Default New Iraq Law Outlaws Saving Seeds! - Requires Licenses!

From rense.com:

"The (now former) American Administrator of the Iraqi CPA (Coalition
Provisional Authority) government, Paul Bremer,updated Iraq's intellectual
property law to 'meet current internationally-recognized standards of
protection.' (1)

The updated law makes saving seeds for next year's harvest, practiced by 97% of
Iraqi farmers in 2002, the standard farming practice for thousands of years
across human civilizations. (2)

Instead, farmers will have to obtain a yearly license (3) for genetically-
modified seeds from American corporations. These GM seeds have typically been
modified from IP developed over thousands of generations by indigenous farmers
like the Iraqis, shared freely like agricultural 'open source.' Other IP
provisions for technology in the law further integrate Iraq into the American IP
economy." (4), (5), (6)

As part of sweeping "economic restructuring" implemented by the Bush
Administration in Iraq, Iraqi farmers will no longer be permitted to save their
seeds. Instead, they will be forced to buy seeds from US corporations --
including seeds the Iraqis themselves developed over hundreds of years. That is
because in recent years, transnational corporations have patented and now own
many seed varieties originated or developed by indigenous peoples. In a short
time, Iraq will be living under the new American credo: Pay Monsanto, or starve.

Eegards,

KLM, just when I think you are a no good son of a gun, you post this very important news article.

I will make sure that many are made aware of this outrageous turn of events. How long before such suppliers as Seeds of Change, which sells open pollinated varieties, are deemed dangerous and forced to close shop?

If any of you should get ahold of seeds that say "Unauthorized propagation prohibited--U.S. Protected variety", then those seeds will most likely be good to save...so after you harvest your crop...save the seeds for next year. Bremer the Jewvandals is doing this in Iraq as a preparation for Amerikwastan...and especially in Californiastan where I live! Soon, unless we Whites stop this, you could be fined, jailed, your property taken or even executed for saving your seeds. 10000 years of Civilization gone in one Executive Order from the Jewvandal-led ZigZog Govt. You all know of course that Osama bin Bush is a Jew and is a 9th cousin to John bin Kerry ibn Kohn

"presidents" who were Jews

Teddy Roosevelt (distant cousin to FDR)
Woodrow Wilson??
FDR!!!
Harry S Truman??
Dwight D. Ike the Kike Eisenhower, the murderer of 3 million Germans!
Lyndon Baines Johnson!!!
George H. W. Bush
Osama bin Bush (2000-2009!!!)

Heard enough?! Well, this is the honest to God truth!!!
