Destroying developing countries' food sufficiency became the starting point......luring them into Rockefeller's petrochemical fertilizer and pesticide driven Green Revolution....came the devastation of their local agro-biodiversity thanks to the introduction of crop monoculture, which caused soil leeching and destroyed its vital nutrients; thanks to excessive pesticides, which besides killing off other plant and animal species, air, water, and land pollution, also distressed local farm economies

There's enough bullshit in this statement to fertilize an entire continent. This is the kind of propaganda I expect from Bolshevik wannabes, but it isn't something I'd expect to see people defending on FR. I don't know much about the Rockefeller Foundation, or the work they're doing in the third world that appears, from comments here, to be evil. I do know a little bit about the Green Revolution, however, and this depiction of what happened during those years is right out of the communist playbook. Anyone giving any credibility to these lies doesn't know squat about the Green Revolution, and is uniquely unqualified to be commenting on it. The fact that the statement above is a massive mountain of crap, makes it clear that nothing else in this mindless screed should be taken seriously.

Thanks for that response... wow, that's fascinating. Let me see here...

We have this statement...

I don't know much about the Rockefeller Foundation, or the work they're doing in the third world that appears, from comments here, to be evil.

Which agrees with the RF work in the third world being evil...

but then this statement,

I do know a little bit about the Green Revolution, however, and this depiction of what happened during those years is right out of the communist playbook.

Ok, so then, (thinking out loud, I'm real "slow")... then the "Green Revolution", since you're saying this depiction is right out of the communist playbook, must not be "what the Rockefeller Foundation is doing in the third world".

Ok, I think that's it - is that what you're saying, that

Green Revolution <> RF third world efforts

Because you said these statements make RF third world efforts sound evil, but also that these statements about the Green Revolution are not accurate, or perhaps presented in a misleading way, I presume that means that you think the Green Revolution is not "evil".

This is interesting, IMHO. So is the Green Revolution good or bad from your point of view, or perhaps mixed ? I confess, I had not heard of that term until today, though I was under the understanding that part of globalism was their fixation on "global" food supplies and the globalist firms' role in providing a "global" solution for the "global problem".

I'd like to understand - thanks for being patient with me.

Wait, maybe it's

What the guy said about GR <> GR

Is that your position on this ?
