Default the west is evil - 10-09-08, 10:56 AM

...that story really made my blood boil... but the saddest thing is that in this increasingly difficult economic climate even fewer people will care.....many african nations are and remain poor because of the west maintaining that poverty, by indiference,

It seems more like design than indifference. That's what I got anyway.

They make their money hating us, devising increasingly devious plans to kill us off so they can spend their time spending that money and enjoying their lives.

This allowed the EU to dump subsidised tomatoes and chicken on its markets, putting its farmers out of business. They moved into fishing at about the same time as the European super-trawlers arrived, and were wiped out again.
The economic wargame is a continuation of the military wargame by other means.

Would they try that crap on any country with a military capable of stopping it?

What would happen if they tried that on Japan or China?

when you say the word THEY , what you are talking about is multiple agencies, hundreds of people. lets take the decision to force the privitisation of african industries, thereby impoverishing ,many... that decision is part of americas economic ethos, one man in an office in the u.n. didn't take the decision while stroking a james-bond-like cat laughing like some JACK-BAUER-24 episode villain, the decision was made collectively. collectively the west is indifferent to what happens to many in africa , and the collective also includes MANY BLACK PEOPLE

Can't avoid a system whilst living within it, would need to move back en mass to totally avoid it and the effect it imposes on other countries. That RAF advert is a bit of a hint at that one in my opinion;



We're all contributing to a war machine.

Need to Nationalise everything.

When THEY put my birth date in THEIR lottery for Vietnam there wasn't a hell of a lot I could do about it. I was considering going to Canada.

Just because a lot of White boys were stupid enough to go didn't make it OK with me. Fortunately I lost the lottery.

But I don't hear the White economists telling all of the STUPID White people that planned obsolescence has been giong on in automobiles forever even though their economic system is coming apart. I trust White people to hide information and LIE to each other.

The system is more the RICH versus everybody else than Black vs White but a lot of people don't see it that way. Where is that mandatory accounting? But we still have those "intelligent kneegrows" that only think what White folks tell them.

A more detailed on the recently rewarded "lord" Mandleson...

David Cronin: Peter Mandelson, departing trade commissioner, leaves behind an atmosphere of acrimony and distrust between the EU and some of the world's poorest countries | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

If you have time look at some of the pdfs the article links to.
