Description

Declassified UK reporter Matt Kennard has written a book titled Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy, detailing the specific measures instituted around the globe that have sought to guarantee private profites for major transnational corporations at the expense of democracy — measures that have included everything from violent coups to international “free trade” agreements that are anything but. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Matt about the creeping global trend towards complete corporatization that’s involved mass violence, the World Bank and IMF programs and the widespread sacrifice of individual nation’s sovereignty.

In 2008 the country said, "Do NOT bail out the banks". They bailed out the banks. That destroyed any notion that we live in a Democracy for me.

In grad school, I took a course in international finance taught by an employee of the World Bank. The entire time she talked about the World Bank I’m thinking to myself: “so you give a bunch of unpayable loans to unstable impoverished countries who you know can’t pay it back, and when they don’t, you steal their natural resources? And this is what you call ‘finance’?” It was incredibly frustrating listening to her logic or lack-thereof.

Here in Canada, when we heard the term free trade, we knew we were screwed. Our Prime minister, at the time, Brian Mulroney,was the worst, until Justin Trudeau came into power.
