A couple of weeks back I reported on a "perfect storm brewing" as a consequence of rising food prices due to poor harvests. Global impoverishment due to the financial crisis will mean that rising food prices cause malnutrition and starvation. And the financial elite are capitalizing off of rising food prices, spiking them still higher:

Humanity is facing so many challenges and yet the solution our "leaders" offer is more of the same:
U.S. and Allies to Hold Gulf Military Exercise Reuters 17 September 12
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/16/us-usa-exercises-iran-idUSBRE88F0HN20120916
[Excerpted] Warships from around the world were assembling in the Gulf on Sunday for what the U.S. military described as the most widely attended international naval exercise ever held in the Middle East.
The exercise, which Washington says involves manoeuvres to improve mine detection and clearance, comes at a time of rising regional tensions over Iran's controversial nuclear programme.
Tehran has threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, through which 40 percent of the world's sea-borne oil exports passes, and target U.S. military bases in the region if it was attacked.
The U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said that the International Mine Countermeasures Exercise 12 involved vessels and officials from 30 countries in six continents. It did not name the participating nations....

The mid-East has already been fundamentally destabilized by new colonial initiatives pushed by the U.S. and the other global powers.
Is it really all about oil and other strategic resources in countries such as Afghanistan or are the drumbeats of war also a strategy for distracting domestic populations from the ongoing economic and financial crises that are engulfing us?
We are slowly but surely destroying the conditions necessary for successful human life on planet earth (see our vulnerable genome below) and now we are starting wars that polarize hidden players (such as Russia and China who support Iran), threatening to unleash an apocalypse that will finish more quickly our collective suicide.

You know the saying in the software world that "it's not a bug, it's a feature"? Similarly, killing off 50% of the planet and enslaving the rest is not a crisis, it's a solution. At least if you are a sick oligarch. Our problem is that we have allowed a depraved oligarchy to take over the Western world.
