THIRD WORLD FOOD TIME BOMB

A genuine demographic time bomb has suddenly made its appearance on the international stage: famine, one of the original Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Industrialized nations such as the United States and Europe are experiencing sudden food price hikes, but the peoples of the Third World cannot feed themselves at all and they are beginning to riot. It's Watts written large.

The International Herald Tribune reports: "Hunger bashed in the front gate of Haiti's presidential palace. Hunger poured onto the streets, burning tires and taking on soldiers and police. Hunger sent the country's Prime Minister packing. Haiti's hunger, that burn in the belly that so many here feel, has become fiercer than ever in recent days as global food prices spiral out of reach, spiking as much as 45 percent since the end of 2006 and turning Haitian staples such as beans, corn and rice into closely guarded treasures."

"That anger is palpable across the globe. The food crisis not only is being felt among the poor, but also is eroding the gains of the working and middle classes, sowing volatile levels of discontent and putting new pressures on fragile governments. In Cairo, the military is being put to work baking bread as rising food prices threaten to become the spark that ignites wider anger at a repressive government. In Burkina Faso and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, food riots are breaking out like never before. And in reasonably prosperous Malaysia, the ruling coalition was nearly ousted by disgruntled voters who cited food and fuel hikes as their primary concerns.

"Indeed, as it involves "developing nations" (how long does it take them to develop???), the spike in commodity prices - the biggest since the administration of Richard Nixon - has pitted the globe's poorer south against the relatively wealthy north, adding to demands for reform of rich nations' farm and environmental policies. But experts say there are few quick fixes to a crisis tied to so many factors, such as strong demand for food from emerging economies like China's; rising oil prices; and the diversion of food resources to make biofuels."

A large part of the rising oil prices is due to the insane occupation of Iraq by the United States, which Bush has just announced will continue past January 2009, so that it will be left to his successor to take the responsibility of withdrawing. If that successor is any one of the other ultra-Zionist contenders there will be no withdrawal and frankly, most likely no withdrawal at all, since Israel wants American troops in the Middle East in order to protect it against an Iranian attack. Oil companies are also blaming the "diversion of food crops to make ethanol fuel," although that's odd--no one seems to be able actually to see any ethanol fuel being produced or put into use.

Rising food prices and rioting in the Third World means that it will become increasingly difficult for the neocons to maintain their stooge governments in places like Indonesia, Malaysia, Africa, and parts of the Muslim world. It will also mean increasing starvation and unrest in the non-White world population. It will also increase pressure on the part of the Third World masses to try and force their way into the remaining White-controlled and therefore food-producing parts of the world such as the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia, rather like in Jean Raspail's classic novel The Camp of the Saints.

The result of food shortages have global ramifications - the result of the Globalists drive for a "One World - One Race" Earth......and nature is exacting its revenge!
