Food Freedom News
Last year, at the G8 Summit held at Camp David, President Obama met with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured, (GMO Crops) genetically modified crops and (Monsanto's Chemicals like Roundup) toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit.
And Bono, of the rock group U2, is out shilling for Monsanto on this one.
It's phase 2 of the Green Revolution. Tanzania, Ghana, and Ethiopia are the first to fall for the deception, with Mozambique, Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso and other African nations lining up for the "Grow Africa Partnership," under Obama's "Global Agricultural Development" plan.
In Obama Pitches India Model of GM Genocide to Africa, Scott Creighton writes:
But African civil society wants no part of this latest Monsanto aligned 'public private partnership.'
Whatever will the Progressives/aka Communists do now that their flawless hero has teamed up with their most hated nemesis to exploit an entire continent called Africa like they did to India not that long ago?
With a commitment of $3 billion, Obama plans to 'partner up' with mega-multinationals like Monsanto, Diageo, Dupont, Cargill, Vodafone, Walmart, Pepsico, Prudential, Syngenta International, and Swiss Re because, as one USAID representative says 'There are things that only companies can do, like building silos for storage and developing seeds and fertilizers.'
Of course, that's an outrageous lie.
Private citizens have been building their own silos for centuries.
But it's true that only the biowreck engineers will foist patented GMO seeds and toxic chemicals on Africa like they have on India and Central America.
Creighton continues:
Bono says that there has to be a 'public private partnership' in order to get this done and that they are going to be using the ideas of the African people and farmers. Really?
This is what the African farmers say to that...
'We the people/Farmers of Africa request that: – Governments, FAO, the G8, the World Bank and the GAFSP reconsider their promotion of Public/Private Partnerships which, as they are now conceived, are NOT suitable instruments to support the family farms which are the very basis of African food security and sovereignty.' African Civil Society Organizations
I wonder if that could be any clearer.
They don't WANT the public private partnerships involved in this process.... It's not enough that huge mega-corporations are bleeding the nations of Africa dry by sucking the valuable mineral resources out of their hills. No. As Bono says about the development in Africa:
'They're future consumers for the United States. The president is talking business. This is good. It's a whole new development paradigm today. The old donor/recipient relationship... it's over.'
