Demented.. dementors..

Jacky Fleming's "Demented" strips in the You magazine are usually brilliant, but this week's is so good that I couldn't resist scanning and posting it in a picture link to her site. I hope she won't mind.

Jacky Fleming: Demented

Remember JK Rowling's dementors?

Dementors

Well, for some reason this article about a "Doomsday Seed Vault" in the Arctic funded by Bill Gates, the Rockefeller family and the GMO giants (amongst others) which I've also been reading, reminds me of them.

Apparently they've been selling seed with the 'Terminator' gene to developing world farmers, leading to their financial disaster and thousands of suicides, whilst at the same time spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this project to preserve as many natural seeds as possible.

Suspicious?

I suspect the only way to ensure the freedom to harvest one's own seeds in future will be to hand-weed one's own food crops.
