12 Nov 2020 – Prof. Vandana Shiva<\/a><\/strong> has been courageously speaking out against the insidious \u2018Great Reset\u2019 being sprung on us by Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates and the rest of the global capitalist elite.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She warns in a new interview<\/a> that \u201cThe Great Reset is about maintaining and empowering a corporate extraction machine and the private ownership of life\u201d. (1)<\/p>\n

Shiva has lately been drawing particular attention to the insidious role of Bill Gates in the technocrats\u2019 assault on food and nature.<\/p>\n

In October 2020 she warned:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith his philanthro-imperialism, Gates is emerging as the Columbus of the digital age, the New Monsanto pushing failed GMOs and trying to introduce new GMOs based on gene editing\u201d. (2)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gates\u2019 nefarious activity is the subject of a special report produced by Navdanya, the seed and food sovereignty movement founded by Shiva in 1987. (3)<\/p>\n

Shiva commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen the Green Revolution and the industrial agriculture model fail, wiping out forests, transforming the land into a monoculture, causing pollution and illness, destroying natural resources and livelihoods. And it is now a major contributor of climate change and species and biodiversity extinction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn spite of this, while we are looking at better ways to farm, Gates has pushed the Green Revolution in Africa. He seems too impatient to look at the complexity of the natural world and biodiversity. He\u2019s taking control of the worlds\u2019 seed banks, pushing failed GMOs that we had rejected in India to other countries, taking control of gene traits through gene editing, trying to control the climate through geoengineering, and driving extinction through gene drives\u201d. (4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shiva has also been strongly critical of The Great Reset, the global technocratic corporate coup promoted by Gates\u2019 friend and associate Klaus Schwab<\/a> of the World Economic Forum.<\/p>\n

She told Jeremy Loffredo of The Defender<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Great Reset is about multinational corporate stakeholders at the World Economic Forum controlling as many elements of planetary life as they possibly can. From the digital data humans produce to each morsel of food we eat\u201d. (5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shiva accused the WEF of \u201cparading fake science\u201d with its emphasis on GM food, lab-made proteins and pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals as \u201csustainable solutions\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She added that \u201cfor Mr Schwab to promote these technologies as solutions proves that The Great Reset is about maintaining and empowering a corporate extraction machine and the private ownership of life\u201d.<\/strong> (6)<\/p>\n

Schwab\u2019s WEF has partnered with an organization called EAT Forum, closely linked to the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n

Said Shiva:<\/p>\n

\u201cEAT\u2019s proposed diet is not about nutrition at all, it\u2019s about big business and it\u2019s about a corporate takeover of the food system.<\/p>\n

\u201cEAT\u2019s uniform global diet will be produced with western technology and agricultural chemicals. Forcing this onto sovereign nations by multinational lobbying is what I refer to as food imperialism\u201d. (7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
