It appears that the rights of corporation have prevailed over the rights of people. HR 933 was approved and signed by President Obama. Tucked into a spending bill which was supposed to prevent government fiscal shutdown, most of those who voted for the bill were unaware of this “act” which was inserted by Missouri Senator Roy Blunt. With it's passage, the act effectively allows Monsanto the right to do whatever it wants.
In short this bill now gives Monsanto the right to plant Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) even if a federal court has ruled that the organism presents a danger to the environment. In other words, even if crops are clearly determined to be dangerous, they cannot be stopped because Monsanto has been given the authority to do as they wish. This legislation effectively gives Monsanto the right to override the government on this issue. I believe this is a very dangerous state of affairs and one which will have severe consequences.
