The vault will have dual-blast proof doors, motion sensors, two airlocks, and walls reinforced with meter-thick concrete. Inside will be stored more than 3 million varieties of seed. The Norwegian government says the seeds are being stored, ‘so that crop diversity can be conserved for the future.’
Participating in this project, aside from the Norwegians, are:
- The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
- Dupont/Pioneer – owner of GMO seed patents.
- The Syngenta Foundation – Swiss maker of GMO seed and pesticides.
- The Rockefeller Foundation – created the ‘gene revolution with over $100 million invested in GM science since the 1970’s
- CGIAR, a global network of Rockefeller Foundation supporters
Some economists have long believed that consumer sovereignty would be realized in a free market economy. Just how free the market can be in light of influential forces such as software monopolies, agribusiness concerns, energy consortiums, Wall Street banks, and the governments they control is highly debatable.
Just as Monsanto executives dream of a world with 100 percent of all commercial seeds genetically modified and patented, others imagine global bio-warfare on the world population. Just as the fossil fuels industry is working to retard the growth of a bio-fuels industry, their oilees are sewing up the alternative energy patent portfolio.
Net-Neutrality is probably the most important First Amendment issue of our time. Throughout this country’s history, freedom of the press has only existed for those who own the press. The only way to stop powerful simpletons, from waging the war on poverty by starving the impoverished, is to dilute the power of incumbency.
Start saving our own seed. If enough of us do this, it won’t matter how many seeds they store in their vault. Plant organic gardens and share your seed with neighbors. Plant heirloom varieties, and as many of them as you have space for. Or, better yet, become completely non-dependent on the food supply. Turn your lawn into a garden. Start your own aquaponics system, and throw out the senators and congressmen who vote to support GMO in any way.
City governments may try to fine you $500 a day for planting your own food, like they did in Orlando, but if enough of us do it, and home owner’s associations begin to understand the larger concern, the power-hungry loonies are less likely to be able to interfere with a sweeping grass-roots efforts to take the power back – namely through growing our own non GMO food.
Consider the First Source!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word choreographed an assembly of amino acids into an exquisite array of specific proteins. Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” In so doing God demonstrated a penchant for genomic writing, preceeded by an amazing series of prebiotic events, in a highly orchestrated presentation of evolutionary overcontrol.
