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. Good promotion options are local radio, handing out flyers, and public service announcements in local papers.

No I do not make any money, if you buy this film.

Walter Cronkite’s speech from the above video:

It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace.

To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order. But the American colonies did it once and brought forth one of the most nearly perfect unions the world has ever seen. Cronkite said later in the same speech:

Even as with the American rejection of the League of Nations, our failure to live up to our obligations to the United Nations is led by a handful of willful senators who choose to pursue their narrow, selfish political objectives at the cost of our nation’s conscience.They pander to and are supported by the Christian Coalition and the rest of the religious right wing. Their leader, Pat Robertson, has written that we should have a world government but only when the messiah arrives. Any attempt to achieve world order before that time must be the work of the Devil! Well join me… I’m glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan.

Note at the end of the video Hillary Clinton is teleconferenced in to congratulate Walter Cronkite on his Global Governance Award, and for his efforts promoting a one world government.

Was Walter Cronkite insane, or did he have the right idea?   Is a global government a good idea, or is Walter Cronkite just a pawn for the International Bankers and the Corporatocracy.

As a side note, The Gass Steagall Act was repealed under the Clinton Administration, who we can assume supports a one world government since Hillary Clinton Supports it.

History of the Glass-Steagall Act repeal:

According to Forbes magazine, the formation of the Glass-Steagall Act arose in 1933. It was formed by Congress shortly after the stock market plumetted in 1929 while there was bank collapse across the United States (source). Essentially, the Glass Stiegel Act “separated investment and commercial banking” and may have potentially “hindered the establishment of financial services firms that can equally compete against each other” (source), which led to the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act.

Glass Stiegel Repeal Information: Did the Glass Steagal Repeal Destroy the American Economy?

The Glass Steagall Act helped compartmentize the U.S. financial industry in an effort to prevent future collapses and failures of U.S. banks such as what happened in the ’30s. With the repeal of the Glass Stiegel/Glass Steagall act, the door was opened for a repeat of the pre-Glass Steagall Act era.

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:

• The War on Democracy
• Breaking the Silence
• The New Rulers of The World
• and more

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.
