RT 2 May 2017
Biotech giant Monsanto is being accused of hiring, through third parties, an army of Internet trolls to counter negative comments, while citing positive “ghost-written” pseudo-scientific reports which downplay the potential risks of their products.
The documents emerged during pre-trials on 50 lawsuits against Monsanto which were pending in the US District Court in San Francisco. The plaintiffs allege that exposure to the biotech giant’s flagship product, the herbicide Roundup, caused them or their relatives to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma, while Monsanto concealed the potential risks.
In March, a judge ruled, despite Monsanto’s objections, that the documents obtained by the plaintiffs could be released. The court papers are being gathered at the website of food-safety whistleblower organization US Right to Know.
The plaintiffs alleged that Monsanto targeted all online materials and even social media comments that indicate potential dangers of its products, according to one document released late in April.
“Monsanto even started the aptly-named ‘Let Nothing Go’ program to leave nothing, not even Facebook comments, unanswered; through a series of third parties, it employs individuals who appear to have no connection to the industry, who in turn post positive comments on news articles and Facebook posts, defending Monsanto, its chemicals, and GMOs,” the document reads.
On a larger scale, Monsanto allegedly
“quietly funnels money to ‘think tanks’ such as the ‘Genetic Literacy Project’ and the ‘American Council on Science and Health”– organizations intended to shame scientists and highlight information helpful to Monsanto and other chemical producers,” according to the plaintiffs.
The accusations are backed by a batch of emails, used in court as evidence, which were written by some Monsanto executives, instructing the staff to “ghost-write” articles and then have some “independent scientists” just sign their names under the “study” in order to reduce costs.
“A less expensive/more palatable approach might be to involve experts only for the areas of contention, epidemiology and possibly MOA (depending on what comes out of the IARC meeting), and we ghost-write the Exposure Tox & Genetox sections,” the letter’s excerpt reads. “An option would be to add Greim and Kier or Kirkland to have their names on the publication, but we would be keeping the cost down by us doing the writing and they would just edit & sign their names so to speak. Recall that is how we handled Williams Kroes & Munro, 2000.”
Monsanto, however, dismissed such allegations, claiming that the plaintiffs’ attorneys took a “single comment in a single email out of context.” The new accusations appear to be better-founded than earlier ones, which were largely based on the words of one of Monsanto’s top executives, Dr. William Moar, who reportedly said at a conference in January 2015 that the company had an “an entire department,” dedicated to “debunking” science which disagreed with the agrochemical giant’s own research.
One of Monsanto’s most well-known attempts to silence “bad” science was related to a report issued by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in March 2015. Monsanto promptly labelled the report as “biased,” and demanded it be retracted. The report said Roundup’s key ingredient glyphosate was “probably carcinogenic.”
“We question the quality of the assessment,” Monsanto’s vice president of global regulatory affairs, Philip Miller, said. “The WHO has something to explain.”
‘Lawsuits have no merit, glyphosate does not cause cancer’ – Monsanto to RT
In a response to this story, a Monsanto representative has sent a statement to RT, “confidently [saying] that glyphosate is not the cause” of cancer.
Saying that “no regulatory agency in the world considers glyphosate a carcinogen,” Monsanto referred to regulatory authorities in Europe, US, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Australia, who “have publicly reaffirmed that glyphosate does not cause cancer.”
“Plaintiffs’ attorneys in the United States have been soliciting plaintiffs for potential lawsuits since an ad hoc working group called IARC incorrectly classified glyphosate,” the statement said, adding that “these attorneys are attempting to tie the IARC classification to individual cases of cancer, and they have been running advertisements to recruit plaintiffs. These lawsuits have no merit.”
“While IARC’s erroneous classification has attracted media attention and been used repeatedly by certain anti-agriculture organizations to generate unwarranted fear and confusion, regulators around the world continue to support the safe use of glyphosate,” Monsanto’s email to RT said, adding that the company “empathize[s] with anyone facing cancer.”

Monsanto has been losing money hand over fist, Schluter, as more and more farmers opt out of GMA crops. They had no choice but to agree to the merger – their survival as a corporation was at stake.

MONSANTO AND BAYER A MARRIAGE MADE IN HELL. BAYER IS A NAZI SUPPORTED CORPORATION, DURING WORLD WAR II, HITLER USED BAYER TO MANUFACTURE GAS FOR THE GAS CHAMBERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEATH AND EXECUTION. I LEARNED OF THIS LAST NIGHT LISTENING TO CLYDE LEWIS ON HIS GROUNDZERO RADIO PROGRAM. VACCINATIONS AT GUN POINT WILL EVENTUALLY HIT THE USA, JUST LIKE PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO BECOME VACCINATED IN AFRICA. THERE IS A BILL 1313 THAT IS KNOW AS EMPLOYMENT WELLNESS, WHERE IN ORDER TO HOLD A JOB, A PERSON MUST BE FORCED TO RECEIVE VACCINATIONS AND LEADING INTO BEING COMPUTER CHIPPED. DNA KITS WILL ALSO UNDER THIS BILL BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION. MONSANTO AND BAYER WILL BE USED FOR THE MOST PART OF THIS PROCESS.

Interesting, isn’t, futuret, that the same chemicals they used in the gas chambers were re-purposed after the war to sell as pesticides. So now the poisons are in in all our foods and water supply.

How those ‘people’ sleep at night, I do not know. Many legitimate studies have provided proof positive that Monsanto’s herbicide, Roundup causes cancer and as far as I am concerned, Monsanto could not do enough damage control to even make itself believable in saying that it has the best interest of the people at heart and that its products do nothing to promote adverse health conditions in humans.
Monsanto has claimed that its GMO products are not harmful which was a lie since many, many companies are now starting to label products “Non-GMO.” They would not do that if people had not listened to evidence that GMOs are indeed, extremely detrimental to our health and have therefore, been steering clear of them. I see “Non-GMO” labels all the time in stores and I am glad to see that with or without a government mandate, companies are informing us of what is in our food because we should have a choice in what is put into our bodies. We should not be flying blind here.

Interesting question, Shelby, how they sleep at night. From everything I read, they have a philosophy of life that only the wealthy privileged deserve to live. In their minds, people who are poor or who just scraped by deserve their lot. It’s something they hear in their families from the time they’re born and in their private schools. They can only live with their obscene wealth by convincing themselves they have earned it from hard work – that people who aren’t wealthy are lazy and morally inferior and deserve what happens to them.

Well, I guess that is what happens when that kind of wealth is just handed down, from generation to generation. And they don’t even realize that they did absolutely nothing to ‘earn’ their wealth. I would not want to be them for ALL their wealth.
