The Eugenic War on Fertility

its current use with paired, GM-food carriers is likely for the same purpose, as the evidence suggests
(see also article ‘What Is Class <strong>War</strong>?’).
US-funded crop dusting under helicopter gunship escort has been fumigating ‘the lungs of the
world’ -- the bio-diverse Amazon Basin -- with Monsanto’s Roundup Ultra ® herbicide since
2000. Areas targeted with chemical spraying have included the lands of subsistence farmers,
indigenous habitats, and the source of three major rivers, favoring widespread drift of herbicide
contamination affecting drinking water and wildlife. Food crops and livestock have been
destroyed by the spraying over vast areas (5,000 sq. miles) of fertile lands, and tens of thousands
of indigenous farmers and their families have been displaced and poisoned. An Ecuadorean
study (Paz y Mino, 2007) observed human genetic damage (which may result in
cancer, infertility or birth defects) from the Colombian Roundup ® formulation, drifted into inhabited
areas in Ecuador along the border with Colombia.
Imperial attacks on Food Independence
Food crops reportedly have been heavily targeted in the southern provinces of Boyaca and Narino.
In the latter, one in five children suffers from chronic malnutrition, the highest rate nationwide
(Xinhua). Under the US$ seven billion- Bush-era Plan Colombia chemical warfare, the
crop dusters have been accompanied on the ground by land expropriations from subsistence
farmers as well as political massacres committed by US-trained (SOA Watch) and funded rightwing
paramilitary death squads, or US mil contractors (corpwatch); a repeat of history from
other Latin American countries in the USA’s bloody ‘backyard.’
Transformation--from South Vietnam to Colombia
As a result of the upheaval and violence, 27 indigenous groups are said to be at risk of extinction
(Colombian Constitutional Court/UN). Afro-Colombians and peasant farmers have also been
disproportionately affected (displaced) 3 in a country with the highest number of internal refugees
worldwide (IDMC). As South America turns hopefully towards a future of selfdetermination,
with Venezuela leading the way -- after a long history of US-sponsored dictatorship
and Right-wing terrorism on the continent -- Colombia has become an important US military
redoubt. Plan Colombia is a US military operation (by proxy) in the style of the food crop
destruction in Vietnam with ‘Agent Orange’ herbicide, supplied by the very same US company,
Monsanto, whose Roundup ® herbicide has been sprayed over Colombia for more than a decade.
