Ecowarriors destroy 6,000 GM beets in Oregon

To protect against genetic contamination, a group of ecodefenders destroyed 6,000 genetically modified beets in Jackson County, Oregon earlier this month. The FBI is involved and has deemed the act “economic sabotage,” despite that Syngenta is creating products that economically destroy organic crops through genetic contamination and pesticide aerial drift.

When cross contamination occurs, then our corrupt judicial system blames the victim farmer who is ordered to pay Monsanto for the company’s failure to control its frankenseeds that contaminated her organic crops.

And they report that shit with a straight face.

Also in Oregon, because our corrupt government won’t join the EU in banning neonicotinoids, someone at Target ordered several flowering linden trees (Tilia americana) in the parking lot to be doused with the poison and surprise, surprise, tens of thousands of bees died when over 150 nearby hives also succumbed.

This, while colony collapse disorder continues unabated. “An estimated 10 billion hives have been lost since colony collapse disorder first emerged in 2006,” reports the LA Times.
