LET THEM EAT FAKE

Bill Gates Wants Us to Eat 100% Synthetic Beef. He Has a Point.

  • Bill Gates suggests synthetic beef like Beyond Meat is a key part of climate action.
  • Lab-grown meat still has extremely high costs, but taste-wise, it has passed muster.
  • Gates pushes meat alternatives because of meat’s high cost in global emissions.

Bill Gates has a big idea to fight climate change. The Microsoft cofounder and chair of the investment fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures recently suggested that “all rich countries should move to 100 [percent] synthetic beef” in an interview with MIT Technology Review.

Why is Gates, a direct and indirect investor in brands like Beyond Meats and Impossible Foods, pushing for synthetic meat—particularly synthetic beef—as a climate solution?

When Things Don’t Add Up

World Economic Forum Sets Ball Rolling on Overcoming Global Crisis, Proposes 'The Great Reset' - Intervention A Rebuttal to Klaus Schwab's Article on the Covid-19 Crisis | Capitalist Exploits

It was only a week ago that the American Medical Association (AMA) declared that the category formerly known as “sex” must be removed from US birth certificates — replaced, one supposes, by a tacit “to-be-determined” status in the great Progressive rush to extract the human race from the animal kingdom. Of course, that’s only one skirmish in the great Woke Jacobin war on the moiling masses who clutter up planet Earth, cramping the style of its transhuman-seeking ubermanagers, Bill Gates, Bezos, Daszak, Zuck, Jack, Elon, Klaus & Company, et. al.

But this was the old redoubtable, white-coated AMA, you understand, not some claque of screeching, size-16, “body-positive,” gender-cryptic freshman hopping up and down outside the Yale faculty lounge at the sherry-sipping toffs within. Amateur diagnosticians out there might recognize it as another symptom of the hebephrenic toxicosis infecting America’s elites, especially those who work in realms supposedly based on facts, figures, and the general effort to make sense of life in our mysterious universe.

Is Gates Thinning the Herd with a Food Crisis?

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Biden is now paying farmers not to grow crops and was perhaps directed by Bill Gates, who has become the biggest farmland holder in the USA. The risk of starvation around the world is rising. The real question is very dark. Is this part of Gates’ idea on how to reduce the population? Perhaps Warren Buffett and George Soros will lead the way and just die rather than clinging to every last breath to screw with the rest of us, the Great Unwashed, for whom they have never had any respect whatsoever.

Vandana Shiva: Bill Gates Plan to Push Big Tech as Way to Save the World Is ‘Rubbish’

Via Children’s Health Defense

In an interview with Russell Brand, Vandana Shiva, a brilliant mind calling for inhabitants of the Earth to unite against forces threatening to destroy the planet, calls Bill Gates’ book, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,” which pushes for the elimination of age-old farming traditions and widespread adoption of fake meat, “rubbish.”

Tech billionaire Bill Gates is pushing technology as the only mechanism to save the world.

Vandana Shiva is a brilliant mind calling for inhabitants of the Earth to unite against forces that are threatening to destroy the planet, in part via a new wave of colonization in the name of sustainability.

Tech billionaire Bill Gates, now the largest owner of farmland in the U.S., is at the root of the problem, pushing technology as the only mechanism to save the world, and in so doing denying real solutions. This path is not accidental but carefully orchestrated to amass wealth, power and control, while making all but the elite subservient.

In my interview with Vandana Shiva, Ph.D., she spoke about Gates Ag One, which is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, where Monsanto is also headquartered.

Gates Ag One is one [type of] agriculture for the whole world, organized top down. He’s written about it. We have a whole section on it in our new report, ‘Gates to a Global Empire,’” she said. This includes digital farming, in which farmers are surveilled and mined for their agricultural data, which is then repackaged and sold back to them.

How Bill Gates and His Foundation Are Driving the Food System — in the Wrong Direction

Via Children’s Health Defense

An analysis of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s food and agriculture grants found the majority of the foundation’s funding goes to groups heavily skewed to technologies — completely ignoring the knowledge, technologies and biodiversity Africa’s farmers already possess.

Bill Gates

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has spent nearly $6 billion over the past 17 years trying to improve agriculture, mainly in Africa. This is a lot of money for an underfunded sector, and, as such, carries great weight. To better understand how the Gates Foundation is shaping the global agriculture agenda, GRAIN analyzed all the food and agriculture grants the foundation has made up until 2020.

We found that, while the Foundation’s grants focus on African farmers, the vast majority of its funding goes to groups in North America and Europe. The grants are also heavily skewed to technologies developed by research centers and corporations in the North for poor farmers in the South, completely ignoring the knowledge, technologies and biodiversity that these farmers already possess.
