Unbelievable. Can you believe this crap !!! Roll eyes

"The United States Supreme Court ruled Monday in favor of biotech giant Monsanto, closing the door on a patent case that has pitted a smalltime farmer from Indiana against a titan of the agriculture industry.

The high court said early Monday that 75-year-old farmer Vernon Bowman of Indiana violated Monsanto’s patent rights when he purchased a mix of seeds from a grain elevator that he later planted on his Midwest farm. That mix included patented Roundup Ready soybean seeds manufactured by Monsanto that are sold under license because they can hold up against their namesake, a nasty pesticide regularly used on farms."

"Bowman argued that he could do whatever he wanted with the Roundup Ready seeds since he obtained them rightfully from a grain elevator and the terms of Monsanto’s licensing agreement under the patent did not apply to him. Under Monsanto’s terms, Roundup Ready seeds can only be harvested once and must not be saved or reused."

Russia warns about Monsanto.

"The shocking minutes relating to President Putin’s meeting this past week with US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal the Russian leaders “extreme outrage” over the Obama regimes continued protection of global seed and plant bio-genetic giants Syngenta and Monsanto in the face of a growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most certainly” lead to world war."

Obama needs to bee brought around to reality. Monsanto is bent on the destruction of civilization as we know it. And they have many greedy enablers. Talk about the devil incarnate; the bastards (all of them, including the POTUS) are destroying the ability for life at the very foundation of sustainability.

BeeTree I read the link you posted and there is nothing at all posted about Monsanto or even Putin meeting with John Kerry. Roll eyes

Here maybe you like this link better. Thinking

Don't forget the x CEO of Monsanto that sits in the current Supreme Court, BeeTree.

Ya' know, it is not the greatest to learn by, either. I mean, it takes every progression of the pharma buyouts to mean "Monsanto". I hate it when politicians do that, and now, this just feels every bit as cobbled together as most of the stuff unearthed and declared as, "Unbelievable!"

A BEE War. That is funny.

There is a War on Bee's BeeTree !!

Read here. That should be criminal.
