HONOUR BOUND



Teen girl buried alive by family members

An autopsy has found that a 16-year-old Turkish girl was buried alive in her family's garden.
She was reportedly killed by her family for having male friends.

Dozens of so-called honour killings take place every year in Turkey, despite efforts by the government to stamp out the practice.

BRAVE NEW WORLD

Forbes magazine appears to be on drugs

Forbes has declared Monsanto “Company of the Year,” calling criticism of the notorious company “vicious” attacks against a company that “has been working to make humanity better fed.”

What’s more, Forbes claims that the attacks come because Monsanto has close to a monopoly in some seed markets, which Forbes argues is because they are making “seeds that are too good.”

You read that right. Apparently, Monsanto’s decades-long attempt to control the seed market -- which has led it lawsuits against small farmers and genetically modified plants that never regerminate, forcing farmers to buy seeds year after year -- is apparently just a result of their being “too good.”

I encourage you all to BOYCOTT Forbes and cancel any subscription you may have.
