This shocking article about Pharmaceutical Heavies partnering with CIA and US military to shoo Paraguayan natives off their land so they can grow GMO soy is written by Ignacio Chapela, former assistant professor in the Environmental Science Department at the University of California-Berkeley. Pharmaceutical giant Novartis signed a $25,000,000 deal with Berkeley College of Natural Sciences in 1998. The university Board closed the deal without the consulting the faculty.
In exchange for the funding, Novartis gained exclusive patent rights to one-third of all of CNS research and direct influence over the specific areas of the college’s research. Chapela, along with his colleagues didn’t sit too well with such deliberate control of their research by corporate interests and he began investigating.
He found that under the guise of anti-terrorist activities the US military has joined the Paraguayan military to quash uprisings of campesino farmers. GMO crops are not welcome in their land and they are banding together to stop corporations from planting these crops. Big brother agricorp is not leaving without a fight though. Their lackeys (US soldiers) are even poisoning villagers with pesticides so they become so sick they can’t stay on their lands and must flee.

Next time a vegetarian tells me about compassionate eating, I’ll direct them to stories like this one.
