And Now: ‘The Gates Foundation Uses Genetic Modification For Good’
October 24th, 2011Wow. Just… Wow.
Breathtaking.
Via: FastCompany:
It’s easy to demonize genetically modified crops. After all, we don’t exactly know what their long-term health effects are, and they have the nasty habit of cross-pollinating with non-GMO crops. When new stories come out about advances in the field, many people react with anger and fear. But the Gates Foundation (and Bill Gates himself) has long supported the use of GMO foods to increase crop yields and nutrition in the developing world. And now the foundation has joined the Monsanto Fund and the Howard Buffett Foundation in giving $11.9 million to the Virus Resistant Cassava For Africa (VIRCA) project, which is developing cassava varieties that can resist deadly viruses. Is it possible, then, that Gates can use GMO technology for good?

What I would give to be a fly on the wall at the PR strategy meetings that brought this intellectual abortion to life…
“…right, now that Bill has finished rebooting, we’ll get started on the strategy meeting…
…first, our funding mandate here is clear. Our main job is to rehabilitate GMO tech in the eyes of the less intelligent segments of society and pacify the bulk of the grass roots resistance…
…of course, we will have full cooperation from our publishing partners on this one. Other markets will be captured directly via advertising or indirectly via editorial cooperation from specific individuals loyal to the cause at other key media outlets…
…we’ll launch this multi-year campaign via print media, since the interactive nature of radio & TV offer far too much opportunity to the opposition to counter our arguments…”
@miraculix,
Amen to your comment.I read somewhere once that Bill Gates Jr.’s nuts were in a vice re antitrust and that his way out of paying the HUGE antitrust settlement was to “cooperate with the authorities.” I guess they must really have Gates by the literal and figurative Balls. Why else would he put his money behind such devildom, everywhere he goes: vaccines, birh control, whatever.
Poor tortured soul cannot enjoy all of his billions because the Illumanti own him now. They have his balance sheet on a pike taped to a picture of his head.
Maybe Bill should just pay his fines and be done with it rather than put what was a good family name behind all of thie BULLSHIT!
Bill, WAKE UP. Its not to late for you. WAKE UP. PAY THE FINE FOR YOUR CRIMES and just get on with your LIFE. Stop selling out to these freaks who must likely have you tied down to a rack and are injecting drugs into your veins to have you be supporting such heinious ventures.
If this is not your experience, HOW ELSE CAN YOU EXPLAIN YOUR POOR CHOICES RE YOUR INVESTMENTS?
IF YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF YOUR MONEY, YOUR ADVISORE ARE IDIOTS AND SLAVES TO THE VATICAN AND OR GOLDMAN SACKS OR BOTH.
WAKE UP. SLAP TO THE HEAD. WAKE UP. STOP YOUR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU BUT MAKE YOU UBER RICH THAT YOU HATE US SO MUCH?
Eileen; first things first, thanks for the props.
Now, the hard truth : you seriously need to ease back on the CAPS. You see, *emphasis* works BEST when applied judiciously.
IT DOESN’T WORK AT ALL WHEN OVERUSED, YOU SEE. TO ME, IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE A VIRTUAL CRAYON.
And exactly who are you ranting away at SO hard with all those BIG LETTERS? Do you actually think Big Bad Bill actually reads this stuff?
