The Editor,
I am so pleased the News has a focus on local agriculture. As a community gardener with a strange attraction to compost and seeds, I’ve been reading and learning as much as I can about seed collection. I do worry about the way agri-business is trying to control seed and plant production.
While I try not to make too much of conspiracy theories, there is one that has my attention. Foster Gamble, of the Proctor & Gamble family, has “followed the money” with regards to why, in a world of such abundance, there are so many hungry people living in poverty and misery.
In a nutshell, the money led him to a small group who own and control the federal reserve in the USA. This group also aims to control banking, energy, media, and health.
As citizens see their spending power dwindle, struggle with debt, and wonder what the heck is happening, the New World Order is quickly taking shape.
The recent march on climate change may inadvertently play right into their hands as the UN may well recommend a global tax on climate change. So a problem that was created by this small group may saddle us with yet another tax that will require a global government, and that is scary to say the least.
