They are massively focussing on the distribution of these "terminator" seeds that do not turn into fertile ones, so farmers can't put seed away for next years crop,

Do you have a source for this? Monsanto said over a decade ago that while they have the technology to do this, they will never develop a commercial product that will do that. A company was going to develop this commercially. Monsanto bought them and cancelled the project.

Or they could buy seeds from one of the other Bio-Ag companies...

The Bio-Ag companies that people buy seed from now are the companies they are going to be buying from in the future, Monsanto, BASF, Pioneer, Dow, Bayer and Syngenta. These companies already have and have had for years control over basic food stuffs.

If they wanted to exert control, they could do it without GM.

The arguments regarding the safety of such foods are a legitimate worry, but I believe those arguments are a smoke screen for the real reason d'etre behind the development of GM crops which is global food control in the hands of an industrial elite

Such control already exists. Those who run the Bio-ag companies, the oil refineries, the chemical manufacture plants, the transport and distribution network - any or all could exert what ever control they like at the moment.
