This massive rural migration will attract new service industries. Overall, it is calculated that employment opportunities, in terms of full time jobs, will increase around 55%; somewhat higher than was evident prior to tariff removals. In the US it will restore the labour imbalance caused by 15 million illegal migrants, with many returning to Mexico and other countries of origin, to enjoy the restored regional economies. Terrorist organisation La Raza will die a natural death. The consequential regeneration of the Domestic Production Cycle will be a new dynamic injected into manufacturing and commerce generally, with expanded consumer incomes enabling adequate producer profits; which will discourage outsourcing and off-shoring. And, of course, because tariff restoration automatically removes the unfair competition of foreign corporate imports, both farming and manufacturing prosper. For the first time, migrant intake will actually be needed to mitigate labour shortages. A cumulative effect of rural migration will be greatly reduced demand on city water catchments; important factors in Australia and on America's west coast and south-west. (2) Democratisation of national and international governments All of the listed causes of the food crisis; and in fact, almost every other crisis, is due to the political myth that the act of electing a corrupt politician to do our thinking for us, and to determine our futures for us, constitutes democracy. It does not.
Democracy is government of the people, by the people, for the people. Anything else is simply not democracy.
What we do have now is representationalism, and we are currently experiencing the hideous product of that propagandised ideology... corruption, exploitation, pollution, poverty, famine, war and genocide. It will get much worse.
In the modern context, democracy is government by informed electoral consensus. In other words, the electorate decides the general direction and thrust of policy. Those citizens, who wish to become involved in details of implementation, have every right to do so and many will.
But it must be firmly understood by everyone, that no such government exists today; but many existed prior to the 9th century; prior to the Vatican takeover of Europe. This is a history that we need to catch up on, especially the social and economic organisation of the Finnish and Irish of that period; and the role of the Irish Monks.
Today, each nation's people must take whatever steps are necessary to install genuine democracy; and books and papers are available to guide the architects. Contrary to hierarchic propaganda, implementation is not difficult; and any instance of successful referendum demonstrates just how simple it can be.
Once again, Australia can point to an illustrative example: the 1967 referendum in which 90% of Australians voted to give Aborigines the same population status as other citizens. Although the so-called political representatives were utterly divided on the issue, the electorate had had a decade to discuss the implications and experienced no difficulty whatsoever in deciding; in spite of the media muddying the waters.
Finally, each nation's votes in the United Nations must echo plebiscites of each entire national adult population. The current practice of corrupt government leaders appointing retired cronies to represent nations is probably one of the most appalling scandals in history. It is envisaged that a democratised UN will quickly dismantle the Security Council, the World Bank, the World Trade Organisation, the IMF and the BIS. If there were genuine representation on the UN, they would do this forthwith, and so save millions of lives.
