Earth First! and Mud People expose Monsanto’s 1990 Earth Day takeover (1990)
Remember folks – things always don’t work out as corporations try and lead the masses into submission. Monsanto for the Earth? Come on, really? Not everyone got fooled. – Orin Langelle
Earth First! and “Mud People” present a check to the 1990 Earth Day Committee in St. Louis, Missouri. Monsanto was the main sponsor.
The action was the feature evening news story on a major television network affiliate in St. Louis with a reporter attempting to interview a mud person. An Earth First! “translator” fielded the reporter’s questions in English and then translated to the mud person in mud language; the mud person responded in mud language and then the Earth First! translator gave the answer to the reporter in English.
