We have work to do. Please blast this around the universe!
But ESPECIALLY, find:
- people who work at Universities (professors, administrators, Boards of Governors, Faculty Councils, University Senates, students, support staff)

CONSIDER:
The Alliance to Feed the Future has been formed, 50 industry groups. Monsanto is at the helm. It’s role is to create propaganda for the media, politicians, farmers and other citizens: GMO food is good for you and the Planet.
WHO often generates the material for the chemical/GMO industry? I am sorry to say, but here it is:
From the March Against Monsanto (MAM), May 25, 2013, Saskatoon SK:
- Part 1: http://youtu.be/DdaPQs1ZozQ (The role of the University)
- Part 2: http://youtu.be/dGKYDjRg1Is
- Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A970LXVI4Ec
- Input from MAM – Edmonton: pictures of Monsanto Bldg at U of A
- Other (connect GMO to Universities)?

WHAT SUGGESTS THAT UNIVERSITiES WILL SERVE THE INTERESTS OF THE GMO CORPORATIONS (ALLIANCE TO FEED THE FUTURE)?
- recently established Global Institute for Food Security at the University of Saskatchewan (link to info that includes Board of Directors)
- the new Wheat programme at the U of S (link to info)
- 12 University presidents now on the SPP (link to)

WHAT’S AT STAKE?
- 2013-05-10 Russia Warns Obama: Monsanto GMO. Global War Over “Bee Apocalypse” Coming Soon, EU Times
- A closer look at GMO ingredients in store-bought food
- The industry is desperate to bring wheat and alfalfa under GMO control. (link)

WHAT TO DO?
Make sure people at the University know
- Alliance for the Future of Food is a creation of the chemical/biotech corporations for the promotion of GMO food. Its interests are closely aligned with the industry’s lobbyists, CropLife. The resistance to Monsanto/GMO food is swelling.
- The industry uses the University to credential young people who become the propagandists for the industry.
The Putin article spells out the situation with GMO/chem agriculture. It has to be stopped. It means speaking with the elephant in the room, the University.
There ain’t nobody who is going to do it for us!
One of the first things I want to do is track down Marianne Williamson. Her speech at the March Against Monsanto was just excellent. I’d like to add the Unversity connection to her radar screen. She doesn’t mention it. 2013-05-27 What comes next? March Against Monsanto. Marianne Williamson speaks.
UPDATE: Done! And a reply received. See the preceding link.

HOW TO MOVE THE UNIVERSITIES
- Give them a reason to change
- Support the work on campus for good food (there are lots of people dedicated to good food, but the money is funelled to GMO/chem agriculture — witness the Global Institute for Food Security at the University of Saskatchewan). (link)
