Monsanto buys Blackwater the largest Mercenary Army in the World? UPDATE
UPDATE:
"Setting the Record Straight: Did Monsanto Really Buy Blackwater (now known as Academi, and before that was Xe)? ...
"...The truth of the matter is that Academi
(Blackwater) was purchased by private investors, and the heavily
sourced article written by Jeremy Scahill in The
Nation actually says nothing about Monsanto buying Blackwater.
"What the articles does say, however, is that
Monsanto and Blackwater are indeed working together to target anti-Monsanto
activists and organizations..."
"Known as far back as 2010, Blackwater’s client
list included Monsanto, Chevron, Walt Disney and many more. [Sidebar: Walt Disney?? Why would Walt Disney need to hire assassins??]
"According to documents obtained by Scahill, it was also revealed that
Monsanto was willing to pay upwards of $500,000 in order for Blackwater to join
anti-Monsanto activist groups and infiltrate the ranks. Furthermore, a number of
Internet-based tactics could be utilized as incognito PR for Monsanto, who
undoubtedly knew opposition would mount against their GMO crops as more
individuals became aware of the dangers.
Amazingly, the document stated that Monsanto was ‘concerned about animal rights activists’ and that they discussed how Blackwater could ‘have our person(s) actually join [activist] group(s) legally.’
"Of course this occurred back in 2008, and
Monsanto admitted in e-mails that the relationship lasted until around 2010 —
near the time the information came to light..." [Sidebar: 2008 to 2010? Why is this news now? Or...why are we hearing about this now?]
