Google The Rockefeller Foundation.  Pushing the new science of molecular biology and genetic engineering, this group created the "Green Revolution," posed to solve the world's hunger problem.  Manifesting as globalized agri-business, what we got was revolutionized agriculture that put control of the food chain in multinational corporate hands, out of reach of the family farmer.  The Green Revolution gave us hybrid seeds programmed not to reproduce (a.k.a. "Terminator" seeds).  Thus farmers must buy each year's crop from corporations, along with pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation plans.  Enter the World Bank with its loans for dams and the oil companies with their petro-fertilizers.  Get the picture?  The Green Revolution was a Chemical Revolution, ultimately chasing peasants from the land to urban factories, desperate for a way to survive.

The infamous Monsanto and Swiss Syngenta AG are now pushing "Seeds of Hope" in Africa, the next geographical target of the GMO (genetically modified organisms) industry.  Ironically, biotech's effect on agriculture has caused an overproduction of food, which drives prices down and makes farmers poor, yet the GMO giants continue to stress that we need more food.  It all boils down to marketing and the current pressure on us to believe that technological progress is good.  But the four "Horsemen of the GMO Apocalypse" -- Dupont, Dow Chemical, Syngenta and Monsanto -- now the manufacturers of our seeds -- are also those who brought us dioxin and Agent Orange.  And, they are partners in Svalbard, the world's largest seed vault located in the Arctic, being built to contain and protect the raw material for the future of our food.

Who's an investor in Svalbard?  Our good friend Bill Gates, the world's wealthiest man.  The seed bank's press release tells us Svalbard will conserve crop diversity for the future, but again, we must remember that the Svalbard partners are those with the most power and money in the world.  An example of their ventures takes us back to 2001, when Epicyte, a small California biotech company, joined Dupont and Syngenta in a new technological wonder -- spermicidal corn, or corn that renders sterile the men who eat it.  It seems that "genetics" may be a euphemism for "eugenics" (see Alex Jones' DVD "Endgame"), and a way of limiting population.  Bill Gates is now cruising for conquering AIDS, yet if you read Leonard Horowitz's Emerging Viruses, you will learn that we are swimming in laboratory-made scourges like SARS, Ebola and AIDS.  What are the big guys truly up to?
