Bread. For Egypt’s middle classes it is breakfast, lunch and dinner. In Egyptian Arabic it is known as “aish” which means both bread and life.
For many Egyptians the flat, round bread is also becoming a symbol of the country’s inequalities.
Rocketing global commodity prices and failing domestic supplies have made this staple food unaffordable for 20 percent of the country’s 76 million inhabitants.
The Middle East’s most populous country is not alone in these problems. The UN warned economic turmoil could hit many of the world’s poorer countries as global inflation spirals — but with 40 percent of the population living near the poverty line, the price rise has struck particularly hard.
Earlier this week, in the gritty industrial city of Mahalla al-Kobra, northern Egypt, a teenager was killed during two days of violent clashes between residents and police.
The protesters, who are enraged by low wages and rising prices, also tore down a billboard of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak.

currently 36 country are refusing to sell food, many others cannot afford food. Hati has eatten its seeds for next years crop. Buy food. Buy rice and wheat. They soon will be more valuable then gold. If you have all the world and don’t have food for yourself or your family. you would trade it for a cup of rice.

“Ahhh…let the population reduction project begin” say our elitist “leaders”. The UN, World Bank et. al. have NO INTENTION of fixing this problem since it is the most efficient means to their goal of global population reduction…starting with the poor and working its way up.

In the bible it says that in the end times a loaf of bread will cost a day’s wages. I think we are in the start of that. If this whole financial system comes crashing down, gold and silver will be worthless since they will go completely with the new cashless system, and with only electronic means to pay, gold and silver will be worth nothing.

The eastern world it is explodin’,
violence flarin’, bullets loadin’,
you’re old enough to kill but not for votin’,
you don’t believe in war, what’s that gun you’re totin’,
and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin’,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
Don’t you understand, what I’m trying to say?
Can’t you see the fears that I’m feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no running away,
There’ll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it’s bound to scare you, boy,
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
Yeah, my blood’s so mad, feels like coagulatin’,
I’m sittin’ here, just contemplatin’,
I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
handful of Senators don’t pass legislation,
and marches alone can’t bring integration,
when human respect is disintegratin’,
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin’,
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when you return, it’s the same old place,
the poundin’ of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don’t forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
no no you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.

southern california urban guerilla activist
no formal military training but paramilitary past/upbringing.
looking for militia units in the southern california area. Southern CA is on breaking point. We need a mobilization call ASAP.
it will have to be guerilla fighting.
April 15th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
The same thing is starting to happen here in “The Breadbasket of the World”.
We are not far behind
Stock up on canned food, canned fruits and flour and sugar.
If you have ANY ability to grow your own food, stock up on seeds!

hmm, they usually keep us sedate with Bread & Circus. if they are taking the Bread away, then i guess we can expect extra helpings of Circus..

Everyone always wants water front property, living on the coast, and I’m speaking as one who lives in Monterey California, but I bet in the next couple of years people are going to be wishing they lived in the midwestern bread basket.

Tim: You’re right !!! At least here in OHIO we have access to 1/5 of earths fresh water! And those f---ing canadian govt. and businesses want to sell off the water in the great lakes to asia!!! They were stopped though! Shaman: P2008 is correct… crusty brains do not count!!! Maybe your mother could feed the masses!!!
April 16th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Because canada and the us and businesses know that resources (food, water, fuel and people believe it or not) will be a major commodity in the future. With 6.2 billion people on this planet there will be a rush to feed people because of the increased desertfication of the planet and the dwindling of freshwater. And guess what, the areas of the most freshwater are in Russia Canada America and South America, but still not enough to service the rest of the planet (especially when those countries will be more concerned about their people first. The water thing especially is important in the coming future, because just like oil its the ability to get at cheap freshwater. This planet I believe is over 85% water, but much almost all is saltwater. They should have started building more desalinization plants back in the 50’s to make sure that there would be freshwater for all, but they didn’t. There is no way now that we could build or poor thirdworld countries could afford the building of hundreds of desalinization plants.
So what will happen will be a forced migration of people to areas of the world that have resources (food, water, land, peace etc.) but this will lead to war. Over 10 years ago I made a comment to my friends that they next world war will be over natural resources and survival of their people. And it looks like it may be coming into fluition.
April 16th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Ahhh Buck…more bs. Fresh water is only an issue when you don’t put infrastructure in place to capture it before it runs off. Sloth does not imply natural shortage…though sloth will cause shortages. Overdevelopment in arid areas (where it is not necessary) is a fools game.
Interesting that areas like Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia…who have misused and overtaxed their aquifers for years are leading this new environmental sophistry.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
It’s difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn’t available.

Were we to be directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.
April 18th, 2008 at 6:12 am
Well it isn’t manna anymore. I am sorry these people are shorted for bread. Maybe it is a wake up call for all people to revolt against the NWO. Kill all the bastards that play the masses like pawns.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Here, again, is a classic case for the paleolithic diet. If the Neolithic period hadn’t brought with it agriculture, and thus a grain-based, dairy-based diet, millions of people all over the world wouldn’t find themselves in this situation. But, it’s been ten thousand years, now, and it’s far too late to reverse the damage done, for most of humanity. For those of us in the west who can (for the present) afford meat, we have the means to survive the elites’ attack against our food supply. But then, it is the Third World populations – with their grain-based diet – who are the real target.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:42 am
All that is occuring is prophesized in the Bible. These are signals that Jesus Christ is soon returning to take His people home. Now is the time to repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Those left behind will face much worse as the Tribulation is about to begin.

The information in relation to vaccines made in birds embryos comes directly from the British medical Association books for doctors to take advise from, certainly not from a blog, i don’t deal in bollocks…Only facts as i find them
