A comment on Bayer confirms $66bn Monsanto takeover.

Many documentaries have been broadcasted on TV in France about Mosanto. It was depicted a the evil personified (like http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-world-according-to-monsan...). Most of this must be correct because no repeated broadcast has been prohibited.

Now, I wonder if this was a plot. Maybe Bayer has favored these broadcasts to reduce the cost of takeover. Maybe Bayer is worst than Mosanto. Welcome paranoia.

Well Monsanto is one of the companies that produced the chemical weapon Agent Orange, causing birth defects and death in Vietnam to this day, and the last time Bayer, a producer of poison gas in WWI, had a merger, the result was IG Farben, producer of Zyklon B. So what could go wrong?

I'm not sure that's a useful heuristic...

We all know Monsanto is not innocent of wrongdoing, but I'll bet 90% of what you read/hear about them is a complete misinterpretation or conspiracy theory.
