Humanity Is In Mortal Danger
--Global Food Crisis

"Instead of Wars of Starvation, Let Us Double Food Production"

May 3, 2008 (LPAC)--The fiery letters of an unprecedented human catastrophe already stand flickering on the wall, and it will be fatal for the world as a whole, if we do not succeed immediately, in the coming days and weeks, to declare globalization a failure, and to set everything into motion to double agricultural production capacity in the shortest possible time!

This is of the utmost urgency: Since October 2007, there have been food riots in over 40 nations. According to Rajat Nag, managing director general of the Asian Development Bank, 1 billion Asians (!) are already at serious risk from the hunger crisis, and in Africa, Ibero-America, and among the poor on the other continents, an additional 1 billion face the same fate. But according to Jacques Diouf, head of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), since December his organization has been unable to raise 10.9 million euros (!) in order to purchase seed for poor farmers in developing countries. The rich states are simply not willing to support the developing countries with money, seed, and investment in infrastructure, Diouf told an FAO conference on Latin America in Brasilia in mid-April.

Jean Ziegler, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, pointed to an additional aspect of the crisis; namely, that the use of food for biofuels is a ``crime against humanity.'' In order that we might fill our gas tanks with ethanol with clear ecological conscience, people in the Third World must starve (and also die). Speaking of the resulting food riots, Ziegler said, ``These are riots of utter despair by people who fear for their lives, and who, nagged by deathly fear, take to the streets.''

And that's only the beginning. Because, as long as the current policy of the ``rich'' nations--i.e., the free-trade doctrine of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the European Union Commission, and so one--continues, the food cartels and speculators will take advantage of the conditions created by the escalating systemic crisis of the world financial system, to maximize their profits and to feed price inflation, without the farmers reaping any benefit therefrom. And if the world's central banks continue their practice of using tax revenues in an attempt to make up for the speculative losses of private banks, then we are going to see hyperinflation like Weimar Germany spread around the globe.

Under these circumstances, the entire planet will be swept by the storm winds of food riots, until humanity descends into a new dark age of chaos, gang warfare, and climbing death rates--or, until justice and life with human dignity is established for all human beings on this planet.

In the U.S. Declaration of Independence--which the Schiller Institute's founding conference in 1984 adopted as its charter by making it applicable for all nations of this world, by just a few wording changes--it says:

``We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.''

This Declaration of Human Rights must hold true still today--for all human beings on this planet. What we need today, is men and women who fight with passion and love for the idea of a just world order, one in which the community of nations can live together in peace and human dignity. Life, Liberty, and Happiness mean, above all, that all people have enough to eat and that poverty is abolished--something which we have all the technological means to bring about. Whether we can make this vision into reality, or whether we instead speed humanity into collapse, is how each one of us will be measured by history.

Well this sucks - why can't the elite just be good people for once without greed or corruption? :(

Monetary system is wack

The devil is losing and at the end will be judged for all the crimes. Live and act in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the prison and deception of devil. Through Jesus Christ everybody can do a change for the better.

If you can't hunt or grow your own food you're gonna starve. This will be due to your own ignorance. Should we go global. H' no we will starve. History repeats itself. Look at what happened to Rome when they went global. They were starved out into the killing fields of their enemies. I'm about to quit paying taxes with this B.S. Government. If they need power let them volunteer. Oh wait they will just insider trade for my money anyway. Let's go to the "RES". That is if you're not a foreigner.

@REDRAGGINVATO14 No, nigger-animals like you WILL BE FIRST!

[AmericanHero911]

@thatswhatisaidyeah lol there's not much choice, chase dreams, die trying to stop them or die watching them. Do the math.

[thatswhatisaidyeah]

@AmericanHero911 Completely wrong, and what you claim will never happen. The Elite CANNOT and DON'T WANT to restructure anything. So, your wishful thinking goes for absolutely nothing. Sit back, or be active, and watch the world finish completely going to hell.........

[AmericanHero911]

@thatswhatisaidyeah angels can fall and they can also rise like a phoenix at dawn!

The Elite can turn good and restructure the entire operation any time they wish.

There are other ways to gain power and that is be world unity.

[thatswhatisaidyeah]

@AmericanHero911 The Elite can't be "good", because the current world structure was built on and operates on evil. If you were an elite in the current world system, you would inherently have to be evil. Anybody would....

@DIHORY I wonder... How many are willing to die for that reason? Is there anyone else here who is suicidal?
