Undeveloped countries: the last cheap, unregulated resource they could suck into - worldwide feeding frenzy.

The US is rapidly becoming a 2nd world country, as are the 3rd world countries they're pillaging (under our flag) & 'creating jobs' in. But before we all end up on the same dismal page, there'll be resource, ecologic, & economic collapses & wars. We blindly take comfort for granted, but there's getting to be nothing to fall back on. 7 billion of us & counting. We are in so much trouble.

This great film was made before the book CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN came out, explaining how exactly is the process by which the US and Europe impose their conditions using DEBT as the weapon, as Pilger states, to suck the energy from the poor countries.

The IMF and World Bank are an integral part of the corrupt machinery in this process.

But the basic system to extract wealth from everybody, including the people in the West, is called FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING. IT is Today's crisis
