‘ For ticks to survive,Cattle must exist ..’

The news channel u working for also part of it😎
It doesn’t happen in the third world countries but also in the EU…….Germany grabbed from indebted Greece the state telecommunications organisation(now owned by Deutsche Telekom) and the airports
The US are experts at this evil business of toppling governments and installing dictators or other puppets and just in Central and South America alone they”ve done it 23 times in the last decades.Just look what they did in Iran;they assassinated the Democratically and popular primeminister in 1953 abd installed that narcissistic megalomaniac te “Shah” who terrorized his own people with his secret police “Savak” so a revolution was eventually inevitable;which gave the Americans futher “reason” to demonize and terrorize them so no wonder they hate you so much.
Excellent and Needed Information.
Capitalism isn’t the problem, but the lack of capitalism in the international financial market is the problem. The international financial market is NOT competitive because it is largely denominated by the dollar and the global lender of the last resort, IMF, is monopolized by the US and EU. In short, we have an international capital monopoly problem. Basic ECON 101 tells you resource allocation will be suboptimal when the economy is run by a monopolist or oligopolist.
When capital power is extremely concentrated within a few countries, corporations of these said countries have the disproportionate bargaining power to strongarm countries into bad deals. China is no saint but at least they provide an outside option for poor developing countries to bargain against western financial institutions for better deals. China’s offers will force western financial institutions to be more honest in their deals because now they don’t have the ONLY say. The world needs to have competing economic superpowers to stay efficient in resource allocation.
The bottom line, capitalism can only be honest if there is competition. Every developed nation understands that. It is why they have anti-trust laws. However, for their own selfish incentives, they prefer the competition mechanism to be absent at a global scale.
Unregulated capitalism is financial anarchy, which is just as dumb as political anarchy.
Yep, these poor countries can take advantage of the fact that they now have another option, China, to strike a better deal for themselves whether with China or the IMF/World Bank, but still they need to be very careful.

Very very exceptional video.
Ukrainian Immigrants beware of Canada Trudeau and Freeland!
My reply to a supporter of fooling you! “They put the world in shock and has emerged as having an integrity worse than all dictators. He is betraying Canadian every chance he gets. I feel sorry for any Ukrainian that gets sucked into coming here. This is a communist country now. Paying terrorists 10.5 million x 3-4 times and then using the war act as his first line of negotiations with the most peaceful protest in remembrance? Encouraging division violence slander and war. Mandating experimental vaccines that are now proving to be deadly. Yet the elite tripled their money while citizens lost their businesses their lives or their community? Ignoring science and running away from the people to hide like a spoilt child who never learned to deal. He has worked against woman in his cabinet . Even men who don’t agree, good friends who have an opinion he betrays them. So this is you super hero eh? What kind of human are you? Did you profit unjustly and feel lucky, because many who came from communism are in tears seeing it come into Canada now.”
I see so many gurus of stock market trading offering courses to people by advertising in social media. Wonder how many actually benefits from these courses.
Why so dramatic though😂
Al Jazeera English always rock on thanks to all people including the channel
14 loans later, the progessive secular capitalist ruling elite in pakistan still see taking loans as a pragmatic necessity. Intellectually colonised like the Arab puppet rulers, they can be convinced by anything a white man in a lab coat tells them. Theres an old english saying about the puppet rulers in the middle east, “You can even sell sand to the Arabs.” This is in reference to the suit wearing intellectually colonised Gulf Arab rulers, by the british elites.
The public never knows what’s behind the curtain…
Please pray for Bangladesh 🇧🇩. It’s suffering from a cocktail of diseases including this very one.
Amazing. These people have their freedom taken from them, for being the best citizens their country has to offer.
Keep up the great work! This is a great series. Excellent production.
Just amazing!
China
Al JAzerra is like TRT… better than DW.
Economic hitmen cannot function without complicit politicians and businessmen within targeted countries. If those people are not willing to sell out their own countrymen for personal gain, this cannot take place. But to be clear, vulture capitalists who profit from bribery and illicit deals should be burned at the stake. Their sins are far worse than witchcraft.
The USA and Britain went through a hundred years of starvation wages for the working class in order to industrialize….these loans are a shortcut. I’m not surprised it doesn’t normally work.
Sounds like a leverage buyout and what they did to Toy-R-us
This happens within this country the same with eliminating corporations..
The dynamics of what happened in 2008 during the housing market crash is a pure example..
has absolutely nothing to do with an of that s1ht. These economic hitman are sent by ur country the so called ” beacon of democracy and freedom” to destablize poor countries and govts abroad thru “loans” they will never be able to pay back. When the US realizes these countries are in over their head with US debt they demand their pound of flesh and payment in return thru UN votes and if the country still resists they over throw the govt and democratically elected leaders by staging a coup. “This happens within this country” no it doesn’t the Economic Hitman operate abroad. The US is itself corrupt and controlled by politicians. Economic Hitman’s motives and task are not to eliminate corporations but entire govts many times democratically elected govts and as a result the livelihood of the common ppl in a poor developing 3rd world country gets ruined. There have many instances of the US govt actively supporting and funding foreign dictators just because they are puppets of America. Yet u are complaining about some rich US corporation ie Toys-R-Us which no one gives af about lmao. Wake tf up
Super like!! What a creative serie!!
Russia does this too. China does this the most nowadays, especially in Africa.
down west up east and africa ✊🏻
The only way out is to teach our children this mandatory in school and private home tutoring.
It’s the only way. Lemme say that again: Education is the key. Coordinated action is the escape. An educated society is a free society.
Mind-blowing presentation!!!
Just in time for South Africa’s Final State Capture Report (under the Zuma years). Can’t wait to see a similar report on Ramaphosa and Western Cape leadership.😄
Bit outdated already. China took over about decade ago, but you will not see it here on Al Jazeera …
Richard Wolf super cool. Watch him on Economic Update.
this how white supremacists get rich
Very informative… keep it up Al Jazeera!
Deutsche Welle threatens ordinary Russians with punishments.and Western functionaries on this channel promise 5,000 warheads on the heads of Russians, like the drug addict terrorist Zelensky, promise us a nuclear war.Well, we can’t expect anything else from the West, especially from Deutsche.we have nowhere to escape from this, nuclear war means nuclear war…
Where have all the flowers 💐gone???where have all the honest, good people gone??? This is absolutely deplorable. The poor are dying. How sad for humanity. I’m glad there is a God and he will come and he will judge righteously. He will divide the sheep from the goats and a great gulf will engulf the wicked.
Africa 🌍 wake up ✡
Lol, so China’s debt trap diplomacy was just what the West did for decades.
in luv with aj,wow
This man is beyond so dramatic 😂😂
The love of money is the root of all evil.
My entire life changed when I met 👆 here they’re such a rare gem. And I’ll be forever grateful for all their help
Kenya is a definitely a victim..
This is why countries need to push bitcoin and block chain. We need to decentralize the banking system.
Read the confessions of Economic hitman a few years ago. It really opens my eyes and perspective of how the developed nations were exploiting the developing nations and are still doing that now as well.
how do I subscribe to this show?
Says the problem of Nigeria
Coverage for this topic is great. This particular program is not.
i think amr really wanted too be a actor at some point 😛
Fantastic and sinful at the same time……
Amazing information and I will read this book. Thanks for introducing this issue.
Everything is a scam. Everything.
Why do you always have to use pictures of Africans when talking about poverty, it is sickening. As if Europe doesn’t have poor people, as if people are not sleeping on the streets in the U.S. Every country I the world has the haves and those who don’t!
Dear god help all of us to be happy tks god
My guy looks like a hitman
Obidient student
Obidient worker
OBIDIENT CONSUMER.
What was that??
Now a days the new hitman has emerged to be from the east namely ‘China’ with its unmitigated expansion in Africa & parts of third world countries by the provision of gigantic commercial loans to the needy once while debt lurks in terms reaping them of their ownership rights if they have too. So who is to blame & how is this going to end in the foreseeable future is what no one knows the answer for.
Indonesia is actually a “success story” used by these economic hitmen as a case study. The CIA managed to overthrow a left-leaning government without putting any boots on the ground. The “domino effect” mentioned as a justification for invading Vietnam was actually about Indonesia. So a very pro US general, General Suharto (pictures are on the “crazy/mindmap board” in the video), was put in power. An elite few were given scholarships to study in UC Berkeley and when they came back to Indonesia they became our economists, known as the “Berkeley Mafia”. And 32 years of a very brutal pro US regime began. It officially ended in 1998 during the Asian Economic Crisis. But until now the US is a top destination for Indonesian kids to study abroad, perhaps more so than our other Southeast Asian neighbors. Perhaps that’s why Indonesia has the most number of tech unicorns in Southeast Asia though.
the main people that are involved are the bankers (Rothschild and the Rockefeller’s etc) USA and UK still owe loans themselves called national debt.
what they do is if the leader does not follow the rules by these people they will first send in the assassins and if they fail then they will send in the military and Saddam was a good example of this.
Wealth disparity can’t be blamed on a few atypical people, it’s the product of human nature. Corruption is not the problem – corruptibility is the problem. Arguably, religion in society can delay corruption but eventually that system fails too. Even some forms of dictatorship – rule by fear – can hold back corruption, or at least keep it contained at the top. But that doesn’t last either. We think we’re an enlightened species… sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. We are nothing if not ravenous.
👍 agree
And those of us in the west watch our politicians pass trillion dollar “infrastructure bills” that we never see legitimize in our country. We’re just taxed to “pay” for it! Millionaires have become billionaires and now reaching for trillionaire status…our peaceful protests and boycotting of their companies doesn’t touch them anymore. They rule and run the world….love to you all from my heart.
Excellent production.
Am very sad, but go to know this..because my beloved country is battling with being victim of this economic hitman loan.

Best series by any channel
Thank you – excellent summary of a very complex matter.
Great show
If white are complaining what about Africans 🤣🤣🤣🤣what should they say

waving,👣
george hi nick hub
The names and places change but the system does not. The IMF is being replaced by China. China will continue the power and domination system. This system will find a new host like a parasite until global citizens break the wheel.
Everyone here interested in this topic should read the book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
Book by John Perkins. Highly recommended
economic hitmen is just another word for greed
They must be in Russia…lol
How a corporation can change the entire world that is an example! However, I believe Allah will punish them, one-day and everything will be normal – well explained in Holy Quran and Hadith!
I read Perkins book and I had a feeling he was gonna pop up on this video. Amazing, interesting, and a saddening book tbh.
West has created wars and through profits has created more Fancy and Deadly weapons and funds and exploits resources for its own gain
Libya case is well know or even Iraq one time ally and other times despote
Same happenings for Egypt know…its Human right volition isnt being seen by anyone and US is funding its weapons purchase till the time it toes its line
This Duplicity and corupt society exploits others for own Gain. Noone knows when it shall end
Keep exposing them…
It’s great
Bechtel has been trying to get Kenya to sign off on a USD 3Bn loan to finance a dual carriageway from Mombasa to Nairobi which is not a priority as repayments for the current USD 3Bn for SGR to China are being rescheduled due to inability to pay. Debt trap by China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is version of economic hits
Do you think it is intended to be a non priority project? Why do not they give the same loan for a priority project? It is to keep that country non developed in anyway and poor in my opinion beside the profit
[00:00] The Obama of the News Industry.
Crucial. Hard-core depressing Reality.
What’s AN economic human. Not was is an economic hitman.
That’s why Interest is Haraam(strictly prohibited and a sin) in Islam. “A small pebble can create a big chaos and ripple in a still water.” Now we can clearly see this happening. The whole World is corrupt now and Bankers are sitting on the top directing war between countries. Peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW.

A few economic hitmen get KILLED or THEY FAMILIES KILLED ESPECIALLY If they are AMERICAN!
