Just got done watching all the parts. This is an amazing interview as we go through these times in realtime. Go Johnny go!

You can see the enthusiasm and the passion in the crowd. The Icelanders are going fight. Good luck IMF!

The first series of videos is the speech by John Perkins. He makes some really good points such as capitalism doesn't just have grow in terms of money. You can have growth in food, spirituality, knowledge, etc. Capitalism needs to be channeled into producing beneficial things but also keeping sustainability as one of the requirements. John also tells the people to kick the IMF (the bully) in the shin and to force the IMF into the people's terms. He tells the people that they didn't create the debt, but that they owe it and are expected to pay it back. Johns says they should refuse to pay it just like Argentina and some other Latin American countries. Once again he says to look to Latin America for a model and inspiration.

1. I'm so glad he said to look to So America. I've been feeling that in my bones.

And posting it a little. I think the Bolivian decision to not let the French and Americans take their water and sell it back to the people in a disastrous form of usury was one of the most heroic acts a country has made in a long time. The corporate world is still trying to own Bolivia. The rich in Bolivia help the outsiders and some foreigners plant themselves in Bolivia to fight Morales and the people - doing everything in their power to fight a duly elected leader and the little people who stand behind him. The people of the country own the resources, not a few working for single and multi-national corporations and associations - Carlyle, etc.

Yes to Perkins. Fight the IMF - pay back the money if you can. Do not be ruled or held down by the IMF and World Bank who operate for the corporations.
