Was himself an "economic hit man" successful, makes his mea culpa with deep sincerity, describing with great talent "empire" that corporations have established the globe. Actually, who are economic assassins (AE)? The answer is shocking: "Assassins companies are highly paid professionals who swindled countries worldwide, reaching amounts trillion. They directs money from the World Bank, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and from other organizations "help" foreign to giant corporations and the pockets safes those few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources. " The following interview was given to us exclusively through skype, to appear in the days when, thanks to the efforts of "Pachamama Romania" and "Heritage-Partner" UNESCO, John Perkins is in Romania, taking seminars at universities Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi (October 9.) "Stefan cel Mare" University of Suceava (October 10th., at 17.00-19.00), "Babes-Bolyai" University of Cluj-Napoca (October 13th., at 15.00-17.00) and Academy of Sciences Economic Studies (October 16th., 13.30-15.30 hours).<br /><br />"We," economic assassins ", build a global empire"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22056053.post-713965334656065842010-08-31T07:04:11.849-04:002010-08-31T07:04:11.849-04:00It is unfortunate and sad to see those people that...It is unfortunate and sad to see those people that only wish to spout off their fear monging statements that have no basis of fact, and the ability to communicate to so many without their fictitious statements being questioned. If the author would have taken a few moments to do any kind of research on their own, as opposed to making blanket statements filled with their own personal bias, they would have found that the Siemens jobs are moving to where 80% of the customers are and at a comparable wage and benefits. They would have found that had the shoe been on the other foot, and a company situated in the States was supplying a mostly Canadian customer, the argument would be to bring those jobs to Canada where the people actually bought such products. Instead of suggesting that we make improvements to our productivity cycles, the writer decides it more appropriate to suggest governments legislate a company stay where there are no customers and where productivity is not requirement to keep our jobs. Great plan and one that I am sure will encourage future potential employers to really want to move to Canada in the first place. Not likely.<br />So a person can easily blame a company for leaving, without knowing the reasons, or apparently not caring about the real reasons. Let’s just pretend is because a company like Siemens wants to avoid Unions, although in reality the parent company in Germany, employing hundreds of thousands of workers have a partnership with the Union there. What, consider that fact, no, can't do that, it wrecks the initial fear statement that Siemens is trying to avoid the Union.<br /> Consider what the Union has tried to do in this instance, nothing but bad mouth Siemens in the news. I am sure that will encourage Siemens to replace such jobs in the future, in an area that pushes unions for no other reason than to give some false credibility to a group that encourages people to not actually work for what they receive, just increase the sense of entitlement. I am sure that type of attack will have companies scrambling to move into Hamilton.<br />I can think of no greater encouragement than to feel we can threaten and bully such investors to come to our understanding city of Hamilton. Such days are long past and it is unfortunate that we don't try to encourage new business based on our ability to compete on a global market because we truly can. I am sorry if I feel that Canadians in general can compete against anyone in the world should we chose to take the higher road and suggest it be done on our merit and not because of some misguided suggestion that we can legislate employment that again only increases the sense of entitlement and gives no motivation to improve. <br />I suppose this will never get posted past the moderator who wants to use fear as their writing tools as opposed to some basic (easily found) facts that are an underlying issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22056053.post-48648140100047826892010-08-31T07:03:23.497-04:002010-08-31T07:03:23.497-04:00It is unfortunate and sad to see those people that...It is unfortunate and sad to see those people that only wish to spout off their fear monging statements that have no basis of fact, and the ability to communicate to so many without their fictitious statements being questioned.
