This is a interesting film about Monsanto by food activist Gary Null. The The Internet Movie database description of film that released in December 2012 says: "This feature-length documentary exposes the public health dangers of genetically modified foods and features leading scientists, physicians, professors, attorneys and activists. You'll see the deep corruption surrounding GMOs and the nefarious deception being perpetrated against the world."
Seeds of Death: Unveiling The Lies of GMO

Opinion
Monsanto, through serious lobbying efforts, has our government leaders by the nuts. Nearly every single member of the executive branch and Congress has been bought and paid for by this mega conglomerate, which has infiltrated congress with the most well heeled lobbyists on the planet. Monsanto employees people before and after those same key people enter and leave politics.
Our so called leaders in Congress, all the way up to Obama and past presidents, who have passed laws to give Monsanto the carte blanche to wreak havoc upon the small farmer at the expense of a healthy food supply in the U.S. and around the world are acting negligently, if not criminally. Recently, Obama signed a bill drafted in Congress to protect Monsanto against litigation in federal courts. It was a earmark with wording initially drafted by Monsanto and it was slipped into the back end of the Continuing Resolution Spending Bill in March 2013. Anti Monsanto activists nicknamed the earmark, which was signed into law by Obama, the "Monsanto Protection Act".
John Stewart describes how the Monsanto Protection Act was snuck in and what it is... It is sort of sad that America's best source of news of this type was Jon Stewart, while the rest of the mainstream media was asleep at the wheel.
This act was put in place to protect Monsanto from several major lawsuits in motion. When lower courts find in favor of small farmers, Monsanto simply takes it to a higher court and shoots for a different outcome. The higher they go, the closer they get to winning.

The above were just two handpicked links on cases against Monsanto. Please Google "lawsuits against Monsanto" and study the lawsuits and the resistance to Monsanto's practices by the small farmer in different parts of the world.
In doing my own homework, I have found many many compelling arguments that genetically modified foods may be at least partially responsible for digestive disorders. There are lists around the Internet as to which brands of food use Monsanto and other GMO products. Consider switching to products without such ingredients, preferably non packaged whole foods purchased at local farmer's markets, grown by organic farms that do not use GMO seeds. The best way to protest Monsanto is to not buy their products or products made with ingredients linked to Monsanto.
Consider joining the March Against Monsanto on Saturday March 25, 2014 where you can learn much more about ways to improve your health by avoiding industrialized corporate food products that are diminishing the quality of life for those who seek real food.
Came across a tidbit of valuable info for those in the March Against Monsanto tomorrow. In a story about the global mercenary army firm formerly known as Blackwater was this quote: "One of the most incendiary details in the documents is that Blackwater, through Total Intelligence, sought to become the "intel arm" of Monsanto, offering to provide operatives to infiltrate activist groups organizing against the multinational biotech firm."
Apparently, Monsanto has such infiltrators lurking.... so be careful. Not everyone attending this march will be your friend. Read this story from The Nation for more clarity on that topic. http://www.thenation.com/article/154739/blackwaters-black-ops#

Who is the terrorist?
Anyone who thinks we (The U.S.) has any sort of moral high ground as we:
1. launch military strikes upon and inside sovereign nations who have not struck us first, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and everywhere else we now drop bombs from drones and routinely kill innocent civilians
2. still imprison ANYBODY in the world, including American citizens now and can hold them indefinitely without a speedy trial
3. still use torture
4. carry out an assassination program that can include American citizens without due process of any kind for the targets
Please consider the fact that if we, as American people, applied to true definition of "terrorist" to the U.S. Government's actions, we would find ourselves and our federal government guilty of being the biggest terrorist in the world. Why would we find ourselves (yes, that means YOU and ME!) guilty? Because the government is carrying these and other terrorist as well as fascist acts in our collective name as Americans.

“The Trials of Muhammad Ali”: Boxing Champ’s Refusal to Serve in Vietnam Was the Fight of His Life
In a broadcast exclusive, Democracy Now! aired excerpts from a new documentary that examines the struggle Muhammad Ali faced in his conversion to Islam, his refusal to fight in Vietnam, and the years of exile that followed before his eventual return to the ring. Ali is considered the greatest boxer in the history of sports. When he refused to be drafted into the military and filed as a conscientious objector, he was sentenced to prison and stripped of his heavyweight title. He appealed his case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and did not go to prison, but he was forced to wait four years before regained his boxing license. "The Trials of Muhammad Ali" has its world premiere tonight in New York City at the Tribeca Film Festival. “This isn’t a boxing film, but it is a fight film” says our guest, Director Bill Siegel, “It’s a journey film that I hope says as much about us as it does about him.” Democracy Now! also spoke with Gordon Quinn, executive producer.

President Otto Pérez Molina of Guatemala and his role in the Indigenous Massacres of the 1980's
In 1982, investigative journalist Allan Nairn interviewed a Guatemalan general named "Tito" on camera during the height of what are known as the Indigenous Massacres in Guatemala. It turns out the man was actually Otto Pérez Molina, the current Guatemalan president. Below is a long story of death and destruction, and the role the U.S. and Israeli government and covert military operations played and how some of the players are still active and in high level positions in the U.S. and Guatemalan establishment to this day. The nearly one hour segment below was produced by Democracy Now!, which is worthy of viewer and listener support by those who appreciate such uncorrupted reporting.
