Israel, Glyphosate, and Seed Monopolies: Multi-front Biological Warfare on Lebanon

As videos surfaced of “israeli” planes spraying unknown chemical substances on agricultural lands in south Lebanon, reports confirmed that the substance that was sprayed was the notorious Glyphosate herbicide which was at concentrations of 20 to 30 times above the normal levels.

Glyphosate is an extremely harmful and carcinogenic herbicide, originally produced by the Monsanto corporation, but now produced under the auspices of Bayer due to the 2018 Monsanto-Bayer merger.

Monsanto is a notorious chemical company known for its production of chemical weapons. Its early days involved it as one of the many firms that contributed to the Manhattan Project to produce the atomic bomb. Later, it produced Agent Orange which was used in Vietnam, which still causes birth defects among the population to this day. It also produced white phosphorous, an incendiary chemical weapon which burns flesh down to the bone. Monsanto sold white phosphorous to the US and “israeli” militaries, where it was used on countless countries like Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Monsanto has a peculiar history going back before its founding. The company’s founder, John Francis Queeny, set up the company in 1901. Interestingly, he named the company after his wife, Olga Mendez Monsanto. The significance of this is that Olga is a descendant of the Sephardic Jewish Monsanto dynasty. They migrated to present-day Louisiana where they were prominent traders and helped to establish the Jewish community in Louisiana.

We are led to believe the same company that has produced death and misery for millions of people around the world through the production of chemical weapons suddenly becomes altruistic and humane when it comes to their role in the food supply, that they have no evil motives whatever and everything they produce in the food industry is safe for human consumption.

Our debut publication in January 2022 was an exclusive interview with Iranian scientist of medical biotechnology and genetic engineering, Dr. Ali Karami, a professor at Baqiyatollah University. Despite himself being an expert in gene editing, he is opposed to the Monsanto corporation and to the current generation of GMO technology (as he believes next-generation methods are promising in terms of safety). Dr. Karami is clearly an authority on this subject.

I have said many times that I am not opposed to GMO technology, but I am a critic of the hasty development of people’s food without full confidence in GM crops’ effects on human health, livestock, the environment, genetic diversity, and the fate of living things and the planet.

It is a big lie that transgenic advocates, especially transgenic seed companies, claim that farms cannot feed the world’s growing population without growing transgenics, because food is now being produced for more than ten billion people worldwide.

They are falsifying documents to trade transgenic seeds and carcinogenic herbicides because the seed and food trade is so lucrative. It is even more painful that they are using food tools to control governments and nations.

Additionally, if you are looking for the truth, then be sure to read this book about how many lies have been told to us: Altered Genes, Twisted Truth (with 1150 References).

There are many scientific papers on the harms and dangers of long-term cultivation and consumption of the first generation of transgenic foods. GMO products made with old genetic engineering technologies are harmful for human, animal, environmental, and genetic resources and the planet.

Several developed countries have limited or banned the cultivation or import of GMOs and have forced labeling of the GMO products.

Monsanto was bought by Bayer and now the company has become a scourge for Monsanto, because in the last few years more than 40,000 complaints have been filed by farmers with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) due to the use of Roundup or glyphosate herbicides. Monsanto’s condemnation of paying more than $2 billion in damages have further embarrassed Monsanto among the world.

It seems that food safety and health will play a major role in human life in the future. Biosafety and biosecurity will become more and more important in science and technology specifically in applications of Genetic Engineering.

Many books on this subject — such as Seed Money and The Monsanto Papers — expose the corruption of this corporation and how their biological terrorism isn’t only limited to the production of chemical weapons used in war, but extends to the weaponization of the food supply that our families eat on a daily basis.

In spite of all this, GMOs have not delivered on their promises to produce greater crop yields. Their yields are comparable to the yields of non-GMO crops. Yet, human health has taken a great toll due to this technology.

Monsanto’s harmful products are deemed “safe” due to lobbying, which is a legal form of corporate bribery. Through the revolving door, Monsanto executives leave their positions only to be hired within US government regulatory agencies such as the FDA and EPA. A notorious case is Michael Taylor, who worked as the Vice President for Public Policy in Monsanto in the 1990s, only to become the Deputy Commissioner for Foods at the FDA in 2010.

Monsanto also was notorious for ghost-writing articles which appeared in mainstream newspapers and scientific journals.

In December 2025, Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology retracted an article due to undisclosed relationships between the authors and the Monsanto corporation. Evidence also surfaced that Monsanto had a role in drafting the article’s contents.

Henry I. Miller, a fellow at the Hoover Institution think tank, published an article in Forbes that was mostly ghostwritten by Monsanto, with only minor edits being made by Miller.

Both articles sought to downplay the health hazards of the Glyphosate herbicide.

It is also worth noting that one of the biggest defenders of the Monsanto corporation is Bill Gates. His foundation has funded so many public campaigns in defense of Monsanto and GMO food. This is the same Bill Gates who has been exposed for his heinous and perverted crimes in the recent Epstein files releases.

For the average person who has taken even the most rudimentary science courses in elementary and high school, let alone university, will know that within the Scientific Method, there is no step that says to bribe your way towards proving a hypothesis. Yet, that is precisely what Monsanto does and if we question their corruption, we are accused of being “anti-science” by the brainwashed masses or paid online trolls (similar to the “israeli” hasbara tactic).

If Glyphosate was so safe, why would the genocidal Zionist regime spray this compound in southern Lebanon at 20 to 30 times the normal concentration? Why is it okay for such a substance to be sprayed on the food supply for millions of people around the world?

News of Glyphosate being used as a chemical weapon in south Lebanon is not the only way in which biological warfare is being waged against Lebanon.

Siyada Network, a Lebanese non-profit organization dedicated to food sovereignty, has sounded the alarm about pressures on the new US-friendly government to pass a law that would effectively monopolize the local seed supply into the hands of a few corporations. It is not clear if those corporations are Monsanto/Bayer or other AgriChemical companies like Syngenta, Dow, Cargill, etc.

The new law would place seed supply within the control of the state, which would set up a registration system that requires all seeds sold to the market to be verified within the distinction, homogeneity, and stability (DUS) standard. This largely favors industrial seed companies and GMO crops, whose seeds are patented.

Monsanto is famous for their suffocating contracts which compel farmers to only buy seeds from them, which are GMO seeds of crops that produce no seeds for the next harvest, so if the farmer wants to plant for the next season, they cannot take seeds freely from the plants they grew and must instead re-purchase them year after year from Monsanto. If they use other seeds, they are subject to penalties. When pollen from Monsanto seeds cross-pollinates other farms, if it is discovered, Monsanto sues that farmer for copyright infringement. The merciful God that has created us all has made food and seeds in abundance, free of charge, while Monsanto tries to play God by restricting what is freely available on earth and cruelly commodifying it for the sake of profits, and creating artificial scarcity.

Local, organic, and heirloom seed varieties, which fuel the Lebanese food system, will largely not meet DUS standards, since seeds are dynamic and adaptive, whether in nature or through the aid of farmer’s using natural selection (nature’s form of genetic modification, not Monsanto’s kind which involves direct gene editing in a laboratory). The DUS system is designed to penalize family farms and erase native, organic plant varieties which benefit the health of the society, replacing them with foreign, alien strains which have only been proven to cause harm to human health.

Given that the Washington DC, the center of the international Zionist network, is pressuring the Lebanese government to do so, shows a Zionist-American plot to harm Lebanon from within via seed monopolization. The scheme to monopolize seeds is done with one arm of the same Zionist-American body, who, with its other arm, allows for the spraying of extra-strength Glyphosate on farmland in south Lebanon.

The irony is that despite the new US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spending his private life fighting against Monsanto, he sold many of his principles upon taking office and has promised to use kid gloves on this carcinogenic herbicide’s use in American agriculture.

“I have said repeatedly throughout this process, that we cannot take any step that will put a single farmer in this country out of business. There’s a million farmers who rely on glyphosate. One hundred percent of corn in this country relies on glyphosate. We are not going to do anything to jeopardize that business model,” Kennedy stated. It is clear that even for someone like RFK, profits matter more than human life. Naturally, such a thing should have to be phased out regardless due to logistical aspects, but perhaps if the US stopped giving billions to “israel,” maybe the US could use that surplus money to subsidize farmers to compensate for any losses in the transition period away from glyphosate, so that the transition can happen quicker and smoother, with no risk to the economy and the livelihood of farmers.

This is all intertwined: the policy of seed monopolization and the spraying of Glyphosate are not isolated incidents. Monsanto is an arm of the military and its enemy is the entire world. However, the big guns of these biological terrorists are being saved for Gaza, south Lebanon, and other sensitive places on earth which are in the crosshairs of these bloodthirsty Zionist elites.

The stand against the Monsanto corporation is an obligatory battle for the resistance front.

Being healthy is an act of resistance, in this day and age. Not only does it stand up to biological terrorists like the Monsanto corporation, but it is not a coincidence that the majority of brands listed on the Boycott “Israel” campaigns are junk food brands like McDonald’s, SodaStream, Coca-Cola, and more. Eating healthy automatically causes us to boycott 90%+ companies on the boycott lists.

We humbly request all readers who wish to stand against this agenda to sign the Siyada Network’s petition to oppose seed monopolization in Lebanon.
