Universally loathed and hated Monsanto is being sued for bio-piracy by India, Brazil, Peru and Hungary. In legal gymnastics eerily reminiscent of the copyright troll extortion tactics, Monsanto claims 2 % royalty on the retail value of the crops grown from its GMO seed.
Now 5 million Brazilian farmers have had enough and are now suing Monsanto for $7.7 billion.
Monsanto is your classic evil corporate pirate. It has successfully corrupted the political and legal system to poison us with their filthy GMO foods.
These kind of corporations have to be banned, and sued into bankruptcy.
It’s sixteen miles To the promised land And I promise you, I’m doing the best I can
Now don’t fool yourself Into thinking you’re more than a man Because you’ll probably end up dead
I visit these Mountains with frequency And I stand here with my arms up
Now some days they last longer than others But this day by the lake went too fast And if you want me You better speak up, I won’t wait So you better move fast
Don’t fool yourself Into thinking you’re more than you are With your arms outstretched to me
Now it’s sixteen miles To the promised land And I promise you, I’m doing the best I can
Now some days they last longer than others But this day by the lake went too fast And if you want me You better speak up, I won’t wait So you better move fast
And some days they last longer than others But this day by the lake went too fast And if you want me You better speak up, I won’t wait So you better move fast
Regina Spektor- Ne Me Quitte Pas Lyrics Down in Bowery They lose their ballads and their lipped-mouths in the night And stumbling through the street, they say “Sir, do you got a light?

The Al-Nusrah Front was little known before the Syria uprising but has since become a major part of the insurgency.
The Australian government has placed a prominent Sunni Islamist group fighting the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria on its terrorist blacklist.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr has announced Australia will list the Al-Nusrah Front as a terrorist organisation to try to starve the group of funding and support.
Unknown before the uprising, the Al-Nusrah Front since mid-2012 has become the spearhead of the insurgency ahead of the mainstream rebel Free Syrian Army.
The Islamist jihadist faction has since captured key army bases and is believed to have set up a religious council to administer affairs in rebel-controlled areas in eastern Syria.
Senator Carr said with 5000 fighters in Syria, the Al-Nusrah Front had a history of suicide attacks and bombings.
“I’m advised Al-Nusrah is active against the Syrian military…
Senate report documents fraud and lawbreaking by JPMorgan Chase
16 March 2013
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released a 300-page report Thursday documenting systematic fraud and deception by JPMorgan Chase, the biggest US bank, in connection with over $6.2 billion in losses from high-risk speculative trades in financial derivatives in 2012.
The losses, incurred by the bank’s London-based Chief Investment Office (CIO) and a trader dubbed the “London whale” because of the size of his bets, were concealed from investors, analysts, regulators and the public by the bank’s top management, including its chairman and CEO, Jamie Dimon.
The report details from emails, phone conversations and interviews with bank officials the use of accounting gimmicks to vastly understate the scale of the losses in the first quarter of 2012, the withholding…
There was widespread anger as the European proposal to protect bees from toxic pesticides failed to get a majority.
Campaigners across the continent hoped the European Commission’s proposed two-year suspension of neonicotinoids would be passed, but major nations, including UK and Germany, failed to back the plan in a vote on Friday.
The result leaves environmental campaigners, scientists and some politicians bitterly disappointed. “Britain and Germany have caved in to the industry lobby and refused to ban bee-killing pesticides” said Iain Keith, of the campaign group Avaaz. “Today’s vote flies in the face of science and public opinion and maintains the disastrous chemical armageddon on bees, which are critical for the future of our food.
“But the European Commission will appeal the decision and can still get it adopted! This week we got Spain on our side, let’s keep up the pressure on Germany, the UK and other countries who abstained…
The mechanical experiments of German engineer, inventor, and pioneer automobile manufacturer Gottlieb Daimler aroused so much suspicion that, at one point, the police raided his workshop in Stuttgart, Germany, expecting to find a counterfeiting operation. They found only engines, as Daimler had been working on improvements to the internal combustion engine that would play a major role in the development of the automobile industry. He sold his first automobile in 1892. What was his famous motto? More…Discuss

Maurice Richard was a star ice-hockey player for the Montreal Canadiens and a hero of the French-Canadian population. After he was involved in a violent confrontation during a game with the Boston Bruins, Richard was suspended for the rest of the season as well as the playoffs. Many fans in Montreal believed the penalty to be overly severe and motivated by prejudice against French-Canadians. At a game just days later, the fans rioted. Who did the mayor of Montreal blame for inciting the riot? More…Discuss
The phrase “they shall not pass” has been used in several languages to express fortitude in defending a position against the enemy. Its most famous use was by FrenchGeneralRobert Nivelle in World War I during the Battle of Verdun. The Spanish “no pasarán” became an international communist slogan after it was used in 1936 by an antifascist leader in Spain defending against nationalist forces laying siege to Madrid. How did the nationalist leader allegedly respond upon taking the city? More…Discuss

There’s a nail in the door And there’s glass on the lawn Tacks on the floor And the TV is on And I always sleep with my guns when you’re gone There’s a blade by the bed And a phone in my hand A dog on the floor And some cash on the nightstand When I’m all alone the dreaming stops And I just can’t stand What should I do I’m just a little baby What if the lights go out And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan Outside the door he followed me home So goodnight moonI want the sun If it’s not here soon I might be done No it won’t be too soon ’til I say goodnight moon There’s a shark in the pool And a witch in the tree A crazy old neighbor and he’s been watching me And there’s footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall Something’s under the bed Now it’s out in the hedge There’s a big black crow sitting on my window ledge And I hear something scratching through the wall What should I do I’m just a little baby What if the lights go out And maybe I just hate to be all alone outside the door he followed me home So goodnight moon I want the sun If it’s not here soon I might be done No it won’t be too soon ’til I say goodnight moon
Guitar solo
Well you are up so high How can you save me? When the dark comes here tonight To take me up to my front walk and into the bed Where it kisses my face And eats my head
What should I do I’m just a little baby What if the lights go out And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan Outside the door he followed me home So goodnight moon I want the sun If it’s not here soon I might be done No it won’t be too soon ’til I say goodnight moon
