(NaturalNews) Monsanto is now in full retreat against a global
grassroots rejection of its poisons and lies. The company is
backpedaling on every front now, even
admitting defeat in Europe and now trying to focus its last, desperate efforts on the United States and Brazil.
But even in the Americas, Monsanto is losing on every front: GMO
labeling legislation is cropping up in over a dozen states, the global
March Against Monsanto
demonstrated global grassroots unity against GMOs, and even the
so-called "science" behind the "safety" GMOs is revealed as utter
hogwash now that GMOs have
escaped Monsanto's experimental wheat fields and contaminated commercial wheat crops in America.
Japan has halted U.S. wheat imports and
South Korea joined in as well. Ben & Jerry's ice cream company
has announced it is going 100% GMO-free, and
massive boycotts are under way against brands that tried to block the GMO labeling ballot measure in California (Prop 37).
We've reached the tipping point against Monsanto
Jeffrey Smith of
www.ResponsibleTechnology.org
has always talked about a "tipping point" being reached on GMOs, after
which the flood of consumer awareness and demand would force food
manufacturers and retailers to begin the process of ditching GMOs.
I believe that tipping point has now been reached. In fact, I believe the March Against
Monsanto
was the final push over the fulcrum of the tipping point, and I am
ecstatic that so many people all around the world marched in the streets
to protest
global food injustice while the wholly-discredited mainstream media sat back and pretended the march never even took place!
In one fell sweep, the
tipping point against Monsanto was triggered and the whole world realized the mainstream media has
zero credibility. I'll call that a victory any day!
Next steps: Commands from headquarters?
If
you're waiting for "commands from headquarters" to figure out what's
next in the war for food justice and farming justice -- the war against
Monsanto and GMOs -- you don't really understand this movement. The
beauty of everything that's happening today is that there IS no
headquarters!
Activists against Monsanto are simply making this
up as we go along. There is no "leader." There is no secret strategy
meeting. There are no talking points. There is no overarching set of
milestones being discussed. There is no one person that makes all this
happen.
The anti-GMO movement is all just large numbers of courageous individuals waking up and
doing what needs to be done, whether that's organizing a march, posting videos online, boycotting
food brands that use GMOs, or holding home viewing parties of DVDs that educate people on the truth about GMOs.
This
is the movement's strength. This is why nobody can be intimidated, sued
or shut down by Monsanto. Behind every activist there are a thousand
more carrying the torch for food justice. The anti-GMO grassroots
movement absolutely will not stop until GMOs are banned from the global
food supply, and that bold statement is just as true in Venezuela and
Portugal as the United States. Everywhere that people eat food and grow
food, everyone who is informed supports the idea of outlawing GMOs
entirely.
This goal will be achieved. I can see it now with
clarity. The grassroots energy behind this movement is unstoppable. And
while everyone in the grassroots anti-GMO movement may come from
slightly different viewpoints on other social, political and economic
issues, they all agree that
GMOs have no place in the food supply, period!
As I recently said in my speech at the March Against Monsanto in Austin:
The
fact that you are here, in all your beautiful diversity... is proof
that they cannot divide us! They can only unite us with their insanity!
If you are part of the effort to stop Monsanto and outlaw GMOs,
you are winning.
You are making a measurable, effective difference in the world, and the
positive shockwaves of your efforts will be felt for generations to
come.
Keep up the good work. :-)
