A Washington
State alfalfa farmer got a nasty surprise when he took his product to a
broker for sale; he found out that he’d been somehow GMO’ed on the crop he planted.
The standard test findings by the brokers found traces of “Round
Up” resistant genetics in the crop, this was a major blow to the farmer,
especially since he was counting on selling the product to a mostly anti-GMO overseas
market.
This newest genetically altered organism scandal would have been
alarming enough to both the farming community, as well as the consumer, given
that the tests proved this incident was not a case of cross-pollination by
another farmers GMO tainted crop, but
unbeknownst by the farmer, was planted
from illegal seeds he was sold in 2010 while the crop was banned.
To add insult to injury to the farmer, along with American
society, the
U.S.D.A neither cared, nor bothered to investigate how something like this
could have happened; even though the offending seeds were illegal at the time
they were sold to the unsuspecting farmer.
The fact that the United States
Department of Agriculture could turn a blind eye to this revelation like a
paid off cop during prohibition, also points out how most of us do not have a
clue what’s GMO tainted whether it is in our store shelves, or on our American
farming fields. Washington D.C has obviously already been bought by the Monsanto Corporation to
begin with, just like all the other major corporations have done so in the past
with impunity.
Why should the U.S.D.A do anything about GMO’s being
silently and illegally filtered in with the rest of the nation’s crop stores so
that eventually, everyone will just have to give up their protests and conform
because it is already too late to do anything about it.
Everything including our environment and our government is
tainted regardless, so why even bother trying to stop it – This seems to be the
rationality the Federal government would like us in America and the rest of the world to
believe in; then we would all realize that resisting the corrupt establishment
is futile at best.
I myself would rather still believe in a world without
corrupt, self-centered politicians, and that the governments they run should be
quickly and efficiently purged of them. Instead
of wasting our time listening to more paid off bullshit from both major
political parties, we should all vow to run the crooked bastards out with a
simple cast of the vote in 2016 and beyond. That is the true American dream of “change”
for our nation, and hopefully will be every election year from now on!
