“The establishment can't admit [that] it is human rights violations that make ... countries attractive to business - so history has to be fudged, including denial of our support of regimes of terror and the practices that provide favorable climates of investment, and our destabilization of democracies that [don't] meet [the] standard of service to the transnational corporation.” HumansCountryPracticeSupportDemocracyRightsStandardsInvestmentClimateIncludingHuman RightsTerrorDenialCorporationsAttractiveEstablishmentRegimesViolationTransnational Corporations Author:Edward S.

“There is ...a huge tacit conspiracy between the U.S. government, its agencies and its multinational corporations, on the one hand, and local business and military cliques in the Third World, on the other, to assume complete control of these countries and "develop" them on a joint venture basis. The military leaders of the Third World were carefully nurtured by the U.S. security establishment to serve as the "enforcers" of this joint venture partnership, and they have been duly supplied with machine guns and the latest data on methods of interrogation of subversives.” WorldHas BeensCountryHandsGovernmentLeaderSecurityMilitaryHugeGunMachinesThirdsBasesMethodAssumingLocalsDataCorporationsAgencyEstablishmentConspiracyPartnershipVentureJointsThird WorldCliqueInterrogationMultinationalsMachine GunsTacitMilitary LeaderMultinational CorporationsJoint VenturesLocal Business Author:Edward S.
