Kenneth T. Tellis: Marks of the CIA web of corruption and manipulation are everywhere

VHeadline commentarist Kenneth T. Tellis writes: Since the recent shortages of staple foods in Venezuela, I got to thinking of how the long term plans by the CIA could have been responsible for them. Way back in the 1980s the U.S. government issued a policy statement of what the future might bring.

Apparently the CIA had already done a complete study of what was most likely to happen sometime in the future.

• Of course no one at that time paid much attention to that position paper and we have now arrived at that juncture.

Today, almost all the countries of Africa, Asia and the Americas are faced with shortages of every kind. But the point that no one has raised is could all of these shortages have been deliberately caused by the CIA in collusion with Corporate America and Multinationals working together?

Usually shortages can be seen coming by the loss of rainfall and other natural elements, but this time round there were no signs of this happening, thus we must now assume that the shortages were not the result of nature, but created for another purpose.

The collapse of the U.S. Dollar made the price of oil go through the roof, but in order to correct that other measures had to be arrived at, so as to alleviate the situation.

What better way than to create shortages and thereby raise the price essential commodities, including staple foods. If the Corporations had been planning this shortage, they have had plenty of time to stock their warehouses all around the globe, and it would be a real money-maker for them if the prices of these commodities rose sharply, would it not?

So, this may not be a real shortage, but one created for the sake of greed.

Of course, if one country were to control the world's supply of essentials, that country could become very rich overnight. Thus, everyone should look at the way in which these shortages were arrived at, and then come to the realization that the finger now points at one nation alone and we all know that nation.

A question that has been bugging me for ages, is how people in North America get so obese?

It might be their diet, but it also could be overeating. Go into any café, restaurant or hotel and see how much of the food that was ordered was eaten? Usually, when a waiter or waitress comes to clear the table, there so much left over that the poor could have been fed with the food that was wasted. But that as they say is the North American lifestyle, where the policy is; I'm alright jack, which is the standard behaviour of people. One has only to go into a plant manufacturing foods, such as cheeses, jams and other daily food items to realize the way in which these foods that are underweight or not considered correct are sent directly to the incinerator for burning.

• They will not be donated to food banks or such kitchens because that would mean a loss in profits if people did not purchase these items at the local supermarket.

That is where food shortages begin. Then think of how these very same food companies ask their employees to donate money directly from their paychecks to some charity or other to help needy children, their families or the destitute? Do these food companies ever give a thought to those very same needy children and the poor in general when they are deliberately incinerating food items that could have been donated to the various charitable institutions?

If not, why not?

• Because the sad reality is they really don't give a damn. The food shortages throughout the world cannot be avoided if they are being created by groups that are in there to profit from this need.

They want to make money on the backs to the needy and poor of the world, and forget about human misery because they are not in the business of helping humanity, but are in it for profit alone, because capitalism does not have a conscience.
