Monsanto Controls both the White House and the US Congress

No Matter Who Wins the Presidential Election Monsanto Benefits

Whoever gets in,  Monsanto’s interests will be served.


















  1. “Why Is A Former Monsanto Vice President Running the FDA?”
    Because this is how it works in Washington.
    Only an idiot – or an American – can’t see nor grasp this.

  2. THIS is the epitome of the problem with having a Corporate Government…..The revolving door of politics/government positions. As Government employees and/or politicians and Corporate leaders end the terms of duties, they have free range to occupy positions in all sectors of the current system usually determined by the level of donations to political figures or offices if in the Corporate sector and compliance with lobby desires in the political arena. These people are free to move into whatever position will better serve the Corporate establishment of government.

  3. This guy will assist the one tiny group who has taken upon themselves the job of killing off most of the others in the population so humans can’t soil their planet anymore than is required for the remaining slaves to be able to service the masters.But they need to kill slowly so the dying leave empty.

  4. I really have no idea but wanted to put this thought out: Maybe he is working within the system as an earnest person trying to influence a complex relationship with his expertise seeing both sides for years? Naaaaahhhh. Evil corporate scumbag by default, right? Maybe the “flip” and “flop” are actually beneficial experiences to helping solve extremely complex issues?

  5. I took a look at Michael Taylor – his picture and his C.V. which accented his previous positions held at FDA over a period of time and his admittedly strong academic credentials qualifying him for the NEWLY CREATED position. FDA Deputy Commissioner of Food and Veterinary Medicine position was created and filled by the Obama administration..
    What was definitely de-emphasized in the artful resume was that his periods of employment at the FDA primarily alternated with positions working for Monsanto, their consultants, or with their legal counsel. He must have done something right because he was elevated to Vice President of Public Policy for Monsanto. And remember he is an attorney. And what are attorneys trained to do? That’s right. Subvert the legal system.
    Okay, on the surface it would appear that this is a definite screw up and conflict of interest as this article states. BUT, this could have been a man who has seen how the dark side operates and has had an epiphany of some sort and intends to shine a light on it, root out the evil. Looking at his face, it could go either way. So we have to look at his record.
    Is Michael Taylor a savior or a sell-out?
    Taylor took that position with FDA in 2009. Have we seen improvements in any tangible way?
    Well, food safety is certainly problematic to many Americans. We have seen FDA approval of farmed salmon, genetically engineered, and no labeling allowed to let us know. About 97% of corn, the base of our food chain, is GM now, I read on several reputable sites, for example Lots of other basic foods too. Did you know
    GMO Foods List: Top 10 Worst Foods
    Corn. One of the most prominent GMO foods, avoiding corn is a no-brainer. …
    numerous other products, soy is also modified to resist herbicides. …
    Sugar. …
    Aspartame. …
    Papayas. …
    Canola. …
    Cotton. …
    Also zucchini and yellow squash (to resist viruses)
    We are prohibited from knowing if the can or package or box of pasta we are buying is a GM product so we can make an informed decision. We essentially were told in November 2015 by the Generic Mr. FDA, “They are perfectly safe and we aren’t going to label it, you don’t need to know, now go outside and play and forgeddaboudit.” There wasn’t a name attached to that blanket statement, just “The FDA announced…” Exactly who IS making these decisions anyway?
    OTHER bones that are being picked:
    Failure to require labeling of GM foods (Already mentioned)
    Failure to recognize the scaled-down safety needs of small farmers
    Failure to enforce and punish food safety violations by large producers
    Unfair enforcement of food safety procedures against small producers
    Clamping down on raw milk producers
    Continuing attempts to regulate vitamins to the point of making them prescription drugs. (That I heard on PBS. Guess that was a tip of the hat to Big Pharma 🙂
    Melamine in dog food ingredients imported from China
    Ground up euthanized animals rendered and added to dog food as “protein and filler.”
    Apparently no control over the skyrocketing cost of medicines for pets and a whole lot of adverse reactions resulting in deaths of our furry friends and no accountability.
    In the meantime lots of petitions are online to fire Michael Taylor along with suits about agency transparency filed by journalists who apparently are prohibited from talking to staff members without a note from an agency official (that one is thanks to Bush I read)..
    Okay, he supposedly did a wonderful job at USDA to make meat safe. That’s one for him.
    And the nutrition labels on food have certainly improved. That’s two.
    But it looks like the rest of the things people are REALLY worried about are an epic fail.
    But really we need to know WHO IS MR. FDA really and why won’t he come from behind the curtain? Maybe Taylor was hired as a sort of corporate beard. Or a scapegoat.
    Safe to say, though, the FDA HAS been kept seriously underfunded. But I’m betting there’s a LOT of wasted time and BS instead of just doing the job.
    And then four or five MORE hirees from Big Pharma and Monsanto have magically appeared at the FDA. Who is responsible for THAT?
    In conclusion I have to say, either Mr.Taylor needs to be replaced or a ROARING fire needs to be lit under him. the FDA needs to DEMAND funding.
    Their/His performance is atrocious.
    A savior he apparently is not.

  6. There is absolutely nothing wrong with GMO foods, and the people that
    attack GMO foods are the ones that are evil, not the companies that
    produce GMOs. Golden rice is a GMO food designed to save third world
    children from vitamin A deficiency, blindness, and death; but ignorant
    activists such as Green Peace have systematically destroyed fields of
    golden rice fortified with beta carotene, leaving many children to
    suffer. Natural casabas contain dangerous amounts of natural cyanide,
    leaving many Africans sick; but GM casabas reduce cyanide and fortify
    the food with essential nutrients not normally found in casabas. A
    disease spread by aphids was destroying the papaya crop in Hawaii, but a
    GM papaya (adding a vaccination to its engineering) was introduced
    there that saved the crop. Are we so unscientific that we start banning
    vaccinations? GMO activists intimidated the makers of Cheerios to stop
    using sugar from genetically modified sugar beets; they started using
    sugar from natural sugar beets. But sugar is sugar. Cheerios’ spokesman
    even stated that both kinds of Cheerios are equally healthy (and both
    are identical chemically), but they “wanted to please their customers.”
    The study often cited against GM foods is junk science. They used only 10
    rats already predisposed to develop tumors, and only tested one GMO
    food. The fact is that we have already consumed trillions of meals with
    GMO foods and had no ill effects. Genetic modification is a process, not
    a thing; so the things they produce are just as natural as anything
    else. Everything in nature is genetically engineered. Is a person who is
    conceived by invitro fertilization any less of human being than the a
    person conceived naturally? If the GMO protestors and the author of
    this article actually took a few genetics courses, perhaps they would
    have something intelligent to say about GMOs.

    • If you actually looked into some Monsanto’s practices maybe you would think differently. They started as a chemical company and were responsible for agent orange. They are literally trying to monopolize the food industry and putting honest farmers out of work. Trying to privatize the world water supply for profit. Getting Washington to rewrite laws so they can get away with not labelling their poisons. Decimating the Bee population with GMO crops. But it’s all propaganda right? If you can’t see the conflict of interest in allowing execs from powerful corporations from getting government positions then you’re a fool. It’s no different than Oil execs going to work for the clean air commission. Or an exec from Waste Management going to work for a major Recycling Company. Oil execs that blocked the Electric car for years among other things or Waste execs who refuse to bring in styrofoam recycling programs so they can make $$$ mining it out of landfills in the future. No harm done there. Keep drinking high fructose corn syrup, it’s good for you.

      • It is absurd to think that Monsanto will monopolize the food industry. As long as there is sufficient demand for non-GMO food, non-GMO food producers will continue to thrive. Farmers are free to buy either GMO seeds from Monsanto & Syngenta or get organic seeds from other sources or BOTH: they should do want makes them more profitable (in other words, what the consumers really want). I see nothing wrong with privatizing water for profit. To say that government doesn’t make profit is just semantics as they cannot continue any endeavor without additional capital in the form of taxes. Why is the government involved with water anyway when so many other government ventures have been so inefficient? True, we should put an end to crony capitalism, but the blame for this falls mostly on corrupt politicians, not on private executives. Only the politicians actually have the power to change laws directly; and if they were not willing and able to use their power to play favorites (based on their “campaign donations”), there would be no corruption. Laws favoring some companies over others should be unconstitutional, and every company deserves equal protection.
