Globalization (small)

While the population is exponentially exploding, the earth housing them is exponentially shrinking.

It is as easy to travel and communicate across the globe today

as it was across the neighborhood a century ago.
This opens the doors up wide to globalization and forces everyone to play the same game.

Instead of giving the weak and poor players an advantage to make the game more fair and meaningful, the playing field is leveled ensuring that the strong and wealthy players become unbeatable.

Money, the measure of value of the goods and services traded, has turned into a rubber band measuring tape that can be and is stretched and shrunk by greedy speculators seeking short term profits. This causes great long term suffering and sickening hardships.

To ease the sufferings and temporarily cover up illnesses, pharma industry churns out pills for all ills to those who could afford them.

The media has become the message and its deafening message is to consume.

Those few who control the media have hijacked values and brainwashed people into satisfying their short term addictive wants ahead of their long term needs.

When the criminal sectors who specialize in dealing with drugs, arms and slaves are globalized, they easily recruit the desperate poor to do the dirty work for them and hire politicians to cover up all that dirt.

They then use greedy banksters to launder their dirty money clean of any traces of stains.

Visions have become impaired by shortsightedness and blinded by brilliant flashes of seductive images.

Companies pursue goals that are unsustainable and grow until they are “too big to fail or jail”.

They end up being corporate welfare cases supported and subsidized by the poor masses.

Biotechnology dressed up as green and gene revolutionaries promise to save hungry people from starvation.

Like the communists and the global capitalists, they are corrupt at heart as their sole interest is accumulating wealth for themselves. The scientists and the politicians representing them are easily bought and mislead. Instead of feeding an overpopulated world, they are killing the soil and enslaving the people into a dependence on the food they process.

They enrich the impoverished foods with chemicals and color and package them in expensive attractive boxes to make them look fresh.

Then they transport the foods thousands of kilometers in polluting trucks

to the shops and supermarkets for the gullible hungry masses who line up like sheep to buy them.

Most innovations in food biotechnology are "profit" driven rather than "need" driven. Agro-industry ruins the soil, perpetuates social injustice and endangers the ecological balance in our environment.

Depleted soils are infused with chemical fertilizers and monocultures are sprayed with ever increasing and ever powerful poisons.

This practice favors large corporate farms who could afford this expensive technology and forces most of the traditional single-family farmers to abandon their lands. Plants are genetically modified to be resistant to a specific toxin which kills all other plants.

Crops are genetically modified with “terminal” genes making their seeds infertile and making the farmers dependent on having to buy seeds each year for the next year's harvests.

The bees, needed to fertilize seeds of all other naturally grown plants are slowly killed off with these practices, placing all of nature in a very critical situation. The manufacturers of these plants with terminal genes however find themselves in a very lucrative monopoly controlling the entire world's food supply.

The reasons people go hungry are political and not technical, with the greedy rich and powerful controlling the production and distribution of their food. What life science corporations have in common is a narrow understanding of life based on the erroneous belief that nature can be subjected to human control. With powerful lobbying tactics, they have bought and convinced politicians to allow patenting of life forms.

Patents, making life into a commodity to be bought and sold at the highest price, are given to sequences of DNA codes that life wrote for all of nature. By depleting natural resources and reducing the planet's biodiversity, the very fabric of life on which everybody's well being depends on are damaged.





The solution to all this mess is to abandon the misled scientists, the greedy engineers and the speculating marketeers and to return to nature and organic farming embodying ecological principles that are sustainable and have been sustained for billions of years.


A solution is to return farms from corporate chemical farmers with their monocultures back to family run farms and turn the super markets back into farmer markets.

A society that values boundless profits over democracy, human rights and environmental protection is doomed to perish. Nature tears apart anything too big, erodes anything too high, and dilutes anything too concentrated.
