Cargill and Agro-Cartels Agenda For Globalization and Famine; LaRouche Responds

November 16, 2009 (LPAC)—This week's official pre-meetings for the Nov. 16-18 World Food Security Summit convened in Rome by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, tell in advance why the intended Declaration (a draft is circulating) is a call for more globalization and famine, in the false name of combatting hunger!

Lyndon LaRouche said, "It's a fraud! It's a plan to decrease the world's population by two-thirds. It's a desperate effort to keep control for the moment. It's bad bullshit,— that's the only way to describe it. Don't give it any credibility. They are who they are, out for genocide. Don't get excited about it; it's not going to work. A different trend is happening in the world; at this time, the power of London is about to evaporate. London and its friends are about to lose their power."

On Nov. 12-13, FAO Director Jacques Diouf and other FAO officials met with top execs of major agro-cartel companies now dominating world food, farming, and processing, at a forum, "Private Sector Actions to Reduce Food Insecurity," including Paul Naar, Vice President of Cargill; David Blanchard, Senior V.P. of Unilever; Henry Rieux, Bunge, Europe; Dean Oestreich, Chairman of Pioneer Hi-Bred International (DuPont), the world's largest seed company; Sean de Cleene, Vice President, Yara Fertilizer, the world's largest; and many others. Their common theme, as stated in the title of one of the panels, is: "Sustainable Food Value Chains," which is globaloney-talk meaning: the cartels—not governments, not farmers, not citizens—make the decisions from farm to table, on who farms, who eats, and who doesn't.

This year a new entity was formed called the Global Food Initiative, by four leaders of the world food cartel: Monsanto, ADM, DuPont (Pioneer), and John Deere. The purpose of the association is to promote still more globalization and private control over food seeds, processing, farm inputs, trade, and final distribution.

On Nov. 2-3 in London, this goal was discussed at a conference at the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA, or Chatham House), "Food Security 2009—Achieving Long-Term Solutions."

On Monday, the FAO Summit proper convenes, with an expected attendance of several dozens heads of state, and a keynote by Pope Benedict XVI. As the FAO itself documents, at least 1.02 billion people—one sixth of the human race, is going hungry now. Helga Zepp-LaRouche in 2008 led a world drive for the June 2008 FAO World Food Summit to launch measures to double world food production at the earliest possible time. This can be done through a physical economic mobilization possible under a new credit system, as Lyndon LaRouche calls for, by a "Four Powers" collaboration of Russia, China, India, and the United States.

In opposition to this perspective, the draft 41-point Summit Declaration calls for more globalization, and public/private partnerships in the name of the "right to food."
