Monsanto found guilty of chemical poisoning in France
[...]

A French court has declared the US biotech giant Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning of a French farmer, a judgment that could lend weight to other health claims against pesticides.
[...]

Monsanto said it was disappointed by the ruling and would examine whether to appeal against the judgment.

"Monsanto always considered that there were not sufficient elements to establish a causal relationship between Paul Francois's symptoms and a potential poisoning," the company's lawyer, Jean-Philippe Delsart, said.

Oh! And how about the evidence of the Canadian and American farmers, who were accused by Monsanto of using Monsanto's chemical Scheissdreck, which had infected and poisoned the farmers' fields!?

Genetically Engineered Foods
Supreme Court Denies Family Farmers the Right to Self-Defense From Monsanto Lawsuits
Food Democracy Now! | January 13, 2014 1:55 pm

The U.S. Supreme Court today issued a decision in the landmark federal lawsuit, Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) et al v. Monsanto. Farmers were denied the right to argue their case in court and gain protection from potential abuse by the agrochemical and genetic engineering giant, Monsanto. Additionally, the high court decision dashes the hopes of family farmers who sought the opportunity to prove in court Monsanto’s genetically engineered seed patents are invalid.

“While the Supreme Court’s decision to not give organic and other non-GMO farmers the right to seek preemptive protection from Monsanto’s patents at this time is disappointing, it should not be misinterpreted as meaning that Monsanto has the right to bring such suits,” said Daniel Ravicher, executive director of the Public Patent Foundation and lead counsel to the plaintiffs in OSGATA et al v. Monsanto.

“Indeed, in light of the Court of Appeals decision, Monsanto may not sue any contaminated farmer for patent infringement if the level of contamination is less than one percent,” Ravicher explained. “For farmers contaminated by more than one percent, perhaps a day will come to address whether Monsanto’s patents may be asserted against them. We are confident that if the courts ever hear such a case, they will rule for the non-GMO farmers.”

Farmers had sought Court protection under the Declaratory Judgment Act that should they become the innocent victims of contamination by Monsanto’s patented gene-splice technology they could not perversely be sued for patent infringement.

“The Supreme Court failed to grasp the extreme predicament family farmers find themselves in,” said Maine organic seed farmer Jim Gerritsen, president of lead plaintiff OSGATA. “The Court of Appeals agreed our case had merit. However, the safeguards they ordered are insufficient to protect our farms and our families.”

“This high court which gave corporations the ability to patent life forms in 1980, and under Citizens United in 2010 gave corporations the power to buy their way to election victories, has now in 2014 denied farmers the basic right of protecting themselves from the notorious patent bully Monsanto,” said Gerritsen.

The historic lawsuit was filed in 2011 in Federal District Court in Manhattan. The large plaintiff group numbers 83 individual American and Canadian family farmers, independent seed companies and agricultural organizations whose combined memberships total more than one million citizens, including many non-GMO farmers and over 25 percent of North America’s certified organic farmers.

“The Appellate Court decision could leave Canadian farmers out in the cold because their protection may not extend to Canada at all,” said Saskatchewan organic grain farmer Arnold Taylor, a member of plaintiff member Canadian Organic Growers. “Like many Canadian farmers, we sell crop into the U.S. and can therefore be liable to claims of patent infringement by Monsanto.”

In a complicated ruling issued in June 2013 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., American farmers were handed a partial victory when the three justices agreed with the farmers’ assertion that contamination by Monsanto was inevitable. The justices ordered Monsanto not to sue American farmers whose fields were contaminated with trace amounts of patented material, which the Court defined as 1 percent.

In a related situation, Canadian soybean farmer Stephen Webster of Ontario experienced just how abusively Monsanto treats innocent contamination victims. Through no fault of his own Webster, who farms with his elderly father, had his 2012 identify-preserved non-GMO soybean crop contaminated by Monsanto’s patented genetically engineered seed. Their soybeans were ruined for export to specialty markets in Japan.

“First Monsanto claimed we had too many bees and that we were at fault for the contaminated crop,” said Webster. “Then they threatened to run up $100,000 in legal bills that we would have to pay.” Tragically, Webster’s story is the norm in farm country, with Monsanto using its extreme economic power to silence family farmers even before they can legally defend themselves.

Notably, none of the plaintiffs are customers of Monsanto. None have signed licensing agreements with Monsanto. The plaintiffs do not want Monsanto’s seed and they do not want Monsanto’s gene-spliced technology and have sought legal protection from significant economic harm to their businesses and way of life.

“We have a fourth generation farm,” said organic dairy farmer and plaintiff Rose Marie Burroughs of California Cloverleaf Farms. “Monsanto cannot be trusted. Their refusal to provide a binding legal covenant not to sue our fellow farmers would make anyone wonder, what are their real motives? GMO contamination levels can easily rise above one percent and then we would have zero protection from a costly and burdensome lawsuit.”

Significant contamination events, including Starlink corn and LibertyLink rice, have already cost farmers and the food companies nearly $2 billion dollars. In the past year alone, the discovery of Monsanto’s illegal GMO wheat in an Oregon farmer’s field and GMO alfalfa in Washington state sent foreign markets, where GMOs are not wanted, reeling. In both instances farmers’ economic livelihoods were put at risk as buyers in foreign markets refused to buy the GMO contaminated crops.

“If Monsanto can patent seeds for financial gain, they should be forced to pay for contaminating a farmer’s field, not be allowed to sue them,” said Dave Murphy, founder and executive director of Food Democracy Now! “Once again, America’s farmers have been denied justice, while Monsanto’s reign of intimidation is allowed to continue in rural America.”

“Monsanto has effectively gotten away with stealing the world’s seed heritage and abusing farmers for the flawed nature of their patented seed technology,” said Murphy. “This is an outrage of historic proportions and will not stand.”

Based on events from a 1998 lawsuit, PERCY follows small-town farmer Percy Schmeiser, who challenges a major conglomerate when the company’s genetically modified (GMO) canola is discovered in the 70-year-old farmer’s crops. As he speaks out against the company’s business practices, he realizes he is representing thousands of other disenfranchised farmers around the world fighting the same battle. Suddenly, he becomes an unsuspecting folk hero in a desperate war to protect farmers’ rights and the world’s food supply against what they see as corporate greed.

Nachruf auf Percy Schmeiser
22.10.2020
Bertram Verhaag DENKmal-Film

Im Gedenken an Percy Schmeiser

In einer Zeit, in der sich viele davor fürchten keine Macht gegen Politik, Großkonzerne und übermächtige Wirtschaftsdynamiken zu haben, hat ein mutiger Mann bewiesen, wie viel man auch als Einzelner bewirken kann. Der Kanadier mit bayerischen Wurzeln Percy Schmeiser und seine Frau Louise sind weltweit zu Symbolfiguren geworden im Kampf unabhängiger Bauern gegen die Gentechnik.

Die Schmeisers betrieben bereits seit Jahrzehnten eine eigene Rapszucht, als genmanipulierter Raps des US Saatgut- und Chemiemultis Monsanto vermutlich durch Pollenflug von benachbarten Feldern auf Schmeisers Acker gelangt. Obwohl Schmeiser selbst den Schaden durch eine genverseuchte Ernte hatte, wurde er von Monsanto auf Lizenzgebühren und Schadensersatz in Millionenhöhe verklagt.

Das Ehepaar Schmeiser wehrte sich 10 Jahre lang erfolgreich durch alle gerichtlichen Instanzen bis zum Obersten Gerichtshof in Kanada gegen den Großkonzern, der nicht nur Saatgut, sondern auch die dazugehörigen Herbizide vertreibt (darunter auch das umstrittene Roundup/Glyphosat und das im Vietnamkrieg als chemische Waffe eingesetzte Agent Orange).

Der weltweit größte Anbieter von gentechnisch verändertem Saatgut Monsanto - heute Bayer - machte den Schmeisers über Jahre hinweg das Leben zur Hölle, indem er sie demütigte, einschüchterte und bedrohte.

Percy ließ sich nicht klein kriegen vom dominanten Konzern, der nach wie vor versucht durch Patentierung die Kontrolle über das Saatgut unserer Erde zu gewinnen. In seinem unermüdlichen Kampf für die Lebensvielfalt bereiste er über 150 Länder, hielt Vorträge, regte Diskussionen an und sprach Warnungen aus.

Für ihr beispielhaftes Engagement erhielten die Schmeisers 2007 mit dem Alternativen Nobelpreis die weltweit wohl bedeutendste Auszeichnung für Mut und Zivilcourage.

Wir bedauern zutiefst, dass Percy Schmeiser nun im Alter von 89 Jahren verstorben ist. Vielleicht kann einer alleine die Welt nicht verändern, doch es kann ihm gelingen die Menschen dazu zu bewegen, ihren Blick auf die Welt zu ändern. Dies ist Percy Schmeiser gelungen. Wir betrauern sein Weggehen von dieser Welt, möge sein Vorbild weiterhin Ansporn und Inspiration für uns alle sein!



Von Schmeisers Kampf gegen den Agrarkonzern, der an David gegen Goliath erinnert, handelt mein Dokumentarfilm

DAVID GEGEN MONSANTO von 2008.

Diesen möchten wir nun für zwei Wochen kostenlos auf Vimeo
https://vimeo.com/470193557/ccf5bd08e8

Der Film wird außerdem ab sofort auch auf OLAtv

https://www.olatv.de/aktuell/percy-schmeiser-david-gegen-monsanto-trailer/

und PantaRay
https://www.pantaray.tv/percy-schmeiser-david-versus-monsanto
