Enslavement of the World

I've seen a lot of heart-throbbing documentaries, but this one is by far one of the greatest threats to humanity's survival from a despotic totalitarian dystopian nightmare. It's a well done investigative documentary that you wont find on U.S. TV

What do we do? For one, become informed. Tell EVERYONE you know. Get them to share as well. Secondly... pray? Become involved in the spread of awareness. Public awareness is the biggest pressure to involve international government intervention.



Genetically Modified Movie

Biotech activist Dr.
Vandana Shiva is a featured voice in Marie-Monique Robin’s new documentary, The World According to Monsanto.
"'If they control seed, they control food,' says Shiva. 'They know it. That's more powerful than bombs. It's more powerful than guns. This is the best way to control the populations of the world.' And indeed the Monsanto Corporation controls the world’s seed. In the past ten years, they have bought over 50 of the world’s seed companies, they provide seeds for 90 percent of the world’s genetically modified crops, and their relentless Round-Up campaign has convinced farmers around the globe that their destructive method of GMO farming is safe for humans and the environment.

Robin, a farmer’s daughter who has spent twenty-five years as an investigative journalist, uses the film to channel her outrage, resulting in the most comprehensive film about Monsanto’s crimes to date. She takes us from Anniston, Alabama, where Monsanto dumped one million pounds of PCBs into local waterways, to rural Paraguay, where Round-Up herbicide has caused illness and physical deformation in the children, and to India, where suicide is seen as a farmer’s only retreat from Monsanto.

The World According to Monsanto explores Monsanto’s hundred-year history as a chemical company (the same guys that brought you Agent Orange), it’s aggressive formation and implementation of patent laws to create Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), and the heartbreaking impact its policies have on human health. All of which, says Robin, adds up to the greatest threat to human rights of our time."

Discovered this cause when looking up a local file-sharing community online, their incentive for giving users download points was to have them donate bags (8 canned goods) of food to their local food bank. Their reward was not only moral conscience, but also a sense of global community.
