With all the stories about the corona virus (please, no more!), there’s an odd story by F. William Engdahl that was spotted by M.W., and it’s definitely worth passing along, together with my high octane speculation of the day. For those who’ve been regular readers here for a while, you know that Mr. Engdahl is one of my favorite researchers in this alternative research field. One may not always agree with him, but he is always provocative and usually over the target, as he is today. Consider the following story:

What’s Going On With the Arctic ‘Doomsday’ Seed Vault?

In order to set my question into the proper context, consider only the backers of the seed vault project:

The seed bank and acquisition of the seeds is managed by an entity known as the Crop Trust, officially known as the Global Crop Diversity Trust, now based in Bonn, Germany. On its website Crop Trust makes the modest claim that their “sole mission is to ensure humanity conserves and makes available the world’s crop diversity for future food security.”

It has an impressive list of financial sponsors which it calls the Donors’ Council. Among the most eye-catching they name Bayer Crop Science, which now incorporates Monsanto; DuPont Pioneer Hi-Bred; Syngenta AG, now owned by ChemChina. These are the world’s largest purveyors of GMO patented seeds and the paired agrichemicals such as Roundup with glyphosate. China’s now state-owned Syngenta is the world’s largest supplier of crop chemicals.

In addition, Crop Trust Donors include the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the major donor to initiate the Trust in 2004 with the FAO, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and CGIAR, acting through Bioversity International.

Gates Foundation is joined at Crop Trust by the Rockefeller Foundation, the ones who first financed the creation of GMO biotechnology beginning in the 1970’s at their International Rice Research Institute, where they spent millions trying to develop the colossal failure called Vitamin A-enhanced Golden Rice. 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 has a capacity to house four and a half million different seeds.

Now, besides the usual round-up of billionaire busybodies like Rockefailure and Gates, note that there is a whole bevy of the usual corporations associated with “agri-business” and the GMO seed business, which we like to describe less-than-affectionately as “I.G. Farbensanto,” given the merger between a former component of I.G. Farben – Bayer – and Mon(ster)santo (a corporation whose reputation is too well known to rehearse again) has found in its buyout by Bayer a home with another corporation which shares its “philosophy”. We’ll get back to that “bevy” of corporations behind the seed vault in a little while.
