I actually like RT. I use it as a medium to counter all the American propaganda spreading Russophobia, which is precipitating a cold war.

America's fear of Russia is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Americans over the last decade have elevated Russia by making them seem to be an existential threat, when in fact they're so much weaker economically and militarily than the US and its allies. In return, instead of trying to improve relations with the US, Russia has become fiercely anti-Western and anti-American as a reaction to the perceived saber rattling and incremental incursion into Russia's sphere of influence. In other words, Russia became an enemy of the US because the US thought they were an enemy.

Jaibharat is a good nationalist. One that will criticize his nation actively instead of praying towards it.

No you praise me too much. I just want leaders who have some common sense in foreign policy!!

Who's actually going to start a war with the US? You think Putin has the time or money to waste fighting a world war with us? Come on. Its hogwash, and its absolutely clear politicians only cater to big military spending to appease defense companies and to keep all those Pentagon bureaucrats with jobs. Its disgusting that they don't understand that American lives are lost when we go on stupid wars. Conservatives can't be anti-government and then want a big military. Its illogical and hypocritical.

In my ignorant, un-political, uninformed view..

If any country starts a war with another one the US is going to stick its nose in it.. Which will make other countries join in.. WW1 effect basically

Monsanto

I agreed with most the groups you listed. But why Monsanto? If it's because of GMOs, those aren't necessarily bad on their own. It just depends on how the technology is used.

To be fair, Monsanto is also involved in some shady deals regarding the deforestation around here.

But then again, they are doing us a favor. They illegally take land while reporting other illegaly taken land. The land they take is smaller than what everyone else together does, and they make actually productive farms that give us the $$$ while the other farms built around here are shitpiles uncapable of producing anything.

Well, the name being "ORGANIZATION", I'd expect the very first and probably only prerequisite is for it to be ORGANIZED, which automatically excludes PETA. I might be wrong, though.

I just don't trust large scale biotechnology companies trying to whole-sale apply genetically modified technology into the foods we eat without having to legally place all the detailed information on the packaging labels (unlike in Europe).

They also have a nasty litigation history of going after small farmers who don't pay their royalty fees for their patented seeds, even if they were simply windblown.

Lastly they're one of the biggest agricultural lobbyists in the US ($6.3 million in 2011) and are a hugely responsible for the irresponsible farm bills that get passed every year that give out huge subsidies to giant agribusiness companies. They're just shady in my opinion.

Monsanto is one of the most dangerous organization. I am happy to be living in a country where their products are still forbidden or severely regulated (this may not be for long if TTIP is finally enforced limiting our freedom). GMO not dangerous? Try to inform yourself better before listening to some brainwashing propaganda, the same propaganda neglecting the existence of global warming.

Oh bull. If there was counter-global warming propaganda you wouldn't see the huge amount of belief in it. I think oil money could definitely cause a bigger dent in belief than this.

If you’re 29, there has been no global warming for your entire adult life. If you’re graduating high school, there has been no global warming since you entered first grade. There has been no global warming this century. None.

— Mark Steyn

But we’re responsible for all the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect? Gracious no! Humans can only claim responsibility, if that’s the word, for about 3.4% of carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere annually, the rest of it is all natural…
— Steven Milloy

The e-mails reveal that leading climate “experts” deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to “hide the decline” in global temperatures, and tried to silence their critics by preventing them from publishing in peer-reviewed journals. What’s more, the documents show that there was no real consensus even within the CRU crowd. Some scientists had strong doubts about the accuracy of estimates of temperatures from centuries ago, estimates used to back claims that more recent temperatures are rising at an alarming rate.

Ah, so you guys have a beef with Monsanto due to GMOs... /disappointed

There was never any evidence that GMOs are truly dangerous, that is more than enough for me to trust it. If no one can really prove it is a danger, even with so many people suspicious, then itlikely is NOT a danger. I do agree they need to be marked though, so if you don't like them, just don't buy them.

Most people around here don't even give a shit about GMOs, but they all hate Monsanto due to the deforestation cause by their farms. But they actually help because they find a way to remove the small properties (much more damaging to the forest due to unwise use of the land) and latifundia (burns trees, takes up space, nearly improductive) in the outer amazon for their own megafarms, which we make a good penny from.

Yes there are people who don't believe in it. Does it make it propaganda to not believe in something that doesn't have proof?

Stop trying to twist the truth. There is propaganda here, pro-global warming propaganda that tries to drown out all other voices and often succeeds reducing those who criticize it to a hated and ignored status.

Zeph I never said I had a beef only because of GMOs, I am aware of deforestation, and still do not understand your position about destroying the Amazonian forest, rare fauna and indigenous cultures, for what? Tell me.

As for GMOs there are been many studies already you may not know them at all or ignore them, but GMOs have been proven to be the direct cause to an increase of gluten intolerance or allergies in America, tumours, birth defects due to glyphosate as well as a link with parkinson, Alzheimer or autism.

This is called propaganda major, particularly if it is conveyed by politicians sadly listened by millions of people.
