Peddling poverty of the media only makes world poverty worse
Compassion for the innocent victims of disasters can only be truly realised when the 'givers' stop publicising what they do – the 'givers' have a long way to go.

The ‘givers’ lose every time that they appear on promotional clips and footage shown by the mainly western mass media outlets which focus on the areas of the many disasters that affect people in all parts of the world but which appear to be occurring more in the continents of Asia and Africa. One way or the other, the people who watch – and those who are ’hooked on watching’ – USA-controlled electronic and broadcast media, get to see and in fact know by name the many ’givers’ of alleged charity while they remain totally ignorant of the alleged ‘recipients’ of those charitable ‘giving’ acts.
This has become a ritual.
Almost as the fact of the broadcast and similar media have now occupied the attention of so many people across the ‘accessed world’ for the best party of the last 50 years so have the ‘acts’ of ‘giving’ on occasions of disasters have become predictable and lacking in substance.
The ritual has been made worse this week (3rd week of December 2005) by the USA propaganda event around the ‘Time magazine’ naming one of the Western pops
Promoters as being a major personality for his alleged role in pushing the Bush-fronted western leadership to show that they care for the victims of involuntary poverty in the world.
That claim is false and the Bush-fronted leadership is causing more poverty as time goes on than there would have been had the people in the countries where poverty is imposed listened to and allowed to get on with their use of their own resources without colonialist occupation interference and obstruction.
The poverty of thought, the poverty of imagination and the poverty of care that Bush-fronted media
Lines display shows that there is no real regime, no real atmosphere of compassion in the parts of the world where the haves hold sway over the plights of the have-nots of this world.
Far from being a cause for celebration the fact that the particular western pops promoter was named at all shows that the ‘givers’ concerned remain as ignorant
Of what causes involuntary poverty and what the victims of disasters actually suffer as they ever were.
It is time to stop allowing the ‘givers’, including their pops promoting tools of propaganda all credit and start to recognise the people who are the sufferers of the hardships, the famine, the starvation and the utter total robbery of all chances of life, which they encounter in these disasters.
