Monsanto turns to Blackwater for increased security, intelligence and ‘infiltrate activist groups’

Monsanto, a biotechnology farming development company,  has hired the private security firm Academi, formerly known as Blackwater, to perform security work and gather intelligence amid growing public opposition to genetically modified foods, or GMOs, according to documents obtained by The Nation.

One of the most incendiary details in the documents is that Blackwater, through Total Intelligence, sought to become the “intel arm” of Monsanto, offering to provide operatives to infiltrate activist groups organizing against the multinational biotech firm. – emphasis added.

Some may want to point to politics to attempt to follow the money trail, but it appears to lead to both major political parties: “Democrat, Republican, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can help Monsanto slide its icy tentacles into the food chain, then there’s some financial tip available to you,” writes Nation of Change.

“Looking at these figures, over $260,000 was openly pumped into the House, and $122,000 was pumped into the Senate. And again, this is openly. I’m speculating, but I would imagine the real number to easily be in the millions,” the article asserts.

The Blackwater firm is well established as The Nation notes: “Kingdom of Jordan, the Canadian military and the Netherlands police, as well as several US military bases, including Fort Bragg, home of the elite Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), and Fort Huachuca, where military interrogators are trained, according to the documents.”

Some believe that increased public opposition to GMO products could have sparked the Monsanto security contract, which was designed to protect its products.

“Monsanto, by hiring a mercenary army and former CIA field agents, is deadly serious about protecting its deadly products. Yet, this contract further discredits the company. The public can now paint an even bleaker picture of the firm that brought us Agent Orange, PCBs, rBST, DDT, aspartame and, now, hit men,” writes blogger Randy Ananda.

Monsanto has been criticized for producing GMOs that some scientific studies have claimed causes cancer. Groups like the Center for Food Advocacy claim that in recent years, the multinational agricultural corporation filed 142 patent infringement suits against 410 farmers and 56 small businesses across the U.S.

The Non-GMO project reports that 80 percent of foods in supermarkets across the U.S. contain GMOs, including tomatoes, corn, potatoes and soybeans.

    “Technological Progress” and the Imperium do not mix.

    All the technological progression of humanity happened thousands of years prior to the Age of Imperium, during the Dark Age of Technology, most of which was lost in the Age of Strife.

    Very little has been advanced since the start of the Imperium, most of which is just for military use, like the Titans or the Adeptus Astartes.

    So?

    Personally, I would sacrifice the freedom of man for a few thousands of years if we colonize the galaxy. All empires eventually fall, and the technological progress would be worth the suffering of millions/billions.
