April 10, 2008 (LPAC)--There is one consistent line on the world food supply crisis from The Economist of London, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal and other British Empire media: we demand genocide. For example, The Economist of London ran an article headlined, "Cereal Offenders," which denounced governments for making any interventions to protect their food supplies. The Economist (March 29-April 4) called this "disincentivizing farmers" from producing for world markets. It castigates India, China and other nations for putting restrictions on exporting grain to the world markets, in order to protect domestic consumption.

Today's lead editorial in the Financial Times of London, "Restocking the Empty Global Larder," reiterates the same theme--protect the markets, and then presents the stock Malthusian line that too many people are eating too much. The article opens:

"Advice for those trying to solve the global food crisis: do not start from here. As governments across the developing world impose export bans on staple foods, further worsening markets, the shortcomings of a system designed around the expectation of plenty are becoming painfully evident.

"The causes are quite simple: principally higher demand from a richer world eating more protein and requiring more feedstock, and restricted supply..."

A feature story on the Malthusian view of the world, as 'too many eaters at Mother Nature's table,' appeared in the Wall Street Journal March 24, as a front page feature, "New Limits to Growth Revive Malthusan Fears." The story stresses that there are too few resources in the world to support a growing population.

In reality, today's food supply breakdown is the result of decades of takedown of agriculture capacity, and British East India Company-type imposition of cash cropping, capped off by the Gorey biofuels craze.
