Poverty is the state for the majority of the world’s people and nations. Why is this? Is it enough to blame poor people for their own predicament? Have they been lazy, made poor decisions, and been solely responsible for their plight? What about their governments? Have they pursued policies that actually harm successful development? Such causes of poverty and inequality are no doubt real. But deeper and more global causes of poverty are often less discussed. 

Behind the increasing interconnectedness promised by globalization are global decisions, policies, and practices. These are typically influenced, driven, or formulated by the rich and powerful. These can be leaders of rich countries or other global actors such as multinational corporations, institutions, and influential people. 

In the face of such enormous external influence, the governments of poor nations and their people are often powerless. As a result, in the global context, a few get wealthy while the majority struggle. 

As the agenda toward depopulating the world continues poverty will become more widespread and the differences between the wealthy and the poor will become even more daunting than it presently is. The gap between the wealthy and the poor has more involved than the economic as recent studies indicate the wealthy live 12 years longer, on average, than the poor in the United States. The wealthy have better healthcare, less stress, better living conditions, better educational opportunities, that all tend to prolong their life expectency.

One might ask whether the drastic changes that have been taking place in the United States in the past three decades has been designed toward the depolpulating agenda of the Committee of 300, or has merely been a part of change that has come by "chance". You be the judge of that, we have our opinion.
