Der neue Kolonialismus und die Enteignung des Lebens – Dr. Vandana Shiva im Gespräch

"We are experiencing a new colonialism," says Vandana Shiva. The scientist speaks of a global exploitation that, via a money machine, a technology machine, and a democracy-destroying data machine, is taking wealth, property, and general freedom away from the (more than) 99% and giving it to the (under) 1% - the elite.

In the KaiserTV interview, Vandana Shiva draws attention to the legal principle of "Terra Nullius" (No Man's Land), by which a country is first defined as deserted and uncultivated in the course of a colonialist process, so that it can then be taken. She observes a transfer of this principle to all areas of life: even the living seed is legally defined as empty - Bio Nullius - so that the patentable gene sequence of a company can colonize the seed and all life processes as Intellectual Property. The same is observed in relation to the immune system, our health, our mind. Say: He who wants to rob, first denies. This denial is the core of all expropriation processes.

In conversation with Gwendolin Walter-Kirchhoff, the physicist and author talks as well about the misuse of the ecological crisis, carbon reductionism, the value of nature and the power of reality behind fiction.

Dr. Vandana Shiva is a physicist, author, activist and a multi-award winning, internationally honored icon of the environmental movement. She is a key organizer of the Monsanto Tribunal, and throughout her life has campaigned against the neocolonialist practices of agrochemicals in India, against genetic engineering, biopiracy and patents on seeds, and for small-scale organic agriculture. Her life's work was honored this year in the documentary film "The Seeds of Vandana." https://vandanashivamovie.com
