America the polluted

CounterPunch
by Paul Craig Roberts

02/26/13

In the United States everything is polluted. Democracy is polluted with special interests and corrupt politicians. Accountability is polluted with executive branch exemptions from law and the Constitution and with special legal privileges for corporations, such as the Supreme Court given right to corporations to purchase American elections...

Farmer Challenges Monsanto Seed Patent in Supreme Court

Andrew Pollack, The New York Times News Service: At stake in the case is whether patents on seeds, or other things that can self-replicate, extend beyond the first generation of the products. It is one of two cases before the Supreme Court related to the patenting of living organisms.

Dreißig Jahre ist es nun her, dass die ersten gentechnisch veränderten Pflanzen im Labor entwickelt wurden. Der Gentechnikexperte Christoph Then zieht jetzt Resümee, und die Ergebnisse sind erschreckend! Die längste Anbaugeschichte von gentechnisch veränderten Organismen (kurz GVO) hat die USA durch Monsanto zu verzeichnen. Das Unternehmen machte sich im Vietnamkrieg und durch die Herstellung des Entlaubungsmittels Agent Orange einen Namen. Jetzt produziert es vor allem Herbizide und gentechnisch verändertes Saatgut. Durch die beinahe globale Monopolstellung von Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow AgroSciences, Dupont und Bayer, erhöhte sich der Preis von Saatgut auch im konventionellen Bereich. Von Isabell Riedl
