νέες αποκαλύψεις στη δίκη της Μonsanto για το Roundup από έγγραφα που αποκαλύφθηκαν στη δική.
Οι Αμερικάνοι φόρτωσαν στη Bayer την εταιρεία και τώρα την ξεσκίζουν στα δικαστήρια. Τώρα οι γερμανοί έχουν το άχαρο καθήκον να υπερασπίζονται τη γλυφωσάτη
Monsanto planned a series of “actions” to attack a book authored by Gillam prior to its release, including
writing “talking points” for “third parties” to criticize the book and
directing “industry and farmer customers” on how to post negative reviews.
Monsanto paid Google to promote search results for “Monsanto Glyphosate Carey Gillam” that criticized her work. Monsanto PR staff also internally discussed placing sustained pressure on Reuters, saying they “continue to push back on [Gillam’s] editors very strongly every chance we get”, and that they were hoping “she gets reassigned”.
Monsanto “fusion center” officials wrote a
lengthy report about singer Neil Young’s anti-Monsanto advocacy, monitoring his impact on social media, and at one point considering “legal action”. The fusion center also
monitored US Right to Know (USRTK), a not-for-profit, producing weekly reports on the organization’s online activity.
Monsanto officials were repeatedly worried about the release of documents on their
financial relationships with scientists that could support the allegations they were “covering up unflattering research”.
The internal communications add fuel to the ongoing claims in court that Monsanto has “bullied” critics and scientists and worked to conceal the dangers of glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide. In the last year, two US juries have ruled that Monsanto was liable for plaintiffs’ non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a blood cancer, and ordered the corporation to pay significant sums to cancer patients.
Bayer has continued to assert that glyphosate is safe.https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... neil-young
