Occupy DC at McPherson Square celebrated their 6 month anniversary by switching sides and marching in support of the 1%. The Black Bloc Infiltrates the march halfway through and refrains from eating any of the 1% ers for lunch. Thank you Food Not Bombs.
The initial action of NOW DC ( http://NOWDC.org ) 100 or so people marched from Franklin Square to the Environmental Protection Agency to tell them to do their job for a change. Whistle blowers and industry insiders spoke to culture of STFU that has allowed corporations to rape the planet of resources for immediate financial profit with no consideration of the health of the future generations. http://www.occupyepa.com
Percy Schmeiser has been growing canola for 40 years. He's been experimenting, developing his own varieties, using his own seed. Then Monsanto, the giant multinational agro-chemical company that is at the forefront of developing genetically modified foods, accused him of patent infringement and demanded restitution for its seeds. They stole his plants, seeds & research because of cross pollenation with GMO plants that other people had planted within pollenaton range. If GMO's touch your crops... Monsanto owns your crop and will sue you. Pollenation is not containable. "I never put those plants on my land," says Schmeiser. "The question is, where do Monsanto's rights end and mine begin?"
Percy gives a full account of the specific alegations and breaks down the facts about GMO's in this 13 minute video.
