CORPORATE CAPTURE OF GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEMS ‘ THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE WEF AND UN FOOD  AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO)

CORPORATE CAPTURE OF GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEMS ‘ THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE WEF AND UN FOOD  AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO)

The Un / WEF Official Partnership was officially adopted 13th June 2019. With a Proviso to jointly  accelerate UN Agenda 2030 Global Goals across the world. (SDGs) Transforming Our Lives By 2030. Leaving No-one Behind- Everyone-Everywhere at Every Age. To collaborate Global Food Security * Transform Agri-food Systems. Resource Management * Digital Global Innovation * Public-Private Partnerships * Multistakeholder Capitalism

However there have been many critics that have raised multiple concerns primarily Civil Society Organizations about the Conflicts of Interests * The Influence of Private Corporation as whisperers in the ears of UN Agencies .This includes the Corporate Capture of the Global Food System and the UN FAO’s role in the Global Food Initiatives that include:-Strategic Partnerships with Corporations (a wide range of stakeholders) including UN Entities * Governments * Leaders of Civil Society and the Private Sector (The Mask they hide behind is (Eradicating Hunger- Poverty World Wide) Global Agenda 2030- SDG 1 and SDG2

The FAO (UN) works in a broader UN Framework in that of Food Security & Nutrition. Guiding Global, Regional and National efforts into Policy & Decision making. And encourages Multistake-holderism dialogue, developing common approaches to Global Food Systems. Supporting UN Member States to create coalitions of Public-Private Actors to foster Agri-food System Transformation. The deepening of institutional engagement as to Global Challenges such as Climate Change – Health – and the coined phrase ‘Sustainable Development

The WEF-UN Collaboration (Partnership) with the FAO (UN)..In 2022 they signed a Letter of Intent to facilitate the channeling of the Private Sector resources towards Transforming Agri-food Systems worldwide. The WEF launched the Food Innovation Hubs Global Initiative with FAO (UN) as the Collaborator. Leveraging Market Based Partnerships with Public-Private and Civil Society Partners to Scale Up Innovations

Critics have reported that the UNs growing collaboration with the WEF is a platform for Transnational Corporations that allows ‘Global Corporate Capture’ and a dialogue of  Global Decision Making. 240 Civil Society Organizations condemned the 2019 WEF-UN Partnership in an Open Letter stating that it ‘Delegitimizes the UN and weakens the role of UN Member States in Global Decision Making – Increasing the influence of corporations, promoting industrial, technological focused solution to Food Security which risks harming small scale farming practices, causing socio-economical problems. Favoring Corporate Interests over that of vulnerable populations-Threatening Human Rights.

Giving disproportionate power to Corporate Interests, undermining  the Democratic State Nature of the UN as it was originally set out to be. With the WEF & UN public-private relationship increasing investment in Agrifood systems, aborting traditional farming. Collaborating on Data & Digital conditions that produce WEF/UN Initiatives Eg: (One Map & the Future Market Place Playbook) With the FAO (UN) and WEF Co-publishing a White Paper titled ‘Transforming Food Systems for Country Led Innovation’

The WEF/FAO (UN) Food Summit and the Digital and Data Coalition. The WEF long standing relations with UN Agencies. The Alignment of Food Systems Transformation.  Inclusive Partnerships with common goals. The common goal of Transforming Global Food Systems. Providing Data and Stats crucial for informing Policy and Tracking Progress in the Transformation of Global Food Systems

Partnerships that are focused on attracting Investment for the Transformation of Global Food Systems, this includes how Food is Produced, Distributed and Consumed globally. The total destruction of the Free-market Enterprise Innovated Economy (The Freedom To Choose). Multistakeholder Capitalism Klaus Schwabs baby (600 Page Global Redesign Initiative 2010) Produced and adopted post the 2008-2009 World  Financial Recession. Adopted by Governments worldwide

Critics state that this approach shifts Economic Governance away from Competitive Markets towards a model of Self Appointed Group of Corporate and Political Elites. There are also many critics that view the annual DAVOS gatherings as an Undemocratic Opaque Governance Venue where powerful political and corporate leaders make decisions without accountability to the public they represent in UN Member Nation States thus diminishing National Sovereignty

Never let a Good Crisis Go To Waste. Large Corporate Interests that prioritize Conformity over Disruption. The WEF is accused of ‘Crony Capitalism’. Where Corporations use their influence to lobby for favorable regulations and protectionism through Legislations at the expense of a genuine Free-Market enterprising Innovative Economy. Corporations accused of Green Washing (ESG’s)

Initiatives such as the Great Reset proposed by the WEF, advocating for the restructuring of the Global Economy. The lack of Democratic Engagement within UN Member Nation States and Beyond -Globally that do not reflect the interests of UN Member State or Global Population interests but those of the Economical /Political Elite. The Stakeholder Capitalism model seeks to shift responsibility beyond shareholders to a broader group of stakeholders has been criticized as rebranding of the worlds economy. And the Erosion of National Sovereignty

The increasing influence of the WEF over UN Nation State policies and the erosion of National Sovereignty is not without serious concern. The WEF pushing for Global Governance Models that by-pass Nation State Legislatures without civil societies explicit consent. The WEF Global Digital Identification Systems, * Centralized Climate Policies * International Tax Frameworks all encroachments on Nation State Government and the voting public of the Sovereign Nation State. Decision making that cannot be challenged, hence the government is not held accountable by its voting  citizens

The WEF a strong powerful proponent of the Forth Industrial Revolution which encompasses Artificial Intelligence * Automation * Biotechnology being implemented even though populations worldwide have serious concerns about this push into a Technocratic Future of Controlling Forces of Compliancy. The WEF reporting its Vision ‘A Technology Driven Future that includes Mass Digital Surveillance which is being played out rapidly across the world eight now. AI Digital Identification Global Governance (Transforming Our Live by 2030. UN Agenda 2030 SDG 16.9 Everyone is to have a digital ID by 2030) Otherwise you wont be recognized as existing.

NZ participating in the WEF Pilot ‘Digital Regulations’. Without transparency. Did the Government share this information publicly? NO. Was there any public discussion- debate with  the population of NZ. No.  WEF mass digital surveillance, monitoring and a push for a ‘cashless society’. Digital Identity Systems. Government/Corporate surveillance restricting individual autonomy- freedoms- liberties. (Judith Collins Portfolio)

COVID 19 – The WEF played an increasing significant role in shaping Global Health Policies particularly during the COVID Pandemic. Collaborating with Organizations like the WHO (UN) and major Pharmaceutical companies (Big Pharma) to influence  Vax Policies, Digital Health Passes and Pandemic Preparedness Strategies. Concerns have been raised about the WEFs role in promoting policies that benefit Bif Pharma at the expense of transparency and Public Choice. The rapid push for vaccine mandates and Digital Health Passports seen by some as an over-reach prioritizing Corporate Interests over Individual Freedoms

The WEF and the UN have positioned themselves as a global force, with zilch accountability to National Sovereignty and the people whom vote political parties in. This empowers a small global powerful elite to shape the Global Future that do not align with the broader interests of Humanity. This is a global concentration of centralized power (Top Down and Bottom Up) that poses a huge risk to our personal- individual freedoms. Where Governments engage with the WEF /UN behind closed doors when they collaboration – plan to implement the Transforming Of Our Lives before 2030. (Leaving No-One Behind..Everyone..Everywhere.. At Every Age)

We No… What They Are Doing.. They Know- We know what they are Doing.. But they still keep on Doing it.. Yet there is a deafening Silence in the public Arena as the UN Member State Puppets implement ‘Transforming Our Lives By 2030’ Locking us into a Digital Prison. Industrial Corporate Global Food Systems and Smart City Surveillance-Monitoring-Facial Recognition.

THE HAMAS LED MASSACRE MEETS THE THRESHOLD OF GENOCIDE ‘THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION’

THE HORRIFIC ATTACK, MURDEROUS ANTISEMITIC JEW HATERS – October 7th 2023 HAMAS led  massacre of approximately 1,200 people in Israel is viewed by many scholars and legal analysts as a modern manifestation of the genocidal antisemitism popularized by the Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion.. And the connection  between the attack and the 120 years old forgery, the ideology of HAMAS and the subsequent global surge in  antisemitism

Hamas Ideology and the Protocols Of the Elders Of Zion . There is a direct reference in the  1988 HAMAS Covenant, which explicitly cites the Protocols as proof of a ‘Global Zionist Plot’ to control the World’ Using the text to justify its call to obliterate Israel and the Jewish people. The surge in global antisemitism following the 7th October 2023 horrendous attacks, murderous actions have followed with a worldwide severe spike of sufferance for the Jewish people.

Reports indicate  that 11.5 % of online antisemitic narratives post 6 months after 7th October 2023 have referenced the Protocols of the elders of Zion. Claims of Zionist domination of Media * Banking * Government. Used as a weapon of justification the fraudulent Protocols aimed to justify the horrors of the massacres in Israel. Even though the HAMAS led massacre meets the threshold of Genocide- based on their documented ‘Intent to totally ‘Destroy the Jewish People’

The Protocols of the Elders Of Zion are often used as global narratives to recast the victims as the orchestrators of their own destruction. Scholars have linked the October 7th 2023  to an ideological chain – to the Protocols of The Elders of Zion dating back to  1903. This also leading to Nazi Germany & the continuous leading to  the modern Islamist terrorist movements. In 2025 its noted that these 120 years of old lies remain a ‘cultural truism’ for extremist groups that justify violence against Jews as a form of ‘Resistance’ against a mythical global power.

Despite the Protocols of the Elders of Zion being thoroughly debunked proved as fraudulent by Governments – Courts – Leading Newspapers and Historians.. the Protocols still remains as a foundational text for antisemitism– conspiracy theories- blatant lies- globally. The Protocols deliberately used as a weaponized tool in Nazi Germany- German teachers  indoctrinating children in schools ( teaching them that these are true- these are reality). The Protocols were heavily used to justify the Holocaust. Continue to be circulated worldwide. (Although proven fake-fraudulent-complete lies)

Post WW 2 and right through to 2025 modern antisemitic groups have integrated the ‘Protocols’ with the Holocaust denial in the following ways:- Claiming the Holocaust is a Fabrication or an Exaggeration * A common distortion * That Jewish  Elders orchestrated the Holocaust themselves * That they collaborated with the Nazis to gain International Sympathy  * To Secure the State of Israel                                                        *Holocaust deniers frequently cite the Protocols- to justify (confirm) their theory- that Jews have a Global  Mechanism for Manipulating Historical Records & World Media- to invents Events for Financial Reparations or Political gain

By 2025 (this year). The Protocols of the Elders Of Zion are still being used as a Holocaust denial, which has become mutually supportive in extremist circles. The conspiracy theories continue. Other untruths that link to the Protocols  include:- Jewish have control of all information. Whilst the original forgery of the Protocols pre-dates the Holocaust, it is still a primary tool used by deniers to support their false claim that this is all a ‘Massive Jewish Plot’

HOW DOES IT GO–I know they are lying-…. We know they are lying …… they know  – that we know… that they are lying- But they still keep lying to justify their  violence, their attacks, their murderous actions against the Jewish People and the State Of Israel   * Israel has every right in this world to exist as a Sovereign State and should be recognized as such.                                                                                                                             However, the debate over whether denying Israel’s right to exist constitutes antisemitism remains a central issue in 2025:

Impact of the “Protocols”: Scholars note that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion continues to be used by extremist groups in 2025 to delegitimize Israel, framing its survival not as a matter of national rights but as part of a global “Jewish plot”

UNFAIRLY TARGETING FARMERS – THE 2016 HAVELOCK NORTH WAS USED TO INTRODUCE – THE NEW WATER REGULATOR TAUMATA AROWAI AND THE MAORI ADVISORY BOARD

UNFAIRLY TARGETING FARMERS – THE 2016 HAVELOCK NORTH WAS USED TO INTRODUCE –    THE NEW WATER REGULATOR TAUMATA AROWAI AND THE MAORI ADVISORY BOARD

Initially Accusations & Speculations were a reality to the farmers whom were blamed for the  Campylobacter outbreak  in Havelock North in August 2016, An estimated  5,500 people, 15 approx hospital admissions & 3  reported contributed deaths. There were political discussions and the Green Party blamed the Farmers for Intensification of  Farming practices as being the fault of the contamination

Federated Farmers & other Agricultural Representatives strongly rejected the claims pointing out that the area new the specific bore in question  was primarily lifestyle blocks and orchards not Intensive Dair Farming. It was concluded the source of contamination was likely from sheep faeces that flowed into a surface pond & then into an insecure bore

The Govt Inquiry attributed the blame on the Systemic failings by Hawkes Bay Regional Council & the Hastings District Council for their lack of collaboration * inadequate Risk Assessments & the failure to ensure Bore Security & Proper Water Treatment. The initial finger pointing at farmers caused a significant negative effect on the farming communities reputation. NZ First stated the Farmers are owed an apology as it was clarified the actual source was the Councils significant failings.

Farmers had been treated unfairly , were targeted by misleading and alarmist claims by Anti Lobbyists without a shred of evidence. There was finger pointing at agriculture,  yet the closest dairy farms was 40 kilometers away. It was reported that farmers had spent $1 billion fencing rivers over the past decade.

The Havelock August 2016 Incident imposed new restrictions & obligations on farmers as key land users in water catchments. Councils were blamed, criticized for the lack of collaboration * Inadequate Risk Assessment * Failure to implement required Water Safety Plans & Monitoring which was said to contribute to the outbreak occurring. The Havelock North Incidence highlighted tensions around water and land use in NZ, leading to more management & regulations nationwide.

Regional Councils eg Hawkes Bay Regional Council was required to implement stricter rules and planning changes (Like a TANK plan Change) which included the development & implementation of Farm Plans. Introduced more rigorous standards & restrictions, scrutiny and more rigorous national standards. This leading to increased regulations & restrictions on Agricultural practices & policy changes

The prompting of calls for a more Sustainable Less Intensive Farming methods. Including a cap on the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, a measure that directly impacts many farmers. The Havelock North 2016 Incident  although Farmers were not to blame led to broader regulatory shifting, restriction on land use practices especially agriculture right across NZ. (was this just another Crisis opportunity ‘Never let a Good Crisis Go to Waste)that this was in  1 of the bore heads (Same location as the August 2016 incident)

The independent Stu Clark 1998 Report concluded that the 2 Bores were a possible source of campylobacteriosis.. The likely point of entry for  contaminated surface water was a leaking power cable gland. It was recommended that testing the Te Mata Aquifer to establish whether it was confined along with measured to ensure security of both bores.

The Regional Council failed to meet its responsibilities as set out by the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) to act as Guardian of the Aquifers under the Heretaunga Plains Protection of Water Sources. The District Council did not embrace- implement the high standard of care requires of a public drinking water supplier in light of the 1998 outbreak and the significant history of transgressions. The breaching of Drinking Water Standards

The District Council did not properly manage the maintenance of plant equipment or keep records of that work, carried out little to no supervisions of follow-up work. Did not carry out recommended improvements. There was a lack of collaboration and liaison  between the Regional Council and the District Council. A strained relationship with an absence of regular and meaningful cooperations resulted in missed opportunities that may have prevented the out break

Consultancy firm MWH New Zealand Ltd (“MWH”), a technical adviser to the District Council, failed competently to assess and report on the security of the bore heads of Brookvale Road bores 1 and 2. The Inquiry found that near the Brookvale Rd Bores the Aquifer had been penetrated by a significant number of disused or uncapped bores leaving it vulnerable to entry by contaminated water. That the Brookvale RD Bore 3 was affected by earthworks at the neighboring Te Mata Mushroom property, leaving it vulnerable to contaminated water

The Te Mata Aquifer was not a secure source of drinking water- non compliant to Drinking Water standards. That the Regional and District Councils relationship was dysfunctional. The Regional Council filed a criminal prosecution against the Regional Council 18th November 2016 which led to a delay in the Inquiry.

It was stated that this was ill advised and never should have been launched . It was eventually dropped and replaced with two infringement notices. The Regional Council spent $450,000 investigating the case. This could have been spent on the Aquifers beneath the Heretaunga Plains

It was reported that the risk associated with waterborne diseases in NZ are well recognized. The Drinking Water Guidelines emphazise that ‘Untreated drinking water contaminated with pathogens presents a significant risk to human health. Therefore lessons need to be learned from the Havelock North Incident.

But was has Central Government learned. First they blame the farmers unjustifiably so. Yet 23 years later successive governments have turned deliberately absent minded- where the Local Govt Act 2002 still remains with the same errors as when it was presented to the House. Where Trade Waste Consent Breeches still remain a cause of significant concern. Where Stats  that were present a couple of years ago now  the 2024-2025 Stats for Trade Waste Consent breaches are clearly absent from the publics eye.
