"Neo-Liberalism", Bill Moyers "AJAM" Media News "Left?!" & Et Cetera

http://moonbattery.com/?p=1960

Instead of gun running or commodity swindling, some imperialists prefer the rather more serene methodology of agricultural dispossession.

In market terms, this might be known as a monopoly, in that it dispossesses people of their market opportunities. Corporations like Monsanto, Archer Daniel Midlands (ADM), and ConAgra, use standing international institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to smuggle their products into developing markets. The IMF Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) have always conditioned loans on the “liberalization” of the local economy. This often meant not only the acquisition of domestic industry by foreign capital, but also the eradication of protectionist measures designed to shelter fledgling domestic businesses, like small farmers, from infusions of competitive foreign products with absolute advantage.

As Shamus Cooke recently wrote,

“The essence of neoliberalism can be reduced to the following: government should be used exclusively to help big business and the wealthy with tax cuts, subsidies, privatizations, anti-labor laws, etc., while all government programs that help working and poor people should be eliminated. It’s really that simple.” Sadly, Cooke’s definition of the core of the neoliberal program is spot on—profits, by any means necessary.

Bill Moyers, a hero of public media has just about had it with public television as has the incisive reporter Ray Suarez who labored at NPR and on the PBS News Hour for what seemed like decades before becoming too disgusted to persevere. 

He is now going to AlJazeera America (AJAM).

[SIDEBAR:  Bill Moyers appears to have fed the population enough Pablum.

IT is time JOHN MCCAIN's AlJazeera America??

A purchase of the RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN/s!?

Left or Right in America IS US-ZioCon and the news-media proves this fact indisputably.  Time for Change?  2014, can't get past this number absent taking a number to be recycled in the "NWO".]
