2012 End-of-the-World Countdown Based on Mayan Calendar Starts Today

The countdown to the apocalypse is on.

We're one year away from Dec. 21, 2012, the date that the ancient Mayan Long Count calendar allegedly marked as
the end of an era that would reset the date to zero and signal the end of humanity.
But will it?
There have been many end of times predictions over the years. Christian radio host Harold Camping faced widespread
ridicule when his predictions that the world would end twice this year - on May 21, and then on Oct. 21 - failed to
materialize.

But in the flurry of doomsday predictions - there have been similar dire warnings about the world coming to an end
from various cultures, including Native Americans, the Chinese, Egyptians and even the Irish - the supposed Mayan
prophecy seems to have held the most sway with believers.

The Mayan civilization, which reached its height from 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., had a talent for astronomy. Advanced
mathematics and primitive astronomy flourished, creating what many have called the most accurate calendar in the
world.

The Mayans predicted a final event that included a solar shift, a Venus transit and violent earthquakes.

Their Long Count calendar begins in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen
was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and they wrote that the 13th Baktun ends on Dec. 21, 2012.

The doomsday theories stem from a stone tablet discovered in the 1960s at the archaeological site of Tortuguero in
the Gulf of Mexico state of Tabasco that describes the return of a Mayan god at the end of a 13th period.

"The Maya are viewed by many westerners as exotic folks that were supposed to have had some special, secret
knowledge," said Mayan scholar Sven Gronemeyer. "What happens is that our expectations and fears get projected on
the Maya calendar."

Gronemeyer, of La Trobe University in Australia, compares the supposed Mayan prophecies to the "Y2K" hype, when
people feared all computer systems would crash when the new millennium began on Jan. 1, 2000.

For some reason, Gronemeyer says, people have ignored evidence that dates beyond 2012 were recorded.

The blogosphere exploded with more speculation when Mexico's archaeology institute acknowledged on Nov. 24 a second
reference to Dec. 21, 2012, on a brick found at other ruins.

"Human beings seem to be attracted by apocalyptic ideas and always assume the worst," Gronemeyer said.

Believers have taken the end-of-the world fears to the Internet with hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs.
Yet others are capitalizing on the heightened interest. Films depicting the end of the world - including the 2009 movie,
"2012? - are contributing to the mounting hype as well as to misinformation, experts say.

In southern Mexico, the heart of Maya territory, a yearlong celebration is planned.

Mexico's tourism agency expects to draw 52 million visitors by next year only to the regions of Chiapas, Yucatan,
Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Campeche. All of Mexico usually lures about 22 million foreigners in a year.

It's selling the date, the Winter Solstice in the coming year, as a time of renewal. Many archeologists argue that the
2012 reference on a 1,300-year-old stone tablet only marks the end of a cycle in the Mayan calendar.

"The world will not end. It is an era," said Yeanet Zaldo, a tourism spokeswoman for the Caribbean state of Quintana
Roo, home to Cancun. "For us, it is a message of hope."

For those who are thinking about how to spend what could be their last year on earth, here's another message of
hope: According to recent research, the mythological date of the "end of days" may be off by 50 to 100 years.

To convert the ancient Mayan calendar to the Gregorian (or modern) calendar, scholars use a numerical value (called the
GMT). But Gerardo Aldana, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has said the data supporting
the widely-adopted conversion factor may be invalid.

Aldana isn't the only detractor.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration - yes, that's NASA - has also weighed in on the issue.

The agency's scientists posted answers to the most popular questions about the end-of-times theory associated with
the prophecy.

"Remember the Y2K scare? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of
the situation. Impressive movie special effects aside, Dec. 21, 2012, won't be the end of the world as we know," the
2009 web page post says.

The answers addressed questions about whether there were any known threats to the Earth and the truth about the
calendar.
One of answers posted was to the question of the possible approach of Nibiru (or Planet X or Eris), a supposed
wayward planet that is said could pose a threat to Earth. The answer was a definitive rejection of the idea.

"Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax," scientists wrote. "There is no factual basis
for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers
would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously,
it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the
closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles."

The 2012 Truth..
January 4th, 2010 by admin
Do you know who is Nostradamus? Let me remind you that he is the same person whose predictions have
never gone wrong. And can you believe it that he has predicted that the whole world will come to an
end on December 21st, 2012. Can you believe this? Nobody will certainly like to believe this. But nobody
knows that what the truth is. It is still a mystery. The Mayan calendar is 5125 years old and it ends on
December 21st 2012. What will happen after this? This is certainly a mystery. So let us see that what are
some of the 2012 calendar predictions?

1. It is believed that the new age will come to the vicinity after December 21st. All of us and the whole
world will take a new shape. However, the Mayan calendar does not predict that the atmosphere will
also be destroyed. The atmosphere will certainly not be destroyed. This does means that there will be
some changes on the earth crust. There can be very severe volcanic eruption throughout the world and
this will lead to severe loss of lives. The calendar predicts that none of the people will be left. The
year of 2012 will mark the beginning of the apocalypse.

2. The catastrophe might also occur in 2012. The first point also suggests the same thing but the words
are different. You will certainly find out that the earth crust will tear up from various places and the
lava will flow out of it. All the continents will see the major setbacks.

However there is a surprise for you. The Maya calendars are seldom used by the people. But if you will
talk to the Maya tribes and the Mayan speaking peoples then you will come to know that they know
nothing about 2012. They have no idea that what is going to happen on December 2012. Actually the
western calendars have much to do with this prediction. The historians as well as the archeologist have
been doing research on the Mayan civilization for a very long period of time.

Very recently they come up with this discovery and the prediction being given in the Mayan calendar. But
certainly there is lots of mystery about it and you will certainly be confused to certain limit. Will the
catastrophe will occur on December 21st or will the world come to an end. This is certainly a mystery
and most of the researchers are researching on it. But only God knows that what is the truth.

The Mayans certainly were very good astronomers. They developed a perfect calendar and come up will
some of the very good prediction. Up till now all the predictions of the Maya calendar has certainly
come out to be the truth. Most of the calendar predictions have already happened and one big prediction
is yet to turn into the truth. But how is this going to be turned into the truth, this is yet to be seen. In this
article you will find some of the predictions and all of them have been turned out to be the truth.

The Maya calendar is certainly ending in the 2012. Yes, it is quite truth that the Maya calendar predicts
that there will be a new birth to the mankind in the year 2012. But let me tell you one more thing that the
Mayan calendar does not says that the world will end in the year 2012. The western Gregorian
calendar has much more to do with it.

Both of the world wars were being predicted by the Mayan calendar and we all know that it does
happened. Thus one can say that the Mayan calendar has been right in all the cases. But do you feel that
this will be true in 2012 as well. Oh God! Please save us from this disaster. This is certainly the outcry
at present. But would you be able to grasp this fact. It is very hard to tell. Do you know that almost all
the news channels around the world are at present filled with this news? Some of the news channel
shows this news daily on their channel.

This is certainly quite true that this might be the case but let me tell you that 90 % of the people of the
world at present are not thinking about it. Most of the people feel that it is a joke! But is it really a joke!
This is a big exclamation in the mind of almost all the people. And it is a question mark for those who are
the scientist.

What is the idea of the scientists; this is still to be known. But it is firmly believed that it will not happen.
Recently 2012 was released. But is it true. Will it happen? This is a big question mark in the faces of all
the people. The common people take it as a joke but what the scientists have to say, this is certainly yet to
be known.

"Doomsday Seed Vault" in the Arctic
Bill Gates, Rockefeller and the GMO giants know something we don’t
by F. William Engdahl

Global Research, December 4, 2007

One thing Microsoft founder Bill Gates can’t be accused of is sloth. He was already programming at 14, founded
Microsoft at age 20 while still a student at Harvard. By 1995 he had been listed by Forbes as the world’s richest man
from being the largest shareholder in his Microsoft, a company which his relentless drive built into a de facto monopoly
in software systems for personal computers.

In 2006 when most people in such a situation might think of retiring to a quiet Pacific island, Bill Gates decided to
devote his energies to his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest ‘transparent’ private foundation as it
says, with a whopping $34.6 billion endowment and a legal necessity to spend $1.5 billion a year on charitable projects
around the world to maintain its tax free charitable status. A gift from friend and business associate, mega-investor
Warren Buffett in 2006, of some $30 billion worth of shares in Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway put the Gates’ foundation
into the league where it spends almost the amount of the entire annual budget of the United Nations’ World Health
Organization.

So when Bill Gates decides through the Gates Foundation to invest some $30 million of their hard earned money in a
project, it is worth looking at.

No project is more interesting at the moment than a curious project in one of the world’s most remote spots,
Svalbard. Bill Gates is investing millions in a seed bank on the Barents Sea near the Arctic Ocean, some 1,100
kilometers from the North Pole. Svalbard is a barren piece of rock claimed by Norway and ceded in 1925 by
international treaty (see map).

On this God-forsaken island Bill Gates is investing tens of his millions along with the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto
Corporation, Syngenta Foundation and the Government of Norway, among others, in what is called the ‘doomsday seed
bank.’ Officially the project is named the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, part of
the Svalbard island group.

Doomsday Seed Vault

The seed bank is being built inside a mountain on Spitsbergen Island near the small village of Longyearbyen. It’s almost
ready for ‘business’ according to their releases. The bank will have dual blast-proof doors with motion sensors, two
airlocks, and walls of steel-reinforced concrete one meter thick. It will contain up to three million different varieties
of seeds from the entire world, ‘so that crop diversity can be conserved for the future,’ according to the Norwegian
government. Seeds will be specially wrapped to exclude moisture. There will be no full-time staff, but the vault's
relative inaccessibility will facilitate monitoring any possible human activity.

Did we miss something here? Their press release stated, ‘so that crop diversity can be conserved for the future.’
What future do the seed bank’s sponsors foresee, that would threaten the global availability of current seeds, almost
all of which are already well protected in designated seed banks around the world?

Anytime Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto and Syngenta get together on a common project, it’s worth
digging a bit deeper behind the rocks on Spitsbergen. When we do we find some fascinating things.

The first notable point is who is sponsoring the doomsday seed vault. Here joining the Norwegians are, as noted, the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; the US agribusiness giant DuPont/Pioneer Hi-Bred, one of the world’s largest owners
of patented genetically-modified (GMO) plant seeds and related agrichemicals; Syngenta, the Swiss-based major GMO
seed and agrichemicals company through its Syngenta Foundation; the Rockefeller Foundation, the private group who
created the “gene revolution with over $100 million of seed money since the 1970’s; CGIAR, the global network
created by the Rockefeller Foundation to promote its ideal of genetic purity through agriculture change.

CGIAR and ‘The Project’

As I detailled in the book, Seeds of Destruction, in 1960 the Rockefeller Foundation, John D. Rockefeller III’s
Agriculture Development Council and the Ford Foundation joined forces to create the International Rice Research
Institute (IRRI) in Los Baños, the Philippines.1 By 1971, the Rockefeller Foundation’s IRRI, along with their Mexico-
based International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center and two other Rockefeller and Ford Foundation-created
international research centers, the IITA for tropical agriculture, Nigeria, and IRRI for rice, Philippines, combined to
form a global Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR).

CGIAR was shaped at a series of private conferences held at the Rockefeller Foundation’s conference center in
Bellagio, Italy. Key participants at the Bellagio talks were the Rockefeller Foundation’s George Harrar, Ford Foundation’
s Forrest Hill, Robert McNamara of the World Bank and Maurice Strong, the Rockefeller family’s international
environmental organizer, who, as a Rockefeller Foundation Trustee, organized the UN Earth Summit in Stockholm in
1972. It was part of the foundation’s decades long focus to turn science to the service of eugenics, a hideous version
of racial purity, what has been called The Project.

To ensure maximum impact, CGIAR drew in the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, the UN Development
Program and the World Bank. Thus, through a carefully-planned leverage of its initial funds, the Rockefeller Foundation
by the beginning of the 1970’s was in a position to shape global agriculture policy. And shape it did.

Financed by generous Rockefeller and Ford Foundation study grants, CGIAR saw to it that leading Third World
agriculture scientists and agronomists were brought to the US to ‘master’ the concepts of modern agribusiness
production, in order to carry it back to their homeland. In the process they created an invaluable network of influence
for US agribusiness promotion in those countries, most especially promotion of the GMO ‘Gene Revolution’ in developing
countries, all in the name of science and efficient, free market agriculture.

Genetically engineering a master race?

Now the Svalbard Seed Bank begins to become interesting. But it gets better. ‘The Project’ I referred to is the
project of the Rockefeller Foundation and powerful financial interests since the 1920’s to use eugenics, later renamed
genetics, to justify creation of a genetically-engineered Master Race. Hitler and the Nazis called it the Ayran Master
Race.

The eugenics of Hitler were financed to a major extent by the same Rockefeller Foundation which today is building a
doomsday seed vault to preserve samples of every seed on our planet. Now this is getting really intriguing. The same
Rockefeller Foundation created the pseudo-science discipline of molecular biology in their relentless pursuit of reducing
human life down to the ‘defining gene sequence’ which, they hoped, could then be modified in order to change human
traits at will. Hitler’s eugenics scientists, many of whom were quietly brought to the United States after the War to
continue their biological eugenics research, laid much of the groundwork of genetic engineering of various life forms,
much of it supported openly until well into the Third Reich by Rockefeller Foundation generous grants.2

The same Rockefeller Foundation created the so-called Green Revolution, out of a trip to Mexico in 1946 by Nelson
Rockefeller and former New Deal Secretary of Agriculture and founder of the Pioneer Hi-Bred Seed Company, Henry
Wallace.

The Green Revolution purported to solve the world hunger problem to a major degree in Mexico, India and other select
countries where Rockefeller worked. Rockefeller Foundation agronomist, Norman Borlaug, won a Nobel Peace Prize for
his work, hardly something to boast about with the likes of Henry Kissinger sharing the same.

In reality, as it years later emerged, the Green Revolution was a brilliant Rockefeller family scheme to develop a
globalized agribusiness which they then could monopolize just as they had done in the world oil industry beginning a half
century before. As Henry Kissinger declared in the 1970’s, ‘If you control the oil you control the country; if you
control food, you control the population.’

Agribusiness and the Rockefeller Green Revolution went hand-in-hand. They were part of a grand strategy which
included Rockefeller Foundation financing of research for the development of genetic engineering of plants and animals a
few years later.

John H. Davis had been Assistant Agriculture Secretary under President Dwight Eisenhower in the early 1950’s. He
left Washington in 1955 and went to the Harvard Graduate School of Business, an unusual place for an agriculture
expert in those days. He had a clear strategy. In 1956, Davis wrote an article in the Harvard Business Review in
which he declared that “the only way to solve the so-called farm problem once and for all, and avoid cumbersome
government programs, is to progress from agriculture to agribusiness.” He knew precisely what he had in mind, though
few others had a clue back then--- a revolution in agriculture production that would concentrate control of the food
chain in corporate multinational hands, away from the traditional family farmer.3

A crucial aspect driving the interest of the Rockefeller Foundation and US agribusiness companies was the fact that
the Green Revolution was based on proliferation of new hybrid seeds in developing markets. One vital aspect of hybrid
seeds was their lack of reproductive capacity. Hybrids had a built in protection against multiplication. Unlike normal
open pollinated species whose seed gave yields similar to its parents, the yield of the seed borne by hybrid plants was
significantly lower than that of the first generation.

That declining yield characteristic of hybrids meant farmers must normally buy seed every year in order to obtain high
yields. Moreover, the lower yield of the second generation eliminated the trade in seed that was often done by seed
producers without the breeder’s authorization. It prevented the redistribution of the commercial crop seed by
middlemen. If the large multinational seed

companies were able to control the parental seed lines in house, no competitor or farmer would be able to produce the
hybrid. The global concentration of hybrid seed patents into a handful of giant seed companies, led by DuPont’s Pioneer
Hi-Bred and Monsanto’s Dekalb laid the ground for the later GMO seed revolution.4

In effect, the introduction of modern American agricultural technology, chemical fertilizers and commercial hybrid seeds
all made local farmers in developing countries, particularly the larger more established ones, dependent on foreign,
mostly US agribusiness and petro-chemical company inputs. It was a first step in what was to be a decades-long,
carefully planned process.

Under the Green Revolution Agribusiness was making major inroads into markets which were previously of limited access
to US exporters. The trend was later dubbed “market-oriented agriculture.” In reality it was agribusiness-controlled
agriculture.

Through the Green Revolution, the Rockefeller Foundation and later Ford Foundation worked hand-in-hand shaping and
supporting the foreign policy goals of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and of the
CIA.

One major effect of the Green Revolution was to depopulate the countryside of peasants who were forced to flee into
shantytown slums around the cities in desperate search for work. That was no accident; it was part of the plan to
create cheap labor pools for forthcoming US multinational manufactures, the ‘globalization’ of recent years.

When the self-promotion around the Green Revolution died down, the results were quite different from what had been
promised. Problems had arisen from indiscriminate use of the new chemical pesticides, often with serious health
consequences. The mono-culture cultivation of new hybrid seed varieties decreased soil fertility and yields over time.
The first results were impressive: double or even triple yields for some crops such as wheat and later corn in Mexico.
That soon faded.

The Green Revolution was typically accompanied by large irrigation projects which often included World Bank loans to
construct huge new dams, and flood previously settled areas and fertile farmland in the process. Also, super-wheat
produced greater yields by saturating the soil with huge amounts of fertilizer per acre, the fertilizer being the
product of nitrates and petroleum, commodities controlled by the Rockefeller-dominated Seven Sisters major oil
companies.

Huge quantities of herbicides and pesticides were also used, creating additional markets for the oil and chemical giants.
As one analyst put it, in effect, the Green Revolution was merely a chemical revolution. At no point could developing
nations pay for the huge amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. They would get the credit courtesy of the
World Bank and special loans by Chase Bank and other large New York banks, backed by US Government guarantees.

Applied in a large number of developing countries, those loans went mostly to the large landowners. For the smaller
peasants the situation worked differently. Small peasant farmers could not afford the chemical and other modern
inputs and had to borrow money.

Initially various government programs tried to provide some loans to farmers so that they could purchase seeds and
fertilizers. Farmers who could not participate in this kind of program had to borrow from the private sector. Because
of the exorbitant interest rates for informal loans, many small farmers did not even get the benefits of the initial
higher yields. After harvest, they had to sell most if not all of their produce to pay off loans and interest. They
became dependent on money-lenders and traders and often lost their land. Even with soft loans from government
agencies, growing subsistence crops gave way to the production of cash crops.5

Since decades the same interests including the Rockefeller Foundation which backed the initial Green Revolution, have
worked to promote a second ‘Gene Revolution’ as Rockefeller Foundation President Gordon Conway termed it several
years ago, the spread of industrial agriculture and commercial inputs including GMO patented seeds.

Gates, Rockefeller and a Green Revolution in Africa

With the true background of the 1950’s Rockefeller Foundation Green Revolution clear in mind, it becomes especially
curious that the same Rockefeller Foundation along with the Gates Foundation which are now investing millions of dollars
in preserving every seed against a possible “doomsday” scenario are also investing millions in a project called The
Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.

AGRA, as it calls itself, is an alliance again with the same Rockefeller Foundation which created the “Gene Revolution.”
A look at the AGRA Board of Directors confirms this.

It includes none other than former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan as chairman. In his acceptance speech in a World
Economic Forum event in Cape Town South Africa in June 2007, Kofi Annan stated, ‘I accept this challenge with
gratitude to the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and all others who support our African
campaign.’

In addition the AGRA board numbers a South African, Strive Masiyiwa who is a Trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation.
It includes Sylvia M. Mathews of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Mamphela Ramphele, former Managing Director
of the World Bank (2000 – 2006); Rajiv J. Shah of the Gates Foundation; Nadya K. Shmavonian of the Rockefeller
Foundation; Roy Steiner of the Gates Foundation. In addition, an Alliance for AGRA includes Gary Toenniessen the
Managing Director of the Rockefeller Foundation and Akinwumi Adesina, Associate Director, Rockefeller Foundation.

To fill out the lineup, the Programmes for AGRA includes Peter Matlon, Managing Director, Rockefeller Foundation;
Joseph De Vries, Director of the Programme for Africa’s Seed Systems and Associate Director, Rockefeller
foundation; Akinwumi Adesina, Associate Director, Rockefeller Foundation. Like the old failed Green Revolution in India
and Mexico, the new Africa Green Revolution is clearly a high priority of the Rockefeller Foundation.

While to date they are keeping a low profile, Monsanto and the major GMO agribusiness giants are believed at the
heart of using Kofi Annan’s AGRA to spread their patented GMO seeds across Africa under the deceptive label, ‘bio-
technology,’ the new euphemism for genetically engineered patented seeds. To date South Africa is the only African
country permitting legal planting of GMO crops. In 2003 Burkina Faso authorized GMO trials. In 2005 Kofi Annan’s
Ghana drafted bio-safety legislation and key officials expressed their intentions to pursue research into GMO crops.

Africa is the next target in the US-government campaign to spread GMO worldwide. Its rich soils make it an ideal
candidate. Not surprisingly many African governments suspect the worst from the GMO sponsors as a multitude of
genetic engineering and biosafety projects have been initiated in Africa, with the aim of introducing GMOs into Africa’s
agricultural systems. These include sponsorships offered by the US government to train African scientists in genetic
engineering in the US, biosafety projects funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
and the World Bank; GMO research involving African indigenous food crops.

The Rockefeller Foundation has been working for years to promote, largely without success, projects to introduce
GMOs into the fields of Africa. They have backed research that supports the applicability of GMO cotton in the
Makhathini Flats in South Africa.

Monsanto, who has a strong foothold in South Africa’s seed industry, both GMO and hybrid, has conceived of an
ingenious smallholders’ programme known as the ‘Seeds of Hope’ Campaign, which is introducing a green revolution
package to small scale poor farmers, followed, of course, by Monsanto’s patented GMO seeds. 6

Syngenta AG of Switzerland, one of the ‘Four Horsemen of the GMO Apocalypse’ is pouring millions of dollars into a
new greenhouse facility in Nairobi, to develop GMO insect resistant maize. Syngenta is a part of CGIAR as well.7

Move on to Svalbard

Now is it simply philosophical sloppiness? What leads the Gates and Rockefeller foundations to at one and the same
time to back proliferation of patented and soon-to-be Terminator patented seeds across Africa, a process which, as it
has in every other place on earth, destroys the plant seed varieties as monoculture industrialized agribusiness is
introduced? At the same time they invest tens of millions of dollars to preserve every seed variety known in a bomb-
proof doomsday vault near the remote Arctic Circle ‘so that crop diversity can be conserved for the future’ to restate
their official release?

It is no accident that the Rockefeller and Gates foundations are teaming up to push a GMO-style Green Revolution in
Africa at the same time they are quietly financing the ‘doomsday seed vault’ on Svalbard. The GMO agribusiness giants
are up to their ears in the Svalbard project.

Indeed, the entire Svalbard enterprise and the people involved call up the worst catastrophe images of the Michael
Crichton bestseller, Andromeda Strain, a sci-fi thriller where a deadly disease of extraterrestrial origin causes rapid,
fatal clotting of the blood threatening the entire human species. In Svalbard, the future world’s most secure seed
repository will be guarded by the policemen of the GMO Green Revolution--the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations,
Syngenta, DuPont and CGIAR.

The Svalbard project will be run by an organization called the Global Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT). Who are they to
hold such an awesome trust over the planet’s entire seed varieties? The GCDT was founded by the United Nations Food
and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and Bioversity International (formerly the International Plant Genetic Research
Institute), an offshoot of the CGIAR.

The Global Crop Diversity Trust is based in Rome. Its Board is chaired by Margaret Catley-Carlson a Canadian also on
the advisory board of Group Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux, one of the world’s largest private water companies. Catley-
Carlson was also president until 1998 of the New York-based Population Council, John D. Rockefeller’s population
reduction organization, set up in 1952 to advance the Rockefeller family’s eugenics program under the cover of
promoting “family planning,” birth control devices, sterilization and “population control” in developing countries.

Other GCDT board members include former Bank of America executive presently head of the Hollywood DreamWorks
Animation, Lewis Coleman. Coleman is also the lead Board Director of Northrup Grumman Corporation, one of America’s
largest military industry Pentagon contractors.

Jorio Dauster (Brazil) is also Board Chairman of Brasil Ecodiesel. He is a former Ambassador of Brazil to the European
Union, and Chief Negotiator of Brazil’s foreign debt for the Ministry of Finance. Dauster has also served as President
of the Brazilian Coffee Institute and as Coordinator of the Project for the Modernization of Brazil’s Patent System,
which involves legalizing patents on seeds which are genetically modified, something until recently forbidden by Brazil’s
laws.

Cary Fowler is the Trust’s Executive Director. Fowler was Professor and Director of Research in the Department for
International Environment & Development Studies at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. He was also a Senior
Advisor to the Director General of Bioversity International. There he represented the Future Harvest Centres of the
Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in negotiations on the International Treaty on Plant
Genetic Resources. In the 1990s, he headed the International Program on Plant Genetic Resources at the FAO. He
drafted and supervised negotiations of FAO’s Global Plan of Action for Plant Genetic Resources, adopted by 150
countries in 1996. He is a past-member of the National Plant Genetic Resources Board of the US and the Board of
Trustees of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico, another Rockefeller Foundation and
CGIAR project.

GCDT board member Dr. Mangala Rai of India is the Secretary of India’s Department of Agricultural Research and
Education (DARE), and Director General of the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR). He is also a Board
Member of the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), which promoted the world’s first
major GMO experiment, the much-hyped ‘Golden Rice’ which proved a failure. Rai has served as Board Member for
CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center), and a Member of the Executive Council of the CGIAR.

Global Crop Diversity Trust Donors or financial angels include as well, in the words of the Humphrey Bogart Casablanca
classic, ‘all the usual suspects.’ As well as the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations, the Donors include GMO giants
DuPont-Pioneer Hi-Bred, Syngenta of Basle Switzerland, CGIAR and the State Department’s energetically pro-GMO
agency for development aid, USAID. Indeed it seems we have the GMO and population reduction foxes guarding the
hen-house of mankind, the global seed diversity store in Svalbard. 8

Why now Svalbard?

We can legitimately ask why Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation along with the major genetic engineering
agribusiness giants such as DuPont and Syngenta, along with CGIAR are building the Doomsday Seed Vault in the Arctic.

Who uses such a seed bank in the first place? Plant breeders and researchers are the major users of gene banks.
Today’s largest plant breeders are Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta and Dow Chemical, the global plant-patenting GMO
giants. Since early in 2007 Monsanto holds world patent rights together with the United States Government for plant
so-called ‘Terminator’ or Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT). Terminator is an ominous technology by which a
patented commercial seed commits ‘suicide’ after one harvest. Control by private seed companies is total. Such control
and power over the food chain has never before in the history of mankind existed.

This clever genetically engineered terminator trait forces farmers to return every year to Monsanto or other GMO
seed suppliers to get new seeds for rice, soybeans, corn, wheat whatever major crops they need to feed their
population. If broadly introduced around the world, it could within perhaps a decade or so make the world’s majority of
food producers new feudal serfs in bondage to three or four giant seed companies such as Monsanto or DuPont or Dow
Chemical.

That, of course, could also open the door to have those private companies, perhaps under orders from their host
government, Washington, deny seeds to one or another developing country whose politics happened to go against
Washington’s. Those who say ‘It can’t happen here’ should look more closely at current global events. The mere
existence of that concentration of power in three or four private US-based agribusiness giants is grounds for legally
banning all GMO crops even were their harvest gains real, which they manifestly are not.

These private companies, Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical hardly have an unsullied record in terms of stewardship of
human life. They developed and proliferated such innovations as dioxin, PCBs, Agent Orange. They covered up for
decades clear evidence of carcinogenic and other severe human health consequences of use of the toxic chemicals. They
have buried serious scientific reports that the world’s most widespread herbicide, glyphosate, the essential ingredient
in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide that is tied to purchase of most Monsanto genetically engineered seeds, is toxic when

The diversity stored in seed gene banks is the raw material for plant breeding and for a great deal of basic biological
research. Several hundred thousand samples are distributed annually for such purposes. The UN’s FAO lists some 1400
seed banks around the world, the largest being held by the United States Government. Other large banks are held by
China, Russia, Japan, India, South Korea, Germany and Canada in descending order of size. In addition, CGIAR
operates a chain of seed banks in select centers around the world.

CGIAR, set up in 1972 by the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation to spread their Green Revolution agribusiness
model, controls most of the private seed banks from the Philippines to Syria to Kenya. In all these present seed banks
hold more than six and a half million seed varieties, almost two million of which are ‘distinct.’ Svalbard’s Doomsday Vault
will have a capacity to house four and a half million different seeds.

GMO as a weapon of biowarfare?

Now we come to the heart of the danger and the potential for misuse inherent in the Svalbard project of Bill Gates
and the Rockefeller foundation. Can the development of patented seeds for most of the world’s major sustenance crops
such as rice, corn, wheat, and feed grains such as soybeans ultimately be used in a horrible form of biological warfare?

The explicit aim of the eugenics lobby funded by wealthy elite families such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Harriman and
others since the 1920’s, has embodied what they termed ‘negative eugenics,’ the systematic killing off of undesired
bloodlines. Margaret Sanger, a rapid eugenicist, the founder of Planned Parenthood International and an intimate of
the Rockefeller family, created something called The Negro Project in 1939, based in Harlem, which as she confided in
a letter to a friend, was all about the fact that, as she put it, ‘we want to exterminate the Negro population.’ 11

A small California biotech company, Epicyte, in 2001 announced the development of genetically engineered corn which
contained a spermicide which made the semen of men who ate it sterile. At the time Epicyte had a joint venture
agreement to spread its technology with DuPont and Syngenta, two of the sponsors of the Svalbard Doomsday Seed
Vault. Epicyte was since acquired by a North Carolina biotech company. Astonishing to learn was that Epicyte had
developed its spermicidal GMO corn with research funds from the US Department of Agriculture, the same USDA
which, despite worldwide opposition, continued to finance the development of Terminator technology, now held by
Monsanto.

In the 1990’s the UN’s World Health Organization launched a campaign to vaccinate millions of women in Nicaragua,
Mexico and the Philippines between the ages of 15 and 45, allegedly against Tentanus, a sickness arising from such
things as stepping on a rusty nail. The vaccine was not given to men or boys, despite the fact they are presumably
equally liable to step on rusty nails as women.

Because of that curious anomaly, Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman Catholic lay organization became suspicious and
had vaccine samples tested. The tests revealed that the Tetanus vaccine being spread by the WHO only to women of
child-bearing age contained human Chorionic Gonadotrophin or hCG, a natural hormone which when combined with a
tetanus toxoid carrier stimulated antibodies rendering a woman incapable of maintaining a pregnancy. None of the
women vaccinated were told.

It later came out that the Rockefeller Foundation along with the Rockefeller’s Population Council, the World Bank (home
to CGIAR), and the United States’ National Institutes of Health had been involved in a 20-year-long project begun in
1972 to develop the concealed abortion vaccine with a tetanus carrier for WHO. In addition, the Government of
Norway, the host to the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault, donated $41 million to develop the special abortive Tetanus
vaccine. 12

Is it a coincidence that these same organizations, from Norway to the Rockefeller Foundation to the World Bank are
also involved in the Svalbard seed bank project? According to Prof. Francis Boyle who drafted the Biological Weapons
Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 enacted by the US Congress, the Pentagon is ‘now gearing up to fight and win biological
warfare’ as part of two Bush national strategy directives adopted, he notes, ‘without public knowledge and review’ in
2002. Boyle adds that in 2001-2004 alone the US Federal Government spent $14.5 billion for civilian bio-warfare-
related work, a staggering sum.

Rutgers University biologist Richard Ebright estimates that over 300 scientific institutions and some 12,000 individuals
in the USA today have access to pathogens suitable for biowarfare. Alone there are 497 US Government NIH grants
for research into infectious diseases with biowarfare potential. Of course this is being justified under the rubric of
defending against possible terror attack as so much is today.

Many of the US Government dollars spent on biowarfare research involve genetic engineering. MIT biology professor
Jonathan King says that the ‘growing bio-terror programs represent a significant emerging danger to our own
population.’ King adds, ‘while such programs are always called defensive, with biological weapons, defensive and
offensive programs overlap almost completely.’ 13

Time will tell whether, God Forbid, the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Bank of Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation is
part of another Final Solution, this involving the extinction of the Late, Great Planet Earth.
