Monsanto's Increasing Seed Monopoly Power Under Scrutiny
Monsanto's Increasing Seed Monopoly Power Under Scrutiny
Source: Organic Consumer Association
EXTRACTS: Monsanto's exclusionary behavior "could only be accomplished using their various
forms of influence like a well-oiled machine"...[including] large financial contributions to elected
officials, consuming state and federal bureaucracies, and "covertly pointing" former employees into
judicial positions, interfering with policy in organizations and associations "that claim to represent
us."
Hixon went on to state that company insiders revealed celebrations occurred during a Christmas
party last year. "Mostly this was due to their ability to monopolize universities pertinent to their
agenda. By donating a million bucks to each school, Monsanto can expect taxpayers to pick up the
remaining tab on what would have cost them a billion on their own. This doesn't include their added
funding from the USDA and farmers' check-off dollars," he continued, adding that the company can
then use the money it saved to buy more seed companies.
