[A-List] "Doomsday Seed Vault" in the Arctic

Bill Gates, Rockefeller and the GMO giants know something we don't

by F William Engdahl

Global Research (December 04 2007)

One thing Microsoft founder Bill Gates can't be accused of is sloth. He
was already programming at fourteen, founded Microsoft at age twenty
while still a student at Harvard. By 1995 he had been listed by Forbes
as the world's richest man from being the largest shareholder in his
Microsoft, a company which his relentless drive built into a de facto
monopoly in software systems for personal computers.

In 2006 when most people in such a situation might think of retiring to
a quiet Pacific island, Bill Gates decided to devote his energies to his
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world's largest 'transparent'
private foundation as it says, with a whopping $34.6 billion endowment
and a legal necessity to spend $1.5 billion a year on charitable
projects around the world to maintain its tax free charitable status. A
gift from friend and business associate, mega-investor Warren Buffett in
2006, of some $30 billion worth of shares in Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway
put the Gates' foundation into the league where it spends almost the
amount of the entire annual budget of the United Nations' World Health
Organization.

So when Bill Gates decides through the Gates Foundation to invest some
$30 million of their hard earned money in a project, it is worth looking at.

No project is more interesting at the moment than a curious project in
one of the world's most remote spots, Svalbard. Bill Gates is investing
millions in a seed bank on the Barents Sea near the Arctic Ocean, some
1,100 kilometers from the North Pole. Svalbard is a barren piece of rock
claimed by Norway and ceded in 1925 by international treaty (see map).

On this God-forsaken island Bill Gates is investing tens of his millions
along with the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto Corporation, Syngenta
Foundation and the Government of Norway, among others, in what is called
the 'doomsday seed bank'. Officially the project is named the Svalbard
Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, part of the
Svalbard island group.

The seed bank is being built inside a mountain on Spitsbergen Island
near the small village of Longyearbyen. It's almost ready for 'business'
according to their releases. The bank will have dual blast-proof doors
with motion sensors, two airlocks, and walls of steel-reinforced
concrete one meter thick. It will contain up to three million different
varieties of seeds from the entire world, 'so that crop diversity can be
conserved for the future', according to the Norwegian government. Seeds
will be specially wrapped to exclude moisture. There will be no
full-time staff, but the vault's relative inaccessibility will
facilitate monitoring any possible human activity.

Did we miss something here? Their press release stated, 'so that crop
diversity can be conserved for the future'. What future do the seed
bank's sponsors foresee, that would threaten the global availability of
current seeds, almost all of which are already well protected in
designated seed banks around the world?

Anytime Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto and Syngenta
get together on a common project, it's worth digging a bit deeper behind
the rocks on Spitsbergen. When we do we find some fascinating things.

The first notable point is who is sponsoring the doomsday seed vault.
Here joining the Norwegians are, as noted, the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation; the US agribusiness giant DuPont/Pioneer Hi-Bred, one of the
world's largest owners of patented genetically-modified (GMO) plant
seeds and related agrichemicals; Syngenta, the Swiss-based major GMO
seed and agrichemicals company through its Syngenta Foundation; the
Rockefeller Foundation, the private group who created the "gene
revolution" with over $100 million of seed money since the 1970s; CGIAR,
the global network created by the Rockefeller Foundation to promote its
ideal of genetic purity through agriculture change.


CGIAR and 'The Project'

As I detailled in the book, Seeds of Destruction {1}, in 1960 the
Rockefeller Foundation, John D Rockefeller III's Agriculture Development
Council and the Ford Foundation joined forces to create the
International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Banos, the
Philippines. By 1971, the Rockefeller Foundation's IRRI, along with
their Mexico-based International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center and
two other Rockefeller and Ford Foundation-created international research
centers, the IITA for tropical agriculture, Nigeria, and IRRI for rice,
Philippines, combined to form a global Consultative Group on
International Agriculture Research (CGIAR).

CGIAR was shaped at a series of private conferences held at the
Rockefeller Foundation's conference center in Bellagio, Italy. Key
participants at the Bellagio talks were the Rockefeller Foundation's
George Harrar, Ford Foundation's Forrest Hill, Robert McNamara of the
World Bank and Maurice Strong, the Rockefeller family's international
environmental organizer, who, as a Rockefeller Foundation Trustee,
organized the UN Earth Summit in Stockholm in 1972. It was part of the
foundation's decades long focus to turn science to the service of
eugenics, a hideous version of racial purity, what has been called The
Project.

To ensure maximum impact, CGIAR drew in the United Nations' Food and
Agriculture Organization, the UN Development Program and the World Bank.
Thus, through a carefully-planned leverage of its initial funds, the
Rockefeller Foundation by the beginning of the 1970s was in a position
to shape global agriculture policy. And shape it did.

Financed by generous Rockefeller and Ford Foundation study grants, CGIAR
saw to it that leading Third World agriculture scientists and
agronomists were brought to the US to 'master' the concepts of modern
agribusiness production, in order to carry it back to their homeland. In
the process they created an invaluable network of influence for US
agribusiness promotion in those countries, most especially promotion of
the GMO 'Gene Revolution' in developing countries, all in the name of
science and efficient, free market agriculture.


Genetically engineering a master race?

Now the Svalbard Seed Bank begins to become interesting. But it gets
better. 'The Project' I referred to is the project of the Rockefeller
Foundation and powerful financial interests since the 1920s to use
eugenics, later renamed genetics, to justify creation of a
genetically-engineered Master Race. Hitler and the Nazis called it the
Ayran Master Race.

The eugenics of Hitler were financed to a major extent by the same
Rockefeller Foundation which today is building a doomsday seed vault to
preserve samples of every seed on our planet. Now this is getting really
intriguing. The same Rockefeller Foundation created the pseudo-science
discipline of molecular biology in their relentless pursuit of reducing
human life down to the 'defining gene sequence' which, they hoped, could
then be modified in order to change human traits at will. Hitler's
eugenics scientists, many of whom were quietly brought to the United
States after the War to continue their biological eugenics research,
laid much of the groundwork of genetic engineering of various life
forms, much of it supported openly until well into the Third Reich by
Rockefeller Foundation generous grants. {2}

The same Rockefeller Foundation created the so-called Green Revolution,
out of a trip to Mexico in 1946 by Nelson Rockefeller and former New
Deal Secretary of Agriculture and founder of the Pioneer Hi-Bred Seed
Company, Henry Wallace.

The Green Revolution purported to solve the world hunger problem to a
major degree in Mexico, India and other select countries where
Rockefeller worked. Rockefeller Foundation agronomist, Norman Borlaug,
won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work, hardly something to boast about
with the likes of Henry Kissinger sharing the same.

In reality, as it years later emerged, the Green Revolution was a
brilliant Rockefeller family scheme to develop a globalized agribusiness
which they then could monopolize just as they had done in the world oil
industry beginning a half century before. As Henry Kissinger declared in
the 1970s, 'If you control the oil you control the country; if you
control food, you control the population'.

Agribusiness and the Rockefeller Green Revolution went hand-in-hand.
They were part of a grand strategy which included Rockefeller Foundation
financing of research for the development of genetic engineering of
plants and animals a few years later.

John H Davis had been Assistant Agriculture Secretary under President
Dwight Eisenhower in the early 1950s. He left Washington in 1955 and
went to the Harvard Graduate School of Business, an unusual place for an
agriculture expert in those days. He had a clear strategy. In 1956,
Davis wrote an article in the Harvard Business Review in which he
declared that "the only way to solve the so-called farm problem once and
for all, and avoid cumbersome government programs, is to progress from
agriculture to agribusiness". He knew precisely what he had in mind,
though few others had a clue back then - a revolution in agriculture
production that would concentrate control of the food chain in corporate
multinational hands, away from the traditional family farmer. {3}

A crucial aspect driving the interest of the Rockefeller Foundation and
US agribusiness companies was the fact that the Green Revolution was
based on proliferation of new hybrid seeds in developing markets. One
vital aspect of hybrid seeds was their lack of reproductive capacity.
Hybrids had a built in protection against multiplication. Unlike normal
open pollinated species whose seed gave yields similar to its parents,
the yield of the seed borne by hybrid plants was significantly lower
than that of the first generation.

That declining yield characteristic of hybrids meant farmers must
normally buy seed every year in order to obtain high yields. Moreover,
the lower yield of the second generation eliminated the trade in seed
that was often done by seed producers without the breeder's
authorization. It prevented the redistribution of the commercial crop
seed by middlemen. If the large multinational seed companies were able
to control the parental seed lines in house, no competitor or farmer
would be able to produce the hybrid. The global concentration of hybrid
seed patents into a handful of giant seed companies, led by DuPont's
Pioneer Hi-Bred and Monsanto's Dekalb laid the ground for the later GMO
seed revolution.  {4}

In effect, the introduction of modern American agricultural technology,
chemical fertilizers and commercial hybrid seeds all made local farmers
in developing countries, particularly the larger more established ones,
dependent on foreign, mostly US agribusiness and petro-chemical company
inputs. It was a first step in what was to be a decades-long, carefully
planned process.

Under the Green Revolution, Agribusiness was making major inroads into
markets which were previously of limited access to US exporters. The
trend was later dubbed "market-oriented agriculture". In reality it was
agribusiness-controlled agriculture.

Through the Green Revolution, the Rockefeller Foundation and later Ford
Foundation worked hand-in-hand shaping and supporting the foreign policy
goals of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
and of the CIA.

One major effect of the Green Revolution was to depopulate the
countryside of peasants who were forced to flee into shantytown slums
around the cities in desperate search for work. That was no accident; it
was part of the plan to create cheap labor pools for forthcoming US
multinational manufactures, the 'globalization' of recent years.

When the self-promotion around the Green Revolution died down, the
results were quite different from what had been promised. Problems had
arisen from indiscriminate use of the new chemical pesticides, often
with serious health consequences. The mono-culture cultivation of new
hybrid seed varieties decreased soil fertility and yields over time. The
first results were impressive: double or even triple yields for some
crops such as wheat and later corn in Mexico. That soon faded.

The Green Revolution was typically accompanied by large irrigation
projects which often included World Bank loans to construct huge new
dams, and flood previously settled areas and fertile farmland in the
process. Also, super-wheat produced greater yields by saturating the
soil with huge amounts of fertilizer per acre, the fertilizer being the
product of nitrates and petroleum, commodities controlled by the
Rockefeller-dominated Seven Sisters major oil companies.

Huge quantities of herbicides and pesticides were also used, creating
additional markets for the oil and chemical giants. As one analyst put
it, in effect, the Green Revolution was merely a chemical revolution. At
no point could developing nations pay for the huge amounts of chemical
fertilizers and pesticides. They would get the credit courtesy of the
World Bank and special loans by Chase Bank and other large New York
banks, backed by US Government guarantees.

Applied in a large number of developing countries, those loans went
mostly to the large landowners. For the smaller peasants the situation
worked differently. Small peasant farmers could not afford the chemical
and other modern inputs and had to borrow money.

Initially various government programs tried to provide some loans to
farmers so that they could purchase seeds and fertilizers. Farmers who
could not participate in this kind of program had to borrow from the
private sector. Because of the exorbitant interest rates for informal
loans, many small farmers did not even get the benefits of the initial
higher yields. After harvest, they had to sell most if not all of their
produce to pay off loans and interest. They became dependent on
money-lenders and traders and often lost their land. Even with soft
loans from government agencies, growing subsistence crops gave way to
the production of cash crops. {5}

Since decades the same interests including the Rockefeller Foundation
which backed the initial Green Revolution, have worked to promote a
second 'Gene Revolution' as Rockefeller Foundation President Gordon
Conway termed it several years ago, the spread of industrial agriculture
and commercial inputs including GMO patented seeds.


Gates, Rockefeller and a Green Revolution in Africa

With the true background of the 1950s Rockefeller Foundation Green
Revolution clear in mind, it becomes especially curious that the same
Rockefeller Foundation along with the Gates Foundation which are now
investing millions of dollars in preserving every seed against a
possible "doomsday" scenario are also investing millions in a project
called The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.

AGRA, as it calls itself, is an alliance again with the same Rockefeller
Foundation which created the "Gene Revolution". A look at the AGRA Board
of Directors confirms this.

It includes none other than former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan as
chairman. In his acceptance speech in a World Economic Forum event in
Cape Town South Africa in June 2007, Kofi Annan stated, 'I accept this
challenge with gratitude to the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, and all others who support our African campaign'.

In addition the AGRA board numbers a South African, Strive Masiyiwa who
is a Trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation. It includes Sylvia M Mathews
of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Mamphela Ramphele, former
Managing Director of the World Bank (2000 â 2006); Rajiv J Shah of the
Gates Foundation; Nadya K Shmavonian of the Rockefeller Foundation; Roy
Steiner of the Gates Foundation. In addition, an Alliance for AGRA
includes Gary Toenniessen the Managing Director of the Rockefeller
Foundation and Akinwumi Adesina, Associate Director, Rockefeller Foundation.

To fill out the lineup, the Programmes for AGRA includes Peter Matlon,
Managing Director, Rockefeller Foundation; Joseph De Vries, Director of
the Programme for Africa's Seed Systems and Associate Director,
Rockefeller foundation; Akinwumi Adesina, Associate Director,
Rockefeller Foundation. Like the old failed Green Revolution in India
and Mexico, the new Africa Green Revolution is clearly a high priority
of the Rockefeller Foundation.

While to date they are keeping a low profile, Monsanto and the major GMO
agribusiness giants are believed at the heart of using Kofi Annan's AGRA
to spread their patented GMO seeds across Africa under the deceptive
label, 'bio-technology', the new euphemism for genetically engineered
patented seeds. To date South Africa is the only African country
permitting legal planting of GMO crops. In 2003 Burkina Faso authorized
GMO trials. In 2005 Kofi Annan's Ghana drafted bio-safety legislation
and key officials expressed their intentions to pursue research into GMO
crops.

Africa is the next target in the US-government campaign to spread GMO
worldwide. Its rich soils make it an ideal candidate. Not surprisingly
many African governments suspect the worst from the GMO sponsors as a
multitude of genetic engineering and biosafety projects have been
initiated in Africa, with the aim of introducing GMOs into Africa's
agricultural systems. These include sponsorships offered by the US
government to train African scientists in genetic engineering in the US,
biosafety projects funded by the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) and the World Bank; GMO research involving African
indigenous food crops.

The Rockefeller Foundation has been working for years to promote,
largely without success, projects to introduce GMOs into the fields of
Africa. They have backed research that supports the applicability of GMO
cotton in the Makhathini Flats in South Africa.

Monsanto, who has a strong foothold in South Africa's seed industry,
both GMO and hybrid, has conceived of an ingenious smallholders'
programme known as the 'Seeds of Hope' Campaign, which is introducing a
green revolution package to small scale poor farmers, followed, of
course, by Monsanto's patented GMO seeds. {6}

Syngenta AG of Switzerland, one of the 'Four Horsemen of the GMO
Apocalypse' is pouring millions of dollars into a new greenhouse
facility in Nairobi, to develop GMO insect resistant maize. Syngenta is
a part of CGIAR as well. {7}


Move on to Svalbard

Now is it simply philosophical sloppiness? What leads the Gates and
Rockefeller foundations to at one and the same time to back
proliferation of patented and soon-to-be Terminator patented seeds
across Africa, a process which, as it has in every other place on earth,
destroys the plant seed varieties as monoculture industrialized
agribusiness is introduced? At the same time they invest tens of
millions of dollars to preserve every seed variety known in a bomb-proof
doomsday vault near the remote Arctic Circle 'so that crop diversity can
be conserved for the future' to restate their official release?

It is no accident that the Rockefeller and Gates foundations are teaming
up to push a GMO-style Green Revolution in Africa at the same time they
are quietly financing the 'doomsday seed vault' on Svalbard. The GMO
agribusiness giants are up to their ears in the Svalbard project.

Indeed, the entire Svalbard enterprise and the people involved call up
the worst catastrophe images of the Michael Crichton bestseller,
Andromeda Strain, a sci-fi thriller where a deadly disease of
extraterrestrial origin causes rapid, fatal clotting of the blood
threatening the entire human species. In Svalbard, the future world's
most secure seed repository will be guarded by the policemen of the GMO
Green Revolution - the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations, Syngenta,
DuPont and CGIAR.

The Svalbard project will be run by an organization called the Global
Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT). Who are they to hold such an awesome trust
over the planet's entire seed varieties? The GCDT was founded by the
United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and Bioversity
International (formerly the International Plant Genetic Research
Institute), an offshoot of the CGIAR.

The Global Crop Diversity Trust is based in Rome. Its Board is chaired
by Margaret Catley-Carlson a Canadian also on the advisory board of
Group Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux, one of the world's largest private water
companies. Catley-Carlson was also president until 1998 of the New
York-based Population Council, John D Rockefeller's population reduction
organization, set up in 1952 to advance the Rockefeller family's
eugenics program under the cover of promoting "family planning", birth
control devices, sterilization and "population control" in developing
countries.

Other GCDT board members include former Bank of America executive
presently head of the Hollywood DreamWorks Animation, Lewis Coleman.
Coleman is also the lead Board Director of Northrup Grumman Corporation,
one of America's largest military industry Pentagon contractors.

Jorio Dauster (Brazil) is also Board Chairman of Brasil Ecodiesel. He is
a former Ambassador of Brazil to the European Union, and Chief
Negotiator of Brazil's foreign debt for the Ministry of Finance. Dauster
has also served as President of the Brazilian Coffee Institute and as
Coordinator of the Project for the Modernization of Brazil's Patent
System, which involves legalizing patents on seeds which are genetically
modified, something until recently forbidden by Brazil's laws.

Cary Fowler is the Trust's Executive Director. Fowler was Professor and
Director of Research in the Department for International Environment &
Development Studies at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. He was
also a Senior Advisor to the Director General of Bioversity
International. There he represented the Future Harvest Centres of the
Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in
negotiations on the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources. In
the 1990s, he headed the International Program on Plant Genetic
Resources at the FAO. He drafted and supervised negotiations of FAO's
Global Plan of Action for Plant Genetic Resources, adopted by 150
countries in 1996. He is a past-member of the National Plant Genetic
Resources Board of the US and the Board of Trustees of the International
Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico, another Rockefeller
Foundation and CGIAR project.

GCDT board member Dr Mangala Rai of India is the Secretary of India's
Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), and Director
General of the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR). He is
also a Board Member of the Rockefeller Foundation's International Rice
Research Institute (IRRI), which promoted the world's first major GMO
experiment, the much-hyped 'Golden Rice' which proved a failure. Rai has
served as Board Member for CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat
Improvement Center), and a Member of the Executive Council of the CGIAR.

Global Crop Diversity Trust Donors or financial angels include as well,
in the words of the Humphrey Bogart Casablanca classic, 'all the usual
suspects'. As well as the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations, the Donors
include GMO giants DuPont-Pioneer Hi-Bred, Syngenta of Basle
Switzerland, CGIAR and the State Department's energetically pro-GMO
agency for development aid, USAID. Indeed it seems we have the GMO and
population reduction foxes guarding the hen-house of mankind, the global
seed diversity store in Svalbard. {8}


Why now Svalbard?

We can legitimately ask why Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation
along with the major genetic engineering agribusiness giants such as
DuPont and Syngenta, along with CGIAR are building the Doomsday Seed
Vault in the Arctic.

Who uses such a seed bank in the first place? Plant breeders and
researchers are the major users of gene banks. Today's largest plant
breeders are Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta and Dow Chemical, the global
plant-patenting GMO giants. Since early in 2007 Monsanto holds world
patent rights together with the United States Government for plant
so-called 'Terminator' or Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT).
Terminator is an ominous technology by which a patented commercial seed
commits 'suicide' after one harvest. Control by private seed companies
is total. Such control and power over the food chain has never before in
the history of mankind existed.

This clever genetically engineered terminator trait forces farmers to
return every year to Monsanto or other GMO seed suppliers to get new
seeds for rice, soybeans, corn, wheat whatever major crops they need to
feed their population. If broadly introduced around the world, it could
within perhaps a decade or so make the world's majority of food
producers new feudal serfs in bondage to three or four giant seed
companies such as Monsanto or DuPont or Dow Chemical.

That, of course, could also open the door to have those private
companies, perhaps under orders from their host government, Washington,
deny seeds to one or another developing country whose politics happened
to go against Washington's. Those who say 'It can't happen here' should
look more closely at current global events. The mere existence of that
concentration of power in three or four private US-based agribusiness
giants is grounds for legally banning all GMO crops even were their
harvest gains real, which they manifestly are not.

These private companies, Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical hardly have an
unsullied record in terms of stewardship of human life. They developed
and proliferated such innovations as dioxin, PCBs, Agent Orange. They
covered up for decades clear evidence of carcinogenic and other severe
human health consequences of use of the toxic chemicals. They have
buried serious scientific reports that the world's most widespread
herbicide, glyphosate, the essential ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup
herbicide that is tied to purchase of most Monsanto genetically
engineered seeds, is toxic when it seeps into drinking water. {9}
Denmark banned glyphosate in 2003 when it confirmed it has contaminated
the country's groundwater. {10}

The diversity stored in seed gene banks is the raw material for plant
breeding and for a great deal of basic biological research. Several
hundred thousand samples are distributed annually for such purposes. The
UN's FAO lists some 1400 seed banks around the world, the largest being
held by the United States Government. Other large banks are held by
China, Russia, Japan, India, South Korea, Germany and Canada in
descending order of size. In addition, CGIAR operates a chain of seed
banks in select centers around the world.

CGIAR, set up in 1972 by the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation
to spread their Green Revolution agribusiness model, controls most of
the private seed banks from the Philippines to Syria to Kenya. In all
these present seed banks hold more than six and a half million seed
varieties, almost two million of which are 'distinct'. Svalbard's
Doomsday Vault will have a capacity to house four and a half million
different seeds.


GMO as a weapon of biowarfare?

Now we come to the heart of the danger and the potential for misuse
inherent in the Svalbard project of Bill Gates and the Rockefeller
foundation. Can the development of patented seeds for most of the
world's major sustenance crops such as rice, corn, wheat, and feed
grains such as soybeans ultimately be used in a horrible form of
biological warfare?

The explicit aim of the eugenics lobby funded by wealthy elite families
such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Harriman and others since the 1920s, has
embodied what they termed 'negative eugenics', the systematic killing
off of undesired bloodlines. Margaret Sanger, a rapid eugenicist, the
founder of Planned Parenthood International and an intimate of the
Rockefeller family, created something called The Negro Project in 1939,
based in Harlem, which as she confided in a letter to a friend, was all
about the fact that, as she put it, 'we want to exterminate the Negro
population'. {11}

A small California biotech company, Epicyte, in 2001 announced the
development of genetically engineered corn which contained a spermicide
which made the semen of men who ate it sterile. At the time Epicyte had
a joint venture agreement to spread its technology with DuPont and
Syngenta, two of the sponsors of the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault.
Epicyte was since acquired by a North Carolina biotech company.
Astonishing to learn was that Epicyte had developed its spermicidal GMO
corn with research funds from the US Department of Agriculture, the same
USDA which, despite worldwide opposition, continued to finance the
development of Terminator technology, now held by Monsanto.

In the 1990s the UN's World Health Organization launched a campaign to
vaccinate millions of women in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines
between the ages of fifteen and 45, allegedly against Tentanus, a
sickness arising from such things as stepping on a rusty nail. The
vaccine was not given to men or boys, despite the fact they are
presumably equally liable to step on rusty nails as women.

Because of that curious anomaly, Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman
Catholic lay organization became suspicious and had vaccine samples
tested. The tests revealed that the Tetanus vaccine being spread by the
WHO only to women of child-bearing age contained human Chorionic
Gonadotrophin or hCG, a natural hormone which when combined with a
tetanus toxoid carrier stimulated antibodies rendering a woman incapable
of maintaining a pregnancy. None of the women vaccinated were told.

It later came out that the Rockefeller Foundation along with the
Rockefeller's Population Council, the World Bank (home to CGIAR), and
the United States' National Institutes of Health had been involved in a
twenty-year-long project begun in 1972 to develop the concealed abortion
vaccine with a tetanus carrier for WHO. In addition, the Government of
Norway, the host to the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault, donated $41
million to develop the special abortive Tetanus vaccine. {12}

Is it a coincidence that these same organizations, from Norway to the
Rockefeller Foundation to the World Bank are also involved in the
Svalbard seed bank project? According to Professor Francis Boyle who
drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 enacted by the
US Congress, the Pentagon is 'now gearing up to fight and win biological
warfare' as part of two Bush national strategy directives adopted, he
notes, 'without public knowledge and review' in 2002. Boyle adds that in
2001-2004 alone the US Federal Government spent $14.5 billion for
civilian bio-warfare-related work, a staggering sum.

Rutgers University biologist Richard Ebright estimates that over 300
scientific institutions and some 12,000 individuals in the USA today
have access to pathogens suitable for biowarfare. Alone there are 497 US
Government NIH grants for research into infectious diseases with
biowarfare potential. Of course this is being justified under the rubric
of defending against possible terror attack as so much is today.

Many of the US Government dollars spent on biowarfare research involve
genetic engineering. MIT biology professor Jonathan King says that the
'growing bio-terror programs represent a significant emerging danger to
our own population'. King adds, 'while such programs are always called
defensive, with biological weapons, defensive and offensive programs
overlap almost completely'. {13}

Time will tell whether, God Forbid, the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Bank of
Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation is part of another Final
Solution, this involving the extinction of the Late, Great Planet Earth.

Pre-Publication Reviews of Engdahl's Seeds of Destruction

What is so frightening about Engdahl's vision of the world is that it is
so real. Although our civilization has been built on humanistic ideals,
in this new age of "free markets", everything - science, commerce,
agriculture and even seeds - have become weapons in the hands of a few
global corporation barons and their political fellow travelers. To
achieve world domination, they no longer rely on bayonet-wielding
soldiers. All they need is to control food production. (Dr Arpad
Pusztai, biochemist, formerly of the Rowett Research Institute
Institute, Scotland)

If you want to learn about the socio-political agenda - why biotech
corporations insist on spreading GMO seeds around the World - you should
read this carefully researched book. You will learn how these
corporations want to achieve control over all mankind, and why we must
resist ... (Marijan Jost, Professor of Genetics, Krizevci, Croatia)

The book reads like a murder mystery of an incredible dimension, in
which four giant Anglo-American agribusiness conglomerates have no
hesitation to use GMO to gain control over our very means of subsistence
