Food for Fighter Jets! What a shitty idea! Brought to you by the few greedy bastards it will benefit!

     Wake up, running cars and planes on food that could have been eaten by one of the 16,000 kids who die every day from starvation is idiotic!

 While most of the world’s industrialized nations are modernizing agricultural production methods and encouraging through subsidies greater food crop production rather than the growth of feed stock for livestock, the Unites States is turning food into fuel for automobiles. Even today the Pentagon announced the test flight of an F18 fighter jet which will run on biofuels. While JP4, the current fuel of choice for high performance aircraft is $3.50 a gallon the new biofuels are only $36 a gallon, and require more energy to produce than they are capable of creating. Not only are the biofuels much more expensive but they have the added benefit of taking food from the mouths of starving people. Obviously this stance is unsustainable in the long run and undermines American national security by depriving our nation of the opportunity to aid the starving, thus winning the hearts and minds of a new generation. In addition to the ludicrous biofuels the U.S. Department of Agriculture still pays farmers not to grow crops, in the form of market subsidies to maintain lower food production. These actions and others like them leave the doors open to those who can and will use our actions rather than our words to define us.

Greed has been with humanity from the onset and remains part of the human condition. To address the issue of greed and the divisions it creates will require man to be aware, and the few will not allow awareness. The schools, churches, governments and social movements are all tools of the few to perpetuate the system which perpetuates their greed and power.

The most significant social issue facing the humankind in the 21^st century is the intentional division of the masses by the investor class.  The perpetuation of the myth that capitalism is good by the capitalist class is baffling. The message that somehow greed is beneficial to mankind is troubling. The evolution of modern society is being held hostage by special interests not only in the United States and the rest of the industrialized world but also in every 3^rd world dictatorship. These are the capitalists who bring you wars for another people’s resources, financial inequity to enrich each other and allow famine and epidemics to preserve the bottom line. For a dollar a share they will lay off 100,000 workers and ship the jobs to Mexico, and once Mexico becomes too expensive China and India. Beneath the surface of each and every issue one can raise as a potential social problem runs the current of greed. All the world’s social issues can be traced back to the affects and or byproducts of greed. More money for one means less for another, more food, more liberty, more control, more for one always means less for someone else. Resources are not unlimited the supply is always finite, and control of resources means less for most and much more for the few.

     The system exists to benefit the few and is perpetuated by those same few who control what you hear, what you see, what you think and what you learn. The game is rigged, sure you can form a fringe group and make noise but your message will not be heard, your voice will not be allowed to threaten the system which the few control. From time to time one of the few will stand up and point to a lesser issue and cry for your action to help, all designed to divert your attention. You are a pawn, a serf, a minion. As in Rome the masses are distracted by games and entertainment so they do not see the wool in front of their eyes. There is no movement to address the true inequity that unbridled capitalism creates because the few send you messages that you can one of them, just buy a lottery ticket, or work hard come up with the next big idea. The system insures that you’re happy being exploited alongside your friends at the country club, because they show you images of those who are far worse off. This myth of capitalism breads social injustice.  Speak out and be jailed challenge the system and be branded a traitor or simply led into the woods with a shovel to dig your own shallow grave accompanied by men who think they are one of the few, minions all.
