Poverty, Inc.

[Brexiter]

“I see multiple colonial governors,” says Ghanaian software entrepreneur Herman Chinery-Hesse of the international development establishment in Africa. “We are held captive by the donor community.”

The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of development, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry — the business of doing good has never been better.

Yet the results have been mixed, in some cases even catastrophic, and leaders in the developing world are growing increasingly vocal in calling for change.

Drawing from over 200 interviews filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable side of charity we can no longer ignore.

From TOMs Shoes to international adoptions, from solar panels to U.S. agricultural subsidies, "Poverty, Inc." challenges each of us to ask the tough question: Could I be part of the problem?

"From TOMs Shoes to international adoptions,

"Poverty, Inc." challenges each of us to ask the
tough question: Could I be part of the problem?"

Certainly it is the problem of mankind where the
constructive spirit of helping those in need is ruined
by unknowing challenging the Universal law.

The worldly activities of supposed "meaningful" to those
in need may easily fall prey to duplicity, illegality,
abuse of power and cultivated ignorance.

When no one is brave enough to come out to instill
"iron sharpens iron" there will be no correction of mistakes
and of making bold radical changes.

Man's wisdom is often selfish - buy one give one.

However the
universal wisdom gives us what we need
and not what we want.

It is man's selfishness that got the poor becomes poorer
and the wealthy becomes wealthier.

It is time that someone is brave enough to stand up
with the authority to get the poor, the wealthy and
the filthy rich to attend lessons in the same class together
at the Life Long Learning Institute.

Next is to get the learning process law to be implemented
that all must relearn what has been learned and built two
more units of the LLI within the next two years so that by
2020 our nation won't be in despair that no one has thought
of getting things done quickly and urgently NOW as the future
isn't going to be easy.

1. To learn the purpose of living is to help others.
2. To learn why serving the nation is the answer.
3. To learn that all is one no matter what skin colour you have.
4. To learn that the heart and the mind is the seed of all
cruel deeds, hatred, jealousy, greed and selfishness.

“I see multiple colonial governors,” says Ghanaian
software entrepreneur Herman Chinery-Hesse of
the international development establishment in Africa.
“We are held captive by the donor community.”

We have not learn or even want to practice the
universal law:

When you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before
you before you, so that you may be praised by others.

Simply as it is, but man just couldn't follow this instruction.
