So to sum this up, in order to make changes in the third world the first world has to change first.
It has to change the way it is dealing with the third world for example cutting third world debt.
But this will not happen because the people who control our countries are the same people who own the corporations that are exploiting the third world.
For example in Britain we had a guy called Cecil Rhodes who was an powerful businessman and politician in Africa....in fact Rhodesia (modern day Zimbabwe) was named after him and he was the founders of the DeBeers diamond company (seen the DiCaprio film 'Blood Diamond'? Well this guy was the original diamond trader).
He moved to the diamond fields and set up a mining company financed (as so many industrialists in the US and UK were and still are) by the Rothschilds banking family.
He was behind the Jameson raid that instigated the Boer war which saw the first use of concentration camps as the British locked up the wives and children of the boers they were fighting in order to crush their spirit. Basically he wanted to get his hands on the gold that was in their district.
I'm talking about this guy not just because it illustrates how much the western imperialist powers have meddled in Africa but also because of who these people are. Rhodes believed white people were superior to other peoples and was deeply imperialist, believeing in the right of the British to rule over other peoples. He believed that the anglo-saxon people had a unique destiny to rule the world and he wanted the British empire to spread across the world.
He believed that the US, UK and Germany would together rule the world one day and he died one of the richest men in the world, leaving much of his fortune for the creation of a secret society writing the following in his will:
'To and for the establishment, promotion and development of a Secret Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom, and of colonisation by British subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the Islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible, and promote the best interests of humanity'
A group of interconnected societies called the 'round table groups' were set up to achieve this aim. US academic Professor Quigley wrote about a group he called the 'Milner Group' in his book 'Tragedy and Hope' which he explained had played a large part in world affairs over the last century.
Today the same families that are behind these groups are still controlling many coporations and banks and are the power elites behind such 'think tanks' as the Council on Foreign Relations in the US (here's a list of some of the members of the CFR including many corporations:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Members_of_the_Council_on_Foreign_Relations )and its sister organisation Chatham House in the UK (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham_House )
These groups represent the interests of all the big coporations in the US and UK which in turn are simply a front for the powerful people behind them. These people are the real powerbrokers not the politicians. The politicians come and go but these guys are always there and they fund the politicians, tell the politicians what to do and if the politicians don't do what they are told then they are destroyed.
It seems like there are many corporations and news outlets but really the ownership of these can all be traced back to a few people who meet in secret at events such as Bohemia Grove or the Bilderberg Club where no journalists are allowed to go, so the public are frozen out of the big decisions.
Politics is largely just theatre to make the public think that they have a say in matters...they don't....they are simply wage slaves whose birth certificate numbers are traded on the stock exchange as collateral. Politicians are simply middle management.
These people not only control us they control the third world as well through various organisations such as the IMF and the World Bank.
Did you see in the news how the democratically elected leaders of Greece and Italy were brushed aside and outside, unelected 'technocrats' put in their place? These technocrats are basically the agents of these power elites put there to help manage the transition of the US and Europe into a neo-fuedal state where the people are serfs who work as indentured labourers to the power elites.
That's why the middle classes are being destroyed and why the governments are tightening up controls. Its why the bankers were bailed out and are still getting massive bonuses....because it is all about shifting the wealth away from the people to the power elites. This has been going on as part of a policy agreed at the very top called the Washington Consensus (neoliberalism) which is a process whereby the 1% get all the profits whilst the 99% are left in debt (enslaved by debt like the third world)
In short yes we need to change the way things are run in the west to save not only the thrid world but ourselves as well.
That is why there is revolution around the world and protest movments because people are beginning to realise what is happening and all those who believe in democracy and their right to have a say in the running of their communities are protesting the grab of wealth by the 1%.
The third world has been raped by these people for hundreds of years. They had a triangle of trade going where they sailed ships to africa to pick up slaves, siled them across to the US, dropped of the slaves, picked up sugar and sailed back to Europe. The middle east has been raped by these people for its oil and now the people are rising up in anger at the puppet governments placed in power by the west.
There is going to be much more conflict yet because the people of europe and the third world are getting tired of all the lies of the power elites and of being exploited
