Postcards from the Pétrole Epoque V

March of the Pigs via SeattleOil (Wes)
In one application (WO 2005/015989 to be precise) Monsanto is describing very general methods of crossbreeding and selection, using artificial insemination and other breeding methods which are already in use. The main "invention" is nothing more than a particular combination of these elements designed to speed up the breeding cycle for selected traits, in order to make the animals more commercially profitable.

According to (Christophe) Then, "I couldn't belive this. I've been reviewing patents for 10 years and I had to read this three times. Monsanto isn't just seeking a patent for the method, they are seeking a patent on the actual pigs which are bred from this method. It's an astoundingly broad and dangerous claim."

The big wheel keeps on turning. This is the penultimate result of oil fueled globalist mythology enacted as consensus reality.

It is horse shit.

Like clutch of obdurate donkeys, Monsanto mercenaries with scientific training belch out technology that seeks to enslave farmers and consumers in a web of corporate controlled products.

Have a tasty slab of MonsantoPork. Slathered delightfully with a crust of liver destroying MonsantoCorn, salted with Dioxin.

Are similar products, long available in the global commons - Pigs, Corn, etcetera - slated for a round of MonsantoFlu? Who knows - if it isn't patented, it is fit for consumption only by socialists and other rabble.
