Total Control

TimeWatch Editorial
May 13, 2016

One of the most important elements of control that has taken possession of today’s society is for the most part overlooked or ignored. It is a subject of much debate in some parts of the world, but has not received the kind of pervasive attention it truly deserves. According to the Free Encyclopedia, Frederick William Engdahl was born August 9, 1944 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is an historian, economic researcher, and freelance journalist, who grew up in Texas. After earning a degree in engineering and jurisprudence from Princeton University in 1966 (BA), and graduate study in comparative economics at the University of Stockholm from 1969 to 1970, he worked as an economist and freelance journalist in New York and in Europe. In 2007, he completed and published one of his books entitled: Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation. First, Mr. Engdahl quotes a statement made by George Kennan, the US State Department senior planning official, in 1948.

"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security.” George Kennan, US State Department senior planning official, 1948

The stated objective then is to maintain the dominance that America has in the world. Then Mr. Engdahl reveals in the introduction the reason for writing the results of his research in the book.

“This book is about a project undertaken by asmall socio-political elite, centered, after the Second World War, not in London, but in Washington. It is the untold story of how this self-anointed elite set out, in Kennan's words, to "maintain this position of disparity:' It is the story of how a tiny few dominated the resources and levers of power in the postwar world. It's above all a history of the evolution of power in the control of a select few, in which even science was put in the service of that minority.”Frederick William Engdahl,Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation

Mr. Engdahl identifies one particular family, because of the wealth and political influence as the source of the theory of Global Dominance, however, the aim and intent has permeated the thinking and planning of the entire quorum of the financial elite. The one element of the globalization plan that is not seen in its full potency is the vehicle known as Genetically Modified Organisms. For those of you who might be someone unsure of exactly what Genetically Modified Organisms are, the free Encyclopedia defines them this way:

“A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques (i.e., a genetically engineered organism). GMOs are the source of medicines and genetically modified foods and are widely used in scientific research and to produce other goods. The term GMO is very close to the technical legal term , 'living modified organism', defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety , which regulates international trade in living GMOs (specifically, "any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology").

A more specifically defined type of GMO is a "transgenic organism." This is an organism whose genetic makeup has been altered by the addition of genetic material from an unrelated organism. This should not be confused with the more general way in which "GMO" is used to classify genetically altered organisms, as typically GMOs are organisms whose genetic makeup has been altered without the addition of genetic material from an unrelated organism.” The Free Encyclopedia

For those of you who might think that the Free Encyclopedia is perhaps too free, here is how the Live Science Website defines the process:

“A genetically modified organism, or GMO, is an organism that has had its DNA altered or modified in some way through genetic engineering. In most cases, GMOs have been altered with DNA from another organism, be it a bacterium, plant, virus or animal; these organisms are sometimes referred to as "transgenic" organisms. A gene from a spider that helps the arachnid produce silk, for example, could be inserted into the DNA of an ordinary goat.” LiveScience.com

So the stories that have been spread abroad that this new science will provide the world with food, and will assure us that we will never lack, might not be the objective at all, in fact Mr. Engdahl explains it this way:

“In actual fact, the story of GMO is that of the evolution of power in the hands of an elite, determined at all costs to bring the entire world under their sway.Three decades ago, that power was based around the Rockefeller family. Today, three of the four brothers are long-since deceased, several under peculiar circumstances. However, as was their will, their project of global domination-"full spectrum dominance" as the Pentagon later called it-had spread, often through a rhetoric of "democracy:' and was aided from time to time by the raw military power of that empire when deemed necessary. Their project evolved to the point where one small power group, nominally headquartered in Washington in the early years of the new century, stood determined to control future and present life on this planet to a degree never before dreamed of.” Frederick William Engdahl,Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation, page xvi

We will continue to look at this in our next Editorial.
