Flashback: Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Supports Monsanto
Over 90% support GMO opposition
As Hillary Clinton gears up to enter the 2016 presidential race as announced today by her beyond viral Twitter post, we are reminded of her 2014 public appearance – in which she announced public support of Monsanto’s GMO seeds and chemicals. Chemicals like Roundup which was recently confirmed by the WHO to be causing cancer.
“I stand in favor of using seeds and products that have a proven track record …There is a big gap between what the facts are, and what the perceptions are.”
Clinton also remarked that the “benefits” of GMOs should be better explained in order to counteract the massive grassroots tide against the lab-created crops, saying that “Frankensteinish” depictions should be met with a stronger, more positive spin from GMO companies.
And the reality is that Monsanto now only has ‘spin’ left. Hundreds of scientists have warned the world about the effects of biotech’s creations, but perhaps Clinton hasn’t heard of those studies.
Though I’m sure she heard of the World Health Organization’s most recent assessment on glyphosate, a chemical heavily used on genetically modified foods. The WHO recently labeled this chemical as ‘probably carcinogenic,’ which has caused a huge wave of upset with Monsanto. The news also gives increased urgency to reconsider the use of GMO crops which have been made specifically to tolerate copious amounts of pesticides.
Many companies, including Monsanto, have already been stepping up the PR efforts, launching sites like GMO Answers in an attempt to change the narrative. They had tried to bamboozle Europe with PR deception campaigns, but largely failed, and now have turned their sights on other countries like the U.S.
Most recently, it was revealed that biotechnology giant Monsanto actually has an entire department within the corporation with the simple task of ‘discrediting’ and ‘debunking’ scientists who speak out against GMOs.
Do we really want someone in office that will be helping to fast-track the release of GMO foods? Since the majority of Americans don’t know much about GMOs, the race to inform the public of the true nature of GMOs has just sped up.

When Hillary Clinton wins the presidency and names Carol Tucker Foreman the Secretary of Agriculture, anti-GMO activists will be labelled misogynists for the sole fact that women bought and paid for by Monsanto run the White House and the USDA.
You will see the supposedly right-leaning Center for Consumer Freedom suddenly turn into leftist
cheerleaders and defend Clinton and Foreman against “evil right-wing GMO skeptics” and call for Alex Jones, Infowars, Natural Society, Natural News, Mike Adams, and Mercola to be censored for their “GMO troofer paranoia”.
You will see the left-leaning Center for Science in the Public Interest throw any remaining vestige of GMO skepticism away and just flat out and say “you’re a sexist if you’re against GMOs because
Hillary and Carol are in charge”.
You will see Rachel Maddow attack “sexist GMO troofers” at least once a week.
You will see Fox News’ resident Big Pharma shill Marc Siegel attack GMO skeptics as “sexists” and “misogynists” and you will see Bill O’Reilly call for “sexist GMO loons on the far right” to have their free speech taken away by having GMO skepticism labelled a “hate crime”.
Face it. Hillary Clinton will be the next President. She will appoint Carol Tucker Foreman to be Secretary of Agriculture. And if you have a problem with their connections to Monsanto, you will be labelled a sexist/misogynist and probably a hate criminal.
Piece of crap totally biased article. Hilary has my vote 100%

Bernie Sanders all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I stand in favor of using seeds and products that have a proven
track record …There is a big gap between what the facts are, and what
the perceptions are.”
Hillary is right. These products DO have a proven track record. Notice that she specifically DOES NOT say a “track record of safety”. She just says they have a ‘proven track record”, which based on her agenda, would be a track record of damage to children and honeybees all around the world.
She’s an evil psychopath.
One more reason to vote for anyone else.
americans need to become radical and not vote for the [perceived] lesser evil anymore.
Hillary Clinton is a member of the Bilderberg group who are run by ex nazi’s and other international criminals. She’ll do anything the worlds richest garbage will tell her to do. Helping anyone who earns less than 100,000 dollars a year is not on her agenda. She a professional liar as is her husband who helped get roid of the campaign contributions laws that limited contributions to 1000 dollars per person,the only guarantee we had to keep monsanto and the like out of the political process. Now corporations and super wealthy people can make contributions to political canidates for all the money they want giving the rich and incorporated more influence than the guaranteed one person-one vote democratic principal that our constitution stipulates as law,,,,break it and your a traitor.
Well Bobo, I know ewer ready for Hillary!! I know i’m not, but I’m just an idiot! You’ve got s giant 6th grade educated brain!
Thank goodness that others also realize that Clinton is NOT a leftist, liberal, or progressive. She;s a corporatist-fascist. I truly truly wish Kshama Sawant would run for president.
Hillary was keynote speaker at the 2014 BIO (Biotechnology Industry Organization) convention…GMO…group. She said that everyone who did not believe GMOs were safe, was “ignorant”. She also bragged about scattering seeds all over Africa by avoiding the words Genetic Engineering and, instead, calling them “disease resistant.” Bragging about using “spin” means that she is deceitful and enjoys manipulation. Her response to Benghazi was inept and terrible.
Right. She opined that GMOs were fine & dandy and that the industry’s only problem was with PR and vocabulary, i.e., insufficiently effective propaganda. Dishonest and disgusting.
Right on! Hillary is a hypocritical manipulative deceitful puppet for the special interest, domineering corporations as Monsanto and the elitists 1%ers who continue to get tax breaks from our GOP/gov. I hope Americans will see through her facade and vote for the populist pres candidate just like Bernie Sanders!!!!! He tells it like it is!
Bernie is their plant too. Elite class still exists in all socialist countries, hate to burst your bubble. Everything in politics is planned, the media would flat out black him out if he were so dangerous for them. See how it works, you have been manipulated by everything you have been taught in school to vote for him. Who do you think approves what you learn in school, not the teacher.
this person is the height of abbreviated pause………….and nothing more….ludicrous than that…………..despicable that all America can offer is has bens for so many decades…
Oh please; Hillary is a professional politician and a member of the Oligarchy and a multigenerational social parasite. She simply “DANCES WITH THE FELLA THAT BRUNG HER”———-OR—-WILL CHANGE SIDES WITH THE BETTER OFFER.
Voting for her in any office would be a mockery of intelligence.
But then I remember saying the very same thing about G.W. Bush (whom I met in 1982 in Houston—-and hewas as dumb then as he still is now)——and he was “elected twice”.
Which all goes to show that we need other viable parties, or at least a viable third party.
“However much we cheer the Sanders insurgency, the stakes are too high to entrust our shared rebellion to a corporate party that’s thrown us all under the bus for decades.” -Jill Stein
Robert Scheer interviews Stein, including comparisons with Sanders …“I don’t think the Democrats will allow it [Sanders]. They’ve demonstrated they have a kill switch”
Remember, Bernie paid the price of committing to endorse Hillary if he’s not the nominee.
If it becomes Shillary vs some cretin, then vote for Jill Stein. Make a public committment so the DNC knows a large mass will not vote for HRC if she is the nominee. I will vote for Stein, will you? What other choice will there be if Bernie is not nominated?

Jill Stein: “Sanders shows demand for change, but Dems have sabotaged insurgent candidates for decades.” http://www.jill2016.com/after_iowa_building_an_unstoppable_revolution …
“Do we really want someone in office that will be helping to fast-track the release of GMO foods? ” I think there already is, anyways….
If Hilary does win that will mean that those who listen to the alternative media are just a fraction and really are voices in the wind. One of the Hilary Clinton Foundation’s biggest sponsors is the Ukraine Oligarch Victor Pinchuk. The IMF just lent a few billion to the Ukraine with the inclusion that the Ukraine must accept GMO. Why can’t people wake up?
Guy, people can’t wake up because they’re too busy trying to make a living so they can pay their taxes so we keep the rich rich! Then regards GMOs . . . we need to learn to grow own food, well, unless they take that freedom away from us, also.
We grow some of our own food, but can’t do it year-round. We’re worried even about this, though, because 1) Scott’s has marketed a new GMO lawn grass, which will contaminate good grass; 2) 75% of water and air samples from the Delta agricultural region contained Monsanto’s pathogenic Roundup; and 3) the ubiquitous chemtrails contain Alzheimer’s-linked substances. – Still, our own is, to the best of our ability, grown organically from organic seeds and is Much tastier that store-bought junk.
Another big contributor is Canadian oil mogul Frank Giustra (Pacific Rubiales, doing biz in Colombia). He was largely responsible for her 180 degree flip-flop on human rights violations in Colombia. She also favored approving the lethal Keystone XL tar sands pipeline despite that conflict of interest.
Dint you read how GMO’s made their way into the Ukrainian dinning table?
Hello Anthony, I am in the UK, are you able to tell us whom in US politics actually understands GMO issues and the dangers. Many thanks.
Steven Druker’s new book has a summary.
The following 2013 link needs to be checked out and a careful eye needs to be kept on the situation.
Note:
“In the name of efficiency in government and society, this team for BIT in
the US will work with governmental agencies such as the Department of
Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS).”
http://www.occupycorporatism.com/behavioral-insights-team-how-obama-plans-to-control-the-american-public/
“Based on the Behavioural Insights Team
(BIT) created by UK Prime Minister David Cameron (a.k.a. The Nudge
Unit) was created “to influence British policies through insights from
Behavioural Economics in order to achieve the coalition Government’s goal
of finding ‘intelligent ways to encourage, support and enable people to
make better choices for themselves’.”
Each presidency gets worse and worse. If this scumbag makes it to the White House, expect her to top both Bush and Obama. She’ll probably even out do Obama as the best gun salesperson.
Exactly. She will be worse than Obama.
Don’t forget Bill…he gave us the Shafta with NAFTA and signed the partial repeal of the Glass Steagall Act which had been in place since 1933, and which prohibited any
one institution from acting as any combination of an investment bank, a
commercial bank, and an insurance company. This put in place the housing bubble that followed. It would have passed without his signing, but it was important to show that he was against the repeal. There are other issues, but these, to me are primary.
At least she does have this one good thing about her. Thanks for pointing it out!
GMO Roberts is hilarious. I’ve determined he is, in fact, a parody of GMO supporters and uses his comments to convince us that GMOs are in fact terrible.
Yes a terrible thing to feed the world, support farmers and their families.
go back to your den
Read your reply to she. No need to tamper with genetics? Man has changed his food genetics for thousands of years.
not so! crossing a plant to itself is not changing the genetics of the plant as the same messing with it in the lab via test tube…………….and don’t answer back…..reason? You are not capable of such discussion….
Hil Clinton is a zero in each and every way looked at;….
And mutation breeding? Strange how you don’t mention it, isn’t it? That is far worse than gmos, but responsible for over 3000 types of plants, some of which are label today as “organic”.
There’s your rubber stamp again robbie.
The Monsanto corporation and agri-chemical industry are not “man”.
Hard to face the truth isn’t it.
Nothing like killing and sterilizing your support base aye Bobo?
Strange how the population just keeps growing. Wrong again grape ape.
Just keep showing everyone what a cerebral leprechaun you are Bobo! Just keep your pointed head in the sand!
American fertility has reached a record low, driven by falling birthrates among teens and women in their early 20s, the federal government says in a new report being released Thursday.
The number of teen births in 2013 — 274,641 — was the lowest number ever reported for the United States, researchers said in their report on preliminary birth data for 2013.
Overall, America’s total fertility rate fell to just 1.86 births per woman, the lowest since 1986 and a 1 percent decrease from 2012. That figure puts the U.S. on the same course with many Western European nations and Japan, where the birth rate has fallen below what demographers call the “replacement rate,” usually around 2.1 births per woman, needed to keep a country’s population from falling. The U.S. last had a total fertility rate of 2.1 births in 2007.

“Yes a terrible thing to feed the world, …”
Let’s forget that lie robbie, that psy-op, meme, myth and its associated propaganda. I’ve told you before
• Abundance. The world currently produces enough food–exclusive from GM food–to feed approximately 12 billion people. In other words, we don’t need GM food.
• Waste. At least one third of the food that’s produced is wasted. At least. I’ve seen several estimates ranging from 40% – 50% wasted.
• Poverty. Poverty causes starvation. What’s the use of food abundance, GM or not, if you can’t afford to buy it? Is GM food free?
Reasonably priced is a better word.
LOL Ask him about his Mongolian Gerbils!
Umm, yes, you absolutely do have to spin facts, if one side is doing it. I disagree strongly with many Monsanto policies and practices, and GMO seeds are often very poorly designed, as are the laws governing them, but that’s not a condemnation of the science, but the implementation of it. It’s a truism that change and reform is easiest to effect from within, because it’s true. Blind hate and Opposition doesn’t get anywhere.
absolute hogwash…..YOu, This planet, all life here are, were, put here by powers that passes all understanding….and to tamper with the genetics, the very building blocks of all, is idiocy. Not only that! There is no need. PERIod.
to do so…..
She will not be getting my vote in 2016!
If Americans actually have a FUNCTIONING Brain, they should NEVER vote for a Presidential Candidate likr Hillary Clinton who advocates Satanic Monsanto and GMO’s.
The question of if the other candidates want to promote Monsanto and GMO’s should also be asked of them.
Every Politican in the past few decades has NOT cared about the American citizens and the voters who actually believed in them and hoped that they would be honest and caring. It’s all about GREED! Americans would be much healthier if they were not forced to consume garbage like GMO’s. Only people like the Clintons can afford to eat Organic! She obviously has no shame!
I bet that the Clintons, including their grandaughter eat Organic ONLY! NO GMO’s in their diet!
We need a Caring, Honest President who puts the Health of its Ctizens FIRST, and it will NEVER happen with a President who is on Monsanto’s payroll!!
BEN CARSON
There was even a Senator who was an attorney for Monsanto! talk about conflict of interests.
Don’t forget the Obamas. While Michelle touts Organic, her husband puts Monsanto people in charge of all of her food, drugs, agriculture, etc. What a manipulation. Neither care about our health.
Have you noticed all the so-called “ethical vegans” such as the Unnatural Vegan and Freelee The Banana Girl who have popped up lately for the sole purpose of attack GMO skeptics for “distracting from animal rights”?
RIGHT, LEFT, right, left, …. Seriously Americans, have you not learned from the Bush Bama regime of 2000 to 2016? (or atleast the election of 2000) that voting will always be an illusion of choice till US citizens in both sides of the political spectrum agree that things like unlimited presidential corporate donations or the electoral college will always disenfranchise the american public. Like corrupted police, politicians don’t answer to the people but the corporations that funded their career.
you go an vote, like it makes a difference….
Al gore would have been the same as bush sadly.
