roger the slow moving you please. look at. harper look at the headlines now here now to egypt to set south along the path to democracy here in our projections in september there are warnings islamic radicals links and groups that the muslim brotherhood could take routinely existing another . year after the explosion of the deepwater horizon rig spilled millions of gallons of oil into the company in mexico b.p. has fallen to lawsuits for damages for those whose health has been wrecked by the disaster still struggling to get the help desperately. russian police keep

a constant vigil to prevent terror attacks in a volatile move caucuses more than ninety minutes unskilled in recent months countries anti terror committees as the region remains the main hub for training extremists. are next to report the story of a family which highlights the battle of small farmers against giants science firms who are eager to get this all eating genetically modified meals. both control b.h.o. know what you control like no one can have that great input patterns a nature at night as long as my wife and i have way within us that we were always

fall down and fight for the rights of farmers always abusing the users the from year to year no one should take that right away from anyone. this is why the judge ruled number one if you are contaminated against your wishes by might satisfy those you will no longer own your seeds or plant space become the ownership of a corporation in this case months out. he also ruled we were not allowed. to use or seeds or plants again.

he also rules that all our profit from our ninety nine hundred eighty north crop close to my sample. in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven as a result of a simple discovery life changed dramatically for the seventy year old farmer a power line runs along the edge of percy schmeiser products as usual the power company had the surrounding vegetation controlled by applying the herbicide round up but in spite of this powerful chemical. plants continue to thrive among the wheat this can all it was sprayed with four times the normal rate that you would spree. roundup and yet it has not died so if they're very powerful. resistant and all looked around of sorts definitely monsanto's seed that is here we've created our real big frankenstein.

the pesticide roundup produced by the mostly national cancer and monsanto is the most widely sold spray in the world monsanto made its canola resistance around. this means round up kills every plant without exception only monsanto's genetically modified canola remains a life. it was introduced without really much testing being done and i think even at that time when it was introduced in the middle of the ninety's that the even the governments were taken in by what these corporations told what it would do like increase yields and less chemicals and more nutritious and i think the government even believed the cooperation. in ninety ninety six the chemical giant monsanto introduced its brand of canola into canada a brand for. systems of the pesticide round up in smoke this region free farmers

agree to plant monsanto's new g.m.o. canola. due to a heavy storm during the harvest freshly cut g.m.o. canola drifted into percy schmeiser is fields his work of fifty years of breeding was destroyed because his harvest was contaminated by monsanto sea. but on top of that monsanto turned him the victim into a culprit august nine hundred ninety eight smiter was sued by monsanto for having illegally planted the corporations paid into g.m.o. canola. he was to be forced by a court decision to pay damages in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars and all this for a canola seed he did not want in the first place. under the patent law is said to violate a patent you have to use the patent in my case i never use monsanto's patent i never sprayed their chemical round up on my fields so i never used their patent.

but percy schmeiser would not let himself be intimidated if filed a counter suit against the chemical corporation and grounds of environmental pollution see destruction and slander from that time on monsanto have the small wheat farmer spied on and pursued like a crumb. in summer ninety ninety nine the situation became even more menacing for days detectives with cars were in front of smiters driveway following him on to the fields and observing his every footstep. came out. and we found out afterwards vacating license numbers that they were people hired by monsanto and author monsanto representatives themselves they didn't even stop by the people they would even drive into our yard here and i don't know if it was just . a myth. haven't kennedy or white ever buy things or things that happened.

he did everything to bring the stone financially elementary and that's what they're doing is to mentally and financially great people. they are totally ruthless they have no ethics they have no morals it's the bottom line. and i had a trust fund to pay for some of my legal bills and some time ago i get a phone call from the manager of the bank saying they were going to close out that account and they wouldn't give me no explanation so i went to see the bank manager which was a baby and i asked her why do you want to close opus account you have to give me a reason even under the bank that you can just close somebodies account and she

wouldn't tell me what the reason roads and finally i said to her is it because of monsanto and she said yes. and i said why and she said monsanto went to the head office and said to the head office at the canadian payroll bank of commerce if you don't count percy schmeiser is he who trusts find out we will cancel all of our phones with a canadian in peer old bank of commerce across canada. in two thousand and one smiles or was boarded in his monsanto trial to be about four hundred thousand dollars in damages and costs the court to take for granted that smites is canola fields contained ninety five to ninety eight percent of months son joe's g.m.o. canola the judgement is a scam of twenty eight test results only for back such a figure the rest varies between sixty nine and zero percent with contradictions and different evaluations most samples were procured behind my suspect not one of

them was taken in his presence the decisive expert witnesses in court were either months into employees or paid by months on the judgment left people stunned worldwide today even canada's government admits that g.m.o. canola is everywhere. and what the trial judge ruled their first trial judge ruled is what made the case become internationally known overnight what can happen with farmers when you introduce. and the judge ruled this number one it does not matter how a farmer is contaminated and he went on to say cross-pollination we're calling flown in the wind by birds we all are by direct sea flown in to win by or farmers transportation if your contaminated against your wishes you go longer on your seeds or plants have become the ownership of monsanto under patent law for we

had about five hundred and fifty actors seated to rate c. in one thousand nine hundred eight he was. ruled because of the contamination all the profit from our crop in one thousand nine hundred eight goes to monsanto another important issue he mentioned he said it does not matter how much a farmer is contaminated if it's half percent one percent two percent it does not matter you no longer own your seeds or plants. after this decision percy schmeiser and his wife were very demoralized just like many farmers who had been following the case percy decided to appeal the ruling and took the case to the higher court but after two more years of legal battles and no three hundred photos and can each and dollars of legal expenses the judges again rule if you are contaminated with monsanto's genes you no longer own your seeds and

plants then we only had one avenue left and that was the supreme court of canada first of all we said to the supreme court that a farmer always should have a rake who uses seeds from year to year if on his own farm and the most had partnership to my wife and myself by that time was that no one no corporation no individual should ever have the right to put up act on higher life forms like a seed or plant. when i use the term higher life form i mean any lifeform whether it's a bird b. animal phage or even a human being. if

you have a patent on that gene get in doubt poland and i guess in your field you don't belong or own your seeds or plants so you could have one plant g.m.o. and all these could be regular organic but true they can claim all of your parts. because you don't know which one is g.m. or which is not. in one thousand nine hundred six when it was introduced farmers were told three main things had always be a bigger yield or it would be more nutritious and less chemicals and within three and four years we found out that the total opposite happened we're now using more

chemicals in ever before and more powerful and more toxic chemicals because it has become a super wheat the other issue is that the quality is much poorer and and more so now we have and then also poor eels and to give you an example of that he even the united state department of agriculture just a short time ago indicated that they yield on soybeans was down about fifteen percent with the introduction of q most. monsanto's technology contractor virtually turns the former into an accomplice of the agro chemical industry he has to buy new seeds every year with the technology surcharge and only then you see allowed to cultivate the see the natural right of every form of replanting as harvest seeds is waived my contract. i have a contract here for monsanto and i'll just give us some of the pauses in that contract. our farmer must always try his seeds from monsanto. you must only buy

the chemicals from monsanto he can never use is seeds and he must pay monsanto about forty dollars per license beyond each actor he owns each year he must permit from our town his police force to come on his way and for three years after the contract even though he may only grow moves one year and month sounders police could go in your grain reese they can go in your fields they can get your tax records your programming records with or without your permission and if a farmer commit some violation of the contract monsanto can take all its prospect or monsanto can make him destroy his scrotum and a palmer is not allowed to say anything to anybody about it. you know the multinationals with these contracts are exercising more power than any government would ever dare to do months saddle in your two thousand and three contracts have

another quires at it which states that a farmer can no longer sue wants or take months out of court or lay a lawsuit against monsanto the matter for what reason the it could be whether it's perceived or poor props they go longer consumers out almost takes their rates so we have a farm even taken months hundreds of courts or all or freedom of speech or expression is taken away total domination and control by a multinational over a farmer persuade stamping their primary into a home into the ground he has no longer any rights for and that's basically what the judge ruled in my case against our most honest case against me and not sound us patent is over enough though progress rates. and we hope that the supreme court will change that and give the rates back to the partners where they belong not to multinational corporations.

in all of north america there are hundreds of farmers under the same threat it's pretty smites are only a few of them have had the courage to come forward to talk about. the even runyan from indiana is one of the few that is standing up to months but even he took half a year before going public with his story and santa as investigators arrived on my farm it was price of a thirty at night pm they. did not identify themselves i really did not know who they were until about three days later. i was informed from a local feed mill where i have my seed cleaned every year after twenty years and they inform me that that's who they were that they were investigators for monsanto

and investigating me for patent infringement. all they really wanted to know the investigators was what kind of plant a savings i grow kind of weak though i grow kind of corn too i grow and the herbicides i use and also whom do i sell my products to they want to name and phone numbers. and that point i refused to cooperate and i ended the conversation. so anyone they investigate they will definitely find will have someplace a positive identification for genetic material.

and i worried after i found i was contaminated i worried i lost thirty pounds a year just or six or eight months just a timeframe we were going to be worried here i was going to be possibly drug into forming federal in a federal court never really been in a courtroom before and let alone go to federal court but now i'm not afraid of them i'm not scared of them and i know who i'm fighting and i know their tactics. i contacted an attorney i had to i knew that and i cannot fight them run myself monsanto's through they have a company and i don't have the money too. and i tried after i had seek counsel he advised me to put some signs up so i did put some signs up to keep people off and particularly them if i can i don't know i guess time will tell on that.

well most of the farmers they have that have relations with monsanto yes they are afraid of them and a lot of them have their settled and signed gag orders so they cannot speak about anything so you only find a handful of farmers out here that can actually talk about this i told no one i talked to no one until i found out whom turned me in and advised by my counsel i just didn't talk about it i probably didn't talk to anyone about it for six months .

and there. i had one of the person to go talk to that i knew had been through it already and fortunate i could prove to him that day that i was a farmer and i needed help and he helped me. and i'm thankful for him call him up yeah i'm in a field ok here's my location you come to me so i drove one hundred twenty miles just to talk to him and i was all the way up north in a state pen and i talked to him and he helped me out and then it wasn't quite as bad as i thought it would be but he helped me out a lot you nothing else just to say help settle my nerves. and he survived it and i come to conclusion that i can possibly survive it too.

also from indiana troy rush was wrongly accused of having reuse monsanto's g.m.o. seat without paying license fees much like gross he smiles or his family had to come up with four hundred thousand dollars in legal expenses and finally after several years of legal battles agreed to settle with munson so including a provision to keep silent about his case he is now advising farmers threatened by months santo like david runyan the first thing i advise a farmer who has non g.m.o. soybeans is you must have third party sampling and testing of your crop because monsoreau scoff calcify the results of your soybeans. the farmer actually most at risk and these situations is the farmer not growing the g.m.o. so you. because now he has to in fact prove his innocence that's the opposite of what people think you know our legal system does here in america innocent till proven guilty well maybe so in

a criminal situation i don't know but i can tell you when you're in a civil fight with a company like monsanto it is up to you to prove you did not in fact you with their accusing you of. a majority of farmers i speak with. they they don't have the financial wherewithal to fight these battles. a lot of them. you know i can recall one particular farmer i was working with you know he and they had to file bankruptcy and they could hire an attorney it's just terrible it's terrible when you've got this multinational corporation spending millions of dollars they can they can. prove whatever they want i often say that after my experience with the coarsest and lady justice holden those skills and balances and in the way the court system seems to work in america at least from simpson employees you power money on

the bounce and one who puts the most money on wins our core system is just that was that was a dismal experience and i'm just just appalled that that's allowed to go on in america. if a farmer felt his neighbor was growing genetically altered or a month or a monsanto's at roundup ready canola that they shouldn't inform underneath her they should wrap a suit squeal on your neighbor and we in return farmers tell me that if they did that they would get a leather jacket from my santo. if a farmer would squeal or rat on his neighbor and what monsanto would do is send out

one of these or two of these x. r.c.m.p. already captive so investigators whatever you want to call them and they would go to our farm home and this is what the farmers would tell me they would come into this farm home and say to the farmer so we have a tip or a rumor that you've been grown wrote a pretty can all up without a license and if you don't come clean we'll get you you won't have a parm left when we're through with you know with you and we know if you tell us that you're not your lion. farmers begin know not to trust one another because if you had a visit from an ex heresy m p or amounts and a representative the first person. you with think well it wasn't my neighbor it attorney and who is my dear that said this about me so it was destroying that social fabric and i think this is one of the worst things that could happen the

breakdown of our communities by this policy. they wanted to introduce when i see one or two i mean like monsanto in other countries wheat rice flax out how thought and no permission was given. and it can aged people and the farmers and the continuum are said we have seen the damage it has done to health environment more chemicals the poor crops we do not want any more new g.m.o. . i've heard not only in your country but also in my country and united states scientists say that some government people say we must be part of this new

technology. this new technology is crazy science it's unsafe science and it's not proven science. and if we've had in north america eleven twelve years of game modes how come we don't have lots of food at the dock hungry world. of corporations want total total control of the seed supply which will then give them overall control of the food supply that's what you most are all about not more. hungry world but control of the seed supply.
