The Gaia Reports

By Theodora Filis When names like Gates, Rockefeller, and Syngenta show up as key players on the same project, I find time to research. One thing this elite group can not be accused of is a reluctance to make an impact on the world, be it positive or negative. So what could get them all to invest millions of US dollars each? I found out, and it's fascinating. Deep inside a frozen mountain, high above an icy fjord, near the Arctic Circle, three concrete chambers are home to our world's most important natural resources. Built to withstand global warming, floods, wars, and a nuclear catastrophe, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, nicknamed the 'doomsday seed bank' by the BBC, was officially opened on February 26, 2008, and serves as the ultimate safety net for our world's seeds. Bill Gates is investing tens of millions of US dollars, in this project, along with the Rockefeller Foundation, the Norwegian government, and many others. “The history of Svalbard Globa...

Why would the world's richest men want to invest so heavily in GMO research and production? One reason – they see lots of money in it? Actually... it has everything to do with control.                 Contr...

By Theodora Filis Entrenched in action and always on the front lines of saving the world and feeding the hungry, Bill Gates gets right to the “root” of solving the world's food shortage by putting his money where his friends at the Rockefeller Foundation tell him to. This week, The Associated Press said Bill Gates believes “Countries can embrace modern seed technology and genetic modification or their citizens will starve.” This comment was directed at the naysayer's of genetically modified (GM) seeds and the belief that “high-tech” solutions to world hunger are bad for the environment. Why are Bill Gates and The Rockefeller Foundation supporting the proliferation of patented seeds, GMOs, and at the same time, investing tens of millions of dollars to preserve every natural seed variety on this planet in a bomb-proof doomsday vault? Wouldn't it be best to cultivate the world's natural seeds, while preserving them, and nourishing and nurturing our world's...
