Dan. 9:25 “So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.
Dan. 9:26 “Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.
Dan. 9:27 “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

Why is there Rampant Famine in the 21st Century?
Eradicating famine is entirely possible if governments mobilise their political will and address the structuralcauses of hunger. Erroneous debts should be cancelled, and food sovereignty and agrarian reform need tobe urgently promoted, argue Éric Toussaint and Damien Millet.
12th May 09 - Éric Toussaint and Damien Millet, CADTM
One person in seven on this planet is permanently hungry. The causes are well known: a profoundinjustice in the distribution of wealth and the monopolizing of land by a small minority of large landowners.
According to the FAO [1], 963 million people were suffering from famine in 2008. Paradoxically, thesepeople mainly live in rural areas. They are generally farmers who do not own land or do not own enough,and are without the means to cultivate it effectively.
What Caused the Food Crisis of 2007-2008?
It is important to emphasize that in 2007-2008, the number of people suffering from hunger increased by140 million. This marked increase is due to the explosion of food prices [2]. In several countries retail foodprices increased by as much as 50%, or even more.
Why such an increase? To answer this question, it is important to understand what has been happeningover the past three years. Only then can alternative, appropriate policies be implemented.
On the one hand, the public authorities in the North increased their aid and subsidies for agro-fuels(mistakenly referred to as bio-fuels, since there is nothing organic about them). All of a sudden, it becameprofitable to replace subsistence crops with oleaginous crops or feed grains, or to divert part of graincultivation (corn, wheat, etc.) towards the production of agro-fuels.
On the other hand, after the real estate bubble burst in the United States, with repercussions throughoutthe rest of the world, the major investors (pension funds, investment banks, hedge funds, etc.) shifted theirfocus and speculated on the futures market where contracts for food prices are negotiated (there are threemain futures exchanges in the United States: Chicago, Kansas City and Minneapolis).
It is therefore urgent for citizens to take action to legally ban speculation on food prices. Despite the factthat speculation reached its peak and declined from the middle of 2008, and that futures prices haveplummeted, retail prices have not followed suit. The vast majority of the world’s population has a very lowincome and is still affected by the dramatic consequences of the increase in food prices of 2007-2008.
The tens of millions of redundancies announced for 2009-2010 around the world will further worsen thesituation. In April 2009, the FAO told the G8 that the number of chronically hungry people was set to riseby 75 million to 100 million this year, bringing the total number to more than 1 billion. In order to counter
this situation, public authorities must keep food prices under control.
The increase in famine throughout the world is not due, at least for the moment, to climate change. But thisfactor will have very negative consequences for the future in terms of production in certain regions of theworld, especially in tropical or subtropical areas. Agricultural production in temperate zones should be lessaffected.
The solution lies in radical action being taken so as to drastically reduce the emission of greenhouse gases(the IPPC [3] recommends an 80% reduction of emissions for the most industrialized countries and 20%for the others).
Is it Possible to Eradicate Famine?
Eradicating famine is entirely possible. The basic solutions needed in order to reach this vital goal lie inpolicies of food sovereignty and agrarian reform. That is to say, feeding populations based on localproduction, whilst limiting imports and exports.
Food sovereignty needs to be the focal point of governments’ political decisions. They need to concentrateon family farms, using techniques designed for the production of organic food. Furthermore, this wouldenable people to have good quality foodstuffs: no GMOs, no pesiticides, no herbicides and no chemicalfertilizers.

Global Famine

Humanity is undergoing in the post-Cold War era an economic and social crisis ofunprecedented scale leading to the rapid impoverishment of large sectors of the Worldpopulation. National economies are collapsing, unemployment is rampant. Local level famineshave erupted in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and parts of Latin America. This "globalizationof poverty" --which has largely reversed the achievements of post-war decolonization-- wasinitiated in the Third World coinciding with the debt crisis of the early 1980s and the impositionof the IMF's deadly economic reforms.
The New World Order feeds on human poverty and the destruction of the natural environment.It generates social apartheid, encourages racism and ethnic strife, undermines the rights ofwomen and often precipitates countries into destructive confrontations between nationalities.Since the 1990s, it has extended its grip to all major regions of the World including NorthAmerica, Western Europe, the countries of the former Soviet block and the "NewlyIndustrialized Countries" (NICs) of South East Asia and the Far East.
This Worldwide crisis is more devastating than the Great Depression of the 1930s. It has far-reaching geo-political implications; economic dislocation has also been accompanied by theoutbreak of regional wars, the fracturing of national societies and in some cases the destructionof entire countries. By far this is the most serious economic crisis in modern history. (MichelChossudovsky, The Globalization of Poverty, First Edition, 1997)
Introduction
Famine is the result of a process of "free market" restructuring of the global economy which has itsroots in the debt crisis of the early 1980s. It is not a recent phenomenon as suggested by severalWestern media reports. The latter narrowly focus on short-term supply and demand for agriculturalstaples, while obfuscating the broader structural causes of global famine.
Poverty and chronic undernourishment is a pre-existing condition. The recent hikes in food priceshave contributed to exacerbating and aggravating the food crisis. The price hikes are hitting animpoverished population, which has barely the means to survive.
Food riots have erupted almost simultaneously in all major regions of the World:
"Food prices in Haiti had risen on average by 40 percent in less than a year, with the costof staples such as rice doubling.... In Bangladesh, [in late April 2008] some 20,000 textileworkers took to the streets to denounce soaring food prices and demand higher wages.The price of rice in the country has doubled over the past year, threatening the workers,who earn a monthly salary of just $25, with hunger. In Egypt, protests by workers over
US-NATO-ISRAEL WAR PLANS TO ATTACK IRAN
“Food riots have erupted almost simultaneously in all major regions of the world...”
“According to the FAO, the price of grain staples has increased by 88% since March 2007. The price of wheat has increased by 181% over a three year period. The price of rice has increased by 50% over the last three months...”
“2.6 billion people around the world live on less than $2 a day and spend 60% to 80% of their incomes on food. Hundreds of millions cannot afford to eat...”

Oklahoma Hit With 10 Aftershocks Following 5.6-Magnitude EarthquakePublished November 06, 2011 | Associated Press
SPARKS, OKLA. – Clouds of dust belched from the corners of almost every room in Joe Reneau's house asthe biggest earthquake in Oklahoma history rocked the two-story building.
A roar that sounded like a jumbo jet filled the air, and Reneau's red-brick chimney collapsed and fell intothe roof above the living room. By the time the shaking stopped, a pantry worth of food had been strewnacross the kitchen and shards of glass and pottery covered the floor.
"It was like WHAM!" said Reneau, 75, gesturing with swipes of his arms. "I thought in my mind the housewould stand, but then again, maybe not."
The magnitude 5.6 earthquake and its aftershocks still had residents rattled Sunday. No injuries werereported, and aside from a buckled highway and the collapse of a tower on the St. Gregory's Universityadministration building, neither was any major damage. But the weekend earthquakes were among thestrongest yet in a state that has seen a dramatic, unexplained increase in seismic activity.
Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes a year until 2009. Then the number spiked, and 1,047quakes shook the state last year, prompting researchers to install seismographs in the area.
Still, most of the earthquakes have been small.
Saturday night's big one jolted Oklahoma State University's stadium shortly after the No. 3 Cowboysdefeated No. 17 Kansas State. Fans were still leaving the game.
"That shook up the place, had a lot of people nervous," Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmonsaid.
