Just like the elites love to do with mergers/acquisitions, one company bought another one and the "re-branding" and "rotating shell game" will continue. Monsanto was bought by a bigger company, Bayer, so the "bad, evil Monsanto" products will be sold to the public as "new and improved" products run by the "good, and benevolent Bayer Company". When in fact, nothing will change.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/06/04/monsanto-bayer-name/668418002/The name Monsanto is no more but not necessarily for reasons that would satisfy the seed and pesticide company's many critics.
Monsanto, often assailed for its impact on the earth and on human health, will shed its moniker after German giant Bayer officially acquires the company on Thursday. While health and agricultural firm Bayer had been considering axing the Monsanto brand for some time, the decision to abandon the name was made official Monday.
"Bayer will remain the company name," Bayer said in a statement. "Monsanto will no longer be a company name. The acquired products will retain their brand names and become part of the Bayer portfolio."
The deal was set in motion in September 2016, when Bayer
agreed to pay $66 billion for Monsanto amid a global shakeup fueled by sluggish crop prices.
The agribusiness merger
won conditional U.S. antitrust approval in May after the companies agreed to sell off $9 billion in assets to preserve competition.
