Monsanto Man<\/span><\/p>\n

by Jon Rappoport<\/span><\/p>\n

November 25, 2013<\/span><\/p>\n

www.nomorefakenews.com<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

the faces at the bar just want the news <\/span><\/p>\n

smooth lines<\/span><\/p>\n

a little dip here a little wave there<\/span><\/p>\n

you know, professional<\/span><\/p>\n

sleep<\/span><\/p>\n

music is playing<\/span><\/p>\n

some old sentimental country tune<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cshe left him\u201d \u201che left her\u201d whatever the hell it was<\/span><\/p>\n

3am stumbling from his seat to the bathroom<\/span><\/p>\n

Jack is counting his change<\/span><\/p>\n

that’s all he’s got left <\/span><\/p>\n

after The Company raped his land<\/span><\/p>\n

giant superweeds are all Jack’s got left<\/span><\/p>\n

so Jack sprays Paraquat and 24d (heavy poisons) on the weeds <\/span><\/p>\n

la la la<\/span><\/p>\n

he has to buy new seeds every year from Monsanto <\/span><\/p>\n

la la la<\/span><\/p>\n

(and when The Man found Jack had inadvertently used Roundup Ready seeds without paying for them he sued Jack)<\/span><\/p>\n

la la la <\/span><\/p>\n

3am stumbling back to his seat at the bar<\/span><\/p>\n

Jack still doesn’t know what hit him<\/span><\/p>\n

the tune keeps playing<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201che left her\u201d \u201cshe left him\u201d whatever the hell it was<\/span><\/p>\n

the faces at the bar look at Jack<\/span><\/p>\n

they have no idea what he’s been through<\/span><\/p>\n

the faces at the bar are watching the news replay<\/span><\/p>\n

another drone attack<\/span><\/p>\n

baby diapers<\/span><\/p>\n

restless legs<\/span><\/p>\n

neutralize stomach acid <\/span><\/p>\n

invisible makeup<\/span><\/p>\n

GE, Pfizer, Glaxo, Syngenta<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201che left her\u201d \u201cshe left him\u201d whatever the hell it was<\/span><\/p>\n

one drunk at the end of the bar says \u201cit’s a strange night\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

everybody stops and listens<\/span><\/p>\n

they don’t know it but they’re hearing a giant wave of poison coming out of St. Louis<\/span><\/p>\n

towering above<\/span><\/p>\n

the plains<\/span><\/p>\n

So deep, so blue the night<\/span><\/p>\n

so quiet <\/span><\/p>\n

there’s a painting hanging above the bar<\/span><\/p>\n

a man wearing a cowboy hat<\/span><\/p>\n

his lips curled in an old sneer<\/span><\/p>\n

Jack holds up his hands<\/span><\/p>\n

and says<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cmy family was on this land for a hundred years<\/span><\/p>\n

do you know what that means<\/span><\/p>\n

do you know what that means every day<\/span><\/p>\n

and now the lights go off<\/span><\/p>\n

the lights go off<\/span><\/p>\n

they want me to sell<\/span><\/p>\n

I fell for their pitch<\/span><\/p>\n

they took me to the cleaners\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

numb faces at the bar<\/span><\/p>\n

listen to the sound of the rising wave of poison<\/span><\/p>\n

they don’t know what Jack means<\/span><\/p>\n

but they get the gist<\/span><\/p>\n

a woman screams<\/span><\/p>\n

everybody can hear rain on the metal roof like bullets<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201che left her\u201d \u201cshe left him\u201d whatever the hell it was<\/span><\/p>\n

the bartender says, \u201cyeah, well, my ass hurts\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

and everybody starts laughing<\/span><\/p>\n

they laugh<\/span><\/p>\n

&laugh<\/span><\/p>\n

tears roll down their cheeks<\/span><\/p>\n

they pound their heads on the bar<\/span><\/p>\n

they fall off their stools<\/span><\/p>\n

they roll on the floor<\/span><\/p>\n

they’re yelling and picking up chairs and throwing them<\/span><\/p>\n

and now the President comes on the news and says<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cwe’re all in this together\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"Exit<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

a TV news crew busts in with lights<\/span><\/p>\n

and Jack walks up to the camera and says<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cmy family’s been on this land a hundred years<\/span><\/p>\n

do you know what that means<\/span><\/p>\n

every day for a hundred years<\/span><\/p>\n

and then I fell for Monsanto’s pitch<\/span><\/p>\n

and they wiped me out<\/span><\/p>\n

they took me to the cleaners\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

the camera pans and catches people throwing chairs, rolling on the floor, laughing and weeping<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201che left her\u201d \u201cshe left him\u201d whatever the hell it was<\/span><\/p>\n

maybe it wasn’t something then<\/span><\/p>\n

but it’s something now<\/span><\/p>\n

laughing&crying <\/span><\/p>\n

…a different look<\/span><\/p>\n

a different look<\/span><\/p>\n

coming into the eyes<\/span><\/p>\n

the TV reporter a brittle blonde with skinny legs says out of nowhere as she looks around the room, \u201cman, I need to get laid tonight\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

then she addresses the bar<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201care we talking about a death machine here, people? or do you want me to keep it polite? shall we all skate and pretend it’s good? shall we sit down and have a meeting and analyze what’s happening and deliver a report…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

people in the bar stare at the camera for a long time… <\/span><\/p>\n

then they say<\/span><\/p>\n

death machine <\/span><\/p>\n

they say death machine<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201che left her\u201d \u201cshe left him\u201d whatever the hell it was<\/span><\/p>\n

the tune ends<\/span><\/p>\n

who are the soldiers who go out into the fields of America and Africa and Asia <\/span><\/p>\n

and South America to push food <\/span><\/p>\n

changed forever <\/span><\/p>\n

into the mouths of billions of waiting humans<\/span><\/p>\n

pockets empty<\/span><\/p>\n

Jack walks out of the bar into the rain<\/span><\/p>\n

and moves along the road<\/span><\/p>\n

under the sky<\/span><\/p>\n

and begins to stride <\/span><\/p>\n

his pulse picks up<\/span><\/p>\n

a <\/span><\/p>\n

titan on the earth<\/span><\/p>\n
