Millions of Starving Shame the World
If the most powerful world leaders - were competent leaders - serving
"the people", nobody would be hungry in this world of plenty.
======================
Millions of Starving Shame the World, U.N. Says
by Thalif Deen
UNITED NATIONS - Since hunger and famine are still widespread in parts
of Africa and Asia, the international community is in violation of the
right to food as a basic universal human right, according to a new
study released by the United Nations.
Millions of Starving Shame the World
"Despite promises to eradicate hunger, there has been little progress
in reducing the global number of victims of hunger," said Jean Ziegler,
the U.N. special rapporteur on the right to food and author of the
report. ...
"It is a shame on humanity that in a world that is richer than ever
before, six million children due of malnutrition and related illnesses
before they reach the age of five," Ziegler said.

----------------------------------
Quotes from Jean Ziegler:
"In a world overflowing with riches, it is an outrageous scandal that
more than 826 million people suffer hunger and malnutrition and that
every year over 36 million die of starvation and related causes. We
must take urgent action now."
Jean Ziegler, UN Special Rapporteur
In 2003, the international 'aid' received by 122 developing
countries totalled $54 billion; debt repayment from those developing
countries back to the donor countries was a massive $436 billion.
Forty years ago some 400 million people were permanently underfed.
Today, their number has more than doubled - to a staggering 842
million people.

CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN
How the U.S. Uses Globalization to
Cheat Poor Countries Out of Trillions
(A NY Times Best Seller!)
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/31/1546207
Watch/Listen to an hourlong interview with John Perkins, a former
respected member of the international banking community. In his book
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man he describes how as a highly paid
professional, he helped the U.S. cheat poor countries around the globe
out of trillions of dollars by lending them more money than they could
possibly repay and then taking over their economies. John Perkins
describes himself as a former economic hit man - a highly paid
professional who cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of
dollars.
20 years ago Perkins began writing a book with the working title,
"Conscience of an Economic Hit Men."
Perkins writes, "The book was to be dedicated to the presidents of two
countries, men who had been his clients whom I respected and thought of
as kindred spirits - Jaime Roldós, president of Ecuador, and Omar
Torrijos, president of Panama. Both had just died in fiery crashes.
Their deaths were not accidental. They were assassinated because they
opposed that fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads
whose goal is global empire. We Economic Hit Men failed to bring
Roldós and Torrijos around, and the other type of hit men, the
CIA-sanctioned jackals who were always right behind us, stepped in.
John Perkins goes on to write: "I was persuaded to stop writing that
book. I started it four more times during the next twenty years. On
each occasion, my decision to begin again was influenced by current
world events: the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1980, the first Gulf War,
Somalia, and the rise of Osama bin Laden. However, threats or bribes
always convinced me to stop."
But now Perkins has finally published his story. The book is titled
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

The truth will set us free!
(from allegience to corrupt politicians who kiss the asses of the
obscenely rich while pissing on the peasants at home and abroad, and
all the horrificly miserable wars and poverty that they create).

Actually, the Bible tells us that we will be judged partly based on how we
treated the hungry. Hunger is not God's plan, but is man's greed.
