Armenian-American singer-songwriter, soloist of the metal band System of a Down, activist Serj Tankian has warned Armenia against Monsanto operation in the country’s agriculture sector, for cultivating genetically engineered seeds, which is claimed to alter the natural make-up of seeds to make crops resistant to pesticides and herbicides.
“Armenia please stay free and clear of Monsanto. There is ample proof that Monsanto’s sprays have poisoned our environment contributing drastically to dying off of bees. Their predatory genetically modified products spell the end of pure organic foods. They are bad for you and taste horrible to say the least.,” Tankian wrote on his Facebook page.
To remind, days ago the US Embassy in Armenia announced organized a business conference focused on Armenia’s agriculture sector with a goal to connect Armenian companies involved in the sector with the expertise, products, and technology of well-known U.S. companies Valmont and Monsanto. The Embassy informed Valmont and Monsanto sent representatives to the conference to present their products and services and to learn about business opportunities in Armenia.
Tankian suggested that Monsanto is known as “an evil corporation in the US and Europe” for all their practices. “When I’m in Armenia and bite into an apple, it’s pure, crisp and delicious. From thousands of years of agriculture and cultivation. Let it remain so, please. I can’t find apples like that in the US thanks to Monsanto,” Tankian wrote.
Serj is spot on! Smarten up people and do NOT let companies such as Monsanto get a foothold in Armenia. This would be an agricultural suicide from which Armenia won’t be able to recover ever again. Monsanto and the American government couldn’t care less about you or your children’s health, they never had and never will. All these western charlatans are interested in, is controlling the world’s food supply and make tons of $$$ off of your hungry belly while killing you slowly. They will commit an agronomical genocide on the Armenian people without batting an eyelash by men in three-piece suits and you’ll end up paying them dearly with your life in a slow slaughter ( do you still wonder why one out of three people will be diagnosed with cancer?). Monsanto is NOT an upright company, They will sell you their ungodly, tampered with, GMO-ed seeds, otherwise known as, glyphosate (roundup) ready seeds, so that when these DNA crazy crops are sprayed with deadly pesticides and herbicides these dangerous seeds miraculously survive by killing weeds alright, but they will also kill you and your children with horrible diseases down the road of doom after consuming these cursed crops. Additionally, through winds and rain, as a bonus, they will destroy all of the neighboring wholesome non-GMO farmlands of Armenia. We still haven’t recovered from the first genocide, let’s not allow a second genocide to take place on Armenian plateau with our own ignorant consent. Educate yourself. Empower yourself. Voice your opinion and guide your politicians.
