STORY AT-A-GLANCE
·
Bill Gates is entering
every field that has to do with sustaining life and, for over a decade, has
undermined vitality in all its forms, in an effort to seize control over and
profit from it
·
By funding research
and financing public institutions, Gates is able to force those institutions
down a path where they can only use his patented intellectual property
·
While pretending to
save the world through philanthropy, Gates’ solutions perpetuate and worsen the
world’s problems. They may even threaten the future of humanity, as they’re
driving us closer to extinction
·
Through his company,
Gates Ag One, Gates is pushing for one type of agriculture for the whole world,
organized top, down. This includes digital farming, in which farmers are
surveilled and mined for their agricultural data, which is then repackaged and
sold back to them
·
The answer to the
environmental problems we face is not more of the very things that created the
problems in the first place, which is what Gates proposes. The answer is regenerative
agriculture and real food
This
article was previously published on April 4, 2021 and has been updated with new
information.
In this interview, Vandana Shiva, Ph.D.,
discusses the importance and benefits of regenerative agriculture and a future
Regeneration International project that we'll be collaborating on.
We're currently facing enormously powerful
technocrats who are hell-bent on ushering the Great Reset, a World Economic
Forum (WEF) plan, which will complete the ongoing transfer of wealth and
resource ownership from the poor and middle classes to the ultra-rich. Perhaps
the most well-known of the individuals pushing for this is Bill Gates who, like
John Rockefeller a century before him, rehabilitated his sorely tarnished image
by turning to philanthropy.
However, Gates' brand of philanthropy, so
far, has helped few and harmed many. While his PR machine has managed to turn
public opinion about him such that many now view him as a global savior who
donates his wealth for the good of the planet, nothing could be further from
the truth.
Gates'
Stranglehold on Global Health
The magnitude of Gates' role over global
health recently dawned on me. I believe the COVID-19 catastrophe would not have
been possible had it not been for the World Health Organization, which Gates
appears to exert shadow-control over. Remember, it was primarily the WHO that
facilitated this global shutdown and adoption of freedom-robbing,
economy-destroying measures by virtually every government on the planet.
When then-President Trump halted U.S.
funding of the WHO in 2020, Gates became the biggest funder of the WHO. With
the outside influences of entities like the WEF and Gates, the WHO has turned
global health security into a dictatorship, where the director general has
assumed sole power to make decisions that member states must abide by, but
according to a long-term WHO insider, Gates' vaccine alliance GAVI actually
appears to be the directing power behind the WHO.
The two — Gates and the WHO — have been
working hand in hand pushing for a global vaccination campaign, and Gates has a
great deal of money invested in these vaccines. We've also seen extraordinary
efforts to censor natural alternatives and inexpensive, readily available and
clearly effective drugs, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, and it
appears the reason for this is probably because they're competitors to the
vaccine.
Emergency use authorization for pandemic
vaccines are only given when there are no other treatments, so vilifying
alternatives has been a key strategy to protect vaccine profits.
The Parallels
Between Rockefeller and Gates
As noted by Shiva, the comparisons between
Rockefeller and Gates are quite apt. Rockefeller created not just Big Oil but
also Big Finance and Big Pharma. He had intimate connections with IG Farben.1 There was a Standard Oil IG Farben company. Without the fossil
fuels of Standard Oil, IG Farben couldn't have made synthetic fertilizers or
fuels.
In 1910, Rockefeller and Carnegie produced
The Flexner Report,2 which was the beginning of the end for natural
medicine in the conventional medical school curriculum. They eliminated it
because it saw natural medicine as a hugely competitive threat to the new
pharmaceuticals that were primarily derived from the oil industry.
Much of Rockefeller's history has been
captured by Lily Kay,3 who sifted through Molecular Vision of Life's
archives. There, she discovered that the Nazi regime, which was a eugenics
regime that thought some people were inferior and needed to be exterminated to
keep the superior race pure, didn't vanish when Germany lost the war.
Eugenics simply migrated to the U.S., and
were taken up by Rockefeller under the term of "social psychology as
biological determinants." The word gene did not exist at that time.
Instead, they called it "atoms of determinism." Rockefeller paid for
much of the eugenics research, which ultimately resulted in the silencing and
suppression of true health.
To be healthy means to be whole, and
wholeness refers to the "self-organized brilliance of your integrated body
as a complex system," Shiva says. That's what Ayurveda is based on, and
even this ancient system of medicine has been attacked in recent times. The
notion of genetic determination ignores this foundational wholeness, seeking
instead to divide the human body into mechanical components controlled by your
genes.
"Coming back to the parallels, Rockefeller was
behind it because he was driving the chemical industry. When the wars were
over, they said, 'Oh my gosh, we have all these chemicals to sell.' And they
invented the Green Revolution and pushed the Green Revolution on India.
Rockefeller, the World Bank, the USA all worked
together, and if the farmers of India are protesting today, it's a result of
Rockefeller's initiative, the Green Revolution in India. Most people don't
realize what high cost India has borne; what high cost the state of Panjon has
born.
Then you have Gates joining up with Rockefeller and
creating the Alliance for the Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) … which
pretends to be his solution to climate change. I say, 'My god, what kind of
stage has the world reached that absolute nonsense can pass the science?' I'll
give you just three examples from his chapter on agriculture, in which he talks
about how we grow things.
First of all, plants are not things. Plants are
sentient beings. Our culture knows it. We have the sacred tulsi. We have the
sacred neem. We have the sacred banyan. They are sentient beings. So many
people are awake to animal rights. I think we need more people awake to plant
rights and really tell Mr. Gates, 'No, plants are not things.'
He goes on to celebrate Norman Borlaug, who was in the
DuPont defense lab, whose job it was to push these four chemicals by adapting
the plants [to them]. So, he created the dwarf variety, because the tall
varieties are free varieties … [Gates] says we're eating food because of
Borlaug. No, people are starving because of Borlaug. The farmers
are dying because of Borlaug."
Gates Offers
Problems as Solutions
Gates hails synthetic fertilizer is the
greatest agricultural invention. "Doesn't he realize synthetic nitrogen
fertilizers are creating desertification, dead zones in the ocean, and nitrous
oxide, which is a greenhouse gas?" Shiva says. In short, he's offering the
problem as the solution. Gates also, apparently, does not understand that
nitrogen-fixing plants can fix nitrogen. He incorrectly claims that plants
cannot fix nitrogen.
Gates is equally wrong
about methane production from livestock. "Have you smelt methane behind
nomadic tribes?" Shiva asks. "Have you ever smelt methane behind our
sacred cow in India? No, they don't emit methane." The reason cows in concentrated
animal feeding operations (CAFOs) emit methane that stinks to high heaven is
because they're fed an unnatural diet of grains and placed in crowded quarters.
It's not a natural phenomenon. It's a man-made one.
"You know what Mr. Gates wants to teach us? He
says cows make methane because of their poor stomachs," Shiva says. "They call them containers. I think
we should sue him for undoing basic biology 101. You've talked about how he
controls the WHO. He's also trying to take control of the Food and Agricultural
Organization (FAO).
[FAO] has recognized ecological agriculture is the way
to go and supported [regenerative] agriculture up until last year, when Gates
started to take charge. Now he's moving the food summit to New York. Five
hundred organizations have said, 'This is no longer a food summit, it's a
poison summit. The poison cartel and Bill Gates are running it to push more
poisons, now under new names. So, we have a lot of work to do.'"
The answer to the environmental problems
we face is not more of the very things that created the problems in the first
place, which is what Gates proposes. The answer is regenerative agriculture and real food.
"When people are eating healthy food, there is no
problem," Shiva says.
"[Gates] wants to commit a crime against our gut microbiome, pushing more
fake food through Impossible Food. And he wants to create conditions so that
real food will disappear. That's why we all have to organize together and the
scientists have to start being protected.
There's an extinction taking place. They call it the
sixth mass extinction. Most people think the sixth mass extinction is about
other species. They don't realize large parts of humanity are being pushed to
extinction. Food is health, as Hippocrates said, [and that requires] indigenous
systems of learning, ecological agriculture, small farmers.
In Bill Gates' design, all this that makes life, life,
that makes society, society, that makes community, community, that makes
healthy beings, he would like to push this to extinction because he's afraid of
independence, freedom, health and our beingness. He wants us to be 'thingness,'
but we are beings …
The worst crime against the Earth and against humanity
is using gene editing technologies for gene drives, which is a collaboration of
Gates with DARPA, the defense research system. Gene drives are deliberately
driving [us] to extinction. Now he does it in the name of ending malaria. No.
It's about driving to extinction.
Amaranth is a sacred food for us. It's a very, very
important source of nutrition … There's an application in that DARPA-Gates
report of driving the amaranth to extinction through gene rights. And when this
was raised at the Convention on Biological Diversity, do you know what he did?
He actually hired a public relations agency and bribed government
representatives to not say no. Can you imagine?"
Gates'
Long-Term Play
Gates clearly had a long-term vision in
mind from the start. His growing control of the WHO began over a decade ago.
Over this span of time, he also started transitioning into Big Pharma and the
fake food industry, which includes lab-grown meats from companies like Beyond
Meat and Impossible Foods, and which would allow his influence over the WHO's
global health recommendations to really pay off.
While fake foods have many potential
problems, one in particular is elevated levels of the omega-6 fat linoleic acid
(LA). If you eat real food, you're going to get more than enough LA. Our
industrial Western diet, however, provides far more than is needed for optimal
health already, and engineered meats are particularly loaded with LA, as
they're made with genetically modified soy oil and canola oil.
This massive excess of LA will encourage
and promote virtually all degenerative diseases, thereby accelerating the
destruction of human health. In addition to that, Gates is also investing in
pharmaceuticals, which of course are touted as the answer to degenerative
disease. Again, his solutions to ill health are actually the problem. Shiva
says:
"Gates … [is] entering every field that has to do
with life. Our work in Navdanya, which means nine seeds, is basically work on
biodiversity in agriculture. We started to bring together all the work that
he's doing in taking over. I mentioned the Rockefeller Green Revolution, now
the Gates-Rockefeller Green Revolution in Africa. The next step he wants to
push is … digital agriculture.
He calls it Gates Ag One,4 and the headquarters of this is exactly where
the Monsanto headquarters are, in St. Louis, Missouri. Gates Ag One is one
[type of] agriculture for the whole world, organized top down. He's written
about it. We have a whole section on it in our new report,5 'Gates to a Global Empire.'"
Stolen Farmer
Data Is Repackaged and Sold Back to Them
What does digital agriculture entail? For
starters, it entails the introduction of a digital surveillance system. So far,
Shiva's organization has managed to prevent Gates from introducing a seed
surveillance startup, where farmers would not be allowed to grow seeds unless
approved by Gates' surveillance system.
The data mining, Shiva says, is needed
because they don't actually know agriculture. This is why Gates finances the
policing of farmers. He needs to mine their data to learn how farming is
actually done. This knowledge is then repackaged and sold back to the farmers.
It's evil genius at its finest.
Through his funding, Gates now also
controls the world's seed supply, and his financing of gene editing research
has undercut biosafety laws across the world. As explained by Shiva, the only
country that doesn't have biosafety laws is the U.S. "The rest of the
world does because we have a treaty called the Cartagena Protocol on
Biosafety," she says.
"While he created the appearance of philanthropy,
what he's doing is giving tiny bits of money to very vital institutions. But
with those bits of money, they attract government money, which was running
those institutions. Now, because of his clout, he is taking control of the
agenda of these institutions. In the meantime, he's pushing patenting, be it on
drugs, vaccines or on seeds."
Taken together, Gates ends up wielding
enormous control over global agriculture and food production, and there's
virtually no evidence to suggest he has good intentions.
The Anatomy
of Monopolization
The company that collects patents on
gene-edited organisms, both in health and agriculture, is Editas, founded by a
main financial investor for the Gates Foundation. Gates is also a big investor
in Editas.
"So, here's a company called Editas to edit the
world as if it is a Word program. The two scientists who got the Nobel Prize
this year have both been funded in their research by Gates. My mind went back to
how Rockefeller financed the research, got the Nobel Prize, and then made the
money.
So, you finance the research. Then you finance the
public institutions, whether they be national or international. You invest and
force them down the path where they can only use what is your patented
intellectual property. And, as he has said in an interview, his smartest
investment was vaccines, because it is a 1-to-20 return. Put $1 in and make
$20. How many billions of dollars have been put in? You can imagine how many
trillions will be made.
At the end of it, where does food come from? It comes
from seed. He wants to control it. It comes from land. He's controlling that.
He's became the biggest farmland owner [in the U.S.]. But you need weather
[control]. You need a stable climate.
So, what could be a weapon of control of agriculture?
Weather modification. He calls it geoengineering. This is engineering of the
climate. Again, making it look like he's going to solve global warming by
creating global cooling."
As explained by Shiva, Gates is also
heavily invested in climate modification technologies that not only will
destabilize the earth's climate systems more, but also can be weaponized
against the people by controlling rainfall and drought. In India, they've been
having massive hail during harvest time, which destroys the harvest.
Is the UN
Subservient to Gates?
According to Shiva, Gates is also
corrupting the United Nations system, just like he's corrupted world
governments and the WHO, and in so doing, he's destroying the efforts built
over the last three decades to protect the global environment.
"Whether it be the climate treaty, the
biodiversity treaty or the atmospheric treaties, he is absolutely behaving as
if the UN is his subservient institution," Shiva says. "[He thinks] governments and
regulatory bodies should not exist … and that people in democracy have no
business to speak. [If they do], they're conspiracy theorists."
Taking Down
Gates' Empires
As it stands right now, ordinary people
are forced to fight battles that are in actuality rooted in institutional,
structural and societal crimes. These crimes really need to be addressed the
way Rockefeller's Standard Oil empire was addressed. In the case of Gates, his
empire is actually multiple empires, and they all need to be dismantled. To
that end, I will be collaborating with Shiva and Regeneration International,
which she co-founded, on a project to boycott Gates' empires.
"I've noticed that no matter what the movement,
they're using the word regeneration now. It could be a health movement, a
democracy movement, a peace movement, a women's movement — everyone has
realized that regeneration is what we have to shift to," Shiva says.
"So, what do we need to be doing in the next
decade? For me, the next decade is the determining decade, because these petty
minds' insatiable greed want to go so fast that if, in the next decade, we
don't protect what has to be protected, build resilient alternatives and take
away the sainthood from this criminal, they will leave nothing much to be
saved.
The poison cartel is also big pharma. People think
agriculture is here, medicine is there. No. The same criminal corporations gave
us agrichemicals. They gave us bad medicine that creates more disease than it
solves. So, Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Poison — it's all one. And Bill Gates is
holding it all together even more, and trying to make them bigger because he
has investments in all of them …
I think [seeds] is where we have to begin … I'm hoping
that we will be able, together, to launch a global movement soon to take back
our seeds from the international seed banks. The strategy is we need to remind
the world that these are public institutions [and] that they're accountable to
the farmers whose collections these [seeds] are ...
On the food question, I think that's the big one
because food and health go [together]. In Ayurveda, it says food is the best
medicine, and if you don't eat good food, then no medicine can cure whatever
disease you have. The best medicine is good eating. And Hippocrates said 'Let
food be thy medicine.' So, I think this is the time to really grow a very big
global campaign for food freedom.
Food freedom means you cannot destroy our right to
grow food. Secondly, you cannot destroy our governments' obligations to us to
support regenerative agriculture rather than support degenerative agriculture
and subsidize it. And third, I think we should call for a worldwide boycott of
lab foods …
Another part of this should be, don't let big tech
enter our bodies. Let big tech not enter life sciences … These guys will make
life illegal. Living will be illegal except as a little piece in their machine
through their permission."
Each year, Navdanya holds a two-week
campaign on food freedom starting October 2, which is International Day of
Nonviolence day. We now need to take that campaign to the global stage, and I
will do my part to aid this effort. So, mark your calendar and prepare to join
us in a global boycott of food that makes you sick — processed food, GMO foods,
lab-created foods, fake meats, all of it.
More
Information
You can learn more about Shiva's work and
her many projects on Navdanya.org. During the first week of April every year, Navdanya gives a five-day
course called Annam, Food as Health, via Zoom. In this course, you'll learn about soil
and plant biodiversity and healthy eating for optimal health.
You can also learn more by reading the
report "Earth Rising, Women Rising: Regenerating the Earth,
Seeding the Future,"
written by female farmers. And, again, mark your calendars and plan your
participation in the food freedom campaign, starting October 2, 2021.
"When all the spiritual forces, all of nature's
forces and most of people's forces are aligned together, what can [a few]
billionaires, technocrats — who want to be richer than they are, greedier than
they are, more violent than they are — do?" Shiva says. "They don't count in the long run,
really. It's just that we cannot afford to not do the things that we can do."

How Conventional Farming Is Stopping You From Getting Your Essential Nutrients
The industrialized farming industry provides us with tons of affordable food every day, giving us a sense of security through the constant food supply it produces. But it comes at a steep price: Conventional farming has led to the widespread use of chemical-based pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers, which has depleted the world’s soil, and is stripping your food’s nutritional value.
In addition to the content of your vegetable and fruit baskets, meats and other animal products have fallen victim to poor ethics as well. Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are now commonplace in the U.S., with 55 percent of pork and 72 percent of poultry being sourced from these factory farms.1
In CAFOs, animals are kept in confined spaces, where they are forced to roam around in their own waste and given corn- and soy-based GMO feeds. Not only is this inhumane, but it also drastically changes the components and nutrient levels in your food – you end up paying a relatively high price for low-cost animal products.Industrialized Farming Is Contaminating Our Soil and Water
Aside from destroying the quality of our food, industrialized farming is also slowly destroying our soil. The highly mechanized process that ensures speed in farming has started to degrade the soil our plants need for nutrients, slowly rendering it infertile or even sterile.
Our major water sources are also getting contaminated because of the chemical runoff from all these industrialized farms, not to mention all the pollution CAFOs are releasing into our waterways each day. This just goes to show that industrialized farming does not, in any way, promote a healthy ecosystem. It’s just a way to guarantee that all of our resources become so polluted that we’ll eventually render our planet uninhabitable.
Regenerative Agriculture Can Offer Us a Better World
The good news is that there is a way out of this mess, and that is through regenerative agriculture.
Numerous farms around the world have started switching to regenerative agriculture, which gives us hope that we’re not entirely on the road to destruction. Regenerative agriculture focuses on helping the environment heal from years and years of human abuse. It aims to bring back to the soil what has been depleted, which means that we’re getting back the minerals and nutrients that we are supposed to be getting.
If you’re like me and you’re hell-bent on learning the basic principles of regenerative agriculture and how to promote it in your own land or garden, Regenerative Agriculture: The Sustainable Way to Heal the Environment will surely be of use to you. This e-guide will teach you:
- What the basic principles of regenerative agriculture are
- The benefits you can get from promoting regenerative agriculture
- Tips and tricks on how you can use regenerative practices in your own garden
Start following the basic principles in this e-guide and immediately start contributing to the collective effort of helping our environment heal and regenerate after years of abuse. Start taking control of your health now by helping the soil and the ecosystem recover.
