Third World Welfare Recipients to Protest ‘Evil’ Capitalism
What do the elites meeting in Davos, Switzerland have in common with the welfare state recipients in the third world nations? At least a couple of things. Both have immensely benefited from capitalism, yet both groups point to it as an evil system, responsible for things such as inequality and social injustice. Neither of the two groups say what kind of Capitalism they are referring to; Corporate Capitalism or real free market Capitalism.

Elites to Blame Capitalism for Financial Crisis
The same 1 percent that used, abused and desecrated Capitalism to bring about the current crisis will now claim that a centralized system controlled by themselves is the only way out of it. Enter the Global Technocracy.There is no doubt that when everything is said and done, the Davos conference on the world’s economy will conclude that Capitalism, not corporate greed, is to blame for the current economic and financial crisis. This conclusion can already be drawn from comments made by elite economists and corporate leaders as the Davos meeting starts off on Swiss soil on Wednesday.
Greece is a victim of money hungry Hedge Funds
Who are the real villains on Wall Street? When it comes to institutionalized greed and corruption, nothing tops the too-big-to-fail banks like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. But these financial giants form only one part of the financial oligarchy. Lurking in the shadows are aggressive hedge funds that are just as lethal to our economic well being.

IMF and US African Command Join Hands in the Plunder of the African Continent
On a recent trip to West Africa, the newly appointed managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde ordered the governments of Nigeria, Guinea, Cameroon, Ghana and Chad to relinquish vital fuel subsidies. Much to the dismay of the population of these nations, the prices of fuel and transport have near tripled over night without notice, causing widespread violence on the streets of the Nigerian capital of Abuja and its economic center, Lagos. Much like the IMF induced riots in Indonesia during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, public discontent in Nigeria is channelled towards an incompetent and self-serving domestic elite, compliant to the interests of fraudulent foreign institutions.
