Rigged: European Commission Raids Oil Companies in Price-Fixing Probe
by Matt Taibbi | May 15, 2013 | Rolling Stone Taibblog
We’re going to get into this more at a later date, but there was some interesting late-breaking news yesterday.
According to numerous reports, the European Commission regulators yesterday raided the offices of oil companies in London, the Netherlands and Norway as part of an investigation into possible price-rigging in the oil markets. The targeted companies include BP, Shell and the Norweigan company Statoil. The Guardian explains that officials believe that oil companies colluded to manipulate pricing data:
The commission said the alleged price collusion, which may have been going on since 2002, could have had a “huge impact” on the price of petrol at the pumps “potentially harming final consumers.”

Monsanto taking over America’s agriculture: New victory in Supreme Court
May 13, 2013 | by RTAmerica
A battle between Monsanto and an Indiana farmer ended on Monday after the Supreme Court found Vernon Bowman guilty of patent infringement. The 75-year-old farmer is expected to pay approximately $85,000 in damages. Many see this as a major blow against smaller farmers across the country and fear this ruling can threaten the livelihood of thousands of farmers. Patent attorney Mark Walters, who represented the defendant, joins us to discuss the details of the case and what this means for America’s agriculture future.

The Supreme Court continues to fail the concept of justice
Bowman v. Monsanto, which allows giant biotech companies to sue family farmers, is yet another example of this Supreme Court doing the bidding of international corporations rather than We the People. Our nation’s highest court has become just as corrupt as Congress and beholden to the special interests that are ruling our government.
