Reposted from Baher Kamal’s excellent “Human Wrongs Watch” – which we recommend warmly, not because it is uplifting but because it monitors facts and truths about our international society that wealthy people – and Western ‘democratic’ leaders – everywhere would like you not to know about or think of. That said, the facts that Oxfam continues to publish for those who care have only grown worse. It is one more reason, together with militarism and warfare, genocide and permanent, provocative policies, that will accelerate the decline and fall of the West. Western capitalism has always been and will remain a wealth-creating machine for the few
and unspeakable misery for the ‘damned of the earth.’
