Ftr, none of this is a Green agenda. It's capitalist, the opposite of a true Green agenda. Especially with the Henry Kissinger connection.

Greens oppose this kind of thing. We support things like the Open Source Seed Initiative. We're appalled that a handful of companies control the seeds needed to grow food to sustain life. That's the reason a lot of Greens oppose GMO seeds - the corporate control of these seeds by companies who have no problem suing small farms into oblivion. Greens think that people should be able to save seeds to plant later, as has been done ever since the dawn of agriculture.

We also don't promote eating bugs. Ick.

As Michael Pollan says, "Eat food, not too much, mainly plants." That's the real Green point of view.

That's the thing, that they push it under the guise of it being something that people think is a good thing because they don't understand or bother to learn what a real green agenda would look like.

And I would say it's not just capitalist, it's globalist. I just did a comment in the last day or so about the "Dark Triad," a group of three personality traits - narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy - which Cory Morningstar talks about here:

That is, individuals who possess characteristics of any of the personality disorders that make up the Dark Triad are likely to be selfish, possess a grandiose sense of importance, and feel an increased sense of entitlement. Further, these individuals are often pre-occupied with dominance and power and will use aggressive tactics such as manipulation and exploitation to get whatever it is that they feel that they deserve.

I think that pretty much describes the people now ruling our world.

Yep. It's greenwashing. Not really Green at all in any sense of the word, but masquerading as such.

"Dark Triad" - that's a great name! And it does perfectly describe our rulers.

Operation Eat Zee Bugs has now begun. Since they are doing this in Europe as the testing ground, it's only a matter of time before these ghouls try and enact something similar in the US.

Because there are equitable ways of dealing with food scarcity, but instead they are choosing to take the most heinous route, the billionares deserve a painful fate.

Excerpt:

Way back in the 1970s, the far-seeing genius Henry Kissinger identified food (in addition to energy) as a major mechanism that could be used to subdue recalcitrant mankind: “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” Control of money seems to be slipping out of the hands of Dr. Henry’s cabal, and their dominion over the global energy supply seems to be evaporating as well, but they are not giving up on their trump card. That is the capacity to control and, most importantly, to catastrophically diminish the world’s food resources.

True to his word, at the 1974 World Food Conference in Rome Henry unveiled the plan how to use food to cull the world’s population and blackmail governments into doing his masters’ will. It was all circumspectly phrased, of course, and couched in the Aesopian language fully intelligible, besides the cognoscenti, only to a lesser number of alert observers, but remaining largely opaque to the serfs whose mass extermination is being contemplated.

Since then, with their characteristic persistence Henry’s friends and mentors have been hard at work to make it happen. An engineered global food crisis is in the works. Hundreds of millions, and preferably billions, of clueless earthlings will be made to depart from this world in order meet the agendas (“Green”, in this particular case) of the wicked psychopaths who run much of it. And that is not happening owing to the operation of nature’s inexorable forces (as asserted by phony environmental narratives) but by human design.

That much is evident from the ominous Pan-European legislation proposed a few days ago by the European Commission...The lethal sting of EU’s proposed legislative package is deceptively mislabelled as concern for the “sustainable use of natural resources.” That duplicitous phrase however is no more than a code word. It stands for the sinister new “EU Seed Regulation” policy and the concomitant legislative initiative to deregulate the “New Genetic Engineering”.

“We are dismayed by this attack on our seed and crop diversity in Europe,” plaintively comments Arche Noah’s policy officer, Magdalena Prieler. And she explains: “With these proposals we run the risk of global corporations gaining complete control over our food. Agriculture Ministers and the European Parliament must act to protect farmers, consumers, and biodiversity.”

“EU Seed Regulation”

can you summarize this perfidy a bit?

It's basically prohibiting the exchange of organic seeds, making it so even small farmers have to use GMO seeds.

what the hell??

...under the European Commission’s draft law two parallel processes are to be set in motion. On the one hand, as pointed out earlier farmers will only be allowed to exchange their own seeds in small quantities and under tightly regulated conditions. Selling natural seeds will henceforth not be possible. Public gene banks, private collections and seed initiatives will no longer be allowed to give their seeds to farmers. At the same time, however, genetically engineered crop varieties will be promoted and completely deregulated, putting farmers at the mercy of powerful agrochemical corporations such as Bayer, BASF, Corteva and Syngenta, which already control more than half of the global seed market.
