Gates Foundation Expands to Africa to Profit From the World's Poorest

Monsanto Gates Foundation



Summary: The notorious GMO ventures of the world's richest robber baron expand with the establishment of a new strategic outpost in Nigeria

Gates must be really desperate for more money. 7 billion dollars in gained wealth last year isn't enough, he wants even more. Who to rob next? How about Africa? We wrote about this topic since the previous decade and covered some evidence highlighting how it's all arranged. See for instance:





In a PR and grooming piece for Renee Kaufer from the Gates Foundation it is being revealed that "since December as our Africa offices are only now opening."

"We are seeing the (re)occupation of Africa, but the corporate press does almost nothing to highlight these simple facts."We warned about this last month and now it goes forward, promoting GMO (which Gates invests in). To quote: "The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation plans to establish a biotechnology lab in Nigeria which will help improve the countries biotechnology capacity for crop improvement. This was revealed by Professor Ivan Ingelbrecht of Ghent University, Belgium, who visited the country on behalf of the Gates Foundation and met with the Nigerian Minister of Science and Technology, Professor Ita Okon Bassey Ewa."

They are very careful not to say "GMO", but it's obvious based on the context. Well, it's all about return for investment, or simply a case of profiteering (Gates is hiring VCs for key role along with PR people, trying to exploit women's rights for sentimental blackmail). Remember that this foundation also has peripheral PR agencies (not just Waggener Edstrom), which generate spin and control the press, panels, etc. (Gates has already bribed the largest African news site and taken groups like AGRA into his control through moles). Quietly but surely it is getting worse for African farmers, who will be indebted to some monopoly based in another continent (Monsanto). We are seeing the (re)occupation of Africa, but the corporate press does almost nothing to highlight these simple facts.
