The
deceptively titled scheme, which investigative journalist Rady Ananda describes
as "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," follows the usual script -- all
those poor African people need American corporations to take control of their
lives so they can be healthy and prosperous.
It
is a tired mantra that, upon closer look, is easily exposed as a complete sham
to both exploit the vulnerable for obscene profits and seize control over the
food supply. And this overtly evil agenda is one that Bono apparently believes
is good, at least for the American interests that are slithering their way into
Africa under the guise of helping the poor.
