UN on The Benefits of World Hunger
Death by starvation is also a benefit … for the capitalists.



The article has already been removed, but the Internet remembers everything.

I’ll copy the full text here in case they take it out from the web archive, too.

We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a scourge that all of us want to see abolished, viewing it as comparable with the plague or aids. But that naïve view prevents us from coming to grips with what causes and sustains hunger. Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world’s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour.

We in developed countries sometimes see poor people by the roadside holding up signs saying “Will Work for Food”. Actually, most people work for food. It is mainly because people need food to survive that they work so hard either in producing food for themselves in subsistence-level production, or by selling their services to others in exchange for money. How many of us would sell our services if it were not for the threat of hunger?
More importantly, how many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger? When we sell our services cheaply, we enrich others, those who own the factories, the machines and the lands, and ultimately own the people who work for them. For those who depend on the availability of cheap labour, hunger is the foundation of their wealth.

The conventional thinking is that hunger is caused by low-paying jobs. For example, an article reports on “Brazil’s ethanol slaves: 200,000 migrant sugar cutters who prop up renewable energy boom”.1 While it is true that hunger is caused by low-paying jobs, we need to understand that hunger at the same time causes low-paying jobs to be created. Who would have established massive biofuel production operations in Brazil if they did not know there were thousands of hungry people desperate enough to take the awful jobs they would offer? Who would build any sort of factory if they did not know that many people would be available to take the jobs at low-pay rates?

Much of the hunger literature talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive. That is nonsense. No one works harder than hungry people. Yes, people who are well nourished have greater capacity for productive physical activity, but well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work.

The non-governmental organization Free the Slaves defines slaves as people who are not allowed to walk away from their jobs. It estimates that there are about 27 million slaves in the world,2 including those who are literally locked into workrooms and held as bonded labourers in South Asia. However, they do not include people who might be described as slaves to hunger, that is, those who are free to walk away from their jobs but have nothing better to go to. Maybe most people who work are slaves to hunger?

For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. If there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields? Who would harvest our vegetables? Who would work in the rendering plants? Who would clean our toilets? We would have to produce our own food and clean our own toilets. No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.

#Trump's #USAID cut: "...shattered the paradoxical fraud of the “#independentmedia”... Just like everything else in today’s #Orwell-ian ‘upside-down’ construct—where the term “democracy” is... tossed about to describe repression... "peace” used to describe funneling more weapons to... Nazi/apartheid regimes—similarly “independent media” had described what was... almost entirely government funded operation."

“As The Gaza Agenda Moves Forward, The Imperial Narrative Shifts With It”

“And it’s just so surreal how the narrative is changing now that the agenda has moved from destroying Gaza to ethnically cleansing it. It’s requiring some real Orwellian doublethink revisionism”

UK set to introduce digital driving licences

by Maia Davies, January 18, 2025

"'Technology now makes it possible for digital identities to be more secure than physical ones, but we remain clear that they will not be made mandatory.'

"The virtual licences could be used at supermarket self checkouts, The Times said, allowing customers to verify their own age without waiting for a member of staff.

"The new digital licences will be introduced later this year, the newspaper reported.

"A possible feature could allow users to hide their address in certain situations, such as in bars or shops.

"There were more than 50 million full or provisional driving licence holders in the UK in 2023, according to government data.

"The digital licences are likely to be launched as part of a 'wallet' within a new government app called Gov.uk.

"The wallet is understood to be secured in a similar way to many banking apps, and would only allow the genuine owner of a licence to access it.

"It will use features found on many smartphones, such as biometrics and multifactor authentication, like security codes.

"The government is said to be considering integrating other services into the app, such as tax payments and benefits claims.

"Other forms of identification, such as national insurance numbers, could also be added - but it is not thought physical identification will be replaced entirely.

"The new technology appears to stop short of being a broad digital ID card – as previously called for by Sir Tony Blair and Lord William Hague.

"At the time, the head of privacy campaign group #BigBrotherWatch said such a move "would be one of the biggest assaults on privacy ever seen in the UK".

"In 2016, the then-boss of the UK's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) said digital licences were being developed.

"Virtual licences are already in use in Australia, Denmark, Iceland and Norway, as well as some US states.

"In the European Union, every member state is required to introduce at least one form of digital ID by 2026."

"Bezalel Smotrich says Israel can empty half of #Gaza through 'voluntary' migration"

Michael Huckleberry Hudson:
And you can look at Ukraine as an example of how the United States would like Russia, China, and the Arab countries to exist. You would suspend elections once you have your guys, your president in there. You would become the most corrupt country in your region, as Ukraine has been. You will ban local languages and religions that are not Judeo-Christian.

You will essentially prevent strikes.

And you know the joke, the aristocrats. A stage group of actors talks about a family coming on and doing all sorts of horrendously devious sexual acts and incest, and it goes on and on. The producer who’s being offered this act and said, what do you call this act? And the answer is, the aristocrats.

Well, what do you call the Ukrainian act of suspending elections, banning foreign languages, assassinating critics? We call it democracy. Well, that’s hilarious. That’s indeed what #America calls it. America has two models of #democracy, #Ukraine and #Israel. Again and again in the press, it says Ukraine is the model of democracy that we want for what used to be the whole Soviet Union. And you have Latvia and Estonia and Lithuania clapping, and we want the democracy in Israel. Israel is the only democratic country in the Near East.

We want Israel to be the model for the Near East.

Well, what are they saying? That there won’t be any more Arabs in the Near East? That they’ll all be Americans with dual citizenship? This is what it’s all come to. We’re living in an Orwellian world is trying to deter people’s consciousness from realizing the reality of work and the dynamics that are at work.
