Lets Look Back At Economics 101

⊆ 09:18 by Red Pill | ˜ 0 responses »

Lets Look Back At Economics 101, things to note, ask yourself with so-called policy and rules of whatever theory of economics aside to start with;

Are prices on goods worth more because they're...

A) rare in supply, B) high demand for profitability or C) so-called market controlled increases set in policy of some nature?

Then think and ask, is the actual value of paper money worth alot less, thus these so called bills or notes are needed more of to acquire the power to purchase something with less of these objects called bills or notes, paper money.

Not known widely and not know whether fact or not, some well few get told the Reserve (of most nations) Bank prints more money when we spend more of it, example Christmas time and buying gifts, at this time some businesses put prices right up for large profit on each item purchased whereas others lower prices to acquire more items purchased of there business due to that there lower price beats the competitors prices which are higher. At this time also, such gifts are increased to retails and sales stores, thus the supply appears to have increased based on demand, however what is not known to only a few is that the quantity in supply may always be the same but still with the producer or in storage out the back of a store, thus at Christmas the special on sale signs comes out and so do more products and stalls etc.
Conclusion...
Supply and Demand and a free-market, ha, not always guaranteed. Private Companies: Care of profit over people always, privatization and central banks not owned by there own people teach us the lessons of ultimate loss.

Large Scale War Comin Soon

⊆ 09:55 by Red Pill | ˜ 1 responses »

Russia may have gone to war with Georgia, but in fact it only looks like its a strategic plan to capture some profits from the Caspian Sea Oil pipeline. Not to forget when the U.S invaded Afghanistan they captured and started contracts with the Saudi's for the Caspian Sea drilling contract.

Notice how during this war Oil peaked, sounds like another move for the elite to crash the global economy and set world wide Union's, much like the European Union and the starting appearance of the African Union, since Mugabe's regime in which the U.S won't hang him but did for Saddam Hussein. Lastly on the point of unions, countrys fitting but not members to the European Union will soon join it looks like and more formations of the North American Union and Pacific Union are shaping closer to there goals.

Below is a cheap map someone gave giving three basic colours, yellow representing the Georgia zone and this can go into Iran, and then look to Iran's left and right, U.S occupied places of Iraq and Afghanistan.


















Clearly from the map for a invading force, theres no other directions apart the Gulf and Oman Sea, it appears like Iran maybe next in line for the U.S war of terror (not on on terror) and with China snatching up Trade agreements right now, they're the biggest closest thing to a super power there is, down the list of neighbouring territory would be Pakistan and India and Saudi Arabia (we all know the Saudi and Israeli connection goes deep with the U.S). Not to forget Syria and and Turkey not too far away, though with outnumbered forces Syria would go down eventually and Turkey was helping the U.S with the Iraqi and Afghanistan invasions so a large scale war in the next 4 years or less does seem quite near inevitable.

 

Paper Sold To Pools Of Liquidity

Vast unexploited oil reserves? An economic threat from too much oil? Dark pools of liquidity, threats of hyperinflation from unsound economy and Fed practices, remembering the lessons from The Great Depression, reactionary measures to protect the dollar, An examination of a crisis scenario.






Lindsey Williams, who has been an ordained Baptist minister for 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Transalaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, and because of his concern for the spiritual welfare of the “pipeliners,” Mr. Williams volunteered to serve as Chaplain on the pipeline, with the subsequent full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company. Because of the executive status accorded to him as Chaplain, he was given access to the information that is documented in his book, “The Energy Non-Crisis,” which shows that peak oil is a scam because our domestic reserves in the North Slope of Alaska alone are at least as large as those in Saudi Arabia and are potentially large enough to power the US with domestic oil for two centuries. Recently this year, due to the sensitive nature of his book, Mr. Willians’ life was threatened and he was forced to shut down his web-site and stop selling his books and CDs. At the urging of Dr. Stanley Monteith of Radio Liberty, he called back the same oil executive who had warned him about the danger he would be in if he continued to disseminate certain information to ask if in fact there was any information that he could in fact convey to the public without upsetting the powers that be. The oil executive, who Mr. Williams had known for years, gave Mr. Williams some startling revelations which he could safely reveal to the general public. As you know, the Illuminati are arrogant enough to reveal some of their plans because they believe there is nothing we can do about it.

Basically, Mr. Williams was told that over the next twelve months, from mid-2008 to mid-2009, (1) news of super giant oil fields, ready to produce, would be announced for two locations, in the Northern Slopes of Russia and in Indonesia, which oil fields would together contain more oil reserves than the entire Middle East; (2) that this news would drive oil prices down to $50/barrel; (3) that OPEC countries, especially in the Middle East, would be bankrupted by this price decrease; (4) that this would cause the financing of our foreign trade and current account deficits through purchases of treasury paper by foreign nations with their surplus oil profits to collapse, leading to the collapse of the dollar; (5) that the collapse of the dollar would cause unprecedented financial strife and turmoil in the US, and that it would take many years for the US to recover from this financial debacle; (6) that they (big oil) support John McCain for President; and (7) that US domestic oil reserves would never be tapped, and that any legislation which might allow domestic reserves to be tapped would not be allowed to pass, leaving the US dependent on foreign oil forever.

News of the Russian oil field has been announced just as predicted, but whether the rest happens as stated above remains to be seen. Nevertheless, many of these revelations seem quite feasible, so we thought we would comment on how these revelations might play out under the current financial scenario.

Certainly, if the world’s oil reserves, ready to produce, are increased by an amount equal to the total oil reserves of the Middle East, oil could easily be brought down to $50 per barrel. It would almost be like starting all over again from an oil reserve perspective. This would destroy the economies of countries that are currently giving us trouble, such as Iran and Venezuela, allowing us to defeat them without ever firing another shot. Russia would get less per barrel, but would be selling an awful lot of oil out of their vastly increased reserves, so they would be weakened, but not bankrupted. Nations in the Middle East, whose reserves are rapidly dwindling, would all be destroyed from an economic perspective at first, but the ensuing civil unrest would also eventually topple all Middle East OPEC regimes, allowing the US to move in and take over control of their governments and their remaining oil reserves. Countries such as China, Japan and India, who import large portions of their oil, would get a huge shot in the arm from reduced oil prices, and this would also be a great help to the free trade-globalization agenda, which is being strained by high oil prices because transportation costs are offsetting the advantages of cheap labor.

What we envision happening under the scenario revealed to Mr. Williams would certainly start with the stated reduction in oil prices well ahead of elections. This would produce great joy and relief for the sheople and ignite a huge, worldwide stock market rally just prior to elections, making George Bush and congressional incumbents look a lot better and lending support to John McCain, the stated preferred presidential candidate of big oil. Much lower oil prices would support the dollar and suppress precious metals by reducing inflation by the amount attributable to recent oil price increases, but only at first. The huge rally would give the elitists the chance they were looking for to bail out of paper assets such as stocks, bonds (which would include treasuries) and derivatives at the top of the markets using the dark pools of liquidity known as Project Turquoise and Baikal. The proceeds from the sale of paper assets would then be plowed into real, tangible assets such as commodities, precious metals, real estate, infrastructure, machines and equipment and corporations whose values are heavily weighted in tangible assets, such as resource stocks. The prices of such real, tangible assets would be bought on the cheap due to their ongoing suppression, or at least that would be the Illuminati’s hope, but we see most of these items skyrocketing long before the elitists get their fill of these goodies. Many nations with large forex reserves, like China, Japan and Germany, and especially nations “friendly” to the US, such as Saudi Arabia, who would be hurt by lower oil prices, would be given free reign to invest in tangible, real assets of the US, and this ties in with the cessation of the FTC’s publication of statistics regarding foreign investment in the US as a cover-up for this huge flood of foreign money. These foreign investment reports allegedly were discontinued because such reports cost too much to produce, but essentially this is the same bologna we got from the Fed when they discontinued the publication of M3 to cover up their profligate issuance of money and credit.

All this money pouring into tangible, real assets from the sale of paper assets through dark pools of liquidity outside the view of the public and outside the view of non-insider institutional investors would then ignite a fresh round of wildly spiraling inflation. Such hyperinflation, compounded by direct monetization of treasuries by the Fed to bail out big commercial banks and other financial institutions, including Fannie and Freddie, and to finance burgeoning foreign trade and current account deficits caused by the cessation of foreign investment in treasury paper, would take us to a historical reenactment of Germany’s former Weimar Republic and today’s Zimbabwe. The dollar would collapse, along with our economy, and stock, bond and derivative markets would be devastated. The public, as usual, would be left holding the bag, precisely as happened in the days leading up to the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression.




As an aside, all insiders were warned early in 1929 when to get out (i.e. when the Fed was going to turn off the money and credit spigot) while all non-insiders were left like lambs for the ensuing slaughter. Rest assured that the elitists are planning a repeat of that rip-off, but on a much grander scale. During the Great Depression, FDR outlawed ownership of gold in the US, but elitist insiders were warned of this in advance and moved their gold holdings overseas. FDR then raised the redemption rate for an ounce of gold from $20 to $35, giving the elitist insiders an instant 75% profit, showing that crime does pay, and pay well, when you are a part of the group of reprobates and sociopaths who comprise or support the Illuminati. This type of treatment of public gold holdings will most likely not happen under the current scenario, because US citizens hold very little gold, the gold standard has been eliminated, and most of elitist gold holdings are now held overseas in any case, especially in Switzerland. Also, gold bullion holdings of the US treasury have all been stolen, leased, swapped out or otherwise compromised. That is why our so-called gold “reserves” have not been properly audited since 1954, and why they are referred to as “deep storage gold” in the US Mint’s and Treasury Department’s statements of account. Elitists may use their thousands of tons of failsafe gold, which, incidentally, they have acquired over the ensuing decades either by stealing them from national treasuries or by buying them at fire-sale prices such as the bargains made available through Gordon Brown’s sale of the UK’s national gold at the bottom of the market, to back a new regional currency for North America such as the proposed Amero once the dollar has been destroyed.

Getting back once again to Mr. Williams’ scenario, in order to protect scum-bag incumbents who always do whatever the Illuminati tell them to do because they are bought-and-paid-for or compromised, the elitists would attempt to support the dollar and prevent it from collapsing prior to elections. They would do this by temporarily stemming the flood of foreign investment in tangible, real assets located within the US and by getting certain nations like China and Japan to keep buying up treasuries by giving them sweetheart deals on such future investments in tangible, real assets located in the US, especially on real estate, infrastructure and investment in surviving elitist financial institutions and transnational conglomerates. Many Arab nations would break their dollar pegs, but would delay doing so until after elections based on promises of security for what will be their outgoing regimes once their economies collapse from cheap oil prices. This could be why Paulson and Bernanke are flying around the globe meeting with various heads of state, namely, to arrange all of the above.

Once the new round of hyperinflation got started, the dollar would be destroyed and replaced with a new currency such as the Amero which would be the de facto start up of the North American Union which the elitists continue to vehemently deny is a work-in-progress for the US, Canadian and Mexican governments.

During the ensuing financial conflagration, the elitists would attempt to nationalize many industries, and take control over the regulation of the entire financial sector through the Fed or its super-nasty successor which may well be planned by the Illuminati. Civil unrest may ensue in the US, and this would be used to increase police state powers, perhaps through the implementation of martial law, which has all been set up in the Patriot Acts and the Military Commissions Act. Off to the concentration camps will go all the truth-seeking and truth-disseminating troublemakers while the rest of the sheople are led blindly around with a ring in their nose to wherever the elitists decide to take them. The troublemakers have already been identified by the CIA, NSA, Pentagon and FBI using Project Echelon and scads of illegal wire-taps and other nefarious spying techniques which the Bush Administration has rampantly implemented in pursuance of a surveillance society and Nazi-like police state. The end result that is planned is a corporatist, fascist state that would make Mussolini and Hitler green with envy. Next comes the elimination of the “useless eaters” and the creation of Plato’s vision, which is George Orwell’s “1984″ on steroids, the ultimate worldwide feudal system.

The above scenario is not without its problems, however. Lower oil prices reduce elitist profits, and could put a big hit on struggling elitist financial institutions that are exploiting the Enron loophole and cheap credit from the Fed to save their balance sheets. However, once the Illuminati control the world’s oil, they can price oil as high as they like using whatever excuse suits them at the time, just as they have done for decades. But control over oil in Russia and Indonesia may be problematic, since these regimes are not typically friendly to US interests. Further, confrontations may occur with China, India and other big oil importers who may feel that their continuous supply of oil would be under constant threat if the Illuminists controlled most of the world’s reserves, and some of those big oil consumers may try to cut deals with the bankrupted nations in OPEC as a failsafe against Illuminist control assuming that such bankrupted nations are able to shirk off Illuminist attempts to take them over. This may entail much war and conflict, which the financially strapped US is unable to handle with its stretched-to-the-limit military. Also, civil unrest and protests may get out of control in the US and abroad and the Illuminati may get a much bigger backlash than they are planning. People are going to get wise to what has been done to them, and a good number of them are going to do something about it. Many Illuminists may start to disappear without a trace if people start to get their dander up, and the civil unrest may spiral beyond elitist control. Further, the Illuminati are very vulnerable due to the credit-crunch, asset-backed derivative and real estate debacles plus the inevitable addition of a quadrillion dollar, smoldering caldera of interest rate and credit default swaps. Also, what would happen if certain nations did not cooperate, and started to by precious metals and commodities with their sovereign wealth funds or broke their dollar pegs too soon. It’s not as easy as it might first appear, and we can always count on the forces of “Chaos” to show the same acumen as those in the old “Get Smart” series, so the Illuminati really have their work cut out for them. We believe they will ultimately fail, and that world government will once again become a far-in-the-future objective for the would-be lords of the universe.

If you don’t own gold, silver and their related shares under the Williams scenario, you will quite simply be vaporized.

The rollover process for COMEX gold futures got underway this week, which is why gold is showing some weakness, in addition to lower manipulated oil prices and dead-cat PPT dollar rallies that will soon peter out. This process will be complete by the end of July, and then its Katie-bar-the-door against the explosion in precious metals prices. Earnings will continue to disappoint, the credit-crunch will worsen, bank failures will continue to occur, the dollar and assets denominated in dollars will continue to be shunned, ardent de-leveraging will continue unabated keeping pressure on the stock markets, the real estate market will continue to worsen and derivatives will soon implode as inflation spirals out of control, consumer spending drops into nothingness and real interest rates continue to rise, giving rise to a potential bear market in bonds that could bring the whole Illuminist financial house of cards tumbling down as their main source of power explodes and goes down in flames like the Hindenberg. The Fed continues to be irrelevant because their power over real interest rates is greatly diminished. The Fed’s governors are boxed in and cannot get out, as their European counterparts take rates in the opposite direction the Fed governors would really like to go if it would not stoke inflation in the process. The fraudsters will continue to fail, and the sheople will continue to bail, unless we rise up and do something about it. Throwing out all incumbents would be a good start.

 

Police advise commuters: stay home during blockades in major cities

⊆ 16:39 by Red Pill | ˜ 0 responses »

Police are advising commuters to leave their cars at home tomorrow, or consider taking the day off, during the truck blockade planned for major centres.

The protests against a sudden increase in road-user charges on diesel vehicles are expected to hit Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and other cities between 7am and 10am tomorrow.

Inspector Simon Perry in Wellington said today: "We expect motorists will need to factor an extra 90 minutes delay into their travel time. The CBD will be gridlocked and we're not expecting traffic flow to return to anything like normal until after 10am."

Auckland police are encouraging commuters to either get to work before 7.30 or avoid the streets altogether tomorrow morning.

Inspector Ross Endicott-Davies said 2000 trucks could converge on the city's streets, after travelling down the motorways, by about 7.30am.

He said there would be significant delays that will affect drivers and bus users. He said anyone catching an early morning flight should think about finding accommodation near the airport or leaving early.

 

Petrol Prices - Boycott

⊆ 10:36 by Red Pill | ˜ 0 responses »

LET'S JUST DO IT!!!

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' PETROL FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET PETROL BACK DOWN TO $1.00 PER Litre....hopefully

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this winter, take time to read this PLEASE.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day' campaign that was going around last April or May!

We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy petrol.

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

By now you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.50 is cheap. It is currently $1.90 for regular unleaded.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at $1.50, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

But we CAN have an impact on petrol prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from BP - NZ the biggest price up driver company.

If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of BP NZ petrol buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 20 people. If each of us s end it to at least ten more (20 x 10 = 200) .. And those 200 send it to at least ten more (200 x 10 = 2000 ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over TWO MILLION consumers.


If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 20 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!
Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW THE $1.50 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Simple – send the message along to other and do not buy petrol from BP NZ.

 

World Bank Secret Report confirms Biofuel Cause of World Food Crisis

⊆ 06:51 by Red Pill | ˜ 0 responses »

A secret study by the World Bank, which reportedly has not been made public on pressure from the Bush Administration, concludes that bio-fuel cultivation in especially the USA and EU are directly responsible for the current explosion in grain and food prices worldwide. The US Government at the recent Rome UN Food Summit claimed that "only 3% of food prices" were due to bio-fuels. The World Bank secret report says that at least 75% of the recent price rises are due to land being removed from agriculture—mainly maize in North America and rapeseed and corn in the EU—in order to grow crops to be burned for vehicle fuel. The World Bank study confirms what we wrote more than a year ago about the madness of bio-fuels. It fits the agenda described in the 1970's by Henry Kissinger, namely, 'If you control the food you control the people.'

According to the London Guardian newspaper which has been given a copy of the suppressed report, the World Bank study was completed in April, well before the June Rome Food Summit, but was deliberately suppressed as "embarrassing to the position of the Bush Administration." The President of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, is a former top Bush Administration official. Washington is trying to use a crisis which its bio-fuel subsidies created, since a new Farm bill passed in 2005, to advance the spread of Genetically Manipulated Organisms such as GMO maize, soybeans, rice and other crops patented by Monsanto and other "gene giants."

Their strategy is to use the explosive rise in grain prices worldwide, a rise fuelled by hedge funds and troubled US and European banks and investment funds pouring billions of dollars into speculation that grain prices will continue to soar. In other words, the food "crisis" is a crisis of speculation in food futures. The planned EU and USA bio-fuel acreage quotas and the periodic droughts and floods in key growing regions such as the USA Midwest then provide backdrop for speculative price run-ups. But the main driver is that tens of millions of hectares of prime agriculture land in the world's two largest food export regions—the USA and the EU-- are being permanently removed from food production in order to grow raw material to be burned for vehicle fuel.

The suppressed study

The World Bank study, the most detailed analysis of the global food crisis so far, concludes that bio-fuels have forced "food prices up by 75%." That is far more than previous estimates. That is a damning refutation of the politically-motivated US Department of Agriculture estimate that plant-derived fuels add only 3% to food prices. The report is expected to increase pressure on the European Union governments as well as Washington to change their present bio-fuel subsidy and support policies.

The report has been leaked just days before the important annual Group of 8 industrial nation leaders' summit held in Hokkaido Japan. The food crisis will be a major topic there as pressure on governments grows to do something.

The World Bank report estimates that doubling and tripling of world food prices in the past three years have forced an added 100 million people below the poverty line. That has triggered food riots from Bangladesh to Egypt.

The report as well calculates that even the successive droughts in Australia and other major food regions have had only a "marginal" impact on food prices.

Within the EU, for example, as of April all vehicles in the UK must contain fuel with at least 2.5% bio-fuel. The EU has in place a target of mandatory 20% by 2020, a staggering amount.

George W. Bush has cynically claimed higher food prices are merely due to higher demand from India and China. The leaked World Bank study refutes that: "Rapid income growth in developing countries has not led to large increases in global grain consumption and was not a major factor responsible for the large price increases."

"Without the increase in bio-fuels, global wheat and maize stocks would not have declined appreciably and price increases due to other factors would have been moderate," the World Bank report states. The basket of food prices examined in the study rose by 140% between 2002 and February 2008. Higher energy and fertiliser prices accounted for an increase of only 15%. Bio-fuels have been responsible for a 75% jump over that period.

The study demonstrates that production of bio-fuels has distorted food markets in three main ways. First, it has diverted grain away from food for fuel, with over a third of US corn now used to produce ethanol and about half of vegetable oils in the EU going to production of bio-diesel. Second, farmers have been encouraged to set land aside for bio-fuel production. Third, it has sparked financial speculation in grains, driving prices up higher.

The real agenda behind the food crisis

The World Bank study is the first to include all three factors. What is missing from the World Bank study however is the longer-term geopolitical agenda behind the present global food and energy crises. As I document in great detail in my book, Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation, the long term agenda of powerful leading circles in the West, particularly represented in tax exempt private foundations such as the Rockefeller, Ford and Gates foundations and the private wealth behind them, is a long term agenda of population reduction, in the interests of the global economic and financial elites.

Food scarcity, higher prices for basic foods in developing countries as well as control of food seeds through patent and Terminator suicide seed sales by Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont, Dow, BASF, Bayer and a few select agriculture chemical seed giants—the "horsemen of the GMO Apokalypse," have been developed to advance the agenda of massive depopulation of the developing world.

The policy goes back, as the book documents in detail, to the early years of the 20th Century when Rockefeller, Carnegie, Harriman, Gamble, H.G. Wells, Margaret Sanger, and other wealthy circles backed the development of eugenics research. The Rockefeller Foundation financed the eugenics and forced sterilization research at the Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (today's Max Planck Institute) until it became too politically hot in 1939.

. After the end of the war, Rockefeller and others in the eugenics movement decided for political reasons to change the name of eugenics. The new name they chose was "genetics." GMO is a project, based on wrong science, financed with over $100 million of private money from the Rockefeller Foundation. The ultimate aim is for the first time in history to control life on the planet. As Henry Kissinger put in during the 1970's food crisis, "control the food and you control the people."

In this light it is worth noting that as a solution to a crisis which it deliberately created by its massive government subsidies to farmers to grow bio-fuels instead of food, the Bush Administration made and continues to make a major pressure at the Rome Food Summit in early June and after, to open the doors to GMO as the alleged "solution" to world hunger.

On June 13, just after the Rome UN Food Summit, John Negroponte, US Deputy Secretary of State, stated, ""We therefore are strongly encouraging countries to remove barriers to the use of innovative plant and animal production technologies, including biotechnology," adding, "Biotechnology tools can help speed the development of crops with higher yields, higher nutrition value, better resistance to pests and diseases, and stronger food system resilience in the face of climate change." Washington and the GMO companies now use the more deceptive term, "biotechnology" instead of the controversial GMO term, in a linguistic ploy to overcome opposition.

Independent scientific studies and countless farmer reports have shown that long-term planting of GMO or bio-tech crops as the gene giants prefer to call it, far from giving higher crop yields, lowers the yields and development of resistant "super-weeds" usually mean more, not less Roundup or other GMO-paired chemical herbicides and pesticides are needed. In short the glorious claims for GMO are marketing fraud.

According to highly informed reports, Washington had been told that Pope Benedict XVI would endorse the spread of GMO, something the Vatican until now has been strongly opposed to on moral and other grounds, as a solution to world hunger. At the last minute that endorsement did not happen for reasons only the Pope perhaps knows. Groups like Greenpeace and the London Independent newspaper in the days before the Rome UN summit reported interviews with senior Church figures stating that the policy reverse was expected.

There is strong circumstantial evidence that the entire Rome UN Summit was orchestrated by Washington, London's Gordon Brown and other Malthusian governments in part to try to convince the Pope to reverse its policy on GMO. The Roman Catholic Church today stands as one of the most important moral barriers to widespread acceptance of GMO in many developing countries such as the Philippines and Latin America.

The leak of the World Bank report adds a dramatic new element into what is becoming one of the major political issues along with oil price manipulation.
