John Perkins - Corporatocracy Globalization and Foreign Aid
Quote..
..'We think foreign aid is altruistic , that it's there to help people..in fact it's only there to help the corporotocracy.. that's what it's for, that's how the system is set up.. I think its terribly unfortunate..
Hi Dawna! I am in awe of your blog output! I'm lucky if I can get two, maybe three, posts a week in, and I'm always playing catch-up with reading and comments. There are many problems with foreign aid, I was curious about the video you posted, but it is not available for me to watch in the USA. :( So much foreign aid ends up not helping the people it should help. I just keep shaking my head and asking, "What is wrong with people?" I guess I'm really feeling that this morning as I think about events in Ottawa. Sometimes I think humanity is going insane. Then I meet someone who restores my hope and faith in people. What a complex, messy, dangerous world we live in. I hope that you are having a good day. Take care!
I'm so hyper sometimes and downright chatty lol! Other times I'm quiet. Fundy.. I found this video very interesting so it's worth a watch if you can get to see it. Maybe just type the title directly into Youtube? Today has been a good day. I've been able to work cook dinner eat relax chill with a friend and watch the Mobos..without fretting or stressing which is progress for me :) Hope your day has been a good one also!
