Dear Gerald,

You don't know me, and I don't have any credibility or prior business relationship with you or your company.

As President of New Revolution Ventures, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, I am writing to you, Hugh Grant, Brett D. Begemann, Pierre Courduroux, Dr. Robert T. Fraley, Tom D. Hartley, Janet M. Holloway, Consuelo E. Madere, Steven C. Mizell, Kerry J. Preete, Nicole M. Ringenberg, and David F. Snively, because I am looking for the most appropriate, correct, key senior executives to answer my questions as to why you have not been held in violation of the 1970 RICO act with your attempts to monopolize the market place on agriculture, thereby extorting civilization into purchasing only your genetically altered seeds. Would you personally be comfortable in having your family and loved ones ingesting produce and other goods which have been altered at their most basic levels? Why is it that humanity has survived just fine for thousands of years on food that has not been altered? Now your company feels it is necessary to fundamentally alter the food source? It is our opinion that you are deliberately attempting to gain control over the population via food modification. Thus your patents on your designer crop seeds etc. Our crops are not broke, don’t try and “fix them”. I would be fascinated with any response you have.

This exact letter has also been sent to US Attorney General, Eric H. Holder, Jr., US Patent and Trademark Director, David Kappos, and various major media outlets. Why? The Hobbs Act defines "extortion" as "the obtaining of property from another, with his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right." 18 U.S.C. S 1951(b)(2). Since the mid-1990s, it has sued 145 individual US farmers for patent infringement in connection with its genetically engineered seed. [55]The usual claim involves violation of a technology agreement that prohibits farmers from saving seed from one season's crop to plant the next, a common farming practice.[56] One farmer received an eight-month prison sentence for violating a court order to destroy seeds,[57] in addition to having to pay damages, when a Monsanto case turned into a criminal prosecution. Source- (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto) Sounds like “threatened force, and fear” to me. How is this not a violation of the RICO act?

Our business is helping people understand their rights and what freedoms are available to them. We are in the business of propagating true freedom and entrepreneurialism.

Your response is eagerly anticipated,

Daniel J. Muhlestein
