MB [Mae Brussell]: Just read your morning paper, and see what is taking place in India, Ethiopia, Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. There are food riots in India. Ethiopia is exporting food, while at the same time, one million Ethiopians are starving. If the Ethiopians are eliminating huge masses of their population, we could do the same thing. One article in this morning's paper stated that the "famine in Ethiopia is bringing prosperity." You might even say we are helping to test out the process. If we allow these things to happen, we will follow their example in a short period of time. With scarcities of food, water, and energy, riots and murders begin to take place that seem to call for punishment of the most "violent" kind. The evidence of planned genocide is there, right in front of us, if we take the trouble to piece it together.
SC: It is true that what seems to be artificially created scarcities of gasoline, and food staples such as meat and grain, have forced prices up to a point where it is becoming more and more difficult for people to feed themselves and their families. "Famine" is a word that couldn't be used in polite society to refer to conditions in democratic, freedom-loving America; but it is easy to see how these conditions could be pushed slightly further, to the point where it would become impossible for large masses of people to obtain food. We seem to be straying from the subject of the Hearst kidnapping.
MB: Keep in mind that the Hearst script is only the beginning. Wait and see what follows. The poor were lined up for food. The food was thrown at them. A suggestion was made by Governor Reagan that they should be fed "botulism." The stage is set for looking at hungry people and insulting them for their lack of "appreciation"...and acceptance of bags of cabbages disguised as steaks.

"There is absolutely nothing we can do about this" is the cheap excuse used by those so-called Christians to absolve themselves of responsibility. "Life," after all, is just a spectator sport.

Other people's lives are just toys to be manipulated in an endlessly sick, perverse game of power and control.
