Why would a poster called zeitgeister be anything other then a talking stereotype?
I'll reproduce what a smart guy once said because he also had the prestige and experience to make it credible:
Democracy (and capitalism with it) is the worst form of government, except all those that came before it.
And in that 5 min clip on poppies,that's exactly what I was talking about nobody looks at it like a drug, there would be no message sent in doing that. Kids these days

If you dust the cheap poppy seeds with trichoderma spores (new use for your doomed casing perhaps?) and you have soil that isn't too clay-like you'll have almost 100% of them germinate. Of those, 95% of them will take root. Who knows how many will make it, it's a cruel world out there, in nature... but if even at 5%, that's almost 50,000 poppies per each and every pound of seed. LOL Muahahah!

I must be missing something - why would you want to dust your seeds with trich spores?

It helps the roots grow solid, also works with lots of other plants, especially in the potato and hot pepper families. It also kills the nasty poppy blight fungal spores that some spice companies mix in there seeds such as *cough Mccor... cough cough*. The amount they mix in is so little it is in the no need to report it range, but gets the job done. The high amount of fatty acids and antioxidants in the seeds makes them very hard to kill by nuking with radiation, and other methods like autoclave are too time consuming to process that many seeds, so the next best thing is deliberately introduce blight spores... Think of the bright side, if there ever is a full scale nuclear war, there will be plenty of poppy plants to keep the roaches happy. LOL
A simple experiment that proves it is to take a pinch of these and put on a moistened peat seedling pellet, then dust another pinch in trich spores and put on a similar pellet and let sit for a week. The ones that were dusted will sprout and grow at about 40%, the ones that were straight from the bottle will all mold over with a weird white fungus shortly before the others sprout; if any sprout they will soon die.

I wonder why NATO would want to do that?
Could anyone tell me why they might not want to spray the fields?
They want to sell it. The government is the biggest drug dealer of all time.

Or they're worried about the environmental effect...
