It is a tragedy when a country suffers famine, war, natural disasters, or all of the above. The most affected by such events are the children and they are also the most dependant upon compassion and the supplementation of their most basic needs to survive. In many cases these children are orphaned and left in a world where there is no one to care for them.

 

            This is when aid workers and even UN forces come into the picture and try to help feed and provide security for these stricken communities. However, what is to be done when those very same institutions trusted with that great responsibility takes advantage of those in need? The United Nations has been rife with scandals involving human sex trafficking and while those in the top tiers of power have promised to put an end to the practices, it seems that they have been unwilling, or at best ineffective in instituting such changes.

 

            In a study released by “Save the Children,” a charity aimed at aiding children in need after events such as natural disasters and war, it has been found that sexual abuse by aid workers and even UN Peacekeeping forces has been on the rise in the past few years. In many cases the children are made to perform sexual acts on the workers in order to receive food and supplies. In some instances the children have been forced into sex by Peacekeepers through the use of intimidation.

 

            According to “Save the Children,” this is just the tip of the iceberg because these are only the reported incidents of abuse. It is believed that many others go unreported due to the children being too frightened to come forward. In some cases they are fearful that the aid workers and Peacekeepers may leave their area all together. This in turn would cause the entire region to lose the much needed aid. It is due to this reason that even the communities at large discourage the reporting of these incidents.

 

            Some of the children identified in the study are as young as six years old. Sexual exploitation of those suffering and in need of the basic necessities of life such as food and medicines is bad enough, but when it involves young children it just makes it that much  more contemptible and evil. It is important that we, as human beings, keep a close watch on just what exactly is being done in our names. The United Nations is a representation of every member nation involved in that entity and this does indeed include the United States.

 

            When it comes to charities we can never be too sure of exactly what is happening as evidenced by Oprah’s own charity where there were allegations of sexual abuse of the girls attending her schools for girls in Africa. It is my belief that such agencies are in need of much scrutiny and a very watchful eye over their operations. It is absolutely disgusting to think that people must submit themselves to the lustful desires of a few in order to receive the aid which was given to them freely by the good people of this world.

            The alarm bells have been ringing for quite some time telling many people that the U.S. economy was going to hit a major crisis in the year 2008. Some of the more astute were calling it a few years ago when the mortgage companies were giving out sub prime mortgage loans. Last year it became clear that the brunt of economic woes would be on target in 2008.

            Unsuspecting buyers were gleefully signing on to mortgages that had very low monthly payments, only to be blindsided by huge interest payments due after no more than five years. These types of loans were considered by many to be predatory in nature. Taking into consideration human nature, I would have to agree in that determination. People are always looking for a great deal and when an individual can take out a two hundred thousand dollar loan to buy a home for their family, and make very low monthly payments; they simply cannot pass it up.

             It was clear to many in the government and in the private community as to what was happening and what was going to be the eventual outcome. However, they failed to do anything about it and now while the individual homeowners are being forced into the street, the Fed has bailed out the same predator mortgage companies that caused the crisis in the first place. While all of this is happening Wall Street is crashing in a manner not seen since the depression of the 1930s. Nevertheless, things will get worse before they improve and consumers and investors must get prepared to weather the effects that are sure to come.

It is now clear that this crisis is going to be Biblical in nature. The simple fact that billions of dollars have been injected into the economy by the Fed and it has had no lasting effect speaks volumes as to the severity of the situation. Now, if you take these issues into consideration with the cost of oil and the falling value of the dollar, we are talking about the “Perfect Storm” of economic crisis. While all of this is happening, President Bush makes his statement to the press which consists of “The economy is going through a tough time, but it is not a recession.” All the while, we have our old Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan openly telling Arab states to abandon the Dollar.

Alan Greenspan is a globalists and he apparently has no sense of loyalty to the United States. Obviously, when the country falls into the dung heap of history Greenspan has a nice chunk of land in Dubai to retire to. The current Fed Chairman Bernanke looks like a non-comedic version of the “Keystone Cops” trying to inject worthless paper into a failing economy. It seems printed paper does not go as far as it used to and people are starting to figure out exactly what is happening. Here it is in a nutshell, the bankers and politicians convinced Americans that paper was worth more than actual gold, silver, or pick any other tangible commodity and insert it here.

While the American people fell into the euphoria of an ever expanding economy, the bankers were grabbing important commodities and resources that America had. All that the bankers were doing was printing up money which cost them nothing and loaning it to the American people for a great big fat usury windfall. It is very much like when the colonist came from Britain to America and bought Long Island for some beads. Guess what America? You just bought a handful of beads and you did not even realize it.

Now I understand how the Native Americans were so easily deceived. So, now that we are here in this situation, is this the best that the President can do? To deny that we are in trouble and trying to convince the people that it is not that serious? Yikes, a lot of people are going to be in big trouble when this thing finally collapses and I will give you a million to one odds that it will not be the bankers.
