Corporate giant Monsanto, known for its controversial business model, lobbying, and its widely criticized genetically modified organisms (GMOs), has officially joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, a group of powerful interests including major banks and Big Oil backing the United Nations “Agenda 21” scheme for so-called “sustainable development.” Critics, however, expressed alarm over the announcement, saying the global “sustainability” push is really a transparent plot to centralize power in the UN and enrich special interests at the expense of private property rights, national sovereignty, and individual liberty.
Despite the widespread suspicion and criticism plaguing both Monsanto and the global Big Business alliance pushing the UN’s Agenda 21, the company and the coalition celebrated the move in a recent press release. According to the announcement late last month, the biotech behemoth will be rolling out a “sustainability” course for its employees all over the world. Chairman and CEO Hugh Grant will represent the GMO company as a “Council Member” in the global “sustainable development” coalition.
Even though Monsanto has become probably one of the most controversial companies in the world, it is extraordinarily well connected in the halls of power, and the global business alliance for “sustainable development” celebrated the firm’s decision to sign up. “In joining the WBCSD, Monsanto is taking an important step along a continuum towards developing a more sustainable agriculture system — one that improves our daily lives, respects our global environment and recognizes the importance of the world’s small-holder farmers,” claimed council President Peter Bakker in a statement posted on the group’s website.
Farming and global agriculture must change, the WBCSD continued. “We must find new ways to protect soils, enhance ecosystems and optimize land use in ways that are environmentally sound,” Bakker added in the press release. “And we must move towards a future vision for agriculture where absolutes become as out of place as a one-size-fits-all approach to farming.”
Indeed, the WBCSD’s website is rather candid about its aims and its “One World vision,” explicitly touting the UN Agenda 21 and its radical plan for transforming human civilization. “The One World vision is the ultimate stage of a conceptual evolution that started decades ago,” the council notes on its site. “This evolution produced several paradigm shifts that combine how we comprehend our world, and, as a result, how we try to deal with it.”

I am sure Monsanto is part of the big money and power backing Obama.
Exactly right, sir. We live in a Plutocracy now. Obama does the bidding of his corporate masters. Democrats can no longer say that the Republican Party is exclusively the party of the rich.
I have a feeling that the day after his first inauguration, Obama was introduced to a cabal men representing the richest and most powerful men in the world. After the niceities, he was sat down in the Oval Office, a 72″ plasma screen TV was brought in, and he was shown a video of JFK in Dallas in 1963.
After the video was over, they looked at him and asked “Any questions, BOY!?”
“You won’t have any problems with me. Just be sure I get my cut.”
By the people, of the people, and for the people does not exist any longer, dude!
I agree with you. Obama has the money and power backing him so all he has to do is what he is told. I believe he will remain in charge until his big money string pulling puppet masters are finished with him then he will somehow be eliminated. Due to voter fraud placing Obama in office 2 times I am sure the Democrats will take control of Congress after the 2014 elections. Then Obama will appoint his Supreme Court Justices and that will be the last nail in America’s coffin. I do not think anything or anyone can stop the Obama machine. I also believe the only reason he is sending planes and tanks to the Middle East is to help wipe Israel off the map. The US will be next.
It’s not “the Obama Machine.” Lenin’s 10 point plan for the destruction of America is almost complete. Just a few more steps to go.
Yep you are right. I am sure that Obama is just a pawn in the scheme of things.
I have read where Monsanto and Soros are buying up all the farms they can get their hands on, this would have them in control of all of our food supply…..Monsanto is not allowed to sow their seeds in the UK and other countries due to the chemicals in them, once planted, the farmers cannot plant any othe seeds that will grow in those fields and in the corn belt, as of two years ago, reported that over 22,000 miles of stream have been polluted by the run off of seeds by monsanto…….this is why they fight with high dollar lawyers to keep monsantos name out of products they are in.
There’s so much to it. Here are many details about all the connections between the Secretary of Agriculture, Monsanto, Cargill, Delta Airlines and many more. Real people. Real facts. Right here: http://bit.ly/ZztO5d
Worldwide man made famine, just to sell genetically modified seeds that will offer little to no nutritional value. Now, that is a really scary thought. If that thought comes to fruition, then how will one fight back? Hopefully there are still heirloom seeds available if and when that may or may not occur. I would hope that you would realize that if this happens, the global elite will have nutritious food for themselves.
If you are starving to death, how does one combat global tyranny?
