Few people saw the real driving force behind

'Agenda 21' and the 'Biodiversity Convention in 1992.'

 

This article is necessarily long and detailed.

 

Some may find it difficult to follow.

 

However, the research is explosive and gives

a new and poignant explanation

of how and why the world was thrown upside down

with a pandemic narrative orchestrated by

Big Pharma and the biotechnology industries.

In the interest of space,

I have purposefully left out

other important areas that tie into this story.

 

One is the Transhuman dream

of creating Humanity 2.0 via genetic engineering.

 

Another is how it ties into the

World Economic Forum's Great Reset,

which contains a rich narrative on Transhumanism

and resetting the human race.

 

Lastly, what is the full meaning of

"Living in harmony with nature."

 

These will be explored in future articles.

My sincere hope is that

other investigative journalists

and researchers will pick up

the trail and blow the lid off the greatest story

never (yet) told on planet earth.


 

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The major concern at the 1992 Convention on Biodiversity was "protecting the pharmaceutical and emerging biotechnology industries."
     

  • The United Nations defined Biodiversity as "genetic resources", which meant that genetic material was to be owned, exploited, and controlled through genetic engineering performed by the Biotech industry.
     

  • The Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework calls for digital genetic sequencing of all species, including humans, to be stored as a global common asset and made available for licensing by the biotechnology industry.
     

  • It intends to "bring about a transformation in society's relationship with biodiversity and to ensure that, by 2050, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled."

 

 

 

Introduction


In 1992, the original UN Convention on Biological Diversity was conducted in parallel with the Agenda 21 Conference under the name of the UN Conference on Economic Development (UNCED).

 

Both were held in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, and were sponsored by the,

  • United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP)

  • United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

  • International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)...

Agenda 21 was called "the agenda for the 21st century" and was centered around Sustainable Development, a resource-based economic system closely resembling historic Technocracy. 1

According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development:

Sustainable development has been defined in many ways, but the most frequently quoted definition is from Our Common Future, also known as the Brundtland Report:

"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." 2

The book, Our Common Future, was published in 1987 and became the blueprint for the Rio conference just 5 years later.

 

The author and head of the UN study known as the Brundtland Commission, was chaired by Trilateral Commission member Gro Harlem Brundtland.

 

She was the Prime Minister of Norway and previously, the Minister of the Environment.

 

It is no surprise that a Trilateral Commission member created this policy that has literally turned the world upside down.

 

In fact, it was the Trilateral Commission in 1973 who originally declared that their members would create its self-declared "New International Economic Order". (see Trilaterals Over Washington - Volumes I and II, Wood & Sutton)

The Rio conference proposed the question, what can be done to save the world from excessive development that causes pollution, global warming, loss of rain forests, etc.

 

The answer was that more development was needed and by the same actors that were previously wrecking habitats and plundering nations.

In other words, more development was needed to erase the effects of previous development.

Brundtland convinced the UN that this somehow made sense, and it was subsequently adopted as,

"the agenda for the 21st century" in 1992.

Others saw through the smoke and mirrors...

Two environmental researchers and authors noted in their book, The Earth Brokers:

"free trade and its promoters came to be seen as the solution to the global ecological crisis." 3

They could not have been more blunt:

"We argue that UNCED has boosted precisely the type of industrial development that is destructive for the environment, the planet, and its inhabitants.

 

We see how, as a result of UNCED, the rich will get richer, the poor poorer, while more and more of the planet is destroyed in the process." 4

In 2021, this result could not be more clearly seen:

the rich are off the charts, the poor are in the gutters and the planet and its economic systems are in tatters.

How did we get here?

 

Here is the first hint when they concluded:

"Neither Brundtland, nor the secretariat, nor the governments drafted plan to examine the pitfalls of free trade and industrial development.

 

Instead, they wrote up a convention on how to 'develop' the use of biodiversity through patents and biotechnology." 5

For all else that UNCED purported to be, its true mission was capturing and using biodiversity for the sake of the biotechnology industry.

This fact has been largely overlooked until the Great ('pandemic') Panic of 2020, when it became apparent that the global takeover was being orchestrated by elements of that very same biotechnology industry.

Agenda for the 21st century, indeed...

 

 

 


What Biodiversity really means

Once I learned what to look for, I saw it everywhere.

 

Let's start with Our Common Future (Brundtland, 1987):

"The diversity of species is necessary for the normal functioning of ecosystems and the biosphere as a whole.

 

The genetic material in wild species contributes billions of dollars yearly to the world economy in the form of improved crop species, new drugs and medicines, and raw materials for industry." 6

The specific development of biodiversity is seen in Chapter 6, Species and Ecosystems: Resources for Development:

"Species and their genetic materials promise to play an expanding role in development, and a powerful economic rationale is emerging to bolster the ethical, aesthetic, and scientific case for preserving them.

 

The genetic variability and germplasm material of species make contributions to agriculture, medicine, and industry worth many billions of dollars per year...

 

If nations can ensure the survival of species, the world can look forward to new and improved foods, new drugs and medicines, and new raw materials for industry." 7

Further on, Brundtland states:

"Vast stocks of biological diversity are in danger of disappearing just as science is leaning how to exploit genetic variability through the advances of genetic engineering...

 

It would be grim irony indeed if just as new genetic engineering techniques begin to let us peer into life's diversity and use genes more efficiently to better human conditions, we looked and found this treasure sadly depleted." 8

 

- Conclusion #1:

The word "biodiversity" is explained to mean "genetic resources".

 

Genes are something to be exploited and used more efficiently than they are used in their natural state.

Turning back to The Earth Brokers, the authors' observations provide an eye-witness account of what they actually saw at the UNCED and Biodiversity Convention summit:

"The convention implicitly equates the diversity of life - animals and plants - to the diversity of genetic codes, for which read genetic resources.

 

By doing so, diversity becomes something that modern science can manipulate.

 

Finally, the convention promotes biotechnology as being 'essential for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity." 9

If there is any doubt as to what the goal is, they conclude with this mind-blowing statement:

"The main stake raised by the Biodiversity Convention is the issue of ownership and control over biological diversity... the major concern was protecting the pharmaceutical and emerging biotechnology industries." 10

To reinforce the thought, the authors bluntly stated,

"they wrote up a convention on how to 'develop' the use of biodiversity through patents and biotechnology." 11

Note carefully that ownership and control over genes was not a side issue or a minor stake:

It was the MAIN STAKE...!


- Conclusion #2:

Genetic resources means genetic material is to be owned, exploited and controlled through genetic engineering performed by the Biotech industry.



- Conclusion #3:

UNCED and Agenda 21 was largely a smokescreen to obscure the reality of Conclusion #2.

Despite the fact than the UNCED conference was expected to bridge the gaps between the North and South, it was apparent that it was totally dominated by the developed nations of the North.

 

The Earth Brokers explained that all solutions were provided by,

"Western science, Western technology, Western information, Western training, Western money and Western institutions." 12


- Conclusion #4:

The third world was being set up to be plundered yet once again, in the name of Sustainable Development and Biodiversity.

 

The prize is genetic engineering and ownership of the resulting genetically engineered products.

 

 


It Is Consistent throughout UN Documents

In the same year as the UNCED conference in 1992, UNEP and IUCN published the Global Biodiversity Strategy as "Guidelines for Action to Save, Study, and Use Earth's Biotic Wealth Sustainably and Equitably". 13

 

The same themes were presented, but carefully so in order to get the third world's participation.

 

For all of the new anticipated revenue generated by the biotech companies, a royalty revenue stream was promised to the originating countries.

Under the subtitle, Promote recognition of the value of local knowledge and genetic resources and affirm local peoples' rights, concerns over Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are noted:

"Any collection agreements should reflect the concepts of just compensation and accountability, and codes of conduct should apply to genetic resource collectors, anthropologists, or other researchers studying local peoples or local resource management. In some cases, contracts may be needed to ensure the return of royalties or other benefits to local communities or individuals." 14

Elsewhere it stated:

"Since biotechnology depends on biodiversity for its raw material, the value of genetic resources will grow with the industry." 15

 

Conclusion #5:

Biodiversity is not about preserving species, but rather it is the source of raw materials for the biotech industry, for which it should pay royalties on commercial products back to the original points of collection.

Of course, just the opposite has happened.

 

Monsanto, for instance, developed and patented genetically modified crop seed, and then proceeded to force the farmers to pay royalties for the use of the seeds, instead of the other way around.

 

Headlines like,

"Monsanto Bullies Small Farmers", "Argentine farmers will pay royalties to seed companies" and "How Monsanto wrote and broke laws to enter India" were common.

Indeed, publications like Global Biodiversity Strategy and the Global Biodiversity Assessment were only needed to get the signatures of 196 or so nations of the world to agree to a fantasy that would never happen.

 

Once signed, the United Nations and its myriad of NGO actors would hold those nations to the treaties and agreements, regardless of the harm and pain being caused to those very same nations.

 

 


Game Change - The Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

In the same way that Agenda 21 was updated by 2030 Agenda in 2015, the Global Biodiversity Convention is currently being refined by the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

 

Although it will culminate in 2022, working groups have been busy since 2020, creating the various elements that will go into the completed framework.

Because biotechnology and genetic science has progressed so rapidly over the last 25 years, the previous phrase "genetic resources" is now deemed to be unsuitable going forward, and it is being replaced with the phrase "digital sequence information on genetic resources":

According to the National Human Genome Research Institute, the concept of "digital sequencing" is described as:

"Sequencing DNA means determining the order of the four chemical building blocks - called "bases" - that make up the DNA molecule.

 

The sequence tells scientists the kind of genetic information that is carried in a particular DNA segment.

 

For example, scientists can use sequence information to determine which stretches of DNA contain genes and which stretches carry regulatory instructions, turning genes on or off.

 

In addition, and importantly, sequence data can highlight changes in a gene that may cause disease.

In the DNA double helix, the four chemical bases always bond with the same partner to form "base pairs."

  • Adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T)

  • Cytosine (C) always pairs with guanine (G)

This pairing is the basis for the mechanism by which DNA molecules are copied when cells divide, and the pairing also underlies the methods by which most DNA sequencing experiments are done.

 

The human genome contains about 3 billion base pairs that spell out the instructions for making and maintaining a human being." 16

The principal is identical for all life forms on earth, all of which have DNA that can be sequenced and fed into a computer for storage, retrieval, and analysis.

 

It also envisions synthetic biology where DNA is reengineered in ways that do not occur in nature, for the sake of "improvement" and "wellbeing" for the environment.

According to the Report of the Open-Ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework on its Third Meeting (Aug.-Sept. 2021):

[The working group] recognizes,

  • "the intrinsic relation between genetic resources and digital sequence information on genetic resources, as well as the scope of bioinformatic tools in the design and creation of new digital sequence information on genetic resources elements that are created artificially

     

  • that digital sequence information on genetic resources are not genetic resources as defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity (1992)

     

  • that access to and utilization of digital sequence information on genetic resources is useful for research relating to conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, food security, health and other important sectors, including commercial applications resulting in commercial products." 17

Interestingly, another item notes that,

"any approach to address digital sequence information on genetic resources should provide for the special status of pathogens of pandemic potential." 18

To say that this change of definition, approach and meanings are minor is rebutted by the fact that the phrase "digital sequence information on genetic resources" is used 167 times across the 167 pages of the document, that is,

on average, one mention per page...

Yes, it is a major doctrine and it is a sea change of opportunity for the biotech industry to meddle with all life systems on earth in order to make them more "sustainable."

- Conclusion #6:

All species of life are to be digitally sequenced, placed into a database, recognized as a global common asset and made available for "licensing" by the biotech industry.

 

 


Conclusion

Mapping of the Human Genome took most of the 1990s.

 

Mapping the human brain, which started in 2010, is virtually complete.

 

Now, mapping all DNA on earth, including human DNA, is the next big Technocrat/Transhuman dream.

The outcome will be genetic manipulation of any or all living creatures and the creation of synthetic DNA that does not currently exist in nature.

All of this is headed toward an overriding goal that has been misread by researchers and authors.

 

It now takes on a frightening dimension:

"The post-2020 global biodiversity framework builds on the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and sets out an ambitious plan to implement broad-based action to bring about a transformation in society's relationship with biodiversity and to ensure that, by 2050, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled." 19

How do we get there from here...?

 

The same paper discusses its "theory of change" that it supports with the figure below:

 

 

 

 

The keys to interpret this figure are contained in this paper.

It is never declared exactly who shares this so-called vision of "living in harmony with nature", but it certainly isn't anyone who grasps the facts presented in this paper.

 

Hiding behind benevolent concepts such as 'eliminating poverty' and 'providing education for all,' is a cadre of genetic engineers intent on making life "sustainable" on planet earth by simply changing the structure and nature of life that consumes resources, including humanity itself.

The mad global dash to inject synthetic mRNA and synthetic DNA into the arms of every human on earth should make a little more sense to the reader.

 

This is their shared vision,

to bridge the gap between humanity and nature to be "living in harmony" with it, to balance the scales of resources vs. consumption, to create new markets for new products, to bring to life the transhuman dream of modifying DNA to achieve life extension and ultimately, immortality.

This has happened right under our noses while everyone's attention was focused on other issues.

 

What we thought were the key issues of Agenda 21, the 2030 Agenda, Biodiversity Convention, etc., were indeed real issues, but they were not the main issue.

Indeed, the main issue is,

the takeover of all genetic material on earth...
