The Gates and Rockefeller Foundations have announced they will donate $150 million to reform African agriculture and “end hunger.”

Reform, in this case, means supplying them with GMO crops created by Monsanto.

Monsanto is the creator of the perverse “terminator seed,” which refuses to grow for more than a season and renders seeds useless for replanting—effectively destroying the most basic and fundamental law of nature and instrument of farming.

Last year, the Gates Foundation hired Robert Horsch as senior program officer for Africa. Horsch is the former VP of Monsanto, which also invented what the media here calls the “biotech” industry. It’s just a fancy name for the business of patenting natural life forms, which the U.S. patent office began allowing in the 1990s. Overseas they call it “biopiracy.”

How much will it cost Africa to maintain these initially “free” GMO crops? How many Africans will die from starvation when they can’t afford to pay for new GMO seeds each season, or can’t afford the necessary pesticides to make them grow? How many babies will die needlessly from even more toxic—and more scarce—water supplies as Monsanto’s pesticides take over the landscape?
