Egypt On The Brink Of Starvation And Bankruptcy

Egypt is running out of food, and, more gradually, running out of money with which to buy it. The most populous country in the Arab world shows all the symptoms of national bankruptcy - the kind that produced hyperinflation in several Latin American countries during the 1970s and 1980s - with a deadly difference: Egypt imports half its wheat, and the collapse of its external credit means starvation.

The civil violence we have seen over the past few days foreshadows far worse to come.

The Arab uprisings began against a background of food insecurity, as rising demand from Asia priced the Arab poor out of the grain..

  1. The NEW Dark Ages are coming. And none of you will be happy with it. So, eat as much cheese as you can, like I do, so you won't have to deal with it....

  4. I don't think that it was demand from Asia that drove prices up. It were the bail-outs the banksters got and pored them in the commodity market, driving prices up. When I see an article where one group of people is blamed for another's group misery it is a typical PSYOP.

  7. To 4:38 P.M.: You are so blinded by your own inadequacies as an individual that your racist rant has become your way of life. The kind of hatred crap that you spew is the breeding ground for world wars. Your comments are unintelligible from a spiritual point of view. We are all in the same boat and when you draw your last breath in your earthen vessel, the maggots will cover it just as they will "the people" that you "try" to demean. You are the one who actually feels stupid, lazy and ugly. I think the term for the type of behavior you display, in your limited verbal use of the English language in this thread, is called emotional insanity...get a life!

  8. The sheeple love to be racist and especially are really into the whole Islamaphobe movement right now. It's one of the sure signs of a sheeple when they are busy spouting off the far right's propaganda and thinking they are somehow enlightened or revolutionary for it.

    Certainly is easier than understanding the economic and political mess we are in right now, or standing up to the looting of Corporate America and our corrupt elected officials.

  9. Don't feed the trolls by responding to racist remarks.

    As for Egypt? What can I say? Abused, looted, overpopulated, undereducated waiting to explode...It's like anywhere else you have good and bad people...Sadly enough the bad usually win in that part of the world being they usually respond better to a harsh ruler than a weak one...Hence the cycle of corruption happens time and time again.
