[mercofspeech]

I like Max, but he sounds sooo much like Norm MacDonald.

Charles: Simple and Straight-Forward -- Well said!

We need to consolidate our arguments for facility sake and for ease of understanding -- I make the same argument only slightly different. The latter is important -- simple messages made from 360 degrees.

This will be very vital to changing hearts and minds from Welfarist and Warfarist (Groupist) to Individual-Anarchist (Liberty).

@charlesrosaly They get it by printing it, every time someone takes out a loan.

Excellent video. A bit dated (Paul's not there anymore - perhaps the subject of an upcoming video??).

The origin of the WB and its real purpose. John Perkins, economic hit man, explains WHY certain countries were chosen to receive these loans. It had absolutely nothing to do with the country's need.

[zwacklmann]

Thank you AlJazeera.

[ogjimkenobi]

wow what a facinating video, i wonder if any country was happy with there loan. i mean when you accept a loan you agree to the conditions of it, they are rarely free.

[eyeofhebeholder1]

I agree w/ much of Keiser's clips, but no corporate-controlled would want to create a world full of poverty because they'd have no one to purchase their goods. I'm sure it's not quite so simple, but if we all had the buying power of the average Ethiopian, multi-nationals would fold. The fact that this info is out means there's something else coming which isn't 'out' yet.

[daniel987878]

It may seem counterintuitive but international corporations would prefer a world full of poverty. This is because the people that control the corporations want power not money as they already own the banking system and print all the money they need. If you keep people poor and dependent on your corporate system then you will have greater control over them.

[fuckysuckyjamtits]

Daniel is right here. It seems paradoxical when profit is god, but it's not. The film Endgame covers this, on why the banking elite want power, not money. When you can make money from nothing, what's it's value?

[editor2325]

Max Keiser is great.

[ellisdrummond]

You mean, "Failed states are increasingly trapped in a cycle of poverty and violence. The solution is for the United States and its allies to learn to love imperialism -- again." - Sebastian Mallaby?

[ellisdrummond]

Crafty liars. The loans made to puppet neocolonial regimes were made on basis of export driven economies to drain resources whose prices MNC's control. The work had to be performed by the same MNC engineering firms. Finally the terms were outrageous. U.S. slavery replaced Western Europeans. Period.

[MikeT2005]

Read "The World's Banker" by Sebastian Mallaby before you try criticizing the World Bank.

[eyewitness043]

who needs to read a book when it's obvious that the global international central banking model is failing?

That's like reading a book to learn how to dance.

[nobelprizeforpeace]

Thank you.

[shnherbert]

great job
