Victory!!! Monsanto Denied AGAIN Court, Will Face First “Ecological Disaster” Trial for Destroying Thousands of Acres of Crops Across the Country

by  | June 26, 2018

When it comes to chemicals produced by the Monsanto Company (which is now a part of Bayer), it goes without saying that Roundup is the most well known (and infamous) of the bunch.

But there’s a new kid on the block that’s been causing perhaps even more damage to the farming landscape in the United States: dicamba, which is sprayed en masse on crops that have been genetically engineered to withstand it.

The chemical has already caused damage to millions of acres of farmland in the past few years, leading to a ban in Arkansas during which Monsanto sued the state’s entire plant board, believe it or not.

And now, the company has been denied in federal court — and it could lead to one of the biggest “ecological disaster” lawsuits of its kind.

Judge: Monsanto “Tacitly Encouraged” Farmers to Illegally Spray Crops

According to a ruling from U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Monsanto has been denied a motion for partial summary judgment, in other words an attempt to quickly dismiss its pending trial over widespread damage to Missouri’s largest peach farm, Bader Farms.

It will now stand trial for its role in what’s being called a massive “ecological disaster spanning several states”

The motion was filed by the Bader family, which alleges that damages of more than a million dollars have been caused by dicamba drift from neighboring farms.

Many farms in the area had been spraying Monsanto’s dicamba-based XtendiMax herbicide with VaporGrip technology, and its GMO herbicide-resistant Rouundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean varieties.

As noted in this article from No-TillFarmer.com, Monsanto has been accused of conspiring to create an “ecological disaster” by encouraging farmers to illegally spray an older version of the herbicide, which drifted to the Bader farm and caused damage to tens of thousands of peach trees.

The trial is scheduled for next year.

Meanwhile, more and more farmers continue to suffer the consequences of dicamba drift, even as Monsanto says there is “no merit” to the plaintiffs’ claims and continues to deny responsibility, as they are so well known for doing.

Monsanto Chemical Must Be Stopped

While the dicamba chemical has been banned or restricted in Arkansas and numerous other states, the company’s chief technology officer continues to live in denial.

Robert Fraley said that there “very few injury reports so far this year,” despite the fact that nearly 400,000 acresof soybeans have been damaged already this year, and it’s not even the hot season where the chemical is most dangerous.

One farmer named Steve Smith even took to Twitter to offer the following retort to Fraley, one of Monsanto’s top executives who is set to step down following the Bayer merger:

dicamba monsanto tweet farmer

 

Another farmer said that dicamba drift came from as far away as 3/4 of a mile to damage his own soybean crop, while a third farmer posted the following retort to Fraley:

dicamba retort poison monsanto

 

Needless to say, this is one issue that must be examined further, before the health of our crops, farmers and soil is further compromised. And as usual, we can’t trust Monsanto (or Bayer now for that matter) to give us the complete, honest truth: it’s up to us, and the many farmers suffering on the ground, to set the record straight.

Citizen Cattle

I often get positive email from people with good ideas for cartoons. Surprisingly, all of the ideas have been good. I haven’t been able to draw them all, but I have thought about them. The idea for this cartoon came from a certain Alex L. I realized it was a good idea worth developing and so I did.

The more we let government decide things for us, the more we become their cattle. We aren’t supposed to question government. After all, they have our best interests at heart, right? We fear our militarized police and they treat us like animals, not citizens.
The government says we don’t need to know if we’re eating GMO foods. We don’t need to worry about fluoride in our tap water. A little bit of poison can’t hurt us. Sure. We don’t need to worry about the falsehoods being told to us by mainstream media. We are burdened with debt (especially college kids) and debt slave money is designed to shackle us. We all become poor and on the dole.
It’s just big government taking care of us, right?
A few years ago I drew a cartoon that featured forced inoculations and I was laughed at. But now it has become a law in California and some presidential candidates such as Ben Carson are openly espousing it. It’s inoculation by force. It’s inoculation by the point of a gun.
Do citizens no longer have a choice about what they eat and drink? Don’t we have control of our own bodies? Don’t we have say? Well, we’d better start speaking out against these things before the government decides we are ready to be sent to one of their slaughterhouses.

A few words about OUR President

I just posted this on Facebook as I am sick and tired of the hate so take it in that context.  Also feel free to copy and paste and share as your own.  -Roxy


I offer no apology for what I am posting, for this is truly how I feel. This is my opinion, not a debate. If you disagree, or find my position offensive, I’m perfectly fine with that & no, I’m not offended, feel free to unfriend me forthwith.
I have lived through several United States Presidents prior to our current President Trump. In my lifetime, I have never seen nor heard of a President scrutinized over every word he speaks, humiliated by the public to the point of disgrace, slandered, ridiculed, insulted, lied to & beyond common logic, threatened with death, threatened to rape our Beautiful First Lady, Our First Lady Disrespected, & have his children also insulted & humiliated.
I am truly ashamed of the people of MY country. I am ashamed of the ruthless, hating, cruel, Trump haters who display themselves as to having no pride, morals, ethics nor values in Our Country’s traditions. Our Elders taught us 30, 40+ yrs ago to respect our President, whether we voted for them or not, & all these news stations & reporters who feel they have the right to carry on with blatent lies & say the things they do for a good story. Every other President before he was elected, that took the oath of office, was left alone, wasn’t on the news 24/7, scrutinized by their every word. ALWAYS BEING PRESSURED to do this or that & never given the time to take care of the important work this country really needs. I know he is not perfect, very different than what we’ve become accustomed to but ENOUGH is ENOUGH, LEAVE THE MAN ALONE & LET HIM DO HIS JOB!!
None of the other Presidents in their times were spotless or perfect either. I want our President Donald Trump to succeed & try to make our America great again!
If you agree, please copy & paste this to your timeline!
Yes, I am an American, and a Trump supporter. I always have been, always will.
