The Fumigated Peoples of Argentina and comrades from other fumigated towns in the "United Republic of Soybeans" in Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay and Bolivia are meeting and marching this week in Rosario🇦🇷 for food sovereignty and freedom from fumigation! #GMOs anred.org/2023/06/16/enc…
They're mobilising against the concentration, expulsion, poisoning, disease and death agribusiness brings with its #GMO soy and #pesticides. There have also been talks and workshops organized by the Institute of Socio-Environmental Health of the National University of Rosario. 
"We cannot continue producing crops based on chemicals poisoning people. What they are doing is crazy. The State cannot continue endorsing this way of producing, they are responsible for the economic, environmental and health disaster that is taking place" unosantafe.com.ar/santa-fe/los-p…
As the Marxist agitator #AdamSmith once said, "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."

Smith understood that capitalists hate capitalism. They don't want to compete with one another, because that would interfere with their ability to raise the prices their customers pay and reduce the wages they pay their workers.

Argentina has just approved its 70th #GMO. It's a soybean variety modified to tolerate two herbicides: the carcinogenic glyphosate and glufosinate (banned in the EU). The latter is considered up to 15 times more toxic than #glyphosate itself.
Argentina's latest GMO soybean is part of a commercial offering that includes #GMO varieties of corn, potato, wheat, safflower, cotton & alfalfa. And it precedes the imminent launch of the 1st variety of GMO sugarcane conceived in local laboratories.
None of these #GMO crops incorporate any nutritional improvement, reduce the use of poisons or achieve exorbitant yields as advertised by the companies that commercialise them, the media co-opted by agribusiness, and complicit politicians

1. Instead of reporting, #scicomm writers like @sciencecohen were narrative enforcers for Tony Fauci and other virologists. I'm sure Cohen is hopping mad, but @AshleyRindsberg just went through the emails.

Nothing elegant about this guy
As I explained last summer, Cohen and Fauci protect and promote each other.

3. Since @ScienceMagazine Jon Cohen's emails were made public, he has given conflicting reasons for why he dimed out a whistleblower to his apparent friend Kristian Andersen.

Had a visit from a counterterrorism officer once because someone suggested our fundraising must be for nefarious purposes! Compare this eagerness to spring into action with what happens when environmentalists and whistleblowers are attacked or even killed gmwatch.org/en/106-news/la…
Salomé Saqué: “When environmental activists protest, [the Minister of the Interior] calls them ‘eco-terrorists’ and sends hundreds of police. But when the whistleblower who convicted Monsanto [of poisoning] is the victim of an extremely disturbing attack, there is radio silence.”
French MP Loïc Prud’homme in the 🇫🇷National Assembly: “Mr Minister, it took you less than 3 hours to call demonstrators ‘eco-terrorists’, how many hours will it take you to label these pro-#Monsanto fanatics – ready to do anything to silence whistleblowers – ‘toxic-terrorists’?”
Paul François, the French grain farmer who won legal case against @Bayer-#Monsanto, violently attacked at his home france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/nouvelle-aquit…
@Bayer Hooded men tied up the victim of pesticide poisoning with electric cables, threatened him with a knife to his throat, in an attempt to make him swallow a liquid, while declaring, "We are tired of hearing you and seeing your face on TV." #Monsanto #pesticides
@Bayer Not the first such attack. In 2020 an organic farmer was hospitalised in France after being poisoned in a pesticide attack on his farm, involving "vast quantities of #glyphosate" gmwatch.org/en/news/archiv…
New report shows four largest agrochemical companies — Bayer (#Monsanto), BASF, Corteva & Sinochem — are exerting increasing leverage over an agricultural system that concentrates power & wealth, while threatening health, the environment & access to food beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/…
Institutional economists suggest that when 4 firms combine to control 40% or more of a market it's no longer competitive — it's an oligopoly. @ETC_Group estimates that by 2020 just 4 firms controlled ~51% of seed sales, and 62% of global agrochemical sales philhoward.net/2023/01/04/see…
@ETC_Group In his new report Dr Philip Howard writes, “Such high levels of concentration can also threaten political sovereignty, or lead to additional consequences, including negative impacts on communities, labor, human health, animal welfare, and the environment.” philhoward.net/2023/01/04/see…

As an example of Twitter "labelling facts as misinformation" Lorenz cites Henry I. Miller who was forced to take down a tweet on vaccines.
But who is Henry I. Miller, you might ask?
Excellent question. Have you heard of #Monsanto? How about Big Tobacco? /2

@Fakir_ @IARCWHO These ghostwritten pieces on #glyphosate contain the usual pesticide lobby talking points:
👉Comparison with table salt
👉Glyphosate prevents world hunger
👉@IARCWHO's view is at odds with regulatory agencies

U.S. Supreme Court rejects Bayer bid to nix Roundup weedkiller suits uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/u-supreme… The Supreme Court's action dealt a blow to Bayer as the company maneuvers to limit its legal liability in thousands of cases. #glyphosate
The decision frustrates Bayer’s plan to stem the wave of litigation it has faced since its $63bn takeover of #Monsanto. More than 30,000 claims remain outstanding, for which Bayer set aside $4.5bn in addition to the approximately $11.5bn Bayer had already been forced to set aside
Last month, Bayer’s stock fell 6.2% the day after the Biden administration recommended the Supreme Court decline to hear Bayer’s appeal. That move by the U.S. Justice Department appeared to diminish the chances of the court hearing the case wsj.com/articles/supre… #glyphosate

Brilliant interview with @careygillam on the nuts & bolts of agriculture & pesticide disinformation disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/a-candid-con… Carey's just been blocked by corporate sponsors of a big ag media event from talking to fellow journalists about how to investigate stories using FOIA
@careygillam Carey says corporate money is at play in journalism conferences and gives example of how @Bayer—in exchange for v generous donations—positioned itself to not just set agendas for journalistic conferences but get a say in what kind of stories are applauded and promoted via awards.
@careygillam @Bayer Carey & @thackerpd also discuss the evidence of Monsanto's targeting of journalists & scientists via front groups & other third parties. One group targeting Carey et al was told, “The key will be keeping #Monsanto in the background so as not to harm the credibility of the info.”
