Fighting For Food

When it comes to AmeriKa, BINGO!!

Another reason for the declaration of martial law, right?

As if this were somehow "planned."

"On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, "National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as national security adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture...."

NSSM 200 similarly concluded that the United States was threatened by population growth in the former colonial sector. It paid special attention to 13 "key countries" in which the United States had a "special political and strategic interest": India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia....

"It is questionable," Kissinger gloated, "whether aid donor countries will be prepared to provide the sort of massive food aid called for by the import projections on a long-term continuing basis." Consequently, "large-scale famine of a kind not experienced for several decades—a kind the world thought had been permanently banished," was foreseeable—famine, which has indeed come to pass."

Sort of gives you a different take on this report, no, readers?

"Red Cross warns of riots over food costs

GENEVA - The Red Cross warned yesterday of a possible surge in "food-related violence" because of soaring prices that are increasing hunger around the world. Most of the debate surrounding the global food crisis has focused on boosting aid to poorer countries, but there is also concern about the potential for violence as people become desperate for food, said Jakob Kellenberger, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Kellenberger said fallout from rising prices has already sparked violence, alluding to food riots that erupted in Haiti, Egypt, and Somalia. The Red Cross would have to shoulder a big responsibility for those affected by conflict, Kellenberger said (AP May 28, 2008)."

They forgot Bangladesh.

Who are they kidding?

The CRISIS is EVERYWHERE -- although the restaurant ads and super-rich buffets, etc, keep 0n coming -- despite so much hunger.

And we KNOW WHY, too!!!
