The Monsanto corporate website was hacked on May 29, 2013, just days after more than 2 million people marched against the organization around the world, and despite an almost complete media blackout. Anonymous, a group of internet hackers calling themselves ‘hacktivists’, was able to temporarily shut down the site as an act of outright revolt against Monsanto’s illegal and predatory practices of planting poison GMO crops even despite the public’s desperate attempts to stop them.
A statement released by Anonymous relates:
“Monsanto is facing the wrath of activists because they are altering the nature of our food supply without a concern about long term effects on human health, because they are creating a monopoly on the supply of seeds for farmers, and, because of increasing evidence of long term environmental damages.”
This same hacktivist has previously hacked into Monsanto’s website before, and also the public relations companies associated with them. In December of 2012, the hackers infiltrated the PR firm known as The Biving Group due to “15+ years of running marketing campaigns and helping some of the most corrupt corporations on the planet, as well as several governmental agencies, cover up their dirt.” Going by information released by Anonymous, Bivings Group shut down all of their servers and liquidated their assets after the infiltration.
Will activists take on increasingly desperate attempts to shut down corporations like Monsanto as the global spread of GMO seed endangers our food supply? As Monsanto seems to slide like a slippery eel through government institutions that are supposed to protect the people from health hazards like GMO, including the Senate, Congress, FDA, and our completely mute presidential office, perhaps the public is getting anxious as the GMO monopoly continues to grow in India and the US, as in other countries, despite rampant activism to stop them.
The group itself demands Monsanto to stop:
- Contaminating the global food chain with GMO’s.
- Intimidating small farmers with bullying and lawsuits.
- Propagating the use of destructive pesticides and herbicides across the globe.
- Using “Terminator Technology”, which renders plants sterile.
- Attempting to hijack UN climate change negotiations for your own fiscal benefit.
- Reducing farmland to desert through monoculture and the use of synthetic fertilizers.
- Inspiring suicides of hundreds of thousands of Indian farmers.
- Causing birth defects by continuing to produce the pesticide “Round-up”
- Attempting to bribe foreign officials
- Infiltrating anti-GMO groups
One commenter on AnonymousEX’s Facebook timeline stated, “Anonymous is not one, Anonymous is everybody!”
We are under constant ongoing attack by biotech and chemical companies. It is not unreasonable for us to react in self-defense.
Talking about a hornets nest!
Never underestimate the power of true love for the land that keeps
humanity alive, to wipe out evil that seeks to destroy what all is good
and sacred.
They won't stop until they are forced by law. But no one can tell me they are not feeling this global wrath. I am proud of our planet. People have had enough. I for one, have completely changed my shopping habits (completely local, organic, or GMO free), use my buycott app religiously, and started a garden, which I havent done in years! Go informed humans!!! We have far more power with our dollars than they think we do! We rock!
Voting with your wallet is good but it is not enough. The millions who do not have access to farmer’s markets and local food, to land to garden on, need to be convinced. Local political and educational action is needed. All farmer’s markets must make a political stand to be non-gmo, educating their vendors and their customers. County resolutions are reqired to push counties into a non-gmo status. Education to farmers for alternatives needs to be assimilated and distributed. Schools must be forced to go non-gmo. Churches must make a stand and educate their members. The USDA must be revealed for the corrupt organization that they are, for their promotion of gmo. Certification of organic fees and regulations need to be reduced and made more accessible to farmers. Subsidies to gmo companies must stop. Regulations on home canning and the sales of local canned foods must be reduced. The LDS church needs to stand up to the closing of thier canneries.
It was said ni Revelations that he would bring ruin to those ruining the earth…..might that be the Corporate Death Star known as Monsanto That kills entire planets with their poisons!!
Good news for home gardeners with little space for a regular garden. My sister and her husband are trying straw bale gardening this year with great success. You can grow food anywhere with straw bales. Growing power to the People!
Deanna – could you give me more info. &/or provide links for 'straw bale gardening'? Thrilled to find your post & would be most interested in any information available.
Many thx –
