Monsanto Investor Bill Gates Says GMO Crops Needed to Fight Starvation

Bill Gates, the heavy Monsanto investor who purchased 500,000 shares of the biotech giant in 2010, has been touting Monsanto’s genetically modified creations as a tool that is necessary to prevent starvation in poor nations. The same poor nations where thousands of farmers routinely commit suicide after being completely bankrupt by Monsanto’s overpriced and ineffective GM seeds. The same company that we recently exposed to be running ‘slave-like’ working conditions, forcing poor workers to operate the corn fields for 14 hours per day while withholding pay.
According to Gates, this is the company whose GMO crops are going to save the world from starvation. Of course along with ‘saving the world from starvation’, GMO crops also bring along a large number of unwanted health and environmental effects. A prominent review of 19 studies examining the safety of these crops found that consumption of GMO corn or soybeans can lead to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice – particularly in the liver and kidneys.
Are Monsanto’s Devastating Creations Really the Answer to World Hunger?
What’s more is that Monsanto’s best selling herbicide Roundup has been completely devastating farmlands for years through the creation of resistant superweeds. Experts estimate Roundup usage to result in the destruction of over at least 120 million hectares of farmland thanks to these superweeds.
Is it any wonder that in 2008 a startling report uncovered Monsanto’s blatant abuse of poor farmers in the very poor countries that will supposedly benefit from GMO crops? Thanks to an article in the Daily Mail, it was revealed that thousands of farmers were committing suicide after using Monsanto’s GM seeds. Due to failing harvests and drastically inflated prices, the bankrupt poor farmers began taking their lives — oftentimes drinking the very same chemical concoctions provided by Monsanto as a method of suicide.
‘We are ruined now,’ said the dead man’s 38-year-old wife. ‘We bought 100 grams of BT Cotton. Our crop failed twice. My husband had become depressed. He went out to his field, lay down in the cotton and swallowed insecticide.’
Monsanto actually conned the farmers into buying their GM seeds, majorly overpriced and performing far worse than even traditional seeds. Monsanto went as far as to charge these poor farmers £10 for 100 grams of GM seed, while they could have purchased 1,000 times more traditional seeds for the same amount. The result? A career-ending harvest that led to mass farmer suicide.
It is quite clear that Monsanto really has no intention of helping these farmers fight starvation in their communities, as Monsanto investor Bill Gates would have you think. You can view Bill Gate’s speech about how GMO crops are the answer to starvation and see for yourself how he puts such strong emphasis on that selling point.

Argh I am so glad more & more people are waking up too the tyranny of a few ELITE scum. The chemtrails are also a depopulation plan. These fkers want to augment the worlds plants & animals & humans into sub-servant obedient pets. We will find them easily because they will look healthy and the rest of us are barely nutritionally surviving the changes ahead.
They will pay with a bloodied gavel…all in good time.
so monsanto is getting kicked out of countries (yay, species!), and ‘humanitarian’ gates buys half a million shares. his foundation works hard to vaccinate the world, too. what a guy, eh?

and if you thought you knew abt chemtrails–wait. there’s more. and it’s reallly really bad. goddammit, ya know? pls do watch the link. 1 hr. worth yr time.
Bill Gates is a f@#%ing liar!!! This GMO stuff is what is going to cause starvation!! Look at what it is doing….killing off the bees, etc. where the crops aren’t getting pollinated, etc. If you want to know what is going on, check out about the “Windsor Global Food Cartel Instrument For Starvation”. I knew these rich people are NOT eating the same kind of food that they are trying to force on us!! I hope I can help encourage everyone to stop buying any food that they think has GMO’s in them, and put these SOB’s out of business. Grow your own food, and if you have the ability to, get a goat, raise your own chickens for eggs, etc. and don’t use damned roundup around your house. There are other methods of weed control, and one of them is with a propane torch, and burning them, etc. Bill Gates, and Melinda are going to hell. They will be there with all of their friends. Bill Gates is into population control, eugenics, etc. These guys think they are going to the underground bases for the elite where they can be saved while we perish…They must not know that these underground bases have already been destroyed by sonic weapons, which blew them apart.
GM plants and seeds is a manipulative smokescreen.
The best way to avoid an escalation in starving multitudes is to limit the number of children we have.
Make family education and birth control available to all and teach all people to limit their family to 2 children.
Hitler equals Bill Gates? Is this a tea party website? Wow! I wonder how many commentators on this website has ever read or taken classes on genetics or has a good understanding of science or how research is done. There are thousands of studies that find a link to cancer-mushrooms causes cancer in mice. It’s ok to hate a company with bad business practices, but wrong to eliminate a GM product because you have an unrealistic view of the world. Yeah, organic farming sounds cool. We tried it for many centuries. People could not feed themselves. They worked all day and died early. Science has helped improve our lives. Just read any book on agriculture in the 1800′s. They were running out nitrogen. And the world population was only 14% of what it is today. Destroy Mosanto, sure. But keep good science alive. What’s the difference between the Tea Party and people who hate conventional agriculture? Nothing. They both will go to lenght to find some article that supports their point of view. Global warming not real! says the right winger! GM will destroy farming! say people. By the way, I heard Bill is Malaria project is just a plot for world domination
Bud, you are so lost in the bullshit you spew, it ain’t even funny.
Your either a brainless moron or an ignorant shill
Either way, your intentions and words should be avoided.
When I read that comment I’m thinking the Monsanto groups getting desparate and now invading the opponate directly. Why here post?
He’s helping the wrong cause…and in the wrong pew. Is he trying to help? And, didn’t we did better when we had organic farming in the beginning? As it says in scriptures to eat the leaf and seeds for medicine. (Paraphasing of course) Now their too corrupt to use as food or medicine, and this group and others are trying to stop this poison from contaminating every living thing than destroying us. Your in the wrong pew.
Thank you! Finally someone with a brain gives an intelligent reply.
People must take a stand – SAY NO TO GMO’S
A Class Action Suit must be taken against Monsanato!
And YES! Along with that SUIT Included Gates and Microsoft as conspirators against HUMANITY.
i WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO ATTACH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THEIR APPROVAL BODIES.
Leave no stone unturned.
Without taking action we will cause OUR OWN IT IS OUR OWN D E A T H!!!!!!!!!!
I think really deserves the Approval Bodies of Govt. deserve the LASH!
Get the word out to all RETAILERS to STOP stocking
Microsoft products. WE WON’T BUY!!!!!
And us people trash outdated Microsoft product and send then back to Bill Gates.
The MESSAGE IS – DON’T BUY MICROSOFT PRODUCTS – PERIOD!
Another way to get attention is for PEOPLE to form
Lobby Groups and Picket retailers that sell Microsoft Products.

Dear Dave, YOU ARE SO RIGHT! i THOUGHT THAT GATES WAS ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS BUT HE, OBVIOUSLY, IS NOT. kEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK! PLEASE.
If I were interviewing little Billie Gates I’d have just one question for him. “Would you eat GMO food and require that your family to eat it too?” Be interesting to watch him answer.
GMOs to fight starvation? How about getting rid of the leaders and governments who engineer starvation. ALL starvation and hunger on this planet is politically engineered. Without exception. If I am wrong, please point out where on Earth starvation is the result of something other than government.
I cant feel sorry for people who have a house full of kids and no way of feeding them. obviously they got nothing better to9o do then having sex which sometimes is a luxury to a tired American couple that works around the clock trying to make ends meet. Feed them some birth control and to hell with the Pope. He is not a man of God but a whacko. No one speaks for God. I swear the world is turning into a freak show and it takes a great sense of humor to survive it lol.
Bill Gates promoting Monsanto… He’s not proving that the crap Monsanto foists on the planet is good.
He’s proving that he values his profit margin over that of humanity being able to survive.
ALSO consider he’s part of the world seed bank where millions of types of seeds are held in reserve in case of major eco-collapse…
An eco-collapse he’s part of promoting with Monsanto.
With Bill, it’s ALWAYS about the money. NEVER the good for humanity.
Not suprised at all!
I agree, the next great famine will be caused by the suicide seed that cannot reproduce, and what Monsant and the likes are doing world wide to own the food. In a failing economy, and a world wide financial crisis food will be more vailuable that $$$$$.
BOY, AM I DISAPPOINTED IN BILL GATES AND HIS WIFE!

This is effective population control.
Bill Gates is a eugenicist too. He said publicly that vaccines will help control the worlds population. The man is pure evil. Everything he does is geared towards killing human beings thru legal means. He is completely insane, a sociopath like Hitler and George Bush.
There are many people who are successful and intelligent like President Obama and Bill Gates, who lack common sense because they think on a different level than the common person.
It does not mean that they are evil. The way Monsanto does business and deceives people is evil!
Yes! Starvation because the patented stuff Monsanto calls food corrodes the esophagus of animals and people causing great pain when eaten makes people and wildlife avoid eating it. Hence, the world’s population will be reduced.
But there is so much more that I doubt Bill Gates has taken into consideration.
Dr. Mercola Interviews Dr. Don Huber, an expert in plant pathology about Genetically Modified Organisms. (Part 1 is at

The issues and claims that have been brought forward by Dr. Don Huber, retired professor of Plant Pathology at Purdue University. Recently, Purdue University faculty members have responded to these claims and using peer-reviewed science, have refuted the statements made by Dr. Huber.
For a brilliant man he sure is a dummy
Bill Gates is hardly a dummy!
He owns $40 million of Monsanto shares…
The best we can all do to fight back the infiltration of our governments and food markets via Bill Gates and Monsanto is to share on all social networks and our email contacts all the vital information we need to expose this evil. Contact with all the suppermarket chains telling them GM dangers and calling on them to be aware of the dangers in our food chain and that we do not except the sale of such contaminated foods and will hold them accountable for stocking food of this kind . People action must be stepped up.
There are two natural food stores in my area
(Whole Foods does not count) The one I shop
at states no No Hormones, No Antibiotics,
No HFC, etc but nothing states No GMO’S.
Asked mgm about this and the manger stated
they could not keep the GMO’S out. How can
a natural food store consider these alien foods
healthy? I feel the GMO’S could be eliminated
if retailer were diligent in the products they purchased esp since this retailer has the resources.
One of the main reasons I shop at a natural food
store is to avoid GMO’S.
I also shop at a natural food store. But, the owner will sell food as well as GMO “food” which the USDA has labeled as “natural” in order to live and make money.
I replenished a container of MISO, that was not organic, but did not contribute to health effects until the batch recently purchased. Now, I’ll trash it and note to myself not to buy it again.
The reason, even though it’s labeled as “natural” it has apparently either been contaminated with GMO’s –it is soy. Or, it has been heavily sprayed with Roundup. Within 12 hours of consuming 1 teaspoon diluted in water, I had severe pains in my gastrointestinal track.
No wonder wildlife will not eat these so called “foods” created by the biotech pesticide industries. If rats won’t eat it, they are smarter than humans, the President of the USA, the Congress, and Bill Gates!
They know something that we civilized beings do not understand.
If you can’t feed them, don’t breed them. Bomb shelter
Gates and the rest of the reptiles should enjoy the
benefits of GMO’S for them selves – less freemasons
would be a good thing.
The big mystery that everyone is asking, what will it be that totally kills off the elite and leaves the rest of us to survive? Can hardly wait to see how it happens. The poor little brown bats of North America have been devastated by white-nose syndrome, caused by the mold like makes Brie cheese. Maybe something like that will attack the wealthy, maybe sort of a white-ass syndrome, that only attacks people who eat caviar and champaign.
A buddy of my (way up the food chain) had dinner w/ David Rockefeller. Short story; D.R.’s chef had his own private garden of natural grown, non gmo, organic, you get the picture, stuff. No, the elites know better than to eat what the rest of us have little choice in.
LOL>>>>>>>>>>> that was funny
I would have advised Bill to buy this instead:

Much more humane…
It should be quite clear now that Bill Gates is a murdering psychopath. Lets hope he goes the way of that apple guy.
