In the "imagined future," one in which we have "foreknowledge" and "mystically share in," that "dark place" of the Orwellian realm (1984), Monsanto assures us that information is available, accessible, and understandable," (Monsanto.com).

Infringe on Monsanto's patents of genetically modified food or transgress its seed laws and its "shadowy army" of private investigators and agents--"secretly" videotaping and photographing wrong doers, and infiltrating "community meetings"--will   to "get you" ("Harvest of Fear"). Farmers know Monsanto as the "seed police," the "Gestapo" of the Heartland.

Here is what the telescreen preaches to us: the U.S. Empire has detected a problem. The results of studies are in and obesity is that problem. Citizens of the U.S. of A. are obese!

Monsanto has the future of our children on its horizon--and it would seem Mrs. Obama does too!

In fact, this study found the problem to be with the giant Monsanto! "80 percent of all corn grown in the U.S. had been genetically modified by Monsanto." Three strains of corn tested caused serious problems in the liver (organichealthadvisor.com) and this is just one example of the risk Monsanto's food products pose for the current and future generations of children.
