Is A Food Riot Coming To YOUR Neighborhood?
About 20,000 workers rioted over high food prices and low wages on Saturday close to the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, police said, amid spreading global unrest over soaring grocery costs.
Food riots seem to be happening around the world on a near-daily basis lately. U.N. peacekeepers fired rubber bullets and tear gas at an angry mob that tried to storm the National Palace in the Hatian capital, Port-au-Prince today. Riots began in Haiti last Wednesday and five people have already been killed in the violence.
The UN secretary general has warned that millions of people are at risk of starvation as global food stocks have fallen to their lowest levels for decades. The most acute effects have been seen in Egypt, where thousands of people have resorted to violence due to the unavailability of basic food products such as bread, rice, sugar and cooking oil, and rising food prices. At least 10 people have died over the past two weeks, in riots that erupted at government subsidised bakeries.
Besides Haiti and Egypt, there’s been food riots in 8 African nations, mostly along the western coast, as well as in Mexico, Milan, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Yemen, and the food shortage is just beginning. The poorer nations suffer starvation first and so the riots also start there first, but the food shortage is steadily becoming more widespread.
I’ve posted on this before and I’ll be posting on it again before it’s all done. The world is heading into global famine, and with famine comes war, disease and death. Those of you who live in affluent countries, thank your lucky stars but keep your powder dry, because if this situation isn’t reversed soon, global famine alone is enough to spark a global war. Starvation and plagues go together. Always have and this time will be no different.
Now is a good time to kill off those mice and rats that you’ve been putting off doing. Fleas…..

Damn! I found a dead rat by the stream at the bottom of my garden yesterday and chucked it into the woods behind. Thinking about it now, what a waste! That would have done for Sunday lunch.

PS Most excellent botty parts on that babe of the week although if it was in response to my previous request, please note I am only interested in the aforesaid parts, you can omitt the rest of the woman if you like.

Black Sheep, this is an issue that I’ve been posting about as well. These are the headlines and the warnings being issued all over the world but people don’t believe that it will affect us. I think it can’t help but affect us.

Interesting take on ethanol, etc, etc.

This author makes regular reference to properties of gold, not financial in any way.
These properties were well established, understood, and exploited, thousands of years ago.
These properties also exist for the platinum group metals, - (7 of ‘em).
The Templars were aware of some, and used them extensively throughout Medieval Europe, the Pope became frightened, bingo!.
They learned them by excavations under Solomons Temple, a few years before anyone knew of the Templars existence.
History carries foolish explanations, and fools explaining them, until the true facts are known.
Interesting to see this one played out.
Or will the powers that be extinguish this knowledge like they did before?
Used correctly it could alter civilisation as we know it!
Of particular interest to me is HOW this knowledge was discovered all those thousands of years ago, and by whom! The discovery is not something that one would “happen upon” by accident, it would require a knowledge of nuclear physics.
Oh, well, watch with interest.

Incidently, the sunspots creating global warming are due to recede from about 2012 onwards.
A colder spell is then expected.
All the bollox about carbon emissions, etc is just that, bollox.
A new way to justify more taxes, and more bureaucracy.
BTW, the latest family members of the Rothschilds are heavily involved in promoting CO2 driven Global Warming crap. They are even producing books to brainwash UK kids at school lessons.
Assholes all.
Shoot al gore, the prize asshole.
Open letter to the UN morons.

I ain’t buying the gold bit, Jordon. I read a good part of that first article link, up to the point where this fugitive from LaLa says that we have the technology to make ALL dry land arable, and grow food on it. Oh right, the Gobi, the Sahara, the Poles, the vast frozen areas of northern Canada, Siberia… In the first place there isn’t enough water and the deserts are either too hot or too cold, the temp reaches 140 or the earth is frozen for 10 feet down or more. This guy still believes in Magic and Alchemy. We DO NOT have the technology to make 100% of all dry land arable. Period.

Westerner.
1)The “gold bit” is unrelated to making deserts damp, etc, etc. which was in fact the thrust of my post.
2)Alchemy has a basis that is only now being re-discovered, watch the headlines in a few years, - unless it is suppressed. There is a lot of interesting research going on. Magic is non-existent, it is merely, as-yet, unexplained science. A modern flat screen TV would be magic to someone of 200 years ago. The properties of certain metals may seem to flout the current laws of physics. That’s because we don’t as yet, fully comprehend all the laws.
3)We don’t have to make 100% of land fertile to ease the global food problems, we just have to behave rationally. Using food crops, and therefor agricultural land, for conversion to transportation means, is not rational behaviour. It is irrational behaviour that incidentally your taxes are funding, and is also subject to international complaints to the WTO as we speak.
4)Don’t you think it’s significant that at the same time there are global food shortages, Mesrrs Rockefeller and Gates are involved in a Global Seed Bank in the arctic circle? Something that I posted about a few months ago.
Don’t you also think that it’s significant that Rockefeller, et al, are heavy investors in Monsanto and it’s death-spiral seeds, and a few other global agri businesses?
5)Don’t you also think it is significant that the feed seeds found in civilisations of 6/7/8000 years ago are so far removed from the grass seeds that we supposedly derived them from, and that they are almost identical to the seeds in current use, pre Monsanto. So exactly how many millenia would be needed for mans natural intervention, to get from grass seeds to the seeds that archaeologists are finding?, Well, many more than our current spoon-feed history tells us. Nothing is as it seems, Westerner.
6) You may accuse folks of living in LaLa land, but it carries no weight. There are many junctions in history, where if a different path had been taken, or a lost battle won, life, and very probable science, would be totally different. If he were alive today, Nikola Tesla would vouch for that.
Have a good day, Westerner. I’m not arguing with you, merely pointing out that science increasingly knows more and more about less and less, and this specialisation is unfortunately following the profitability of corporations, not the unhindered pursuit of science for sciences sake. This is not a healthy condition. To follow the above theme, particularly in the EU, because of criminally insane regulations concerning foods, we are deliberately criminalising the use of non-sanctioned fruit and grain species, - we are deliberately, legally, killing bio-diversity. - Hence the seed store in the arctic!
