CLINTON'S MENTOR ABOUT WORLD GOVERNMENT AGENDA

"... the powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim,
nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in
private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and
the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert,
by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."

--Dr. Carroll Quigley, author of " Tragedy and Hope "(1966), and
professor and mentor to William J. Clinton at Georgetown University.

ROCKEFELLER PLEADING FOR WORLD GOVERNMENT

"...But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to
march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries."
--(David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address before that organization in June of 1991).

This confirms the point about world government being the likely objective of multinationals and world finance leaders ("the intellectual elite").

A friend sent me a link to the very revealing insider story below [I have compressed it into a number of excerpts as it is quite long].

It is about the former chief of the world bank, Nobel Prize Laureate Joe Stiglitz. He was fired in 1999 because he voiced dissent with the World Bank globalization style. Stiglitz was also a member of Bill Clinton’s cabinet as Chairman of the President’s council of economic advisors.

The Globalizer Who Came In From the Cold
Observer, London
Wednesday, October 10, 2001

[Excerpts - numbering by me]:

1. "Step One [of the World Bank assistance strategy] is Privatization - which Stiglitz said could more accurately be called, ‘Briberization.’ Rather than object to the sell-offs of state industries, he said national leaders - using the World Bank’s demands to silence local critics - happily flogged their electricity and water companies. "You could see their eyes widen" at the prospect of 10% commissions paid to Swiss bank accounts for simply shaving a few billion off the sale price of national assets."
...

2. "After briberization, Step Two of the IMF/World Bank one-size-fits-all rescue-your-economy plan is ‘Capital Market Liberalization.’ In theory, capital market deregulation allows investment capital to flow in and out. Unfortunately, as in Indonesia and Brazil, the money simply flowed out and out. Stiglitz calls this the "Hot Money" cycle. Cash comes in for speculation in real estate and currency, then flees at the first whiff of trouble. A nation’s reserves can drain in days, hours. And when that happens, to seduce speculators into returning a nation’s own capital funds, the IMF demands these nations raise interest rates to 30%, 50% and 80%. "The result was predictable," said Stiglitz of the Hot Money tidal waves in Asia and Latin America. Higher interest rates demolished property values, savaged industrial production and drained national treasuries."

3. "At this point, the IMF drags the gasping nation to Step Three: Market-Based Pricing, a fancy term for raising prices on food, water and cooking gas. This leads, predictably, to Step-Three-and-a-Half: what Stiglitz calls, ‘The IMF riot.’ The IMF riot is painfully predictable. When a nation is, "down and out, [the IMF] takes advantage and squeezes the last pound of blood out of them." ..."The IMF riots (and by riots I mean peaceful demonstrations dispersed by bullets, tanks and teargas) cause new panicked flights of capital and government bankruptcies. This economic arson has it’s bright side - for foreign corporations, who can then pick off remaining assets, such as the odd mining concession or port, at fire sale prices. "

4. "Now we arrive at Step Four of what the IMF and World Bank call their "poverty reduction strategy": Free Trade. This is free trade by the rules of the World Trade Organization and World Bank, Stiglitz the insider likens free trade WTO-style to the Opium Wars. "That too was about opening markets," he said...In the Opium Wars, the West used military blockades to force open markets for their unbalanced trade. Today, the World Bank can order a financial blockade just as effective - and sometimes just as deadly...By the way, don’t be confused by the mix in this discussion of the IMF, World Bank and WTO. They are interchangeable masks of a single governance system."

5. "Stiglitz greatest concern is that World Bank plans, devised in secrecy and driven by an absolutist ideology, are never open for discourse or dissent. Despite the West’s push for elections throughout the developing world, the so-called Poverty Reduction Programs "undermine democracy. And they don’t work. Black Africa’s productivity under the guiding hand of IMF structural "assistance" has gone to hell in a handbag. Did any nation avoid this fate? Yes, said Stiglitz, identifying Botswana. Their trick? "They told the IMF to go packing.""

6. "Ultimately, what drove him to put his job on the line was the failure of the banks and US Treasury to change course when confronted with the crises - failures and suffering perpetrated by their four-step monetarist mambo. Every time their free market solutions failed, the IMF simply demanded more free market policies. "It’s a little like the Middle Ages," the insider told me, "When the patient died they would say, ‘well, he stopped the bloodletting too soon, he still had a little blood in him.’"

COMMENT

Many critics of this system have been called conspirationalists, alarmists or anticapitalistic extremists by the World Bank, IMF, WTO who, to confuse the public, are using PR firms who are skilfull attitude manipulators.

But Stiglitz actually invented the system that he found rotten as practiced by the World Bank-IMF. And he was in the very heart of power as World Bank Chief and cabinet member of the US president. Therefore the revealing information by this Nobel Prize winner is a most powerful and competent condemnation of the system that right now reaping its "triumphs" in Argentina, where you will most certainly soon find the jackals come in engulfing what is edible - "This economic arson has it’s bright side - for foreign corporations, who can then pick off remaining assets...at fire sale prices. "

This article further confirms my point about "...a systematic weakening of third world countries by forcing them into serious debt traps through the actions of IMF and the World Bank."

...It mentions also "capitalism". And in this connection capitalism means the form of capitalism that we have been seeing displaying very negative aspects in its behaviour, like the capitalism of Enron and the capitalism of Monsanto, the capitalism of the pharmaceutal companies and the armament companies, whose object is to create wealth for themselves by devouring what is good in the world and violating all basic principles, virtually, of human decency in their behaviour to even the poorest nations of the world.

This is a very great danger to the present age. This dominance of one nation and the support of its corporations in this devouring, rampaging role in the world. It needs to be restored to balance the world economy to make sure that all peoples of the world have affluence and have all that is good and healthy and progressive in life...

This kind of capitalism is not the ultimate form of economics, as America seems to think. Some people have been defending Enron by saying, "Business is risky and sometimes things go wrong". But it is not like that.

These are quite conscious, nefarious policies, that have been adopted by these companies to build up a chimerical reality of their company as a wealthy company. And to do anything through political influence to create this image of their company in different countries of the world, that would force those local governments there, to do what was ever required by that company through the pressure of the US government.

This [the Enron scandal] is a good revelation, I think. It exposes now the situation that there is in the world. It really is awakening the world population to the reality of American capitalism, as it now is.

It is most certainly not, as America thinks, the end of history, the ultimate form of economic achievement. It is not a form of economy that is in favor of a balanced world economy with wealth for everyone.

It is not in favor of stability for the world economy, avoiding these collapses and disasters. It is not in favor of the good of the world in terms of the health of people and the happiness and peace of the people in the world.

This form of economics is not the ultimate form of economics. The ultimate form of economics is going to emerge as world consciousness purifies itself. These kinds of practices of these companies will be exposed more and more and will not succeed in the world. And a better and more balanced form of economics that benefits all our six billion family and friends of our world population -- that form of economics is going to emerge.
