FBI Calls Destruction of GMO Sugar Beets in Oregon Economic SabotageIn a breaking development, the FBI confirms that 1,500 GM Sugar Beet plants were destroyed this month in Oregon, in what they are calling an act of Economic Sabotage. When GM pollen blows into a non-GM farmers fields and irreversibly contaminates his crop with biopollution, who does the law side with? Historically, Monsanto. Also, its not called economic sabotage but rather copyright infringement, and the victim not the aggressor is threatened with economic ruin. When Monsantos unapproved and therefore illegal GM wheat is found years after open field trials growing freely in an Oregon wheat field, the entire state crops export fate is held in limbo, jeopardizing the present and future living of thousands of farmers and their dependents, with Monsanto receiving little more than a reprimand, followed by rapid USDA assurance that despite a lack of approval their GM wheat is safe. Given the unfair rules of the game, no wonder some folks in Oregon, having been treated much like feudal peasants, are taking things into their own pitchfork-bearing hands. So, when the FBI investigates the destruction of genetically modified sugar beets from two fields in Southern Oregons Jackson County this month, the act is immediately labeled economic sabotage, presumably against the multinational corporation who owned the plants. How fitting an FBI description, considering that Monsanto already planted these evil seeds of doubt by suggesting their unapproved GM wheat in Oregon was a result of sabotage, and not negligence on their part. According to the Spokesman Review, The agency [FBI] said in a statement Thursday that about 1,000 sugar beet plants were destroyed on June 8, and more than 5,000 plants were destroyed on a different plot three nights later. The article went on to explain that the plants were owned by the Swiss-based biotech company Sygenta, and that the FBI spokewoman, Beth Anne Steele, would not comment on the manner in which the crops were destroyed because we dont want to encourage copycats. Some resort to pulling up, burning and otherwise destroying the plants themselves. Are they terrorists or freedom fighters? And if you answer affirmatively to the latter definition, will you yourself be defined as an economic saboteur, or terrorist? This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.
