on Third World countries. Imo, it is about abolishing all Social Programs and directing that money into private hands. That process has not only begun, it is will on its way in Europe and the US. Making countries like Ireland eg dependent on the IMF. Who would ever have thought this could happen? And at a time when in SA countries are getting themselves OUT from under the thumb of the World Bank and the IMF.
Using the shock of the collapse of the economies of the world, they are moving in with their same old 'invasion' tactics of countries, only now it is the First World. This may be their downfall, or maybe not.
What gives me hope is OWS and other Human Rights movements around the world, but otoh, I see even here on DU attempts to excuse the proposals to cut Social Programs here so I am not all that hopeful, until everyone is on the same page, that they can be stopped.
When it is clear that prosecuting the corrupt criminals who created the economic collapse, succeeds for the people, as in Iceland eg, where austerity was rejected, and when Austerity has only made things worse for the people, yet those in power including here in the US still choose to impose the failed policies, we have to believe this is deliberate.
