For sure! That’s what I was saying. When I used the word “helping,” I wasn’t meaning to say that the IMF was making things better. I was saying that the IMF is trying to help the neocons to privatize Eskom and sell it off to private corporations, who would absolutely not help the situation over there.

The whole purpose of the IMF (which sits in an office in the bottom of the Pentagon) is to indebt third world countries and then to a create repayment that forces austerity measures on public works and services, as well as privatization of public utilities and natural resources within the country. The IMF and World Bank are to transfer wealth from third world countries to the US

What a great you have ahead of you then! He’s the author of a number of really excellent books for Bitcoiners.

Great video!

I do think that it’s important to mention something. It was said that the rolling black outs in South Africa exist because the government holds a monopoly on electricity production. Yes and no. There is a lot of corruption within Eskom, and there are ongoing lawsuits concerning the theft of $50mil+ by private contractors. There is also no public money to replace the decaying infrastructure, because its decay serves the following interest:

The neoliberal economics playbook works to 1. Undermine the ability of public service companies to do their jobs 2. Swoop in and declare that they need to be privatized for “efficiency” 3. Privatize and then skim off 30% profits. The IMF is helping as well, because privatization of a massive public utility like Eskom means it can be sold to the highest bidder, which will be a US energy company.

But awesome services our #Bitcoinbrothers are providing!
