GMO Cops: Biotech Giant Hires Former Cops to ‘Enforce Patents’
A new private force of former police officers which I have dubbed ‘GMO Cops‘ will now be hunting down any farmer who is replanting biotech giant DuPont’s GM seeds to save their failing genetically modified harvest. That’s right, they’re literally seeking farmers who replant Roundup Ready soybeans who are in violation of DuPont’s patent. And as the second largest seed company in the world (second only to Monsanto), DuPont is hiring dozens of former cops and sending them across the entire continent of North America to track down farmers who haven’t paid up.
GMO Cops or The GMO Mafia?
Another term to describe these individuals may also be the ‘GMO Mafia‘. Literally sent to ‘protect sales’ and essentially shake down struggling farmers who may actually be replanting DuPont’s ‘patented seeds’ without paying the company in licensing fees, the GMO Cop Mafia’s mission statement is to ensure that “illegal beans” do not get planted. After all, if a farmer were able to replant these beans, then it may slightly make up for the horrible yields produced from the crops. The same yields that have been a major factor — if not the factor — in over a quarter of a million farmer suicides.
Farmers who lost everything after signing on to deceptive deals with the likes of Monsanto and other biotech companies.
The GMO Cops Mafia news also comes literally just 24 hours after it was revealed that GM cotton crops fell by at least 40% according to mainstream government reports. Similar news has been making the headlines about GM corn, which is being absolutely ravaged by heavily ‘mutated’ rootworms that are resistant to the pesticide-producing capabilities of the GMO crops. Pesticide producing GMOs that ultimately end up in your stomach.
It should come as no surprise that DuPont also fell 5.6% this year in the stock market.
So perhaps DuPont has realized that they better start shaking down their clients now before their empire ultimately collapses along with Monsanto. And if it’s not resistant rootworms, horrendous failures to yield, or a disturbingly high rate of farmer suicide, its the numerous country-wide bans on GMOs that continue to be announced each month. From Russia to Peru (which passed a monumental 10 year ban), GM crops are effectively being phased out of the international food supply.
The bottom line, it seems, is that DuPont is out to get every last penny before the company faces serious resistance. As one research professor told Bloomberg:
“Farmers are never going to get cheap access to these genetically engineered varieties… the biotech industry has trumped the legitimate economic interests of the farmer again.”
But regardless of the GMO Cop Mafia, DuPont will not be able to weather the mass opposition to GM crops that is continually mounting on a grassroots level. Like their cohort Monsanto, even all of the political brute force in the world cannot save the company from ultimately collapsing.

I still don't see why farmers especially American farmers are using GM seeds, just goes to show you that just as George Carlin said it best, people are stupid. You can only hope and pray that people get smart when all the BS is laid out in front of them for all to see once Monsanto becomes the next scandal like the tobacco company at one point.
Corruption as usual.
Maybe their soil is so polluted with Roundup that nothing else at all CAN grow there.
GMO mafia for sure… what's next, GMO army?
Schmeiser. was not an offender. Monsanto’s franken seeds got into his crops some “other” way. Percy had spent years developing his own Canola seed which he now can not use. “On March 19, 2008 Monsanto settled out of court, paying the $660 without stipulation.[4]” from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Schmeiser
