Food Crisis goes on, little noticed by Globalizations’ Gladiator

» SamAJPillay - Globalization's Gladiators

This is terrific as a general introduction to world food crises, famines and their causes.

Iraq is at present the most devastating example of how the 'Gladiators' orchestrate want on a grandiose scale. Famine crises are never without their pernicious ramifications. The international film maker, journalist and global activist John Pilger has time and a again made graphic revelations about the nature of imperialist interference in the course of nations.

Pilger points out that Iraq is targeted because it is alone among the Middle Eastern countries with the potential to increase its oil production as it has vast untapped reserves. Today it is denied simple commodities such as graphite for pencils on the grounds that it is a component that could go to make weapons of mass destruction.

Iraq is blighted by various forms of never-before seen radiation illnesses, and widespread want because of its strategic and resource importance and yet, we of the developed world not only overlook our complicity in this manufactured devastation of an entire peoples but continue to support governments that beat the drums of war on the spurious grounds of preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction.

The fact that the United States, Britain and many European countries, as well as Isreal and several lesser nations, possess the real arsenals of mass destruction are glossed over or plainly overlooked.

In the meantime, real people die daily, and by the multitudes, not only from famine but also by its multafarious side effects as we in the 'Western World' head for our banquet tables.

Best Regards,
