Russia Warns Obama: Monsanto
Posted: May 28, 2013
The shocking minutes relating to President Putin’s meeting this past week with US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal the Russian leaders “extreme outrage” over the Obama regimes continued protection of global seed and plant bio-genetic giants Syngenta and Monsanto in the face of a growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most certainly” lead to world war.
According to these minutes, released in the Kremlin today by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation (MNRE), Putin was so incensed over the Obama regimes refusal to discuss this grave matter that he refused for three hours to even meet with Kerry, who had traveled to Moscow on a scheduled diplomatic mission, but then relented so as to not cause an even greater rift between these two nations.
At the center of this dispute between Russia and the US, this MNRE report says, is the “undisputed evidence” that a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically related to nicotine, known as neonicotinoids, are destroying our planets bee population, and which if left unchecked could destroy our world’s ability to grow enough food to feed its population.

I will be adding local contact information of public officials that you can call, email fax or write to address your concerns regarding the bees. Please check back for updated information.
At this time we are talking with farmers & working to put together a petition to stop the use of neonicotinoids in Canada for everyone to be able to sign. We will update this post in the days to follow with a link for an international petition. Check back here for new information added to this post or LIKE the page & follow our future posts.
We need to work together to protect our pollinators and end the deaths caused by neonicotinoids and other harmful pesticides that are killing not only our honey bees but also our songbirds, butterflies, fish and many other lives lost. Do we want to coat our food seeds in this deadly toxin and eat it or feed it to our livestock? No, we don't. We must all find a solution to this before it is too late and for this reason there needs to be a moratorium in place to suspend and/or ban the use of these deadly pesticides and further study the impact.
**I feel it is very necessary to raise the question "Why is this not being reported?" This happened just down the road. There is virtually nothing in local & mainstream media about this catastrophic die off. Something of this magnitude should be global headline news. I urge you & your friends to please forward this story to your local media... EVERYWHERE! Search results using Google News "Elmwood Ontario bees" only produces 3 hits. This story needs to go mainstream/viral & be picked up by media. Thankfully it will get the attention of many outraged connected users via social networking & blogging or this would continue to remain silent.
UPDATE RE MEDIA: Thankful that after 24 hour and some shaking the hive, media locally anyways is starting to pay attention. This story is now hitting CBC, CTV and I would expect others. With more people becoming aware of this issue and speaking out in defence of the bees and everything else being affected by these deadly posions governments will have no choice but to listen and act.
Thank you all for your support. Please like the links of the farms we mention to show your support directly to those on the front lines, our farmers!
