Bushit & Bliar
So Bush'n'Bliar have hooked up again to hatch nasty Dr.Evil style plots such as taking over the world. I did note that hidden in thier droning speaches was...TRUTH!!! Wow. Debt is a big issue at the moment (it always is to those in the third world, but hey, we've got Big Brother 6 to watch! can't be expect to care all the time) Anyhow, they were saying that there will be no dropping of debt unless it is going to make the current system a profit. Never mind that the debt is false (given to tin-pot dictators) and that the poor have more than paid it back - rEaLiTy ChEcK notes: debt is the method of economic control, as Bush noted; We're really not interested in supporting a government that doesn't have open economies and open markets. There you have it - unless you sign on the neo-liberal line - your people can starve. What Bush is saying is that it is more important to privatize things than to fight poverty. And here's Bliar, telling the truth for a change; "I think there is a real desire to make sure that we cancel the debt, and cancel the debt in such a way that it doesn't inhibit or disadvantage the international institutions." There you have it - does this speech remind anyone of the compensation for slave owners when formal slavery was ended? It does me. If people want to drop debt then they need to get radical - dissent.org.uk
