Chapter 662: The Dragon's Head Visits
Monsanto, which claims to be an agricultural company, aims to help farmers, produce healthier food, and reduce the environmental impact of agriculture, and its fist product -
- Roundup!
Roundup has been the world's best-selling herbicide for the past three decades.
But Xiao Yunfei knew from the information given by the shadow that Monsanto was founded in 1901, and in the 20th century, it was one of the largest chemical companies, and it once produced 'Agent Orange' containing highly toxic 'dioxin'.
'Dioxin' is known as the poison of the century, its toxicity is 900 times that of arsenic, 80 grams can cause 800,000 deaths, may induce cancer, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, reproductive system disorders and a series of diseases, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has listed it as a human carcinogen.
The 60 million litres of defoliant 'Agent Orange' sprayed by the United States during the Vietnam War contained 336 kilograms of dioxins, and to this day, these highly toxic substances are still present in the local soil, air and water sources in Vietnam, affecting generations of Vietnamese people.
Perhaps because of the good foundation laid in the 20th century, Monsanto is now the world's leader in biotechnology, and 90% of the technology related to the research and development of genetically modified crops on the planet has been controlled by Monsanto.
Xiao Yunfei also knew that the Monsanto company had also used patented technology and international conventions to conquer the grain control of some countries and then control the population of a country.
For example, more than 99% of the soybeans grown in Argentina are already genetically modified soybeans by Monsanto, and Argentine farmers not only have to pay extra for these genetically modified soybeans, but also get bogged down in legal proceedings.
The cotton farmers in India are not as lucky as the Argentine farmers, because the introduction of genetically modified cotton imported by Monsanto, the price of seeds has risen, the cotton farmers have loans, the harvest is not in good shape, they cannot repay, the banks no longer lend, the cotton farmers borrow usury, they cannot repay, they go bankrupt, and finally commit suicide.
This time and again, because the number of cotton farmers who have committed suicide because of this genetically modified cotton for so many years is even as high as more than 200,000!
This...... Definitely a scary number!
But in fact, Monsanto has effectively monopolized the soybean market and the sale of soybean seeds in South America such as Argentina, as well as crops such as corn, and has made huge profits from it.
The information also shows that Monsanto is suspected of falsifying a number of hazards related to its products, and has caused a number of human and animal diseases and deaths, because the instability of genetically modified organisms will cause a large amount of toxicity in vivo, especially for genetically modified corn, which will cause toxic accumulation in the liver and kidneys.
However, Monsanto is really powerful and more than that.
Because, they have connections with many high-level people in the country, and the reason why the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved this is because many of Monsanto's former senior employees have since entered the FDA and have influenced and mastered the approval process.
It is like a rising "revolving door", a "double helix structure", that is, a "propeller", and the "revolving door" not only exists in agriculture, but also in all fields.
Former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is the CEO of Searle Corporation, which in turn is a subsidiary of Monsanto.
McCanter, the former special envoy for foreign trade, left office and went to Monsanto's board of directors.
Supreme Court Justice Thomas also served at Monsanto.
Linda was transferred from the Environment Agency (EPA) to Monsanto
Michael Friedman moved from the FDA to Monsanto
……
Moreover, since more than a decade ago, Monsanto has acquired more than 50 seed companies around the world. These companies produce seeds for corn, cotton, wheat, soybeans, as well as tomatoes, potatoes and sugar beets, turning them all into genetically modified seeds.
As a result, people around the world are worried about the threat of Monsanto's monopoly, which in the long run may completely replace other traditional crops with genetically modified crops, but Monsanto does not agree and only blindly promotes the benefits of biotechnology.
Someone once said in the seventies: "If you control oil, you control all countries." If you control food, you control humanity. ”
This sentence is not alarmist!
Imagine what a terrible thing it would be for a country's seeds and grain to be completely supported by a company......
Monsanto, probably a company that most people don't know about, but he is one of the companies that has the greatest impact on the world!
Rockefeller?
Xiao Yunfei quickly saw a word from the information below that made him frown, and he read the information below.
"I really didn't expect that there is still the shadow of the Rockefeller family in this Monsanto company, no wonder the strength of this company is so strong."
Xiao Yunfei knows very well that the Rockefeller family is the richest family in the United States, and John? d? Rockefeller was the founder of this family, and he was also the first billionaire in human history.
Not?
Xiao Yunfei frowned, and soon he saw from the last information that this Monsanto company was still engaged in the research of drugs and human genes, including the 'Blood Angel'!
'Blood Angel', Xiao Yunfei knew from 'Black Sand', could it be that this Monsanto Company is still related to 'Black Sand'?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunfei wanted to pull down, but the information was completely gone here, so Xiao Yunfei was almost not crazy, as if he was about to reach a high level... tide, but who knew that it happened to run into the police to come in to check the room, and it almost didn't wilt.
"Damn, why isn't there anything behind!?"
In this regard, Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but scold between gritting his teeth, so he had to open the information and intelligence of the Chen family casually, after all, the Chen family is the representative of the most supportive of genetically modified crops, so they must have received some benefits, otherwise, how could the Chen family do this.
It's just that this piece of information about the Chen family made Xiao Yunfei a little disappointed, although it has very detailed information about each member of the Chen family, which naturally includes 'Zhi Gongzi' Chen Qing, but there is no evidence on it that can completely prove that the Chen family received the benefits of 'Black Sand' or Monsanto.
However, the information also states that the Chen family has close contacts with Monsanto, and there is no record of any agreement or content reached between the two parties.
"Chen family, Monsanto ......"
Turning off the files, Xiao Yunfei directly deleted the three documents from his computer, lit a cigarette casually, and smoked it quietly.
Monsanto has the shadow of the Rockefeller family behind him, and the Chen family has a close relationship with this Monsanto, and there is also the shadow of the members of the 'Black Sand', which must have a great connection with each other.
Moreover, what worries Xiao Yunfei the most is that the Rockefeller family is related to the 'Black Sand', or that the Rockefeller family is the same as the Bill family, they are all members of the 'Black Sand', if this is really the case, he really can't find a second expression except for a wry smile.
Call~~~!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunfei spit out a deep puff of smoke from his mouth, and nicotine couldn't make his whole person relax at all, and now he knew what it meant to dig deeper and deeper, and the more he dug the more terrifying he felt.
Obviously, he seemed to feel that this was the strongest strength of 'Black Sand', but when he dug into the back, he realized that what he saw now was only the tip of the iceberg......
……
The next morning.
When the warm sunlight shone in through the glass curtains, Xiao Yunfei opened his misty eyes, and realized that he didn't know when he fell asleep last night.
"You're finally up, I thought you'd sleep until noon!"
Lu Xinyao came out of the kitchen with white porridge, and when she heard Xiao Yunfei's door open, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yunfei with contempt, thinking: This bastard is just three minutes of heat, and he has only been up for a few days early, and he has started to be lazy! Looking at his listless appearance, it is estimated that there must have been too many planes last night!
Belch?
Stunned, Xiao Yunfei immediately looked up at the time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, but he didn't expect to oversleep.
"Why don't you hurry up and wash up and have breakfast!"
Although Lu Xinyao despised Xiao Yunfei very much, for the sake of him coming back with a kebab for himself last night, she still opened her mouth to remind him.
"Obey my wife!"
Xiao Yunfei gave a military salute in a funny way, but it was very standard, and before Lu Xinyao came to his senses, he had already run into the bathroom.
"Phew! The ghost is your wife! ”
Lu Xinyao's cheeks on both sides flushed with a faint flush, and she spat in a low voice that was not angry, but a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yunfei who was washing in the washroom, thinking of the things in Youjia last night and the car, her pretty face was even hotter red to the root of her ears.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Hey, you shouldn't have fallen into the toilet, haven't you come out for so long?"
Lu Xinyao has been waiting a little impatiently since she was on the chair, it takes so much time for a big man to wash up, it is even more troublesome than a woman!
But isn't this bastard doing it there...... Do something dirty, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Xinyao's pretty face, which had already returned to normal, couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of blush, and the whole person was delicate and beautiful, indescribably beautiful.
"Don't rush, I'm pulling Xiang!"
“……”
Lu Xinyao was speechless for a moment, and at the same time felt a burst of nausea, this bastard can't use civilized words before others have breakfast?
Bang bang......
Suddenly, a crisp knock came over, which made Lu Xinyao come back to her senses immediately, and couldn't help frowning, who would come knocking on the door in the morning?
Although she felt very puzzled in her heart, Lu Xinyao still walked over to open the door, but when the door opened, she couldn't help but be stunned all of a sudden.
