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 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. 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 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 a 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 settle 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 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 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. 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 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 monsanto. 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 dmoz. i have 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 posts apart that's what do you most are all about not more food to eat a hungry world but control of the seed supply.

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are old today.

this week's top stories on our do you believe the beleaguered mission an arab nation called their observers working in syria over reports of an upsurge in violence a massacre said that could make things worse. come from iran and u.n. nuclear inspectors resume amid international tension iran is considering something proof applies to the e.u. within days as a response to sanctions. also u.s. anti-corporate protest fuel the full force of the law you know when we get the bombs are resorting to your gas and watch for night to disperse demonstrators and arrest hundreds. and multi-national proposals stop where piracy spark mass protests in poland activists say their government is supporting internet

censorship not copyright protection. there are guards who live from moscow or six pm and it's now with our weekly program this sunday the arab league's observer mission in syria has halted its work saying it's concerned over was reports of a spike in violence more than a hundred people are thought to have been killed in fighting between security forces and rebel groups in the last few days alone well damascus condemned the decision saying it could actually result in more bloodshed and foreign military intervention. at the u.n. security council resolution on syria is under consideration russia rejected the latest draft put forward by e.u. and arab states calling for regime change in the country and allowing further action if the math can't doesn't comply political analyst stephen lyman believes

it's not a coincidence that the arab league pro the commission to authorize western powers up a call for foreign involvement oh my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone to different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting war the observers were sent into syria they picked the wrong man to lead the mission the sudanese general the they thought they had the air manage your eyes who would deliver the goods against a side believing him for everything going oh i'm cool what a general we do he said assad is cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one they wanted a pretext to step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of new day the best solution is the way syria's civil it's all going to see and hear is a legitimate opposition in syria syria is that authoritarian state recorder in the

one that got yet reported we could do it go get a national poll that apparently go some credibility he said good of a jury of syrians back aside for america and britain and the arab league and there's to intervene in syria's seniors and to have an arrogant resolution saying and all the way to it yet even to weeks well assad absolutely should in diplomatic way which tell these people to to go. well around one hundred observers are still in syria awaiting further instructions but gulf nations are not taking part they withdrew their monitors saying the mission had failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to end violence but it's our first reports weakening the fact finding team these syrians on the ground preparing for the worst. saying they'll get by and heading home they've said it's from the gulf states leave the airport then mission in complete 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 prove problematic the opposition accused the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government the government's now accused of being part of a foreign conspiracy and they were just tickled complaints to the observer seem to 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 to have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something

pani will talk about about syria what will have a new constitution we are going to more democratic country multi-party system but what about to do about the west come up talk about syria which would be true changed and leave saudi arabia as it has damascus is rejection was no surprise both sides of the conflict of shame equal unwillingness to soften their stance even though it's meant 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 creature of a bid to the country's crisis 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 easy to then take to the un. 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 things and i know more about what's going on the ground than they did. 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 water but for now these 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 good bye 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 would 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 come so 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 very. artsy damascus syria. well also coping with unrest in egypt coming up a year after its uprising its back to cockers where as hundreds of thousands rally against the absolute power of building military drones and its reluctance to step down. but first u.n. nuclear inspectors have started a three day mission to examine iran's atomic activities tehran says it's certain the talks the first in more than three years will prove its programs purpose is purely peaceful but the i.a.e.a. visit comes at

a time when tensions between iran and the west are approaching crisis level on monday you nations adopted an unprecedented set of sanctions against the atomic republic which include a complete embargo on oil supplies from iran that's meant to come into force in july but iran is considering an immediate halt of oil sales to europe in retaliation well let's discuss this latest development around the uranium crisis author michael winter who joins us live via broadband from boston thanks for being with us mr winter that you adopted its embargo on the radio and oil despite knowing u.n. nuclear inspectors were to visit tehran in just a week's time why do you think they rushed to take such drastic measures instead of waiting to see how the i.a.e.a. emission actually went well and sought them out the u.s. you think we need to remember the difference between basically in their initials both bodies march to the same tune and i think they're issued by the same global

banking cartel. three nonproliferation treaties of been signed by iran and they're been zero absolutely zero and braxton's reported today countless inspections but i have taken place and not one inspection is yielded the results of us this week which is mainly a reason to invade and or bomb iran by finding evidence that they are seeking to produce nuclear weapons i believe the us is turning up the heat because they see the game is slipping away these embargoes are designed to do several things one is the purple around economically and thereby open the iranian people feel the pain and will freedom journal strike within iran resulting in a national disunity this is standard operating procedure for the us to create strife and this harmony in a country they are seeking regime change in a divided house is always easier to conquer than one which the have an answer on solidarity i think the more pressure is placed on iran be embargoes and sanctions the greater chances the us the militias have of carrying out the plans but

ultimately are designed to create a change in iran's leadership regime. change policy wise against iran since the very early eighty's after the seventy nine revolution of iran succeed in playing in succeeding a plan to bypass the petrodollar and deal in sovereign currencies in gold as they meant for their oil the back of the be broken and that is the truth for the rest of the us to deal with i think the sole issue around quest for end of this fiction i think it's just a smokescreen to deflect from the real issue of the u.s. losing that's all i reserve dollars status. do you think that the tar sanctions on the harsh rhetoric that we're seeing could eventually backfire on the west absolutely i mean a. given in mind that. retaining investor dollars the primary goal of the u.s. or sneeze sanctions what's going to happen is exactly what is happening now iran is

gone to russia china india south korea and there bypassing the federal dollars by forcing the sanctions they're putting a ram into a corner where they have no options but to go and deal in currencies other zammit fessor dollars so they're really creating their own demise in the situation let's talk about iran's response to the e.u. oil embargo it's preparing to stop all supplies to europe within days and not wait until the summer for that ban to actually come into full of fact what is tehran hoping to achieve with that move. well i think if we were dealing with honest people possess integrity then i don't think anything new of the brown as in the detected and numerous inspections that have already been performed over the years the sad fact is that we're not dealing with honest people when it comes to the to the us and the e.u. and he says the best of our loses of standing in the us and through them the e.u.

is now in a position where i think they will create the evidence they need or they may even perform an outright fabrication in order to justify their aggressive program the former head of the i.a.e.a. stated repeatedly in reports of no weapons research was being conducted this did not support the rhetoric of the us this new chief is more in line with us same since the november report from them stating the capability exists for three a twenty percent enriched uranium which can be used to weapons grade materials i would compare this to the policeman stopping a car and searching for drugs they don't find the drugs you're looking for they simply produce some that they have on the first and implant on them. i would expect that possibly some new undiscovered evidence is found that supports the u.s. position an assertion that iran is indeed seeking to build a nuclear device michael winter talking to us live from boston via broadband thank you very much for your analysis on the iranian nuclear issue. but we're

keeping a close eye on bad boy and nuclear saga with iran on air and online for you head to our website r.t. dot com for more analysis and updates on the latest developments. well a u.s. occupy movement protests once again turned violent in oakland california police fired tear gas and bean bag rounds of some two thousand demonstrators several hundred were arrested as they attempted to occupy a vacant convention center before storming into city hall marches were an important has more. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy optimists in oakland california began demonstrating in the streets and it was hours past the crowd grew stronger and stronger up to crosley twenty two

thousand people strong old timidly what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to take over and abandoned building where they wanted to create their new headquarters because as our viewers may remember crossed the country in the united states just a few months ago police departments are removed activists from their camps and this was an attempt for oakland optimist to set up a new headquarters but as the crowd grew stronger and larger and then chile the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades i v occupy atlanta this morning to the police they say members of the crowd began throwing things at times at the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between police officers and occupy optimist but as guys you know this is not the first time we've

seen a fierce clash between officers and activists in oakland california got in october there was a least three hundred people arrested and a former u.s. marine by the name scott olsen was left in critical condition with a head injury from being star struck in the head by a police tear gas can canister and this is something odd that put a lot of criticism on the police department in oakland california they've been criticized for being very harsh with occupy out. well those occupy protests in america come against the background of the race for the white house military my or coping with the crisis find out what president obama administration is putting top of it to do that are expert evaluate the leader's state of the union speech. pre-election. we'll take a look at how power sessions are making

a push for power on the internet. but first it's been a turbulent week for poland which saw thousands of people protesting against the anti web piracy pact their countries signed up to along with twenty one other european states activists say the multinational deal with still needs to be ratified by the european parliament allows firms to censor the internet like they are says he reports from warsaw. at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of funding. for publishing the it's a trademark material it's somehow illogical to me it's like let's say punishing the corporation of the for this is knife for. being used to kill somebody but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister government on the fire for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they're trying to

maximize us with. the promise is that. the documents. that we have. the right for our own interpretation of the can but that's not possible knows a lot from our government technically act it should be a good thing protecting intellectual property ranging from music to design your bags but the global online community fears corporations will use it to police the web and take regular uses offline for harmless internet behavior it's surgeon. he has a striking resemblance to the much debated sopa bill in the united states which sent even online giants like google and wikipedia to take direct action but the law was only meant to work locally across the atlantic while act would be applied more globally they are not. racial groups and and.
