This makes me want to puke......these SOBs stand exposed as far as I am
concerned. It has been a brilliant campaign developed over the last
four decades. Bastards. Read carefully and see the developing
incremental control over the worlds food. Frogs in a pot. Screw Bill
Gates for multiple reasons.

Firms Seek Patents on ‘Climate Ready’ Altered Crops
by Rick Weiss
Excerpt:
A handful of the world’s largest agricultural biotechnology companies
are seeking hundreds of patents on gene-altered crops designed to
withstand drought and other environmental stresses, part of a race for
dominance in the potentially lucrative market for crops that can handle
global warming, according to a re****t being released today.0513 05 1 2
Three companies — BASF of Germany, Syngenta of Switzerland and Monsanto
of St. Louis — have filed applications to control nearly two-thirds of
the climate-related gene families submitted to patent offices
worldwide, according to the re****t by the Ottawa-based ETC Group, an
activist organization that advocates for subsistence farmers.
The applications say that the new “climate ready” genes will help crops
survive drought, flooding, saltwater incursions, high temperatures and
increased ultraviolet radiation — all of which are predicted to
undermine food security in coming decades.
