"THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF OWNING FOOD
~ ALL FOOD."

The United States is threatening nations who oppose Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM)
crops with military-style trade wars, according to information obtained
and released by the organization WikiLeaks.
Nations like France, which have moved to ban one of Monsanto’s GM corn varieties, were requested to be ‘penalized’ by the United States for opposing Monsanto and genetically modified foods.
The information reveals just how deep Monsanto’s roots have penetrated key positions within the United States government, with the cables reporting that many U.S. diplomats work directly for Monsanto.
The WikiLeaks cable reveals that in late 2007, the United States ambassador to France and business partner to George W. Bush, Craig Stapleton, requested that the European Union along with particular nations that did not support GMO crops be penalized.

Stapleton, who co-owned the Dallas/Fort Worth-based Texas
Rangers baseball team with Bush in the 1990s, stated:
Country team Paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the EU since this is a collective responsibility, but that also focuses in part on the worst culprits. The list should be measured rather than vicious and must be sustainable over the long term, since we should not expect an early victory. Moving to retaliation will make clear that the current path has real costs to EU interests and could help strengthen European pro-biotech voices.
THE LEAKED POLITICAL AGENDA
BEHIND
MONSANTO’S GMO CROPS
The ambassador plainly calls for ‘target retaliation’ against nations who are against using Monsanto’s genetically modified corn, admittedly linked to organ damage and environmental devastation.
Amazingly, this is not an isolated case. In similar newly released cables, United States diplomats are found to have pushed GMO crops as a strategic government and commercial imperative.

Furthermore, the U.S. specifically targeted advisers to the Pope, due to the fact that many Catholic bishops and figureheads have openly denounced GMO crops. In fact, the Vatican has openly declared Monsanto’s GMO crops as a ‘new form of slavery’.
'A Martino deputy told us recently that the cardinal had
co-operated with embassy Vatican on biotech over the past two years in part to
compensate for his vocal disapproval of the Iraq war and its aftermath ~ to
keep relations with the USG [US government] smooth. According to our source,
Martino no longer feels the need to take this approach,' says the cable.
Perhaps the most shocking piece of information exposed by the
cables is the fact that these U.S. diplomats are actually working
directly for biotech corporations like Monsanto. The cables also
highlight the relationship between the U.S. and Spain in their conquest to
persuade other nations to allow for the expansion of GMO crops. Not only did
the Spanish government secretly correspond with the U.S. government on the
subject, but the U.S. government actually knew beforehand how Spain would vote
before the Spanish biotech commission reported their decision regarding GMO
crops.
The cable states:
'In response to recent urgent requests by [Spanish rural affairs ministry] state secretary Josep Puxeu and Monsanto, post requests renewed US government support of Spain’s science-based agricultural biotechnology position through high-level US government intervention.'
Monsanto has undoubtedly infiltrated the United States
government in order to push their health-endangering agenda, and this has been
known long before the release of these WikiLeaks cables.
The U.S. is the only place where Monsanto’s synthetic hormone
Posilac is still used in roughly 1/3 of all cows, with 27 nations banning the substance over
legitimate health concerns.
Despite Monsanto’s best attempts at incognito political
corruption, nothing can stop the grassroots anti-Monsanto movement that is
taking over cities and nations alike.

Thanks for posting this article Noor. I think people trying to create a monopoly with food production is about as evil as it gets. The food they want to produce isn't even fit to eat. GMO food causes damage to internal organs. This stuff really makes me angry! It doesn't even bother them that this poison will be fed to children! People better wake up and start organizing!
