Vandana Shiva: Decolonising the Global Economy

Wednesday 17 May 2023 | Full Circle, Brussels
Environmentalist, activist and author Vandana Shiva delivers a critical talk on what the whole point of the economy is and how to decolonise its global dimension. She looks at the whole picture, connecting the dots from a just international trade to thriving local economies and how our democracies can truly serve us.

    Had the honour of meeting this amazing woman. She is disarmingly intelligent. It's not like you're standing in the room with an intellectual giant, it is exactly like that. We would all be so much better off if we learned to listen to and elevate individuals like Vandana Shiva. Unfortunately we worship money we don't have in the dream we can afford things that are otherwise free. If a person of her education and intelligence sees wisdom and value in the knowledge of farming communities then the rest of us would be stupid to not pay attention ourselves.

    This education starts and ends at home. If you are not doing it at home, why would you pass this important teaching on to someone else. ANYONE can take a seed, plant it in good soil, care for it and watch as it return 100 fold to the caregiver. This is not science. Its the true desire to create harmony. Americans are among the laziest most complacent people in the world. THAT is why we are the richest country with the poorest quality of food anywhere in the world. Wake up.

    The Germination of Outrage: How Vandana Shiva Fabricates Conspiracy Theories Posted by RISKMONGER [a degreed biotech expert] on FEBRUARY 27, 2020 "Vandana Shiva has made a lucrative business out of spreading conspiracy theories about agricultural technologies, sustainable farming, capitalism and industry. Her popularity has grown as she positions herself as a modern-day Gandhi, a social justice warrior, an ecological feminist and an agroecologist. The problem is that most everything that comes out of her much amplified mouth is complete nonsense: pure fabrications easily and often refuted. Which leads to the question: How does Vandana consistently get away with such ridiculous falsehoods and oral assaults on intelligent thought? How can she weave the absurd into a web of allegations willingly consumed by her followers? How does she relentlessly fabricate conspiracy theories and package them for consumption among the Western liberal elite? This article will look at one web of lies she is presently spinning as an analysis of the germination of outrage. Gone Vananas! As Vandana points her finger at Western economic models and institutions, she has profited quite well from lucrative speaking fees and first-class luxury living. She uses the free speech made available to her on university campuses to condemn farmers for freely choosing the seeds they want to grow. As Vandana attacks industry for their lack of openness, she will never engage in open debate with an adversary. As long as Vandana controls the microphone, she can say what she wants, repeating it to her followers and making the outrageous a marketable outrage. Some of the claims she has repeatedly made, which would have destroyed the credibility of any mere mortal, include: *Shiva: Indian farmers are killing themselves in much larger numbers after being exposed to pesticides and GMOs. Fact: Indian farmer suicide rates are lower than the national average. *Shiva: 75% of all diseases are caused by a “Poison Cartel” of three chemical companies. Fact: This is too absurd to consider. We are living longer and healthier lives. *Shiva: The Green Revolution in the 1960s destroyed India’s way of life. Fact: Until the Green Revolution, India was plagued with famines and chronic malnutrition. This is not a story about how wrong Vandana Shiva is, how she hypocritically profits from her lies or how dangerous she is to global food security. There is enough critical information out there. This is a story about how Vandana’s lies germinate into conspiracy theories packaged for outrage consumption. With Shiva, the truth doesn’t matter. She simply ignores any fact-checking, corrections and personal criticisms. Her adoring audience wants to hear what Shiva has to say, without a care for whether it is true or not. Like Donald Trump, Shiva has a Teflon charisma that appeals specifically to her base and allows her to take them down a road of rage, righteousness and rhetoric. Facts don’t matter when zealots fabricate outrage." Full coverage at: risk-monger.com/2020/02/27/the-germination-of-outrage/

    We aren’t even allowed to grow our own food or raise livestock for ourselves without extraordinary expense and government/HAO permission. If cannot sustain yourself, then you are owned by other people or corporations. As you mentioned the people allow it and vote for the situation we’re in. I don’t agree with some of the romanticizing and Idealizing of the history of any indigenous people, cultures and lands. People all over the world from time and memorial have been killing each other for power, riches and land. So let’s not pretend that isn’t a real thing and that started with Europeans or Christianity. Which by the way is not a tenet of the faith. Those might have been done in the name of Christianity, but make no mistake it was for the already rich and powerful monarchy, not Jesus. That said, understanding the past and current impact of colonialism is an absolute essential element of undoing the current inequities and difficulties we have now and are allowing other to build for us in the future.

All Native Amerikans and Afrikan Amerikans are Hindian Aboriginies or Negroes or Mestizos, or Mulatten, or Natives, Indiens or Indiaans... They are all the same words. Columbus never said he was going to India although India was apart of Indo China "Hindia".
