One thing Microsoft founder Bill Gates can’t be accused of is sloth.
He was already programming at 14, founded Microsoft at age 20 while still
a student at Harvard. By 1995 he had been listed by Forbes as the world’
s richest man from being the largest shareholder in his Microsoft, a company
which his relentless drive built into a de facto monopoly in software
systems for personal computers.
In 2006 when most people in such a situation might think of retiring to
a quiet Pacific island, Bill Gates decided to devote his energies to his
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest ‘transparent’
private foundation as it says, with a whopping $34.6 billion endowment
and a legal necessity to spend $1.5 billion a year on charitable projects
around the world to maintain its tax free charitable status. A gift from
friend and business associate, mega-investor Warren Buffett in 2006, of
some $30 billion worth of shares in Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway put the
Gates’ foundation into the league where it spends almost the amount of
the entire annual budget of the United Nations’ World Health Organization.
So when Bill Gates decides through the Gates Foundation to invest some
$30 million of their hard earned money in a project, it is worth looking
at.
No project is more interesting at the moment than a curious project in
one of the world’s most remote spots, Svalbard. Bill Gates is investing
millions in a seed bank on the Barents Sea near the Arctic Ocean, some
1,100 kilometers from the North Pole. Svalbard is a barren piece of rock
claimed by Norway and ceded in 1925 by international treaty (see map).
On this God-forsaken island Bill Gates is investing tens of his millions
along with the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto Corporation, Syngenta
Foundation and the Government of Norway, among others, in what is called
the ‘doomsday seed bank.’ Officially the project is named the Svalbard
Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, part of the
Svalbard island group.
Doomsday Seed Vault
The seed bank is being built inside a mountain on Spitsbergen Island near
the small village of Longyearbyen. It’s almost ready for ‘business’
according to their releases. The bank will have dual blast-proof doors
with motion sensors, two airlocks, and walls of steel-reinforced concrete
one meter thick. It will contain up to three million different varieties
of seeds from the entire world, ‘so that crop diversity can be conserved
for the future,’ according to the Norwegian government. Seeds will be
specially wrapped to exclude moisture. There will be no full-time staff,
but the vault's relative inaccessibility will facilitate monitoring any
possible human activity.
Did we miss something here? Their press release stated, ‘so that crop
diversity can be conserved for the future.’ What future do the seed bank’
s sponsors foresee, that would threaten the global availability of current
seeds, almost all of which are already well protected in designated seed
banks around the world?
Anytime Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto and Syngenta
get together on a common project, it’s worth digging a bit deeper behind
the rocks on Spitsbergen. When we do we find some fascinating things.
The first notable point is who is sponsoring the doomsday seed vault.
Here joining the Norwegians are, as noted, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation;
the US agribusiness giant DuPont/Pioneer Hi-Bred, one of the world’s
largest owners of patented genetically-modified (GMO) plant seeds and
related agrichemicals; Syngenta, the Swiss-based major GMO seed and agrichemicals
company through its Syngenta Foundation; the Rockefeller Foundation, the
private group who created the “gene revolution with over $100 million
of seed money since the 1970’s; CGIAR, the global network created by
the Rockefeller Foundation to promote its ideal of genetic purity through
agriculture change.
CGIAR and ‘The Project’
As I detailled in the book, Seeds of Destruction1, in 1960 the Rockefeller
Foundation, John D. Rockefeller III’s Agriculture Development Council
and the Ford Foundation joined forces to create the International Rice
Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Baños, the Philippines. By 1971,
the Rockefeller Foundation’s IRRI, along with their Mexico-based International
Maize and Wheat Improvement Center and two other Rockefeller and Ford
Foundation-created international research centers, the IITA for tropical
agriculture, Nigeria, and IRRI for rice, Philippines, combined to form
a global Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR).
CGIAR was shaped at a series of private conferences held at the Rockefeller
Foundation’s conference center in Bellagio, Italy. Key participants at
the Bellagio talks were the Rockefeller Foundation’s George Harrar, Ford
Foundation’s Forrest Hill, Robert McNamara of the World Bank and Maurice
Strong, the Rockefeller family’s international environmental organizer,
who, as a Rockefeller Foundation Trustee, organized the UN Earth Summit
in Stockholm in 1972. It was part of the foundation’s decades long focus
to turn science to the service of eugenics, a hideous version of racial
purity, what has been called The Project.
To ensure maximum impact, CGIAR drew in the United Nations’ Food and
Agriculture Organization, the UN Development Program and the World Bank.
Thus, through a carefully-planned leverage of its initial funds, the Rockefeller
Foundation by the beginning of the 1970’s was in a position to shape
global agriculture policy. And shape it did.
Financed by generous Rockefeller and Ford Foundation study grants, CGIAR
saw to it that leading Third World agriculture scientists and agronomists
were brought to the US to ‘master’ the concepts of modern agribusiness
production, in order to carry it back to their homeland. In the process
they created an invaluable network of influence for US agribusiness promotion
in those countries, most especially promotion of the GMO ‘Gene Revolution’
in developing countries, all in the name of science and efficient, free
market agriculture.
Genetically engineering a master race?
Now the Svalbard Seed Bank begins to become interesting. But it gets better.
‘The Project’ I referred to is the project of the Rockefeller Foundation
and powerful financial interests since the 1920’s to use eugenics, later
renamed genetics, to justify creation of a genetically-engineered Master
Race. Hitler and the Nazis called it the Ayran Master Race.
The eugenics of Hitler were financed to a major extent by the same Rockefeller
Foundation which today is building a doomsday seed vault to preserve samples
of every seed on our planet. Now this is getting really intriguing. The
same Rockefeller Foundation created the pseudo-science discipline of molecular
biology in their relentless pursuit of reducing human life down to the
‘defining gene sequence’ which, they hoped, could then be modified in
order to change human traits at will. Hitler’s eugenics scientists, many
of whom were quietly brought to the United States after the War to continue
their biological eugenics research, laid much of the groundwork of genetic
engineering of various life forms, much of it supported openly until well
into the Third Reich by Rockefeller Foundation generous grants.2
The same Rockefeller Foundation created the so-called Green Revolution,
out of a trip to Mexico in 1946 by Nelson Rockefeller and former New Deal
Secretary of Agriculture and founder of the Pioneer Hi-Bred Seed Company,
Henry Wallace.
The Green Revolution purported to solve the world hunger problem to a
major degree in Mexico, India and other select countries where Rockefeller
worked. Rockefeller Foundation agronomist, Norman Borlaug, won a Nobel
Peace Prize for his work, hardly something to boast about with the likes
of Henry Kissinger sharing the same.
In reality, as it years later emerged, the Green Revolution was a brilliant
Rockefeller family scheme to develop a globalized agribusiness which they
then could monopolize just as they had done in the world oil industry
beginning a half century before. As Henry Kissinger declared in the 1970’
s, ‘If you control the oil you control the country; if you control food,
you control the population.’
Agribusiness and the Rockefeller Green Revolution went hand-in-hand. They
were part of a grand strategy which included Rockefeller Foundation financing
of research for the development of genetic engineering of plants and animals
a few years later.
John H. Davis had been Assistant Agriculture Secretary under President
Dwight Eisenhower in the early 1950’s. He left Washington in 1955 and
went to the Harvard Graduate School of Business, an unusual place for
an agriculture expert in those days. He had a clear strategy. In 1956,
Davis wrote an article in the Harvard Business Review in which he declared
that “the only way to solve the so-called farm problem once and for all,
and avoid cumbersome government programs, is to progress from agriculture
to agribusiness.” He knew precisely what he had in mind, though few others
had a clue back then--- a revolution in agriculture production that would
concentrate control of the food chain in corporate multinational hands,
away from the traditional family farmer. 3
A crucial aspect driving the interest of the Rockefeller Foundation and
US agribusiness companies was the fact that the Green Revolution was based
on proliferation of new hybrid seeds in developing markets. One vital
aspect of hybrid seeds was their lack of reproductive capacity. Hybrids
had a built in protection against multiplication. Unlike normal open pollinated
species whose seed gave yields similar to its parents, the yield of the
seed borne by hybrid plants was significantly lower than that of the first
generation.
That declining yield characteristic of hybrids meant farmers must normally
buy seed every year in order to obtain high yields. Moreover, the lower
yield of the second generation eliminated the trade in seed that was often
done by seed producers without the breeder’s authorization. It prevented
the redistribution of the commercial crop seed by middlemen. If the large
multinational seed
companies were able to control the parental seed lines in house, no competitor
or farmer would be able to produce the hybrid. The global concentration
of hybrid seed patents into a handful of giant seed companies, led by
DuPont’s Pioneer Hi-Bred and Monsanto’s Dekalb laid the ground for the
later GMO seed revolution. 4
In effect, the introduction of modern American agricultural technology,
chemical fertilizers and commercial hybrid seeds all made local farmers
in developing countries, particularly the larger more established ones,
dependent on foreign, mostly US agribusiness and petro-chemical company
inputs. It was a first step in what was to be a decades-long, carefully
planned process.
Under the Green Revolution Agribusiness was making major inroads into
markets which were previously of limited access to US exporters. The trend
was later dubbed “market-oriented agriculture.” In reality it was agribusiness-controlled
agriculture.
Through the Green Revolution, the Rockefeller Foundation and later Ford
Foundation worked hand-in-hand shaping and supporting the foreign policy
goals of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
and of the CIA.
One major effect of the Green Revolution was to depopulate the countryside
of peasants who were forced to flee into shantytown slums around the cities
in desperate search for work. That was no accident; it was part of the
plan to create cheap labor pools for forthcoming US multinational manufactures,
the ‘globalization’ of recent years.
When the self-promotion around the Green Revolution died down, the results
were quite different from what had been promised. Problems had arisen
from indiscriminate use of the new chemical pesticides, often with serious
health consequences. The mono-culture cultivation of new hybrid seed varieties
decreased soil fertility and yields over time. The first results were
impressive: double or even triple yields for some crops such as wheat
and later corn in Mexico. That soon faded.
The Green Revolution was typically accompanied by large irrigation projects
which often included World Bank loans to construct huge new dams, and
flood previously settled areas and fertile farmland in the process. Also,
super-wheat produced greater yields by saturating the soil with huge amounts
of fertilizer per acre, the fertilizer being the product of nitrates and
petroleum, commodities controlled by the Rockefeller-dominated Seven Sisters
major oil companies.
Huge quantities of herbicides and pesticides were also used, creating
additional markets for the oil and chemical giants. As one analyst put
it, in effect, the Green Revolution was merely a chemical revolution.
At no point could developing nations pay for the huge amounts of chemical
fertilizers and pesticides. They would get the credit courtesy of the
World Bank and special loans by Chase Bank and other large New York banks,
backed by US Government guarantees.
Applied in a large number of developing countries, those loans went mostly
to the large landowners. For the smaller peasants the situation worked
differently. Small peasant farmers could not afford the chemical and other
modern inputs and had to borrow money.
Initially various government programs tried to provide some loans to farmers
so that they could purchase seeds and fertilizers. Farmers who could not
participate in this kind of program had to borrow from the private sector.
Because of the exorbitant interest rates for informal loans, many small
farmers did not even get the benefits of the initial higher yields. After
harvest, they had to sell most if not all of their produce to pay off
loans and interest. They became dependent on money-lenders and traders
and often lost their land. Even with soft loans from government agencies,
growing subsistence crops gave way to the production of cash crops.5
Since decades the same interests including the Rockefeller Foundation
which backed the initial Green Revolution, have worked to promote a second
‘Gene Revolution’ as Rockefeller Foundation President Gordon Conway
termed it several years ago, the spread of industrial agriculture and
commercial inputs including GMO patented seeds.
Gates, Rockefeller and a Green Revolution in Africa
With the true background of the 1950’s Rockefeller Foundation Green Revolution
clear in mind, it becomes especially curious that the same Rockefeller
Foundation along with the Gates Foundation which are now investing millions
of dollars in preserving every seed against a possible “doomsday” scenario
are also investing millions in a project called The Alliance for a Green
Revolution in Africa.
AGRA, as it calls itself, is an alliance again with the same Rockefeller
Foundation which created the “Gene Revolution.” A look at the AGRA Board
of Directors confirms this.
It includes none other than former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan as
chairman. In his acceptance speech in a World Economic Forum event in
Cape Town South Africa in June 2007, Kofi Annan stated, ‘I accept this
challenge with gratitude to the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation, and all others who support our African campaign.’
In addition the AGRA board numbers a South African, Strive Masiyiwa who
is a Trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation. It includes Sylvia M. Mathews
of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Mamphela Ramphele, former Managing
Director of the World Bank (2000 – 2006); Rajiv J. Shah of the Gates
Foundation; Nadya K. Shmavonian of the Rockefeller Foundation; Roy Steiner
of the Gates Foundation. In addition, an Alliance for AGRA includes Gary
Toenniessen the Managing Director of the Rockefeller Foundation and Akinwumi
Adesina, Associate Director, Rockefeller Foundation.
To fill out the lineup, the Programmes for AGRA includes Peter Matlon,
Managing Director, Rockefeller Foundation; Joseph De Vries, Director of
the Programme for Africa’s Seed Systems and Associate Director, Rockefeller
foundation; Akinwumi Adesina, Associate Director, Rockefeller Foundation.
Like the old failed Green Revolution in India and Mexico, the new Africa
Green Revolution is clearly a high priority of the Rockefeller Foundation.
While to date they are keeping a low profile, Monsanto and the major GMO
agribusiness giants are believed at the heart of using Kofi Annan’s AGRA
to spread their patented GMO seeds across Africa under the deceptive label,
‘bio-technology,’ the new euphemism for genetically engineered patented
seeds. To date South Africa is the only African country permitting legal
planting of GMO crops. In 2003 Burkina Faso authorized GMO trials. In
2005 Kofi Annan’s Ghana drafted bio-safety legislation and key officials
expressed their intentions to pursue research into GMO crops.
Africa is the next target in the US-government campaign to spread GMO
worldwide. Its rich soils make it an ideal candidate. Not surprisingly
many African governments suspect the worst from the GMO sponsors as a
multitude of genetic engineering and biosafety projects have been initiated
in Africa, with the aim of introducing GMOs into Africa’s agricultural
systems. These include sponsorships offered by the US government to train
African scientists in genetic engineering in the US, biosafety projects
funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
and the World Bank; GMO research involving African indigenous food crops.
The Rockefeller Foundation has been working for years to promote, largely
without success, projects to introduce GMOs into the fields of Africa.
They have backed research that supports the applicability of GMO cotton
in the Makhathini Flats in South Africa.
Monsanto, who has a strong foothold in South Africa’s seed industry,
both GMO and hybrid, has conceived of an ingenious smallholders’ programme
known as the ‘Seeds of Hope’ Campaign, which is introducing a green
revolution package to small scale poor farmers, followed, of course, by
Monsanto’s patented GMO seeds. 6
Syngenta AG of Switzerland, one of the ‘Four Horsemen of the GMO Apocalypse’
is pouring millions of dollars into a new greenhouse facility in Nairobi,
to develop GMO insect resistant maize. Syngenta is a part of CGIAR as
well.7
Move on to Svalbard
Now is it simply philosophical sloppiness? What leads the Gates and Rockefeller
foundations to at one and the same time to back proliferation of patented
and soon-to-be Terminator patented seeds across Africa, a process which,
as it has in every other place on earth, destroys the plant seed varieties
as monoculture industrialized agribusiness is introduced? At the same
time they invest tens of millions of dollars to preserve every seed variety
known in a bomb-proof doomsday vault near the remote Arctic Circle ‘so
that crop diversity can be conserved for the future’ to restate their
official release?
It is no accident that the Rockefeller and Gates foundations are teaming
up to push a GMO-style Green Revolution in Africa at the same time they
are quietly financing the ‘doomsday seed vault’ on Svalbard. The GMO
agribusiness giants are up to their ears in the Svalbard project.
Indeed, the entire Svalbard enterprise and the people involved call up
the worst catastrophe images of the Michael Crichton bestseller, Andromeda
Strain, a sci-fi thriller where a deadly disease of extraterrestrial origin
causes rapid, fatal clotting of the blood threatening the entire human
species. In Svalbard, the future world’s most secure seed repository
will be guarded by the policemen of the GMO Green Revolution--the Rockefeller
and Gates Foundations, Syngenta, DuPont and CGIAR.
The Svalbard project will be run by an organization called the Global
Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT). Who are they to hold such an awesome trust
over the planet’s entire seed varieties? The GCDT was founded by the
United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and Bioversity
International (formerly the International Plant Genetic Research Institute),
an offshoot of the CGIAR.
The Global Crop Diversity Trust is based in Rome. Its Board is chaired
by Margaret Catley-Carlson a Canadian also on the advisory board of Group
Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux, one of the world’s largest private water companies.
Catley-Carlson was also president until 1998 of the New York-based Population
Council, John D. Rockefeller’s population reduction organization, set
up in 1952 to advance the Rockefeller family’s eugenics program under
the cover of promoting “family planning,” birth control devices, sterilization
and “population control” in developing countries.
Other GCDT board members include former Bank of America executive presently
head of the Hollywood DreamWorks Animation, Lewis Coleman. Coleman is
also the lead Board Director of Northrup Grumman Corporation, one of America’
s largest military industry Pentagon contractors.
Jorio Dauster (Brazil) is also Board Chairman of Brasil Ecodiesel. He
is a former Ambassador of Brazil to the European Union, and Chief Negotiator
of Brazil’s foreign debt for the Ministry of Finance. Dauster has also
served as President of the Brazilian Coffee Institute and as Coordinator
of the Project for the Modernization of Brazil’s Patent System, which
involves legalizing patents on seeds which are genetically modified, something
until recently forbidden by Brazil’s laws.
Cary Fowler is the Trust’s Executive Director. Fowler was Professor and
Director of Research in the Department for International Environment &
Development Studies at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. He was
also a Senior Advisor to the Director General of Bioversity International.
There he represented the Future Harvest Centres of the Consultative Group
on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in negotiations on the
International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources. In the 1990s, he headed
the International Program on Plant Genetic Resources at the FAO. He drafted
and supervised negotiations of FAO’s Global Plan of Action for Plant
Genetic Resources, adopted by 150 countries in 1996. He is a past-member
of the National Plant Genetic Resources Board of the US and the Board
of Trustees of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in
Mexico, another Rockefeller Foundation and CGIAR project.
GCDT board member Dr. Mangala Rai of India is the Secretary of India’
s Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), and Director
General of the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR). He is
also a Board Member of the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Rice
Research Institute (IRRI), which promoted the world’s first major GMO
experiment, the much-hyped ‘Golden Rice’ which proved a failure. Rai
has served as Board Member for CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement
Center), and a Member of the Executive Council of the CGIAR.
Global Crop Diversity Trust Donors or financial angels include as well,
in the words of the Humphrey Bogart Casablanca classic, ‘all the usual
suspects.’ As well as the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations, the Donors
include GMO giants DuPont-Pioneer Hi-Bred, Syngenta of Basle Switzerland,
CGIAR and the State Department’s energetically pro-GMO agency for development
aid, USAID. Indeed it seems we have the GMO and population reduction foxes
guarding the hen-house of mankind, the global seed diversity store in
Svalbard. 8
Why now Svalbard?
We can legitimately ask why Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation
along with the major genetic engineering agribusiness giants such as DuPont
and Syngenta, along with CGIAR are building the Doomsday Seed Vault in
the Arctic.
Who uses such a seed bank in the first place? Plant breeders and researchers
are the major users of gene banks. Today’s largest plant breeders are
Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta and Dow Chemical, the global plant-patenting
GMO giants. Since early in 2007 Monsanto holds world patent rights together
with the United States Government for plant so-called ‘Terminator’ or
Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT). Terminator is an ominous technology
by which a patented commercial seed commits ‘suicide’ after one harvest.
Control by private seed companies is total. Such control and power over
the food chain has never before in the history of mankind existed.
This clever genetically engineered terminator trait forces farmers to
return every year to Monsanto or other GMO seed suppliers to get new seeds
for rice, soybeans, corn, wheat whatever major crops they need to feed
their population. If broadly introduced around the world, it could within
perhaps a decade or so make the world’s majority of food producers new
feudal serfs in bondage to three or four giant seed companies such as
Monsanto or DuPont or Dow Chemical.
That, of course, could also open the door to have those private companies,
perhaps under orders from their host government, Washington, deny seeds
to one or another developing country whose politics happened to go against
Washington’s. Those who say ‘It can’t happen here’ should look more
closely at current global events. The mere existence of that concentration
of power in three or four private US-based agribusiness giants is grounds
for legally banning all GMO crops even were their harvest gains real,
which they manifestly are not.
These private companies, Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical hardly have an
unsullied record in terms of stewardship of human life. They developed
and proliferated such innovations as dioxin, PCBs, Agent Orange. They
covered up for decades clear evidence of carcinogenic and other severe
human health consequences of use of the toxic chemicals. They have buried
serious scientific reports that the world’s most widespread herbicide,
glyphosate, the essential ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide
that is tied to purchase of most Monsanto genetically engineered seeds,
is toxic when it seeps into drinking water.9 Denmark banned glyphosate
in 2003 when it confirmed it has contaminated the country’s groundwater.10
The diversity stored in seed gene banks is the raw material for plant
breeding and for a great deal of basic biological research. Several hundred
thousand samples are distributed annually for such purposes. The UN’s
FAO lists some 1400 seed banks around the world, the largest being held
by the United States Government. Other large banks are held by China,
Russia, Japan, India, South Korea, Germany and Canada in descending order
of size. In addition, CGIAR operates a chain of seed banks in select centers
around the world.
CGIAR, set up in 1972 by the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation
to spread their Green Revolution agribusiness model, controls most of
the private seed banks from the Philippines to Syria to Kenya. In all
these present seed banks hold more than six and a half million seed varieties,
almost two million of which are ‘distinct.’ Svalbard’s Doomsday Vault
will have a capacity to house four and a half million different seeds.
GMO as a weapon of biowarfare?
Now we come to the heart of the danger and the potential for misuse inherent
in the Svalbard project of Bill Gates and the Rockefeller foundation.
Can the development of patented seeds for most of the world’s major sustenance
crops such as rice, corn, wheat, and feed grains such as soybeans ultimately
be used in a horrible form of biological warfare?
The explicit aim of the eugenics lobby funded by wealthy elite families
such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Harriman and others since the 1920’s,
has embodied what they termed ‘negative eugenics,’ the systematic killing
off of undesired bloodlines. Margaret Sanger, a rapid eugenicist, the
founder of Planned Parenthood International and an intimate of the Rockefeller
family, created something called The Negro Project in 1939, based in Harlem,
which as she confided in a letter to a friend, was all about the fact
that, as she put it, ‘we want to exterminate the Negro population.’
11
A small California biotech company, Epicyte, in 2001 announced the development
of genetically engineered corn which contained a spermicide which made
the semen of men who ate it sterile. At the time Epicyte had a joint venture
agreement to spread its technology with DuPont and Syngenta, two of the
sponsors of the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault. Epicyte was since acquired
by a North Carolina biotech company. Astonishing to learn was that Epicyte
had developed its spermicidal GMO corn with research funds from the US
Department of Agriculture, the same USDA which, despite worldwide opposition,
continued to finance the development of Terminator technology, now held
by Monsanto.
In the 1990’s the UN’s World Health Organization launched a campaign
to vaccinate millions of women in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines
between the ages of 15 and 45, allegedly against Tentanus, a sickness
arising from such things as stepping on a rusty nail. The vaccine was
not given to men or boys, despite the fact they are presumably equally
liable to step on rusty nails as women.
Because of that curious anomaly, Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman Catholic
lay organization became suspicious and had vaccine samples tested. The
tests revealed that the Tetanus vaccine being spread by the WHO only to
women of child-bearing age contained human Chorionic Gonadotrophin or
hCG, a natural hormone which when combined with a tetanus toxoid carrier
stimulated antibodies rendering a woman incapable of maintaining a pregnancy.
None of the women vaccinated were told.
It later came out that the Rockefeller Foundation along with the Rockefeller’
s Population Council, the World Bank (home to CGIAR), and the United States’
National Institutes of Health had been involved in a 20-year-long project
begun in 1972 to develop the concealed abortion vaccine with a tetanus
carrier for WHO. In addition, the Government of Norway, the host to the
Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault, donated $41 million to develop the special
abortive Tetanus vaccine. 12
Is it a coincidence that these same organizations, from Norway to the
Rockefeller Foundation to the World Bank are also involved in the Svalbard
seed bank project? According to Prof. Francis Boyle who drafted the Biological
Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 enacted by the US Congress, the Pentagon
is ‘now gearing up to fight and win biological warfare’ as part of two
Bush national strategy directives adopted, he notes, ‘without public
knowledge and review’ in 2002. Boyle adds that in 2001-2004 alone the
US Federal Government spent $14.5 billion for civilian bio-warfare-related
work, a staggering sum.
Rutgers University biologist Richard Ebright estimates that over 300 scientific
institutions and some 12,000 individuals in the USA today have access
to pathogens suitable for biowarfare. Alone there are 497 US Government
NIH grants for research into infectious diseases with biowarfare potential.
Of course this is being justified under the rubric of defending against
possible terror attack as so much is today.
Many of the US Government dollars spent on biowarfare research involve
genetic engineering. MIT biology professor Jonathan King says that the
‘growing bio-terror programs represent a significant emerging danger
to our own population.’ King adds, ‘while such programs are always called
defensive, with biological weapons, defensive and offensive programs overlap
almost completely.’ 13
Time will tell whether, God Forbid, the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Bank of
Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation is part of another Final Solution,
this involving the extinction of the Late, Great Planet Earth.
