HUNGER IN INDIA & THE EVIL EMPIRE

"At a time when its economy is poised to grow at 8.5 per cent this financial year, and with its granaries overflowing and food stockpiles rotting in the open, India is finding it difficult to feed its hungry millions." And The Evil Empire profits...

May 2nd 2010 - Author Devinder Sharma wrote about the fact that feeding the poor of India is a very difficult task. And looking at the criminal cartel* which is at the origin of the suffering, committing suicide and dying of part of the population, one wonders who profits?
Quote Devinder Sharma: "Given the unresolved debate over the percentage of population living in hunger, and all out efforts to reduce the burgeoning food subsidy, feeding India remains a distant dream. In early 2009, when President Pratibha Patil reiterated her government's resolve to bring in a National Food Security Act in a bid to provide every hungry family with 25 kg of foodgrains priced at Rs 3 a kg (or roughly 7.5 US cents), I was very hopeful.
After all, at least 63 years after Independence the government finally takes a vow to feed the hungry. But somewhere at the back of my mind, I was skeptical and kept my fingers crossed, knowing that even the international community had failed to keep its promise of pulling out half the world's hungry by the year 2015. On the contrary, the world's population living in hunger is actually growing. - [snip]
There are already 22 different schemes/programs existing to tackle hunger and poverty. And yet, the number of absolute hungry have only risen. It is time India looks beyond food entitlements, and makes necessary policy changes to turn agriculture not only sustainable but also economically viable. Food security can only be ensured if the focus is on revitalizing agriculture, and proving more income in the hands of farmers. This is important given that India has over 600 million farmers.
It means the government will have to avoid the the recipes that World Bank/IMF impose in the name of poverty alleviation.* Free trade too has added to destruction of millions of livelihoods, and unless India retracts from linking its agriculture with the global economy, removing hunger will not be so easy." - [end quotes] - You can read the rest here at Url.: http://tinyurl.com/355cbvt
The question whether India is facing a food crisis was also written about on the BBC by Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, who is an Indian economy analyst:
"Is India, the world's second most populous nation, facing a food crisis? This question is vexing policy makers and analysts alike even as creeping inflation - around 7% now - is sending jitters through the Congress party-led ruling coalition. To be sure, India has not yet experienced riots over rising food prices that have hit other countries like Zimbabwe or Argentina. But what is worrying everybody is that the current rise in inflation is driven by high food prices.
In the capital, Delhi, milk costs 11% more than last year. Edible oil prices have climbed by a whopping 40% over the same period. More crucially, rice prices have risen by 20% and prices of certain lentils by 18%. Rice and lentils comprise the staple diet for many Indians.
Tax on the poor
Inflation, economists say, is akin to a tax on the poor since food accounts for a relatively high proportion of their expenses. All of which is bad news for ruling politicians because the poor in India vote in much larger numbers than the affluent. Roughly one out of four Indians lives on less than $1 a day and three out of four earn $2 or less.
The rise in food prices, the government says, is an international phenomenon.
But this argument is unlikely to cut much ice with the people." - [end excerpt] - The rest is here at BBC - Url.: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/south_asia/7327858.st
Of course the rise of prices is a major concern all over the world, and it's a group in 'The City' of London (UK) who mainly decides how much people everywhere are going to pay for their food and seeds. One should revisit the Evil Empire in London, to find out who does this to humanity. Does this for the criminal cartel's own power and profit, when millions of human beings keep suffering and dying.
THE EVIL EMPIRE REVISITED
It is a fact that the 'Evil Empire' has devastated hundreds of millions of lives, and we are all complicit, thanks to our government(s), in the ruination of lives and exploitation of human energies. - So, the question is: who are the real criminals and profiteers, for centuries already living in their own 'Vatican' of the finance world, their own 'State within a State'? Whodunit?
Via a friend in London I got years ago the story below, an article with information and facts about the top of the Evil Empire. Facts, which I know 99% of the journalists/editors and 'foreign' or other correspondents, especially in England, wouldn't even dare to report on. They are all ignorant, afraid, or - literally - 'beating around the Bush'. In their war advocating media reigns the silence of the lambs: nobody speaks about the elephant in the room* - or about where the top war profiteers of the Evil Empire's have their stables, their lair.
And that's why most of the people who read this, and who even have visited England and London , apart from those living there, have never seen any of the information below. It isn't in any of our history books anywhere, and for decades we've been fed and brainwashed with the Empire's Hollywood version of reality. Who then - and that is the right question to ask - are those responsible for all the omissions, the lies and propaganda filled history? Who holds the gold, and thus the power?*
And what about all those so called journalists/correspondents which were in more honest times supposed to report about all this to us; the people, whose interests they were expected to keep an eye on and defend? How can and dare they offer and try to 'sell' all the blatant lies nowadays? Parroting among others the government, secret service communiqués or one of the world's worst war propaganda sewers, the BBC, which now stands for: Broadcasting Brown's Crap?
But most propagandists are enslaved and/or 'sold' - and are like too many other people accepting the blame and shame of global massacres, confirming every day that apparently none of those miserable media minions has any decency left. They keep supporting the global genocide by the 'Evil Empire' in London, in their State within a State, as described below. Author Des Griffin was also 'following the money' - as one should to find the crooks.
THE VATICAN OF THE COMMERCIAL WORLD
In the rather unknown and very underreported book Descent into Slavery* by author Des Griffin, in chapter 6, 'The City Of London' is described, and the history of the 'Vatican of the Commercial World' explained. The stables of the 'Evil Empire' herd and it's slaves.
THE CITY
When people think of England, such terms as 'Great Britain,' 'The Queen,' 'The Crown,' 'Crown Colonies,' 'London,' 'The City of London,' and 'British Empire' come to mind and blend together into an indistinguishable blur. They are generally looked upon as synonymous, as being representative of the same basic system. During the 1950s and 1960s the author lived in England (London for five years) without even beginning to realize the vast difference that exists in the meaning of some of the above terms.
When people hear of 'The Crown' they automatically think of the King or Queen; when they hear of 'London' or the 'The City' they instantly think of the capital of England in which the monarch has his or her official residence.
TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE UNIQUE AND GENERALLY UNKNOWN SUBJECT WE MUST DEFINE OUR TERMS:
When we speak of 'The City' we are in fact referring to a privately owned Corporation - or Sovereign State - occupying an irregular rectangle of 677 acres and located right in the heart of the 610 square mile 'Greater London' area. The population of 'The City' is listed at just over four thousand, whereas the population of 'Greater London' (32 boroughs) is approximately seven and a half million.
The 'Crown' is a committee of twelve to fourteen men who rule the independent sovereign state known as London or 'The City.' 'The City' is not part of England. It is not subject to the Sovereign. It is not under the rule of the British parliament. Like the Vatican in Rome, it is a separate, independent state.
IT IS THE VATICAN OF THE COMMERCIAL WORLD.
The City, which is often called "the wealthiest square mile on earth," is ruled over by a Lord Mayor. Here are grouped together Britain's great financial and commercial institutions: Wealthy banks, dominated by the privately-owned (Rothschild controlled) Bank of England, Lloyd's of London, the London Stock Exchange, and the offices of most of the leading international trading concerns. [Such as the British Invisibles, I kid you not]. Here, also, is located Fleet Street, the heart and core of the newspaper and publishing worlds.
TWO MONARCHS
The Lord Mayor, who is elected for a one year stint, is the monarch in the City. As Aubrey Menen says in "London", Time-Life, 1976, p. 16: "The relation of this monarch of the City to the monarch of the realm [Queen] is curious and tells much." It certainly is and certainly does!
When the Queen of England goes to visit the City she is met by the Lord Mayor at Temple Bar, the symbolic gate of the City. She bows and asks for permission to enter his private, sovereign State. During such State visits "the Lord Mayor in his robes and chain, and his entourage in medieval costume, outshines the royal party, which can dress up no further than service uniforms." The Lord Mayor leads the queen into his city.
The reason should be clear. The Lord Mayor is the monarch. The Queen is his subject! The monarch always leads the way. The subject always stays a pace or two behind!
The small clique who rule the City dictate to the British Parliament. It tells them what to do, and when. In theory Britain is ruled by a Prime Minister and a Cabinet of close advisers. These 'fronts' go to great lengths to create the impression that they are running the show but, in reality, they are mere puppets whose strings are pulled by the shadowy characters who dominate behind the scenes. As the former British Prime Minister of England during the late 1800s Benjamin D'Israeli wrote: "So you see... the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes"
(Coningsby, The Century Co., N.Y., 1907, p. 233).
DIPLOMATS ARE NOWADAYS NO MORE THAN OFFICE BOYS
This fact is further demonstrated by another passage from Menen's book: "The Prime Minister, a busy politician, is not expected to understand the mysteries of high finance, while the Chancellor of the Exchequer [Budget Director] is only expected to understand them when he introduces the budget. Both are advised by the permanent officials of the Treasury, and these listen to the City. If they suspect that some policy of the government will [back-fire]... it is no use their calling up British ambassadors to ask if it is so; they can find out more quickly from the City. As one ambassador complained to me, diplomats are nowadays no more than office boys, and slow ones at that.
"The City will know. They will tell the Treasury and the Treasury will tell the Prime Minister. Woe betide him if he does not listen. The most striking instance of this happened in recent history. In 1956 the then Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden... launched a war to regain the Suez Canal. It had scarcely begun when the City let it be known that in a few days he would have no more money to fight it; the Pound would collapse. He stopped the war and was turned out of office by his party.
When the Prime Minister rises to address the Lord Mayor's banquet, he hopes that the City will put more behind him than the gold plate lavishly displayed on the sideboard" (p. 18).
THE BOND SLAVE OF THE "INVISIBLE AND INAUDIBLE" FORCE
History clearly reveals that the British government is the bond slave of the "invisible and inaudible" force centered in the City. The City calls the tune. The "visible and audible leaders" are mere puppets who dance to that tune on command. They have no power. They have no authority. In spite of all the outward show they are mere pawns in the game being played by the financial elite.
HISTORY of the 'CITY'
From the time of William the Conqueror until the middle of the seventeenth century the British Monarchs ruled supreme - their word was law. They truly were Sovereign in every sense of the word.
As British strength and influence grew around the world toward the end of the 1600s the wealth, strength and influence of the elite merchants in the City also grew - only at a faster pace. In 1694 the privately owned Bank of England (a central bank) was established to finance the profligate ways of William III. The bank was financed by a group of City merchants who used William Paterson as a 'front.' The names of the founders have never been made public.
It was at that juncture that the Bank of England and the City began to dominate and control the affairs of Britain. Their influence and wealth grew in leaps and bounds in the century that followed. "The Illustrated Universal History," 1878, records that "Great Britain emerged from her long contest with France with increased power and national glory. Her Empire was greatly expanded in all parts of the world; her supremacy on the sea was undisputed; her wealth and commerce were increased...
BUT WITH ALL THIS NATIONAL PROSPERITY, THE LOWER CLASSES OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE WERE SUNK IN EXTREME WRETCHEDNESS AND POVERTY, HAVING BEEN BLED DRY DURING THE STRUGGLE OF THE PREVIOUS TWENTY YEARS. - [Why? - HR]
It was at this juncture (1815) that the House of Rothschild seized control of the British economy, the Bank of England and the City - and, through their other branches, control of the other European nations.
Prior to this period Britain had developed colonies and outposts in the far-flung reaches of the globe. Having been thrown out of the Western Hemisphere, Britain now concentrated on acquiring and developing additional possessions elsewhere.
During its heyday in the nineteenth century approximately 90% of all international trade was carried in British ships. Other shippers had to pay the Crown royalties or commissions for the 'privilege' of doing business on the high seas. During these years 'Britannia Ruled the Waves' through the domination of the most modern and powerful navy known up to that time.
TWO SEPARATE EMPIRES
To avoid misunderstanding, it is important that the reader recognize the fact that two separate empires were operating under the guise of the British Empire. One was the Crown Empire and the other was the British Empire.
All the colonial possessions that were white were under the Sovereign - i.e. under the authority of the British government. Such nations as the Union of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada were governed under British law. These only represented thirteen percent of the people who made up the inhabitants of the British Empire.
All the other parts of the British Empire - nations like India, Egypt, Bermuda, Malta, Cyprus and colonies in Central Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong and Gibraltar (those areas inhabited by the browns, yellows and blacks) were all Crown Colonies. These were not under British rule. The British parliament had no authority over them.
THEY WERE PRIVATELY OWNED AND RULED BY A PRIVATE CLUB IN LONDON, ENGLAND KNOWN AS THE CROWN.
The Crown's representative in such areas held the absolute power of life and death over all the people under his jurisdiction. There were no courts and no method of appeal or retribution against a decision rendered by the representatives of the Crown. Even a British citizen who committed a crime in a Crown colony was subject to the Crown law. He couldn't appeal to British law as it didn't apply.
As the Crown owned the committee known as the British government there was no problem getting the British taxpayer to pay for naval and military forces to maintain the Crown's supremacy in these areas. Any revolts were met with terrible retribution by the British navy at no cost to the Crown.
The City reaped fantastic profits from its operations conducted under the protection of the British armed forces. This wasn't British commerce and British wealth. The international bankers, prosperous merchants and the British aristocracy who were part of the 'City' machine accumulated vast fortunes which they lavishly squandered in their pursuit of prestige and standing in British Society. Had the wealth been spread out among all the people in the British Isles prosperity would have abounded. [I am not suggesting that this should have been done, the thefts from the exploited should never have occurred to begin with - ralph].
In spite of the wealth of the world flowing into the City the majority of the British people were barely making ends meet. Many were impoverished to the point of despair. The elite lived in regal splendor. The poor British peasants were never given a chance to get a cut of the action.
"TOTAL DISREGARD OR OPEN CONTEMPT DISPLAYED BY THE ARISTOCRACY"
Simon Haxey in "England's Money Lords Tory M.P.," drew his readers' attention to the "total disregard or open contempt displayed by the aristocracy" towards the British people. He also asked, "What part do the colonial people play in the battle for democracy when they themselves have no democratic rights and the British governing class refuses to grant such rights" (pp. 114,115) [we all know the difference between democracy and republics I hope - ralph]
David Lloyd George, a future prime minister, emphasized the power of the City and its total contempt for the "wretches" who were not part of the 'club.' In a 1910 speech he stated: "We do most of the business of the world. We carry more international trade - probably ten times more - than Germany. Germany carries her own trade largely. The international trade is ours. Well, we do not do it for nothing. As a matter of fact, our shipping brings us over a hundred millions (pounds) a year, mostly paid by that wretched foreigner. I'm taxing the foreigner for all I know... You've heard a good deal of talk here, probably, about the exportation of capital abroad. There is no way in which we can make the foreigner pay more... We get the foreigner in four ways by that. The first way we leave to Lord Rothschild..." ("Better Times", published 1910).
About seventy years ago Vincent Cartwright Vickers stated that "...financiers in reality took upon themselves, perhaps not the responsibility, but certainly the power of controlling the markets of the world and therefore the numerous relationships between one nation and another, involving international friendship and mistrusts... Loans to foreign countries are organized and arranged by the City of London with no thought whatsoever of the nation's welfare but solely in order to increase indebtedness upon which the City thrives and grows rich...
THROUGH OWNERSHIP OF A LARGE PORTION OF THE PRESS
This national and mainly international dictatorship of money which plays off one country against another and which, through ownership of a large portion of the press, converts the advertisement of its own private opinion into a semblance of general public opinion, cannot for much longer be permitted to render Democratic Government a mere nickname. Today, we see through a glass darkly; for there is so much which 'it would not be in the public interest to divulge'..." (E.C. Knuth, "Empire of 'The City'", p. 65).
All of the above points were stressed by Roland G. Usher on pages 80, 83 and 84 of "Pan Germanism," written in 1913: "The London and Paris bankers [the international bankers] control the available resources of the world at any one moment, and can therefore practically permit or prevent the undertaking of any enterprise requiring the use of more than a hundred million dollars actual value..."
THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS "OWN PROBABLY THE MAJOR PART OF THE BONDED INDEBTEDNESS OF THE WORLD
Russia, Turkey, Egypt, India, China, Japan, and South America are probably owned, so far as any nation can be owned, in London or Paris. Payment of interest on these vast sums is secured by the pledging of the public revenues of these countries, and, in the case of the weaker nations, by the actual delivery of the perception into the hands of the agents of the English and French bankers. In addition, a very large share, if not the major part, of the stocks and industrial securities of the world are owned by those two nations and the policies of many of the world's enterprises dictated by their financial heads. The world itself, in fact, pays them tribute; it actually rises in the morning to earn its living by utilizing their capital, and occupies its days in making them still wealthier."
In 1946 E.C. Knuth wrote: "The bulwark of the British financial oligarchy lies in its ageless and self-perpetuating nature, its long-range planning and prescience, its facility to outwait and break the patience of its opponents. The transient and temporal statesmen of Europe and particularly of Britain itself, who have attempted to curb this monstrosity, have all been defeated by their limited tenure of confidence.
Obligated to show action and results in a too short span of years, they have been outwitted and outwaited, deluged with irritants and difficulties; eventually obliged to temporize and retreat.
There are few who have opposed them in Britain and America, without coming to a disgraceful end, but many, who served them well, have also profited well" - [end quote]
'THE EMPIRE OF THE CITY'
E.C. Knuth - 'The Empire of The City' is about those who already since a very long time turn the people's slavery, misery and blood, into the criminal cartel's gold. Here's an excerpt from the book by E.C. Knuth, concerning The City. - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/9meqf
They are not only the greedy Manipulators: they are the 'Masters of Hunger' too... They want the whole 'cake' all for themselves...
Starving human beings - or people in general - never count. Never! Only profit and power does. It must have been understood by every logical thinking human being that they really are criminals. There's enough food and space to feed all billions many times over, but they manipulate, lie, and people die.
The result of this 'policy' is quite clear to many on earth: it's either them finishing a big part of us off, or humanity locks them up ... for life.
Either we stop those vultures of mankind:
Or they'll stop humanity...
