This story was very offensive. The US had a military occupation of Iraq.
As part of the military occupation, "Order 81" was one of the laws imposed. "Order 81" made it *ILLEGAL* for Iraqi farmers to use the heirloom seeds they had been using for decades. They were required to buy seeds from US-controlled agricultural corporations.
That's a clear example of war profiteering. One "side benefit" of the invasion was more profits for Monsanto!
War is an excellent opportunity for insiders to steal. Insiders profit from war, while forcing the slaves to pay. War is a great excuse for taking away freedom. "Order 81" is a flagrant example of war profiteering.

According to the Department of Human Services, there are claims of neglect against Godboldo for not giving her daughter prescribed medications. Godboldo has said the anti-psychotic medications prescribed for her daughter would do more harm than good and refuses to administer them.
