now i worried after i found out i was contaminated i worried i lost thirty pounds a year just over six or eight months just a timeframe i was worried about when to be worried here i was going to be possibly drug in a foreign 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 because i cannot fight them by myself monsanto is too big of a company and i don't have the money to and i tried to 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. just i had one of the person to go talk to that i knew had been through it already and fortunate i can prove to him that day that i was a farmer and i needed his help and he helped me. and i'm thankful for him call him up yeah i'm in the 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 if 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 months santo's g.m.o. seat without paying the license fees much like percy schmeiser 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 monsanto including a provision to keep silent about his case he is now advising farmers threatened by months until 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 monsanto's can falsify the results of your soybeans. the farmer actually most at risk in these situations is the farmer not growing the g.m.o. soybean. 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 do what they're accusing you of. the 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 they couldn't hire an attorney it's just terrible it's terrible and then 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 the skills and balances and in the way the court system seems to work in america at least from a simpson point is you power money on the balance and in the one who puts the most money on once our core system is just that was that was a dismal experience and i'm just just appalled but that's allowed to go on in america. i. have a farmer felt his neighbor was grown genetically altered or a month's have monsanto's hit roundup ready canola that they should inform underneath 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 what santo. if

a farmer would squeal a rat on his neighbor what monsanto would do is send out one of these or two of the sex r.c.m.p. or detective serino best to gators whatever you want to call them and they would go to a 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 growing wrote up ready canola without a license. and if you don't come clean we'll get you you won't have a farm 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 r.c.m.p. or a mount santa representative the first person he would think well it wasn't my neighbor that turned me in or was my neighbor 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 wanted to i mean like monsanto another company's wheat rice flocks alfalfa and no permission was given. and it can aged people and the farmers and the contumely are said we have seen the damage it has done to health environment mark chemicals with the park props we do not want any more new homes. i've heard not only in your country but also in my country and united states

scientists say and 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 now that the done hungry world. of corporations want total total control of the seed supply which will then give them total control of the food supply that's what do you most are all about not more food to eat a hungry world but control of the seed supply.

the world's top whistle blower is to get others to spill the beans on t.v. . his own interview show stand by where to what. president obama kicks off his campaign to stay in the white house using the state of the union address to saving the economy and creating jobs. back on terrorists where tens of thousands of egyptians gather to mark a year since the uprising but it. along with celebration because of driving reform .

global news twenty four seven this is live from moscow on real research showing he exposed some of the world's darkest secrets so you'll get a chance to find out even more when the world famous whistle blower launches a talk show right here on our c joining us on his exclusive series will premiere here in march and the world's media is already abuzz about who the wiki leaks founder will interview our london correspondent laura smith has the details on the story. basically we knew that as and wanted to wanted to write and host his own interview show and we made it happen the show is going to be broadcast on t.v. it's going to focus of course on us ologies favorite topic control to see two thousand and eleven was a solid as his name became one of the most famous in the world and indeed it became

a byword for for explosive control to see when he released the biggest ever set of us the documents by his web site wiki leaks he's going to be interviewing a series of what he called iconoclasts visionaries and power insider that he's going to talk about how to shape the vision of a brighter and better tomorrow that as i say is going to be focused on r.t. and we are hoping that it will be as explosive as the release of those documents was via wiki leaks we can't see any reason why it wouldn't be hundreds of articles from all around the world local newspapers international newspapers everybody seems to be talking about this because the twist is there is a light switch with rumors about the show relation about who might be interviewed by julian ourselves and of course he is a massive name but that's not the only reason why this will be fascinating it's

going to be filmed where a song has been subject to strict bail conditions things like signing in to the police station every day being essentially under house arrest under the spell conditions for the last four hundred fourteen days even though no charges have been filed the first episode is also going to be shot a week before his supremes court tearing to fight against his actual decision to sweden for questioning on alleged sexual assault charges so as i say no use of rumors about what's going to go on he says going to be a new type of television of course he's no stranger to being on the other side of the interview is table i've interviewed him myself but if you want to find out exactly what's going on you're going to have to stay here on r.t. while it's a sealed stay for all the details and the guests we can't reveal at the moment that's all the secret but we will be having exclusive trailers and previews here on r.t. so watch this space. correspondent laura smith right there well an r.t. news executive nicholai a book which describes how the network signed up julian assigned in britain they

were quite interesting discussions we said in our office after christmas sharing ideas about the show's possibilities and obviously it would be and it channels real right now to get our son but i think it's quite natural that his show will be on r.t. r t always tries to go beyond that to see other sides of any news story and sure the real reason behind the news that you would see on mainstream channels when we talk. was very calm and relaxed which you wouldn't expect of course from someone who's been under house arrest for more than four hundred days he was very full of ideas and some of them were born as we talked so i think this will be a very hard hitting show and over to you now to tell us what topics you would like to see julian tackle an expose on his new t.v. series on our see from march bringing out the numbers here the votes from our two dot com this hour just over a third believe that he should focus on who really rules the mainstream media

twenty nine percent think this is serious we should focus on the nato war machine agenda how about the same number would like to see julian expose how banks rule the world finally eleven percent want him to expose who can control the internet do you tell us what you want to see make your choice now at our c dot com. millions of new jobs manufacturing back on track war in iraq over bin laden gone barack obama has set out his stall for reelection and using the annual state of the union address to do it but it's not easy guy nature can reports from washington the upbeat tone doesn't quite reflect reality. his goal was to highlight his achievements and lay out new promises as far as the message policies he speech was full of heartfelt success stories about the economy and jobs creation but there is a lot of skepticism among americans social inequality in america is now at

a level unseen since the great depression the top one percent of the wealthiest in the country are making a killing while the middle class is shrinking dramatically and that gap is getting wider american jobs are being outsourced to other countries president obama's state of the union speech sounded motivational full of good intentions but the fact that almost all his major economic initiatives got bogged down in congress like the jobs act that he put forward last year is giving a sense to many that he might be saying all the right words but they may not be necessarily followed by demons on the foreign policy front he ran on promises to end wars but while he pulled troops out of iraq and started winding down the war in afghanistan with a pledge to bring all troops home by two thousand and fourteen america's wars didn't stop president obama bombed levy last year to the tune of bringing about democracy also the u.s. may now be on the verge of an all out confrontation with iran and in the speech he

once again said all options are on the table washington is now actively building up its military presence in the persian gulf region new u.s. drone bases are popping up in the arabian peninsula so we see that while president obama went through with the promises to scale back on iraq and afghanistan he's been actively building up a platform for possibly new wars president obama certainly prize in cell phone his role in killing osama bin laden and a number of other terrorists but the means by which the u.s. is going about the task of chasing down terrorists raises a lot of red flags so some experts argue that what washington is doing is fighting terror and provoking terror at the same time but in president obama's presentation everything sounds just great on the war on terror front. that is going to if you can report it right there will still to come for you in the program here keeping the business world's top here taking over the world's economic elite set out to tackle the eurozone recession and make some profit all along the way and while

those worst hit by financial troubles find themselves locked out. thousands of egyptians are in cairo's now iconic to rear square to mark a year since the uprising that toppled president mubarak but there's another reason it's a landmark day as almost thirty years of emergency rule is partially lifted although some police powers will stay in place in eastern hour he was in cairo to see the anger is causing concerns about are allowing the post revolution celebrations to go too far. and that's exactly what activists are warning and asking these protesters not to do not to let this turn into a celebration because according to them there's a whole lot of work that still needs to be done a year after the revolution began right here on top here i think it's fair to say just to give you a closer look tens of thousands of people have gathered we're hearing that hundreds of thousands more are making their way to talk where we're seeing in twitter and facebook as people saying that's it it's official this is bigger than the twenty

eighth which was just to remind you the biggest day of protests was last year the twenty fifth is when it all began of course and people sat in on top here basically not leaving for eighteen days until hosni mubarak finally stepped down but the people here it's certainly clear this time there's still a lot of anger a lot of frustration and you can hear it in their slogans this time they're chanting about the army about the field-marshal tonto way so they've basically took mubarak out of that equation and now he's with these officials that are leading the country they say they're making concessions but according to these people there's a lot more work to be done and in fact my colleague reify notion has been talking to people and taking a closer look at why the revolution lives on. a year off to its historic revolution egypt response from calm protests have become a part of everyday life and no longer an event one of the revolutionists most significant achievements. we could never believe we would come out and speak out

like this there are several reasons for egypt's people to take out to the streets following the uprising that ousted mubarak last february the country's economy is struggling unemployment is at its highest in decades and while the new the imac tent islam is dominated parliament debates the country's future resentment grows against miter root and the feeling they hijacked the revolution is a business and we want them to do what the military should do to protect its citizens and the country. well it nowhere really that you want to be sure that there will not destroy our of lucian's achievements they've betrayed us. the military dominated egypt's politics since the fall of the monarchy sixty years ago some skeptics say the twenty eleven revolution did little to change this trend when mubarak toppled down people welcomed the supreme council of the armed forces to

lead the transition but the initial euphoria began to fade when the military council was still in place six months later after one bloody crackdown on peaceful protesters after another claiming at least eighty lives since october there isn't any doubt left here scuff should go for he says not a contest is a good louder but here's a growing list go out of the main living area. and his cars are scary cuz aboon arabic or army lawyers campaign they work to reveal the army's wrongdoings between our female activists attacking field hospitals and conspiracy theories under the military council twelve thousand people have been brought to military trials that against less than two thousand in mubarak's thirty years i believe that there. i believe that we don't want them anywhere here in this chair that's what i believe in the words and that's what most of what all i know believe and the work whatever

scott claim it to leave when the new president is elected in june but if you believe the promises that once were broken so easily some also fear that the generals may stay on behind the scenes reluctance to relinquish the power they've had for decades with protests pushing them to leave though one thing is clear the fight is not yet over. r.t. cairo. and i do head over to r.t. dot com for the latest from egypt as well as a thoughts on what the revolution has really brought here's what else we've got lined up for you on our web site right now for example the u.s. is tightening the noose around that freedom but a former spy. chief is coming clean about cyber snooping and even digital attacks on other countries. and big business it gets one over on the politicians as iran's sanctions do little to stop western oil giants still trading with to run those

details of our party's going to come. but as the world's business top brass descends on switzerland some of the so-called one percent are saying that capitalism is widening the pit of inequality but the economic elite from around forty nations at the davos economic forum are out to save the financial system stem of the crisis and of course seal a few lucrative deals along the way he's laura lister is at the ski resort for us where she also met a few who are locked out of the talks. it's certainly on the agenda talk of remodelling capitalism debate about capitalism and they can talk all they want though you have to wonder how serious people are about that discussion when many of the corporations that are present here are those that have benefited from this this type of capitalism so although klaus schwab the founder of the world economic forum has said that capitalism in its current form has no place in the world around us these are the corporations and banks that are represented here many of which have

benefited from government bailouts in the case of banks from central bank easy money policies in the case case of many banks and corporations so whether or not these are the right people to be having that conversation to be talking about reform i'm not quite sure you also have to remember that while the official genet agenda yes deals with capitalism the unofficial agenda of davos is very much about making corporate deals and that might in fact from the official agenda as you can probably recall some corporations here shell out up to three hundred thousand dollars for a membership to the world economic forum in order to be here they're shelling out that kind of money presumably for more than to talk about capitalism there have been reports in the past every year of the deals that go on the networking of this some sixteen hundred business leaders including a thousand executives they're here at davos some of these sessions dealing with remodeling capitalism specifically talk about the occupy movement is identifying some of these problems with capitalism that they're supposed to be talking about

here at this forum bailouts inequality those being some of the issues however none of the occupy activists have been invited they're building igloos not too far from where the davos forum is taking place they're very much highlighting this occupy movement that is swept the globe klaus schwab was asked about that he said it's hard to identify a leader that was his excuse we're not likely to see them here unless of course mr schwab himself goes down to those igloos and maybe recruits a few so that we do hear those voices inside the fore. artie's lauren lyster reporting there from davos russia's president says he's willing to meet with opposition members including representatives of those who protested against what they called the unfair parliamentary vote dmitri medvedev also promised that an exciting political season will follow the upcoming presidential elections are he's now has more on this from central moscow. one of the main points that president medvedev made today was that it's well he really isn't done with politics just yet

no of course he will step down in the role of president but he has said he hinted that perhaps he could appear on the ballot paper again going to see me office now. that to me a putin has said should he be elected as president in march his elections then he will make to me to get if his prime minister something which may get if they accept it though it did as has said that no matter what happens in the elections in march he will remain in politics now he also said that he was willing to meet with the leadership of the opposition leadership and leaders behind protests which took place following the pala men tree elections we saw in december here in russia now he said he wasn't willing to meet with individual protesters but that organizes those people behind the protests that he was willing to sit down with them and discuss their grievances though this was an address by the president to a group of journalism students at

a moscow university plenty things that were being discussed one of them was the case of mikhail khodorkovsky the president saying that the holocaust the case shouldn't become a political football that shouldn't be politicized and also dismissed rumors they've been circulating that last summer he had planned to release the jail tycoon he said there was no truth in that whatsoever. journalism students that he was speaking to and the subject of journalism and the media did crop up person image did of saying that there was too many state owned television stations in russia and that they really need to cut down the number of those perhaps only having worn as the mouthpiece of the government and to have more private television companies and more private news stations in the country. now it is pretty relevant reporting from the current president to someone who wants to be the next one of russia's richest men to help profit off has become the fifth registered candidate in the upcoming presidential.
