Continuing to Investigate, Explore, Research and Discover the Problem, Solutions and Rewards.

A reminder is that despite of me walking specific examples that had occur and still lived in Uzbekistan, we are dealing with Patterns that manifests in some way or another in other parts of the world.

 

I suggest reading the Previous blogs to enrich your understanding:

Human Sweatshops will END in Equal Money Capitalism - Day 275

Child labour in a System of Totalitarian control Will END in Equal Money Capitalism - Day 277

Water Crisis Will End in an Equal Money Capitalism - Day 278

Unemployment will END in an Equal Money Capitalism - Day 279

 

Within this blog, we will have a look at the Problems, Solutions and Rewards in relation to the Health Crisis that developed in Uzbekistan, once what used to be prosperity land, came to be one of the most concerning issue we must address immediately when the Value of World Consumerism override the Value of Life.

 

The Problem:

 

For further Context and thus Understanding, I suggest Reading:

the EJF 'White Gold' Report' (PDF)

The Aral Sea environmental health crisis (PDF)

Health and Ecological Consequences of the Aral Sea Crisis (PDF)

Uzbekistan - World Health Organization (PDF)

The Aral Sea Crisis - Environmental Impacts

 

The Poverty that manifested due to total diminishment of the Fisherman business that used to be 50% of Uzbekistan source of income and the Citizens exposure to toxic chemicals, has had a severe effect on the

well-being of the population. That, along with the increased level of Salinity, made sure that the Uzbek Citizens are in one of the most disturbing consequences of 'Wrongly' human intervention for the sake of Greed and Power.

 

Here are some Facts I took out from the ELJ Report but you can be certain that I did my research and cross referenced the Data that I'm about to show here:

 

1. The Karakalpaks (the People from the area of the Uzbekistan Aral Sea) are exposed to the 43 million tonnes of salt and pesticide laden dust created by the drying of the Aral. In some parts of the region up to 50%

of all reported deaths are respiratory in nature. (P.3) Data from 2001 show an increased incidence of obstructive lung disease and bronchial asthma in the Aral Sea area (P.31) (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Environmental Performance Review of Uzbekistan. Geneva: UN Economic Commission for Europe (2001)

12 years later, and still no solution and the problems are increasing.

 

image2. According to study funded by the NATO Science Program, One in every 20 children is born with an abnormality, and the rate of genetic (DNA) mutation amongst Karakalpaks is 3.5 times more than the normal rate. (P.5)

Increased accumulation genetic error due to exposure to pesticide residue could well explain the region’s abnormally high cancer rates. In particular, residents of Karakalpakstan suffer from the world’s highest rate of cancer of the oesophagus. (P.31)

 

3. Unable to grow vegetables in the salinated soil, and too poor to buy food from the bazaars, the population suffer from malnutrition. Almost all Karakalpaks suffer from anaemia: 87% of teenagers, 91% of non-pregnant

women, and 99% of pregnant women. Most of these women suffer complications during pregnancy and delivery including haemorrhages. Untreated anaemia in pregnancy and young children poses a high risk for weak immune systems and a risk of brain damage (P.30)

 

4. Karakalpakstan is also gripped by tuberculosis. The disease, common amongst the world’s poor, is present in epidemic proportions. Data for2002 show that the notified incidence for new infections of pulmonary tuberculosis in Karakalpakstan was 89 per 100,000. In areas closer to the sea infection rates were higher. These statistics place the region amongst the most tuberculosis infected regions of the former Soviet Union(P.30)

 

5. Pesticides, herbicides and defoliants applied on the cotton farms throughout Uzbekistan are carried by the Amu Darya to the Aral Sea basin where they enter the food chain. A 2001 study conducted by Médecins Sans Frontières and the 'WHO' found significant levels of persistent organochlorines (including PCBs, dioxins and DDT) in samples of beef, fish, eggs, milk, potato and rice.

Further studies have detected pesticide residues in samples of treated water and breast milk. These findings correlate with a marked rise in the incidence of immunological disorders, kidney disease, and allergy, liver pathologies and reproductive pathologies amongst Karakalpak populations (P.31)

 

The Solution:

 

Obviously, Reconstitution of the Area must be the First step we must focus on and within that, to find a solutions that would restore the Equilibrium, Balance and Harmony in the Aral Sea Area.

Poverty and the Consequences that come with Poverty should not be allowed in a world of plenty. What needs to be done beside the Reconstitution of Nature, is to develop and maintain an effective Distribution system that would allow ALL equal access to the world's Resources.

Here, I suggest reading through the blog: Day 175: The Economic Problem and Equal Money Capitalism

 

One of the main Equal Money System Goals is Logistics

"In the Equal Money System, the Banking System Infrastructure will become the Logistical System that manages and Allocates resources and goods to Each Individual in the World on an Equal Basis. And your bank card will become your Life Card, which you will swipe every time you Draw Goods and Services from the Global Life Support System. The Logistical System will make sure that each person receives their just dues and at the same time will prevent abuse and exploitation. Each person will have access to the Global System to review the current Status of Available Resources and to vote on effective distribution and allocation – and to place preference selections and make suggestions."

 

 

The Rewards:

 

At the individual Level - Dignified and Worthy Life for ALL and specifically for those who suffers from our lack of responsibility as we have blindly accepted and allowed the current condition to not only manifest but to also continue as it does.

One must understand that with effective management/Logistical system Every Human in this world will taken cared for. In that, Health Crisis will End and we will no longer have to carry the Sins of the Fathers that is currently passing on Generation after Generation on the DNA level.

 

On a Global Level - The End of ineffective Body Structure on a DNA level will cease to exists eventually which would result with the enhancement of Humanity as a whole.

Unemployment will END in an Equal Money Capitalism - Day 279

In my Previous Blog, we were Looking at The Water Crisis in Uzbekistan as a Result of 'Successful' Cotton Industries that Diverted the Natural Water Resource of the Aral Sea into Irrigation of the Cotton fields. Within that, the only beneficiaries were and still are the Totalitarian Government and us, the Consumers that are able to purchases cheap Cotton on the Expense of the Humans, Animal Kingdom and Nature in the Aral Sea Area of Uzbekistan.

 

In this Blog, we will Look at the Life of the People in the Aral Sea area from the Perspective of the Prosperity of those who where dependent on the Sea on an Economic Level and in the next blog, we will look at the Consequences they are facing Both Economically and Physically that had emerged from the Disappearance of the Aral Sea.

 

The Problem:

 

For further Context and thus Understanding, I suggest Reading:

the EJF 'White Gold' Report' (PDF)

The Aral Sea: a prime example of human recklessness

People of the Lake

THE PROBLEMS OF FISHERMEN IN THE SOUTHERN ARAL SEA REGION (PDF)

 

 

The 'Disappearance of the Aral Sea has been associated with the loss of thousands of jobs, especially in fishing related activities.

 

In the 1960s, the Soviet Union made the decision to build large pastoral dwellings for farmers and thus, long canals were created to irrigate the Farmer's Fields. Back then, the Aral sea had a commercial fishery that brought in more than 40,000 to 45,000 tonnes of fish each year. Thousands of fishermen worked the Aral, and others found jobs in processing plants, canneries and railroad yards, where train cars full of fish left daily for markets in Moscow.

 

Already in the 70ties, this dropped to 17,000 tonnes per year. The fish stock decreased further over the following years and families who had lived in the Aral Sea area for generations, making their living from fishing, either migrated or had to find new ways to earn money or… Remain unemployed.

The Testimonies of these families are quite frightening as their Life transformed from Prosperity to Absolute Poverty.

 

The Loss of Jobs and means to Survive is a Consequences we were all Directly Responsible for as it is us, who had accepted and allowed ourselves to be Brainwashed into Consumers that Buy and Buy and Buy without taking the Responsibility to investigate all things and keep that which is good. We are Responsible for the Lives of these Fisherman that are no longer able to Honourably support their Families but instead, strives for their Daily Survival.

As you would see in the next blog to come - The lost of their job is not even the Primary Consequences of the Aral Sea Diminishment. The Crucial Consequences is the Health Crisis that had manifested around the Aral Sea Area on a DNA level which would effect also the Generations to come.

 

The Solution:

There are already attempts to Save the Aral Sea however, so far, it was only been done on the North part of the Sea wherein the Uzbekistan People are still Desperate for a proper Solution that isn't coming and most likely won't come from their Totalitarian Government of Control and Greed.

 

However, in an Equal Money Capitalism where the Humans understand their Collective Responsibility for the better Life of ALL - the first step is to Investigate Solutions to Restore the Sea Level. We must Internalize that it was Humans who Created the Problem with the Aral sea, it must be Humans to find a solution to Undo/Correct the Problem and so, Prevent Future devastating Consequences.

 

The People around the Aral Sea Area will be Employed to Research their Resources and be Supported by the World until a solution is Established, Implemented and Sufficiently for a Dignified and Worthwhile Life.

 

Understand, at this stage, we do not have a specific Solutions for each specific Problems but what we do have is Principles - That which is best for all lives, Investigate all things and Keep that which is good and Give as You would like to Receive. Within theses Principles, we make sure that everyone are being considerate and taken cared for because that is what we would have like others to do for us.

 

Thus, Research and Investigation must be done and Solutions with the Utmost Potential outcomes must and will be Established and implemented in an Equal Money Capitalism.

 

The Rewards:

 

At an Individual Level, the Lives of those who Live around the Aral Sea will finally Restored to it's original form of Prosperity, Harmony and Joy. In this, when Life is no longer Defined by Survival, the people would be able to expand, explore and discover themselves in a way that would benefit themselves and us all.

 

On a Global level, this would be one step forwards to the Return of Harmony, Balance and Equilibrium on Earth which would result with Far more Balanced climate as it now where we experienced the consequences of Human Intervention with Extreme weather changes all around the world.
