MURDER BY INJECTION: CHAPTER 7: FERTILIZER

By Eustace Mullins

One of the great changes in our world during the last fifty years

has been the "green revolution," the so-called agricultural revolution

in many parts of the Third World. This revolution was supposed to

rapidly bring the Third World countries into the twentieth century,

and allow them to compete on an equal basis with the more

advanced Western nations. As the twentieth century now recedes

into history, it is apparent that this objective has not been achieved.

Asian and Latin American countries are offering more competition

in the production of finished goods at a much cheaper labor cost, but

in agriculture, despite the fact that vast new markets have been

created for the Rockefeller chemical operations, the alleviation of

poverty, which supposedly was the goal of the "green revolution"

remains a chimera. In fact, those areas of the world which have long

been marked on the maps as "undeveloped" had no notation of the

fact that this was a code word for "unexploited," that is, not yet

exploited by the rapacious international conspirators. The only real

interest of the financiers is to develop markets for their products

which can return a profit. Because most of the Third World

countries are unable to pay for goods, a complex system has been

developed whereby the American taxpayer sends "aid" to the Third

World.

He works in a factory to make a tractor; the tractor is then

sent to Bolivia, and then a payment for it is extorted from the

worker's wages. A further refinement is a system whereby American

or international banks "lend" the money to these countries so that

they can pay for the goods; the Federal Reserve System then

"guarantees" these uncollectible loans with American taxpayers'

funds.

Once again, the worker has the money extorted from his

paycheck to cover the cost of the goods he produces. The framers of

the Constitution never envisioned such a development, with the

result that when the worker cites the Constitution for relief from the

extortion, the judge indignantly throws him into jail for "irrelevant"

and "confusing" testimony. The world is now a Gulag Archipelago,

run by the ruthless minions of the Rockefeller-Rothschild

conglomerate.

Its gods are money and power; its only enemy is the advocate of liberty.

The current hero of the Rockefeller interests is Norman

Borlaug, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. An Iowa

farmer, Borlaug had been sent to Mexico by the Rockefeller

interests in 1944 to develop new types of grain. During his

experiments there, he mated 60,000 different species of wheat,

resulting in the creation of an all tropical race of dwarfs, double

dwarfs and triple dwarfs by 1964. This was hailed as "the green

revolution."

The resulting "superwheat" produced greater yields, but

this was done by "hyping" the soil with huge amounts of fertilizer

per acre, the fertilizer being the product of nitrates and petroleum,

commodities controlled by the Rockefellers. Huge quantities of

herbicides and pesticides were also used, creating additional markets

for the Rockefeller chemical empire. In effect, "the green

revolution" was merely a chemical revolution. At no point could the

Third World nations be expected to pay for the huge amounts of

chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This was again taken care of by

the system of "foreign aid" which was already in place.

The Rockefeller interests also sent Robert Chandler to the

Philippines to develop a "Miracle Rice"; the result was a rice which

used three times the previous amount of fertilizer. This rice matured

in four months instead of the previous six months, producing three

crops a year instead of two. When two Phillippine groups of wealthy

entrepreneurs began to contest each other for local spinoffs of the

profits of "Miracle Rice," the Rockefellers decided to oust one

group, the Marcos combine, replacing it with the Aquino faction,

which had close ties to the Chase Manhattan Bank, and which could

be depended on to pay interest on loans.

As usual, Rockefeller "philanthropy" was closely inter-linked with markets,

profits and political control. Modern fertilizer is a petroleum based industry.

At the conclusion of the Second World War, the munitions

manufacturers found themselves faced with huge inventories of

nitrates. Because of the outbreak of peace, which is always regarded

with horror by the philanthropic foundations, new markets had to be

found, and quickly, for these commodities. Nitrogen and nitrates

were key ingredients in the manufacture of bombs and shells.

A comparable peacetime market had to be developed. Following the

precept which they had established after the First World War, when

the monopolists, faced with a huge supply of leftover chlorine,

which had been manufactured at great expense to cause intensive

suffering and death, found that the only possible market was to sell

it to American communities, who would then pour it into their water

supplies, it was decided in 1945 that the only outlet for the huge

inventory of nitrates was to put it into the food chain, as fertilizer.

The increasing rate of deaths from heart attacks in the United

States for the past fifty years has been ingenuously explained by

apologists for the Medical Monopoly as one more illustration of the

"fact" that Americans were living longer, their advancing years

making them more susceptible to "degenerative" diseases such as

cancer and heart trouble. This was the usual copout from the

medical establishment, which conveniently ignored important

advances in the American lifestyle. For a number of years during the

nineteenth century, epidemics of cholera and typhoid fever had

devastated the inhabitants of large American cities, the outbreaks

being due to poor sanitation and contamination of the water supply.

When the monopolists poured their excess chlorine into the water

supplies after the First World War, the result was widely hailed as

having ended the epidemics of cholera and typhoid fever. In fact,

chlorination had not been responsible for this development. Typhoid

fever had been largely due to the contamination of city streets by

large quantities of horse droppings, which festered and drew flies.

When it rained, this contamination was washed into the water

supply. With the advent of the automobile, and the disappearance of

horses from city streets as our main means of transportation, typhoid

fever vanished almost overnight. This occurred during the 1920s,

when automobiles replaced horses on the streets.

The dumping of this war material into our water supply did

have one unforeseen effect. It brought on a new epidemic, an

epidemic of heart attacks. The chlorine in the water combined with

animal fats in the diet to form a chemical amalgam, which then

formed a gummy substance in the arteries; this created a medical

condition called atherosclerosis. The buildup of this gummy

substance in the arteries gradually interfered with the circulation of

the blood, finally closing off the main arteries to the heart, and

bringing on the attacks of angina pectoris and coronary heart

attacks.

 Here again, a seeming "advance" in hygiene proved to be

yet another boon for the Medical Monopoly, as the offices of the

physicians were filled with Americans suffering from heart disease.

At the conclusion of World War II, the monopolists began a

concerted effort to dump their surplus nitrates into the American

food chain. County agents throughout the United States were told to

advise farmers in their areas to increase their use of fertilizers,

herbicides and pesticides. This advice served to make farming even

more capital intensive, forcing the farmers to go to the banks to

borrow more money, and paving the way for the program of forcing

the individual farmers off the land, creating great agricultural

monopolies, similar to the Soviet Agricultural Trust.

Farmers also borrowed heavily to buy expensive tractors which ran

 on gasoline, greatly adding to the Rockefeller revenues, and at the same time

depriving them of the fertilizer formerly available from their horses.

It was hardly coincidental that the banks, which so cheerfully anted

up the loans needed by the farmers who faithfully followed the

instructions of their county agents, were banks who got their funds

from the Federal Reserve System. This monopoly of the nation's

money and credit had been planned at a secret meeting of

conspirators on Jekyl Island, Georgia in November of 1910, a

meeting presided over by Senator Nelson Aldrich, whose daughter

had recently married John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

The nutritional value of foods grown in heavily fertilized soil,

and the fact that these foods then undergo extensive "processing" to

render them more convenient for large scale warehousing,

transportation and retailing, has been glossed over by the Medical

Monopoly.

A protesting voice was heard when Dr. H. M. Sinclair, a leading

nutritionist, and head of the Laboratory of Human Nutrition,

Magdalen College, Oxford, gave a 1957 World Health Day address,

which was reprinted in the British Medical Journal, December 14,

1957. Dr. Sinclair recalled that from his earliest days as a medical

student, "my clinical teachers could not answer why the expectation

of life in this century of the middle-aged man is hardly different

from what it was at the beginning of this century, or even a century

ago. This means that despite the great advances in medicine ~

pneumonia almost abolished, tuberculosis comparatively rare, the

magnificent advances in surgery, endocrinology, and public

health ~ a middle-aged man cannot expect to live more than four

years longer than he could a century ago ~ and indeed, in Scotland,

the expectation of life is now actually decreasing."

In 1893, a German agricultural chemist, Dr. Julius Hensel,

wrote in his book "Bread From Stones," "Agriculture has entered

into the sign of cancer ... we cannot be indifferent to what kind of

crops we raise for our nourishment or with what substances our

fields are fertilized. It cannot be all sufficient that great quantities

are harvested, but that great quantity must also be of good quality. It

is indisputable that by merely fertilizing with marl, i.e., with

carbonate of lime, such a large yield may be obtained as to make a

man inclined to always content himself with marl, but with such a

one-sided fertilization slowly but surely, evil effects of various

kinds will develop; these have given rise to the axiom of experience:

"Manuring with lime makes rich fathers but poor sons."

As our present fine flour, freed from bran, furnished almost entirely

devoid of nutrients, we need not wonder at the great number of modern

maladies."

This was written in 1893, before the Rockefeller interests

flooded the world with their petroleum based fertilizers.

To counteract the growing array of inert, nutrition deficient

foods, the minions of the Medical Monopoly have not been idle.

While conducting wars of attrition against the leading exponents of

better nutrition, the Food and Drug Administration and the

American Medical Association have valiantly defended the use of

chemical fertilizers.

The widely circulated AMA magazine, Today's Health, found in every

 public school and library, in September 1958, stated,

"Extensive research conducted by the Federal Government has

 shown that the nutritional value of crops is not affected

by the soil or the fertilizers used . . ." This was contradicted

by the Rockefeller Foundation's own Dr. Alexis Carrel, who wrote,

"Chemical fertilizers, by increasing the abundance of the crops

without replacing all the exhausted elements of the soil, have

indirectly contributed to change the nutritive value of cereal grains

and vegetables. Hens have been compelled by artificial diet and

mode of living, to enter the ranks of mass producers. Has not the

quality of their eggs been modified? The same question may be

asked about milk, because cows are now confined to the stable all

year round, and are fed with manufactured provender. Hygienists

have not paid sufficient attention to the genesis of diseases. Their

studies of conditions of life and diet, and of their effect on the

physiological and mental state of modern man, are superficial,

incomplete and of too short duration."

Despite the claims of government researchers, the importance

of soil is shown by the fact that the proportion of iron in lettuce can

vary from 1 mg per hundred to 50 mg per hundred, according to

conditions of the soil in which it is grown. The Middle West has

long been known as "the goiter belt," because of a widespread

deficiency of iodine in the soil. The British Isles, which have been

heavily farmed for almost two thousand years, have such

deficiencies of minerals in the soil that the British are known the

world over for then-bad teeth.

The present system of agricultural chemistry was fathered by

Dr. Justus von Liebig, a German chemistry professor who suggested

that minerals should be added to the soil and acids added to make

them more available to plants. Chemistry agriculture uses soluble

chemicals which are either acidic or basic, their final effect being to

acidify the soil, while the use of chemical minerals renders the soil

useless. It has been suggested that we are still living on the benefits

conferred by the last Glacial Age, and that the only way to

remineralize the soil is to undergo another Glacial Age, as has

previously happened about every 100,000 years.

Dr. W. M. Albrecht, chairman of the Department of Soils at the

University of Missouri School of Agriculture, states, "While it has

long been common belief that disease is an infliction visited upon us

from without, there is a growing recognition that it possibly

originates from within because of deficiencies and failure to nourish

ourselves completely. Fuller knowledge of nutrition is revealing

mounting numbers of cases of deficiency diseases. These tend to be

traced, not only to the supplies in the food and supermarket where

the family budget may provide them, but a bit further, and closer to

their origin, namely, the fertilization of the soil, the point at which

all agricultural production takes off . . . These increasing cases

classified as deficiencies are bolstering the truth of that old adage,

which told us that 'to be well fed is to be healthy.' "

Many of the strange new diseases which have arisen to plague

us in recent years are found to have a nutritional origin. Dr.

Josephson identifies myasthenia gravis as an endocrine disorder

resulting from a deficiency of manganese, which may be caused

either by defective assimilation of manganese or by defective

metabolism. The need for chemical fertilizers may have stemmed

from a longstanding flaw in the method of farming, the use of the

moldbord plow. Edward H. Faulkner, professor at the University of

Oklahoma, discovered that the moldbord plow was destroying the

fertility of the soil. He counteracted this effect by disking green

manure into the surface and eliminating the plow, an instrument

which sandwiches virtually all green manure (decaying plant matter

and vegetable residue found on the surface of the ground) some six

to eight inches below the surface, where it forms a barrier to water,

which should rise from the water table. The upper six inches then

becomes dry, as the capillary action of water movement is blocked.

Plants grown on this plow-depleted soil attract insects, while their

vitamin and mineral content is depleted. The plants become sickly

and die.

Seeing this result, the farmer then decides that the problem is

the lack of some element in the soil, not realizing that it is the plow

which has interfered with the capillary action of water in the soil. He

then becomes a ready customer for large quantities of chemical

fertilizers. One of the principal producers of these fertilizers was the

Rockefeller-controlled American Agricultural and Chemical

Company. Not surprisingly, one of its directors, John C. Traphagen,

was also a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and

the Rockefeller Institute of Medicine. A prime mover and director of

the American Cancer Society, Traphagen was president of the Bank

of New York, and director of the Fifth Avenue Bank. He was also a

director of Wyandotte Chemicals, Hudson Insurance, Brokers and

Shippers Insurance, Caledonian American Insurance, Foreign

Bondholders Protective Association, Sun Insurance, Ltd. (one of the

three principal Rothschild firms), Atlantic Mutual Insurance, Eagle

Fire Insurance, Norwich Union Fire Insurance, Ltd., International

Nickel, Royal Insurance Company, Royal Liverpool Insurance, and

many other London insurance firms, most of whom were within the

Rothschild orbit.

Also on the board of American Agricultural and Chemical was

John Foster Dulles, of the Wall Street law firm, Sullivan and

Cromwell; he served as Eisenhower's Secretary of State while his

brother Allen was head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Dulles

was also a director of International Nickel, Bank of New York,

American Banknote Company (which furnished the paper used by

the Federal Reserve System to print its paper money, which was

backed by paper bonds) and chairman of the Carnegie Endowment

for International Peace, of which Alger Hiss was President, director

of the New York Public Library, Union Theological Seminary, and

the New York State Banking Board. Dulles had been secretary at the

Hague Peace Conference in 1907 and served as his uncle's secretary

at the Paris Peace Conference in 1918, Robert Lansing, Wilson's

Secretary of State. Dulles later served on the Reparations

Commission and the Supreme Economic Council with Bernard

Baruch in 1919; he attended the Berlin Debt Conference in 1933,

and was American delegate to the United Nations in San Francisco

when Alger Hiss wrote the United Nations Charter in 1945. Both

Dulles and brother Allen had attended a historic conference with

Baron Kurt von Schroder and Adolf Hitler in Cologne in 1933,

when the Dulles brothers assured Hitler that Wall Street bankers

would advance him the money to launch his Nazi regime in

Germany.

Also on the board of American Ag & Chem was George C.

Clark of the investment bankers, Clark and Dodge; John R. Dillon,

chairman of Unexcelled Chemical Company, Lone Start Cement,

and was also a theatre tycoon, director of National Theatres,

Twentieth Century Fox, Skouras Theatres, and also an aircraft

tycoon, as director of Curtiss-Wright and Wright Aeronautical; also

on the board was banker Robert Stone, partner of Hayden Stone,

director of Rockefeller's Mesabi Iron Ore and Island Greek Coal

Company, Punta Alegre Sugar Company, U.S. Envelope, John P.

Chase Company, Philadelphia and Norfolk Steamship Company,

Amoskeag Company and William Whitmore Company.

Another member of Ag & Chem was Elliott V. Bell, who was

also director of the American Cancer Society. He had been a

financial writer for the New York Times from 1929 to 1939, which

gave him entree into the highest financial circles. He became

economic adviser to Thomas Dewey in 1940, Supt. of Banks for

New York State from 1947-49, director of McGraw Hill, editor of

the business magazine Business-week, director of Rockefeller's

Chase Manhattan Bank, New York Life, New York Telephone

Company, Tricontinental Corporation, Revere Copper and Brass and

other firms. He also was appointed to the Committee on Social

Security Finance for HEW, and trustee of the John S. Guggenheim

Foundation, the Roger Straus Foundation. His daughter is a leading

New York socialite, Mrs. Thomas Hoving, one of the "beautiful

people."

The use of chemical fertilizers caused the protein content of

vegetables to drop steadily at the rate of ten per cent a year.

However, the most dangerous effect, and the probable cause of

much nutritionally induced disease, was the fact that chemical

fertilizer reduced the amount of potassium in the soil, while

increasing the amount of sodium. Potassium and sodium are the

leaders of the two electrically opposite groups. Inactive potassium in

the system precipitates illness, especially cancer. The increased

sodium may explain the dramatic increase in the incidence of high

blood pressure throughout the United States, because our population

is ingesting steadily increasing amounts of sodium from foods

grown in chemically fertilized soil, while simultaneously suffering

from the effects of steadily declining levels of potassium in the

human system. Potassium is especially necessary for the regulation

of the heart beat; its lack in the body makes the system prone to

sudden heart attacks.

Nutritionists now believe that the use of chemical fertilizers in

the soil causes seventy per cent of all anemia in the citizens of the

United States, because these fertilizers do not replace iron in the

soil, but actually remove it.

The use of chemical fertilizers also accelerated the domination

of the world's grain supply by large corporations which are closely

affiliated with the Rockefeller interests. In 1919, the largest grain

grower in the world was the Montana Farming Corporation. At that

time, wheat was selling for a guaranteed price of $2.20 a bushel and

the combine was raking in huge profits. Montana's board of

directors was headed by J. P. Morgan, whose vast interests in

banking, steel and railroads had given no inkling of his desire to

become a farmer; Morgan was serving on the Federal Advisory

Council of the Federal Reserve Board, representing the New York

central banking area. His associates on the board of Montana

Farming were Rockefeller's banker, James Stillman of the National

City Bank ~ two of his daughters married two sons of William

Rockefeller; Francis Hinckley Sisson, vice-president of the Morgan

controlled bank, Guaranty Trust ~ it is now Morgan Guaranty Trust.

Charles D. Norton, whom Morgan placed as President Taft's

personal secretary during the Taft presidency. Norton served as

president of Morgan's First National Bank (later merged with

Rockefeller's National City Bank to form the present banking giant,

Citibank). Norton had been one of the original conspirators present

at Jekyl Island to secretly draft the Federal Reserve Act. He was a

director of Montgomery Ward, Equitable Life, ATT, Tidewater Oil,

and the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad. He was also director of

a number of Morgan's favorite charities, the American Red Cross,

the Russell Sage Foundation and the Metropolitan Museum. Also on

the board of Montana Farming was Charles H. Sabin, a director of

Guaranty Trust, Merchants and Metals National Bank, president of

the Asia Banking Corporation, American Foreign Securities

Corporation, the Mackay Companies, Postal Telegraph and many

other firms.

Today, the world grain trade is firmly in the hand of five firms,

Cargill, Continental Grain, Louis Dreyfus, Bunge and Andre. These

firms have waxed rich and powerful by riding the tide of the

supergrains developed by the Rockefeller Trust. They maintain

close contact with these interests, and the banking interests of the

Rockefellers, relying principally on the Chase Manhattan

international network. These firms have also profited from the

Rockefeller Foundation's development of hybrid seeds, notably

corn.

From a commercial standpoint, the attraction of the hybrids is

that they cannot reproduce themselves. As a result, the farmer has to

ante up the money to buy a new supply of the hybrid seeds each

year. Hybrid seeds have another great attraction for the monopolists;

they give the parent company, which owns the patent, a monopoly

on that particular variety of seed. Thus we have the twin factors of

commercial viability and monopoly to give the banks and the

Chemical Trust a stranglehold on the American Farmer.

Hybrid seeds yield an average increase of twenty to thirty per cent more per

acre, which is a strong selling point to the farmer. Likewise the

"miracle wheat" which was originated at the International Maize and

Wheat Improvement Center at El Butan, Mexico, resulted in the

development of a wheat strain which could stand up under the force

of lashing rains and tropical storms. It was produced by crossing

Mexican wheat with the strains of Japanese dwarfs which had short,

tough stems. Norin-10, from the island of Honshu, was hardy

enough to stand up under Japanese typhoons. It became the type

which made the "green revolution" a reality. After 1960, the

Mexican station released a long line of wheats, Nanair 60, for the

year 1960, Pitic 62, Penjamo 62, Sonora 64, Lerma Rojo 64, India

66, Siete Cerros 66, Super X 67, Yecoar 70, and Cajeme 71.

Although they required intensive fertilization and irrigation, they all

could thrive in tropical countries. The Big Five wield enormous

political and financial power because of their enormous cash flow,

and because so many governments depend on their food supply to

maintain political stability. This was demonstrated during what

historians now call the Great Soviet Grain Robbery in 1972.

Arranged by Henry Kissinger, longtime Rockefeller stooge from the

Chase Manhattan Bank, this deal bailed out the tottering Soviet

government, while costing the American taxpayer many billions. In

July, 1972, the Soviet Union bought wheat from the United States,

in an attempt to compensate for the disastrous incompetence of the

Soviet communal system of agriculture. In 1963, Russia had begun

a policy of purchasing wheat from abroad by buying 6.8 million

tons from Canada for $500 million. To pay for the purchases from

the United States in 1972, the Soviet Union was allowed to cover

the payment in the following manner; the central bank of Hungary,

acting for the Soviet Union, placed an order to sell the dollar short

for $20 billion. Secretary of the Treasury, John Connally, then

devalued the dollar by ten per cent. The Soviet Union made $4

billion on its short selling of the dollar, and paid for the grain.

Michel Sidona, who had been deeply involved with the Rothschilds

and the Hambro family in international financial manipulations,

described the process from his prison cell, where he was later found

dead. "In its fathomless naiveté, the United States has provided the

Soviet Union with $4 billion, money that has since doubtless been

invested in the destruction of its benefactors; I began to see then that

America was the consort of its own ruin. I tell you, in all of history,

no power has so blindly armed and succored its enemies as she."

The Soviet grain deal resulted in increasing the price of all food

supplies in the United States by twenty per cent. Because of

restrictions imposed by Congress on shipping grain in foreign

vessels, a measure which had been passed to aid our dwindling

maritime fleet, the Soviet grain purchases in 1972 cost the American

taxpayer an additional fifty-five million dollars in subsidies to bulk

carriers. The American carriers shipped the grain for sixteen dollars

a ton, although foreign vessels would have carried it for nine dollars

a ton.

To this day, only a few international grain traders and Soviet

officials actually know the price charged for forty million tons of

grain which the Soviets bought from the United States between

1971 and 1977. Officials at the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture state that

they have no records on the price paid, or whether it was ever paid.

Only Henry Kissinger knows, and he is not telling.

The Big Five grain dealers are also heavily involved in

currency manipulations, trading vast sums each day in currency

futures, because their grain deals cause great fluctuations in the

valuation of world currencies. With their inside track, they make

huge profits whether the value of the currencies moves up or down.

Cargill now has 25% of the world's grain trade; Bunge of Argentina

has 20%; Continental Grain began operations during the Napoleonic

Wars, supplying grain to both sides; it has 25% of the world grain

Trade ~ the present head of the firm, Michel Fribourg, owns 90% of

the stock, with his son Rene; Michel Fribourg was a French citizen

who joined the U.S. Army Intelligence during World War II; he

subsequently became a U.S. citizen; Andre, a Swiss family

belonging to a strict sect of Swiss Calvinists who are members of

the worldwide and very militant Plymouth Brethren; and Dreyfus,

which has twenty per cent of the world grain trade. Dreyfus is now

headed by Nathaniel Samuels, who served on President Nixon's

team as Under Secretary for Economic Affairs. The chairman of

Bunge, Walter Klein, whose office is at One Chase Manhattan

Plaza, New York, is a policy-making official of the U.S.-USSR

Trade and Economic Council.
