Global Food Fight

Although I have never met Microsoft's (MSFT:NASDAQ) Bill Gates, he is someone I have always liked and respected. Furthermore, Gates, a close friend of Warren Buffett, is a board member of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B:NYSE), of which I am a shareholder.

About the time the H1N1 virus was the talk of the town, I came across this video of Bill Gates discussing ways to reduce the onslaught of global warming. I have always thought global warming was a hoax and a vehicle for the global transfer of wealth, but the content of this video I found very troubling. Take a listen:



Now, I know years of Bud Lite consumption has indeed killed a lot of my brain cells, but did I in fact hear Gates discuss, in an effort to combat global warming, curbing population growth through vaccination?

I think I heard it right. Certainly, it seems apparent that the Gates Foundation does great work in fighting hunger and educating women on birth control among other things through innovations in health in the third world. However, I am uncomfortable with Gates, or anyone else, including governments, deciding who is fit for existence and potentially eliminating those deemed not worthy by vaccination, born or unborn. But really, could this could not possibly be as potentially nefarious as it sounds?

Unfortunately, yes.

I will give Gates and his foundation the benefit of the doubt, but many organizations and individuals have been on this bandwagon for years, including some well known people, such as playwright George Bernard Shaw.



As an arm of the completely worthless United Nations, we find the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) which seeks to regulate over population through various ways. For more on UNFPA, see the following videos: 1 2 3 4. Throughout time, it seems the socialists thrive on using fear driven by a crisis of the imagination such as the myth of overpopulation and now the greatest hoax in history, global warming.

Back in January, with the United States economy in freefall, Hillary Clinton announced the launch of a new program, the Global Health Initiative, which will, and I quote, become "the centerpiece of U.S. foreign policy". The focus will be to improve family planning and prevent pregnancies. The centerpiece of our foreign policy, mind you.

This past week, Congress, uncharacteristically moving at warp speed, passed the Food Safety Modernization Act. Come again? Are there issues with our food I am unaware of? Glenn Beck has some thoughts on that.


The global warming alarmists, a group basically engaged in stealing the wealth of our country to spread it around to third world countries under the imminent threat of the demise of the world due to global warming, met last week in Cancun, Mexico. Certainly during afternoon recesses, the conference attendees were not afraid of escalating water levels while sunbathing. Anyhow, scientists at the event called for rationing in developed world. To cap off the event, academics called for much tougher measures to cut carbon emissions.

Anytime we have academics and intellectual elites attempting to dictate governmental policy, particularly on inflated claims of an emergency, it is an immediate threat to free market capitalism, which is our best path to prosperity.

With the recent elections here in the United States, efforts by this crowd face much stronger opposition. The socialists smell blood in the water, and I fear they will pull out every stop, including violence, to attempt to create chaos and further their radical agenda. Should chaos in the form of civil disobedience rule the day, seemingly legitimate cries for the government to assist will be made.

Think again. This plays right into the hands of the socialist movement. Freedom is under attack! Under the premise of an emergency, the government will seize power and chunks of our freedom will lost to the ash bin of history. As Ronald Reagan said, Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free
