Monsanto is now in full retreat against a global grassroots rejection of its poisons and lies. The company is backpedaling on every front now, even admitting defeat in Europe<\/a> and now trying to focus its last, desperate efforts on the United States and Brazil.<\/p>\n

But even in the Americas, Monsanto is losing on every front: GMO labeling legislation is cropping up in over a dozen states, the global March Against Monsanto<\/a> demonstrated global grassroots unity against GMOs, and even the so-called \u201cscience\u201d behind the \u201csafety\u201d GMOs is revealed as utter hogwash now that GMOs have escaped Monsanto\u2019s experimental wheat fields and contaminated commercial wheat crops<\/a> in America.<\/p>\n

Japan has halted U.S. wheat imports<\/a> and South Korea joined in<\/a> as well. Ben & Jerry\u2019s ice cream company has announced it is going 100% GMO-free<\/a>, and massive boycotts are under way<\/a> against brands that tried to block the GMO labeling ballot measure in California (Prop 37).<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve reached the tipping point against Monsanto<\/b>
\nJeffrey Smith of www.ResponsibleTechnology.org<\/a> has always talked about a \u201ctipping point\u201d being reached on GMOs, after which the flood of consumer awareness and demand would force food manufacturers and retailers to begin the process of ditching GMOs. I believe that tipping point has now been reached.<\/strong> In fact, I believe the March Against Monsanto was the final push over the fulcrum of the tipping point, and I am ecstatic that so many people all around the world marched in the streets to protest global food injustice<\/strong> while the wholly-discredited mainstream media sat back and pretended the march never even took place!<\/p>\n

In one fell sweep, the tipping point against Monsanto was triggered and the whole world realized the mainstream media has zero credibility<\/strong>. I\u2019ll call that a victory any day!<\/p>\n

Next steps: Commands from headquarters?<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re waiting for \u201ccommands from headquarters\u201d to figure out what\u2019s next in the war for food justice and farming justice \u2013 the war against Monsanto and GMOs \u2013 you don\u2019t really understand this movement. The beauty of everything that\u2019s happening today is that there IS no headquarters!<\/p>\n

Activists against Monsanto are simply making this up as we go along. There is no \u201cleader.\u201d There is no secret strategy meeting. There are no talking points. There is no overarching set of milestones being discussed. There is no one person that makes all this happen.<\/p>\n

The anti-GMO movement is all just large numbers of courageous individuals waking up and doing what needs to be done<\/strong>, whether that\u2019s organizing a march, posting videos online, boycotting food brands that use GMOs, or holding home viewing parties of DVDs that educate people on the truth about GMOs.<\/p>\n

This is the movement\u2019s strength. This is why nobody can be intimidated, sued or shut down by Monsanto. Behind every activist there are a thousand more carrying the torch for food justice. The anti-GMO grassroots movement absolutely will not stop until GMOs are banned from the global food supply, and that bold statement is just as true in Venezuela and Portugal as the United States. Everywhere that people eat food and grow food, everyone who is informed supports the idea of outlawing GMOs entirely.<\/p>\n

This goal will be achieved. I can see it now with clarity. The grassroots energy behind this movement is unstoppable. And while everyone in the grassroots anti-GMO movement may come from slightly different viewpoints on other social, political and economic issues, they all agree that GMOs have no place in the food supply<\/strong>, period!<\/p>\n

As I recently said in my speech at the March Against Monsanto in Austin:<\/p>\n

The fact that you are here, in all your beautiful diversity\u2026 is proof that they cannot divide us! They can only unite us with their insanity!<\/em><\/p>\n

If you are part of the effort to stop Monsanto and outlaw GMOs, you are winning<\/strong>. You are making a measurable, effective difference in the world, and the positive shockwaves of your efforts will be felt for generations to come.<\/p>\n

Keep up the good work. \":-)\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
