Her
presidency would be nightmarish for world peace, popular interests and
what remains of fundamental freedoms, a disaster risking full-blown
tyranny and global war - vital to go all-out to oppose.
Her biotech/agribusiness ties began during the 1980s as a Rose Law firm lawyer. Monsanto and Tyson Foods were clients.
During
her years as first lady in the 1990s, she supported harmful to health
genetically modified foods and ingredients - while banning them from
White House menus.
The Clinton and Bush II families ate organic foods, free from genetic manipulation and toxic pesticides.
As
Obama’s secretary of state, she heavily pressured other countries to
use and import GMOs. US taxpayer money continues promoting them
worldwide, ignoring food safety.
Monsanto
gave the Clinton Foundation up to a million dollars - dirty money
buying influence. Last year, she hired former Monsanto lobbyist Jerry
Crawford to run her campaign.
Environmentalists
justifiably call her the “Bride of Frankenfood.” Throughout her legal
and political careers, she consistently supported corporate interests at
the expense of popular ones.
It’s unsurprising she and husband Bill are multi-millionaires. As of late 2015, their estimated net worth exceeds $110 million.
During
her unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign, Monsanto’s Washington law
firm sponsored a fundraiser, titled “Rural Americans for Hillary.”
It
emblazoned a large “Welcome Hillary” sign on a toxic Monsanto Roundup
sprayer. The company is involved in raising millions of dollars from
donors to elect her president.
In
late June 2014, she keynoted the BIO International Convention, attended
by 15,667 industry leaders, including nearly 2,500 CEOs from all 50
states and 70 foreign countries - endorsing GMO foods and ingredients,
saying:
“I
stand in favor of using (GMO) seed and products that have a proven
track record. There’s a big gap between the facts and what the
perceptions are.”
She charges around $200,000 per speech. Wall Street paid her millions. The major banks are her largest campaign contributors.
Disturbing facts belie her GMO support, wanting ordinary people worldwide consuming what she and husband Bill shun.
Food
Democracy Now! (FDN) calls her “another Monsanto-loving president in
the White House” if elected. Her longstanding ties to “the most hated
corporation on the planet” give millions of Americans cause for concern.
FDN calls for “end(ing) Monsanto’s hold on the White House and American policy once and for all.”
Hillary’s toxic pro-war, pro-corporate, anti-democratic, anti-populist agenda is polar opposite what’s vitally needed.
