Product Description This skillfully researched book focuses on how a small socio-political American elite seeks to establish its control over the very basis of human survival, the provision of our daily bread. Control the food and you control the people. This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms. The author reveals a World of profit-driven political intrigue, government corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain worldwide control over food production. The book is an eye-opener, a must-read for all those committed to the causes of social justice and World peace. | ||

Probably a ploy to get you to buy more jeans you soil while reading this Anybody ever heard of Normon Borlaug? He single-handedly saved over one billion people... yes, that's billion with a big-ass B, using GM crops. And until we find a way to get Iowans to travel to China to make irrigation ditches, till the soil and plant corn, or get Nebraskans to monitor the pH and moisture in the ground in India where they're growing the potatoes to save the lives of starving third-world inhabitants, I'll enjoy my golden rice. | ||
These books are very important. I've been so busy reading everything I can get my hands on about this GMO topic. From authors who are all for it like Jennifer Thomson in her "Seeds for the Future", to Jeffrey M. Smith in his "Seeds of Deception". If I was into burning books Jennifer's would be the one to go up in flames. What a bunch of hogwash. That these so called Scientist think it is a lark to let us all be fed this GMO swill as their little test cases makes me very angry. That the FDA let them do it makes me very angry. Breathe. Find inner calm. Okay. Thank you to authors like F. William Engdahl, who think we are smart enough to take the truth and hopefully strong enough to do something with it when it is brought to our attention. Shame on anyone who sits on this information. | ||
A Must Read This book lays out the facts, backed up by the relevant documents, behind the current effort to control the food supply of the planet by the agribusiness giants, working hand in hand with the governments of North America and others. That the plan to control the populations and genetics of the human population was financed by the same foundations that financed Hitler's eugenics program is just one small detail. But it is a decisive one in establishing the roots and goals of this effort at world domination using control over food and genes, instead of atomic bombs, which, says one source, are much more expensive. If everyone read this book, we would all be on the streets, heading for the seats of power to overthrow them, if we still had any courage that is. However, the same powers that have launched this "genetic armageddon" have also arranged to make our lives so soft and easy that we have all lost our courage, self confidence, and the ability to organize and act. It will be interesting to see what happens next. | ||
What you should know about the world food supply. I believe that everyone who eats should read this book to learn about what is going on with the world's food supply. I thought the writing style was a little less than perfect but the content was worth it. The author has done a good job of documenting his sources and it falls in line with a lot of other information I have read about what is going on politically with our food. Incredible as it seems - under the guise of helping people - the large multinational corporations are really narrowing our food choices down to the products they sell (these crops also happen to need their petrochemicals). Pretty remarkable and disturbing...find out what is being done to the seeds themselves and consider the motives behind it. The big 'M' has purchased over 50 seed companies around the world in the last decade. We are not just talking corn and soybeans. We all need to rethink our priorities in terms of what we eat and where it comes from. If you want the motivation to do that - give this book a read. Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few.' ~Percy Bysshe Shelley | ||
seeds of destruction. A very sobering and revealing book that reveals to me how little we know of what the mega companys and governments are getting up to. Money buys nearly everything and the quest for it knows no boundaries. | ||
