world — an experiment to which we do not know the full extent of the damage. Instead, as 11-year-old Birke Baehr shows us, it simply takes a bit of research.
I wanted to share Birke’s TEDX speech as I feel it shows just how far the information we continue to cover each day has spread.
Even the youngest citizens of the world are continuing the tradition of
seeking truth that those before them have initiated since the
beginning. The speech also reveals how even an 11-year-old can examine
the situation at hand and realize the inherent problems that go along
with giving control of the world’s staple food supply to a company that
created one of the deadliest chemical weapons of all time — Agent
Orange.
A History Of Corruption
We know that Monsanto was responsible for creating the Vietnam-era
chemical warfare weapon known as Agent Orange. A chemical creation that killed 400,000
individuals (many of which were innocent or our own troops), led to
300,000 plus birth defects, and continues to haunt veterans and their
families to this day. We also know that Monsanto managed to slip away
from criminal charges without so much as a real apology. Quite simply,
this is a company with a confirmed history of widespread death that has,
in typical mega corporation fashion, utilized an army of lawyers to protect itself from fair treatment within the court system.
And thanks to the company’s extreme ties to the government and the
media, from associates like top FDA head Michael Taylor, Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas,
and beyond, it has managed to get away without a hitch. Monsanto’s good
pal Clarence Thomas has even helped secure them a foothold within the
Supreme Court that has allowed for them to openly patent life under what the Supreme Court determines to be a perfectly ‘legal’ practice.
Watch as Birke exposes Monsanto based on the information surrounding
the GMO juggernaut that he has researched during his homeschooling.
