Agricultural giant Monsanto is a serial killer. Since they began developing the carcinogenic glyphosate-based herbicide ‘Roundup’ in the 1970’s and GMO seeds in the 1980’s – millions of people around the world have died as a direct result of their toxic products.
Following an avalanche of lawsuits and criticism from world leaders, the agricultural giant decided to quietly change its name in an attempt to fool consumers into thinking they are no longer being exposed to their dangerous products.

On Thursday, German drugmaker and chemical company Bayer finalized its $66 billion deal to acquire Monsanto and rebrand (in name only).
Businessinsider.com reports: In a statement on Monday, Bayer said it planned to drop Monsanto’s 117-year-old title and would henceforth be known only as Bayer.
“Bayer will remain the company name. Monsanto will no longer be a company name,” the company said. “The acquired products will retain their brand names and become part of the Bayer portfolio.”
The name drop appears to be part of a strategic move geared at distancing the new behemoth from negative publicity surrounding Monsanto and genetically modified organisms.
First announced in September 2016 as part of a move designed to boost agricultural research and innovation, the merger will be the largest acquisition in Bayer’s history and double the size of its farm business.
Distancing itself from the Monsanto label
You can’t utter the name Monsanto in public and not be met with at least one stink eye.For decades, the company has been met with public outrage and disgust linked to its history of controversial dealings with farmers and its standout role in popularizing GMOs. This spring, Monsanto landed a spot on a well-known list of the 20 most hated companies in America.
The decision to drop the Monsanto moniker, then, is no huge surprise.
On a call with reporters on Monday, Liam Condon, the head of Bayer’s crop-science division, said Monsanto had “actually itself considered changing its name” at one time, but elected “not to do that, apparently for cost reasons.”
Still, Condon said, “it was an issue for some time for Monsanto management … to try to improve the Monsanto brand.”
“We’re extremely proud of all we’ve accomplished as Monsanto and are eager to continue to accelerate innovation in agriculture as we look forward to a future under Bayer,” Christi Dixon, Monsanto’s public-relations lead, said in a statement to Business Insider, adding that in the interim, while Monsanto operates independently of Bayer, “it will be business as usual for us, including our company name.”
Monsanto is also moving to invest more deeply in advanced tools for gene editing, a process that can be capitalized on for agricultural purposes to make cheaper but higher-quality produce. Many companies are moving away from tweaking crops’ DNA with GMOs and other crude methods of genetic modification in favor of more precise techniques like Crispr.
In March, Monsanto put $125 million behind the gene-editing startup Pairwise, a company whose founder, Haven Baker, told Business Insider he aimed to bring the first fruit tweaked with Crispr to grocery-store shelves — a development he expects in five to 10 years. Tom Adams, who was Monsanto’s vice president of global biotechnology, left to become the CEO of Pairwise this spring.

NAZI , murderers
Just as easy to despise Bayer, I guess.
It sure is since they will continue where Monsanto left off.
Many countries like China and Russia have banned the importation of GE products like soybeans and wheat, but I see that China has just agreed to take US soybeans.
roundup has killed many people s pets too , their dogs and cats and their livestock as well as wildlife Millions and millions of things killed.
Nice lie. Got any proof?
Oh no! The Monsnato operative wants proof.
shill gambit invalid response.
Still trying to spin away the Monsanto genocide, eh, Eric.
Genocide requires dead folks and stuff like cemeteries and mass graves. Also, causative mechanisms. like guns and Auschwitz. They also generate stuff called evidence as regards the items mentioned.
People are getting sick and dying everyday from the serious health issues caused by cancer causing glyphosate laden GMOs that are purposely hidden from food buyers in the North American food supply.
See: Genetically engineered crops, glyphosate and the deterioration of health in the United States of America ISSN 1177-4258
Correlation crap with no causation posted for the 835th time. Still stupid. Laden? nope. cancer causing No again.
That was a statistical analysis of government epidemiological data that shows extremely high probability that the correlations are true. Then there is the overwhelming anecdotal data coming from medical offices all over North America that show many patients serious unexplained medical issues disappear or get much better when they dump cancer causing glyphosate laden GMO foods and switch to a clean healthy organic food diet.
You ought to try it. It might help you get rid of your delusional hallucinations.
There is no anecdotal data. There is no such thing. so still just correlation with cell phone use couch potato-ism and organic food sales
No, Eric there is a massive amount of anecdotal data with more coming everyday. You can keep lying for Bayer-Monsanto all day, but it won’t change those facts that you keep trying to lie and spin away.
If you have an analysis of government epidemiological data to support your claims about couch potato-ism and organic food sales please post it here. I won’t hold my breath because we all know that it is only your attempt to divert from the facts with your bogus strawman issues.
Anecdotes are not data. Lies about anecdotes like that occurring are even worse.
The anecdotal data supports and reinforces the finding in the statistical analysis of the government epidemiological data, Eric. Open your eyes. You are making a fool of yourself with your continual denial in the face of the facts.
Looks like they are going to delete links. So, here it is without the link. and you are now caught in another lie there vermin boy. That link mentioned above is not to “gov’t epidemiological dats” It is to correlational crap produced by Nancy swanson for the journal of organic systems. Here is the actual link.
No, Eric. It is a statistical analysis of government epidemiological data. It was done by expert statisticians and it clearly support the overwhelming anecdotal data from medical offices all over North America.
Statistical analysis producing correlational crap. showing no causation. done by nancy swanson for an organic journal.
Nope. a statistical analysis of government epidemiological data that was done by expert statisticians and scientists of which Nancy Swanson was only one.
You can keep lying forever but it won’t change the facts one little bit, Eric.
The facts are that your crap is correlational, and you are lying about the irrelevant anecdotes.
Tell us, specifically, where I lied, Eric.
You are trolling now.
Causative mechanism?????????????????? get lost ted.
So you can’t support your false claim that I lied, Eric.
Thanks for proving my points again.
All my claims have been supported. You still have no causative mechanism and nothing but correlation that is shared by many other possibilities.
You, Eric. Your lies have not been supported. They have been exposed so that all readers here can see the depth of your clueless mind controlled ignorance that is so typical of the biased biotech chemical industry troll sycophants that are dispatched to these threads to disrupt the truthful flow of information by posting lies, industry propaganda, and harrassment like you have been doing here.
shill gambit, invalid response.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Claiming that Swanson was an expert statistician and scientist is a pretty big lie.
No one believes your blatant pro-agrochemical industry propaganda, Eric. Anyone who spends as much time trolling social media on behalf of the agrochemical industry is clearly an industry spokesperson and propagandist. You have zero credibility, and even less integrity.
By that reasoning you are the most diligent industry spokesperson on the internet.
No, Eric. You are disconnected from reality. Get some help soon.
Whatever you say, Eric. But I’m not the one promoting and defending transnational agrochemical industry corporations. That would be you. 24/7 day in and day out. Do you have a real job, or is this it?
Is this all you do for a living Eric? Did you quit your day job to shill on these forums for big Ag? How much do they pay you to do this? It must be good since we see you on here as often as we do.
I see this guy trolling social media articles on GMO 24/7. If he isn’t a paid troll, he must be mentally unbalanced.

But there is another connection between the Rockefeller Family and the medical and drug combine today. That is an ethnic connection. The World’s largest chemical drug company is Monsanto, recently purchased by Bayer Germany, which was a subsidiary of Monsanto. Interesting Monsanto is an Edomite Jew owned corporation. J.D. Rockefeller was an Edomite Jew with Jewish ancestors several generations back. The Rockefeller family is also connected to the Rothchild family, the creators of the Federal Reserve and Central Banking around the World. Ownership of the drug mfg. companies all owned and controlled by Edomite Jews.
On 1/13/1489, Chemoil Rabbi of Arles in Provence France wrote to the Grand Sanhedrin, which had its seal in Constantinoble for advice, as the people of Arles were threatening the Synagogues, What should the Jews do? As for what you say about their making attempts on your lives: make your sons Doctors and Apothecaries, that they may take away Christian Lives. Signed vssvff, Prince of the Jews 21 Caslue Nov.1489
Neither one paid any taxes just like AmazonGoogleMcDonaldsUber… They’re CORPORATIONS so won’t pay climatechange tax.

Bayer is a
subsidiary of Monsanto so Bayer should drop its name. They want 95% of humans dead. Then it’s easy to contol who remains.
Complete nonsense. Glyphosate is not a carcinogen and any idiot should know that by now.
That is a lie.
Both the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization have declared glyphosate to be a probable human carcinogen. In addition to IARC, more than 166 scientists signed a consensus agreement in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health attesting to the soundness of the IARC classification.
Monsanto’s own scientists told them Roundup/glyphosate caused cancer over 35 years ago. Instead of disclosing that fact, they colluded with the EPA who approved glyphosate over the objections of their own staff scientists and called the science “inconvenient” and hid the science away from other scientists, the courts, and the people as a trade secret while at the same time telling us it was safe.
Monsanto’s 1981 glyphosate study in rats by Lankas & Hogan shows that Glyphosate causes malignant LYMPHOMA … Glyphosate-induced Malignant Lymphoma particularly in the female rats. These malignant lymphomas were found ONLY in the treated animals and found in fourteen different types of tissue. The controls animals did not have any lymphomas.
well ted, you aren’t just any idiot. You are SPECIAL kind of idiot. 1981? Why no replication by serralini and the rest of the anti types? 17 years of hate and no replication. Why no clusters among applicators. Why the lie about the Who?. Then there is always the dishonest way in which the IARC classification was arrived at.
Name calling and calling the IARC, which is the most respected cancer research agency on the planet, dishonest only shows us the depth of your mind controlled ignorance, Eric. Seralini has nothing do do with the Monsanto Lankas and Hogan study.
Forbes, Reuters and several others have posted articles showing the gross negligence of IARC.
Forbes publishes pay to play propaganda blogs for the biotech chemical industry. Reuters publishes new articles on many subjects, and many times news articles are based on false information and propaganda. Many articles have been posted that support the IARC position on glyphosate which has the overwhelming support on independent scientist who are not captives of the industry they work for.
Post that serralini crap.
Stop while your ahead, Eric. Nobody is talking about Seralini here. Have you completely lost touch with reality?
OH, those ancient ones that nobody replicated. Why? Because they know that no cancer will be shown.
They were not replicated because the EPA allowed Monsanto to hide the study as a trade secret. It is the smoking gun.
If it was hidden. How did you find out? why have you been copying and pasting the same claim for years. Years in which the studies could have been replicated. The only smoking going on here is in your basement.
It was released under the FOIA over a year after a request was made by a scientist who has used the study data in testimony before federal and state government organizations. The study is still a trade secret. You can make your request under FOIA act and get a copy to examine for yourself, not that you have the ability to understand it or critique it intellegently.
Then there has been time to replicate. Assuming you are telling the truth. Haahahahahahaha
Nobody can replicate something that don’t have access to, Eric. Even you should be bright enough to figure that out.
If they can’t get access. ?then neither can you. thus you have no information upon which to base your claims. And no causative mechanism.
You really need to educate yourself about the issues and rules involved with the FOIA, Eric. Post more ignorance is not going to win the day for you here.
Hahahaha, you are a dunce. You can either all get enough info to replicate and draw conclusions or you don’t. No eaty the cakey.
Sit in your ignorance then, Eric. Nobody really cares what you think about anything.
Either replicate or quit making the dishonest claims.
Go soak your head in a bucket of “safe” Roundup/glyphosate, Eric.
Everyone can see that I have posted the truth and supported it with facts.
I think I’ll wait until shower time and then use a surfactant designed as a shampoo.
Standard Monsnto opertive LIE.
Get lost ted.
Get help for your serious mental health issues, Eric.
stupid comment ted.
Your ignorance and failure to recognize your own serious mental health issues is what is stupid here, Eric. You don’t even know who your talking to here.
basement dwelling ted
Thanks for again showing the readers that my claims are correct, Eric.
Nothing could show that.
You already have, Eric.
Oh look, now he wants to play the “Ted” game. lol
Actually, you’re the idiot who thinks it’s not.
You can never convince Eric with facts. His mind is as dense as a piece of granite.
The following organisations have concluded that glyphosate is most likely not a human carcinogen.
European Chemicals Agency
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),
Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations – World Health Organisation Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR)
Plus regulatory agencies from countries including Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand.
So Stoppy do you think these organisations are run by idiots? or is the more likely concussion that you a cosmetic salesperson doesn’t know what she is talking about?
Most people are taken in by a list of political organizations, many of which have been captured and corrupted like the US EPA.
Science organizations like the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization have declared glyphosate to be a probable human carcinogen. In addition to IARC, more than 166 scientists signed a consensus agreement in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health attesting to the soundness of the IARC classification.
And your proof of this is? Yeah you have none, and the size of the conspiracy you are claiming is simply to big to exist.
The World Health Organization has concluded that glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans from exposure through diet. Who cares what 166 scientists concluded, there are millions of scientists in the world.
The proof is in the fact that the regulatory organizations in many countries have been captured and corrupted by the same forces that have compromised the US agencies like the EPA, FDA, USDA, and so many others.
The World Heath Organization official position is the same as the IARC. Glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen. Your misrepresented claim was generated by an ag industry dominated committee of the WHO and this report has not been accepted as the WHO’s official position.
Nice try!
LOL the proof is in a conspiracy to big to exist, you are dumb.
The U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization (WHO) at a joint meeting said glyphosate is “unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans”
You are lying ROBIN, nice try but you lose.
That was is the committee of the WHO who issued that report. The WHO has not accepted that report as their official position, which is, glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen. You already know this, but apparently, you think deception is needed to sell your industry propaganda. You, and who supports your time here, are the losers, because the truth always trumps propaganda spewed by industry sockpupppet idiots
Are you still talking to me? you already lost this argument, you tried to use a world wide conspiracy to big to exist and a misrepresentation of the WHOs position on glyphosate as your main arguments, you failed.
You are the one who posted false misleading claims so that makes you the loser, EFFNNELL. Anyone can easily verify the facts that Robin posted are true and that your claims are lies.
If you truly believed that you would have left my comments there for everyone to verify, instead you took the cowardly route and flagged my posts into moderation. I win the argument, my posts may be gone but you and I both know it.

Typical industry PR troll attempts to confuse and deceive people by posting lies.
Ted, you are the only industry supported sock puppet here.
Look! Another idiot who can’t see past the fact that the so called organisations he’s posted are biased, have conflicts of interests and or financial ties to the industry.
Look another idiot who believes in a world wide conspiracy. Stick with selling cosmetics Stoppy.
It’s not a conspiracy. This is what you industry whipped, brainwashed idiots can’t understand. I don’t sell cosmetics and my name isn’t Stoppy. You need some serious help.
Your real name isn’t Stoppy, but your nickname certainly is. Its a well earned nickname, given to you after years of moronic comments made about a subject you have no clue about. The name was given to you by a well regarded scientist who took the time to try and teach you to understand the topic, unfortunately for everyone her teaching failed, one of the few instances where the student can be blamed, not the teacher.
Apparently, you are here stalking S.G.. Nothing being discussed here has anything to do with your abusive supercilious adolescent rant. Your assumed authority reaks of rotting fish. It is obvious you are a troll who is clueless about the issues we are discussing here.
Stalking S.G, LOL that would be a fruitless endeavor. Funny how this “troll who is clueless” bested you in this debate.
LOL!! Only in the deluded world of industry PR troll EFFNNELL. Everyone else can see that all you have is abusive harassment and lies.
It’s obviously not my real name nor my nickname. lol You are such a dunce! Stoppy has no meaning except in your little minds it does. lol It’s a name you imbeciles decided to start calling me. It’s like if I started calling you EFFN’OFF. Would that make it your nickname? No! lol Mary Mangan the pseudo-scientist is an idiot and so are you. It sounds like you’ve been taught by a very bad teacher yourself.
Classic Stoppy meltdown, can I suggest you drop the “N” from my nickname? EFF’OFF sounds better.
It’s not at all a meltdown. You wish. Sure, I can start calling you EFF’OFF since you should on so many occasions, no problem there. lol
Good to see you have calmed down Stoppy, throwing tantrums never gets you anywhere,
It’s funny you assume that. You do a lot of that, don’t you? lol
Tantrums? How old are you?! lol
It’s how these conglomerate corporations roll, quietly and deceitfully are only 2 of many words that accurately describe them.
Well, since heroin was invented by Bayer in an attempt to make a stronger morphine, this does not surprise me.
