[Peace-discuss] only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air

[E. Wayne Johnson]

I saw this chart some where else a few days ago,
but there is a full article about it here:

FIG. 1: Time dependence of FAO Food Price Index from January 2004 to May 
2011.
  Red dashed vertical lines correspond to beginning dates of food riots 
and protests associated with
major unrest in North Africa and the Middle East. The overall death toll 
is reported in parentheses.
Blue vertical line indicates the date, December 13, 2010, on which NECSI 
submitted a report to the
U.S. government, warning of the link between food prices, social unrest 
and political instability.
Inset shows FAO Food Price Index from 1990 to 2011. Source NECSI.
