I'm going to continue with the theme of the grossness of billionairism. The United Nations announced today that they only need $670m to bring their budget up to the required amount to deal with the crisis in Somalia. Every second a little child is dying of starvation and thirst. That took five seconds to say. Five dead children. Most under two years old. Could someone in Ireland offer up a billionaire? I know if you have one going into your local golf club, you will probably want to be protective of him. You know what I mean, a nod and a wink. An Irish nod and a wink. You know like in Haughey's GUBU days. You know what I mean. You are probably so proud that you were in the same building as a billionaire that you were telling all your friends, describing his two cars outside. His chauffeur. His security man. And I'm sure he showed everyone appreciation with a free drink and a backhander to the local police to keep the Club open for a couple of hours after time. Remember that short sentence that killed five babies a few minutes ago? How many tens of thousands more has a billionaire sentenced since then?
If you know a billionaire, give him up. We only need $670m off him. He'll have plenty left for his chauffeur driven cars, his holiday villas outside Ireland. He can even claim taxes back on every dead baby he saves!! Rupert Murdoch might even publish a nice story about him. He Saved the African People!!
On a more serious theme. The United Nations also announced that it's official. There's a famine in Somalia. It took them TEN MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND REFUGEES to enter Kenya and other countries bordering Somalia before the Famine was announced. And the deaths of ten thousand babies. My point in adding this particular blog is the distraction of the charitable organisations in the blurb of pleas for help. Nothing has changed since the last time. Drought, crop failures, refugees, mass exodus.
Drought is caused by lack of water. Lack of water is caused by lack of rain. Technology has solved this problem in Saudi Arabia, full of Billionaires, Kuwait, full of billionaires, and Iran full of Radiated Billionaires. Somalia and Kenya lie on the Indian Ocean. Desalination plants to turn sea water into fresh drinking water are all over the middle east. In rich oil countries. The present Famine in Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia is as much the fault of Charities as it is of Governments. To prevent drought you need water, to prevent Famine you need to prevent Drought. To prevent starvation you need to produce food. To produce food you need to provide water. It's a vicious circle. Billionaires have all the answers. If we could find one, besides Rupert Murdoch. (and James). The Indian Ocean is very big. One hundred Desalination plants would stop all famine in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya forever. But they are not oil producing countries.
I think Somalia should do what the Irish are doing. We in Ireland have a rumour out there, that there is €470 billion worth of oil under our Shell oil discovery on the West Coast of County Mayo. It's already been confirmed that there is €300 billion of Shell Gas there and Ireland will profit by €300m. Good arithmetic's. Anyhow anyone who can offer up a billionaire it would be appreciated. On the Island of Ireland. Name them and I won't shame them. I'll just pass the name onto Revenue and the Somalian Children's Graveyard Association. Come on Irish people!! Admit how many billionaires you know. Start a Register of Billionaires: Ireland.Com. This is a Public Announcement. Billlionaires Needed. Your favourite billionaire.ie A baby a minute saved.
