Vehicles were not the method of execution in the Holocaust- chemicals were, specifically Zyklon B- bit of difference there. IG Farben delivered chemical weapons that killed thousands of people. Monsanto's motive is questionable in my book and research into its ways deserve notice. Someone that has something to hide is going to put a face on it so it cannot be easily recognizable, until the mask comes off. I prefer faces without masks. I probably spot masks more readily cause growing up in politics, everyone had one. If you are promoting truth you don't need a mask. Monsanto is saying one thing and doing something else- mask. If there is something you like about Monsanto then post it, if it is a proven fact, and it is good, then after I check into it myself I might believe it.

GM genocide in India

What is happening to the butterflies and bees? Word on the street is GMO. If you saw the movie, The Bees, you would know this is the beginning of the end.

People killed themselves because of their business failures. The fact the GMO crops were involved is immaterial. An article like that would appeal to sound biters. Urban Dictionary: Author SWGB

He was making money, he was lured into using GMO seeds and they failed, he was in debt from buying them and lost everything. The root here is still a GMO crop. Apparently his previous crops were working, but he was promised more by using GMO and it didn't work.

How well did non-GM crops do during this time, what's the typical suicide rate in India traditionally, and how many of them are farmers? The seeds may be more expensive with potential for creating hardship when failures occur, but that's a far cry from blaming GM technology, and of course the term GM genocide is absurd.
Prince Charles and India’s ?GM Genocide? - Counterknowledge.com
According to New Scientist, ?more than 100,000 people kill themselves each year in India. Many of these deaths are of men who fall into debt, and one-fifth of all the suicides are farmers.? It is nothing new for anti-GM activists, including Prince Charles, to blame GM crops for these deaths: in 2005, Gene Campaign, an anti-GM group based in Delhi, was calling for legal action against India?s Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) for ?criminal negligence and willful suppression of facts in the Bt cotton case? [for Bt read GM]. But even they only cited ?several instances? of farmer suicides. Significantly though, Gene Campaign made some attempt at a scientific study:

GMO Food For Thought: Biotech Crops: Former U.S. President Carter Backs Biotechnology for Africa
Biotech Crops: Former U.S. President Carter Backs Biotechnology for Africa
Council for Biotechnology Information
July 8, 2007
Excerpt?
Jimmy Carter speaks out against anti-biotech "propaganda."
Growing biotech crops in Africa has gained another voice of support in former U.S. president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter.
In a speech in September at the United Nations University in Tokyo,1 Carter spoke about the need for further aid for sub-Saharan Africa. His goal in speaking was, "to address perhaps the most basic human right of all: for food to eat."
Carter spoke at length about the need for more aid targeted for agricultural development in Africa. He also made clear his objections to those who would keep the fruits of biotechnology out of the hands of people who need it most.
"We must combat the false propaganda of some European extremists who condemn the use of genetically modified seeds," Carter said. "Their misleading statements have been extremely damaging to Africa, where some misguided leaders have rejected such imports."
In 2002, several African countries debated whether to accept food aid ? including corn developed with biotechnology ? from the United States. In the end, only one country, Zambia, rejected the food aid outright. But the debate over the safety of biotech food that is eaten every day by North Americans continues as hunger becomes even more widespread in Africa?.

Okay, let me be very clear that I spoke with a friend and employee about this. He lives here. He told me first hand that this was due to the crops failing which were GMO, other farmers who felt taking on the debt was a bad idea had average yields from their non-GMO crops. It was not a weather anomaly.
