Madhura Swaminathan: World Bank and Food Secutity

"There is enough evidence now that the Structural Adjustment Programs initiated by the World Bank have been associated with severe reduction in food subsidies in a large number of countries."

Madhura Swaminathan shares her concerns about the implications of World Bank and the IMF narrow targeting of food subsidies. By reducing the poverty line to an alarming level, the government, under the influence of international financial institutions, abandons millions of Indians to starvation.

Countries like Haiti are at the brink of starvation because of this NWO crap. Haiti could feed its own population before these criminals got involved. The same thing is happening in India, not to mention dozens of other countries that were forced into this agreement. They are capitalizing on a market and starving half the World. It isn't about birth control.

It is programs like American food aid that are the current problem in poorer nations. The aid comes with strings, which state you must buy their product to be eligible. It's the old Standard Oil ploy...you own a large percentage of production and drop the price to clean out the small producers so that you take a larger share of the market (stocks too)...Its just plain sick...and it has to be stopped.

Birth control is where it's at. These hunger tragedies should never have to occur.

There is no doubt that every person alive should have access to sustainable food quantities. However, the problem of overpopulation will really only be solved by making sure that all women on Earth have free access to birth control.

Sadly, tragedies like Darfur must partially be viewed as a thinning of the human herd. May humanity learn from the Darfur, and other, madness, and make sure that all women have access to quality of life improving birth control.

This is a global concern for everyone. It is important for the Worlds population to wake up and end these Imperial Bankers hold on our lives. The question will be how to do it...one answer is to remove our money from their banks and sell their stocks. (for those that have stocks)...of course the stocks will fall if we just pull our money out.
