Food Aid for Africa, Harlem?

Watch out Harlem NY, the genocide in Somalia, and surrounding areas

could be the shape of things to come for you, homeboys.

The continuing stream of news stories in


the international press about the deadly impact of the horrific

food crisis in the Horn of Africa, amount to bragging by the

oligarchic population-reduction advocates, and their lackeys.

The press coverage makes no mention of the fact that the

crisis is the result of 1) no effort having been made, by those

interests who are now talking about the shortage of food aid, to

develop the economies of the afflicted countries, and 2) the

necessity of food-price controls. Instead they pass off the

calamity as a "crisis of nature," for which there is no long-term

solution. The only solution is short-term food aid.

The speculators are creating a frenzy of activity, taking

advantage of the inability of the affected countries to buy

enough food at the already inflated prices, to gamble them up

even higher.

The blood-sucking commodity-price speculators, who engage in

this type of activity by trading Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) in

all types of commodities, have focussed on agriculture

commodities, which has seen the biggest inflow of hot money since

the beginning of the year, compared with all other types of

commodities.

Today there are more factually true horror stories from

Somalia's ``road of death'' as foodless refugees continue to

flee. This, on top of 170,000 refugees already in camps in Kenya

and Ethiopia, some of whom are walking hundreds of miles.

International relief funds and assistance are behind schedule,

including aid from the United States. The UN World Food Program

(WFP) is delaying airlifting food to Mogadishu.

The situation is especially aggravated by the radical

pseudo- Islamist al-Shabab, a self-proclaimed offshoot of the

oligarchic-created al-Qaeda organized crime network.

Al-Shabaab-controlled areas in southern Somalia have barred

outside aid, including the WFP, which it charges as being

political. This activity increases geometrically the number of

people fleeing to Ethiopia and Kenya.
