Doomsday Vault Opens To Give Seeds To Syria (cnn.com)
pabloApicco sends word that the The Svalbard Global Seed Vault has opened up in order to give seeds to Syrian scientists who had to relocate their research due to the war. CNN reports: "Known as the 'Doomsday Vault,' this seed bank — operated by the Norwegian government and containing a seed of just about every known crop in the world — is meant to be humanity's backup in the event of a catastrophe that devastates crops. But it was not a natural disaster that has caused scientists to have to dip in and make the first significant withdrawal from the vault. Rather, it was the most preventable of man-made disasters -- war. The bloody conflict in Syria has left scientists at an important gene bank in Aleppo -- where new strains of drought- and heat-resistant wheat have been developed over time -- unable to continue their work in recent years. With no sign of conditions in Syria improving, scientists have begun recovering their critical inventory of seeds, sourced from around the Fertile Crescent and beyond, that have been in safekeeping beneath the Arctic ice."
So weakening it will make them happy.
They'll all die underfoot of the fleeing masses!
The seeds are being returned to Syria, who sent them to the Global Seed Vault as a precaution. From TFA:
The ICARDA Aleppo center had sent nearly 80% of the seeds and samples to the Global Seed Vault as a backup by 2012, with its last deposit being in 2014.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .

The knowledge that there is any human who would attack these scientists sickens me. Why isn't there a well known sign, like the red cross for medical workers, that announces and protects humanitarian science?
Also Lebanon isn't particularly stable. It seems odd to me they would re-open in a war-torn nation right next door.
If video games influenced behavior the Pac Man generation would be eating pills and running away from their problems.
And not the buy each year ones
Yeah. I'll buy that for a dollar.
Then you've never studied history, nor do you understand how humanity functions.
So rise up, all ye lost ones, as one, we'll claw the clouds.
>> have been in safekeeping beneath the Arctic Ice
Wait, I thought all that was melting because the sky is falling.
>> it was the most preventable of man-made disasters -- war
Do you have a suggestion to improve gender-equity in disasters?
WTF are you waiting for?
The narrator for that article sounded like she grew up on Shatner Overacting Tapes. She really needs to learn to talk normal, especially if she's going to keep reporting on the news.
This is a good position for the Doomsday Vault to take. "Send us samples for both the protection of our entire planet, and whatever area they came from originally, because we can always send them back." This is one of those uncommon cases where there is a clear benefit at every level for being altruistic. I just hope they don't return all of them, lest there be another loss and then nobody has any.
How is the Riemann zeta function like Trump rallies? Both have an endless number of trivial zeros.

Maybe I'm too much of a cynic but I don't think war is that preventable.
If it was most preventable then why are there millions of refugees from it? They gave up their home, their country, and all they have in order to be mishandled by smugglers and mistreated by nations -- and it was more preventable than the common cold?
There are hundreds of millions of dollars lost. If it was so amazingly preventable, wouldn't any insurance or liability company swipe their fly-swatter and keep the nation at peace?
Hubris and political junk. You are being really judgy and it sounds quite a bit like ignorance.
Politics aside, but shouldn't we wait until certain countries stopping bombing the crap out of Syria before sending seeds? Doesn't seem like a great place for a garden right now.
But its dealing with the enemy.
Hear hear!
About the closest you can come to "preventing war" is "Never start a fight, always finish one."
Mathematically, the "Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma" is a simple model that comes close to politics and war. In a no-noise situation "Tit For Tat" is close to optimum, and in noisy ones the best solutions are tweaks of it. Tweaks that improve things come in two forms: ...)
1) A little forgiveness up front (like "tit for two tats, then tit for tat until some no-tats") helps keep confusion from turning into an ongoing vendetta. (You killed my dad, I kill you, your son kills me, my son kills him,
2) When things have degenerated into war or headed there (such as intermittent unprovoked tats in no discernible pattern), go to all tits. (Once the war starts, pound them into the ground as hard and fast as possible.)
On a more human conceptual scale: Proportional response leads to continuous escalation. (The opposition is never given a schelling point where they can retreat with honor. They must continue to fight and escalate or lose power to those who will.)

They 'vault' is a jew scheme, gates is racial ashkenazi jew, three generations back an 'isreal' gates, other jew blood, this page starts by religion label but goes to genetic facts/racial facts. http://corruptico.com/2014/09/30/jewish-bill-gates-crypto-jew-pseudo-christian/
also see jew wikipedia photo of gates sr, copy / enlarge, obvious ashkenazi so is the mother. Mass data gathering, owner jew monsanto - blackwater Xe 'mercenaries' murderers paid by idiot 'tax', his scum yammer claiming they (his tribe the fake 'government') should 'start spraying to stop global warming' pretending his tribe isn't already spraying us with nano chip chemtrails. Didn't pay tax on the 20 billion put it in a 'foundation' so he only pays 5% to 'charity' every year ('charities' are jew scams). The interest alone covers the 5%, mikrosov and jew boeing swarming mass immigrants destroying environment and roads while jew frauds screech 'be green', immigrants bring their old relatives jew 'govt' give them scam 'social security' and 'healthcare' paid by idiot americans, they take out 'house loans' pushing up fake real estate prices making jew collapse scheme worse, their spawn displacing nordic white kids, but not jews who gave themselves bogus 'minority' status, 'minority' bs also made up by jews to crush whites when it was jews 'who brought the slaves to america' by walter white, archive.org and jews behind the mass immigration destruction of us. Try telling the over 100 million immigrants they swarmed in just the last ten years that government / jews did 911 see how far you get. Idiots swallowed 'legal immigration good' bs jew 'media' LIES claiming it's been only one million visas a years when the jews have been flooding in over 6 Million every year who don't give a sht about you their allegience is to the phony jew 'govt' that hands them your lands and future and You LET them.

On scamming out of tax no one should pay 'tax' to fraud jew 'government' the point is gates is racial jew same as millions of other jews in the tribe, jews don't pay tax, they get their 'govt' scams and 'holo' fraud billions, they don't pay, you pay and stupidly ignore jews destruction and threats on us. The 'media' and web trolls doing 'terrorist' 'extremist' 'racist' or anti guns bs it's jews threatening you to shut up while the real terrorists, jews, set up mass murder of you after you helped them slaughter other countries with your ignorance and paying jew 'tax'. Think if you 'go along' you'll 'get to live', think again dupe, chemtrail virus whether you 'went along' or not.
This 'seed vault for syria bs is jew distraction cover up. Right now the jews fake 'military' and 'mercenary' butchers paid for by YOU are still killing syrians who were trying to be free of the jews and jew isreali scums just like every other middle east country ameriscums decided to kill when it was jews that did 911. The syrian fake 'leader' is a jew doing an act while he lets the people get butchered. The jew 'seed vault' is for jews, they have mass greenhouses for their 'clean' food supply, what organic is left is going away. The few grocery 'health' stores run by jews including 'whole foods', their bogus 'non gmo project' is a jew scam to dumb down organic so food says 'non gmo project' but still have pesticide herbicide poison shit and undisclosed ingredients. We paid for and built the power/water companies then jews scammed them into private companies hiding behind 'public company' jew stock market 'shares' or 'city power' bs. Now jews ream us on rates while they give 'discounts' to scum 'welfare' and 'immigrant' parasites who then 'vote' for more jew 'govt'. The power/water companies are ours, idiots fail to make tribes and take it back.
The jew land grab for food control, jews got away with making up bogus 'government', see scum 'washington' on the dollar, other fake money, different jew faces, all jews. The 'founders' bs is bogus the jew cons didn't 'found' anything, it was nordic
The 'poverty' meme is jew communist bs, jews run every scheme, fraud 'government', bogus 'defense' contractors, big corporations, medium companies small companies, millions of jew trolls on the web making up a fake 'normal' doing every act, 'republican' 'democrt' 'cons duh too shun' 'libertarian' 'obey laws' 'sign petition' 'vote'. The jews made up the 'arab spring' bs using ngo fronts to keep the killing going into egypt libya syria, still also killing in iraq and afghanistan. The Taliban in afghanistan was stopping the jew heroin trade, and ameriscums killed them, now scum 'troops' guard opium for the jews. The killing in syria and everywhere is on your hands. Now will be your turn by chemtrail virus and jew bolsheviks and irealis here posing as 'troops'.

“We Jews put issue upon issue to the American people. Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns. With their eye’s fixed on the issues, they fail to see who is behind every scene. We Jews toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse”
– Harold Rosenthal

You have a mass of information here you didn't bother to earn. You don't need more. Copy to re read, give links to others, put links on notes, hand out to everyone. Don't just post on the web, give info to Real people Offline. They want you stuck 'online' so you don't make tribes in real life. Time is SHORT. No is coming to 'save' you. Make your own tribes. Get off your ass or pay the price. Chemtrail virus.
monsanto is run by jews, monsanto started in the slave trade. the seed vault is also jews, bill gates owner in monsanto, jews also own cargill and other major food control corporations. many links in jew posts above.
It will end up being destroyed anyway.
'nationofchange' all the bogus 'activist' fronts are jew fronts just as 'republicans' democrats' and the rest of the frauds. The Jews are the 'govt'
'rockerfeller' is a made up name, syngenta, jews, monsanto JEWS. the more trolls pile on the more obvious it is. Facts, links in two jew posts above 'gates ashkenazi' and 'jew globalist'. If the posts don't show slide bar over at top of thread and click show all comments button.
They are all Jews.
Three thousand years planning. The distraction they do is whatever they can get away with. Total denial, partial denial, idiot distraction, making an idiot joke of it to distract like the moron post below 'fleeing masses' bs to distract from my post. mass slaughter is not a joke, at least when it comes to the few that don't deserve it. Most of the masses don't deserve to be alive, that's fact, willful ignorance is not deserving of life, but a small percentage of people have paid attention and sacrificed for truth and the future and deserve better that to die, whereas most of the jews in the tribe are no better than the dupes they presume to be better than. No intelligent claim to life, just being born into the tribe and doing a part to corrupt and destroy the planet along the way in their schemes. Followers the same as idiot dupes. see jew posts above.
jwo.
jew world order. only it won't be order, except for jews.
terror for everyone else.
