The Blue Print
on The National Security Council:
The outcome of the Sumatra volcanic eruption in February has had a colossal effect on everyone. Temperatures across the world have hit an all time low, in late June there has been snowfall in New England and China and there is a record high of starvation around the world. Aside from that, the government is being crucified for its response, or lack thereof, to this crisis.
For farmers this is a complete economic catastrophe! Some regions, such as the Northeast and Midwest, have had their crops completely wiped out. As result of the downfall of crops, prices have risen putting many Americans below the poverty line.
Nearly 1/3 of the US population is suffering from malnutrition and more than 15,000 people have died of starvation. In Pakistan alone more than one million people have died. Speaking on behalf of President Asif Ali Zardari the ambassador of Pakistan said he is well aware of the issue and believes that they are distributing food as efficient as possible.
The National Security Conference discussed the best way to deal with this catastrophe. After meeting with the ambassador of Pakistan they would not discuss what further plans were to be done.
A possible solution from the NSC is to give the Pakistani people one billion dollars for food yet nothing has been decided as of now. Unfortunately, upon trying to obtain more information delegates refused to answer questions and HMC Media was forcibly removed from their most recent session.
The problem is ever present but the solution still remains a mystery.
