G7 to the rescue

All these 'make poverty history' etc campaigns have a small but significant flaw in them. You expect the G7 to do anything about poverty? Say they cancel the debt..... what bout the IMF? What bout the multinationals? are they ever gonna stop them controlling African economies? THe answer lies within fighting this system, not working with it. If you expect the G7 to do something about it then ul be waiting for a very long time........maybe even till the year two thousand and NEVER!

maybe not


indeed Brits are responsible:

The Long History of Slavery and Colonialism by British Monarchy throughout the globe still effects the MANY NATIONS previously Taken into Slavery and Turned into a Subject Colony of Britain, with the extensive looting of their resources, etc.

To this day, British Monarchs have not appologogized for thier Crimes Against Humanity in this century.

add to that the 'Green Belt' fascist plot of supporting the worst tyrants of our time into power, namely the Mad Khomeini and his Islamo-Fascist regime of torture, massacres and terror.

Indeed Britain is responsible for world poverty, and infact a long list of appologies are in order.

Start from the Queen, and move down, maybe Britain will be forgiven one day. you never know, until you ask first!

Fair share of Poverty for all.

If you saw "Global Dimming" and looked at The Global Commons Institute website years ago, you might now see that the only hope for survaval is a Global economic crash deeper than 1932 NOW ! and that Depression must last at least fifty years.

We are rapidly destroying the Earth's ability to support Life at any level much more than microbes. George Bush thinks he will go to Heaven as soon as that happens. It is a widespread American disease which will have fatal consequences. The wanton destruction of this Creation will cause God to cancel the Resurrection.
