What people call 'developing nations' are more like intentionally coppiced nations. The West could raise them up, teach the people there how to start manufacturing goods themselves instead of exporting their resources for unfair prices, but it doesn't.
NSSM200 - In 1974, Secretary of State, (((Henry Kissinger))) drafted National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests (NSSM200) for the US National Security Council. The memo focuses on the “paramount importance” to population control measures and the promotion of contraceptive measures to 13 populous nations known as the “Least Developing Countries”. The argument was that the socio-political and economic growth of these countries is vital to national interests of the US, since the “U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad” and the countries can produce destabilizing opposition forces against the US. The Kissinger report discusses how there already existed a precedent for “taking account of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by USAID” The report goes on to state that allocation of scarce resources should “take account of what steps a country is taking in population control as well as food production.” The document also notes that it is important to “avoid the appearance of coercion” while also discussing “mandatory programs”. The document considers whether or not food can be considered “an instrument of national power”: “Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can’t/won’t control their population growth?”
Transfer pricing - Transfer pricing is when corporations pay virtually no profit taxes to a country for an export, because they artificially shift their profits to subsidiary in a country where the process of shifting is tax free; these countries are called tax havens. (usually Switzerland) They sell the resource to their own subsidiary at a rate so cheap they make a net positive of 0, which the country they're exporting from can't tax. The trick is that the Subsidiary which gets sold the resource belongs to the same company which just got to move the resources it extracted out of the country tax free.
War - War serves as a means of either pruning nations, like Libya and Indonesia, when they achieve temporary economic independence—or get close to doing so; or as a general means of keeping them poor, and even more reliant on IMF loans to fight and repair their countries. Since 2008, US-trained officers have attempted nine coups in Africa and succeeded in eight of them in West Africa alone.
Immigration - Both economic instability caused by Western exploitation and wars orchestrated to maintain it result in immigration. Inviting around 3% of the developing world to the developed world isn't a solution, in fact, Gadaffi warned about this shortly before his death: ''People of NATO, you're bombing a wall which has stood in the way of African migration to Europe and in the way of Al-Qaeda terrorists. This wall was Libya. You're breaking it. You're idiots, and you will burn in hell for the thousands of migrants from Africa and for supporting al-Qaeda. It will be so. I never lie, and I do not lie now.''
Charities - Charities throwing money at developing nations only creates more teaming hungry mouths without fixing the route problem; Band Aide caused this effect in Ethiopia in the 80s, fittingly with the worst music possible. The only real solution is to throw off the parasites:
Middle-East
BP - In 1901, British businessman, William Knox D'Arcy, made a deal with Shah Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, where, if he found oil in Iran, he would pay them £20K in cash, £20K in stocks and 16% of future profits. When they actually found oil, D'Arcy created the Anglo-Persian oil company in 1909, with the British government buying 51% of their shares.
They only paid 47K to the Iranian Government, which went to the Shah, while everyone else remained poor; the 16% in revenues they promised was calculated by the British after they'd paid their taxes which, of course went mainly to themselves, so almost none of the proceeds were going to Iran.
Iranian workers at their refinery were paid only 50 cents a day and lived in a shanty town without clean water or electricity.
In 1925, Reza Shah Pahlavi took over by military coup, ending the Qajar dynasty. Shah Pahlavi threatened to cancel the deal with the British, so they agreed to pay £1M a year. They also promised to raise worker's salaries and build schools, hospitals and roads, which they never did. (At this time, Anglo-Perisan Oil company changed its name to Anglo-Iranian Oil company, at the request of the Shah)
After Iran started doing business with Germany, the British used it as an excuse to overthrow the Shah with a joint-Soviet assault, installing his son, Mohhamad Reza Pahlavi.
In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh was democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, nationalizing the Anglo-Iranian oil company, putting Iran on track to become one of the wealthiest nations in the world.
Africa
Children, sometime even babies, get trafficked from Mali to the Ivory Coast and forced to harvest cocoa for no money. They get whipped and put in solitary confinement. When they try to escape, they get forced to drink urine, or have their feet cut open with pepper rubbed in the wounds. The Cocoa in question gets used by companies like Hershies, Mars and the largest food conglomerates, Nestlé and Cargill.
Nestlé - Nestlé, probably one of the most evil parasite-cabals in history is also the largest food company in the world. In the 70s, they ran a campaign in which they bribed doctors and medical journals to promote the idea that their baby formula, which was originally meant for women unable to breastfeed, was actually healthier than breast milk, causing generations of babies to under-develop from a lack of proper nutrition. If a mother stops breastfeeding, even for a few days, their milk supply drops, creating a dependency on the product; plus, up until recently, baby bottles contained the xenoestrogen, BPA, which lowers testosterone. Even though today, not breastfeeding or using baby-formula alone is recommended against, there are still reports of Nestlé paying doctors to promote their products, giving out free samples and advertising in hospitals. In Africa this causes babies to die because the formula is mixed with dirty water, contributing to 66.000 infant deaths in 1981 alone.
In the early days they would dress random women as nurses and send them into African communities to shill their baby formula.
Nestlé's cocoa is harvested by un-paid child slaves, mainly from the Ivory-Coast, and gets used for nearly all of their products, except for the Kit-Kat, which has a fair trade label on it. This was an intentional move to create the illusion that the same applies for the rest of their chocolate.
In 2001, Nestlé signed the US Government broker-backed Harkin-Engel Protocol, promising to stop sourcing from child labor. Since then, they've missed four consecutively breached deadlines; there were more children working in cocoa than when the agreement was signed.
In 2012, Nestlé got caught buying tanks full of regular tap water for around 10 dollars, selling it for $50K as falsely advertised natural-spring water.
In 2013 they got caught diverting clean drinking water from towns in Pakistan, packaging it in their factories, then selling it back to those who could afford in the communities they'd just stolen from; everyone else was left with dirty water.
In 2005, Nestlés chairman, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe stated that declaring water to be a be a human right 'is an extreme solution.'
Nestlé also make Purina dog food, Hagendadz ice cream, Sanpallegrino sparkling water, hot pockets, Nescafe, After Eight chocolates and countless others; they also own 20% of L'oréal.
Shell - Shell started off as a rival to the Rockerfellers' Standard Oil. The (((Rothschilds))) financed major Russian oil fields in Baku; in 1912, Royal Dutch Shell bought out those Russian oil assets in a major stock deal.
In 1973, Shell started a relationship with the corrupt government of Nigeria; between 1976 and 1991, more than 2 million barrels of crude oil polluted the Ogoniland across nearly 3,000 separate spills, causing cancer and destroying fishing communities. In the 90s, the Ogoni started protesting the damage, so Shell got the Nigerian regime to arrest activists, sentencing 80 of them to death, while around 600 homes were burnt to the ground. Later, Nigerians started protesting the building of a new pipeline, so with the help of a check as well as boats helicopters and buses courtesy of Shell, the government killed 12 activists. Shell provided logistical and financial support to the Nigeria's security forces in collaboration with state intelligence. Internal company documents later suggested that senior Shell executives in London and The Hague encouraged the Nigerian Government to deal with the protesters, knowing the risks of what would happen to them.
Ken Saro-Wiwa, who led the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, (MOSOP) was accused of inciting the deaths of 4 tribal leaders, even though he wasn't in the area, so him and 8 others were hanged. In 2017, the men's widows launched a court case against Shell in the Netherlands which revealed that witnesses had been paid by Shell to give fake testimonies, leading to the execution of the Ogoni Nine. Shell paid $15.5M to some of the activists' families.
Chevron - Local fisher-women in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria protested and occupied facilities belonging to Texico (now Chevron) after discovering that an old underwater crude oil pipe, laid decades prior, was leaking, destroying local fishing livelihoods. Chevron has denied this, even though they have historically had various leaks, spills and militant attacks happen in the area in the past.
Glencore - Zambia has the largest copper reserves in Africa. Due to predatory loans from the IMF and bad policies, Zambia was essentially forced into privatizing the mines. The IMF made it clear with their condition on their new loans that the older loans had to be repaid before they were given.
President Chiluba nationalized the copper mines and was later guilty by the London high court of squandering $46M, spending $1.4M of it on designer ties suits and shoes.
Over a 10 year period, multinational corporations extracted over $29B from the copper mines in Zambia. The tax revenue for this doesn't go to Zambia, but pollution and other problems from the mines do; in 2005 and 2008, residents of Mbupani had acidic drinking water because Glencore had been pumping sulfuric acid into the subsoil a thousand times below WHO standards on both air and water pollution. Glencore avoids accountability because, by law, it's only beholden to the standards of ZIMA, (Zambian Environmental Management Agency) an agency, created by the government for the purpose of setting low standards.
Thanks to the Great Recession, the price of copper tripled, so much so that Americans were robbing foreclosed houses to steal their copper pipes and wiring to sell them on the black market.
The largest copper mining company in Zambia is Glencore, also the largest public commodities trader in the world, with a yearly turnover of over $180B, eight times the GDP of Zambia. Glencore paid virtually no profit taxes for Zambian copper, because they did something called transfer pricing, shifting profits to their subsidiaries in Switzerland at a rate so cheap they made a net positive of 0, which Zambia couldn't tax.
Glencore was founded in 1974 by (((Marc Rich))), who also worked for the Israeli Mossad. He was involved in the biggest case of tax fraud in US history, where him and his partner, (((Pincus Green))) (Epstein client) were buying foreign oil from one company and selling it at a loss to another, both owned by Marc Rich; they laundered nearly half-a-million dollars in months. Marc Rich was trading weapons for oil with Iran during the hostage-crisis embargo, leading many to believe he was Israel's Oliver North; he also made $2B selling oil to South Africa. Rich bailed out Russian Oligarchs like Boris Berezovskiĭ after the Sibneft scandal; he got caught but it didn't matter because as a reward for his donations to Hillary Clinton, through his wife, Denise Rich, Bill gave him a presidential pardon.
IMF - On December 1, 1960, Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister of the newly independent Congo, was captured by political rivals.
Declassified documents confirm the CIA not only planned to remove Patrice Lumumba from power, but actively pursued his elimination; director Allen Dulles authorized covert operations, including a poison plot. UN secretary general, Dag Hammarskjöld had asked Kennedy, as president elect, to intercede to get Lumumba released from prison. 48 hours before Kennedy's inauguration, Lumumba was executed.
Hammarskjöld would later die in a mysterious plane crash while working on a peace treaty between the Congo and the Belgian backed break away state of Katanga. When his body was recovered, he had an ace of spades stuffed in his collar. Declassified documents reveal Allen Dulles's involvement in the Sabotage of the plane, a plot known to the agency as Operation Celeste.
They installed Mobutu Sese Seko as dictator, who changed the name of the country to Zaire and allowed IMF officials to be put in its treasury. Zaire's external debt went from 5% of the countries GDP to 115%. By the 90s, the DRC privatized almost all of its profitable businesses.
Big Tech - In Ghana, the rivers have become landfills for e-waste for Western Europe, the US, Japan and South Korea.
Children get lung illnesses from burning the trash to get access to metals that were in the computers, which they can sell. The irony is that most of those metals come from Africa to begin with.
South-America
Cargill - In 2004, a patch of rain-forest the size of Hawaii was cleared out of the Amazon to grow soy. Food giant, Cargill was given an award when they stopped sourcing soy from the Amazon, even though they started getting it from the Cerrado savanna, which went on to lose 95,000 KM of forest.
In 2014, Cargill's soy producers in Brazil were accused of hiring a private security force to attack an indigenous village, where they smashed down doors, assaulted children, kicked pregnant women in the stomach and shot some people, allegedly because someone from the tribe trespassed on company farmland.
Chevron - From 1964 to 1990, Texico (now Chevron) extracted oil from Ecuador, dumping over 16 billion gallons of toxic waste along with 17 million gallons of crude oil into the Amazon, while leaving carcinogenic waste in hundreds of pits dug into the forest floor in an attempt to save 3 dollars per barrel. These practices were bellow industry standard and illegal in both Ecuador and the US, causing the prevalence of cancer, birth defects and miscarriages among the people living there.
In 2011, Texico was found guilty by the Ecuadorian Supreme Court and ordered to pay a settlement of $9B in punitive damages to those effected; plus an additional $9B to clean up the contamination. The $9B in punitive damages was later dropped on appeals, and the enforcement of the cleaning costs were blocked when US and international tribunals declared that the local verdict was procured through alleged fraud, bribery, and corruption.
Steven Donziger, a human rights lawyer on behalf of the local Ecuadorians, was counter-sued by Chevron who accused him of bribery, fraud and witness tampering, while they themselves engaged in forum shopping to secure a judge and venue in their favor. When the court requested Steven Donziger's personal computer, he appealed, resulting in him being charged with contempt of court and placed under house arrest for nearly three years, as well as receiving months in prison, even though contempt of court isn't a criminal offense and in 2021 the UN's WGAD ruled his detention illegal under international law.
BP - In the 90s, the British Petrolium Company (BP) caused human rights abuses and environmental damage in Colombia, while paying 1 dollar per barrel to the Colombian Ministry of Defense for security.
In 2001, this was protested by trade-union leader, Aury Sara Marrugo, who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by private militia, the Self Defense Forces of Cesarean. (ACC)
Later, in 2002, trade-union leader, Gilberto Tores protested the same thing. After months of being threatened, he organized oil worker strikes, so ACC abducted him and forced him to watch another man get tortured, then dismembered. The next day they threw Tores into a hole full of giant red ants, covering it with barbed wire. They also told him that they had kidnapped his wife and son. After 10 days, they let him go, because his colleagues threatened more oil strikes if he wasn't released.
After being captured by the Colombian government, ACC confessed that they had been hired by Osensa (partly owned by BP) for 100M Pesos, ($40K) not to abduct Tores, but to kill him.
In 2019, BP's deep water Horizon drilling rig exploded due to cost saving design flaws, killing 11 workers and causing 210 million gallons of crude oil to leak into the Gulf of Mexico, causing them to have to pay $65B for the clean up and in fines, none of which went to Mexico. Even though, BP claimed that the oil had reached Mexico, pollution ended the fishing industry along the Mexican coast, 95% of which was dependent on the trade.
Bechtel - In the 90s, the Bolivian government was struggling to supply all its citizens with water, so the World Bank had the country privatize its water. Then, a consortium of companies led by Bechtel bid on a contract to privatize water in Bolivia's fourth largest city, Coquibamba; they got $2.5B to spend 40 years upgrading the city's water supply. For this development, Bolivian residents of the city were charged private utility bills and corporate licensing fees, which no one could pay, so the companies left, leaving behind billions of dollars in potential revenue.
East-Asia
Cargill - In 2011, one of Cargill's palm oil suppliers sent a fleet of security guards to open fire on a near-by Indonesian village because a villager was accused of stealing a piece of palm fruit. They ended up bulldozing the entire village, evicting 100 people. The land got turned into new canvas for palm fruits.
Developed World
Homeless shelters - Homelessness is a racket; NYC for example gets a $2.6B slush-fund, some of which is embezzled, for homeless shelters every year. To keep this going they need an army of unemployed drug addicted human defects to loiter in the streets like animals, spreading diseases and making areas uncomfortable for everyone else who contributes to society.
In 1992, (((Yegor Gaidar))) became Prime Minister. He pledged to improve the Russian economy through a mass economic privatization policy known as shock therapy, wherein Russia's state industries and social programs were to be rapidly liquidated and sold to the highest bidder. This was endorsed by the IMF, the US Treasury, and the Clinton administration. As shock therapy was implemented, Western financiers and oligarchs with ties to organized crime used international banking loans to buy out Russian companies at dirt-cheap prices. At the same time, Russia was undergoing inflation that depressed the wealth of native Russians, meaning they couldn't realistically compete for shares of the pie. As a result, many today call this period the looting of Russia.
Not only did shock therapy fail to improve the Russian economy, Russia entered a full-blown state of crisis. In the 1990s under Yeltsin, Gaidar, and other American supported politicians, Russia's industrial production and national income declined by half. The price of goods skyrocketed, and millions of Russians lost their savings due to out of control inflation. Drug abuse, prostitution, and crime rose to record levels; life expectancy collapsed to new lows.
By 1996, Russian oligarch (((Boris Berezovskiĭ))) openly boasted in an interview that he and six other bankers controlled over 50% of the Russian economy and most of the country's mass media. The term the seven bankers became popular across Russia as symbolic of the Yeltsin government's corruption. Berezovskiĭ was was a past business partner with (((Rupert Murdoch))) of Fox, with whom he formed joint ventures in Russian media and radio markets.
Remember Alexander Litvinkenko, the guy allegedly poisoned by Putin? He died of Polonium poisoning and worked for Berezovskiĭ, who was smuggling Polonium to Israel. During the investigation into Litvinenko's death, traces of polonium-210 were found at Berezovskiĭ's London offices, planes and multiple other sites related to him. The levels found on Litvenenko far exceeded the practical amount needed to kill someone in an assassination.
When Putin took over, he led economic and criminal reforms against oligarchs who looted Russia during economic shock therapy in the '90s. (((Boris Berezovskiĭ))), fled to Britain in fear of a criminal investigation.
Former PM (((Yegor Gaidar))) fled the country to Ireland and later Ukraine.
(((Mikhail Khodorkovsky))), the richest man in Russia, bought majority stakes in Yukos Oil Company during the looting. Putin threw him in prison for 10 years.
