Monsanto finally makes it into Zika virus conspiracy theory

"ST. LOUIS, MO – Executives at the dungeon lair headquarters of Monsanto are breathing a sigh of relief today as they finally were implicated in a conspiracy theory involving the Zika Virus in Brazil.

The latest conspiracy revolves around a larvacide called Pyriproxyfen, which is actually manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical, a Japanese company.

However, at some point the chemical may have been either worked on or owned by Monsanto or something, something Monsanto is evil.

“We watched for a few weeks as GMO mosquitoes, vaccines, Bill Gates and even lizard people were getting all the conspiracy coverage,” said Diablo Lucifer, Monsanto CEO. “Now it’s finally our turn. This couldn’t come at a better time for us either, since people seem to be getting less and less crazy about GMOs and not mentioning us as much on social media.”

I tried to shoot the poor thing down but you know how disappointed by reality most conspiracy advocates are, they will cling to any straw out there and move the goalposts out to Saturn if they have to.

It's amazing to me that these folks don't care if they're posts are deceitful. They "know" evil, and they're going to "call it out," even if doing so means, well, not being honest. Weird.
