The video is a bit dated, but the\u00a0debt scheme it describes\u00a0remains largely unchanged. The primary development has been the creation of an experiment called the European Union and the character of the targets.\u00a0\u00a0 One might also look to the wars of\u00a0‘preventative intervention’ and ‘colour revolutions’ that raise up puppet regimes for examples of more contemporary economic spoliation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From largely small and Third World countries, the candidates for debt peonage have become the smaller amongst the developed Western countries, the most vulnerable on the periphery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And even the domestic populations of the monetary powers, the US, Germany,\u00a0and the UK, are now feeling the sting of financialisation, debt imposition through crises, and austerity.\u00a0\u00a0 What used to only take place in South America and Africa has now taken place in Jefferson County Alabama.\u00a0 Corrupt officials burden taxpayers with unsustainable amounts of debt for unproductive, grossly overpriced projects.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It would be wrong in these instances to blame the\u00a0whole<\/em>\u00a0country,\u00a0 the\u00a0whole<\/em>\u00a0government, or\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0corporations, except perhaps for sleepwalking, and sometimes willfully,\u00a0towards the abyss.\u00a0 For the most part a relatively small band of scheming and devious fellows abuse and corrupt every form of government and organization and law in order to achieve their private ambitions, often using various forms of intimidation and reward.\u00a0 It is an old, old story.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And then there is the mass looting enabled by the most recent financial crisis and Bank bailouts.\u00a0 If the people will not take on the chains of debt willingly, you impose them indirectly, while giving the funds to your cronies who use them against the very people who are bearing the burdens, while lecturing them on moral values and thrift.\u00a0 It is an exceptionally diabolical con game.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
