| Soaring food prices mean stavation and hunger for the poor around the
world. The poor are forced to turn ugly, they protests, demonstrate.
They get angry with shop keepers and government...they become angry
mobs...they take part in lootings and riots. Social order break
down...
This is not Hollywood movies...this scence is repeated in Egypt, Irin,
Africa, Ivory coast, Cameroon, Yemen, Mauritania, Mexico and even in
Italy.
The food shortage is caused by natural disasters. draught, flood, ??
No.
The food shortage is the result of oil producers buying up food for
making fuel.
The soaring prices is caused by speculators who buy up 'commodity
futures' and resell them at skyhigh profit.
Democracy with capitalist economic sytem is breaking down...
Time for the poor to rise up...to mobilize forces to destroy the
system in which the rich and powerful make obscene profit,....
making rice and bread too expensive for the poor.
