INFOWARS

“Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.” - Henry Kissinger, transcribed from a tape made by a Swiss delegate at the Bilderberg Meeting on May 21, 1992 in Evian, France.
Did you notice IMF chief Dominique Strauss–Kahn and the World Bank’s chief Bob Zoellick creating global panic by warning of famine, social unrest and war stemming from the world food tightness? Kahn was headlined last April 12 and Zoellick on April 13, setting the tone for media to go into a spin connecting hunger to population explosion, environment and “errant” Third World governments. It should dawn on people that the alarmism of these two multilateral financial institutions’ chiefs they who could have prevented such food crises in the first place, but did nothing. The IMF and WB are rightly accused by international anti-IMF-WB movements of causing this problem by decades of their “structural conditionalities” in exchange of loans.
IMF and WB structural conditionalities usually consists of: eradication of subsidies for Third World peasants (Europe and U.S. subsidizes farmers by over $ 1-B a day); trade liberalization, removal of tariffs on importation of agricultural products (drowning local farmers in subsidized imports); privatization and sabotage of public infrastructure (such as hydro-electric facilities and irrigation), combined with other conditions such as encouraging export crops such as black pepper or cut flowers. Implemented over a decade or two these result in massive failures in domestic agriculture as we have seen in the Philippines in the rice, corn, garlic, onion and other crop sectors.
There is enough land and resources in the world to feed the global population today thrice over. The vast, under-populated African continent many studies show could be the world’s breadbasket. The Philippines still has large tracks of arable low and uplands. If the Israeli deserts could be made productive, nothing prevents Filipinos from doing the same with their plains, hills and valleys - except by the sabotage by Western-controlled leaders like Cory Aquino. Marcos has imported thousands of mini-hydros to set up on upland sites for mini-dams as mountain rivers and streams rolled down, but Cory Aquino stopped the program and allowed those mini-hydro units and the program to rot.
To obfuscate Cory’s sabotage such as the cancellation four major irrigation dams and her CARP law requiring irrigation funding to be sourced from ODA and recovered “Marcos wealth”, they raise the Marcos bogey. Likewise on Estrada who did a lot for food security such as: appoint an agriculturist Wiliam Dar to the DA (now in an international agri project in India); offer up to P 100-M prize to communities that achieve high agricultural production, set up the carabao breeding program (Urdaneta Mayor Amadeo Perez last April 16 raised the alarm on declining carabao numbers in Pangasinan). Yet Edsa Dos writers like Billy Esposo et al, continue demonizing Erap with the concocted cases instead.
To comprehend this sabotage of Third World nations’ food security by multi-lateral agencies, look at the global pattern. In Haiti the vastly popular President Jean Bertrand-Aristide was deposed twice for resisting IMF conditionalities. Leaders and countries that try to ensure the people’s basic needs like Myanmar or Cuba, are demonized and pressured with embargoes to stop them. The Henry Kissinger quote above summarizes the truth that goes on behind the façade of songs and dances before global media: longstanding Western imperialist oligarchs are scheming to keep control of the world.
If millions die of famine or war to maintain world control, the oligarchs shed no tear for to them the masses are teeming amoebas (including you, me and our families). As Kissinger said Bilderbergers: “… an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil.” “Real or promulgated” threats, and “world leaders” who are they who have the money have three faces: “The Bilderberg Society is the most secretive of the three main organizations set up to bring about a One World Government, with the other two being the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission” as website describes.
The usual tactic to dispel this truth is to call it “conspiracy theory” because, as J. Edgar Hoover said: “The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous - he simply cannot believe it exists.” It is not in the experience of ordinary folks and therefore such malevolence of power is inconcievable; but to those who have seen power in operation and conspiracies in action even at smaller, local levels, it begins to be wholly comprehensible. Although ordinary folks can be educated to understand the mainstream media prevents this and promotes ignorance of people. New York Times editor John Swinton at the turn of the last century said of the U.S. independent press to a group of journalists honoring him:
“There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print…. We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” The same should be said about the Philippine mainstream media, but we in the alternative media can claim otherwise just as this column is always lashing out at the rich and powerful in Philippine society. The only reason why Tribune cannot print more copies is because it has few rich advertisers, unlike the mainstream newspapers.
The global and Philippine crisis is being pushed towards chaos, then Western intervention can enter just like in Haiti for direct control. The only measure against this is the nationalist response – establishment of a genuine republican government of, for and by the people –independent and sovereign by investing national resources for infrastructure for food security, modern energy and fuel sources, public education, health and scientific development (not for debt payment). That’s where countries like China, India, Russia and smaller Vietnam and Malaysia are going. These countries shall be under attack after the weak ones like the Philippines are totally controlled for used as launching pads for global war in the EuraAsian continent.
