What Happened? Bayer - Monsanto?

  

Yes this happened.  Yet you know and i know that the fix was surely in place.  What is different?

The reason that I ask this question is that i know that there is a massive Mil Intel operation underway globally that compares to WWII..  Obviously it is ongoing and has spun out over 55,000 indictments so far.  Bayer - Monsanto was never the primary target, but it also was on the to do list.  How better than to sit down with a known crooked judge and show him his many illicit conversations and make him an offer that could save his skin.

It also fires a huge shot right into Bayer Monsanto and forces them to panic and scramble and possibly precipitate serious changes and certainly sets the stage for imposed changes at the Fed's leisure.

For this massive corporate cabal they now know that they are in a real war and that they just took a huge loss. Yet it is close by the advent of mass arrests that they are losing all their leverage in government as well.

Yet it merely looks like a minor legal setback.  Not so.  For reasons that are too detailed to innumberate for why i know. you must understand that were they lost actually matters.  Had they won, further litigation would have been shut of at this stage.  Instead they really lost this time.  Worse their only avenue now open is a trip to the supreme Court and you know what that looks like.

The Global Mega corporations. including State controlled corporations will all be brought to heel by Trump.  They will not like it.

Bayer Stock Crashes After Monsanto Cancer Verdict Upheld By Judge; Analyst Estimates $800 Billion In Future Liability

Bayer greedily bought and swallowed the ‘poison pill’ of Monsanto without considering its true liability. Fifty-seven billion Euros of market cap down the drain later, now their headache is taking on epic proportions…

Growing uncertainty about how San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Ramos Bolanos would rule in Bayer’s appeal of the Monsanto cancer verdict was resolved Tuesday morning, as the judge upheld the jury’s decision that the glyphosate-based weedkiller (Roundup) sold by Monsanto caused a California man’s terminal cancer and that Monsanto intentionally hid its dangers.

The news quickly spread and caused an immediate crash in Bayer’s stock value, sending a powerful message to the Agrochemical industry that they are legally and financially responsible for the adverse effects caused by their unscrupulously marketed products despite receiving a regulatory pass from government agencies like the EPA, USDA, and FDA that have traditionally acted as industry cheerleaders.

The judge decided to reduce the punitive damage award from the original total of $289 million following a verdict reached earlier this summer, down to $78.5 million — a decision which concerned jurors who decided on the higher award amount in order to send a clear message to Monsanto that they deserve to be punished for covering up the dangers of their herbicide.

The good news is that this ruling affirms the company’s liability for causing illness from their product, and opens the door for more lawsuits and stricter regulation of agrochemicals in the future. Ian Hilliker, an analyst at Jefferies LLC in London, estimated in a note to clients that based on a class action lawsuit involving 8,700 plaintiffs believed to have cancer as a result of glyphosate exposure, Monsanto’s liability could reach $800 billion dollars. To put this in perspective, the original Bayer-Monsanto buyout offer was $57 billion dollars. Clearly, Monsanto no longer looks like an “asset” to Bayer and its stockholders.

In the tweet above, German analyst Holder Zschaepitz points out that Bayer’s Monsanto acquisition may have precipitated the largest destruction of market capitalization in German stock market history, standing at about 57.7 billion Euros in losses thus far.

Note: The case is Johnson v. Monsanto Co., CGC-16-550128, California Superior Court, County of San Francisco (San Francisco).

The Last Word

“It’s no surprise that Monsanto kept secrets from Bayer. Johnson’s jury heard evidence that for four decades Monsanto maneuvered to conceal Roundup’s carcinogenicity by capturing regulatory agencies, corrupting public officials, bribing scientists and engaging in scientific fraud to delay its day of reckoning. The jury found that these activities constituted “malice, fraud and oppression” warranting $250 million in punitive damages.

“I am one of several attorneys representing, collectively, now some 8,000 clients with similar cases… For Bayer the worst is yet to come.”
