The World Food Program's famine map of Africa


The situation is dire, and will be far worse than the Ethiopian famine in the previous decade to its wide spread severity. Due to a combination of plague and drought, tens of millions face starvation in coming months. The Famine relief rock concert raised 200 million at the time for Ethiopian famine victims, while, at that time, the daily interest payments on Sub-Saharan debt was 250 million dollars a day (in otherwords the rock concert did not even raise enough to pay the interest on the debt for the day of the concert). The entire debt of the world's most heavily indebted poor countries comes to 250 billion, or about one fifth of the tax cut in the United States. Hospitals have been closed, patients must bring in all their own surgical thread and relative must being food every day, schools go without simple things like chalk, commodities are sold at low prices, as governments are forced to 'restructure' the economy and privatize everything in sight in order to make interest payments on loans which, combined, don't even equal one years worth of spending on the Pentagon, and is just a small fraction of all the combined tax cuts that have been given out in recent times in affluent Northern countries. It goes without saying that nothing is left over for disaster relief, in particular a disaster of such catastrophic scope as what is now unfolding.

Hunger In the Americas


Economic collapse, drought, and structural inequalities have combined to create the hunger afflicting Southern American countries. Although it is not shown on the map, there have been reports of starvation deaths among children in Argentina, where the recent economic collapse has plunged over 50 per cent of the population into poverty. The wide spread economic collapse across South America not only throws into questions the imposed policies of 'structural adjustment' forcefully initiated by the World Bank and the IMF, it also helps to explain the current preparations for a coup in Venezuela in order to 'send a message' all over Central and South America (the message being that the current swing to the left taking place in response to the economic catastrophe will be vigorously opposed by Washington, and will only result in one coup after another).


As well, although it is not shown on the maps, Palestinian children are suffering from malnutrition, and poverty and hunger are wide spread in the occupied territories, following the deliberate destruction by the Israeli forces of first the economy and then the infrastructure and institutions since 2000.

The Open Source Mozilla Web Browser has been released. The way it operates resembles Internet Explorer and it looks similar to Netscape. It features a new rendering engine built from the ground up (the developers decided that Netscapes older engine was to buggy). The browser allows users to block ads and manage cookies, and includes a feature called 'tabs' that allows a user to open new web pages in 'a tab' instead of in a new browser window. The download is about 10 megabytes.

Election of hardliner in Columbian election hardly a landslide - most voters abstain in recent Columbian elections, where the victory of right wing Hardliner, Velez, was hailed in media reports as 'a landslide'. Actually Velez was elected only by 24 per cent of the population and the only landslide was in the majority of voters who abstained from going to the polls.


According to a study by the Washington Times, large corporate farms and multinationals collect most of the payments under agricultural subsidy program, and local governments and institutions have found creative ways to milk the system for millions, while tens of thousands of small farmers have their applications refused.


Levi turns to low wage overseas suppliers for clothing as the trend is to more and importation of clothing made by what are referred to as 'sweatshop laborers'. Protestors have been targetting the Gap for similar policies. According to Albert Einstein, such gutting of the work force eventually leads the economy to collapse, which only makes sense, since when income becomes lop sided, and no one has the money to buy anything, the profits realized from exporting jobs to sweatshops causes the economy to capsize.


After being flooded all winter (a truly bizarre development) the soggy midwest suffers more flooding in the spring.
