April 14, 2008 (LPAC)--In the face of the growing threat of mass starvation caused by the hyperinflationary rise in prices of basic food, and absolute food shortages, especially in poor countries throughout the world, Democratic statesman Lyndon LaRouche today issued the following preliminary policy guidelines for action:

* Every nation must have the right to self-defense against famine, contrary to the genocidal free trade dictates which have been imposed by the IMF and World Bank. This means the right to carry out export controls, nation-to-nation agreements, and whatever price-fixing measures which may be required to guarantee sufficient food to its people.

* A coalition of nations must come together to immediately put measures into effect that will increase food production, and make it available to countries in dire need.

* The biofuel policy pushed by British agent Al Gore must immediately be reversed. This policy is currently wresting food from the mouths of the poor, by using up to 12 percent of the world's corn harvest, and a large portion of wheat crop as well, as fodder for wasteful, inherently uneconomical biofuels. Such a policy, coming on top of the British East India-style policy of free trade and market-based production, means inevitable mass death.

LaRouche pointed to the latest study of Executive Intelligence Review as defining the scope of the problem, and parameters for its solution.
