In Saving Africa From Lies That Kill, Kay Kiser exposes the long-standing crimes committed against developing nations by the United Nations, World Bank, USAID and Planned Parenthood.Under their guise of "aid," these organizations mire the underprivileged in isolation, poverty, sickness, and ignorance. In her book, Kiser argues: Poverty, not overpopulation, causes environmental damage. Higher standards of living and lower infant mortality can improve the environment and stabilize the population. Developing nations need access to reliable electricity in order to end energy poverty. This will, in turn, provide clean water, develop transportation, and power hospitals, homes and industrial investment. The Green Revolution and modern agriculture can feed everyone and end deforestation. Fortunately, you can do something about the problem-and Kiser shows you how!
