A History of the World's Most Evil Corporation

Of all the mega-corps running amok, Monsanto has consistently outperformed its rivals, earning the crown as “most evil corporation on Earth!” Not content to simply rest upon its throne of death, atop a mountain of rotting corpses, it remains focused on newer, more scientifically innovative ways to harm the planet and its people.

As true champions of evil, they won’t stop until…well, until they’re stopped! But what is Monsanto and how did they get to be so obscenely evil in the first place? I think that’s the best place to start this journey, so grab a few non-GMO snacks or beverages and let’s go for a ride into the deep, murky sewers of their dark past.

1901: The company is founded by John Francis Queeny, a member of the Knights of Malta, a thirty year pharmaceutical veteran married to Olga Mendez Monsanto, for which Monsanto Chemical Works is named. The company’s first product is chemical saccharin, sold to Coca-Cola as an artificial sweetener.

Even then, the government knew saccharin was poisonous and sued to stop its manufacture but lost in court, thus opening the Monsanto Pandora’s Box to begin poisoning the world through the soft drink.

At 325mg a day, I was bleeding internally and had to quit taking it to stop bleeding. Not only that, but I was bruising just picking things up and my fingers and toes were hurting horribly. For some of us, aspirin is dangerous. Yet, doctors are still putting people on the daily aspirin regimen left and right, without regard to the fact that some of us have had a past with ulcers and other bleeding problems. Yes, aspirin is dangerous.

the article makes out like it's just nasty evil stuff. it was the original miracle drug and it's still a miracle drug. some people have sensitivities to it, so as with all medications you can't just give it to everybody and expect 100% universally positive responses.

you and i can't take it, but that doesn't make it toxic or evil and it's odd to see it included here as if the company is evil for making it.

I guess for some of us it is toxic, but for others it works great, same as some other medications. Prozac didn't work for me, but Zoloft did. For others, it's probably the other way around or something else entirely. Doesn't mean it's evil or anything. I missed that exact wording before.
