Emergency Preparedness Start Today!The Doomsday Seed Vault as the media have nicknamed it, was officially opened on February 26, 2008, to serve as the ultimate safety net for one of the world’s most important natural resources. The world's seed collections are vulnerable to a wide range of threats - civil strife, war, natural catastrophes, and, lack of adequate funding, and equipment failures. Unique varieties of our most important crops are lost whenever any such disaster strikes: securing duplicates of all collections in a global facility provides an insurance policy for the world’s food supply.
The Seed Vault is an answer to the Elites problems. Them having complete control over the worlds population through our food source. When famine and hunger strike for what ever reason people will be willing to give up all even their souls to satisfy their starvation.
The Vault is dug into a mountainside near the village of Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Svalbard is a group of islands nearly a thousand kilometers north of mainland Norway. Remote by any standards, Svalbard’s airport is in fact the northernmost point in the world to be serviced by scheduled flights – usually one lands a day. For nearly four months a year the islands are enveloped in total darkness. Permafrost and thick rock ensure that, even without electricity, the samples remain frozen.
Regarding the funding of the Seed Vault, the Norwegian government funded the construction of the Vault in its entirety (this cost $9 million), and will continue to fund the maintenance of the facility, for an annual cost of circa $150,000. The Global Crop Diversity Trust funds the operation and management of the Seed Vault, as well as the transport of unique seeds from the international collections managed by the CGIAR and from collections in developing countries to the Arctic. This second component - the transport - is possible through the United Nations Foundation, a partnership which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The complete list of all the Trust's funders can be seen here.
This Global Foundation is preparing for something catastrophic that destroys our crops and food source, and so should we. Seeds will be worth more than gold at that point. Start your seed bank today!
