The number of children poverty-murdered through intentional policy is so large, these lives are hard to imagine.

We owe our young brothers and sisters a moment to do just that.

Helpless human beings are sacrificed by 1% “elite’s” worship of money and power. These war-mongers, looters, and media-liars lord over ~$30 trillion dollars in tax-free accounts while imposing gruesomely slow, agonizing deaths upon a million children every month. The total investment to save these lives is ~$1 trillion.

Those of us who grew the citizen’s lobby to end domestic and global poverty, RESULTS, helped cause two UN Summits for heads of state. All we’ve ever received from both US parties’ “leaderships” since the 1990 World Summit for Children is empty rhetoric, every public and private promise reneged, and corporate media lies of omission and commission to “cover” these poverty-murders from public recognition (for a stunning example, see what the NY Times chose to “report”). 

Since 9/11, US reneged promises to end poverty have killed over 100 million children, twice the number of children enrolled in pre-kindergarten to 12th grade in the US. 

Since the 1%’s reneged promises from our second UN Summit, on microcredit in 1997, the total deaths from preventable poverty is conservatively greater than from all wars, revolutions, murders, accidents, and suicides in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Since the 1990 World Summit for Children where the promise to end poverty was again sincerely pledged, total deaths from poverty eclipse all the above categories of death in all known human history.* 

Please read the preceding three paragraphs a second time, and feel the impact of the 1%’s murderous “leadership” and lies.

The leverage point to remove the 1% is for those among the 99% with arrest authority to exercise it for “emperor has no clothes” obvious ongoing crimes; perhaps the most obvious as War Crimes and murders of US soldiers who were lied-into unlawful wars, bankster looting of trillions, and media lying sacks of spin as required accomplices to hide these OBVIOUS crimes.

It’s either arrest the 1% psychopaths who smile as they lie and kill, or suffer all the consequences of allowing these poverty-murders to continue, month after month, million after million.

Of course, we welcome the 1%’s “Scrooge conversions” to reclaim their hearts and join us as heroes. 

*Assuming 16 years of poverty deaths totaling 225 million and 23 years at 400 million (poverty deaths have decreased over the past 20 years) compared to the estimates of 160 million war deaths from Scaruffi, P., Wars and Casualties of the 20th and 21st Centuries, and 230 million from Leitenberg, M, Deaths in Wars and Conflicts in the 20th Century, (along with the relatively smaller numbers for murders, accidents, and suicides). Total global deaths in recorded history is probably a safe estimate given a global population of ~1.6 billion in 1900. My assignment for high school students on ending poverty with all of the documentation: The Economics of Ending Poverty. Despite the investment to save a million children’s lives each month from preventable poverty being just 0.7% of our gross national income, despite that every historical case of ending poverty reduces population growth rates, and despite US promises to make that investment at global summits, the 1% “leadership” in government and corporate media renege and ignore all promises to end this crushing torture, these excruciating and prolonged deaths of children.
