of helping farmers grow their land but are making them. penitence on those big corporations. mmhm you know the entry of corporations into agriculture it's alright because the corporations only bring politicians. most of them have roots in germany. in making gases. to kill people in. that was not. there to give people enough no no that is was to make chemicals that kill people off to the walls they said why should we stop making these chemicals let's see now they look at best. they give foot fertilizer fertilizers were made in the same factories that made explosives and ammunition well he does them on the same goal. not all the company's name of the product is on the same so your target might change but the goal does not the materiality. a day to make the cut up check you say it's not repeating the word i

staying in the village rather than being siphoned off at santa's profit and i read a new study this is because the safe seats we brought not. seen can savedd back into the economy monsanto has lost eleven million. hey i want to get the latest book because- you wise and i would say- your attacks not only mon sun so and the likes but also others you. attacked the what you describe as the billionaire dictators especially a one man i should say bill gates- who- you describe as the christopher columbus i'm putting you of modern times and that's not a compliment obviously. listen is to impose unquote directly modified organisms and digital dictatorship to small farmers across the world bill gates who's donated billions- to

improve. public health in poor countries and so on you're saying. essentially he's a dictator and he's there not to help but to make people poorer more that didn't. bill gates is actually continuing the work of monsanto. becauause monsasanto d so many movemenents and- my tribunal on monsanto- a buyout what happened central but when bill gates money africa for feeding the poor in africa and preventing fat and what doing is pushing the field. evolution because pushing. batons i'l'll put a notete in leo he thinks it's a thing and he made wrongng asas as a anythining this enoug. ofof waterer does that enough. letters to him from farmers of africa from governments of afririca to see this is not the way to go to the united nations except agroecology working with ecological systems as the best way toto go. out you bill gates

is trying very hard to shift the patenting issue now to digital so you just take a dynamic map. and so my invention you don't create a seat seed is self organized self making. an evolution in community. just my r read m makg a map of genom and you have no idea. what the c. does and this is something is pushing very very hard my book recalls how he finance did seek- i've talked about how i routed. seeds we have saved that tolerates salt and floods and he says invention this bio piracy is a bit like columbus the columbus a supposed have discovered america. mainly basically went as a pirate why do i call him today's columbus because he's called out new copies. software should have opened so. three thirty thirty he has this strategy and the

various- strategy would you describe as philanthropy capitalism. is in the enterprise so you're not saying he's using the wrong method he's pursuing. a role- with an issue also- attack zuckerberg the founder of facebook saying they're all linked together i mean this really is a bit o of conspiracy theory doesn't it well. my book. based on the need that coming out you have to do is open we'll see ownership and i have date. in the book on how this comment on. we stopped mark zuckerberg from trying to get into indian agriculture. it was a big globalization of people who believe in the opening tonight did you want to do. well you know basically what thehey do is they mined the data from the famas. . and didn't right now al over the world is new debates. on privacy issues on the data mining is new books somome new form of capitalism which is available capitalism where you

basically have turned human beings into your new raw material. bill gates does both he takes living resources i now see that biodiversity mines it. in two data and once ownership along with his friends and mark zuckerberg mines you'll determine your behaviors and turns it into the raw material both of corporate world for selling things which is why strange advertisements pop up after you've sent a message to a friend. and mentor policing elections i have a chapter in the book on the hijack of democracy. you have enough data on what happened with facebook selling data to cambridge analytica and how we are popping up with artificial intelligence leaders this is a major threat to democracy so this is why you're calling them. in their dictators because you think they're not. helping democracy but actually threatening anybody yet one is in the seat i have much. i have

grown up in in india. the tools posted. i've grown up in in india that has absolutely no corporations i've grown up in in in india with democracy works. and therefore when i see the imposition of digital transactions and criminalization of cash between poor people. i as a dictatorship i call it the dignity digital dictatorship when i watch not just in india but in africa and o other parts of the world now that we have the data the two showing that native seeds of more nutrition the produce more food they have no cost because you don't h have to use chemicals that local biodiversity is the way to feeding the world in spite of all that evidence in spite of the evidence in the i did my usual the faa. that every eight. okay imposing and for. gmos which is a failed enterprise and he's not just imposing gmos he's taking waters failed and rejected my

god by goverernment my government. through the b. deal between a monsanto out. bill gates resurrected in bangladesh. we rejected the golden rice for solving the problem of blindness he finances it to continue to philippines so he's taking all the failed projects with the wrong thinking that life is like a word program and can be chopped and cut and paste. when it's so amazing complexity self organization and scientists call it- to boyce's self organization right. your own poetry that's what life does he is absolutely noreen all of this new knowledge that new science is giving us an imposing a failed technology with a huge to the planet. lee so they can please people andnd farmers on free to have a seat. but then the shiva of is the- you have strong views and we're h happy if you are able to share them with us
