The United States media will not publicize what is happening in Africa, but starvation is at epic proportions throughout Africa once again; 25,000 people die daily from famine in Africa, but we don't hear about it (www.wfp.org).  Can you imagine watching your child literally drop dead slowly from starvation?  This is what these people are going through, but the news conspiracy here in America will not allow that news to get to you.  Our government wants everyone here to have a false sense of security and well-being.  In the US, it seems everyone is more concerned about the financial crisis we are in because so many here must live above their means, especially the US government!  "Nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.
