GM microbiome

UNSHADOWED
Aug 25, 2025

There is an active effort to modify the substrate of life on our planet: to recolonize the soil on the surface of the Earth with genetically engineered microbes. Millions of acres of U.S. farmland have already been inoculated with genetically modified microbes, replacing the ecosystem’s natural microbiome. Containment is impossible, and remediation is completely unexplored.

This “GM microbiome” (or GM soil) merits discussion, yet is difficult to envision because it exists largely outside our perception. If a company undertook an effort to "replace the microbiome in humans with genetically modified bacteria,” there would be (and should be!) resistance, no matter how altruistically their claims were dressed.

This is precisely part of what’s happening as the soil itself is re-formatted from a natural ecosystem into a patent-pending, CRISPR-modified, nitrogen-fixing, Roundup-spittin’ machine — with consideration given neither to crops nor consumer.

Regenerative agriculture

This ecocidal endeavor is one of the primary pillars of the WEF's efforts around food under the guise of "Regenerative Agriculture," pitched as "a path away from terrible chemical fertilizers." Instead of working to undo damage of modern petrochemical farming by encouraging (and subsidizing) a deployment of real regenerative methods and permaculture systems thinking, the WEF seeks to 'fail forward' into genetically engineering the web of life itself.

Over the years, it's become clear that with such backers, agendas are executed whether or not they are economically viable.

Re-format and re-write the planet’s biosphere

How they're going to do it.

Folks like Klaus Schwab and Peter Thiel talk a lot about biology. This group believes life is something to be hacked and controlled. In the words of Shyam Sankar, Chairman of the Ginkgo’s board (and former CTO of Palantir):

“The mission of Gingko is to make biology easier to engineer. And if you kind of squint at it, you can think of a cell as a computer, you know? You put in code, and you get out product. It is the future of manufacturing, where you can program a cell, provide it with feedstock like sugar water, and get a product out of it.”

Cells as factories

It is this reductionist way of thinking — that the amazingly intricate (and still poorly understood!) web of life in Earth’s soil is nothing more than an empty factory floor for us to populate with our own microbial machines — that informs statements like Gingko’s CEO’s comment that US farmland will soon be manufacturing something much more than food:

“Always-On” Nitrogen Fixing

One of the safest sounding examples of GE microbes, and certainly the example invariably given by the industry, is Pivot Bio’s product “Proven” (named with no shortage of irony given the complete lack of understanding of how their gene edits work or the long-term ramifications of unleashing this engineered form of life into our ecosystems).

“Proven” is a genetically modified nitrogen-fixing microbe created by slicing out two genes: one for fixing nitrogen, and the other that normally down-regulates nitrogen fixation when the soil is already sufficiently rich. In Pivot’s own studies, they admit they had no idea what would happen; the resulting GE microbe would either not fix nitrogen at all, or—and this is what happened—it would fix nitrogen without stopping even when the soil was already rich.

No recall option

The deployment of GE microbes is neither principled nor informed. It is akin to children gaining access to the laboratory of God, or the sorcerer’s apprentice wielding his master’s staff wildly.

Despite not having any idea why their “product” works (and because there is practically zero regulatory framework for biologicals), Proven has been applied to 15+ million acres.

Irreversible

That’s an area larger than Greece — nearly 2% of US farmland. And it’s irreversible. These organisms live and reproduce, with no studies on longevity, fixing nitrogen, with the governor on “too much nitrogen” completely removed. What could go wrong?

Biopesticides

Stunningly, there are less innocuous examples. Consider Vestaron’s Spear: a microbe engineered to create spider venom peptides as an insecticide. This product was approved for use by the EU under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) on July 22, 2025. Genetically engineered microbes that produce spider venom are being introduced today into soils growing tomatoes in Greece, Italy, and Portugal.

World Microbiome Partnership Summit 2025

The World Microbiome Partnership (WMP) is an international forum founded in 2023 with funding from the EU Horizon 2020 to create a governance structure for microbiome manipulation across agriculture, medicine, and climate policy.

The WMP is aligned with One Health and Planetary Health agendas (the same ones behind both the EAT-Lancet commissions "Planetary Health Diet" and the UN's Food Systems Summit that promises to eliminate animal agriculture).

WMP participants include the WHO, the CDC, NIH, and biotech firms. They promote that microbial communities must be governed like other strategic assets.

Technocrats are reframing the microbiome as critical infrastructure: more like an energy grid or communication network than a sacred, living ecosystem.

As biotech companies deploy platforms to build GMO microbes to do everything from "manufacturing", to biomarkers, to surveillance — the WMP seeks control of these novel systems, positioning microbial life as programmable, governable...and ultimately weaponizable. https://substack.com/@unshadowed/note/c-149389262

Microbial Biofeudalism Part II

“Pesticide Liability Shield” provisions have been passed in two U.S. states, and legislation is being rushed through seven others. This shield provides indemnity for companies who create agricultural treatments against claims of damage from their products.

This is not a defensive move so much as it one positioning for a roll-out of synthetic biology. And, viewed in light also of global microbiome governance efforts, it reveals that biotechnology is being reclassified as critical infrastructure.

Pesticide Liability Shield Legislation

The “North Carolina Farm Act of 2025” included a little-discussed provision drafted by Ag/Pharmaceutical giant Bayer. The language eliminates “failure-to-warn” claims, stating that labeling any product registered with the EPA as required is sufficient to have zero liability in the future, providing complete immunity from future lawsuits.

In April 2024, Bayer launched the “Modern Ag Alliance,” a nationwide coalition of more than 100 agricultural organizations (including state farm bureaus) to push similar legislation across the U.S. So far, 11 have actually introduced legislation that would achieve this liability protection, and two have already passed.

One Health

“One Health” is an umbrella term for messing with the lives of humans, animals, and soil endorsed by Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, and United Nations.

The trillion-dollar biotech industry after covid injections

The direction being promoted by the New Zealand Gene Technology Bill amounts to the deregulation of biotechnology experimentation, along with acceptance of the false principle that biotechnology is inherently safe and equivalent to natural processes. Covid-19 vaccinations emerged from a biotech world of hype and hope that was not founded in reality. https://expose-news.com/2025/08/29/biotech-industry-is-facing-failure
