27 June 2013 Though the con­trolled cor­po­rate media appa­ra­tus is sup­press­ing the sto­ry, 40 tons of GMO crops were torched, prompt­ing an FBI inves­ti­ga­tion. There has been a COMPLETE MEDIA BLACKOUT, out­side of local cir­cles has dared to men­tion it, per­haps because gov­ern­ment fears that if the pub­lic learns that oth­er peo­ple are get­ting fight­ing mad (lit­er­al­ly), they might join in, and become an actu­al rev­o­lu­tion. It was only report­ed local­ly live on KXL Radio and echoed by the Ore­gon­ian, where the ONLY web men­tion exists, hard to find because the head­line word­ing is care­ful­ly avoids the most like­ly key­words for a search.

Here’s what hap­pened — 40 Tons of GMO Sug­ar Beets were set ablaze in East­ern Ore­gon, yes­ter­day. FORTY TONS — the entire acreage of two full fields of crops IN THE GROUND were set ablaze over a THREE NIGHT PERIOD OF TIME. That means ARSON.

Evi­dence is that 6,500 plants were destroyed BY HAND, ONE PLANT AT A TIME. That, in turn, implies A LOT OF PEOPLE were involved: would you want to stick around once a fire was going and wait to be dis­cov­ered? No, some­one (many some­ones) prob­a­bly want­ed to move as quick­ly as pos­si­ble. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A MOVEMENT, a kind of ORGANIZED REVOLT — and this is exact­ly the kind of ret­ri­bu­tion that many have warned was com­ing; when law­mak­ers and cor­po­ra­tions refuse to hon­or the Con­sti­tu­tion and instead engage in ‘legal­ized’ crim­i­nal acts such as enabled by the ‘Mon­san­to Pro­tec­tion Act.’

More than decade ago, envi­ron­men­tal sabo­teurs van­dal­ized exper­i­men­tal crops across the coun­try in a revolt against high-tech agri­cul­ture. Foes of genet­ic engi­neer­ing also struck in 2000, when mem­bers of the Earth Lib­er­a­tion Front, with roots in Ore­gon, set fire to agri­cul­ture offices at Michi­gan State Uni­ver­si­ty. ELF’s posi­tion was that genet­ic engi­neer­ing was “one of the many threats to the nat­ur­al world as we know it.”

But ELF cells nor­mal­ly come for­ward imme­di­ate­ly to claim respon­si­bil­i­ty, because to them, its all about pub­lic­i­ty to edu­cate the pub­lic. Since there has been no state­ment about the recent arson this may have sim­ply been Ore­gon Farm­ers who have said, ‘Enough!’ Anoth­er clue that may be the case is that this comes on the heels (two weeks) of Japan’s rejec­tion of the entire Ore­gon Wheat crop for the year (a tremen­dous finan­cial blow because over 80% of Ore­gon Wheat is export­ed) because ONE report said ONE field was con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed with at least ONE GMO plant.

The right­ful fear is, because of pol­li­na­tion process­es, once you intro­duce a GMO crop of a giv­en vari­ety ANYWHERE, the wind and insects will spread its genet­ic con­t­a­m­i­na­tion to non GMO fields, and there­by ruin the ENTIRE INDUSTRY for a region. In fact, Ore­gon farm­ers have ten­dered a mul­ti-bil­lion dol­lar class action law suite against Mon­san­to, join­ing a long list of states doing so. Mon­san­to has exper­i­ment­ed with GMO crops before they were approved in 16 states. They were sup­pos­ed­ly all destroyed, but state after state is find­ing out the hard way, that Pandora’s box has been delib­er­ate­ly left open.

But while oth­er gov­ern­ments in Europe and else­where are pass­ing laws to ban GMO crops, and burn­ing entire crops them­selves, in Amer­i­ca, our gov­ern­ment is pass­ing laws pro­tect­ing Mon­san­to from legal reper­cus­sions, and there­fore, it seems, farm­ers are forced to burn the crops, them­selves. This means that where in oth­er coun­tries, cit­i­zens are being pro­tect­ed from cor­po­rate crimes, in Amer­i­ca, cit­i­zens are forced to become ‘ter­ror­ists’ to sur­vive. That’s how bla­tant­ly cor­rupt our cor­po­rate police state has become, I’m afraid.

Can GMO spark an armed rev­o­lu­tion? Recall this report on the Putin’s com­ments about how the pro­tec­tion of Mon­san­to (through things like the “Mon­san­to Pro­tec­tion Act”) could lead to armed revolt and war. This sto­ry was report­ed on by Polit­i­cal Blind Spot after ver­i­fy­ing the claims we had seen cir­cu­lat­ing, and omit­ting those which we had heard but could not ver­i­fy. Still, Mon­san­to pub­lic rela­tions employ­ees were lit­er­al­ly paid to track down arti­cles such as ours and try to argue that they should be tak­en down (we may pub­lish these exchanges with them from offi­cial Mon­san­to email address­es).

In this case, both fields belonged to the same Cor­po­rate Agri­cul­tur­al giant known for embrac­ing GMO, though try­ing to do so qui­et­ly, anoth­er rea­son per­haps big media has kept the sto­ry from reach­ing the Inter­net. We are talk­ing about Syn­gen­ta. Nowhere on their US web site will you find men­tion of GMO, but that is exact­ly what the com­pa­ny is about. They have even lied pub­licly in writ­ing on this issue with a pub­lic dec­la­ra­tion. Yet their very cor­po­rate name shouts GMO.

But the FBI, and local media knows bet­ter (and now, you)… because appar­ent­ly some­one from the Syn­gen­ta oper­at­ed farms men­tioned the fact as a pos­si­ble motive for the arson. This is a seri­ous mat­ter in many respects. It throws down the gaunt­let and says, WE ARE MAD AS HELL AND ARE NOT GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS BULLSHIT ANYMORE! But it also rais­es the stakes and put lives and prop­er­ty at risk, and if it goes wrong, could indeed end up spark­ing an armed rev­o­lu­tion, just as Putin indi­cat­ed to Pres­i­dent Oba­ma.
