:: The NeoConservatives are mostly Zionist Jews, headed by Paul Wolfowitz, who qualify as Israeli Americans, and who are now openly directing our US foreign policy almost completely. Christian Zionists such as Bush and Cheney have jumped on their bandwagon. Of course, it looks even more convincing when a non-Jew such as Dr. Campbell, puts forward claims that will lend support to the pro-Israel agenda.

May 20, 2006 -- Last December the US-backed Iraqi government agreed to a $685 million loan from the International Monetary Fund, and effectively sold their country down the river called economic slavery—the master being the Free Market Economy.
They will have a lot of company. Many of the world’s so-called third world and developing nations are already on that river, barely afloat. Most of Latin America has been under the thumb of the IMF’s brutal austerity programs for decades, though certain countries, most notably Venezuela and Bolivia, who are nationalizing their resources, are
testament to the pervasive undercurrent of socialist ideals. For Iraq though, the journey has just begun.That $685 million loan came with a heavy price tag: end oil subsidies and open Iraq’s economy to the free market. In other words, dismantle any form of socialised society and make it a commodity. /more/ ......... [Mr. Greenspan are you listening? No you are not!
