Very Interesting timing, you just had the completion of two, pardon me; three major meetings of the worlds Elites (The Bilderberg Group, G8 and G20 Meetings) and by Elites I mean the unseen hands that determines the world affairs, its directions and their policies that the world governments have to follow, including small island governments like ours. The Prime Minister of Jamaica was scheduled to be at the G20 meeting which ended Jun 27 2010, in Canada. So the following week the rest of CC leaders are heading to JA to get brief and be handed down the policies adopted at these meetings in which they must now implement, it is not a COINCIDENCE. I truly think it will be much more than the Matters listed in this article.
When we’re in Dominica caught up in petty sensational distractions, our leaders are getting their directions from these people and they are no way interested in our welfare, our leaders are mere puppets of these people.
Do we really know what the IMF policy is?
Do we truly understand why there’s a willful neglect of the agriculture industry? The role of NAFTA in all of this, When did we start to see the decline in government aid, or attention to our farmers, I will bet you it began in 1994-95 mind you NAFTA was signed into law by President Clinton in fall of 93 and took effect in Jan 1,1994.
Why, did Clinton apologize to people of Haiti: “Since 1981 the United States has followed a policy until the last year or so, when we started rethinking it, that we rich countries that produce a lot of food should sell it to poor countries and relieve them of the burden of producing their own food so thank goodness they can lead directly into the industrial era. It has not worked. It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but it has not worked. It was a mistake. It was a mistake that I was a party to. I am not pointing the finger at anybody. I did that. I have to live every day with the consequences of the lost capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people, because of what I did, nobody else.” President Clinton March 10 to the Senate FRC
Do we know anything about Genetically Modified Foods, Population Control through Sterilization, Due to space constrains I will cut it short, but we got to wake up, our leaders are more frequently pressured into accepting policies that are not beneficial to us as a whole, we have to become aware, start paying attention to policy details. We are the herd being held to the slaughter house, there might not be much we can do about it, but the lease we could do, is have eyes that see, ears that hear, which would allow us to know we are being led to the kill house.
