Hunger Plagues Haiti and the World
2008-04-25 09:05:00 by Stephen Lendman Consumers in rich countries feel it in supermarkets but in the world's poorest ones people are starving. The reason - soaring food prices, and it's triggered riots around the world in places like Mexico, Indonesia, Yemen, the Philippines, Cambodia, Morocco, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Guinea, Mauritania, Egypt, Cameroon, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Peru, Bolivia and Haiti that was once nearly food self-sufficient but now relies on imports for most of its supply and (like other food-importing countries) is at the mercy of agribusiness. Wheat shortages in Peru are acute enough to have the military make bread with potato flour (a native crop). In Pakistan, thousands of troops guard trucks carrying wheat and flour. In Thailand, rice farmers take shifts staying awake nights guarding their fields from thieves. The crop's price has about doubled in recent months, it's the staple for half or more of the world's population, but rising prices and fearing scarcit...

GUD Reviews: ?Ten Plagues? edited by Ian Donnell Arbuckle and Justin Conwel
2008-01-28 21:30:00 This "Collection of Deadly Stories" sets itself the difficult task of having one short story for each of the plagues in Exodus. The problem is that if it matches the stories and progression too closely, it could seem too derivative or predictable; and if it strays too far, things come off as random, and the inspiration as more of a gimmick.

Tcta, the 3 Plagues, Eskom and my DRIFT
2007-06-01 02:51:00 Tcta is evidently a “new word for water” but in our experience it has come to encompass plagues, toxicity and serious health issues. Essentially, the Lesotho Highlands Water Scheme together with Eskom’s control of both Lake Gariep and the Vanderkloof Dam has resulted in the Orange River, previous sole source of potable water for an entire province, as well as the southern portion of Namibia, has been allowed to rot. Essentially, the imposed flow transactions have been so minor over the past three years, that for the first time in history, the water from the Orange River is no longer safe human consumption. This is affecting all of the riparian subsistance herders, among the poorest of the poor in Southen Africa and includes the following communities: Richtersveld Nama’s; Namaqualand herders from Gudaus, Witbank, Klein Pella, Pella, Onseepkans and the Riemvasmaak Community in the Area below the Augrabies Falls. Advice given has been not to immerse oneself in t...

2007-02-27 11:54:02 ‘Miss You’ - What a fantastic hook; it’s enough to have you dancing around the room chanting, almost religiously, wa wa wa-wah-wa-wah-wa, or something like that anyway. Of course, it’s far from the only catchy riff Keith Richards’ guitar has given the world - I’m thinking ‘Satisfaction’, ‘The Last Time’ (the two stand-out tracks on ‘Out of Our Heads’ - incidentally, the track ‘Hitchhike’ on that album has EXACTLY the same opening as ‘Here She Comes Again’ by The Velvet Underground; there’s a courtcase in there somewhere), ‘Brown Sugar’, ‘Sympathy For The Devil’, etc., etc., etc.. But ‘Keef’ is a funny chap (peculiar, not ha ha). In two seperate interviews I’ve read, he has claimed that Norah Jones is the most promising artist in the world today. Odd, very odd. (more…)
