*** just a note to tell you Haarp was out big time today. We saw it in the clouds so watch out for tomorrow or the next day for geological or weather changes.
Vatic Note: Well, its about time someone stepped up to the plate and put a stop to BILL GATES' MONSANTO corporation. Now all we need is for someone to sue Gates' Blackwater and we just might retire Bill to the trash heap of history. Now that is a pleasing thought. Mr. "control the bodies of all humans on the planet" Gates. I am going down a rabbit hole on this man and am finding some pretty interesting stuff. He is so owned. lol Will publish it when I get it all together. In the meantime, keep up the good work, India. India leadership had to do something or I believe there was going to be a huge revolution there if they did not. I am surprised families of suicided farmers have not also sued Monsanto for killing their spouses or fathers as the case maybe for lying to them about the product they were forced to take that literally ruined these farmers financially. Thus they suicided themselves. Many such India farmers did this. There are seriously huge potential lawsuits if those families ever get over their grieving and can see the potential. Monsanto deserves nothing less.
India files biopiracy lawsuit against Monsanto, says biotech giant is stealing nature for corporate gain

NaturalNews) Representing one of the most agriculturally bio-diverse nations in the world, India has become a primary target for biotechnology companies like Monsanto and Cargill to spread their genetically-modified (GM) crops into new markets.
However, a recent France 24 report explains that the Indian government has decided to take an offensive approach against this attempted agricultural takeover by suing Monsanto for "biopiracy," accusing the company of stealing India's indigenous plants in order to re-engineer them into patented varieties.
Brinjal, also known in Western nations as eggplant, is a native Indian crop for which there are roughly 2,500 different unique varieties. Millions of Indian farmers grow brinjal, which is used in a variety of Indian food dishes, and the country grows more than a quarter of the world's overall supply of the vegetable.
And in an attempt to capitalize on this popular crop, Monsanto has repeatedly tried to commercially market its own GM variety of brinjal called Bt brinjal. But massive public outcry against planned commercial approval of Monsanto's "frankencrop" variety in 2010 led to the government banning it for an indefinite period of time.
But Monsanto is still stealing native crops, including brinjal, and quietly working on GM varieties of them in test fields, which is a clear violation of India's Biological Diversity Act (BDA). So at the prompting of various farmers and activists in India, the Indian government, representing the first time in history a nation that has taken such action, has decided to sue Monsanto.
"This can send a different message to the big companies for violating the laws of the nation," said K.S. Sugara, Member Secretary of the Karnataka Biodiversity Board, to France 24 concerning the lawsuit. "It is not acceptable ... that the farmers in our communities are robbed of the advantage they should get from the indigenous varieties."

Farmers and active members of the public in India have been some of the world's most outspoken opponents of Monsanto's attempted GM takeover of agriculture. Besides successfully overturning the attempted approval of Bt brinjal, these freedom fighters have also successfully destroyed several attempted Monsanto GM test fields.
