Whither agriculture? Human destiny is at a crossroads. What’s our collective desire? To expend natural resources to fuel the machinery of exploitation or to use sustainably the resources of biodiversity and secure the network balances of life on Earth?
Monoculturing, genetic modifications of organisms (GMO), and drug culture are artifices of “vertical integration”, the corporatizing of life that serves protected profits for the few and risks the irreversible exploitation of nature and the people. The diversity of Earth-life is fast being sacrificed irreversibly on the altars of prostitution by the imposter wizards of corporate “religion”.
The genetic modification of plant and animal life is potentially with cataclysmic risks; the reason this is true is because biodiversity includes interdependent web-complexes at every step of the way to diversification. Just one “for instance”, honeybees! Honeybees are one of plant-life’s most prolific pollinators and of great importance, biologically and economically. In the bee’s life cycle, pollen is the critical food source for the hatched beelings and for the queen-mother bee.
The drug industry scheme of genetic engineering to make grain crops, soy beans, etc, compatible and “friendly” with systemic poisons, whether insecticides or herbicides, is at high risk, long-term, of modifying pollen in such a way that it becomes lethal to valuable insects that rely on pollen for food. Right now, beekeepers are finding that colonies of bees in massive numbers are dying off for no known reason. This could be an enormous and long-term economic disaster of incalculable proportions, not to mention the loss of a historically favored food. If GMO pollen is destroying pollinator insects, it poses colossal risks to life and disaster for global agricultural economics.
Essential relationships in life are issues of morality, of religion. The immorality of “abortion” is not a product of family planning so much as it is of the global culture of corporate profiteering and the acquiescence of institutional religions to corporate prostitution and overreach.
The appetites of the machinery of corporate technology for fuel are insatiable because profit is their driving engine. At the present time, agriculture and land are at high risk of becoming victims of technology. The massive dedication of grain crops and land to corporate engineering (to produce fuel to power the engines of technology) is a new and frightening prospect to the diversity of life on Earth, specifically for the reason that the bio-diverse organisms in the soil and plant-life diversity itself are being exposed to the sterilizing impacts of energy-intensive agriculture.
The global corporatization of agriculture has already put the balance of diverse Earth-life on a dangerously steep down-slope. Serious correctives are urgently needed to flatten the tilt against biodiversity and to prevent further greasing the slippery slope.
INSTITUTIONAL RELIGIONS, AWAKEN TO YOUR PRO-LIFE RESPONSIBILITY.
