"Who is in control"

I have a theory just thought i would share it. I think that the governments that we put so much faith in are no more in control than we are i think the overall control is held by the banks of the world just think about it the u.s is supposed to be the richest country in the world yet they are billions of dollars in debt who do they owe this money to? the banks if those banks decide to say we want our money what is to stop them taking over i know it may seem a bit extreme but think about it.

In my opinion? It's because the west approve of leaders who will tow the line and keep the country in a state of poverty whilst their resources are exploited by western nations. Those 3rd world leaders get rich, and the west is kept happy. Who cares about a few billion starving? As evidence of that, look at what happens to the few 3rd world leaders who actually seem to give a damn about their people. Allende ended up dead in a CIA sponsored coup. Contrast that to those 3rd world leaders who are corrupt, brutal psychos; as long as they tow the line, they have long and happy lives.
Obviously, I'm oversimplifying but that's it in a nutshell.

More to do with the fact that most of the leaders just keep most of the aid themselves and only give a little bit to their people. Of course we should actually make sure the money goes to people who need it.

the question you now got to ask is why is the third world being kept down is it because their governments do not fall in line with the western way of thinking

Because doing something that is so blatantly about keeping the third world in virtual slavery to the west would cause revolution the world over. One lesson that the World Bank and IMF have definitely learned is that it's better to shear sheep and not rip off their skin in one go.

lol
