When international agribusiness gets its hooks right into our bellies[ Editor’s note: Brother Engdahl takes us into a dark story on the dark Continent, where imperial “food colonization” is making a big move, with the tag-team duo of big corporate interests and the Obama Administration’s political muscle.
This is another chapter in the economic wars America is waging, with the warmongers attempting to give themselves free pass to use any and all power levers to get what they want under the cover of “long term economic national security”.
It seems that keeping the US financial house of cards going for another generation allows the type of no holds barred subterfuge and co-option from the Cold War years. Uncooperative foreign governments are to be squeezed and intimidated to keep them in line with US interests.
Sure, the US has done a lot to support development in Africa, as have many others. But we do not see the heavy hand being used to the degree wherever our CIA USAID tentacles go. This is the kind of behavior expected from a conqueror and occupying force, despite the fact that Africa had never shown signs of attacking the US. Still, we took it over to eliminate the “possible threat”.
The global control over energy, with political power fronting for multinational economic warlords, gives them levers of power to steal huge amounts of capital out of international commerce whenever they desire.
After these huge economic raids were pulled off with no political fallout or public condemnation, the guilty began looking for more targets.
We got the mortgage banking fraud from the Bush gangsters, followed by unregulated derivatives trading, which tanked entire regional economies — with hardly a soul going to jail over these grand larcenies, other than a few small fry without big political connections.
We had better wake up folks. As long as these thieves and their political buddies are walking around on the surface of the earth, they are going to keep on doing this, viewing us as “sheepeople”. We only aid that perception by our lack of resistance.
We bear a lot of responsibility for letting them get away with it. As Mike Harris often likes to say, “Santa and the Tooth Fairy are not coming to save us.” We have only ourselves to depend on, so we had better saddle up before we have no chance at all… Jim W. Dean ]

– First published March 24, 2015 –
In 2014, there was the western Africa Ebola hoax where US President Barack Obama, the first black man to be President of the US, announced his “War on Ebola”.
In September last year he ordered 3,000 US military troops to the region — though reportedly none had experience in public health, and no one had produced rigorous laboratory proof of a single person dying from something called Ebola virus.
Liberia was among the poorest and most war-torn regions in the world. Wars over blood diamonds and colonial genocidal tribal wars have left a devastated, malnourished population in its wake.
Was Ebola simply a panic-maker? Further investigation uncovered the Pentagon was developing an Ebola vaccine with Monsanto, and suspicion was that the 3,000 US troops were sent to force the population to become human guinea pigs for the untested substances.
Before that Obama, or more precisely, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in 2011 ordered Libya to be bombed back to the stone-age as what she called “responsibility to protect.” Today, four years after, the country is pure anarchy, with roving lawless bands killing and looting.
Now Obama and his Administration, the US Government, have teamed up with Mr. “Vaccinate All Africans” Bill Gates, a eugenics protégé and intimate of David Rockefeller. Obama and Gates share a dark secret. They are colluding to contaminate the incredibly rich and productive soils of Africa with GMO — GMO from a company where Bill Gates is a major stockholder — Monsanto.

USAID, Gates and Monsanto in Africa
A new report was released on February 23 that documents for the first time the stealth methods of the US State Department and USAID, the ostensible Agency for International Development which is intimately tied to the agenda of the CIA and Pentagon’s AFRICOM, together with Monsanto, to push unwanted GMO crops, especially Monsanto GMO maize, on African countries.
Haidee Swanby from the African Centre for Biosafety who authored the report stated, “The US, the world’s top producer of GM crops, is seeking new markets for American GM crops in Africa. The US administration’s strategy consists of assisting African nations to produce biosafety laws that promote agribusiness interests instead of protecting Africans from the potential threats of GM crops.”
According to Swanby, USAID has two projects in Africa which “help” various African governments draw up national biosafety laws as such consumer protection is lacking in all but seven African countries.
However, USAID in collusion with Monsanto, the world’s largest GMO purveyor, drafts laws that permit insufficiently tested GMO seeds such as Monsanto GMO maize, to be considered “biosafe,” claiming GMO is the solution to African hunger, a brazen lie as no GMO plant on the market today has been modified to increase harvest yield.
Concerning food security, Swanby points to the rare case of South Africa which has allowed GMO for the past 16 years:
“South African farmers have more than 16 years’ experience cultivating GM maize, soya and cotton, but the promise that GM crops would address food security has not been fulfilled. Indeed, South Africa’s food security is reportedly declining with almost half the nation currently categorized as food insecure even though South Africa exports maize.”

Subverting Cartegena Protocol
In 2003, over the bitter opposition of the US Government, 168 nations adopted what is called the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
It puts the “precautionary principle” as primary—If you have not sufficiently proven safety of GMO and other bioengineered crops, protection of human health is primary, not free trade.
Once the Protocol came into force, Washington began to lobby African governments and institutions (among others) to accept GMO crops with minimal safety assessment, hoping their lack of institutional depth would allow them to be either fooled or corrupted.
USAID is assisting Regional Economic Communities in Africa to develop policies aimed not at ensuring biosafety, but at limiting regulation, which they consider to be a barrier to regional trade in GMO food and crops.
The Swanby report documents how the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation works hand-in-glove with USAID by funding organizations such as the African Agriculture Technology Foundation whose aim is to promote introduction of GMO crops into Africa.
Gates also works closely with the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations in their Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, which pushes GMO crops as the wonder advance in biological science.
If harvest failure, declining crop yields and mandatory use of highly toxic Roundup weed killer from Monsanto — which has been proven to kill cells in human embryos — can be called a biological wonder, we should perhaps see it through the eyes of eugenics advocates like Bill Gates and David Rockefeller, who have dreamed of biochemical population reduction for decades.
In effect, we have the first African-American US President, through the US AID, in an alliance with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Monsanto to spread death and destruction of natural agriculture in Africa.
Their dark secret is that they are wittingly trying to kill off the darker-skinned peoples of the African Continent. It is an old agenda of “stupid white male” European colonialists, but one now being imposed with the sophistication of Madison Avenue PR and mumbo-jumbo about the wonder of biotech GMO.
Their only problem for Gates and company is that, fortunately, African people are not so stupid as Bill Gates or Barack Obama or his personal handler, another African-American, Susan E. Rice, who has blood of millions of Africans on her hands going back to her role in the US State Department as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and her responsibility for the Rwandan Genocide of more than one million Tutsis in 1994 under Bill Clinton.___
