GMO's and intellectual property rights.

[kılıç_mehmet]

It has come to my attention that more renewed attempts to allow genetically modified seeds are trying to be legalized in my country once more. The public outcry on the last modifications regarding the laws on this subject has allowed imported GMO seeds to stay away from our earth, however, international corporations are actively pushing for it, not just in my country, but in many others to have their own seeds imported, and local producers crippled.

Now, I do not know how safe the consumption of the products that are grown from these seeds are, as I've been hearing various things around where such products have been known to cause health problems, and even resulted to deaths, even though indirectly.
Although these must be taken into consideration, these are not my primary concern.
Private organisations that produce such seeds are, in my opinion, quite the most lethal weapons in the world that we might have witnessed.

I think you might be guessing where I'm taking this.
The seeds, as you know, are subject to intellectual property laws.
As such, these seeds cannot be grown by any other than the main supplier, legally, at least. But the main supplier cannot actively investigate each and every farmer who uses their seed if they are not fucking them over by using some of the seeds of their yield of the year, so they put in a mechanism into the genes that render the seeds infertile, meaning, they do not produce any seeds from which further crops can be grown.

This is not only a blow to local variants of the crop, along with the traditional growers of the crop, it's a blow to the whole agriculture of the specific country in which these seeds are being spread.
How is this done?
For example, let's say that the seeds of a specific crop in a country are regulated by a specific arm of the government that deals with agriculture.
This arm also produces known, tested and verified variants of the crop, along with distributing them to the farmers, for small prices.
Then, privatisation sets in. Well, the international producers will likely seek to eliminate the local market. After taking over smaller manufacturers, and driving some out of business, who will be there to oppose them? With farmers already in their grasp, as they depend on the seeds that have the gene defect, they also have the country in their grasp, as people cannot survive without food.
If this country would face any kind of an international blockade, it would most certainly be ruined and left for dead in a matter of years.
This is what I'm talking about people. You do not need to do anything. No soldiers, no nukes, no nothing. Just leave them to starve.

What are your opinions?
