Trump has tapped Congressman Mike Pompeo to head the CIA.

 

In April of 2014, Pompeo introduced the bill that would become The Dark Act, banning states from passing laws mandating GMO labeling on food. Instead, The Dark Act introduces very weak and confusing federal GMO labels. Few people will pay attention to them or even realize they're there.

 

I'm sure Monsanto execs are popping a few champagne corks right now. "Hey, remember Mike Pompeo? Can you believe it? He's the new director of the CIA. If we need an extra helping hand taking over the world's food supply, why can't we call on good old Mike? Ha-ha..."

 

Mike is also a heavy supporter of the NSA's surveillance programs: "Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed." (The Atlantic, 11/18/16)

 

Here's what Mike had to say about Edward Snowden: "[He] should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence." (Washington Examiner, 2/11/16)

 

Very bad move, Donald.
