Monsanto Employing Troll Army To Silence Online Dissent?

[Karl12]

Well this was an older thread over on ATS (with many defunct links) but thought it definitely deserved a repost as the subject remains incredibly important - also makes a person wonder why corporations like this are not prosecuted for spreading 'disinformation'.







• Monsanto Employing Troll Army To Silence Online Dissent?




Following on from revelations in this video about officially sanctioned government 'troll training programmes' it also looks like Monsanto has also been making a huge, concerted effort to control the exposure of certain information and hoodwink the general public.

Biotech giant Monsanto is being accused of hiring, through third parties, an army of Internet trolls to counter negative comments, while citing positive “ghost-written” pseudo-scientific reports which downplay the potential risks of their products.

The documents emerged during pre-trials on 50 lawsuits against Monsanto which were pending in the US District Court in San Francisco.

Video - Genetic Fallacy: How Monsanto Silences Scientific Dissent

Always thought paid shills were the lowest of the low and apparently the court documents show how Monsanto employed an army of internet trolls to literally "Let Nothing Go" - no article, no comment, no social media post is to be left unanswered by these third party proxies.

Pretty disturbing stuff and considering Monsanto's merger with IG Farben's Bayer a while back and their extremely close connections to Bill Gates (and the Rockefellers) then perhaps it's not surprising that they now control one quarter of the world’s food supply.

If anyone is unaware of the history of Bayer then there's a good breakdown below.

VIDEO.

It is hardly surprising that the first thing Bayer did after completing their takeover of Monsanto earlier this month was to announce that they were dropping the Monsanto name, merging the two companies’ agrichemical divisions under the Bayer Crop Science name. After all, as everyone knows, Monsanto is one of the most hated corporations in the world. But Bayer itself has an equally atrocious history of death and destruction. Together they are a match made in hell.

The 'revolving door' between government and big business is also a huge corruption factor and although a bit dated these Venn diagrams give a good idea of just how bad the problem has become (Monsanto second to bottom).

Looks like they've known since 1985 that their product was extremely dangerous (possibly lethal) but decided just to lie about it.

Extremely large fines don't seem to deter these people so suppose extremely long jail sentences are needed instead.

They don't exist any more, owned by a German pharmaceuticals company now.  Posts like these hurt them enough that they dropped the name.

I remember a presentation in a past life that we had to sit through where it was explained that this new client isn't evil and it's just business.  Imagine you run a company where anyone that wants to do business with you first has to workshop their staff to tell them it's okay.





edit: I see you did mention it in the OP, reading comprehension fail from my end

Ha yes mate I put that in the first post.

Yes lots of corporations acting like psychopaths these days and regarding MoBay looks like the EPA and corporate media also colluded in covering things up.

Pretty hilarious that they paid 11 billion dollars to keep everyone out of court but still maintain their product is 'safe' lol.

Some pretty mind blowing facts discussed in this interview involving Glyphosate being found in rainfall, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, billions (and billions) in payouts and the utter corruption of science.

Also brought up is how Glyphosate is extremely dangerous to birds and insects.

become a biochemist because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a biochemist doesn't work the way it's depicted in movies and tv shows. instead of curing disease, improving agriculture to eliminate hunger and saving the planet, your job is to create a system that institutionalizes disease and hunger for the benefit of wealthy people and their system of control. if that harms the planet along the way, that is of no importance other than as a public relations issue. if your conscience bothers you, your peers have created pharmaceuticals that can silence the guilt and numb the moral damage. armies of paid liars will help you continue to lie to yourself. *

why does it seem like all corporations eventually become sociopathic?
attempts to reign them in only make them lie better.
does this evolve to complete amorality?
where does it end?


* i am being bitter in the vein of this article

Yes mate they just pay the fine and continue on with their anti-human antics.

The Vanguard Group owns over $3 trillion in investments in different, and mostly hated, companies like Monsanto.

They also hold the world’s largest companies such as: Bank of America, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. State Street Corporation, Vanguard Group, Capital Research Global Investors, and FMR (Fidelity) are all the key owners of – well, essentially the world.

And this includes Monsanto. You could say that just four companies control all the big banks and all the major companies on the planet.

Would post more but (surprise surprise) all the links have now been deleted.
