CAN YOU BELIVE IT POVERTY WILL BE ERADICATED IN THIRTY YEARS.

22 Wednesday Jan 2014

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in Uncategorized

≈ Comments Off on CAN YOU BELIVE IT POVERTY WILL BE ERADICATED IN THIRTY YEARS.

Huffington post recently published an article

“HALF OF THE GLOBAL WEALTH ‘ OWNED BY 85 PEOPLE COULD ALL FIT ONTO A SINGLE-DECKER BUS”

Hard to BELIEVE but true.

Bill Gates predicts in the recent Gates Foundation Letter that by 2035 there will be no more poor countries.

Hard to BELIEVE.

China economy has lifted a stunning 680 million out of Extreme Poverty accounting for 3/4 of the worlds decline in poverty over the last 30 years.

True. Their economy moved from $1.25 a day to 6.3 Yuan a day or $365 p.a.

China still has a billion people living on $5 a day.

The United Nations recently announced it had achieved the promise made in 2000 by world leaders to halve Extreme Poverty by 2015.

Yet to-day 4.1 billion people still live in Extreme Poverty and every four seconds a child died from preventable causes.

All the above good news is a small step in the right direction.

The real world however paints a different picture. Inequality is growing everywhere while human Rights are being undermined.

Mankind has gone from fighting with stones – swords – to muskets – to machine guns – to right up to modern era of poison gas and nucks that can eradicate all poverty in a minute.

There is no getting away from it the 20th century has had to be the most violent in human history. Two world wars.

When you have a silent majority what has happened in History.

The Communist Russia were responsible for the murder of 20 million. The Chinese Communist managed a staggering 70 million. The Japanese 12 million. The Rwandans God Knows.

What does all this prove. Nothing I suppose other than anyone who doubts that the issue of Equality is not serious is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problem to expand. We are Silent – and then silenced.

But here is the real question.

Do you BELIEVE that in the next thirty years poverty is going to be removed from the planet by growth of 1% in GDP per head which reduces poverty by 1.7%.

Or would an increase of 1% in the living wage be better.

It would reduce poverty in the riches countries by 4.3%.

The bad news is that a living wage will have little or no effect.

Why? Because 47% of all to day’s jobs will be automated in the next twenty years. Most will be the living wage jobs, so inequality will widen and the countries that are not up to date with technologies will become poorer.

What happens will arrive on you DOORSTEP.

THERE IS ONLY ONE OPTION/SOLUTION.

POVERTY IN ALL ITS PRESENT DAY FORM WILL NOT DISAPPEAR ALL ON ITS OWN. FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IT MUST HAVE AN EXTERNAL SOURCE OF RESOURCES TO TACKEL IT.

THIS SOURCE IS GREED ITSELF. ( see previous posts)

You want to be more than naive to BELIEVE that the whole world is going to get richer. That inequality is going to narrow. That climate change is not going to have any effect. That there is going to be peace. That the worlds renewable resources are not going to run out. That SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS WHICH ARE THE SILENT FACE OF GREED ARE GOING TO SHARE THEIR PROFITS.

THE IMPROBABLITIES ARE ENDLESS.

We are becoming indifferent to unmoved.

Child exploration Slums Health Economic migration, silent majority, world problems

 

We all know that there are many world problems that are not driven by poverty.

However we would be safe to say without contradiction that the majority are connected to its very existence.

Current world conflict.
Drugs
Modern day Slavery
Pollution
Sex trade
Child exploitation
Slums
Health
Economic migration
Black market
People trafficking
Education
Corruption.

We the silent majority would do well to remember what happens in history when the majority remained silent. Communist Russia were responsible for the murder of 20 million. The Chinese communism managed a staggering 70 million. The Japanese 12 million. The Rwandans – God knows. There is no getting away from that the 20th century has had to be the most violent in human history

Lastly anyone who doubts that this issue of poverty is not serious is contributing to the passiveness that allowing the problem to expand.

We are silent – and then silenced.

Invitation to Sir Bono.

Bono

 

It would seem from the silent reactions to my recent postings that you are getting bored.

So a change of tack is in order.

Instead of reading my ranting that we will all be asked at the gates of heaven ( if a heaven exists) why did we stand by idle when it was within your power to eradicate poverty. I invite you to listen to my long-lost friend Bono pontificate on the TED WHY IT IS POSSIBLE TO BANISH IT FROM THE GLOBE BY 2015.(www.ten.com)

Through his wealth and fame not his poverty he has ASPIRED to influence the powerfully to give not to receive giving him a purpose to his LIFE. I know what he says comes from his heart because way back he and his wife Ali after the Chernobyl disaster brought CHILDREN to Ireland for a holiday for free.

Like me he believes that we can no longer pretend that the creation of wealth for a few will inevitably benefit the many.

The cost of Poverty is not only unethical, it’s also economically inefficient, politically corrosive, socially divisive and environmentally destructive.

Unlike me even if we are moving in the right direction, he has no concert solution. There is no doubt as he points out we are moving in the right direction. POVERTY has fallen faster in the last 50 years than the last 500.

Bono and I quote from his Ted talk says ” we can trace it source back to three thousand years ago.”

We can look back to 13.2 billion years through the Hubble Telescope but we are unable to look into the future by one mille second. Why do I point this out. Because greed is at the very beginning and will be at the very end. The only way to make a difference to the present is to capture greed.

In his talk he refers to the power of facts, stating that he is now one of the facttiveness and believes that the Facebook, the Twitter, the Social Media, will change the world through transparency. I agreed. But we all must speak with one Voice to have any effect.

So my long-lost friend the co-founder of Data, Red, Edon, join me. Read my blog (bobdillon33blog.wordpress.com) or drop by for a glass of wine Sir.

We are awash in the Unseen

Extreme poverty, world poverty

 

Humanity’s only home planet is under attack with the shadows of forgotten Ancestors disappearing into Cyber Space.

Never forget the World is yours. ( Terms and conditions apply)

Nothing speaks more vividly than the relents march of world poverty.

We modern humans have being of Earth less of Earth 0’0001% of Earth history.

It’s an unnerving thought that we may be the living Universe’s supreme achievement and its worst night-mare simultaneously.

It’s time to get off the substitutes bench.

World Poverty is now used as a product to fund an ever-increasing industry that is serving its very existence.

There is no solution without funds, and the greatest source of funds is Greed, Profit for Profit sake.

The World Bank has tried and failed to date.
The IMF has tried and failed?
Fair Trade has tried and failed.
Grandiose United Nation Charters have tried and failed.

The mantra of our world leaders is that ” The Economy must continue to grow” while 21 Children die from preventable causes each minute. Fifteen million a year Ref: library.thinkquest.org

There are no valid reasons that we should tolerate or accept one death so that our Economies can grow.

There are no poor with Investment Portfolios, but there are however many Portfolios with poor. There is only one solution Greed must be made work to eradicate poverty – see previous postings,and Silent Witness to world poverty on Flipboard.

The current world economic system is not legitimate because it creates Poverty.

Business and Economy, Distribution of wealth, exploration of Africa, FOUNDATIONS /FORUM THINK TANKS, Mark Zuckerberg

5 Poverty photographs

I do not want this blog to end up as a insults to human intellect by moaning non stop.

After sailing across the Atlantic several times and completing a 85,000 overland two-year exploration of Africa with my wife and seven-year old daughter I can tell you that moaning gets you no where in this world.

We will all be lucky if before we depart to understand that giving not receiving is the secret to happiness. That beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It must please the senses and the mind. That compassion without action comes cheap. That Apollo 8 photo of the  EARTH RISING puts every think in perspective.

We are all on earth a micro speck in the vastness of the Universe. It belongs to us all. However sometimes people carry it more on the inside than on the outside.

Its beauty is beyond words, and its hard to accept as its current caretakers we are allowing it to be exploited for short-term gains. We can’t let it happen.

Those that are trying Donors Choose Org, Heifer International, Save the Childers, World Vision not forgetting a few individuals such as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates.

Just think what could be achieved if every Stock Exchange applied a commission on all transactions. What a balanced world we would have. A world we could all be proud of RISING TO DAY AND TO MORROW.

Join me in the struggle. With the combined power of our Mobil phones we can make a stance.
