Seed Revolution- STOP the World Bank Sowing Seed-Colonialism in Africa

From thefreeonline on 12 July 2024 info via off-guardian. via stuartbramhall (on Telegram: https://t.me/thefreeonline)

A law was passed in 2012 that prohibits farmers’ rights to save, share, exchange or sell unregistered seeds. Farmers could face up to two years in prison and a fine of up to 1 million Kenyan shillings (equivalent to nearly four years’ wages for a farmer).

However, in 2022, Kenyan smallholder farmers launched a legal case against the government calling for reform of the 2012 seed law to stop criminalising them for sharing seeds. There is a hearing scheduled for 24 July 2024.

Agroecologist and environmentalist Claire Nasike Akello says that, in legal terms, the sharing and selling of indigenous seeds is a criminal offence in Kenya. In effect, Kenya’s Seed and Plant Varieties Act demolishes self-sufficiency among smallholder farmers who use indigenous seeds to grow food.

Writing on her website, she says that the legislation seeks to create a dependency on multinational companies by smallholder farmers for seeds thus giving an upper hand to these firms that continue to steal biological resources from local communities with a profit-driven mindset.

It is, in effect:

“A move designed to impoverish smallholder farmers and lock them out of farming.”

Gates, Rockefeller and big agribusiness

The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) initiative, funded by the Gates and Rockefeller Foundations, has been intervening directly in the formulation of African governments’ agricultural policies on issues like seeds and land, opening up African markets to US agribusiness.

Around 80% of Africa’s seed supply comes from millions of small-scale farmers recycling and exchanging seed from year to year. But AGRA is supporting the introduction of commercial (chemical-dependent) seed systems, enabling a few large companies to control seed research and development, production and distribution.

War on Farmers: World Bank Sowing Seed-Colonialism in Africa

Residents flee Gaza City as Israel repeats failed blitz and vows to continue Genocide despite Hamas Concessions and Mass Protests

11 Jul 20249 Jul 2024 from thefreeonline

Israeli tanks have pressed into the heart of Gaza City as its military ordered the residents out after massive bombardment in areas it said had been largely cleared months ago.

Terrified families’ as Israel ordered Gaza City evacuation yet again after nightime blitz

‘Just started running’

Two families’ desperation as Israel ordered Gaza City evacuation

Two women send desperate messages from Gaza City, detailing the panicked rush for safety as Israel attacked.

“I started trying to call my husband to tell him what happened, to no avail,” Rima told Al Jazeera over phone messages.

Not knowing what was going to happen, she grabbed her children and a few belongings she could find and “just started running towards the north of the city”.

Rima’s mother, who is unwell and cannot move on her own, could not leave with her because she had to wait till her sons could source a wheelchair for her.

Gaza City residents ordered by Israel’s army to move to central Deir el-Balah, which the UN says is ‘already overcrowded’ with displaced Palestinians.

At least 50 killed in new Israeli attacks as Gaza City fighting rages

Israeli forces ramped up attacks on areas across the northern Gaza Strip despite new ceasefire discussions taking place.

At least 50 people were killed in the latest 24-hour reporting period and dozens wounded in strikes throughout the besieged coastal enclave, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said on Tuesday.

World War 3? Ist nuclear-capable US F-16 Jets on way to Ukraine now! Putin repeats they must be destroyed EVEN IN NATO States

The first F-16 fighter jets are on their way from the Netherlands and Denmark to Ukraine now!! – U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced during the NATO War Summit !

from thefreeonline on 11th July ’24 via TalesFromTheConspiratum.… ( on Telegram: t.me/thefreeonline )

Putin explained Russia’s ‘WW3-RedLine’ from the start. The US and proxies happily ignored it.

Putin explained that the US is right now delivering new Nuclear B61-12 bombs to half a dozen NATO countries on Russia’s ‘doorstep’. How this is worse for Russia than the Cuban Missile Crisis was for the USA..

Putin has also explained how the US has torn up Nuclear Control Treaties, has adopted a FIRST STRIKE DECAPITATION agenda, has attacked Russian Nuclear Missile Tracking Stations via its Ukraine proxy… and now gifts nuclear capable jets, now due to arrive as the macho Generals in Washington cheer and party.

Russia has patiently explained how they entered Ukraine because NATO has expanded to have Nuclear Obliteration just a few minutes from Moscow.

How the US war economy pays off and controls its political puppets and billionaires who are assured that Putin must back down, and if not that they (and only they) will survive Armageddon after a ’40 year party in their luxury bunkers’.

Michael Beckerman @MMBeckerman Follow This is actually worse than the Cuban Missile Crisis. We are literally moments away from WWIII here at any time. People don’t actually realize just how bad this situation actually is. It’s bad – VERY bad. 8:31 PM · Jul 10, 2024

The newly upgraded B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb

**The ‘Doctor Strangeloves’ in the Pentagon have set up a Nuclear Chicken confrontation with Russia, in the style of schoolyard bullies, with the fate of us all in the balance.**

The US has ended up betting on Russia backing down and losing the War, so they can happily carve up Ukraine and go on to loot and dismember Russia itself.

NATO proxies incredibly go along with war on Russia, but the majority of the world has more common sense.

Fed up with the US attacking friends and enemies with Sanctions and bullying, most of the Planet by now supports a more equitable multilateral system, BRICS and plans to drop the US dollar hegemony.

US gives no response to Russia’s proposal to return nuclear weapons to its soil – MFA see also.. 750 US military bases remain around the planet …

So will Nuclear War break out when Russia targets F-16 Jets even when stationed in NATO States outside Ukraine?

The F-16 Hunt is about to begin, with medals and large bonuses on offer!

Apart from the Nuclear threat the old F-16s, though backed with NATO’s satellite and integrated war systems, are perhaps just the latest ‘Wonder Weapon’ hyped up to keep the Arms bonanza rolling.

The German Leopard Tanks, for example which were supposed to win the war for Ukraine have all but disappeared in the famous Leopard Hunt as Russian soldiers gained large prizes for eliminating them .

Ukraine loses 16 US-made armored vehicles, group says,

The same goes for the US Abrams and British Challengers with Russia finding ways to counter the best NATO weapons and missiles on offer so far, even the deadly ATACMS and other missiles are often blocked with electronic warfare.

It will take some time, months hopefully, for the Nuclear capable jets and more Patriot systems to be deployed.

WONDER WEAPONS +**+ WUNDERWAFFEN

It remains to be seen whether Russia, backed by a world majority, can find some way of countering even this escalation and preventing a Nuclear War.

It seems certain however that Putin will not back down.

As he remarks “without Russia we don’t need a planet”.
