Hello John --
As pictures of empty grocery store meat counters began to compete
with pictures of euthanized livestock herds, the LaRouche movement is
acting. At last weekend's Schiller Institute conference, a panel of
American farm leaders stunned their international audience: the system
of food production in the United States is rapidly reaching a breaking
point. They also made clear that the pandemic is but the last straw in
a decades-long assault on our independent producers by a global system
run by cartels and financiers.
Tonight's Fireside Chat will host several of the
participants in that panel.
The farm sector typifies the predatory practices imperiling humanly
essential sectors of the U.S. economy. Big cartels, financed by Wall
Street, hedge funds, and foreign “investors” dominate the supply chain
seeking the lowest price possible for the farmers’ labor. The cartels’
processing plants employ low wage workers under savage working
conditions and were an easy target for the virus. Reorganizing the
farm sector, once shown to be capable of feeding the entire world
while providing its farmers a living wage, is an imperative coming out
of this crisis. And this is urgent. Providing a reliable food supply
to nations in the world still targeted by the virus, like the nations
of Africa, will determine whether this plague results in a mass
genocide.
