or MIGs or like any aircraft I had ever seen before. They were metallic silver and saucer-shaped. We couldn’t get close enough to form any idea of their size; they were just too high. “‘For the next two or three days the saucers passed over the base daily.’... economic trade. For every $1 that is put into economic trade, $66 are put into high-risk speculation. Less than three decades ago, the ratio of speculation to trade was 4 to 1. When economic trade transactions are deducted from economic and financial transactions, what remains is the reality of speculative transactions creating debt for nations while amassing tremendous hordes of wealth for the few. . . . “On May 3, 1957, Cooper was a captain in charge of a film crew within the Air Force’s Experimental Flight Test Engineering Division at Edwards Air Force Base. His crew reported that while they were filming the landing of a test plane that morning, a ‘strange’ silver saucer-shaped craft flew over them, hovered and landed about 50 yards away after extending three landing gear. The crew filmed the entire event.” 40 Violent Behavior One of our few self-deprecating cultural myths is that humans are the only animal that kills for fun, pleasure, sport, etc. Solid evidence that this is hogwash has existed at least since January 1974, when members of Jane Goodall’s research team in Tanzania watched a group of eight chimpanzees gather, purposely walk out of their territory and into that of another chimp community, and proceed to brutalize a lone male they found in a tree. One chimp held him down while the others savagely beat him almost to death for ten minutes. Having had their fun, the chimps left. Their victim crawled away and was never seen again. 41 On a related note, humans don’t have a monopoly on rape either. Males of several species—including primates (especially orangutans), elephant seals, scorpion flies, and several types of duck— have routinely been observed violently forcing themselves on females who have expressed no interest in mating with them. 42 The World Economy “The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Te l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n s (SWIFT), the primary system for sending international payments, was installed in 1973. A cooperative owned by over 2,200 banks worldwide, including 150 from the US, it operates in 190 countries with the US accounting for more usage than any other nation. Over 7,000 institutions worldwide use SWIFT 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “SWIFT is technically a message system, rather than an Electronic Funds Transfer system (EFTS). However, for many purposes it is considered an EFTS because it provides the instructions to move money’s ownership from bank to bank around the planet. Its activities are crucial. Messages from SWIFTinstruct a bank to make payment, and the bank then transfers from one account to another on its books. Approximately $5 trillion was transferred every day during 1999, and annual message volumes rose from 3.2 million in 1977 to 604 million in 1995 to over a billion in 1999. “For every $1 that is put into economic trade, $66 are put into high-risk speculation.” “The Clearing House for Interbank Payments Systems (CHIPS) is the central clearing system in the United States for international transactions, handling over 95 percent of all dollar payments in the world. It is an online, electronic payment system that transfers funds and settles transactions in US dollars, the common currency of international business. CHIPS—which is privately owned and operated by its member banks—began operations in 1970. As of July 2000, there were 80 CHIPS participants representing financial institutions from over 20 countries. According to a paper coauthored by Russell C. Kick—a professor of MIS (management information systems) and head of the e-commerce program at National University, as well as the father of this book’s editor—and G.A. Swanson—a professor of accounting at Tennessee Technological University: “The world’s economic activities are more centrally controlled and more overwhelmingly huge than most people realize. A new supranational system, a product of the information and financial revolutions, has come into existence relatively suddenly. Over $1.4 t r i l l i o n daily—equivalent to over $250 for every man, woman, and child on Earth—is moved by real-time computer systems into the seamless worldwide electronic financial marketplace solely for the purpose of speculation. On the other hand, only about $20 billion daily—representing 1.5 percent of the speculative funds—is employed for actual “CHIPS is the focal point and facilitator of the global economy and world financial marketplace. In 1997 CHIPS handled, on the average, $1.4 trillion daily, an amount equal to approximately 22 percent of the United States’ money supply. On November 28 of that year, CHIPS set a single-day record by processing over $2.2 trillion. The amount of money processed dipped a little in the two subsequent years, but the amounts for 2000 are back at 1997 levels.” 43 World Hunger World hunger is not caused by the inability of the earth to provide enough food for the teeming billions. Instead, it is caused by economic and political power structures. You are Being Lied To 372
“Perhaps one of the most fallacious myths propagated by Green Revolution advocates is the assertion that high-yielding varieties [of food crops] have reduced the acreage under cultivation, therefore preserving millions of hectares of biodiversity.... “A study comparing traditional polycultures with industrial monocultures shows that a polyculture system can produce 100 units of food from 5 units of input, whereas an industrial system requires 300 units of input to produce the same 100 units. The 295 units of wasted inputs could have provided 5,000 units of additional food. Thus the industrial system leads to a decline of 5,900 units of food. This is a recipe for starving people, not for feeding them.” 44 According to another source: “Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are extremely densely populated, but do not suffer from any shortage of food. In fact, heavily industrialized Japan, where farmland is at a premium, nevertheless produces as much rice as Burma, which is twice as large and entirely rural, while France produces more wheat than Argentina and Australia combined. Meanwhile, Cuba, Honduras and Angola have food shortages but have plenty of arable land.... “In Honduras, multinational corporations own most of the arable land and use it to raise export crops. In Cuba, Castro imposes a communist-style agricultural system on his society, fearing that if farmers were allowed to freely market their food it would weaken his control.... 1 . Friedman, John.

The effort World hunger is not caused by the inability of the earth to provide enough food for the teeming billions. seemed to go for nothing—food rotted on the wharves as people continued to starve. It became clear that the Ethiopian government was using starvation to break the Eritrean insurgency.” 45 It should also be noted that gangs in developing countries often steal entire shipments of food sent as relief. 46 Endnotes Appendix A :M o re Lies, M y t h s,and Manipulat i o n s Russ Kick 373
