DEVELOPMENT AND INTERNATIONAL BANKSTERS, LOOTERS
Fallacy of Wealth Creation
All of us who inhabit the earth share in the common fact that our very existence depends on the shared availability of the natural resources. But the global economy has been engineered only to create an illusion that it is creating wealth - fallacy of wealth creation.
In fact, it is not but concentrating the declining pool of wealth into fewer and fewer hands.
World governments are serving the interest of a few rich and powerful class of International ‘Banksters’ who are “looting the resources” of the world.
“There are some gigantic financial institutions that we have (in America) that have been pulling the strings of politicians in this country,” said Joe Rogen, a Comedian and Commentator in the video documentary The Truth Strikes Back.
Who really are these international banksters? Among hundreds of secret societies and shadowy global governments is the Bilderberg Group (BG). It was founded by former Nazi, Prince Bernard of Holland. In France in 1991, David Rockefeller, a member of the BG, defined the new World Order (WO) – the system of world governments serving the international banking elites. David Rockefeller also founded the Trilateral Commission of the United States Government which was dominant since the Carter administration.
BG is intricately kowtow to the TC with primary intention to be “the vehicle for multinational consolidation of commercial and banking interest by ceasing interests of the political government of the United States. It represents a skillful coordinated effort to cease control and consolidate the four (4) centers of power; political, monetary, intellect, and ecclesiastical,” Author and Historian, Webster Tarphley was saying in the same video interview, adding that in this way, “they create a worldwide economic power, superior than political governments of nation states, it involved managers and creators of the system that will rule the future”.
BG issues executive decisions and prime directives to its sub directors. TC executes through round table groups throughout Europe, Asia and the United States.
“It is a polycentric oligarchic system, you’ve got to get them out”, Tarphley lamented.
Author and Economist, George Humphrey believed “they have created a power elite. We’re not talking about a millionaire down the street, you can’t even become a member of their club, unless you’re a multi billionaire. This is about rich versus the poor, this is about a very, very small handful of the worst criminal elements in this planet”.
Many American people today believe that President Obama is the greatest “puppet” of the power elite, having now understood the bearings and indicators of his political beginning.
Within hours after his inauguration, President Obama made sweeping changes and new appointments to key strategic positions of his administration. Most of these positions comprised members of the BG, TC and the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), affirming the suspicion of the American people to new heights:
- Secretary of Treasury, Timothy Geithner: member of BG and TC;
- Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton: BG, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) married to TC member William Jefferson Clinton;
- Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates: BG, TC, CFR;
- Deputy Secretary of State, James Steinberg: BG, TC, CFR;
- Ambassador to United Nations, Susan Rice: member of TC;
- State Department Special Envoy, Richard M. Haass: BG, TC and CFR President;
- State Department Special Envoy, Richard C. Holbrooke: BG, TC, CFR;
- State Department Special Envoy, Henry Kissinger: BG, TC, CFR;
- National Security Advisor, General James L. Jones: BG, CFR, TC member;
- Deputy National Security Advisor, Donilon: TC, CFR;
- Chairman Economic Recovery Committee, Paul Volcker: BG, TC, CFR;
- Director of National Security, Admiral Dennis C. Blair: BG, TC, CFR;
- Presidential Advisor, Alan Greenspan: BG, TC, CFR; and
- The list goes on and on.
In an interview with BBC News’ Bill Hayton in Brussels in 2005, BG Chairman, Viscount Etienne Davignon blatantly stated: "It is unavoidable and it doesn't matter," he says. "There will always be people who believe in conspiracies but things happen in a much more incoherent fashion" when responding to allegations that Bilderberg is a global conspiracy secretly ruling the world.
"I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists. I simply think it's people who have influence interested to speak to other people who have influence."Bilderberg does not try to reach conclusions - it does not try to say 'what we should do'. Everyone goes away with their own feeling and that allows the debate to be completely open, quite frank - and to see what the differences are.
"Business influences society and politics influences society - that's purely common sense. It's not that business contests the right of democratically-elected leaders to lead," Viscount Davignon said.
A Shrinking World Pie
If America, the world’s most powerful force has comprise its sovereignty to the underworld of banksters and rogue global financial elites then what guarantee is here for Papua New Guinea, a third world? American companies dominate PNG’s hydro carbon extraction industry including the LNG project. How sure were we that the Bilderberg Group and Wall Street banksters were not involved in part or whole? If so, what action/s can we possibly take as a nation against banksters and looters of public wealth?
As you read, the world pie of real wealth is shrinking at an alarming rate. Living Planet Report of the World Wildlife Federation said that we collectively depleted the resources by 30% over 25 years from 1970 to 1995.
It further stated that 20% of the world’s people account for 86% of total private consumption of these resources while a less fortunate 20% consumes only 1.3% and suffer deficiencies in dietary energy and proteins.
For example, the Report stated, the annual income of Bill Gates, billionaire owner of Microsoft Computers – appreciation value of his stock holdings, is roughly equivalent to the combine incomes of the 120 million people of Bangladesh, a ratio of a single year’s purchasing power of 120 to one [120:1].
UNDP’s Human Development Report 2000 further reported that “the super rich get richer. Combined wealth of 200 billionaires hit US$1,135 billion in 1999, up from US$1,042 billion in 1998. Compare that with combined incomes of 582 million people in all the least developed countries at US$146 billion”.
An Assertive Global Economy
Mal distribution of wealth therefore provides the leeway for a build up of economic power which is increasingly concentrated not with governments but with global corporations such as the Bilderberg Group. Corporate executives wield unprecedented power over societies. They form part of a newly-dominant and assertive global institutions, state bureaucracies and inter government agencies. These Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are among the key agents in the process of globalization. They embody the emerging logic of global accumulation as they mark our new physical culture and economic frontier for global capitalism.
Capitalism, in the form of all transnational corporations has monopolized the production of manufactured goods, commerce and marketing, banking and information. It is maintained that they use not only their enormous economic but also corruption and unfair or immoral practices to eliminate competition and preserve their dominance.
Third world countries including Papua New Guinea are therefore forcefully made dependent on developed countries for capital, technology and markets. These rich countries set interest rates, terms of trade, the tariffs and import barriers generally, through their economic power and drain off surpluses in the poor countries. In the making, the world is polarized into the rich and powerful ‘haves’ and the poor and dependent ‘have nots’.
Development – A Failed Promise
The last 60 years can be called the ‘Age of Development’. This particular period began on January 20, 1949 when US President Harry Truman declared in his message to the Congress that the Southern hemisphere was ‘underdeveloped. He announced that it was therefore necessary to raise the ‘standard of living’ of the people there, an objective which was already accepted as ‘obvious and indisputable for all modern states’.
This contention laid parallel with the 1945 Charter of the United Nations in which Article 55 affirmed, “to promote higher standards of living…” of people in the underdeveloped countries.
America, after the breakdown of the European colonial powers following the Second World War, has been that ‘beacon’ of development ever since.
Like a towering lighthouse guiding sailors towards the coast, development stood as the idea which oriented emerging nations in the journey through the post war history. Whether it was democracy or dictatorship, the countries of the South proclaimed development as their primary aspiration, after they have been forced from the colonial subordination of the North.
Six decades later, governments and citizens alike have their eyes fixed on the light flashing as far as ever. Every effort and sacrifice is justified in reaching the beacon but the light keeps receding into the dark. Today, the lighthouse show cracks and is starting to crumble.
The idea of development stands like a ruin in the intellectual landscape. Delusion and disappointment, failures and crime have been the steady companions of development and they tell of a common story – it did not work, at least the American way!
