Anuradha Mittal: The impact of free trade on 3rd world farmers

World Bank and IMF imposing upon a nation rules that favor multinational corporations. Deregulation of necessary laws. Superceding trade rules of a nation. US Subsidies to undermine farmers of poor nations. Biofuels. GM crops. Source of hunger and poverty.

These are some of the topics covered by Anuradha Mittal, Founder of the Oakland Institute, OaklandInstitute.org, on "The Global Justice Movement and the Meltdown of Neoliberalism". The speech is given on October 16, 2009 at the National Lawyers Guild Law for the People 2009 Convention in Seattle.

Anuradha Mittal goes a good job putting all the topics together in one neat package. It's clear to see the problem of hunger isn't supply, but the lack of money to buy that food. It's also easy to see that throwing people off their land destroys more jobs and livelihoods than it creates. But maybe it's all planned that way for control?

Farmer Suicides and the Monsanto connection

DEBT IS SLAVERY

Buy organic and buy local is what I say. Buying organic means you didn't give your money to Monsanto and their pesticides like Roundup. It also means they didn't make any money selling GMO seeds. Buying local means your money stays in the community and more of your money ends up in the farmer's pocket instead of that giant conglomerate that owns your supermarket.

I've found a couple of articles that explains how debt ensnarement destroys the farmer. Imagine having to give up your land that has been passed down the generations:

IMF and P Sainath on Farmer Suicides and the connection

Today we get news that the G20 nations are loaning $1 trillion to the IMF to 'loan' back to themselves and the thrid world. Does it make to loan yourself money? I'll tell you why it's setup this way. It's that the IMF private owners can control and blackmail countries around the world, and not be subject to any country's laws.

We need less IMF and World Bank not more. We need less poverty, less privatization and monopolization, less corruption, and less totalitarianism, less representation for corporations. Instead we get the direct opposite. The IMF and the World Bank are the enemies of civilization.

Let me outline the web of control, corruption, and domination of the whole world:
Banks like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan => FED => Bank of International Settlements => Nations => Corruption and funding of 'friendly' politicians => control of economic and social policies => poverty, slavery, despotism
