A fatalist Sha Zukang offers a pessimistic view of global food resources, calls for more CASH for UN, while offering “0” solutions

At a meeting yesterday on sustainable development, an unusual negativist - Sha Zukang, our dear leader, offered a very pessimistic view of the current global food and climate situation. He said that: -"food and financial crises to climate change are threatening global efforts to achieve development that is sustainable, or that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

This fatalistic approach is becoming the music of the day for most of liberal democrats and rejoicing the communists and socialists around the world, whom are finally seeing some sign of "failure of capitalism in the US", the same music has become a special tune for United Nations officials who see this as an opportunity to increase UN's budgets and embark into a spree of expenditures to "help the poor".

Those in the audience yesterday could easily understand that Sha Zukang's speech was not his and definitely he himself didn't understand what he was talking about. While he continued to use big words in a UN-ish barr-coded language he continued to make no sense in saying that: - “These multi-dimensional challenges do not have purely economic solutions, nor purely social or environmental ones. They require integrated solutions that combine economic, social and environmental elements,”.

If anyone in the street would hear this speech, first reaction would be what the hell this guy is saying? and second would be of what am I to expect from United Nations and/or Government as a result of this crisis? 

It seems that whoever wrote this speech forgot that since July 2008 the food prices around the world have declined sharply, and that thanks to the slow-down of the oil-prices and to a good harvest in late 2008 - the food availability is definitely not scarce. Sha Zukang continued to say that: -" food prices remain high, following on from last year’s crisis, and the global financial and economic slowdown has exacerbated the situation". Thank god none of DESA's speech writers are Wall-Street brokers otherwise we would have lost trillions - thanks to these ignorance.

But hey stop for a second and think - why would Sha Zukang be so fatalistic? Well he and his boss Ban Ki Moon needs more our tax-payers money to increase their non-transparent budgets and continue on the path of building a "world-government" which hopefully one day command markets and how people should leave (a kind of a global communism).

Dear Sha Zukang this is not China nor South Korea, so go sell your liberal and communist ideas somewhere else. If you really are committed to help the poor, start by overhauling DESA (which you promised 2 years ago) in which you:

1. Re-organize the current organigramme and align divisions to DESA's core mandates;
2. Re-organize current Human Resource structure(s) and streamline resources to meet real mandates and provide tangible savings;
3. Re-direct current resources to the poor by jump-starting programmes that aim for real poverty eradication and assist governments (member states) to affront current crisis better;
4. Re-assess DESA's current advisory services and retain the best quality advisors and get rid of junk and garbage that is killing our image and derailing needed funds to/for the poor;
5. Dismantle TCMS and get rid of technical cooperation since there are other parts of the organization who do it better;

Stop with the BS - Mr. Sha, do what you really do best, be yourself, be a good manager...that's what is required of you now.
