I set up the Famine Early Warning System (FEWS.net) in the 1980s because of famine in Africa. Food is not difficult even with locusts, floods, drought, no labor, no seed, and many difficult things humans have faced. But “a country uses starvation”, hands off. “Monitor and act”, no.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You are right, but “inequity” is rampant, where a very few millions make decisions affecting 8.1 Billion. And there is no recourse, no monitor that matters. Some UN work is good, but it does not monitor itself. And will not act openly when it needs to.<\/p>\n

They told me to do it for Africa, but I designed it for the whole world and all things. FEWS is a failure because it does not address those responsible for most “famines”. It could change quite a few “unsolvable problems”.<\/p>\n

In the 26 years of the Internet Foundation, I have found many fake cries for help, because it gets to be an easy way to rake in money. Now any hurricane, flood, pandemic, disease, war, earthquake permits massive fund raising and no “monitor that matters”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Often it is a kids game, “don’t step over that border, no matter what is happening”.<\/p>\n
