"the powerful willed the 2008 financial and 2010 Food Crisis to bankrupt the middle class and starve the third world.
Full Unemployment and a Food Crisis are on track for 2010.
The impending Food Crisis didn't start in 2008, 2002 or even 2000 but in 1973.
In 1973, President Richard Nixon and the rest of the U.S. government, did not promote environmental alternatives to our dependence on fossil fuels but instead came up with Biofuels and a plan to pay Archer Daniels Midland Corporation to turn 450 pounds of corn into the fuel for the 25-gallon tank in our SUV.
The small LCD at the gas pump should show an emaciated person starving to death because the food he needed to survive is being burned up so you can drive your car to the mall.
"It is a crime against humanity to convert agricultural productive soil into soil which produces food stuff that will be turned into Biofuels," says Jean Ziegler, the U.N. special Rapporteur. [2]
Dr. Pimentel, Cornell professor and White House advisor, has warned every administration since Richard Nixon that ethanol and biofuels could not be a solution to the oil crisis because:
Over 140% more energy-mostly high value oil and natural gas, is expended to produce a gallon of corn ethanol than is in the ethanol itself. [3]
Since the advent of biofuels, the global emergency food grain reserves have shrunk from a marginal 120-day supply to a critical 57-day buffer in 2006 and now, according to some sources, a zero-day supply in 2009. [4]
When the emergency food grain reserve had a 57-day buffer, the poor in the Third World were, according to UN FAO and WHO statistics, starving to death at the rate of between 25,000 and 40,000 each day. [5]
