In Part 1 we explored the ongoing process of defining of the global commons and the claim of the stakeholder capitalists they they should be the “trustees” both of the commons and society. We are now going to look at how systems have been established to enable those stakeholders to seize them.
We should be mindful of what “global commons” means for the Global Public Private Partnership (GPPP). For them it means possession of everything: every resource on the planet, all land, all water, the air we breath and the natural world in its entirety, including all of us.
Mother Earth is self-organised. Mother Earth has created and sustained Diversity.
The web of life is a web of diversity woven through the flow of Nutrition.
20 Oct 2021 – Colonialism transformed Mother Earth, Vasundhara, Pachmama , Terra Madre, into Terra Nullius, the empty earth. Our living, bountiful earth, rich in Biodiversity and Cultural Diversity was reduced to an empty earth.
People of the colonised lands were denied their humanity to justify the appropriation of the their lands, their homes, their resources. The Biodiversity of the earth disappeared in the minds of men who reduced the earth to private property to be owned, and raw material to be extracted.
The colonial Monoculture of the Mind separated people from the land, forests from farms, seed from food, food from biodiversity, health and nutrition in order to maximise profits through extractivism.
People of colonised cultures and the biodiversity of plants and animals were objectified, enslaved and transformed into the property to be owned.
The colonial industrial paradigm could not tolerate diversity and self organisation and redefined “wild” as place or region uninhabited and uncultivated by humans.
This is clearly a flawed definition. The places and ecosystems recognised as “wild” today are where indigenous people protect nature, the land and biodiversity.
“We’ve taken a giant step forward to further accelerate our path out of the pandemic,” President Biden said Wednesday at the White House. “For parents all over this country, this is a day of relief and celebration.” as medical providers began inoculating children ages 5 to 11 with the COVID-19 shot across the country.
But the vaccine is the same experimental one that has killed an estimated 1,538,600* US citizens and survivors are already fast losing any protection from Covid, leaving most with crippled immune systems, dependent on constant boosters or open to deadly diseases (*15,386 deaths reported by VAERS who say this could be 1% real estimated figures = X 100 = 1,538,600 of us potentially killed)
VAERS OWN DATA SAYS FEWER THAN 1% ADVERSE EVENTS EVER REPORTED
“We know millions of parents are eager to get their children vaccinated and with this decision, we now have recommended that about 28 million children receive a COVID-19 vaccine,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said.
But after taking the vaccine children lose their innate Natural Immunity which is replaced by a partial and very temporary one.
According to CDC data (PDF), since the pandemic began, at least 94 children aged five to 11 (out of 28,000,000) have died from COVID-19.
However, as with adults, most of the dead had serious co-morbidities which may really have killed them, especially as the PCR test for Covid (finally due for abolition in Dec 2021) gave up to half false positives in the first year and many cases have no symptoms. The real death rate for Covid for small children is statistically zero, and they are more likely to be killed by a cow.
The Biden administration has promised enough doses to protect for at least 6 months the nation’s 28 million children aged five to 11, though thousands may die from adverse reactions.
«Indigenous peoples are on the frontline of the climate emergency and we must be at the center of the decisions happening here. We have ideas for postponing the end of the world.»
Txai Suruí added that the schedules announced at the COP-26 negotiating table by government officials for reducing carbon emissions and decreasing the use of fossil fuels were totally inadequate.
«We are going to curb the emissions of lying and irresponsible promises, we are going to end the pollution of empty promises and we are going to fight for a livable future and present.
It’s not in 2030 or 2050,» she emphasized, «It’s now.»

As deforestation and climate change ravage India’s UNESCO heritage-listed Western Ghats mountain range, an all-female rainforest force is battling to protect one of the area’s last enclaves of biodiversity.
The region is home to at least 325 globally threatened flora, fauna, bird, amphibian, reptile and fish species but the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has ranked its outlook as a “significant concern”.
Dressed in big boots – to protect against cobras and insects – and brightly coloured tunics, their hair tied under scarves, the women put in long days in the forests, the sanctuary’s greenhouses and its nursery. They replant the suffering flora, sift compost and seeds and make a malodorous natural pesticide from cow urine. [Manjunath Kiran/AFP]
At Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary, a group of 27 women act as guardians of the rare ferns, tree-hugging mosses and thousands of other plants that may otherwise be lost forever.
“We are trying to salvage what is possible. It is like a refugee camp,” said Suprabha Seshan, one of the curators at the reserve.

Fighting off bloodsucking leeches that thrive in the humidity, the rainforest gardeners tend to a multitude of endangered ferns, flowers and herbs that grow around the rocks and in the shade of tropical trees.

It is also like a hospital. “The intensive care unit is in the pots and when you take them out that’s like the general ward where they get other forms of primary healthcare,” Seshan added.
