孟山都保护法,是埋藏在今年3月经美国国会通过的拨款法案HR933中的第735款,正式名称是“农场主担保条款”,国会通过后经奥巴马签署而成为了法律,终因美国人民的坚决反对,在9月底征集到所需要的60万以上签名后,被永久性废除了。这是一个多么伟大的胜利!为什么我们一直不知道呢?因为所有的主流媒体都“步调一致”地保持了彻底的沉默!当HR933通过国会批准时,它们高呼美国政府支持孟山都和转基因;而民众运动把它废除掉了,媒体却“步调一致”地对这个罕见的重大事件缄口沉默——孟山都公司养的律师不少于开基因枪的技术专家,这个公司不仅能操纵市场,操纵媒体,玩弄生命,还能操纵法律,制定法律,但是它不可能“搞定”人民。
主流媒体想不说啥就不说啥,所以我们直到现在才知道,“孟山都保护法”已经永久废除了!美国公众反对转基因的运动最近进展很大,杰弗里.史密斯(Jeffery Smith) 刚刚亲口告知!
“孟山都保护法”的核心内容是:即使孟山都公司的转基因农作物被发现对人身体有害、造成了环境污染,即使该公司被告上法庭,即使在诉讼期间,也就是说在任何情况下,孟山都公司都无需停止“生产”和销售,法院不能强制孟山都公司停止行动,也就是说,在任何情况下联邦法院也没有办法对孟山都公司实行制裁。在美国这样法制完善的国家里,如果连最高司法机关都不能采取任何手段制止孟山都的任何行为,还有什么人能合法挑战它呢?
美国的反转运动取得巨大进展,这是人民大众团结一心拼死斗争得来的胜利!在孟山都保护法出笼期间,“立即实行粮食民主”运动的领导人戴夫.墨菲,不仅深刻揭露了孟山都保护法、成功地引导了公众关注,他还带头站在最前线,在白宫门口抗议,即使奥巴马签署了法案,生米似乎已经煮成了熟饭,他们仍然没有放弃,他们坚持斗争直到9月底,终于征集到所需的60万以上的签名,永久性废除了“孟山都保护法”。
如果没有美国人民的坚持,孟山都公司保护法将会像达摩克利斯之剑一样,悬挂在全人类的头上!在中国,我们扛住了转基因利益集团推进转基因水稻产业化的一次重点进攻。拉锯战又开场了,国务院发展研究中心的韩俊副主任今天声称,要对转基因更加开放,那就来试试吧。
转基因穷途末路,早已风光不再,任何人上了贼船不想下,都请便。不管还要猖狂多久,转基因必败。不管还要打多少个回合,人民必胜。
附:乌有编译:奥巴马签署《孟山都保护法》 该法案系孟山都撰写
(2013-03-31 )据报道,尽管有25万人联署反对,奥巴马上周二还是签署了这一埋藏在78页法律中的《孟山都保护法》。该法案有利于孟山都等转基因公司向民众兜售转基因作物,即使出现对人身体有害或者造成环境污染的情况下,也能避免联邦法院的制裁。许多食品安全的倡导者认为现在还没有对转基因种子和作物的潜在危害做足够的研究,若潜在危害显露时,法律是阻止转基因公司兜售和种植转基因作物的关键手段。然而《孟山都保护法案》的签署使得民众无法再用法律手段来维护自己的权利。
据IB Times 揭露,这个法案由孟山都支持的共和党议员Roy Blunt提出,由Blunt与孟山都共同撰写.
另据华盛顿时报指出,这个法案的通过被许多像先正达公司、美国嘉吉公司和孟山都视为胜利,这些公司自2009年以来就向国会捐助750万美元,以及向参议院拨款委员会捐助37.2万美元。(据今日俄罗斯,IB Times 等)
Furor Growing Against Obama Over 'Monsanto Protection Act'
原文链接:http://www.ibtimes.com/furor-growing-against-obama-over-monsanto-protection-act-1156459#
Anger is growing against President Barack Obama the day after he signed into law a spending bill that included a provision opponents have dubbed the "Monsanto Protection Act."
food and public safety advocates and independent farmers are furious that Obama signed it despite its inclusion of language that they consider to be a gift to Monsanto Company (NYSE:MON) and other firms that produce genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or genetically engineered (GE) seeds and crops.
And protesters have spent the past couple of days demonstrating in front of the White House, first calling on Obama to veto the bill, and now criticizing him for his failure to do so.
The protests come on the heels of a massive petition campaign organized by the advocacy group Food Democracy Now, which gathered the signatures of more than 200,000 people who wanted Obama to veto HR 933 in order to stop Section 735 -- the so-called "Monsanto Protection Act" -- from being codified into law.
But Obama ignored it, instead choosing to sign a bill that effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of GMO or GE crops and seeds, no matter what health consequences from the consumption of these products may come to light in the future.
"This provision is simply an industry ploy to continue to sell genetically engineered seeds even when a court of law has found they were approved by USDA illegally," the petition stated. "It is unnecessary and an unprecedented attack on U.S. judicial review. Congress should not be meddling with the judicial review process based solely on the special interest of a handful of companies."
Many food safety advocates maintain that there have not been enough studies into the potential health risks of GMO and GE seeds and crops, and the judicial power to stop companies from selling or planting them was one key recourse they were relying on to stop them from being sold if health risks come to light.
But the "Monsanto Protection Act" -- referred to as the "Farmer Assurance Provision" by its supporters -- removes that course of action, and those who are angry at Obama for signing the bill are also incensed with Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D- Md., who is accused of failing to give the amendment that inserted the language a proper hearing.

Monsanto Wrote Monsanto Protection Act
'Monsanto Protection Act' slips silently through US Congress
http://rt.com/usa/monsanto-congress-silently-slips-830/
So, just how much of a victory is this for biotech companies like Monsanto? Critics are thus far alarmed by the very way in which the provision made it through Congress -- the rider was introduced anonymously as the larger bill progressed through the Senate Appropriations Committee. Now, groups like the Center for Food Safety are holding Senator Mikulski (D-MD), chairman of that committee, to task and lobbing accusations of a “backroom deal” with the biotech industry.
As the Washington Times points out, the provision’s success is viewed by many as a victory by companies like Syngenta Corp, Cargill, Monsanto and affiliated PACs that have donated $7.5 million to members of Congress since 2009, and $372,000 to members of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
