4 peacebuilding factors that increase the incidence of peace & decrease the incidence of violence are: expanded economic opportunities for women, expanded educational opportunities for children, reduction of violence against women, & the amelioration of unnecessary human despair.

We should see large groups of desperate people as a national security risk. Desperate people do desperate things, and are more vulnerable to ideological capture by genuinely psychotic forces. Anything that helps people thrive increases the probability of peace on earth.

Most heinous acts are not committed by desperate people Marianne. Messages such as these create fear. Desperate people are worrying about survival.

What has Christianity done when it comes to the poor and wretched in America? So much God-talk in a nation that VILIFIES the vulnerable!

I don't think that's a good way of phrasing it, there are MANY reasons for people to be desperate, poverty, dire living conditions, phrasing them as a threat could blend with seeing them as the enemy, as is now happening by corporate controlled governance..

She's not saying that desperate people are the enemy. She's saying that desperation itself and the circumstances you mentioned that create it are the enemy. Many crimes and acts of violence are acts of desperation. Remove the desperation & they are prevented.
