If we are in the new age and all the bad guy's are in confinement and the light is in control, why oh why would Obama do this?

 

I havent seen many positive actions from him for a soul who supposedly quite evolved and a lighthouse.?

Food, shelter, and clothing are often considered the three basic needs by humans and the actions by President Obama on Tuesday have now left millions of Americans across the land in shock as the very first tenet has been horrifically jeopardized by his signing the Monsanto Protection Act into law (H.R. 933) as mentioned on the Facebook page for Food Democracy Now.

For those that are new to this situation, the Monsanto Protection Act is the name given to what's known as a legislative rider that was inserted into the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill.

Using the deceptive title of Farmer Assurance Provision, Section 735 of this bill actually grants Monsanto immunity from federal courts pending the review of any GM crop that is thought to be dangerous.

Under the section, courts would be helpless to stop Monsanto from continuing to plant GMO crops that are thought -- even by the US government -- to be a danger to human health or our cherised environment.

Frankly, I'm not surprised. Michelle O. has been a big part of the Monsanto rallies. As to why a president, who is supposed to represent the people of his country, would sign such a blatent law into effect, is beyond me. Especially, since the effects of GMO crops are widely known. What does Monsanto have on this family, that they are so beholden to it? It boggles the mind.

So, if I understand you correctly, it would mean that this "law" concerning Monsanto, will expire in September, and therefore would have to be renewed? Maybe by then, enough people will have woken up to this debacle, paid attention and are ready to do something about it.
