Poverty is fundamentally against Human Rights, people have the right to live in dignity, and poverty is not unavoidable, for example, Zimbabwe's devastation is because of the abuses caused by the government

The German state today systematically uses torture and assassination to shut down everyone complaining immediately. Examples are Heiner Gehring ( author ) or Uwe Barschel. My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during five and a half years and then was assassinated. Because of our book and homepage linked on my channel. Anybody who dares to tackle the German human rights abuses?

"It's not religion against religion or country against country ...it's people who want PEACE against people who want WAR!!"

Governments need to be AWARE that 'Human Rights are at the Heart of the Sollution' !!!

Very strong words.....!!

If the world spent as much money on helping people as it does manufacturing devices to kill people, there would be no poverty....but big business needs poverty and conflict to generate profits-profits that do not help the needy in any way. Stopping the cycle of the rich getting richer thru the suffering of the poor is what we must aspire to.
