Bernie Sanders Interview ‘Cancelled Because Monsanto Was Threatening to Sue’
A glimpse into simple corruption
Latest News
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently did an interview with CBS revolving around agriculture. Sanders has not yet elaborated on his claims, but he reportedly attests that a scheduled interview with CBS was cancelled because “Monsanto threatened to sue” the network.
During a town hall meeting, a citizen asked Sanders what he thought of GMOs and Monsanto. Sanders reportedly says:
“Monsanto is a very, very powerful corporation. They are one of the leaders in food technology and basically working hard to transform our food system. Let me tell you a funny story, or not so funny. In my state, a great dairy state, we have a lot of dairy cows. There was an effort to put what was called BGH, bovine growth hormone, which is a stimulant that makes cows produce cows more milk but is unhealthy. I was against that.
I’ll never forget this. I was invited by CBS, not a small company, to appear on television to talk about why I was opposed to bovine growth hormone. CBS then called me up and said, ‘Well, Monsanto is threatening to sue us, so we can’t go on with it.’ They are very powerful.”
Bernie Sanders didn’t elaborate on when this conversation took place, but his claim is not unusual compared to those made by others. Dr. Arpad Pustazai was one of the first scientists to be shut-up by the biotech industry, and there have been dozens more. Dr. Thierry Vrain, a former biotechnologist himself, has blown the whistle on the industry as well. Kirk Azevedo was also once employed by Monsanto, but later exposed the dangers of Bt toxins in GE plants.
The point here is that Monsanto has more control than the average citizen is aware of. It looks like silencing a presidential candidate is just another day at the office for Monsanto.

Hey Monsanto go phuque yourself
up with your phaque phude!
Gmo Roberts works for Monsanto, gets a regular paycheck, hes a poison peddler who hates the planet for some reason…maybe got hit by lightning or something, maybe hates mother nature cuz shes considered female……ignore the ignorant,see you at the Hague!!
Bernie has his good points and bad., He’s of better service to the American public NOT in the White House.
The WH is supposed to be of service to the American public.
Sanders is the only candidate who’s solidly opposed to the TPP – which was designed in secret by corporations specifically to overthrow the governments of all the ‘participating’ nations.
That is my observation. Sanders is the voice of people, and he reminds us why we continue to march against Monsanto. It is great to have someone who applies his people logic at a time when the GOP are in a mess. Monsanto, and several other corporates are buying votes like crazy, then there is Trump. It is comforting to hear Sanders.
Thank You Bernie. You are the only politician who is standing up for every American citizen who has the right to know what is in their food. I hope that you are the successful Presidential Candidate and I could not believe that Hilary – the Bride of Frankenfood and good friend of Monsanto who accepted $325,000.00 from this Satanic Biotech to speak on Monsanto’s behalf. The American population is slowly being diseased and killed by this Satanic Corporation of which Hilary Clinton is a part of.
I would like all Americans to educate themselves and vote for Bernie Sanders. We need honesty, integrety, passion and transparency from our next President and I believe that the only one who qualifies and who posesses all these qualities is indeed BERNIE SANDERS!
The white house is serving the general public.
Yes thank you for continuing to spread lies and divert us from the real issues in the election.
Ms. Sarich gives you a purpose in life. Why don’t you give the same loving treatment to the other Natural Society authors?
I have commented on many of Julie’s stories and have found most of hers well written, even though we do not agree on every subject she seems to be fair in her reporting. Chrissy on the other hand is anything but fair. She is misleading and usually just wrong.
Christina is wrong because according to Sanders, Monsanto threatened to sue CBS?
What every person on the planet who eats does every day is eat. So No, recklessly mutated foods plants marinated in carcinogenic chemical concoctions in their diets is not a major issue.
What you seem to forget or just plain don’t understand, is that gmos and using chemicals have zero to do with each other. Agricultural chemicals have been used on food for over fifty years. They will continue regardless of gmos, including on most organic fields as well.
Bull: The business model is that GMOs are a vehicle to deliver chemicals. What percentage of GM food plants do NOT require heavy repeated spraying? And those are just the everyday chemicals -then there’s the 80-90 EXPERIMENTAL chemicals being used in Hawaii, in unknown combinations, producing potentially trillions of uniquely toxic combinations, none of which have been tested or studied at all except by trial and error in the open field. Regardless of which ones turn out to do something profitable, every one is toxic to humans, in micro doses. The insidiousness consists of two factors: 1) TIME – slowly increasing physiological and biochemical harm with continued exposure; not too noticeable at first and many are bioaccumulative. 2) INTERACTION – Each chemical interacts with each other chemical, each chemical interacts with the unique immediate biochemistry of each person exposed, and all of that interacts with each person’s unique diet, prescription drug, supplement and vaccine intake.
In this light, 1 in 50 autistic children should be no surprise. I’ve heard forecasts of 1 in 2 by 2050. Lovely.
…Big spike in pancreatic cancer since glyphosate can be used W/O worry of killing the GMO’d plants that it is being applied to.
LOL, zero proof to your claim that they are connected. It is much more likely rising do to a fatter lazier society that we live in today.
Like you, no doubt, “Rob”……..
Sorry, but am the picture of health, except for high blood pressure that runs in the family and is easily controlled. It must be the hard work of helping farmers feed the world, but alas that is beyond your grasp.
You DO have a bad case of Anal Cranium.
If you use theme GMO roberts, you work for them. Good luck to you.
Beep, wrong again. I own my own company. I’m very happy that gmos have replaced the dangerous insecticides like furadan that I use to have to handle. You really need to do some real research.
“Wankers Incorporated” is your company….
Must be fun to hide behind your internet name making fun of people without offering any proof to refute my claim. How sad to be you.
The ice upon which you stand, is paper thin.
Your claims are baseless.
What’s your name, BTW? Oh. Never mind. I posted it in my last comment……..
Once again nothing useful from Bobby.
So, let’s get this straight: Monsanto sends you twenty bucks a week, and lends you a doublewide trailer complete with a X386 computer so you can post your masturbatory rants that have nothing to do with reality…..
Water always finds its own level, as you have.
Lol, I get it bobby you are just a typical loud mouth know it all. As usual wrong again.
Your double wide is available on Goggle maps. It’s perched right in the middle of an overgrown lawn, with a few old washing machines, and a rusted out Chevy van up on blocks as lawn ornamentation.
Google maps doesn’t see your mom tied to a garage creeper, hidden under your bed, though…..
Lol, you must be looking at one of your rich uncles properties again!
No. It’s yours. Clearly.
Prove it, yet. Again you just lied. Busted!! Thanks again loser.
You’re busted for sleeping with your mom on a garage creeper
Sorry I left kindergarten a long time ago, but you seem to still be there with the childish insults. See ya moron.
Please get educated.
If you mean your form of stupidity, no thanks I’ll pass.
Study says Bernie Sanders’ tax plan could nearly double national debt. Yet more proof that you are backing a loser.
Really? Post the “Study”.
Liar.
Why? You not smart enough to look it up for yourself? Thanks for proving you are lazy and stupid.
You simply cannot back up your so called ‘facts’.
Liar.
Google it there moron it is on many sites again anyone interested knows you are a total moron. Maybe the articles are incorrect, but your refusal to acknowledge that they exist only proves you don’t care about the truth.
Those sites might as well share the domain tinfoilhat.net. You are standing on a greasy, and very thin veneer of LIES.
How does an a$$hole like you sleep at night?
Thanks again Christina for the article’s, nice reporting.
