Last week
we looked at the ways that an engineered food crisis (or the
perception of a crisis) is being used as an excuse to
reengineer our food supply.
From,
...the future of "food" is shaping up to be
radically different from anything you've eaten before.
But in order to
truly do something to derail the runaway train that is the Great
Food Reset, we must first understand it. And in order to understand
it, we have to know something about the people behind this agenda.
This week, we must
answer the question:
Who is Behind
the Great Food Reset?
The Rockefeller Foundation
The
Rockefeller
family and their namesake foundation are in many ways,
the
progenitors and the architects of the Great Food Reset...
In fact, the very
term "agribusiness" emerged from the Harvard
Business School out of research conducted by Wassily Leontief
under a Rockefeller
Foundation grant.
From the beginning
of the so-called "Green Revolution" to the so-called "Gene
Revolution," the Rockefellers have been there, helping to move
things along with their "philanthropic" donations.
They created the
Mexican Agricultural Program, which was
criticized from its very inception for trying to standardize and
commercialize traditional Mexican farming practices in order to
benefit of the Rockefellers and their corporate cronies.
They created the
International Basic Economy Corporation in Brazil to
industrialize that nation's agricultural sector, with the explicit
aim of hooking its farmers on expensive machinery and Rockefeller
petroleum products and finding a sustainable business model in the
process.
It was John D.
Rockefeller III who, when
sitting on the Board of Trustees of the Ford Foundation, convinced his fellow oiligarchs,
to join the "Green Revolution" by
founding the
Intensive Agriculture District Program in India, which
exacerbated the disparity between rich feudal landowners and poor
farming peasants.
And then of course
there's the Rockefeller's work in Africa, which today takes the form
of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.
AGRA's stated goal
is to "elevate the single African voice" on the world stage.
It all sounds nice
and fuzzy until you learn that 200 organizations have come together
to
denounce the alliance and its activities.
They claim that the
group has not only,
"unequivocally
failed in its mission" but has actually "harmed broader
efforts to support African farmers."
As you might
imagine, the Rockefellers' influence over the global agricultural
sector is not simply a thing of the past.
Their family's
foundation continues to wield an inordinate amount of power over
what ends up on your dinner plate and how it gets there.
One ominous case in
point:
the foundation's July 2020 report - released mere months into
the scamdemic,
"predicting" that the generated health crisis would
lead to a very real food crisis and that America would face "a
hunger and nutrition crisis unlike any this country has seen in
generations."
And their
proposed solution to this crisis?
Subsidies for
small farmers?
Development of
community gardens?
A new food
sovereignty campaign encouraging people to get their hands dirty
and start growing more food themselves?
Of course not...
On the contrary,
the Rockefeller Foundation wants a
further centralization of control over the food supply,
including,
"a new,
integrated nutrition security system."
Yes, you read that
right, folks:
feeding the
hungry is now a "nutrition security" problem that can only be
solved by massive federal intervention in the food sector.
Oh, and the title
of this report?
"Reset
the Table: Meeting the Moment to Transform the U.S. Food System."
So, no, the
Rockefeller Foundation is not done meddling with the food supply.
In
fact, they're just getting started...
Bill Gates,
Jr.
Given Bill
Gates, Sr.'s 2009 admission that he had looked to the Rockefeller
Foundation as an example to follow when helping his son set up the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - noting not just the Rockefellers'
influence in the field of global health but also
specifically citing their work in agriculture and farming,
it's
no surprise Bill Gates, Jr. is now so heavily invested
in the Great Food Reset.
Of course, he is
literally invested in the food reset through his financing of the
fake meat industry.
Gates was, infamously, an important
early backer of "Impossible Burger" and its lab-grown synthetic
biology food substitute. He also
provided capital to
Impossible rival Beyond Meat... until Beyond's stock began to
crumble.
Miraculously, the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust was able to divest itself of
its Beyond Meat stock
right before the shares tanked in 2019. (The Gateses must be
super-shrewd investors!)
But it gets worse...
As
PleaseStopTheRide.com has
pointed out, Gates is also investing millions into "hacking
your microbiome" to reengineer humans' gut bacteria.
You see, as it
turns out, researchers are discovering that the microbiome - the
mixture of bacteria, fungi and viruses that develop in the gut - can
have serious effects on children's physical and mental development,
especially in the first year of life.
And what does Gates
do when he sees an important process that can help him to gain even
further control over the human population.
Hack it,
naturally!
But it's for
your own good, of course...
Also, as many
people know by now, Bill Gates became the
biggest owner of US farmland in 2021.
Gee, I wonder,
why
someone who's so obsessed with completely reengineering the food
supply and making us dependent on the lab-grown synthetic food
substitutes he funds would be buying up farmland?
A real
head-scratcher, that one.
Speaking of
head-scratchers,
just why is Bill so passionate about pushing fake
meat on the public, anyway?
Why, to
appease the weather gods, of course...!
Speaking of fake
meat...
But if by chance
you were living under that rock, you wouldn't know why it's
called the eat "ze" bugs agenda.
Conspiracy
realists, however, will be able to clue you in:
it's in (dis)honour
of everyone's favorite Bond villain reject,
Klaus Schwab, the
founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.
Yes,
the WEF
is
behind many different aspects of the so-called
Fourth Industrial Revolution, and the eat ze bugs agenda is no exception.
Never
forget, it was Schwab who popularized the "Great Reset" rebranding
of the very old "New World Order" idea.
And Schwab's desire
to get humans off of traditional sources of protein and nutrients is
very much a part of that
Great Reset plan.
A quick search of
the word "insects" on the WEF website reveals that it has been
regularly promoting such hard-hitting journalistic pieces as:
The fat cats are
now unwinding after their hard week at Davos.
You can bet they're
not snacking down on cricket croquette or mealmoth
flambé... though they may expect you to.
But the Davos
despots had better watch their backs!
It turns out they have
competition...
The EAT Forum is an
organization cofounded by the Wellcome Trust (yes,
that
Wellcome Trust). It emerged from the Stockholm Food Forum, a
by-invitation-only conference on the business, science and politics
of food production that is sometimes billed as the "Davos for Food."
Never heard of EAT?
Its "About"
page reads like the usual corporate whitewash:
"EAT is a
non-profit dedicated to transforming our global food system
through sound science, impatient disruption and novel
partnerships."
But if the very
idea of a "Davos for Food" puts you off your lunch and EAT founder
and executive chairman Gunhild Stordalen gives you some
strong
Lieutenant Ilia vibes, then you might want to take a look at Dr.
Joseph Mercola's assessment of the group in
his article on the global technocrat cabal:
The EAT Forum’s
largest initiative is called FReSH, which aims to transform the
food system as a whole.
Project partners in this venture include
Bayer, Cargill, Syngenta, Unilever and Google.
EAT also
collaborates with nearly 40 city governments in Europe, Africa,
Asia, North America, South America and Australia, and helps the
Gates-funded United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) create
updated dietary guidelines.
Given a pedigree
like that, you'd expect that EAT Forum's advisory board to be
stacked with globalists, insiders and career supergophers for the
world's elite... and
you'd be right!
Unsurprisingly,
among its many
initiatives is "Shifting
Urban Diets," a plan to "demonstrate how scientific targets for
food systems can be operationalized in the city context" by adopting
the Lancet's "Planetary
Health Diet," a
WEF-promoted response to climate change hysteria that says you
should eat more vegetables to stop hurricanes... or
something like that.
Yes, the EAT Forum
may not have crossed your radar yet, but if its track record,
ambition to become the "Davos for food" and connections to seemingly
every globalist insider and crony corporation in the industrial food
system indicate anything, we'll be hearing a lot more about this
group in the near future.
Remember
last week, when I discussed
Henry
Kissinger's 1974 plan to start
using foreign aid as a weapon to encourage developing countries to
start sterilizing their population?
Well, then, it
won't shock you to learn that another organization with its hands in
the Great Food Reset pie is USAID. (Yes,
that USAID.)
The Board for
International Food and Agricultural Development (BIFAD) is,
according to USAID's website,
"a
seven-member, presidentially appointed advisory board to USAID
established in 1975 under Title XII of the Foreign Assistance
Act, as amended, to ensure that USAID brings the assets of U.S.
universities to bear on development challenges in agriculture
and food security and supports their representation in USAID
programming."
Last year, BIFAD,
in conjunction with "Feed
the Future" (the U.S. government’s global hunger and food
security initiative), released a working paper titled "Systemic
Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation."
The paper argues
that:
...a
perfect storm of circumstances in which supply chain issues,
regional agricultural and nutrition challenges, the ongoing
effects of the
COVID-19
'pandemic', and regional conflict have
combined to form a looming food security crisis.
After shoehorning
in some
climate change hysteria for good measure, they call for -
you guessed it,
a complete transformation of the food supply and
global agriculture!
Specifically,
BIFAD's "Systemic Change" subcommittee has been tasked with
providing,
"evidence-based
recommendations to accelerate inclusive systems change to
achieve transformative climate change adaptation and mitigation
outcomes in agriculture, nutrition, and food systems."
The subcommittee's
proposals for achieving this ambitious goal include:
-
linking
"carbon markets" to "regenerative agriculture" (i.e., the
financialization of nature that is all the rage in
globalist circles these days)
-
using
ESG scores as a way to pressure companies into
acquiescing to the vague, nebulous and ever-shifting demands
of the Food Reset mafia
-
and of
course, "the
promotion of insects as sustainable sources of proteins"...
The whole document
is couched in the bland bureaucratic doublespeak of "equity,"
"inclusion" and "sustainability."
Of course, it
avoids delving too deeply into the specifics of this fundamental
transformation of the food system that BIFAD is ostensibly
investigating.
But, if you know how to read between the lines, it
isn't hard to understand what the report is really saying...
USAID's
"leverage" over developing countries - specifically referenced no
less than 125 times - gives an insight into the Kissingerian
food-as-a-weapon mentality that is the very basis of USAID and its
mission.
The entire enterprise reeks of a neocolonial landgrab
masquerading as "philanthropy" - the kind of territorial taking that
people in Africa and elsewhere
have been warning about for decades.
This list of Great
Food Reset culprits is of course incomplete.
I haven't even
mentioned the participants in,
...any of a million other relevant players
and factors in this grand transformation.
But from this
(admittedly incomplete) exploration we can derive a general
understanding of the types of players that are behind this push to
"transform the global food supply" and can accurately describe their
methods and motivation.
This is enough for us to start formulating
our own plans for counteracting this agenda.
