Celeb Bono Partners with Monsanto, G8, to Biowreck Africa

At the G8 Summit held two weeks ago at Camp David, President Obama met with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured, genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit.

And Bono, of the rock group U2, is out shilling for Monsanto on this one.

It’s phase 2 of the Green Revolution. Tanzania, Ghana, and Ethiopia are the first to fall for the deception, with Mozambique, Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and other African nations lining up for the "Grow Africa Partnership," under Obama’s "Global Agricultural Development" plan.

1. Bono needs to invest a little more intellectual capital before he jumps on this bandwagon.

2. I have no doubt the 1st World nations will turn Africa into their breadbasket

It's the only largely untapped agricultural resource left.

I also have no doubt that most of the food grown in Africa won't go to the African people.

3. I was watching Bono on the Daily Show

He gave a decent interview, speaking about AIDS and other issues. I thought nothing of it until the end of the interview, where he recommended routine male circumcision as a way to stop the spread of AIDS.

My immediate reaction was WTF?!? You go first asshole!

4. That's an odd response on your part.

It sounds like you might have circumcision mixed up with castration?

5. Circumcision IS a way to prevent AIDS

There have been several studies on it.

I can't fault Bono for that.

6. Methinks Bono is in over his head.

He's a musician, not a policy wonk. His heart is in the right place but he doesn't understand he's being played like a guitar.
