Wall Street's Hand in Causing the Food Crisis in Egypt

submitted by Desviada

1 decade 3 years 3 months 2 weeks ago

Brief overview of Wall Street's role in food shortages world-wide, which tend to lead to political instability (not too mention malnutrition and starvation). Skyrocketing food prices, unemployment, inflation, and insufficient wages are motivating a good majority of the protesters in Egypt.

Good video. However,

-There is alot more to the people's movements in the Arab world then the high price of food. Food prices are only a particular among many forms of oppression that they have been experiencing for a long time
-When the video focuses on Egypt, the clip is of protestors shouting "allahu akbar", furthering the stereotype (which benefits US imperialist interest btw) that the unrest in Egypt is related to Islam, which it is not.

The breadbasket of the Mediterranean imports wheat, wth?
