Who is Funding the IMF?

04-10-2000 20:35

Summary
The protests in Prague, Seattle, Washington DC etc. are about the convergence of Politics/Business/Money. The centralization of the world's currencies by fewer and fewer banks, and the easy access to it by self proclaimed world rulers in politics and corporations has fueled such unelected and unaccountable organizations as the IMF, WTO and World Bank. You should have learned how this works in 8th grade. . . but nobody taught it.
