Quote by: Milton Bradley  Id say this was the correct forum, because all of these problems arise from the grand conspiracy to defraud the Third World through institutions like The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the UN.
Its all planned disenfranchisement, and it's the most cited reason our enemies admit to disliking us.
Firstly, why should it? Is it our responsibility to represent everybody elses value systems? No.
The problems arise from supporting criminal institutions that were founded for no other reason than to divert attention away from the US, even though alll of the above mentioned institutions carry out the very vision they were created to accomplish, US policy. |
I do not understand your reply, however, I really like phrase "planned disenfranchisement" That is exactly the concept I needed to understand what is wrong with this:

Alternative To IMF And World Bank Dominance
The scheme is called debt slavery because new loans are needed to service old ones, indebtedness rises, and borrowing terms stipulate harsh one-way "structural adjustment" provisions that include:
-- privatizations of state enterprises;
-- government deregulation;
-- deep cuts in social spending;
-- wage freezes or cuts;
-- unrestricted free market access for foreign corporations;
-- corporate-friendly tax cuts; -- crackdowns on trade unionists; and
-- savage repression for non-believers under a system incompatible with social democracy.
Everywhere the scheme is the same: huge public wealth transfers to elitist private hands, exploding public debt, an ever-widening disparity between the super-rich and desperate poor, and an aggressive nationalism to justify huge spending on security for aggressive surveillance, mass incarceration plus repression and torture for social control.

The autocrats are reducing the rest of us to slaves with "planned disenfranchisement", and doing all that we can, to stop this happening is promoting democracy. This does not taking mean being responsible for everyone else's value system. It means protecting democracy and our own values. Autocracy is the enemy of democracy and we should not allow it to comsume us and the rest of the world.
