European collapse…Food insecurity explodes to 150million

Greetings,

   There is no doubt that this world is crashing and burning. Europe is in deep trouble. She is under the economic gun just as her sister America is. The reason being is, they won’t leave other nations alone and go back to Europe.

  This is divine justice. As Europe spreads poverty across Asia and especially Africa, she must now taste the delightful dish that she has faithfully cooked for other nations to taste. It is a dish best served cold.

   She exploits and wars on Africa. She occupies territories in Africa, Asia, The Middle East, and in South & Central America , refusing to pack up and go home. The reason for the mindset, and this she well knows, is that contrary to all of her talk of white supremacy and anglo domination….” “Every man must go to his own.” This is the clearest and most direct justice that God and man could agree upon.

  The white man cannot live in luxury unless he has the Black man and his place of possession in subjection of his will.”–pg.185(tfoa)

  For their economies to be maintain and for their lives to rich, they must have the rich resources of Africa and these other lands. They must exploit the cheap labor. They must divide these people up to prevent them from doing for self which would be in competition to their economies.

  But today they are starting receive just as they have given. Unemployment is rampant. Homelessness is everywhere across the European continent.

   They is a growing divide between the governments and those whom they are supposed to represent. We see rebellion everywhere. There are signs of great civil strife and the threat of civil war. And on top of all of these things, poverty has exploded to new depths and new height both at the same time. 

Up to 150 million in Europe threatened with poverty

In a report released September 12, the Oxfam aid agency warns that the poverty trap in Europe, which already encompasses more than 120 million people, could swell by an additional 25 million if austerity policies continue.

The report, A cautionary tale: Europes bitter crisis of austerity and inequality, notes: “The European Union is in a bitter crisis of unemployment and inequality that is driving economic instability and social despair,” adding that “One in two working families has been directly affected by the loss of jobs or reduction of working hours.”

The report continues: “Already by the end of last year, more than 24 percent of Europe’s population, 121 million people, were living at risk of poverty. We predict that number could rise by up to 25 million by 2025 unless austerity policies are scrapped and an alternative course set.”

The report compares the austerity policies introduced by the European Union (EU) and IMF in the wake of the Lehman Brothers crash in 2008 to “a medicine that sought to cure the disease by killing the patient.”

The Oxfam report then goes on to identify the manner in which austerity policies have resulted in a massive redistribution of wealth within the past five years. The wealthiest layers of the European elite and finance world have been able to profit mightily from the same crisis that has cast tens of millions into poverty.

“Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the UK—countries that have pursued budget cuts most aggressively—are soon reaching the rank of most unequal countries in the world”, the report declares. According to Natalia Alonso, the head of Oxfam’s EU office: “The gap between rich and poor in the UK and Spain could soon become the same as in South Sudan or Paraguay”.

The effect of austerity policies has been to devastate the economies of many countries across the continent, in particular those situated in southern Europe. A separate study states that the relative share of southern Europe in the global economy will halve to about 6 percent by 2018 compared to around 12 percent in 1980.

Parallel to the process of soaring profits for the banks and stock markets, the wages and purchasing power of working families in Europe have been slashed.

During the period 2010-2012, real wages in the UK and Portugal fell by more than 3.2 percent, with the real value of wages in the UK back to the level recorded in 2003. Italy, Spain, and Ireland also recorded decreases in real wages over this period, with Greece occupying first place with an average fall in real wages of more than 10 percent.

The corollary of such an onslaught on incomes and jobs has been a dramatic increase in child poverty and also the spread of poverty to those in work who fail to earn enough to cover their basic living costs….More here
