Guess who is sleeping with the enemy? The strangest of bedfellows, John Kerry and Monsanto. America's new nightmare couple.
Kerry is the man who claims that he does not take corporate money. My research has taken me inside of Kerry's brain.
Malkovich, Malkovich. Kerry, Kerry.
Try to avoid the manure, as you slide through the tunnel of this man's slippery synapses.
Kerry and Monsanto, sitting in a tree.
Kissing and promoting B-S-T.
First comes love, then comes marriage,
There's no justice, just a Kerry miscarriage.
The law firm of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, et. al., specializes in biotechnology law. One of their most important clients is Monsanto. Call today's column a lesson in trickle-down economics. Call it an example of a carefully laid out political agenda. Kerry wants you to believe that he accepts no donations from corporations. Kerry's lie that just plain folk contribute to his campaign is phony politics at its worst. He has carefully hidden the twisted route that dollars take before reaching his pocket. Make no mistake about it. Kerry is no better than a common crook.
JFK (John-Fraud-Kerry), the man who would tiptoe a circuitous path around election finance laws.
One very connected attorney with Mintz, Levin & Cohn is David Leiter. Leiter now works for the Bush administration in the Department of Energy. Leiter served as Kerry's Chief of Staff for six years. Is there really a difference between Democrat and Republican in these United States? These insider-traders prove again and again that politics is the best cash business in America. Leiter has raised nearly $20 million for just three political campaigns.
Interesting aside regarding of the law firm of Mintz, Levin and Cohn and the George Bush cabinet. This firm represented Biogen, the maker of the genetically engineered Flavor-Saver Tomato. Biogen was purchased by Monsanto [More on Monsanto] at a time when Ann Veneman was on its board of directors. Today, Ann Veneman is America's Secretary of Agriculture. Mintz, Levin & Cohn arranged the financing for the initial public stock offering of Biogen.
While we will never be privy to cash transactions and deals made behind close doors, what financial services have Mintz, Levin & Cohn performed on the record for Kerry?
After examining campaign donations from 1997 through 2002, I determined that Kerry's top three contributions came from Boston Fleet Bank ($75,694), Verizon Communications ($65,862), and Mintz, Levin & Cohn, et. al. ($54,700).
So, how much has the firm given Kerry for his 2004 run by Mintz, Levin & Cohn? The shocker: $112,250!
This man is a people's person?
Mintz, Levin, Cohn has acted as counsel in funding biotech acquisitions by raising nearly $800 million. They do much more than that for Monsanto. Mintz, Levin & Cohn also represents Monsanto in PCB litigation.
Kerry's association with Mintz, Levin, Cohn is as deep as his relationship with Monsanto and other biotech companies. In 2000, after Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced a labeling law that would have given Americans the right to know whether the foods they ate contained genetically modified organisms, Kerry refused to support that bill. Now you know why. He has been bought and paid for by the biotech industry.
Over the weekend, Kerry was accused of being just another good old boy Republican by a fellow Democrat. Kerry remarked:
"I've spent a career fighting against special interests. I'll take a second seat to nobody in this race with respect to my lifetime fights against special interests and my efforts to run campaigns on a high standard."
Kerry insisted that he had accepted no money from political action committees or "special interests."
Tomorrow, February 3, 2003, Americans vote in seven primaries.
Arizona, Delaware, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina
Tuesday's victories might propel Kerry far ahead of the field for the Democratic presidential nomination. There is but one vehicle that can stop Kerry at this eleventh hour. It's called the Internet. Your activism can insure that millions of voters see this critically important truth--before it is too late.
A message can be sent to Mr. Kerry that "politics as usual" can no longer be tolerated. Kerry campaigns on issues of integrity, claiming that he is beholden to no corporate sponsors. This man lies by informing Americans that his financial support comes from individuals like you and me. Faced with this fantastic evidence, would you cast your ballot for a liar such as John Kerry?
