Summary: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is imposing Western agricultural monopolies on Africans; but more Africans (not yet tainted by so-called 'charitable grants') speak out against it, seeing the patent (monopoly) agenda and negative health implications/ramifications

THE same reader who pointed out to us this new article about the Gates Foundation looking to profit (a lot) from COVID-19 through patents also highlighted to us this recent press release about GMO monopolies being promoted in Africa by the Gates Foundation, which had spent many years greasing up African politicians and infiltrating key NGOs that control policy, communications etc.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded another $10 million last week to the controversial Cornell Alliance for Science, a communications campaign housed at Cornell that trains fellows in Africa and elsewhere to promote and defend genetically engineered foods, crops and agrichemicals. The new grant brings BMGF grants to the group to $22 million.

The PR investment comes at a time when the Gates Foundation is under fire for spending billions of dollars on agricultural development schemes in Africa that critics say are entrenching farming methods that benefit corporations over people.

For the uninitiated we thought we'd add the video below, first published here a decade or so ago. ⬆
