>>what happens when 2 Billion new consumers in China/India discover junk food?<<

Some Chinese already did. There are closed to 300 KFC merely in Beijing, and perhaps same number of McD. And according to some estimates, there are close to 200 million Chinese are overweight, although personally, I think that number is way too high.

THE GAME ....what I saw....

But what do these countries need to turn unused or underutilized farmland into productive farmland - energy, infrastructure, water, chemicals (which consume energy).

They need to be free. (Smart people or an evil system is stealing their land.) There are many ways to steel from someone. One way is to put a TV in their grass hut. Soon the happy family will feel poor. You have stolen their happiness. Now you can get to work making them slaves. Get them to take out a loan for a fridge. Soon you will have all their land!

It's a game that has different rules in different countries but it is the same game all over the world. Once you understand the game you can become rich in your business as I became in mine. But beware you don't disadvantage the underclass. God is watching. Following are some some examples of how the game is played:

THE GAME China :

Villagers were rounded up at gunpoint and demanded they pay their taxes:

Tax on pig, tax on plow, tax on tractor, duck pond, shed, etc.. It's hard for a family man making $60US a year to pay $2us per year on a pig or $6/year for duck pond etc. They left the land in the late 90's by the hundreds of millions. I saw the cities awash in 96 with them sleeping in the streets. Now when the police go to the villages to collect taxes all they find are toothless old ladies and small children.

There is a Chinese vision; a young man sleeping under the bridge with a sign: tax me now!

SIDE NOTE: If you ride the trains in china or visit the country side around major cities you will see productive farming. It is because they can sell immediately and directly to the cities and villages on train route and the income is relatively high. Inland farming has stopped. In fact farmers near the cities have blocked the roads so inland farmers couldn’t get produce to the cities.

**In China today a whole level of government (village level) is without a tax base. They relied on the farms for the taxes.

**In China there is a famous banned book "Blood of the Farmers" it details how the early boom of China was off the backs of the Rural farmers. This book banned can be purchase almost everywhere. LOL

THE GAME India : Money Lending.

Amir is a banker. His brother in law Kamir has no Job. He tells Kamir to loan money out to the villagers for tractors or whatever. Amir arranges the loans to Kamir who loans it to the farmers. Some farmers’ default, (as was expected or planed) and Amir squeezes Kamir who has no recourse ;) but to seize the land of the farmers.

I have seen it first hand with a family I lived with in Kerala South India. A rich family who's wealth is from the impoverishment of the poor who were loaned money. The whole village knew and feared this family. People are usually killed in the collection process and I have no doubts about that from what I learned in this area. The Bible warns against it. It's called money lending.

THE GAME Modern Slavery

The same thing is happening in N. America, different rules...same game. Canadian Banks are doing it as "student Loans"

Our whole financial system in based on this. The way things are going their will be no rural indigenous farmers in the future. We will all work for Wal-Mart and eat at MacDonald’s. Drive to work on a Toll road and or unit (families will not exist) will be working 24-7.

Those who want to "get ahead" can take pills (from BIG Pharmaceuticals) to enhance performance. That means working a 12 hr shift not a 10 hour shift.

What ever happened to mothers at home and fathers getting weekends and evenings off? Life in INDUSTRIALIZED nations is tyranny and slavery.

I paraphrase Pope John Paul II , “…working on Sunday is an attack on the family and an assault on the dignity of the human person. It’s tyranny!”
