DISINFO: Wheat shipped to Georgia from the US is linked to the Rockefeller family and is dangerous

SUMMARY

The Georgian population should know the biological composition of this wheat, since wheat business belongs to the Rockefeller Holding in the United States. The population should demand an independent testing for the U.S. wheat. People should know what they eat – genetically modified food full of toxins and harmful nano-cells, which cause lots of deadly diseases, or food full of natural ingredients.

RESPONSE

Recurring conspiracy theory that the "global elites" control and rule the world. After Russia banned wheat exports until July 1 amid the coronavirus pandemic, Georgia received 27,000 tons of wheat from the United States. This triggered speculation and anti-American sentiments that is a continuation of the narrative that Georgia allegedly has no alternative except for Russia and that U.S. aid serves perfidious interests. The imported wheat had nothing to do with Rockefeller Holdings. Speaking with Myth Detector, the Ministry of Agriculture noted that the quality of imported wheat is tested at the border and the information that American wheat contains toxins is a lie.
