USA: mother of Terrorism

Imagine, a political terror-organisation blowing up a Jumpojet full ofpeople. Everyone died. A abominable and hateful action, would we undoubtedlysay. But can anyone tell me why, there every year have to die forty million people of hunger and nourishment?

Forty million people is many. Let’s figure that number in jumbojet’s. It would correspond to about three hundred jumbojets blown to parts, every day throughout the year. Well. The point is, there is enough food in the world to feed everybody. But the first ten million die because they do not have the resources to get to this food.

These forty million people die because of what we call legalised, accepted and deliberated terror from the big capitalists, superpower-politics and short-term profit-mongers. This is how it goes, the terror is carried out on two levels: The terror on the small level is often performed by desperate people who see no other methods for changing a unfair system. The terror on the big level is performed by polite and correct gentlemen in suit, attach case and credit card. The terror the rich upper class perform against the poor majority on this planet is the biggest genocide ever committed. This will not last forever.

Well. Consider this: It explodes three hundred jumbojets on this planet every day. How do we stop this?
