now i worried after i found i was contaminated i worried i lost thirty pounds that year just over six or eight months just a timeframe we were going to be worried here i was going to be possibly drug into 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 after i've 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 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 d.m.o. seat without paying 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 on to 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. so it is. 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 they had to file bankruptcy and 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 of 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. if 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 flax alfalfa and no permission was given. and it can aged people and the farmers and it can to more 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 dmoz. 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 park that's what do you most are all about not more food to eat a hungry world but control of the seed supply.

thousands rally in poland and cyber attacks take main sites offline in. the country signing up to a secret piracy deal with fear it will strangle web users freedom. a cold faction the u.n. faces arab pressure to adopt a resolution on syria to push president assad from power. vying for votes online a new dynamic in russian politics videos on creative campaigning could prove pivotal in the forthcoming presidential election.

a very warm welcome to you from all of us here. on the research site. swelling anger in poland over the country signing up without. to a global and piracy pact with thousands marching in hackers taking down key websites critics say the deal is as bad if not worse than america's planned laws which were shelved when the web johns like wikipedia and google went on a protest blackout. to shift key is in warsaw where the fear is that big corporations now have the power to take individual internet users offline as a whip. since tuesday more than ten thousand people all in all have hit the streets a long. pole in cities across the country in warsaw and other cities in towns

protesting against this you don't. know the answer counterfeit trade agreement which was signed today by the people who are protesting they were holding banners down with the censorship and the internet believing that this agreement could in fact serious censorship on the internet and that many polish websites would be banned blocked they also had to say glued to their mouths symbolizing this way that their mouths will be shot by this new agreement and we also know of several very harsh hacker attacks on polish governmental websites including prime ministers website including the digital and cultural ministry's websites the attacks were as far as we know performed by the anonymous hacker group very well known in the hacker world and they also published a very stern statement in fact saying that they had very sensitive information about the authorities in poland and that they would definitely publish this

information if that act paper is signed so now it's signed we are waiting for more reactions from these protesters i'm told there are several more european states which are waiting to sign this document some experts in fact. expected that the european union would avert signing this document given all the criticism but now if there's no going back it has been signed the only stamp which is left this is they would have written this document by the country's parliaments and we are expecting that certainly will be ratified in poland given that the ruling party the party of the current prime minister is also ruling in the parliament has a majority and we there's a very slim chance that this document would not be ratified in the post parliament it would take effect and we could be expecting more protests the people who are protesting in the united states and here. in poland they share the same values the afraid that the internet would be censored that the websites would be blocked and in fact this whole situation here comes just several days after similar situations

in the united states with hacker attacks of the anonymous group on governmental websites with. major websites like we could be the end google partially obscured and blocking their websites in protest to the s.l. would be document we could be seeing the same situation here in the in europe the same which is happening in the united states. reporting right there let's turn our attention out of out of syria where government forces are reportedly assaulting the city of hama dozens of people allegedly killed across the country over just the past twenty four hours or the un security council is expected to vote over the next few days on a resolution aimed at stemming the escalating conflict the draft calls on the syrian regime to comply with an arab league proposal which would see president assad cede power paving the way for a coalition government with the opposition it comes as the arab league's crucial monitoring mission to syria suffered a setback after six countries pulled out calling on the un to act russia has made

it clear that it will veto any security council resolution that would allow foreign military intervention an estimated seven and a half thousand people have been killed since the unrest began ten months ago including civilians rebels and government forces sara first has the latest now from damascus feel. saying their good bye and heading home they've said it's from the gulf states leave the airport then mission incomplete leaving behind a country in a deepening crisis is never going to be easy they want the arab league monitors to stay. i don't want them right from the word go the missions prefer problematic the opposition accuse the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government the government's now accused of being part of a foreign conspiracy and they will it just tickle complains to the observers seemed

ill equipped on the ground and there were concerns that they were simply too few numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers after damascus rejected their recent proposal that included president assad cede power to a deputy and form a unity government was interesting that this conference is very interested in democracy and they have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something pani will talk about about what you will have a new constitution we are going to more democratic country multi parties was about what about to do about the west's talk about syria which would be changed and leave saudi arabia as it has damascus says rejection was no surprise both sides of the conflict of shame equal unwillingness to soften their stance even when the

daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the road to damascus yet another remind the spiraling situation. of the observers at such a crucial maybe into the country's quite serious is seen as controversial the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab. st what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish is good enough everything is concrete everything about human rights abuses on the part of the are so very keen to then take to the un and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china would feel compelled to work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors thing to know more about what's going on the ground and they think. at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one as the death toll rises the proposal being floated to increase the number of observers on

the ground and provide them with u.n. training could be a life saving word but for now those plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that graded pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's rule waving goodbye to that gulf state colleagues some observers remain but it's small consolation syria didn't close the doors in for the arab league i think. it's diplomacy will give anyone to help the syrian but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people not in the hands not our bleakness could cancel so national dialogue through these reforms despite damascus and the mission to be extended for another month and the observers officially saying that they can continue with the task behind the scenes and the sentiment is much less optimistic. it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreement on

what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis seem to be slipping further and further as a rate so r.t. damascus syria part is coming to you live from the heart of moscow and still ahead for you in the program we are in the powerbrokers playground in switzerland to see whether davos falls on deaf ears. going to apologize having some technical glitches there quite obviously for what it's the online election a battle cry to where nothing is off limits as russia's presidential campaign a hot stop political activists are moving away from traditional tactics embracing the internet whether promoting ideas or spreading fear as web campaigning is becoming a bigger part than ever before are to use your different retrovirus the story but where does the one is that you've got the right is that one's other race suits and

ties and slogans called out from the poor d m r the traditional election season fair but they're no longer considered politically. today's campaigning has gone on line in a whole new trend in russia. with programs and bloggers making fun of the opposition portraying them in prayer outside the u.s. embassy on sundays claiming they are connected to the us state department and the opposition filming funny cartoons about politicians made out of lego. getting information out there is becoming easier all the time but the internet is a very different medium to television while on t.v. it's enough to just look into the camera like this to show you is attention not so on the net to me you are police video reach millions of lines it's not just the

mass it also has to be provoked to brazen and sometimes project a whole different image. it's no surprise then that as a character from harry potter became an overnight. it's an industry doing the symbol. of i don't see what i see you stuck with something that got it but they're going to. make. sure that the work you're going to do. propaganda but it will just be them so that they do but don't confuse a pua but apart from catching images memorable catchphrases are used against those in the corridors of power opposition blogger alex enough while me was the first upload his shot which is tongues online a year ago he labeled the ruling united russia party the leaves and scoundrels insulting was brazen first and hear it on the net but quickly migrated to almost

every magical media in russia and beyond a year after party won in the parliamentary elections and reworked the catchphrase felicity's a vote for the party of thieves and scoundrels just for ten years of economic growth but the party fees and scoundrels united russia. the mastermind behind that radio and state duma deputy robert proved his party can also fight its wars online broke out super powers to use opinion with my aim was to provoke supreme reality darker than that is often i don't agree with such statements in my videos but they do work. in that russia without putin would rise why not give away your country your beautiful girlfriend to some foreign guys what will happen to the caucasus nothing less just give it away to you responding or technical this video has made a very professional you can see that a highly paid survey shows did it appeals to primitive responses but works one

hundred percent first thought is that there is indeed no intro with output but it is from the opposition are just. an adequate trend of this election season eavesdropping on politicians and posting recordings online or those taking part in a massive opposition rally in december were surprised to find out that one of their inspirations boris himself described them in a phone as. their. here from each other a problem of property for your property or to comfort your guts naive to expect from any side when we are living in election year there are no holds barred in this war you're not even interfering in someone's private life. a lack of privacy for today's politicians is already a modern day reality and with fifteen million russians going online today about forty percent of the adult population if she's the future is predicted to be should

now quarter past the hour here in moscow it is day two of us as political and political those who political and business power brokers of the world economic forum are they look to restore confidence to the economy and to capitalism itself but for some the current downturn isn't the fault of the system while others argue that radical reform is urgently needed artie's lauren lyster is in davos for us. so far we've heard a lot of debate about capitalism and just various sessions of it which is a lot of talking but not necessarily solutions being put forward yet one thing interesting today although this is the world economic forum politics is on the agenda and a number of world leaders heads of state europe rats are here today some of that attention turns to the arab spring people here at the forum try to weigh the

economic implications are reports are coming that investors it davos are stumped over the arab spring and what that means for investment in countries like egypt that have seen their borrowing costs or and you still see protests on the street as we've seen a year after that uprising so for the business community the investment community that is really looking for merkel pledged more money they certainly didn't get what they wanted pledged instead that that the solution a euro zone leaders have to have come to that she's kind of led the charge on for fiscal integration and structural reforms that is what she can offer at this point along with a plea for more patience so not sure that that's what investors want to hear that wanted more bailout money pledged the irony of course is that in a year where we've seen occupy movements really grow and really take a major news they've made it onto the agenda the world economic forum and a number of participants are talking about inequality yet the occupy protesters that are here are by no means invited they're not having their voices heard within

the forum there instead relegated of course to outside where you would typically expect activists to be limited to what he's learned to reporting the russian of representatives up before him in davos so they're also something that let's cross over to also tell you are the business the moral. that's right and in the business bulletin last year emerging markets saw the biggest capital outflow since two thousand and eight and russia of course was no exception but speaking. dabbles the head of the country's direct investment fund told business r.t. that negative trend could reverse starting in april why find out in ten minutes. are we seeing that. coming your way this hour food for thought why america's corn production is fueling the fire of debate over whether it ends up on people's plates or at the pumps to help power the nation's cars.
