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 i was worried i want 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 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 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 i 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 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 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. 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 couldn't hire an attorney it's just terrible it's terrible and 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 core system 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 that that's allowed to go on in america. i. if a farmer felt his neighbor was growing genetically altered or a month's have or 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 amounts and a 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 alpha 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 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.

government is supporting internet censorship not copyright but. hello and welcome to all she's weekly thanks for joining it's the arab league's observer mission in syria has halted its work citing concern over a rise in violence with over one hundred killed in the last few days and clashes still underway russia has criticised the decision to end what i've described as a useful initiative actually some effort has the latest from damascus for. a sense really from moscow that this decision to hold the mission was going to inflame an already very volatile situation and unfortunately as seems to be exactly what we've seen happening here now foreign minister sergei lavrov was speaking today on his tour of the age of pacific countries and he said that he didn't understand why such

a useful tool had been treated in this way we've seen the observer mission start and eventually grounds to hold they never really recovered after that decision last week for the goal stays when they withdrew their monitors now their decision they said was because they felt the mission had failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to end the violence and it was a surprising decision that's how the foreign minister described it because at exactly the same time that the gulf states made that decision the decision would also be made to extend the mission so just out of a very very crucial time with the situation in the country rather than making this mission stronger rather than trying to make it more effective if you have the goal states withdrawing them on it is now he said that that aroused questions we saw the meeting coming up on tuesday where the as the gaze of three presenting. findings essentially briefing the u.n. and most is maimed remains very very adamant that it's not going to back any plan

that's going to leave the door open to foreign military intervention in fact again their response to western cool's now that is said that it's impossible to hold dialogue with the regime here the foreign minister called very irresponsible and indeed unforgivable as i think there's a real sense that this arab league with the want to put unity ready to piss you the resolution to dialogue and to try and calm is extremely volatile situation it's shocking really to see how much the situation is escalating day by day when you've really seen this conflict creeping towards the capital people in damascus who weighed. not to the sound of gunfire fans i bet this arab league mission essentially has turned out to be a dance club and the little people has saying what was the point and having that manifest place if they were going to be made strengthened if they were going to try way too as was. always essentially were going to lead to un action anyway.

steve in london believes it's not a coincidence that the arab league prize its mission just as western powers up the calls for foreign involvement oh my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone in different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting war the observers were sent into syria you know they picked the wrong man to lead the mission because sudanese general. they thought they had the air manage your eyes who would deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going on who what a general do these terrorists are this cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one they want to create characters just step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of you to action the best solution is the west syria's civil it's all going to see and hear is a legitimate opposition in syria syria is that authoritarian state

a reporter in the london guardian reported we could do it go get a national poll that apparently go some credibility he said that of a jar really of syrians aside for america and britain and the arab league and there's to intervene in syria's and smears and to have an arrogant resolution saying and all the way to would be happy in two weeks well assad absolutely should in diplomatic way which told these people to to go. and also coping with unrest in egypt coming to the yeah safe uprising fine so tell me and why has hundreds of miles of running again be answered by how they were in the military jumped on its reluctance to step down. you know nuclear inspectors have started a three day mission to examine iran's atomic activities tehran says the talks with the international atomic energy agency the first in more than three years will

. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy optimists in oakland california began demonstrating in the streets and it was our first past the crowd grew stronger and stronger up to roughly twenty two thousand people strong culture milling what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to take over an empty 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 attention late the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades was the 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 came to occupy octopus but as guys we 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 struck in the head by a police tear gas canister 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 optimus. and the spy being creasing violence on the rise southlanders from the international action center tells us he the future of the occupy movement is still very bright. it's very much achieving

its goals in terms of waking up the youth in the us waking up working people in the us to the reality the reality that poor and working people are losing more and more and that one percent actually one thousands of one percent is gaining a norm of new wealth so that there are very successful in drawing attention to that despite a shutdown by the media and by the police and that movement is very determined to continue and to find new tactics. you know we've got much more coming up for you later in the program. for election agitation grips russia we take a look at how politicians are making a push for power and they turn it. well this week president obama vowed to reform tax and fight poverty while hailing america's

military during his annual state of the union speech much of that focus and i think this year's address was dedicated to the country's struggling economy and the pressing problem of inequality ordered by the occupy movement about also praised army advances abroad and the assassination of osama bin laden the speech is regarded as a pre-election chance for obama to sell his campaign for the public purse that poor child in a suit from california state university believes that clearly demonstrates the policy priorities chosen by as dallas administration. your use that you are. we're going to have an enduring relationship. which means we're going to have bases in the country and stood there for it whether they want to serve. likewise he said we jail gadhafi syria's next day and if iran doesn't behave there the after that so . it is totally contradictory to say that he's going to be able to pay down the

american debt in the extreme and government spending programs domestically with savings from bringing in soldiers older wars what in fact he has plans to expand while he didn't mention china played a me also said that we have a pacific strategy and the world will know that we are number one. and 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 do it in a tavern and week for pot and away so thousands of people protesting against the onto web piracy pocs their countries signed up to along with twenty one other european states actually saving multinational deal which still needs to be ratified by the european parliament and last chance to censor the internet and it's a wash as can reports now from. at first thousands across poland directed their

anger squarely at the notorious anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of punishing the site for publishing the. material it's somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister to six government under fire for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they are trying to maximize us with. the promise is that there would be a sudden closer touch to 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 active should be a good thing protecting intellectual property ranging from music to designer bags

but the global online community fears corporations will use it to police the web and take regular users offline for harmless internet behavior it certainly 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 act. out. groups and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not in every country so we have another. actor is still an option for many many countries it was too much for one french e.u. deputy he quit calling actor ash a raid then came the twitter twist the micro-blogging site saying it can now censor tweets country by country pride is active protests. in war so we're expected to

gather up to forty thousand people but a sudden big freeze kept many away nevertheless the intends to rally for several more weeks hoping to urge warsaw's ruling circles to take a step back to one other issue member states along with poland signed an actor but it's only here that the decision has caused so much control over sea and public dissent the document is yet to be ratified by the country spar laments which certainly leaves the possibility of more protests everywhere across the european continent let's. see reporting from poland. and as our correspondent mentioned the microblogging on twitter is no one should count of that and vote nor not i felt that on our website amanpour dot com including one suggestion that the move will ultimately by our own government. twitter is said to make it very clear that their users your government is censoring you and i think that will be

a huge step in pressuring both people the share of the stuff that was censored but also pressuring governments to change their policies or typical conversation with internet live if they can pay an irishwoman ask you to come and don't feel like. the internet's most famous and with ready to reveal even more on t.v. jennifer saunders is launching his own talk show here on our chief all the details on what. this week egyptians marked a good since the beginning of the country's uprising with hundreds of thousands flooding to have square the iconic baf place of the revolution polls have opened for the upper house of parliament weeks after islamist parties claimed an overwhelming majority in the house government is also tasked with developing the

country's constitution egyptians today are demanding the dissolution of the military council which heritage absolute power from deposed president hosni mubarak who is in control egyptian or will make a philip rivers believes change will be held to a minimum. i don't see it as being that big of a shift i mean we lived under military rule for thirty years and that gave the government the authority to do just about what they wanted to me it's just a formal matter and that they they lived emergency law while we live under the rule of a military drone to since the military took over general twenty eight's over fifteen thousand civilians that we know of have faced military courts and they have received trials of anywhere between six months to fifteen years and they've tasted power they have massive economic interests in the country again everything that's happened in egypt really needs to be looked at from an economic perspective in that there is a group of cronies of money and his government.
