John Pilger examines the effects of globalization and turns the spotlight on Indonesia. Indonesia is a country described by the World Bank as a model pupil until its globalized economy collapsed in 1998.

Similar information is covered in John Perkins‘ book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man John Perkins examines how the World Bank’s has aided international corporations in devastating the poor of developing countries, and so does John Pilger.

This film examines the use of sweatshop factories on behalf of famous brand names like Nike.
Who are the real beneficiaries of the globalized economy? Who really rules the world now? Is it governments or a handful of huge companies? The Ford Motor Company alone is bigger than the economy of South Africa. Enormously rich men, like Bill Gates, have a wealth greater than all of Africa.

John Pilger takes a look at the World Trade Organization (WTO), who is operating like a quasi independent world government. A government looking out for global corporate interests–not individual people.
At the end of this film John Pilger calls for the end of the IMF, WTO, and World Bank. He suggests they should be replaced by democratically accountable organizations. John Pilger then quotes a document from the United States Space Command. The document states:

The globalization of the world economy will continue. With a widening of haves and have nots, only military dominance will protect America’s commercial interests.

“Why should we except this? Why should our children have to face these divisions and dangers. None of them are God given. All of them can be changed.”

This film can be purchase in the U.S. through Bullfrog Films for personal viewing for $29.95, but Bullfrog Films also offers a $39 version The $39 price includes a public viewing license so you can show the film in public. The one stipulation is you can not charge admission. Local Film Societies are a great screening option as well as local libraries.

John Perkins Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

In this interview John Perkins speaks with Amy Goodwin from Democracy Now.

Perkins goes into detail on his role as an “Economic Hit Man.”  I have seen people post Perkins is not credible because where are all the other economic him men.  When you face the risk of being killed, I can imagine many would want to come forward.

Perkins covers many of the same events covered by Bill Moyers in his 1987 PBS documentary Secret Government: Constitution in Crisis and John Pilger’s many films:

I similar interview with John Perkins is out on DVD called Speaking Freely Vol 1: John Perkins. The film can be purchased on Amazon; streamed or rented from Netflix.

John Perkins Zeitgeist Interview

This is a video clip of the John Perkins Interview from Zeitgeist Addendum from http://zeitgeistmovie.com. People may wonder if what John Perkins has to say is true. John Perkins is the author of “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.”I know people have been offended by Zeitgeist because it’s critical of religion. For this reason I am asking people to analyze the film in sections. Do some research before you dismiss what John Perkins has to say.

I would like to point people to these references to study.

John Pilger’s The New Rulers of The World takes a look at the IMF, the World Bank and their manipulation of Indonesia

Bill Moyers’ 1987 PBS documentary Secret Government: Constitution in Crisis takes a look at the history of the CIA and US foreign intervention

John Pilger’s The War On Democracy examines US foreign intervention in Latin America.

These very credible documentaries backup everything John Perkins has to say.

Google Mexico IMF and World Bank.  Pay special attention to the press releases.  See what you come up with. Closing the World Bank and the IMF may be the real way to end illegal immigration in the United States.

Forcing the World Bank and the IMF to forgive all debts may be the real way to end global poverty. They need to be closed down before they can hurt anyone else.

If you have seen the film Zeitgeist, but you don’t buy into what they have to say about the Federal Reserve, check out http://inflationtax.blogspot.com. This site contains a collection of documentaries on the Federal Reserve Bank and how money is created out of debt. These videos come from a variety of sources so you can get different perspectives on the issue.
