Title: Is Bill Gates seeking to monopolise the world food supply?
Post by: Jolly2 on 18/02/2021 14:40:02
Apparently Bil Gates has now become the biggest owner of farm land world wide.

He has also taken complete control over the entire planets seeds

Surely there are anti trust laws that prevent this kind of behaviour?
According to some in 18 countries where gates has complete control over the food chain, starvation has been increasing.

How can mankind be saved from this tyranny?

Gates and a plan to starve everyone?

It's a claim made by Doctor Vandana Shiva in the news report.
Dr  Shiva is a climate Activist who has worked in the area of seed control and protection for decades.

https://dianeravitch.net/2021/01/04/the-gates-foundations-not-green-revolution-in-africa/

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation promised Africa a “Green Revolution” to fight hunger and poverty. It hasn’t worked — but it has upped corporate agriculture’s profits. Local farmers are being left empty-handed, and hunger is rising.

...But fourteen years after AGRA was founded, it’s safe to say that the initiative has failed to meet its goals. Rather than combat hunger and poverty, hunger has actually increased by 30 percent in the AGRA focus countries — meaning that thirty million more people are suffering from it than when AGRA started.


.......

I think it's fair to suggest that Bill Gates is a bare faced liar, who claims to be involved in charity and philanthropy,  yet has managed to double his wealth by doing so, so he isnt actually interested in charity or helping people, these ventures are clearly just investments or procurement activities with a charitable camouflage.

And also under the lie of solving world food shortages he is buying up land and increasing world hunger.

The guys a menace.

Well theres a distraction, that misses the point. The AGRA initiative was proclaimed as a solution to food shortages and as an answer to the hunger Africa had faced.

But after 14 years they had managed to reduced food production in all countries the program was active, replaced the food grown with less nutritious crops and increase hunger by 30%. That's pre-covid19.

So your suggestion they should just have less babies really misses the point completely, and is utterly disgusting actually.

As stated by someone if you want to know what a system is designed for, rather then looking at why people tell you it exists, you can actually look at what it achieves and take that as it's real reason for existing.

And looking at AGRA under that context, well appears it's meant to reduce food production,  increase hunger and starvation, and provide less nutritious food for Africans.

Did you see the Green RT in the corner of the screen?
- That is a Russian government-controlled TV channel.
- That might ake you somewhat suspicious of their motives when talking about Americans and Africa.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network))
 
I have seen a few of the projects launched by the Gates Foundation, and I have generally found them to be well-intentioned (but not always successful)
- They plowed hundreds of millions of dollars into eradication of polio, only to see it hijacked and sabotaged by the CIA.
- They funded tens of millions into agile mRNA vaccines for neglected tropical diseases - this one came through with flying colors in the past year, producing the first two published clinical trials & approved vaccines against COVID-19 (ironically, it will be more useful in advanced countries than poor tropical countries)
- Funding research into proliferation-resistant Thorium power reactors

No, he hasn't.

And, in any event, the claim you are now making is different from your original claim.
You have walked back from the absurd claim in that video clip (presumably because you now realise it's false).

Anyway it makes a change from blaming Monsanto for supplying sterile high-yield seed., or Swaminathan and Borlaug for introducing industrial farming to India.

Jimmy Doherty famously pointed out that 85% of the population of Uganda work on the land, and starvation is rife, but less than 5% of the UK population grow food and the shops are full. The climate is, if anything, more favorable in Uganda. So what are they doing wrong? Nothing. What are we doing right? Everything. So why not export a bit of good practice?

The only solution we stop suppressing Africa and allow them to develop.  Learning from our mistakes. Brith rates will naturally fall as they do in all developed countries when children survive.
They will all earn a better income, have better quality of life, and be more environmentally engaged, because it's with a certain level of social development and standard of living people naturally also start to care about their environment.

The entire issue in Africa stems from first world oppression and exploitation.

108.20 on

All comes down to the same problem,  the modern corporate system of greed, leads to massive pollution, and no company paying for their actual costs of business or having any interest in acting better with regards to the environmental damage they cause, combined with a desired to exploit and keep people impoverished (essentially for cheap labour) which leads to higher birth rates, less environmental concern and even hunger and starvation for the populations this is imposed on.

Busines practice is the biggest issue and they have the power, and with that power they seek to keep as much profit as possible, carry on regardless and force the populations to change, in a sad attempt to compensate for thier failure.
All an expression of corporate governance and tyranny. Rationally it's time to realise business and its telos should not be in power.

Gates desire to reduce population in Africa is well documented.  He has repeatedly in many interviews stated it to be his agenda.


The question is more about the means by which he seeks to achieve it.

To see the farming programs he has established reduce food production, increased hunger by 30% and also to have reduced the nutritional value of the crops grown.  Is suggestive some of his means may well be conspiratorial.
If the systems he has imposed are behaving as he wants them to then he certianly is.

This isn't some new scheme, its been over 14 years. A program meant to increase food production has reduce it. Bill Gates is no fool with his money,  after an 18 year program for increased food production causes less food production,  the program is a failure. Yet he carries on funding it. Suggestive that it may well be the actual point of the program. And Gates is resorting to other means to achieve his agenda.

His Agenda of African population reduction is clear, he has stated it repeatedly across the world in many interviews TED talks, documentaries.

How badly does he want the agenda to succeed is the real question.

That is true, but those which are called conspiracy theories are most typically those that refer to conspiracies of a grand stature, usually supposedly perpetrated by large entities such as governments or militaries. They are usually something paranoid. And more specifically than that, those conspiracy theories are most usually devoid of good supporting evidence, rather relying on "someone somewhere said something" that can't be proven, assuming that correlation is causation or jumping to conclusions. Bill Gates planning to reduce the world population through starvation certainly fits that.

Be skeptical.

But Gates has a declared agenda to reduce African population.

And his program currently after over 14 years, is reducing food production,  increasing hunger and providing less neutrious crops.

I'm also skeptical, I'm skeptical about the stated agenda of this failed program. and ponder why such a failed program would still be being funded.  That it might be doing exactly what Gates wants it to,  isnt a conspiracy, it's a possible explanation

Bill Gates wants massive depopulation in Africa.

Bill Gates wants massive depopulation in Africa.
So does anyone who cares about climate change, sustainability and quality of life.

Nonsense,  as I have been arguing for ages, population isnt the issue, it's how we produce. 75% of all environmental damage is comming from business practice, as usual business passes the buck and wants to blame people. It's all rubbish. Reducing the population achieves nothing, when the real cause is how business behaves. Even if everyone stops behaviour that damages the planet only 25% of the issue is solved leaving everything as a consequence of corporate behaviour.

The question is whether it will be achieved by disease and starvation (as has been the case for several thousand years), genocide and civil war (since the 1950s), or education and economics (as promoted by the Gates Foundation).

All dooms day nonsense and hype used to justify agendas that are unnecessary. We can feed far more people then we currently do, we can produce energy in far cleaner and safer ways, we can produce products and services in ways that dont damage the environment,  that's all possible. Sadly some oligarchs never have enough,  and so keep people in poverty and starvation,  to make it easier for low wage exploitation.

There are 1000s of solutions to problems the elites however are only interested in solutions that guarantee their continuation as Rulers, and that is the biggest issue.

No, I'm looking at gates stated agenda. To depopulate Africa.

And then looking at one program he has in Africa that was claiming it would increase food production.

Then wondering why a program that was meant to increase food production is after 18 years actually decreasing food production.

It simple a question why is this failed program still running? Its increasing hunger, reducing the nutritional value of crops and producing less food.

Is that Bill Gates actual intention? Is the question not a conspiracy theory,  it's a speculative answer to the question why is that program still running after over 18s years of failure?

If I was a politician in one the African countries effected I would be demanding an investigation in to what has gone wrong.  On opening the books into the decision making that have lead to this failure, we might find the actual answer to the question.  That answer could be Bill Gates intends to reduce food production on purpose, but it could also be people mismanaged the program and just sort to take as much money as possible from Gates as a milking scheme. Although I find the latter less likely as Gates doesnt appear to be the type, to be so easily taken advantage of. And ultimately after this failure he still funds it.

The suggestion that an African government might be corrupt is, frankly, outrageous.

Actually  it's often at the behest of the very people that installed them, there are countless examples of African leaders seeking a  better circumstance for thier people, being assinated by the west for daring to challenge the status quo of western corporate control over their resources.

Indeed.
Because, of course, it wasn't Bill (who is estimated to own about $120 B) who got the $200B.

He put in the start up money, and society benefitted to the tune of 20 times as much as his donation.

It is important to remember that Jolly thought that Bill was getting the return- even though this is obviously impossible.
This in turn is because Jolly's bias blinds him to even obvious facts like "If Bill had received $200 B then Bill would have more than $200 B".

Reducing the population is the only way to make life tolerable and sustainable for our successors. Agriculture in many parts of Africa is already marginal despite a century or so of introducing modern farming methods. Famine is pretty much the norm thanks to unpredictable rainfall and a failure to control locust populations in areas where civil war has been raging for decades, so the priority areas for controlling the one variable that can be controlled (population) must be in such states.

"The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, healthcare, reproductive health services, we could lower that by about 10 or 15% But there we see an increase of about 1.3,” Gates says, breaking down the formula.

They change the actual statement of the doctor from "eliminate" to "Kill" to make the title more punchy, no doubt as a part of click bait.

The doctor is talking about agendas to reduce Africa's population. And its exactly a stated goal of Gates.  And As I have questioned in this tread starvation could be one of his tactics in that endeavor,  certainly seems plausible when you see starvation increasing in the countries he is active.

Farming yields before ARGA were going up

No your miss reading that means at best AGRA made no difference at worst they reduced farming output.
Farming was increasing by 17% before AGRA, simple means initially AGRA didnt interfere with that trend, not now after 14 years it certainly has, what was an increase of 17% has become a reduction of 20%

But fourteen years after AGRA was founded, it’s safe to say that the initiative has failed to meet its goals. Rather than combat hunger and poverty, hunger has actually increased by 30 percent in the AGRA focus countries — meaning that thirty million more people are suffering from it than when AGRA started. By 2018, agricultural yields in the focus countries had increased by only 18 percent, as opposed to the 100 percent AGRA promised. In the period before AGRA, yields in these countries had grown by 17 percent. The increases in yields with and without AGRA were therefore almost identical.

Effectively ARGA achieved 1% of it goals. After 15 years... I have trouble believing that isnt by design.

Sorry my mistake, hunger increased by 30% cerial crops reduced by 21%

Statistics for the thirteen AGRA focus countries show that production of cereals has fallen by 21 percent since the initiative was launched. A yield decline of 7 percent was recorded for root and tuber crops. All in all, AGRA reduces the diversity in farmers’ fields and thus also the variety of seeds being used. This development in turn makes agriculture even more vulnerable to the consequences of the climate crisis.

If the total agricultural yield has increased 18 percent while cereal and tuber production has gone down, the production of other crops must have gone up significantly in order to explain overall growth and not reduction.

Not really with the 17% occurring anyway, it's an increase of 1% for certain crops. And that 1% certainly wasnt enough to feed the people, leaving an increase in hunger.

But food production hasn't been reduced. Take this 2013 article from the United Nations website, for example: https://www.un.org/en/africa/osaa/pdf/pubs/2013africanagricultures.pdf It states:

Quote
Contrary to popular belief, agricultural production in Africa has increased steadily over the last 30 years: its value has almost tripled (+160%), showing an increase that clearly exceeds the growth rate for global agricultural production over the same period (+100%), almost identical to that of South America (+174%), and below but comparable to growth in Asia (+212%).

Quote
1. Cereal production has increased by 125%, yields by 32%, and cultivated land by 70% in 30 years

There are charts on page 20 of the article that show crop production from 1980 to 2010. We don't see a drop in crop production starting in 2006. The trend of increase continues instead. Page 22 shows a further breakdown of the specific kinds of crops and all of them are still increasing from 2006 to 2010.

Ok you are referencing a 2013 article that is reporting on the previous 30 year trend.  AGRA starts in 2006 and as the article I referenced stated African countries were seeing a 17% increase.

The article upto 2010 only covers the first 4 years of ARGA it's now been running 15 years, with the latter 11 years not accounted for.

I'm not entirely sure still, it appears the ARGA is really similar to schemes previously ran in India were GM crops with Roundup were sold to small scale farmers, which trapped them into each year having to buy seeds and pesticides from Monsanto,  Monsanto has a degree of investment from Gates it should be noted.
Normally a farmer would save some seed for the next years planting,  but Monsanto seeds were designed to make that impossible, the only way to plant again was to buy new seeds, which increased the costs that many farmers couldn't afford.
The AGRA scheme appears to be another way to profit from farming more then it is actually about increasing productivity.

Means he could be potentially.  Maybe he prefers suicide, thousands of Indian farmers committed suicide because they could no longer afford to continue farming thanks to similar schemes ran in India.

Again who elected Bill Gates to go interfere with other countries? If he wanted to use his money to support different counties it's one thing, but he isn't doing that, he is actively controlling the programs he invests in and gaining returns on those investments.  This should be illegal.

Not the case the Monsanto seeds were genetically edited so they only produce one crop, you cant save seed and replant for the next year, which forces farmers in contracts with Monsanto to buy new seeds every year. The farmers are renting the seeds

Any number of world leaders could potentially send us into a nuclear war too. Just because they have that power doesn't mean they plan on doing it.

There is a slight difference a world leader from politics has gone through the election process, and is monitored by the public and the associated parliament, an oligarchy justs has a Ton of cash how he or she got it can vary, but they dont have the same level of scrutiny,  and they also have no mandate from the public.
