Nazi Ties & Agent Orange: the Real Bayer - Monsanto Merger Story - WILL RAISE FOOD PRICES ACROSS US
(WILL RAISE FOOD PRICES ALL ACROSS US) - My 2 favorite progressives - Thom Hartman and Mike Papantonio (wow! you gotta love Pap - he always tells it as it is)
The Bayer corporation has successfully bid $66 billion to buy out chemical giant Monsanto, making these two corrupt organizations into one deadly behemoth. Attorney and author Mike Papantonio discusses this with Thom Hartmann.
Mike: Very. Very concerned. There are two huge issues with this Bayer Monsanto merger. The first is, that its going to raise food prices all across the United States and even beyond our boarders. Farmers have already experienced a 300% price increase in recent years, on everything from seeds to fertilizer, all of which are controlled by Monsanto, and ever forecaster is predicting that these prices are going to climb even higher because of this merger. Were going to have this massive price hike, at a time when 14 million Americans have already been unable to provide food for their families, and then were going to have this ethical problem thats plagued both of these corporations for decades.
Weve got Bayer and weve got Monsanto. Move to Bayer. This is a company thats joined at the hip with the Nazis, during World War II. They produced a clouding agent for hemophiliacs, in the 1980s, called Factor VIII. This blood clotting agent was tainted with HIV and then, after the government told them they couldnt sell it here, they shipped it all over the world, infecting people all over the world. Thats just part of the Bayer story. Right now, theyre facing lawsuits over products like Yaz, Xarelto, Essure, Cipro. In fact, the company, in 2014 annual report, listed 32 different liability lawsuits that the companys now facing.
