Human exploitation - inside:
- USA farm workers: The average life expectancy of migrant and seasonal farm workers is 49 years of age, in comparison to the U.S. average of 75 years of age - Wikipedia - United Farm Workers - History:
Today, thousands of farm workers live under savage conditions--beneath trees and amid garbage and human excrement--near tomatoe fields in San Diego County, tomatoe fields which use the most modern farm technology.
Vicious rats gnaw on them as they sleep. They walk miles to buy food at inflated prices. And they carry in water from irrigation pumps.
Child labor is still common in many farm areas.
As much as 30 percent of Northern California's garlic harvesters are under-aged children. Kids as young as six years old have voted in state-conducted union elections since they qualified as workers.
Some 800,000 under-aged children work with their families harvesting crops across America. Babies born to migrant workers suffer 25 percent higher infant mortality than the rest of the population.
Malnutrition among migrant worker children is 10 times higher than the national rate.
Farm workers' average life expectancy is still 49 years --compared to 73 years for the average American.

- Eastern European migrant workers face slave labour in Germany, 30 August 2013, Anna Rombach, World Socialist Web Site
The building site and living quarters of the workers resemble a prison camp, surrounded by barbed wire barriers and completely sealed off from the public. According to a newspaper report, the construction trade union IG Bau has no right of access to the rooms where workers socialise and have their breaks, since the ECB operates under a law which states that the site is “extra-territorial.”
The name Zublin awakens horrible historical memories. In 1944, the firm employed the forced labour of 1,700 Jews from the concentration camp at Walldorf to expand Frankfurt airport. To this day, the firm continues to refuse to pay compensation for its crimes.

Latin America interventions:
Guatemalan Civil War - essentially, those Guatemalans who could not agree to be slaves for Rockefeller's United Fruit Company, were falsely accused of being "communists" and terrorized and ruthlessly murdered, using such a cheap excuse
The U.S. Military Mission was instrumental in introducing and implementing the use of para-militarism by the Guatemalan army and security forces. U.S. Army Colonel John Webber referred to it "a technique of counter-terror."
U.S. Army journals and counter-terror experts outlined the basic premise of this strategy as "the tactic of intimidating, kidnapping, or assassinating carefully selected members of the opposition in a manner that will reap the maximum psychological benefit," the objective being, "to frighten everyone from collaborating with the guerrilla movement."

1954 Guatemalan coup d'état
The 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état was a covert operation carried out by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that deposed the democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz and ended the Guatemalan Revolution of 1944–54. Code-named Operation PBSUCCESS, it installed the military dictatorship of Carlos Castillo Armas, the first in a series of U.S.-backed authoritarian rulers in Guatemala.

United States occupation of the Dominican Republic (1965–66)
In the Dominican Republic, the CIA overthrew the democratically elected Juan Bosch

Bolivia
In Bolivia, a CIA-backed military coup overthrew the leftist president Juan Torres. He was replaced by dictator Hugo Banzer.
On August 18, 1971, General Banzer, at long last, masterminded a successful military uprising that erupted in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, where he had many supporters. Eventually, the plotters gained control over the La Paz garrisons, although not without considerable bloodshed. The combined levels of United States and Brazilian involvement for the coup d'état have been debated but it is apparent that significant clandestine financial & advisory assistance existed at a critical level within the Nixon administration for Banzer.

1964 Brazilian coup d'état
The 1964 Brazilian coup d'état was a series of events in Brazil, from March 31 to April 1, that led to the overthrow of President João Goulart by part of the Armed Forces, supported by the United States government.

1976 Argentine coup d'état
In Argentina, the U.S. backed a military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla which went on to commit massive atrocities.
The 1976 Argentine coup d'état was a right-wing coup that overthrew Isabel Perón as President of Argentina on 24 March 1976. A military junta was installed to replace her; this was headed by General Jorge Rafael Videla, Admiral Emilio Eduardo Massera and Brigadier-General Orlando Ramón Agosti. The junta took the official name of "National Reorganization Process", and remained in power until 10 December 1983.
The coup had been planned since October 1975, and the United States Department of State learned of the preparations two months before its execution. The American secretary of state Henry Kissinger would meet several times with Argentinian military leaders after the coup, urging them to destroy their opponents quickly before outcry over human rights abuses grew in the United States.

Salvadoran Civil War
In El Salvador, a U.S. backed junta killed tens of thousands of civilians.
The full-fledged civil war lasted for more than 12 years and saw extreme violence from both sides. It also included the deliberate terrorizing and targeting of civilians by death squads, the recruitment of child soldiers, and other violations of human rights, mostly by the military. An unknown number of people disappeared during the conflict, and the UN reports that more than 75,000 were killed.[26] The United States contributed to the conflict by providing large amounts of military aid to the government of El Salvador during the Carter and Reagan administrations.

Middle East interference:
Noam Chomsky On the Middle East and the US War on Terrorism, July 28, 2002, Dissident Voice - YouTube Video (Search on YouTube "Interviewer gets owned by Noam Chomsky")
(1958) President Eisenhower, in an internal discussion, observed to his staff, and I'm quoting now, "There's a campaign of hatred against us in the Middle East, not by governments, but by the people." The National Security Council discussed that question and said, yes, and the reason is, there's a perception in that region that the United States supports status quo governments, which prevent democracy and development and that we do it because of our interests in Middle East oil. Furthermore, it's difficult to counter that perception because it's correct. It ought to be correct. We ought to be supporting brutal and corrupt governments which prevent democracy and development because we want to control Middle East oil, and it's true that leads to a campaign of hatred against us."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK
SAVAK was the secret police, domestic security and intelligence service established by Iran's Mohammad Reza Shah with the help of the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (the CIA) and Israeli Mossad. SAVAK operated from 1957 to 1979, when the prime minister Shapour Bakhtiar ordered its dissolution during the outbreak of Iranian Revolution. SAVAK has been described as Iran's "most hated and feared institution" prior to the revolution of 1979 because of its practice of torturing and executing opponents of the Pahlavi regime.
In a 1976 document, Amnesty International detailed some of SAVAK's torture practices and stated that the shah's regime was one of the worst human rights violators in the world - link

Washington’s ambassador to the UN, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. His words should be committed to memory by anyone with a serious interest in international affairs, human rights, and the rule of law. In his memoirs, Moynihan wrote: “The United States wished things to turn out as they did, and worked to bring this about. The Department of State desired that the United Nations prove utterly ineffective in whatever measures it undertook. This task was given to me, and I carried it forward with no inconsiderable success”.
Success was indeed considerable. Moynihan cited reports that within two months some 60,000 people had been killed: “10 percent of the population, almost the proportion of casualties experienced by the Soviet Union during the second world war”.

Interventions everywhere:
JOHN STOCKWELL, former CIA Station Chief Angola Task Force
I think it was in the mid ‘80s that I coined this phrase the ‘Third World War’ because in my research I realized that we were not attacking the Soviet Union in the CIA’s activities, we were attacking people in the Third World.
“Basically, it’s the third, I believe in terms of loss of life and human destruction, the third bloodiest war in all of history.  They undertake to run operations in every corner of the globe.  They also undertook the license of operating just totally above and beyond U.S. laws.  They had a license, if you will, to kill, but also they took that to a license to smuggle drugs, a license to do all kinds of things to other people and other societies in violation of international law, our law, and every principle of nations working together for a healthier and more peaceful world.”
These are all people of the Third World.  They are people of countries like the Congo, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Indonesia, Nicaragua, where conspicuously, they nor their governments, do not have the capability of doing any physical hurt to the United States.  They don’t have ICBM’s, they don’t have armies or navies.  They could not hurt us if they wanted to.  There has rarely been any evidence that they really wanted to.  And that, in fact is perhaps the whole point. If they had had ICBMs we probably wouldn’t have done the things to them for fear of retaliation.”

Government's solution for the poor: increasing poverty or even extermination
Causes of the Great Depression (1930's)   -   www.encyclopedia.com/economics/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/causes-great-depression-0
The government did little to address the growing maldistribution of wealth. In fact, government action worsened the problem. Andrew Mellon (1855–1937), secretary of the treasury under Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, was one of America's richest men. He saw to it that tax cuts for the wealthy passed through Congress in the 1920s, helping the rich retain even more of their wealth. When workers tried to organize and use unions and strikes to improve their wage and health benefits, the government was hostile to such activities. For a time the wealthy offset problems by investing in businesses, factories, and new beautiful buildings. But when Wall Street crashed, they pulled back, ceasing all investing. The wealth of the richest families was not based on the soaring stock market but on decades of banking and ownership of manufacturing companies. So, unlike the newly rich whose money was all in stocks, these families did not lose everything in the market crash.. Nevertheless, in late 1929 they retreated from investing and conserved their vast wealth.

Great Irish Famine (1848-1852)
The Code of Cheap Ejectment was therefore improved for the use of Irish landlords. As the laws of England and of Ireland are extremely different in regard to franchise and to land-tenure; and as the Ejectment-laws were invented exclusively for Ireland, to clear off the "surplus population"

- The West is betraying the Kurds and allowing them to be massacred, 16 June 2005, Brendan O'Neill, Telegraph.co.uk
Stabs in the back don’t get much nastier than this.
For the past year, Western leaders have feted the Kurds of Northern Iraq, praising them as one of the few forces gutsy enough to face down the death cult of Isil.
Now, those leaders turn a blind eye, or even worse give an active nod, to attacks on Northern Iraqi Kurds by the Turkish air force.
Heroes one minute; fair game for massacre the next. In the long list of Western betrayals of former allies overseas, this one feels especially grotesque.
Last Friday, following months of negotiation with Washington, Turkey launched its first-ever air strikes against ISIL in Syria.

BANKS:   -   BANKING:


Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is a partly autobiographical book written by John Perkins published in 2004. It provides Perkins' account of his career with engineering consulting firm Chas. T. Main in Boston. According to Perkins, his job at Main was to convince leaders of underdeveloped countries to accept substantial development loans for large construction and engineering projects that would primarily help the richest families and local elites, rather than the poor, while making sure that these projects were contracted to U.S. companies.

'Exhausted' Merrill Lynch intern died from epileptic fit in shower after he 'pulled three all-nighters at bank where employees compete to work the longest hours', Emma Thomas, 22 November 2013, Daily Mail
A 21-year-old intern died of an epileptic fit that may have been triggered by fatigue after working 'exceptional' hours at a top investment bank, an inquest has heard.
Moritz Erhardt was a week from completing a coveted placement at Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s London offices, and was due to be offered a job at the bank, when his body was found in the shower at his temporary accommodation in August.

Slavery in the City: Death of 21-year-old intern Moritz Erhardt at Merrill Lynch sparks furore over long hours and macho culture at banks, 20 August 2013, Paul Gallagher, The Independent
Mr Erhardt appears to have been one of many interns caught on the so-called “magic roundabout” – a process whereby a taxi takes interns home, waits outside while they shower and change, then drives them back to the office to begin another long day.

Goldman Sachs restricts intern workday to 17 hours in wake of burnout death, Rupert Neate, 17 Jun 2015, The Guardian

Goldman Sachs Wins Suit Over $1.2 Billion Libyan Fund Losses, October 14, 2016, Kit Chellel, Matthew Campbell, Bloomberg
The Libyan Investment Authority, a $60 billion oil wealth fund set up under former dictator Moammar Qaddafi, sued Goldman Sachs saying it was misled into signing derivative deals it never properly understood. The trades ended up being virtually worthless after the company shares they were linked to fell in the 2008 crisis.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. didn’t dupe Libyan officials into investments that lost $1.2 billion, a London court ruled, putting to rest claims the bank leveraged its reputation as well as lavish meals and prostitutes to win the sovereign wealth fund’s trust.
Emails in the case show Goldman executives saying that the Libyan fund had little experience in finance. “They are very unsophisticated—and anyone could ‘rape’ them,” one executive wrote in 2008.

JPMorgan Chase
Alayne Fleischmann is a lawyer formerly employed by JPMorgan Chase. She is known as the whistleblower who provided evidence resulting in a $9 billion settlement by JPMorgan Chase to the United States Federal Government. The case has been called one of the most significant white-collar crime cases in US history.


Bank of America
In August 2014, Bank of America agreed to a near-$17 billion deal to settle claims against it relating to the sale of toxic mortgage-linked securities including subprime home loans, in what was believed to be the largest settlement in U.S. corporate history. The bank agreed with the U.S. Justice Department to pay $9.65 billion in fines, and $7 billion in relief to the victims of the faulty loans which included homeowners, borrowers, pension funds and municipalities. Real estate economist Jed Kolko said the settlement is a "drop in the bucket" compared to the $700 billion in damages done to 11 million homeowners. Since the settlement covered such a substantial portion of the market, he said for most consumers "you're out of luck."

Much of the government's prosecution was based on information provided by three whistleblowers - Shareef Abdou (a senior vice president at the bank), Robert Madsen (a professional appraiser employed by a bank subsidiary) and Edward O'Donnell (a Fannie Mae official). The three men received $170 million in whistleblower awards.

On February 9, 2012, it was announced that the five largest mortgage servicers (Ally/GMAC, Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo) agreed to a historic settlement with the federal government and 49 states. The settlement, known as the National Mortgage Settlement (NMS), required the servicers to provide about $26 billion in relief to distressed homeowners and in direct payments to the states and federal government.


2008 crisis still hangs over credit-rating firms, 13 September 2013, Matt Krantz, USA TODAY
The big three credit-rating agencies — Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings — are still trying to repair their reputations as being a level-headed, sharp-penciled bunch following the collapse of Lehman. These agencies are roundly criticized for not only failing to warn investors of the dangers of investing in many of the mortgage-backed securities at the epicenter of the financial crisis, but benefiting by not pointing out deficiencies.

How Cisco Outperforms Everyone on Social Responsibility and Philanthropy with Less Money, 24 May 2016, TG Daily

Well, a lot of institutional donors contributed millions to bore wells over the past several decades, and had great press events showing the African children playing in the fresh water. Then after their media moment, donors left.  The wells were like magic and given they didn’t run on Unicorn Blood or Pixy dust, they broke down or got contaminated shortly after the media went home.  Few donors made an effort to assure wells could be maintained, and villagers didn’t understand how they worked or how to keep contaminants out of the process. The end result was arguably worse because now the village has grown because of the promised water which was no longer flowing.

Western Economic Imperialism:







QUESTION: In a text of yours you say that the world is ruled by a “virtual senate”. Can you tell me something more about this?



NOAM CHOMSKY: The term is not mine. I am borrowing it from the professional literature on international economics. The “virtual senate” consists of investors and lenders. They can effectively decide social and economic policy by capital flight, attacks on currency that undermine the economy, and other means that have been provided by the neoliberal framework of the past thirty years.

Before 1970, 90% of the foreign exchange was trade of goods and investments.



en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_market#Hedge_funds_as_speculators

About 70% to 90% of the foreign exchange transactions conducted are speculative. This means the person or institution that bought or sold the currency has no plan to actually take delivery of the currency in the end; rather, they were solely speculating on the movement of that particular currency. Since 1996, hedge funds have gained a reputation for aggressive currency speculation. They control billions of dollars of equity and may borrow billions more, and thus may overwhelm intervention by central banks to support almost any currency, if the economic fundamentals are in the hedge funds' favor.







The International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB), Swiss banks, Western banks in general are nothing else than tools used to keep billions of people in poverty.

The corrupt politicians in the poor countries get money from the IMF and WB in loans but in the name of their countries, then they are stealing all the money, and then the poor people will have to pay the debts because those are national debts. The administration of IMF and WB are very well aware of the situation, yet they keep giving those money, because what they are looking for is to keep those populations in poverty. All the money return to the West, because the corrupt politicians in the poor countries are saving their money in the Western banks.

In return for the "help", the IMF and WB is asking the corrupt politicians to increase the poverty in their countries, by reducing the incomes of the poor people.

What the West is doing is to keep billions of people in power.

The lies in the Western culture





There are many lies that float around in the Western culture, in the form of accepted mentalities. The super-rich people are the origin of those many lies, and they found efficient ways to make the general public believe in those lies.

The two main ways to propagate those lies are:

- the media

- the corporate culture



The way the media works is pretty clear. But it's very interesting to take a look at the corporate culture.

The people at the top in the corporate management are spreading lies by simply telling them to the people who work with them. Those people will tell those lies to those below them in the corporate hierarchy, who will repeat them themselves. This way, the lies propagate from the top to the bottom of the corporation, from the top executive to the last employee.

To give a simple example of such lies, this statement is a good one: "The corruption is not bad, because the money return in the economy"

Then the workers go home and repeat those lies, false and absurd statements to their children and family. This way the whole society is filled with trash.

The worst part of it is the fact that the people believe that such utterly absurd statements are very clever, and they think that they are intelligent by simply believing in such crap. The problem is that the people think that they are more intelligent and special simply because they believe in unbelievable stupid things. The more they become idiotic, the more the people think they are superior, special and important.

This lies-spreading mechanism works very well because the top executives of the corporations are well connected. The most important of them are part of the Bilderberg Group. The others are part of other groups who form the base of the pyramid where the Bilderberg Group sits at the top.

The top executives of the largest corporations in the world are invited to be members of the Bilderberg Grup. They feel like they are special, they are "chosen", they feel like they are on the top of the world. Other corporate executives, who are not in this group, are hoping and dreaming that they will be part of it one day. Even if they are not getting there, they are very enthusiastic to be part of this "construction". They are part of the huge ecosystem around the Bilderberg Group. It's the group that decides where the politics is heading to, how the taxpayer money will be spent, what kind of new corporations and innovations will be created, how to invest in science, technology and research.

They are indeed capable to create a lot of things and to deliver. They are capable to move the world and to push it forward, and they are doing it many times. They created the computers and the internet, because they were the ones who decided to invest enormous amounts of money into it. However, they are also the ones who keep entire continents in poverty by fueling the corruption in the poor countries. They are the ones supporting mass murders (Indonesia, East Timor, Guatemala etc) and wars.

Unfortunately, this Bilderberg Group is very dangerous, because their ultimate goal is to ecologise the planet and to leave only 500 million of people on it - check the Georgia Guidestones. And it works by making the people believe that, the more brainwashed and idiotic they become, the more special, important and superior they are. And there is nothing more dangerous than stupid people who think themselves intelligent.

Who created and who sits at the top of the Bilderberg Group? The answer is only one - the Rothschild family. The rest of the billionaires (like George Soros for example) are mostly puppets.



Now let's take a look at the lies the corporation culture is spreading. Some of those lies are surfacing on the media. Others remain in the popular culture and it's only transmitted by word of mouth.

- "Corruption is good because the money return in the economy." - an extremely idiotic claim, since the stolen money go to fiscal paradises, to hidden accounts in the banks of Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, etc. and never return into the economy of the country.

- "There is no such thing as a free meal." - probably those people who repeat it never heard of welfare. Or subventions. Or about bailouts - you know, when the government is taking the money from the poor in order to give it to the rich - that's a big, huge and free meal for the rich.

- "Without poverty you have no economy" - this is probably one of the most idiotic claims ever. You can take a look at the best and less corrupt countries in the world to see that, in fact, the economy works much better when there are are no poor. And even the economy is a fuzzy term here, because it's the economy of the rich people that works. The poor people have a very bad economy.

- "Avoid paying taxes, don't evade paying taxes" - I've heard this phrase in the media (CNN - in their clownish "Quest means business" program). In reality is the same thing - a mindset of a thief.

- "It's ok to exploit the people in the poor countries because we create jobs" - the poor countries can create jobs by simply making land reforms and giving land to the poor, as Taiwan did in 1950. Or the Western countries can buy land in the poor countries and rent it for free to the poor people in those countries.

- "If you work hard you will make it" - In reality, the people who work very hard are actually being worked to death.

- "the greed and the desire to accumulate wealth is the engine of growth and of the economy" - while in fact, the vast amount of private investors are actually happy to make just a decent living from their business. The desire to accumulate wealth was never the engine of the economy - most of the people only want to have a comfortable and decent life. The whole idea that capitalism has to be based on greed is simply idiotic and it contradicts this basic reality fact.

- "Speculation is good because it creates jobs" - while in reality the biggest selling point of the people who promote capitalism is that the system will bring you the best prices. A total contradiction.



When the politicians are marketing capitalism, their strongest selling point is that capitalism promotes innovation, competition, better wages and best quality and lowest prices for the consumer goods. There are a number of contradictions here:

- If you deliver best prices for your goods, then you reduce your incomes, and that conflicts with the idea that the desire for bigger profits is the engine of the economy. How can you increase your profits when you have to reduce your profits in order to deliver best prices for your goods?

- When they get into power, they refuse to enforce competition and they claim it's ok for the goods to be overpriced, "because it's capitalism!"



All those lies were created in order to convince the people to live like bloodsuckers and to make them believe that the moral values have absolutely no importance at all. The economic crisis started with a moral crisis. Today there are no moral values anymore. Now the individual and their wealth are the measure of everything. More and more people became obsessed to have more and more and to achieve that by using any means.

All that for a clear purpose - it's easier to stay in power when the people are confused and individualistic. It's the same old principle: "Divide and rule".

As long the society is divided by individualism and by social classes of rich and poor, the super-rich people can do whatever they want.

That same supposedly dynamic-economy is nonetheless shameful because it does nothing to allow the 35 million Americans who live below the poverty-threshold a way out. The exit would be free Tertiary Education that gave them the credentials for a better job.



Rather, we prefer to do nothing, maintain costly postsecondary educational programs, whereby the average graduate is faced with paying-off a $35K debt.



Which is why most of the 45% of high-school graduates don't even try because they haven't the money; so they end up unemployed. (And of those one helluva lot end up in jail for theft and larceny!)



To get and keep a good job (and stay out of trouble) in this new Information Age of ours, it takes a damn fine education well beyond just a high-school diploma ... !

CONCLUSIONS:


Nasa-funded study: industrial civilisation headed for 'irreversible collapse'?, 14 March 2014, Nafeez Ahmed, The Guardian

Modelling a range of different scenarios, Motesharrei and his colleagues conclude that under conditions "closely reflecting the reality of the world today... we find that collapse is difficult to avoid." In the first of these scenarios, civilisation:

".... appears to be on a sustainable path for quite a long time, but even using an optimal depletion rate and starting with a very small number of Elites, the Elites eventually consume too much, resulting in a famine among Commoners that eventually causes the collapse of society. It is important to note that this Type-L collapse is due to an inequality-induced famine that causes a loss of workers, rather than a collapse of Nature."

The two key solutions are to reduce economic inequality so as to ensure fairer distribution of resources, and to dramatically reduce resource consumption by relying on less intensive renewable resources and reducing population growth:
