The System.

We may pray for the hungry and the children who will die.

We may even give money to charities who will help them.

But why do they die when the world produces enough food to feed everyone?

The answer is the entrenched System in the West.

This System ensures the dominance of the West by maintaining the secrecy of the financial arrangements of Multi-National Corporations.

And it is backed up by massive armies.

We are told that information about investment and business practices is private and protected by law.

This goes back to the British Empire which was established at the point of a gun and maintained by force.

Now we are complicit with this Domination System.

We profit from its crimes.

So every time a child dies from starvation we can blame the System that the West has established to keep us on top of the world's wealth and power.

This System is whitewashed with democracy.

And it poses as freedom.

But it is a Capitalist System.

It is neither democratic nor free.

The media ensures that we are distracted and misinformed.

And our governments make sure we are confused and powerless.

Corrupt politicians betray us.

And shareholders reject reforms.

So the hungry are ignored.

And children die.
