In June 2003, President George W. Bush made the issue of lifting an

8-year European Union ban on genetically modified (GM) plants a

matterof US national strategic priority. This came only days after

the USoccupation of Baghdad. The timing was not accidental. Since

that time, EU resistance to GM plants has crumbled, as has that of

Brazil, and other key agriculture producing nations. One year

before, the future of GM crops was in doubt.

Now, some months and enormous pressure later, the strategists of GM

food hegemony are on the verge of a control over the global human and

animal food chain never held by any single nation or power.

 

The present debate over the nature of biotechnology and genetic

modification of basic food such as maize or soybeans, misses the most

essential point. The conversion of world agriculture by a small elite

of biotech companies, most US-based, has little to do with corporate

greed. It has very much to do with geopolitics and plans of some

people to control world population growth over the coming decades.

 

The nature of American power projection in the world today rests on

the development of key strategic advantages which no other

combination

of nations can challenge, what the Pentagon planners term, " full

spectrum dominance. " This includes global military dominance. It

includes dominance of the world's limited, and rapidly depleting

petroleum supplies. It includes control of the world's reserve

currency, the dollar. And today it most definitely includes future

control of world agriculture through control of GM patents and GM

crops.

 

Before the end of the decade, if present trends continue, US global

dominance will be based on control of the food supply of most of this

planet, far more than military or even energy control. The

geopolitical dimension of this prospect bears careful examination.

 

A Rockefeller Trojan horse

 

The agency at the center of the GM controversy is the Rockefeller

Foundation in New York. Over the past decade, this influential

private

foundation has spent more than $100 million in sponsoring research

and

development of GM crops to be deployed in world food production. They

have specifically targeted key developing nations in their effort.

More on Monsanto

 

Their public statements suggest noble motives: " The Rockefeller

Foundation is a global foundation with a mandate and a commitment to

enrich and sustain the lives of the poor and excluded throughout the

world, " said foundation president, Gordon Conway, in a 1999 speech to

the Monsanto Company, the world's largest producer of GM seeds and

pesticides. Conway cites as justification for the GM revolution in

agriculture the projections of an added 2 billion people in the world

by 2020, amid a decline in existing agriculture yields, and increased

degradation of soils and ecology. All indications suggest this is not

the real reason GM plants are being promoted with a fervor.

 

Over the past 18 years, the Rockefeller Foundation has played a

decisive role worldwide in spreading the acceptance of radical

practices of genetic modification to countries and laboratories where

a direct US Government research program would be greeted with

greatest

suspicion. The Rockefeller Foundation is, in effect, the Trojan Horse

of GM proliferation.

 

It has gained entry in key countries in part by selecting key

scientists from select developing countries to be educated and

trained

in the US or other industrial countries under foundation programs and

auspices. It has done this by funding GM research and by using its

influence in government and other agencies and NGO's. To date more

than 400 leading scientists from the Philippines to Thailand to Kenya

to China have been trained and cultivated by the foundation.

 

The Rockefeller Foundation has a murky past, since its creation in

1914 out of the Rockefeller family Standard Oil Trust fortune. Well

before 1945, the foundation had been a leading funder of eugenics

research, work made infamous by the Nazi race purity experiments.

This

included Rockefeller support to the American Eugenics Society and the

Population Council. As the race breeding policies of the German Third

Reich came to light after the war, Rockefeller strategists shifted

profile to champion the causes of environment, resource scarcity and

over-population. The policy remained one of global population

reduction. (1).

 

Kissinger and NSSM 200

 

Since more than a quarter century, Rockefeller Foundation energy has

been focused on biotechnology and genetic engineering research and

promotion. This comes after decades of involvement in various

population control schemes for the developing world. There is no

contradiction.

 

In 1972 President Nixon named foundation board member, John D.

Rockefeller III, to chair a Presidential Commission on " Population

and

the American Future. " The same Rockefeller created the Population

Council in 1952, and openly called for " zero population growth. "

 

Rockefeller's Commission on Population and the American Future laid

the foundation for Henry Kissinger's National Security memorandum,

NSSM 200, of April 1974, which cited population growth in strategic,

raw materials rich developing countries as a US national security

concern of the highest priority.

 

During the 1970's, when Kissinger was National Security Council

director as well as Secretary of State, food and oil emerged as

strategic US national security commodities. Kissinger initiated the

controversial " oil-for-food " strategy in which a food-deficient USSR

imported vast sums of US grain and paid it with large export of

Soviet

oil for dollars. US domestic oil production, outside Alaska, had

peaked in 1970 and began a steady decline. The US was becoming

increasingly an oil import nation. National security became tied to

security of cheap imported oil, and food was a weapon in the US

security arsenal from that time on. Kissinger's Cabinet colleague,

Agriculture Secretary, Earl Butz, reflected the Kissinger policy when

he stated, " Hungry men listen only to those who have a piece of

bread.

Food is a tool. It is a weapon in the US negotiating kit. " Kissinger

was then chief negotiator.

 

In 1974, Kissinger submitted the NSSM 200 memorandum to President

Nixon, naming population growth in key raw-materials rich developing

countries as, a US " national security threat. " Since that time,

control of economic growth rates and population growth in key

developing countries has been US national security priority.

 

Kissinger owed his political career since the late 1950's to his

stint

as a researcher for the Rockefeller family, and owed his rise to

power

to their backing. The Rockefeller family had been at the center of US

oil and raw materials geopolitics since early in the 1900's, when the

Standard Oil Trust was built. Kissinger was well aware of the

importance of food and energy to US national interests.

 

With Kissinger's NSSM 200, Washington official policy was to impose

restrictions on fast-growing developing countries, policies which

would significantly cut population growth. In NSSM 200, Kissinger

implied that famine might be an effective way to reduce population:

" …large-scale famine of a kind not experienced for several

decades -

a kind the world thought had been permanently banished, " was

foreseeable, he wrote. He remarked that the US and other donor

countries would not be likely to provide necessary food export to the

afflicted regions.

 

In 1975, Kissinger's successor as National Security Advisor, Brent

Scowcroft, later a Kissinger business partner, wrote, " United States

leadership is essential to combat population growth, to implement the

World Population Plan of Action and to advance United States security

and overseas interests. The President endorses…NSSM 200…, "

Scowcroft added.

 

Kissinger's NSSM 200 document, classified secret and not made public

until 1989, took estimates of world population growth to the end of

the century and beyond, and the impact on the need for food and raw

materials, notably energy. " Growing populations will have a serious

impact on the need for food especially in the poorest, fastest

growing

LDC's, " Kissinger stated. " World needs for food rise by 2.5% or more

a

year at a time when readily available fertilizer and well-watered

land

is already largely being utilized. Therefore, additions to food

production must come from higher yields, " the Government memo

declared. It was at this time that the Rockefeller Foundation also

began large research in genetic engineering of plants, including

rice,

ostensibly to raise yields.

 

With NSSM 200, Washington made implementation of population control

programs a pre-condition for US financial aid, even famine relief.

Washington ensured that birth reduction was adopted as official

policy

by the IMF, World Bank and the UN. Beginning the mid-1970's all IMF

and World Bank aid to developing target countries was tied to their

willingness to accept population control policies dictated by

Washington.

 

NSSM 200 explicitly listed 13 countries as " key countries " in which

the US held a " special political and strategic interest. " These were:

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Thailand, Nigeria,

Philippines, Turkey, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia.

Their population growth was deemed especially worrisome to US

national

interests, according to Kissinger. Notably, every key country has

been

subjected to major social, economic and military upheaval since 1974.

US food aid, even in famine, was withheld from countries refusing to

adopt US-mandated birth control or population reduction policies.

(2).

 

NSSM 200 continues as unofficial US Government policy to the present

day, despite public Bush Administration concessions to Catholic Right

to Life groups. In this, the role of the Rockefeller Foundation is

central to Washington policy regarding genetic engineering in world

agriculture, especially that in key developing nations in Asia,

Africa

and Latin America.

 

Rockefeller's GM proliferation network

 

In 1971 the Rockefeller Foundation, together with the Ford Foundation

and the World Bank, established the Consultative Group on

International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), which runs 16 research

centers around the world, most in developing countries, spending some

$350 million annually. The focus of CGIAR is the spread of GM crops

in

the developing world.

 

CGIAR today operates under the umbrella of the World Bank, and has

drawn 20 developing countries in as sponsors. World Bank aid is

administered on the basis of a recipient agreeing to impose

population

control policies, the present form of NSSM 200, but with Washington

officially in the background. Thus, the Rockefeller Foundation, World

Bank, Monsanto and other agri-giants and the US Government, all meet

under CGIAR auspices.

 

The CGIAR mission is to promote " sustainable agriculture for food

security. " To do this, CGIAR has used its funds and government

influence to take control of one of the world's largest collections

of

plant genetic resources. CGIAR then makes the materials available to

companies like Monsanto and Syngenta, " so that new gene combinations

can be used to increase productivity, sustainably, " as they state. In

turn, CGIAR mobilizes biotechnology proliferation in developing

countries. CGIAR trains the most promising national scientists and

researchers in biotechnology, insuring that cadre of pro-GM national

researchers will promote the spread of GM agriculture and

biotechnology back home.

 

In addition to its role in establishing CGIAR, the Rockefeller

Foundation has been a major donor to the International Service for

the

Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications or ISAAA.

 

Every US President since George H.W. Bush in 1992, has made support

of

genetically engineered crops a matter of highest national priority.

The example of US-AID backing for the Rockefeller Foundation's ISAAA

is exemplary.

 

The ISAAA was originally founded with Rockefeller Brothers' Fund

money

for the sole purpose to " facilitate the delivery of proprietary

biotechnologies from the corporate labs of the industrialized world

into the food and farming systems of the South. "

 

How this works becomes clear when the current financial sponsors of

the ISAAA are known. In addition to the Rockefeller Foundation,

sponsors include Monsanto (USA), Syngenta (Swiss), Dow AgroSciences

(USA), Pioneer Hi-Bred (USA), Cargill (USA), Bayer CropScience

(Germany), and a mysterious " Anonymous Donor " (USA), and US-AID of

the

State Department.

 

The argument of the institutions behind ISAAA is that the developing

world is where a rising population makes growing food demand most

acute, but where economic resources are least able to meet the needs.

Hence, ISAAA enables the introduction of corporate GM technologies

and

crops from the industrial world into the South, acting as " honest

brokers " in their words.

 

As the Kissinger NSSM 200 targeted 13 developing countries in 1974

for

population reduction, the ISAAA targets 12 countries for introduction

of GM crops. Six of these countries are the same as Kissinger listed

in 1974: Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and

Egypt. In addition, ISAAA lists Malaysia, Vietnam, Kenya, Zimbabwe,

Argentina and Costa Rica.

 

By their own admission, the ISAAA launches propaganda offensives to

counter hostility to GM crops, and they train science elites from the

target countries, often bringing them to USA or other leading GM

research centers such as the Monsanto Life Sciences Research Center,

to learn the world of GM elite research. Randy Hautea is head of the

group's SEAsia Center in the Philippines, based in the center

established by the Rockefeller Foundation's International Rice

Research Institute (IRRI).

 

Hautea recently stated that his group has targeted Indonesia,

Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam because, " they all

have the political will to pursue and adopt biotechnology

applications. " What Hautea did not say was that introduction of GM

seeds means introduction of costly GM pesticides and other policies

which only global agribusiness companies are able to carry out.

 

Food production of target countries is being transformed into the

global agribusiness market, not longer available for national food

security. Hautea does not say how biotechnology brought in to, say,

Indonesia or Malaysia by Syngenta or Monsanto, contributes to the

benefit of small farmers, the heart of their food production. To

date,

in fact, there exists no proof of any benefit from GM crops for

family

farmers. In fact the opposite is the case. Farmers are often coerced

or forced to buy Monsanto GM seeds or other GM seeds by their

governments.

 

Through ISAAA and related networks of organizations, the Rockefeller

Foundation is at the center of the worldwide actions of Monsanto,

DuPont, Cargill and Dow Agri-sciences, Syngenta, Bayer AG and other

major biotech giants, dominating the ongoing " new Green Revolution "

as

Rockefeller's Conway terms it. (3).

 

Spreading the GM control

 

The list of major GM plants today includes GM rice, soybeans, corn,

oilseeds, and numerous other basic food crops. The Rockefeller

Foundation has played a key fostering role in the development of most

major new types.

 

More than 70% of all processed foods Americans consume comes today

from GM products. Almost all the animal feed used to feed cattle, and

other animals in the US and in major world markets today is GM feed,

mainly soymeal and corn.

 

Most Americans are ignorant of what they eat. The US government has

refused to label food that contains GM inputs. A new EU food

labelling

law also does not require producers to identify animal products fed

on

GM feed, leaving consumers ignorant of what GM products they eat. In

2003, the total acreage planted to GM seeds worldwide was 167 million

acres or 68 million hectares according to ISAAA data. This was a 15%

rise in one year. The United States is the largest GM grower with 106

million acres of genetically modified soybeans, corn and cotton.

Worldwide, 55% of all soybeans grown now are GM crops. Soymeal is one

of the most essential and richest protein sources for animal and

human

consumption. Every bite of a McDonald's hamburger contains as much as

30% of GM soyameal.

 

Without even realizing, most people in North America, East Asia and

Europe regularly eat products or animals fed from GM crops. What is

most remarkable is the fact that farmers in North America, Australia,

Argentina, and more recently after a long battle, in Brazil, have

surrendered their control over seeds to a handful of multinational

biotech giants who have a deliberate strategy to dominate and control

the planting of basic food crops worldwide.

 

The terminator not dead

 

If emerging nations from China to India to Indonesia and beyond, were

to manage to create a food self-sufficiency independent of reliance

on

US or OECD food suppliers, the ability of the United States to remain

the dominant power would diminish, regardless of military might.

 

What better way to control the destiny of China, India, East Asia and

the rest of the world than to establish permanent control over their

ability to grow food? Enter Monsanto and the agriculture

biotechnology

cartel, who dominate GM crops globally. Just two years ago it seemed

Monsanto might be headed into financial ruin. Today, it is on the

verge of becoming the one of the single most powerful corporations in

the world.

 

Interestingly, it was the direct intervention of the Rockefeller

Foundation in October 1999, which was responsible for the

widely-touted decision of Monsanto " not to commercialize " its

'terminator technology' for GM seeds. Monsanto president Robert

Shapiro wrote to the Rockefeller Foundation that it would " shelve " or

put on hold its " sterile seed " technology, formally called Genetic

Use

Restriction Technology (GURT). The Monsanto decision was a tactical

ploy, taken on advice of Rockefeller's Conway, to defulse growing

opposition to GM crops, especially in Europe. Monsanto's terminator

seed technology, in which the US Department of Agriculture also holds

part patent rights, has been called the ultimate weapon, the 'neutron

bomb' of agriculture, rightly so.

 

Terminator seeds would solve a major problem for Monsanto and other

GM

giants in collecting seed fees in the developing world for patented

GM

seeds, something made possible a few years ago by GATT trade talks on

patent rights.

 

Free trade in agriculture is today at the heart of the WTO. Under the

treaty of the World Trade Organization, created by the GATT Uruguay

trade round in the early 1990's, multinational corporations now have

the right, enforced by WTO sanctions, to collect royalty payments for

" intellectual property. "

 

The Uruguay agreement, ratified by all GATT member countries under

enormous US pressure, allows a corporation for the first time, to

patent a specific plant variety, even though that plant sort might

have been in the public domain in a country such as Pakistan or Peru

for thousands of years. The WTO term is Trade Related Aspects of

Intellectual Property Rights, TRIPs. Washington pushed the

controversial TRIPs agreement through GATT, accusing developing

countries of 'piracy' in not paying due royalties to multinationals,

claiming US companies were losing hundreds on millions in unpaid fees

for fertilizer and seeds or drugs. Mickey Kantor, US Trade

Representative who negotiated the Uruguay Round talks, today sits on

the board of Monsanto.

 

The TRIPs WTO agreement includes patent rights on GM plants. Under

TRIPs the Swiss agri-tech company, Syngenta, holds control

potentially

of most of the rice in Pakistan, India and Asia. Monsanto dominates

patents on soybeans, corn, cotton and other major crops. Their only

problem is how to collect royalty payments from millions of small

peasant farmers. Collecting patent payments for GM seeds in many

developing countries is extremely difficult.

 

Not so, if terminator seeds are sold. Terminator technology, which

Monsanto paid $1.6 billion to acquire, allows introduction of a

'suicide gene' into plants such as corn or cotton or soya or

potentially, even wheat. A farmer using terminator seeds no longer

will be able to share seeds with other farmers or plant his own in

following years. He will be forced to turn to Monsanto each season to

buy his existence, in the form of more suicide seeds, as well as the

special herbicides Monsanto has developed to be used with it. The

original developers of terminator technology, Delta & Pine Land Seed,

which Monsanto bought in 1998, specifically noted that the rice and

wheat markets of China, India, Pakistan and such major population

countries was the target of terminator. The political implications of

such a development are easy to imagine.

 

Rockefeller Foundation funds vaccines with hidden birth-control

hormones

 

The Rockefeller Foundation is among the funders of a WHO program in

" reproductive health " which has developed a tetanus vaccine that

allegedly contains hidden birth-control hormones.

 

According to a report from the Global Vaccine Institute, the WHO has

overseen massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in Nicaragua,

Mexico and the Philippines since the early 1990's. Comite Pro Vida de

Mexico, a Catholic organization, tested numerous vials of the vaccine

and found them to contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), a

natural hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy. When combined with a

tetanus toxoid carrier, it stimulates formation of antibodies against

hCG, rendering a woman incapable of maintaining a pregnancy. Similar

reports of vaccines laced with hCG hormones have come from the

Philippines and Nicaragua.

 

The organization confirmed several other curious facts about the WHO

vaccination programs. Tetanus vaccine was given only to women,

between

ages 15-45, not men or children. The presence of hCG is a clear

contamination of the vaccine. It does not belong. With financial

support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank, the

Population Council, Ford Foundation, among others, the WHO has been

working for 20 years to develop an anti-fertility vaccine using hCG

with tetanus and other vaccines, according to scientific articles

published on the effort by WHO. This has been documented by WHO and

others, including the respected British medical journal, The Lancet,

June 11, 1988, " Clinical Trials of a WHO Borth Control Vaccine. "

 

To mid-1993 the WHO had spent a total of $365 million of such

research

funds on " reproductive health " including research on implanting hCG

into tetanus vaccine. WHO has been unable to answer why women

vaccinated were found with anti-hCG antibodies. They feebly replied

it

was " insignificant. " The vaccine was produced by Connaught

Laboratories Ltd of Canada and Intervex and CSL Laboratories of

Australia.

 

Since the 1920's the Rockefeller Foundation has been among the

leading

sponsors of population reduction programs worldwide. If the reports

of

birth control vaccines are true, it is not difficult to suspect the

Rockefeller Foundation is also among those planning to use

genetically

modified seeds technology as a potential means to control world

population growth through future control of food supply.

 

 

 

The Rockefeller-Monsanto public relations maneuver " not to

commercialize " terminator seeds was clearly designed to defuse

growing

opposition to proliferation of GM seeds, to buy time while allowing

them to spread GM crops to the world's largest growing areas - North

America, Argentina, Brazil and now, the EU. Once spread, it is simple

to shift to terminator.

 

In February 2003, at a meeting of the International Seed Federation

in

Lyon France, Monsanto's Roger Krueger released a paper titled, " The

Benefits of GURTs. " It argued that terminator in fact would benefit

poor farmers. Monsanto argues in a new ploy, that terminator would in

fact hinder spread of unwanted GM genes to non-GM plants, promoting

the same idea in new clothes as a " biosafety " tool. Clearly they

believe opposition to terminator and GM is falling. Reports are that

Monsanto would be ready to introduce commercial terminator or GURT

seeds in 3-4 years.

 

Dual use and GM crops: Biowarfare?

 

The days are long past when the USDA represented the interests of

America's family farmers. Today, US agri-business, dominated by a

dozen or more giant international concerns, is the second most

profitable industry next to pharmaceuticals, and has annual value of

well over $800 billion. The USDA today is the organized lobby of

agri-business giants, none more influential than Monsanto. Bush

Administration official, Ann Veneman, USDA Secretary, is a former

board member of a Monsanto company and, not surprisingly, a strong

advocate of GM. Several other Bush officials have ties to Monsanto as

well.

 

Terminator and related GM technologies in the hands of Monsanto and

less than half-a-dozen corporations worldwide, backed by the USDA,

Defense Department and State Department, could open the door to

potential forms of biological warfare against entire populations not

imagined before. A recent US Air Force study states that " biological

weapons offer greater possibilities for use than do nuclear weapons. "

 

Washington US-AID food assistance for Africa in recent months has

been

linked to willingness of a country to accept US GM crops. US

assistance to combat AIDS in Africa has similar strings. GM has

clearly become a strategic, geopolitical tool for Washington.

 

Defenders of GM technology argue that no one in their right mind

would

consider such a drastic use of GM crops as to control entire areas of

world food supply. " We're tempted to say that nobody in their right

mind would ever use these things. " Stanford biology professor Steven

Block stated in another context. Block hastened to add, " But not

everybody is in their right mind! " Block, a leading consultant to the

US Government, went on to warn, " Any technology that can be used to

insert genes into DNA can be used for either good or bad. " Genetic

engineering can create rice with enhanced vitamin A, but can just as

well create seeds containing highly toxic bacteria. US researchers

first did this in 1986. Genetic engineering of more toxic and harder

to detect bioweapons was a major motivation for nations to call for a

stronger convention on bioweapons.

 

The US Government's controversial drug eradication program in

Colombia, since discontinued, would spray crops with deadly

glyphosate. Glyphosate, under the patent name, Roundup, is the GM

herbicide sold by Monsanto also for its GM plants. The Bush

Administration has repeatedly refused to back a legally binding

Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, arguing it needs the freedom

to develop defense against biowarfare. Freedom can work both ways

however.

 

Genetic manipulation opens the possibilities in the hands of a

malevolent power, to unleash untold harm on the human species. Even

were it to be the case that GM plants increase yields, which is not

at

all proven, this potential for control of the food supply of entire

nations is too much power to give to any single corporation or

government. Essential foods, like fresh water, are no ordinary

commodities to be sold under rules of an imposed free market. They

are

basic human rights as the right to breathe. We should not tempt any

government with the power that present GM strategists advocate over

our food security.
