all the missing american news in the media war the us is already spending gave a seven hundred million dollars real international call cost. the next we investigate how corporations control over wealth food supplies pizza thousands of people starving to death. it was in order to understand how the system works it is necessary to look at the parties involved the producer and the buyer for example the producer and the fire agree that one will sell and the other will buy a specific amount of weight at a specific price and the product will be delivered in a year from now for that they sign an agreement which is known as a time contract was such contracts ensure producers and buyers against such risks as bad weather and sudden changes and prices. was if you're a farmer you're afraid the prices are going to fall you can lock in the price

months ahead of when you harvest by selling here and get rid of the risk well you can do the same if you're a food buyer a processor like general mills or kellogg's or closest and you can lock in the priced out of the grain months ahead of when you actually need to buy it so that when you actually do go buy it if prices are much higher you've got a port already at a much lower price a lot of. these contracts do not remain in earth they are bought and sold by profiteers and a contract might swap hands dozens of times before it expires for example buyers purchase contracts for wheat a low crisis if the price we close up they have made a profit. that we're transferring risk for purpose of the exchange is to transfer risk from people that have it like farmers and don't want it to people like myself

speculators take the risk because if you take a risk and you're right you make money course if you are wrong you lose money. since two thousand and six big players have begun to appear at the succumb to brain model. now there not only traditional players of the pits but also managers of huge financial institutions that until a few years ago showed no interest in investing and filled. the financial markets which had been very greedy in lending money for mortgages in the united states lost on the mortgage market the sub prime crisis as it was called led to a collapse and in that sense. with the markets crumbling because of the mortgage

crisis highly investing profiteer saw a new opportunity in food they invaded the chicago markets and began to buy time contracts in unprecedented quantities causing prices to shoot up. investors shutdowns of real estate and housing and jumped on the bandwagon of primary commodities food commodities then money and the monopoly control of every business companies like cargill that drove the prices upwards. i totally disagree with that kind of talk that speculators are not behind the big rise in prices speculation has very very little to do with it. when bubbles break liquid gets splashed all over the place and yes there is not a question there was some correlatives selling. i don't doubt for

a moment that speculators move grain prices do i think that they move grain prices by one hundred percent now i think that speculators problem move move the grain prices by. twenty percent fifteen percent. of the prices would have gone out anyway. because of the weather problems on the weak dollar and the export bans on tight world stocks that's right prices run up the hunger that has become permanent and global is totally the creation of the global food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world it's created to maximize the profits for monsanto for seeds of cargill for trade for selling pesticides herbicides fertilizer in the period of two thousand and seven to two thousand and eight while

food prices doubled the profits of these companies also doubled. so if you want to understand why prices are going up while be polite unless you just have to look at these companies and centers buying up every seed company of the world cargill controls about seventy percent of staple food street in the world and they would like going to one hundred percent and they would like the situation with a prayer that says give us this day our daily bread is a prayer not to go to the creator but is a prayer card and then send. us company monsanto is the world's biggest trader of genetically modified seats. it began as a small producer of chemicals turning into one of the creators of the infamous agent orange in the sixty's and seventy's a poison that was used in the vietnam war but the force to huge areas and cause cancer and tetra genesis which continues to affect the country even today.

in two thousand and two the company obtained permission from the government of india to introduce a genetically modified cotton seed in the markets no one knows bt called it is genetically enriched in laboratories with the bacteria capable of killing the parasite stepped foot in this plant. we have been able to develop a technology called border guard a bt cotton technology where we. produce the seed that has protection to pests thereby helping farmers almost double their cotton production reduce the number of pesticides they've been using in the field to control those and really increase their average income in six after the introduction of. become the world's second largest producer and second largest exporter introduction.

for centuries the farmers of india cultivated their farms and their seeds which were given to them by mother earth. they are a gift from the gods that belong to no one and gave everyone the right to use. them how much. we would plant our own seeds from what we used for food we would keep a few the following year we would plant those same seeds. with good i thought they were a natural segue. if there was a drawled they'd come out fine just the same if. we had our own seeds we didn't go to the market and we had no separate expenses for that but. it's. so. so so so.

so. so. we had cotton we had corn we had peppers we had everything. the seeds yours. but they were ours the peppers the corner the cotton were ours. and you want to price for your crop so yes a even won a prize so if your seeds were good why did you take the others the others were also using them we thought we could get a better harvest. and we used them that's how it happened.

with these seeds we got ourselves into debt. so. they assured us we would get two hundred kilos from each field. the first time we had only a few expenses for the seeds. then we used fertilizers and once or twice. now we use them five times and it's not enough. i. believe the soil has lost its strength because of the bt cotton if we use a different seed nothing grows you don't use your own seeds no we do not.

you can't imagine their deception they would bring p.t. seeds and say we don't need to use a lot of chemicals. and for a year it was like that however the following year a new parasite. arrived really. right at the beginning they said we wouldn't need to spray at all. then they said you must use some for this bug or this for the other bug so what is the situation now. and what does monsanto produce it also produces chemicals and who is the biggest trader and chemicals monsanto you think will stop bringing their chemicals and pesticides to the market when any company give up on profit know that people yes the farmers in india cultivate expensive crops they depend on multinationals for seeds and medicine for the lies are of which they need more and more. on

the same farmer that spent nothing on seeds before now must spend forty percent on stilts. before there were no expenses and fertilizer now twenty percent goes to that the farmer would not use any pesticides now that amounts to ten percent of all this adds up to seventy percent but they must put on the cost of themselves you know not. ok i had gone with him and it was a very bad day he was going round and round about his mother was sick in bed with you can when he came in sat back there his wife was sleeping there. he didn't see what he did but he had soaked him selfe in petrol.

and we saw a very strong fire and then he came in fell here. and we were all here. but have has a mighty. good group of men he was burning in front of our eyes he burned very quickly the work is a good. deal my. dog we did everything we could to save him we took him to the hospital but he died two or three hours later. in the fog and. he would tell us he knew we told him not to take it too seriously we didn't imagine he'd do something like that he was worked up and sat thinking alone for hours we would tell him the hard days would pass that's what we tell him about that.

this story that we have suddenly become scandinavians and don't see the sunlight and therefore getting a prison of promise and in their lives it's amazing how hard put out to him an imagination can be when it wants to find excuses to not i understand that really it's a crisis the government's own data shows that the majority of farmers who have committed suicide we're deeply indebted ardita shools the majority of them will change it because bt cotton.

mostly sides of the two hundred thousand are in the cotton belt most of them have grown bt cancian the story of indian farmers is the story of how these beaches corporations have emerged as criminal corporations i often see if two hundred thousand people had been killed by a dictator we would have called into genocide. suicides in india are tragic phenomena and unfortunately have existed we had before the introduction of bt cotton in two thousand and two it was before the save the city indebtedness and so often other causes are inadequate infrastructure and education . for soil and so forth.

she will say nothing. of the she will say nothing about alone i always find him worry deep in the thought. of. she was always worked up his mind was working all the time. she was never happy she would pretend to be happy outside inside the house he seemed lost. i talked to him i told him god was just in us that's not warry we'll get through this i said but he said that was impossible because we had debts and knew harvest. how will belief. how do we raise our children now. all the tory team and she wouldn't talk much.

but. when. we were at school and the girls told me her father drank poison i couldn't understand what he drank and when it was. he will be believe me the seeds they give us that is the main cause of suicide they put annihilators inside. in the past any tree that gave seeds if we kept them and preserve them for the whole season and planted

a tree the next year it would grow just like the one before but it would be cool if we keep the seeds from this one nothing will grow and no one told the farmers this will go eventually the village learns that this person cannot produce anything. why then not even the loner will lend him money the bank won't lend him money to pay. it he gets depressed. the day comes when he will do something. and that is why our situation has become so tragic because of the seeds. but even if the farmers keep the seeds for the following year they risk being sued by the company the seeds are patent protected which means they are the intellectual property of monsanto. as strange as it sounds through this patent to

consolidate something that is alive as its own invention and has the right to exploited exclusively for twenty years. but if a farmer keeps some seeds to plant next year then he is accused of being a criminal. he will be fine with twenty five thousand rupees which is three hundred eighty euros we can the small farmers pay a twenty five thousand rupee fine. for we would keep our own seeds and use them the following year but if the farmer doesn't do that he'll have to go all the seeds each year. tell me is that fair on humanity certain followers have. entered into contracts with us stating that they will. use the sea for one season and then for some reason. the following season that violates the contract we had

with these farmers it is a very small number. and in most cases we look to sort out these differences out of court so when you apply a patent that you can't see the seed for the growing season you're massively increasing the cost of production for farmers massively. this is a we borrowed money from everyone to buy seeds we ran out of money. by that well yeah that's part of the my husband killed himself because of the debts with a neighbor well we couldn't say anything. medical she was depressed the dad was huge. now i don't know what to do my husband brought to mommy. nobody will lend money to woman is

a big assumption especially here. in this situation. and i feel so sad. a. little i'm. a. little bottle see polio did not have protection against war bullets. farmers had his very best science. scientists are going to go to scientists around the world were able to find a more sustainably we have to protect the plant against those put against that war one that was a technology called bt cotton which is inserted into the sea it's a product of the science in the seed. clearly an oligopoly who controls that food supply the seed supply and those

companies now are going to be on the paddling of a single crowd variety to say we can patent all plants and we can patent all crops with a single were claiming traits within those fridays and in those crops that are common to all of them. so we control everything we control the food system. even on the day make the seeds know that until today nature made the seeds did they create anything living they couldn't. grow as much in the seventy's there is no proprietary cedar planet whatsoever not really a day eighty two percent of the seeds sold are proprietary they're part of a patent if you will so that's an enormous change. genotyping engineered crops do not produce enough food but they tell the light that

the markets more great does not feed people at least not people hungry because a globalized clean then becomes a trade controlled by five agribusiness corporations who can pick the prices as they want and they want to speculate upwards they speculate upwards when they want to fix the prices downwards to capture markets they take the prices down let's and as the profits increase people stop. so they got what they need out of this they've got to control and frankly now because they have that control they don't need biotech anymore they've got the marketplace is to them they control the first link in the future. so they want. the word the was through on the we're

the way. water. possibly it's not traded now but it could be in the future perhaps sure. i don't know much about it because there is no market to buy and sell water maybe there will be in the future if i have a market where people who need water and a market of people who out of water can get together and through their own best interest discover and that's important or discover the price of that of that commodity i of how dare our governments. how can a government how can. a group of supposed intellectuals sit down and say this is the price of water everywhere around the world. will there be

circumstances where some people will not have water the yes. the that will happen that is the harsh reality of how markets function and the do you sometimes run out of soap yes whose fault is that probably yours because you didn't go to the store to buy any should you blame the government no. it's your fault.

question is that so much given to huge visitation rights and on the mark with the world clamoring for change around the globe people are protesting against governments and power in the self defined democratic west learn.
