"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?
"Amid calls for unity, politics divide UN food conference; At stake in crisis: 1 billion hungry across globe" by Elisabeth Rosenthal and Andrew Martin, International Herald Tribune | June 5, 2008
ROME - It was supposed to be an emergency conference on food shortages, climate change, and energy. At the opening ceremony Tuesday, the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, noted that there were nearly one billion people short of food and called upon countries gathered here to act with "a sense of purpose and mission."
"Only by acting together, in partnership, can we overcome this crisis," he said.
But when the microphone was opened to the powerful politicians who had flown in from all over the world, they spoke mostly about economics and politics.
The US secretary of agriculture, Ed Schafer, talked about the benefits of biofuels and how genetically modified crops could ease world hunger.
Yeah, even though burning our food is stoo-pid and the GMO crops YIELD LESS!!!
If I didn't know better, I'd think the Jew MSM was trying to LIE to us about the PLAN!!!
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil spoke for half an hour about how Brazilian biofuels were superior to the US offerings. The president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, talked about how colonialism had created the food crisis. And President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran spoke of the need to inject religion into food politics.
Everyone complained about protectionism, though not their own.
Yesterday, food specialists as well as many representatives from poor countries wondered whether these divided forces could unite for a solution to a global conundrum: how to feed one billion hungry people....
Unless, of course, the shit stink elites aren't interested in feeding us.
What if they are interested in SOMETHING ELSE, readers?
At the three-day conference held by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, there was a lot of argument about whether the high food prices were caused by the rush to biofuels, protective tariffs, the soaring price of oil, or the distortion of subsidies.
There has been much less talk about donors developing a new kind of aid program that most experts agree is needed: one that invests in developing agriculture in poor countries and that spends less to ship food halfway around the world to feed hungry people.
That is the Globalist CONTROL, right there!
They spent all this time making people dependent, you think they are going to give it back to people?
This is about FOOD as a WEAPON!!!
"The era of food aid is over; there is no more sending food from America to Africa," Kofi Annan, the former UN secretary general, said in an interview.
Annan was in Rome to discuss his latest project, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, a program with several UN agencies to assist African farmers in increasing their output. Donors, he said, need to do more to improve agricultural practice in Africa and Asia by providing tools, fertilizers, seeds, silos, and knowledge.
"Away from the cameras, I am starting to hear the right things," he said, noting that African agricultural productivity has dropped for the past two decades. "I'm hoping they will go home and adopt policies to ensure global food production, on the ground, in Africa, Africa and Asia. It's much more effective."
After two decades of Western "help" to governments, the food yield is LESS?!?!
Pffffftttt!!!
Indeed, officials from many major donor countries said they had been rethinking food aid policies, if only because food prices are now so high and transport is so expensive....
Henrietta Fore, head of the US Agency for International Development, said that transport costs were now soaking up 50 percent of the agency's food aid money and that rising prices of essential commodities such as oil were "eating away at our purchasing power."
Yeah, burning our food for fuel was a GREAT IDEA, huh?
And what a racket, huh?
As the WORLD STARVES, the OIL COMPANIES are GLUTTED to the GILLS!!!!
Been nice knowing you all!!!!
