I retract any personal references:

But many journalists I have met that jet into poverty spots round the World also support and provide copy for international media that persuades Indian farmers, for example, to buy, products ( seeds, herbicides etc. ) that promise rewards ; but in reality the result is the loss of land and more poverty, possibly suicides.

Yes, sweet grapes drop to journalists from the vineyards of the rich capitalist owners with their luxury yachts; vineyards using near slave labor.

Journalists, in general, I have found, support the system with their training in mind control, write for the capitalist media pick many sweet grapes unconcious most times of the consequences of their actions or subsequent impact.

Governments in turn support the organisations of poverty.
I don't think anyone sets out to malign poor people but certainly that's what we do through organizations such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

I accept your retraction

And certainly my personal views are closer to Geldorf's than many people on this Board.

You are right in your observations. No one of the mainstream press contacted me even though I have FILED from Haiti as an accredited journalist.

A few of them contacted me via the blog that I have been writing for four years-- mostly wanting information on where they should go.

Ditto on the WB and IMF but they are really TRYING now.. to do good projects and have VERIFIED results in the field. You have only to read Steiglitz and Easterly to know that these are often VERY good men and women with great intentions. And there are no problems that are seen outside -- say from the picket lines=- which have not been seen AND WRITTEN ABOUT by people from high up in these institutions

For you information

here is a project which -- although it is Christian-- and I am normally quite frightened of anything with that label

appears to have it right
