“It’s difficult to separate the fact that while these brands are showcasing pedigree social responsibility, ultimately they are helping refugees because it sells milky lattes and cheap holiday accommodation. They can see that allocating their marketing budget to good causes has a better reach than spending that money elsewhere right now.”

“The 66 million-dollar merger between Monsanto and Bayer has a lot of people watching. The potential legalization of marijuana also has a lot of people watching, including the CEOs of Monsanto and Bayer…and George Soros.
The merger, as reported time and again is the largest agricultural merger of all times. The Bayer-Monsanto merger will result in a 29 percent ownership of the global seed market and a quarter of the pesticide market. If you throw in the other giants DuPont and Dow with their own merger and Syngenta, 64 percent of the world’s pesticides and seed market are controlled by these three corporations alone.
The monopoly on our international agriculture has been a hot topic for debate. Monsanto continually proclaims their innocence, while the world protests accordingly.
Now, with the latest tug-of-war debate about the legalization of marijuana – even if just for medicinal purposes – has piqued the interests of the Bayer-Monsanto conglomerate.”
