Yesterday–in honor of a worldwide March Against Monsanto–Los Angeles protesters evoked the sweeping horrors of the French Revolution: the guillotine. A more graphic illustration of the dangers of genetically engineered or genetically modified (GMO) food could hardly be devised.
Either “mankind stops Monsanto, or Monsanto stops mankind.” That’s how much is at stake–and despite the mainstream TV media blackout of coverage, 2 million people marched worldwide.
A sampling of the “turnout” is the video below, recorded in Vienna, Austria.

That good old corporate TV media ignored the global March Against Monsanto all day. If you don’t think there’s a corporate conspiracy protecting BIOTECH, consider this: the only major coverage of March Against Monsanto was from Al Jazeera and Russia Today television. Newspapers like USA Today fared better: “Protesters From Around the World March Against Monsanto”.
Still, GMO producers worried–worried enough to be planning a “bite back”! [Check out “GMO Food Labeling Drive.“] Saturday’s March Against Monsanto is just a start to raising awareness worldwide.
