Taken at the March Against Monsanto, Oct 12, 2013, Tempe (Phoenix), AZ. Look up the history of Monsanto on the internet. Educate yourself about the health dangers of gmos by watching geneticroulettemoviedotcom.
This was my final piece for the End of Year Exhibition at Swindon College.
This was strongly influenced by the affairs happening in the world at the time of it's completion. More and more crimes and inconsistencies with Monsanto, not that much has changed since this was done. Our food is poisoned by a company which owes part of it's fortune to the Vietnam War and a whole array of commercial pesticides and insecticides. Not my No1 choice for a food supplier, but then I don't reside in the White House. To this day companies such as this one, along with PepsiCo, Kellogs and Mars still put a plethora of ingredients which should not be considered food.
Our media is incapable or reluctant of reporting on this, they do not tell us half of what really goes on, only publishing articles for the sake of swaying public opinion. From international conflict to domestic protests, they rarely report news but a lot of opinions. The world's police services have long since stopped working for the people or the common god bought out by Bankers and Pedophiles, and who can blame them, even they weren't immune to the Conservative cuts. No it seems only the champagne bill was not cut among with the Health Service and Education.
How can any coherent opposition ever appear in a world so tightly sealed by those at the top.

SINS OF THE FLESH, the first book in an exciting new paranormal suspense series from Grand Central Publishing. Available Ocotber 27, 2009.
Caterina Shaw’s days are numbered. Her only chance for survival is a highly experimental gene treatment – a risk she willingly takes. But now Caterina barely recognizes herself. She has new, terrifying powers, an exotic, arresting body — and she’s been accused of a savage murder, sending her on the run.
Mick Carrera is a mercenary and an expert at capturing elusive, clever prey. Yet the woman he’s hunting down is far from the vicious killer he’s been told to expect: Caterina is wounded, vulnerable, and a startling mystery of medical science. Even more, she’s a beautiful woman whose innocent sensuality tempts Mick to show her exactly how thrilling pleasure can be. The heat that builds between them is irresistible, but surrendering to it could kill them both . . . for a dangerous group is plotting its next move using Caterina as its deadly pawn.
This is a replica of the grave of Pacal the Great. He ruled the western part of the Maya states for the most part of the 7th century. According to sources he was a great ruler and ruled on times when the Mayan culture was at it's finest. His grave was discovered in 1948 and there has been an interesting discussion going on about whether the bones in the stone coffin are really his or not as the skull's teeth are not nearly as worn as should be expected from a person that would have reached his age. Those who swear by this being him base their claim on the fact that as a royalty Pacal would have been chewing softer food than the common rubble. Whatever the truth might be, his replica-ed body looked pretty darn creepy.
Most importantly, the lid of the coffin was one of the examples used by Erich von Däniken to try and demonstrate that the Gods had indeed been astronauts from another planet. It's also the cover of his bestselling book "Chariots of the Gods?" or in icelandic "Voru guðirnir geimfarar?". I read this book over and over as a kid and I am afraid that it contribued greatly to creating the basis for my love for B movies and all things loony. I would have peed my pants from excitement at seven had anyone told me I would one day travel far enough to see the actual coffin lid. And now, this is perhaps something I should keep to myself but in retrospect I suspect that this book is also what awoke my interest in history and the human sciences.
I strongly recommend this museum, it has the most amazing artifacts on display and does so in a facinating and interesting way. The use of multimedia is moderate but well excecuted and the lightning in the big halls is amazing. Not all information is translated to english but well over half of it was is which was more than enough to keep me engaged for hours. I would have enjoyed this museum more though if I had read a tiny bit up on mexican pre-columbus history beforehand as it is obviously aimed at mexicans rather than foreigners.

Badges from various Greenpeace campaigns over the years .
Humanity has left its scars upon the earth. Pollution, animal extinction, and resource depletion are only some of our distinguishing marks . The extinction of the dodo within less than a century of its discovery called attention to the previously unrecognised problem of human involvement in the disappearance of entire species.

Background info:
Monsanto Company is a publicly traded American multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri. It is a leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed and of the herbicide glyphosate, which it markets under the Roundup brand. Founded in 1901 by John Francis Queeny, by the 1940s it was a major producer of plastics, including polystyrene and synthetic fibers. Notable achievements by Monsanto and its scientists as a chemical company included breakthrough research on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and being the first company to mass-produce light emitting diodes (LEDs). The company also formerly manufactured controversial products such as the insecticide DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, and recombinant bovine somatotropin.
Monsanto was among the first to genetically modify a plant cell, along with three academic teams, which was announced in 1983, and was among the first to conduct field trials of genetically modified crops, which it did in 1987. It remained one of the top 10 U.S. chemical companies until it divested most of its chemical businesses between 1997 and 2002, through a process of mergers and spin-offs that focused the company on biotechnology.
Monsanto was a pioneer in applying the biotechnology industry business model to agriculture, using techniques developed by Genentech and other biotech drug companies in the late 1970s in California. In this business model, companies invest heavily in research and development, and recoup the expenses through the use and enforcement of biological patents. Monsanto's application of this model to agriculture, along with a growing movement to create a global, uniform system of plant breeders' rights in the 1980s, came into direct conflict with customary practices of farmers to save, reuse, share and develop plant varieties. Its seed patenting model has also been criticized as biopiracy and a threat to biodiversity. Monsanto's role in these changes in agriculture (which include its litigation and its seed commercialization practices, its current and former agbiotech products, its lobbying of government agencies, and its history as a chemical company, have made Monsanto controversial.
False Shiva (aka “Monsanto Man” ) appears benevolent, hiding behind a beloved Shiva mask, his stance and multiple arms a poor imitation of the real Shiva. He is surrounded by dead and dying leaves, and a gold lasso to “Round Up” his victims, which include GM Corn, Soy, Rice and Beets. He holds in his hands a poison apple, a leafy noose with the bodies of hanging Indian suicide farmers, and a Wall Street Journal, which is also his dhoti. He stands victorious in his “merciless” Nike golf shoes, on the body of Mother Earth, whose basket of fresh fruit is scattered.
Yeah yeah, I know it’s bleak, but a lot of religious kitsch is pretty bleak too!
This is the second in a series of “Corporate Icons” I am working on – icons for a new and dismal age of rule by Corporate Demons. So far I have used Byzantine and Hindu religious kitsch as inspiration – look for Western medieval and Persian illuminated manuscripts for the next ones.
