I know that there were also legal cases against North Dakota where court decision went against Monsanto.

With the death of all grasses that is occurring, Monsanto SHOULD be losing their legal cases!!

And thanks to R. for passing this on - MONSANTO is fond of checking out this blog to see what it posts. Perhaps they will now see some of us are onto them and hope that the full weight of the LAW says that they must stop destroying the earth. It's OUR earth, not THEIR Earth - profit$ be DAMNED.

I have been after MONSANTO full tilt since the laws were passed in Iraq that in reconstruction, MONSANTO seeds had to be used.

Yeah, right - like that's not a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

PRESS RELEASE - Press statement 19 March 2008

PERCY SCHMEISER OF CANADA RECEIVES COMPENSATION FROM MONSANTO

MONSANTO ACCEPTED FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR GENETIC CONTAMINATION.

Today (March 19, 2008), in an out-of-court agreement (settlement) between Percy Schmeiser and Monsanto - the sole responsibility for the genetic contamination of Schmeiser's RWS fields was accepted by Monsanto.

In an earlier court case, the highest Court of Justice of Canada had recognized the legal standard of the patent protection to Transgene Monsanto's, and this same high Court had at the same time transferred the fundamental question about the legality to issue a patent about "life and forms of life" to the Canadian parliament for re-valuation.

In accordance to earlier valid legal norms is the owner of the patent on a certain gene also the owner of the respective harvest. Concerning the parliament with this gene-patent-affair is still pending.

Since Schmeiser could prove at that time that he has never used genetically changed seeds of Monsanto nor the Total-herbicide Roundup Ready belonging to the Monsanto GM seeds, and he had no advantages from the pollution and contamination of his harvest, he was acquitted for compensation demands by Monsanto.

REMOVE THESE PLANTS PROFESSIONALLY

In the year 2005 Schmeiser found again Monsanto GM Rape plants (Canola Rape plants - Latin: Brassica napus) on his fields. He informed Monsanto and requested that the company removes the plants. Monsanto confirmed Schmeiser in writing that it concerns Roundup Ready raps which is the property of Monsanto. Referring to the existing judgment that the owner of a plant is also liable for plant contamination damages, Schmeiser ordered to remove these plants professionally and forwarded the removal cost invoice to Monsanto.

In earlier attempts to settlement out of court, Monsanto was not willing to pay the removal cost in the amount of 660$ -- Schmeiser subsequently sued the company.

"GAG AGREEMENT" TO BE SILENT

Monsanto would have paid for the contamination damage, but only under the special condition that Schmeiser would have signed a "gag agreement" to be silent over the damage case, which would have bared and voided the Right for him and/or his wife for the remainder of their life to ever speak about the case publicly or to ever again sue Monsanto for contamination of its harvest in the future before any court.

SCHMEISER REJECTED. THE DEMANDS RAISED BY MONSANTO ARE TOTALLY IMMORAL.

When the judge ask Monsanto why it has not simply paid the low amount of 660$, Monsanto-lawyer Richard W. Danyliuk answered, that there is a lot more involved than just $660.

One hour before the March 19. 2008 scheduled court hearing accepted Monsanto all demands of Percy Schmeiser and accepted its responsibility for the contamination on Schmeiser's [crop] fields.

Monsanto not only paid for the damage, but accepted also, that Schmeiser now reports and informs the public about the entire history of this case and to publicly express his opinion and position about this case.

The acceptance of responsibility by Monsanto, as the owner of the patented Transgene, for the contamination of neighboring fields - opens now for farmers on the entire planet the proper way for compensation demands at
Monsanto.
