Today I wish to familiarise my readers with the person John Perkins. Mr. Perkins has wide experience with the private sector in the states associated with facilitating international industrial expansion. What does this mean you ask? Well I will so gentle as to let a short animation tell the story for you.
For a full personal account on Mr. Perkins' personal experiences and knowlegde from the inside of this business check this interview.
So what have we here then? The initial response you are suppose to extract from this is obviously that this is how guerilla fighters and “terrorists” are made. That is the main point. And it makes reasonable sense. I do not know your personal standpoint on whether terrorism goes before empire expansion or whether you think it is the other way around, but those two elements certainly seem linked together.
What else can we extract? We can look at how a country is flooded with debt and cheap industrial pollution to make it another production chamber to keep our ever growing consumption rates rising. Turn that around again and you will note that most of the things on your desk you are sitting at right now were probably produced in some poor country that was exploited in this fashion. The IMF and the World Bank accepts this as collateral damage, and this should solidify the argument that they most certainly are western banks for the west – not the world.
This growth economy has to stop before the last tree is cut down and the last lake is polluted with oil waste.
