a letter to president obama vowed to reform tax and five poverty while helping america's military during his annual state of the union address much of the focus in this serious speech was dedicated to the country's struggling economy and the pressing problem of inequality in body by the occupy movement obama also praised army advances abroad and the assassination of a sum of a lot in speeches regarded as a pre-election chance for obama to sell his campaign to the public school professor paul sheldon foote from california state university believes the address clearly demonstrates the policy priorities chosen by obama's administration. you know use that you are code for. we're going to have an enduring relationship. which means we're going to have bases in the country and stay there for ever whether they want to serve. likewise he said regional gadhafi syria's next day and if iran doesn't behave there there after that so. it is totally contradictory to

say that he's going to be able to pay down the american debt and mixed race and government spending programs domestically with savings from bringing in soldiers older mors what in fact he has plans to expand what he didn't mention try to find a me also said that we have a pacific strategy and the world will know that we are number one. that was a thinly veiled threat against china even i mean how insane can you be china's holding more than a trillion dollars of our debt we've got tens of thousands of factories there we're highly coordinated doing depended on them though and he's threatening them to. actually campaigning in russia it's when weapons that are on the front of the battle line now i do get three that are televised been looking at the cutting and tactics being used to win hearts and minds. doesn't want is that you were right is

that was that it was very 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 in vogue. today's campaigning has gone online in a hot new trend in russia. with program 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 as attention not so although that to me you are police video reach millions of lines it's not

a lot it just 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 porter became an overnight hit. doing his usual. i don't see what i see you stuck with something you just let it go to the good though you'll make. sure that the quickest work when you're going to do. but again there but it will just be them. but i don't confirm it's up to you about you apart from catching images memorable catch phrases are used against those in the corridors of power opposition blogger alex enough while me was the first upload his shop which is tongues online a year ago he labelled the ruling united russia party of the. and scoundrels the

insulting phrase and first appeared 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 of one vote for the party of thieves and scoundrels for ten years of economic growth with the party fees in scoundrels united russia. the mastermind behind that video and state duma deputy robert proved his party can also fight its worst online broke out super powers the use of being able to 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 guy what will happen to the caucasus nothing less just give it away to. you spawning

a war technically this video has made a very professional you can see that a highly paid suresh was did it all and it appeals to primitive responses but works one hundred percent first thought is that there is indeed no intro without put but videos from the opposition are just as. 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. hear from each future of government property or for your comfort or. naive to expect from any side when we are living in election year there are no holds barred in this war not even interfering in someone's private life sober but. a lack of privacy for today's politicians is already a modern day reality and with fifteen. million russians going on lunch today about

forty percent of the adult population. is predicted to be she deals with online political of the towers pushing the boundaries of a virtual world without borders exceeding the grant you have on our t.v. . well all candidates are busy storming the web those demanding a fair vote have got behind the wheel to protest hundreds of cars flying the color white as a symbol for free polar circling of center of moscow is the latest rally following the parliamentary elections in december are seen as come off as more. scores of drivers are taking part in this run across most going support affair lectures it's called the white ring and it's taking place on the gordon ring which is one of the main transport arteries of the city the rules are simple anyone could take water as long as they have a vehicle and fix any white object on to it be a white ribbon. or whatever this is a warning of

arrest hundreds. and most are now so proposals to stop web piracy sparked a massive protest in poland activists say their governments are supporting internet censorship not copyright protection. up next to modern david and goliath battle as we report on how our cultural giants are trying to eliminate old fashioned farmers . both control dangerous knowledge and control like no one should have that great input patterns a nature and right as long as my wife and i have to wait for then us we will always

fall down and fight for the rights of farmers always and beautiful to use their seed 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 by gates your wishes by much satisfy most you will no longer own your seeds or plants they become the ownership of a corporation in this case months out. he also ruled we were not allowed. to use our seeds were planted again. he also ruled that all our profit from our nine hundred ninety eight the north crop

goes to my temple. 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 is probably as usual the power company had the surrounding vegetation controlled by applying the herbicide roundup but in spite of this powerful chemical volunteer canola plants continue to thrive among the wheat this can all it was sprayed with four times their normal rate that you would spray. round up and yet it has not died so it's a very powerful. resistant canola to round up so it's definitely monsanto's seed that is here we've created our real big frankenstein.

the pesticide roundup produced by the multinational concern monsanto is the most widely sold spray in the world monsanto made its canola resistant to round up this means round up kills every plant without exception only monsanto's genetically modified canola remains alive. 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 even the governments were taken in by what these corporations told what it would do like increase heals and less chemicals and more nutritious and i think the government even believed the corporation. in ninety nine hundred six the chemical giant monsanto introduced its brand of canola into canada a brand for. system to the pesticide round in smokers region three farmers agreed 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 fields his work of fifty years of breeding was destroyed because his harvest was contaminated by monsanto seed. but on top of that monsanto turned him the victim into a culprit august nine hundred ninety eight schmeiser was sued by months on joe for having illegally planted the corporations paid into g.m.o. canola. he was to be forced by a court decision to bait 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 and never used 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 he filed

a counter suit against the chemical called brazen on grounds of environmental pollution see destruction and slander from that time on month sato had the small wheat farmer spied on and pursued like a criminal. in summer ninety nine hundred 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. and we found out afterwards by taking license numbers that they were people hired by monsanto and also monsanto representatives himself 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. have intimidation or whatever but these are things that happened.

he did everything to bring us down financially elementary and that's what they're doing is to mentally and financially break people they're just the are totally ruthless they have no ethics they have no morals it's the bottom line. and i had a trust fund to help 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 lady and i asked her why do you want to close out this account you have to give me a reason even under the bank act you can't just close somebodies account out and she wouldn't tell me what the reason was 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 of the canadian imperial bank of commerce if you don't. percy schmeiser is he who trust fund out we will cancel all of our phones with the canadian imperial bank of commerce across canada. in two thousand and one smiles or was ordered in his months on to a trial to be about four hundred thousand dollars in damages and costs the court to take it for granted that smites us canola fields contained ninety five to ninety eight percent of months santo's g.m.o. canola the judgement is a scandal 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 on to employees or paid by months on to 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 rule is what made the case become internationally known overnight what can happen with farmers when you introduce g.m.o. and the judge ruled there is number one it does not matter how a farmer is contaminated and he went on to say cross pollination with paul and flown then to win by birds or by direct sea flown and to win by or farmers transportation if your contaminated against your wishes you no longer own your seeds or plants have become the ownership of monsanto under patent law we had about five hundred and fifty hectors stated to rapeseed in one nine hundred

ninety 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 parliament 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 the no three hundred flows in canadian dollars of legal expenses the judges again ruled if you were contaminated with months sometimes 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 the right to use his 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 nor corporation no individual should ever have the right to put a patent 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 be an animal face or even a human being. if you have

a patent on that gene that's in doubt poland and i guess in your field you don't longer own your seeds or plants so you could have one plant g.m.o. and all these could be regular organic but true patent law they can claim all of your plants. because you don't know which one is g.m.o. 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 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 g.m. most. monsanto's technology contract 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 them is he allowed to cultivate the seek the natural right of every farmer to replant his harvest seeds is waived by contract. i have a contract here for monsanto and i'll just give you of some of the clauses in that contract. a farmer must always buy his seeds from monsanto. he must only

buy the chemicals from monsanto he can never use is seeds he must pay monsanto about forty dollars license fee on each hector he owns each year he must permit montana just police force to come on his way and for three years after the contract even though he may only grow jammu one year and month sounders police could go in your grain race 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 profit or monsanto can make him destroy his crop and the parmer is not allowed to say anything to anybody about it. no the multinationals with these contracts are exercising more power than any government would ever dare to do months saddle india or two thousand and three contracts have another cause added which states that

a farmer can no longer sue months or take months out go to court or lay a lawsuit against monsanto no matter for what reason it could be whether it's poor see poor crops they'd no longer consume us out almost takes her rights away have a farm even taken months and her to court so all her freedom of speech expression is taken away total domination and controlled by a multinational over a farmer because like stamping the primer into into the ground he has no longer any rights for it and that's basically what the judge ruled in my case against montana's case against me monsanto's patent law is over an oboe farmers rights. and we hope that the supreme court will change that and give the rights 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 as percy schmeiser only a few of them have had the courage to come foolish to talk about. david runyan from indiana is one of the few that is standing up to months on zero but even he took half a year before going public with his story on santa as investigators arrived on my farm it was price of one 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. and all they will i

want to know all the investigators was what kind of. grow a kind of wheat do i grow or what kind of corn do i grow and the herbicides i and also whom do i sell my products to they want to name and phone numbers. and at 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.
