Be careful how you invoke and perpetuate separation. I tend to think of apparent "negative" manifestations as that which is simply filling in a void. Separation is created between people and on the societal level based on their own actions (mostly), then there are those who are happy to exaggerate and take advantage of those conditions. I'm not sure that entertaining such thoughts about a corporation like Monsanto is useful.
Separation can't exist where there is harmony. So "negatives" are just reflections of our own separation. Can you see how their means of service is a teaching? So they're interesting teachers for sure and indicators of imbalance. If all we do is blame the government or Monsanto, we're not going to address the real issues.
In the hypothetical Monsanto situation, I'm not judging them or feel ill will to them, but I actually would respect that level of diabolical genius. There is dark beauty in the order and control of negative polarization. Not sure if this makes my comment any better tho haha.
But absolutely I believe all negatives give us service, and help us learn/evolve!
And I think zenny is right, this disease is probably more symbolic of our treatment of nature than some big bad plan.
