Bill Gates has given untold millions to fund the World Health Organization. They've been caught secretly administering abortifacients (drugs or other agents that induce abortions) in serums to third-world women.

its a beast with alot of different heads. these heads are different, they have different brains. they do not think alike exactly, but they have to look after the same body, no matter how different they think and appear. the beast's heads will try to unite as one. by imposing thier beliefs on eachother, one head believes in one god, most others another. the wisest one severs himself, but the more clever one believes he is god.people, pay attention these next few years.

I bet a huge food shortage would clean up a lot of unsutainable resources, then Africa could become something that supports life, instead of leading to more suffering.

I think one point that is going unnoticed here is the issue of overpopulation. The famine and the disease, are all primary indications of an areas inability to support a population. I know, "thinning the herd", is a really shitty way to describe theses situations, but if everyone was healthy and prosperous, then ultimately, know one would be. The earth provides enough resources for a certain populace. If we interfere to much we will strain Earths resources, and we will all suffer.
