Iraqui people cannot use their own seed they need to buy it from Monsanto

March 16, 2009

Be sure and read this, it is the most disgusting thing I can imagine. What right do we have to invade a country, lie about it and then grab their seed they have saved for generations, and told that they will now buy seed from Monsanto. this is the Epitome of every rotten thing the Bush outfit has done to those people. Disgusting, and it is high time their rights are restored. Their tradition of saving their seed is wonderful, how dare we tell them, their seed now belongs to Monsanto. They should hate us.. I read a write up several years ago, and could not access it anymore on this subject, so it has been going on for awhile. Oh yes, I think the seed was the Franken seed, Genetically Modified crap, probably designed for crop reduction, as in Human style. This is important info, so we can understand, we did not just invade them we took their heritage. sharon
