This document discusses global resource extraction and proposals for a new international economic order. It focuses on copper mining in Chile and bauxite mining in Jamaica. In Chile, copper mining was nationalized in the 1970s so that Chile would gain control over its key resource instead of foreign companies. In Jamaica, the government was able to negotiate a higher tax on bauxite mining by multinational companies. The document argues that developing countries need to work together to gain bargaining power against large corporations and have more control over their natural resources and economic development.
This document provides an overview of global resource extraction and its impacts. It discusses how multinational corporations extract resources like bauxite from countries like Jamaica and copper from Chile. Though these resources provide significant value, a small portion of the profits reach the people in these countries. The document examines calls for a New International Economic Order that would give producing countries greater control over their resources and a fairer share of the profits. It also discusses repression of reformist governments that have attempted to claim greater control, like in Chile under Allende. The impacts of resource extraction on communities in the US, like coal mining in Appalachia, are also addressed.
The document discusses several topics related to international trade agreements and their impacts. It provides background on NAFTA, including that it is a treaty signed in 1994 between the US, Canada, and Mexico to reduce trade barriers and boost economic growth. Both benefits and criticisms of NAFTA are mentioned, such as increased trade but also concerns about American job losses. Impacts on the economies of all three signatory nations are reviewed, including effects on various industries like agriculture and manufacturing.
The documents summarize information on globalization, migration trends, the US-Mexico border, NAFTA, and immigration trends in the US. The key points are:
1) Despite globalization and outsourcing, the US continues to attract the most immigrants worldwide. The US-Mexico border sees over 250 million crossings annually.
2) NAFTA aims to reduce trade barriers but does not allow free movement of people. It has led to outsourcing of US manufacturing jobs to Mexico, costing an estimated 1 million US jobs.
3) Most modern immigrants to the US come from Latin America and Asia, especially Mexico. They tend to settle near the US-Mexico border or in traditional immigrant
Historical & Economic Analysis of HondurasNilay Kumar
Honduras has historically been dominated by two banana companies, Chiquita and Dole Food Company. These companies achieved vertical integration starting in the early 1900s by acquiring smaller banana operations in Honduras. The companies then exerted significant control over the Honduran government and economy. Attempts by other groups to enter the banana market or sell bananas through different channels were suppressed by the two major companies with support from the U.S. government, ensuring their continued dominance in the Honduran banana industry.
A critical analysis of the concept of sustainability arguing that the structure of capitalism is an inappropriate means to address the problems created by capitalism.
This document provides an overview and argument in support of the Green New Deal. It argues that the Green New Deal is needed to address the twin crises of climate change and income inequality through a massive national mobilization and investment in sustainable infrastructure similar to the New Deal and WWII mobilizations. The document outlines how the Green New Deal would fully transition the US to a just, prosperous and sustainable economy through specific projects while ensuring inclusion and addressing racial and economic injustice. It argues the federal government must lead this effort by bringing together talent from all sectors to channel energy and resources into transformative national action.
Work and labor 4 2015 (WORK IN PROGRESS)Eric Strayer
This document discusses various topics related to work and labor, including:
- The average American will work 90,000 hours in their lifetime doing jobs that are often useless or destructive.
- Bertrand Russell's view that work falls into two categories: physical labor and management/oversight, with physical labor being unpleasant and underpaid.
- Marx's vision of a communist society where people can choose different activities each day rather than specializing in one type of work.
- Questions about how many hours a person should work depending on whether they like or hate their job.
- Examples of unsafe working conditions and wage theft in various industries such as fast food, factories, and garment workers.
Immigrant Entrepreneurs: A Key to Rebuilding U.S. EconomyRichard Herman
new powerpoint to be delivered in detroit on 7/18 at the conference, "Immigration and Michigan's Future." Day-long conference to feature Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, major CEOs, President of Wayne State University, and a cast of thousands! The eyes of the nation will be watching Detroit. Can immigrants save detroit? I say --- yes! as part ofa new intercultural team with African American talent and entrepreneurs, and other diverse talent, as we work towards building the most powerful teams on the planet. We hope this conference helps galvanize efforts not only in Detroit and Michigan, but in struggling cities around the country. This city-driven, economic argument should be a MAIN PLANK of comprehensive immigration law reform. We are all immigrants!

The document discusses how globalization creates winners and losers by comparing two contrasting countries, China and Gambia. It analyzes factors like natural resources, population size, education spending, foreign investment, and integration into the global economy to understand why China has benefited more from globalization, while Gambia has struggled and remains dependent on foreign aid.
The USW Constitutional Convention passed eight resolutions on the final day. These included resolutions supporting retiree chapters, collective bargaining, building power at the bargaining table, international trade, organizing the unorganized, political activism, rapid response, and the Steelworkers Humanity Fund. Speakers emphasized the importance of these issues and union solidarity in fighting for workers' rights.
This document discusses the impacts of globalization and capitalism on developing countries. It argues that globalization has increased disparities between wealthy developed nations and poorer developing nations. While globalization was hoped to improve conditions in developing countries, it has instead increased their economic dependence and vulnerability. Multinational corporations have exploited low wages and resources in developing countries for profit, without providing sustainable growth. As a result, income inequality between the global North and South has drastically widened under globalized capitalism.
1. Economic globalization is exemplified by the formation of multinational corporations like Royal Dutch Shell that operate in over 140 countries.
2. Technological globalization is demonstrated by the rapid spread of the World Wide Web in the last 10 years, though Africa lags with fewer computers than Manhattan.
3. Cultural globalization spreads cultures globally, as seen in the dominance of American movies, food chains, and the English language around the world.
“Rebooting after the economic crash: IT, ET and America 3.0.”
Professor Jonathan Taplin , USC Annenberg School and ARNIC
The financial crisis will leave the next president with the task of rebuilding a shattered American economy. Professor Taplin will describe the potential roles of information technology and energy technology in America 3.0.
Globalization is a process of increasing interaction and integration between people, companies, and governments around the world. It is driven by international trade and investment and enabled by information technology. It involves the mixing of cultures as different cultures meet and blend. Globalization impacts political systems, economic development, environments, religions, cultures, and standards of living worldwide.

- An article about Slack cofounder and CEO Stewart Butterfield on the cover.
- A list of America's top 200 colleges ranked based on factors like student debt, graduation rates, and career success.
- An article about how liberal arts majors are in high demand at tech startups due to their ability to sell and humanize products.
- Additional articles on topics like innovative medical research, real estate trends in LA, influential hedge fund managers, and challenges facing Dropbox.
The book reviews B.D. Sharma's work "Globalisation The Tribal Encounter" which examines the impact of globalization on tribal communities in Bastar district, Chhattisgarh. It discusses three case studies: 1) how tribal people were deceived and exploited by outsiders for their land and resources, 2) the negative effects of a proposed hydropower dam project on local livelihoods without sufficient rehabilitation plans, and 3) a declaration by the Dandami Marias tribe asserting their rights and opposing the establishment of a private steel plant on their land without community consent. The review concludes that weaknesses in government failed to consider tribal needs and that globalization has significantly disrupted tribal life and livelihoods
The document provides information on various international organizations and institutions involved in global affairs. It begins with definitions of globalization and the global interstate system. It then discusses the origins and founding of the United Nations in 1942 by 26 allied nations to coordinate efforts in World War 2. The document outlines several UN agencies and specialized organizations like the WHO, UNICEF, FAO, along with other institutions that govern issues like trade, development, aviation, telecommunications and more. Regional economic commissions are also mentioned.
1) The article discusses the promise of microfinance in alleviating poverty by providing financial services like small loans to low-income households that have traditionally been excluded from formal banking.
2) While microfinance programs report high repayment rates of over 95%, most programs remain subsidized and are not financially self-sufficient. There is also limited evidence on the social and economic impacts of microfinance.
3) Going forward, there is a need for more rigorous impact evaluations, understanding how different financial products and incentive structures can best serve the poor, and ensuring microfinance reaches those in deepest poverty rather than just the "better off poor".

The document discusses how the United States' well-developed infrastructure has contributed to its economic success and global presence. It notes that the U.S. has the third largest land area and GDP, and is a global leader in industries like automotive manufacturing, airlines, communication technologies, and government services. The document concludes that the U.S.'s strong infrastructure has helped make its economy the largest in the world and enhanced its international significance.
Latin America is the region of the Americas where Romance languages like Spanish and Portuguese are primarily spoken. Infrastructure and levels of development vary significantly across Latin American countries. Many countries still face challenges of poverty and are considered developing. Economic indicators like GDP, GNP, and per capita income are used to measure and compare levels of development between developing, transition, and developed nations. The geography of Latin America is diverse, containing rainforests, isthmuses, mountainous regions, and deserts. International agreements and trade blocs have aimed to increase economic integration and development across the Americas.

This document discusses the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and their growing economic influence. It notes that by 2050, the BRIC countries are expected to account for over 40% of the world's population and 60% of global GDP. Together, the BRIC nations already account for 40% of the world's population, 25.9% of the world's land area, and 40% of global GDP. The document outlines key economic and demographic statistics for each BRIC country and discusses their future challenges and opportunities to continue growing as economic powers.
World War 2 pulled the US out of the Great Depression as the economy shifted to focus on wartime production. Various government agencies were established to direct industries to make military goods and manage supply shortages and price controls. Factories converted operations to produce airplanes, ships, weapons and ammunition. By 1945 the US had produced over 300,000 airplanes and other military equipment, becoming known as the "Arsenal of Democracy". Financing the war required increased taxes and sales of war bonds. Over 14 million women joined the workforce during the war to replace men serving in the military.

This document discusses body fluids and fluid compartments. It describes intracellular fluid contained within cells and extracellular fluid found in interstitial, intravascular, and transcellular spaces. Indicator dilution methods are used to measure fluid volumes by introducing indicators into compartments and calculating volumes based on concentration changes. Various indicators are used to determine volumes of total body water, extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid, plasma, blood, and interstitial fluid. Abnormalities in fluid volumes, such as dehydration from vomiting or overhydration from syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion, and sodium balance issues like hyponatremia and hypernatremia, are also covered.
The document provides a summary of the origin and evolution of the universe, Earth, life, and humans according to scientific evidence. It describes how 13 billion years ago the universe began expanding from an initial singularity, leading to the formation of stars and galaxies. Around 4.6 billion years ago, our sun and solar system formed, including Earth. Life first emerged on Earth around 3.8 billion years ago in the oceans. Various species of early humans and hominids evolved over millions of years, with Homo sapiens emerging around 200,000 years ago.

Applied anatomy of adductor canal and popliteal fossaDikshat Pruthi
The document discusses the applied anatomy of the adductor canal and popliteal fossa. The adductor canal is located on the medial thigh and contains neurovascular structures passing from the thigh to the leg. The popliteal fossa is a diamond-shaped area behind the knee that contains several important structures. Clinical issues involving these areas include adductor canal compression syndrome, Baker's cysts, popliteal artery aneurysms, and lymph node enlargement. Surgical procedures like adductor canal blocks are used to anesthetize the areas.
This document discusses global resource sharing and proposals for a new international economic order. It focuses on how poor countries have struggled due to fluctuating commodity prices and being at the mercy of developed countries and multinational corporations that control markets and prices. The document examines cases in Jamaica, Chile, and Tanzania of countries seeking greater control over their resources and negotiating more favorable trade terms. It also outlines proposals for reforms to achieve a more equitable distribution of global wealth and resources.
Adam Smith and classical liberalism argue that private property, free markets, and limited government allow people to flourish and prosper. Smith predicted markets and competition would lead to economic growth, falling prices, higher living standards, and a large middle class.
Karl Marx predicted the opposite - that capitalism would concentrate wealth, impoverish workers, and require replacing markets with state control. However, evidence from the US shows Smith was right. Markets have led to prosperity, falling costs of living, and steadily improving conditions for workers over time. Worldwide, free market economies have seen far greater growth than centrally planned economies. This supports the classical liberal view that free markets best promote prosperity.
This document provides an overview of globalization and its impacts from a social work perspective. It discusses the history and waves of globalization, defining terms like globalism and neo-liberalism. It examines structural adjustment programs imposed by organizations like the IMF and their effects, like diverting funds from social services. Statistics are presented on growing global and domestic inequalities and rising poverty. The neo-liberal agenda is said to prioritize corporate profits over democratic values.
globalization is undermining nation states. First, it is that it is empowering corporations at the expense of the nation state, and secondly, that the international institutions such
It does not make sense to talk of a world of 6 billion people becoming a monoculture. The spread of globalization will undoubtedly bring changes to the countries it reaches, but change is an essential part of life. It does not mean the abolition of traditional values.
As the WTO and World Bank are not democratic…. There is an issue of sheer size.
It is noted that many corporations are larger than nation states – more than half the 100 largest economies in the world are corporations.
Integration in the world economy contributes to environmental improvements by promoting growth, increasing incomes, improving property rights and the allowing the efficient use of resources.
The document discusses how globalization creates winners and losers by comparing two contrasting countries, China and Gambia. It analyzes factors like natural resources, population size, investments, and economic policies that have enabled China to benefit from globalization, increasing its GDP per capita. Meanwhile, Gambia lacks resources, receives little foreign investment, and remains dependent on foreign aid, causing its GDP per capita to change little over time and for it to lose out to globalization forces.
This document discusses globalization and international trade. It provides background on the history of long-distance trading dating back to nomadic Arab traders. It then outlines key events and developments that increased globalization such as the establishment of trading companies and organizations like the WTO. The document also discusses how globalization has benefits like increased economic growth but also disadvantages like increased inequality between nations. It concludes by discussing measures to help integrate low-income nations and reduce poverty.
This document discusses the decline of independent cattle producers and rural communities due to consolidation in the meatpacking industry and the shift to a globalized food system. It provides statistics showing that since 1980, cattle producers' share of the retail beef dollar has decreased by 20% as packers and retailers have captured more profit. Four packers now control 88% of the market. The poorest U.S. counties are in rural cattle producing areas. Globalization favors large multinational corporations over independent farmers and local communities.
The document discusses America's choice of isolationism after World War 1 and its economic, social, and political consequences. Economically, the war caused unemployment as soldiers returned home jobless. Socially, soldiers told stories of horror from the war and radical groups blamed immigrants for problems, leading to tensions. Politically, Woodrow Wilson wanted more international involvement while Warren Harding supported isolationism and was elected on that platform. Isolationism then brought protective trade policies that hurt other nations' ability to sell goods in America and increased social divisions.

The document discusses the issue of plastic pollution, particularly plastic bags. It notes that plastic does not biodegrade and instead photo degrades into microplastics that enter the food chain. This poses health risks to both wildlife and humans. The production of plastic also relies on 8% of the world's oil. While some countries have banned plastic bags, lobbying by the oil industry prevents more comprehensive action. The summary calls for alternatives to plastic bags and changes to consumer habits to move toward more sustainable practices.
This document outlines Nick Watts' presentation on the relationship between economic growth and natural limits. Watts introduces two key concepts - exponential growth and logistic growth curves - to illustrate how economic growth relies on finite resources that will inevitably peak and decline. He then provides a historical overview of economic systems and how the industrial revolution and consumer culture fueled unprecedented growth. However, Watts argues that population growth, ecological crises, peak oil and debt mean continued economic growth is no longer possible or desirable given finite planetary boundaries. The system is approaching collapse without systemic change, though there is little hope of such change occurring.

The Great Depression
In module 1 this week, we discussed briefly the invention of credit during the 1920s. Credit
helped to extend the people’s ability to purchase goods and services up to a pre-determined limit.
This caused an increase in the manufacturing of goods. As they run out of available credit,
Bostonians spent less. Overproduction started to show in 1928, and by the summer of 1929, the
economy was already in recession. Some commentators began to notice, and talked about the
issues that could emerge, but few people seemed to listen.
Between 1928 and 1929, stock market price rose by 40%. Investors reinvested their profits, and
soon got caught in a speculative frenzy. On Black Thursday October 24, then again on Black
Tuesday October 29th, the bubble burst. Million of shares changed hand in panic trading, and
stock value fell from a peak $87 billion to $55 billion.
Quickly, regular people who had no ties to the financial system started to feel the effect of the
market crash.
• Farmers were already in bad shape. They earned as little as $273 per year compared
to most other occupations which earned as much as $750 a year. Because they
accounted for about ¼ of the population of the nation, their buying power dragged
the economy lower.
• Railroad and Coal industries: With the rise of automobile and truck transportation,
the railroad industry was already in decline. The need for railroads diminished,
pushing companies which did not adapt into bankruptcy. The same kind of
difficulties happened to the coal industry as their share of the market slowly taken
over by the hydroelectric, oil, and natural gas markets.
Unequal distribution of wealth
During this time, the top 5% of the population received approximately 30% of the national
income while the bottom 50% received less than 20% (which they spent mostly on basic
necessities). This made the recovery even more difficult.
Banks
The crash wiped out the savings of thousands of individual investors giving a huge blow to the
banks. Those banks were the ones which had invested heavily into corporate stock or lended
money to speculators. Hundreds of banks failed because bank deposits were uninsured.
When regular people started to see banks failing, they withdrew all of their money, forcing even
more banks to close. Within months, consumption dropped by 18%, construction dropped by

78%, 9,000 banks closed, 100,000 businesses failed, and the consumer price index declined by

President Hoover
At the time, Hoover attempted to rectify the situation as best as he could. He encouraged US
banks and companies to reduce their foreign investments, which disrupted the European financial
System and cut the demand for American products. He signed the Hawley-Smoot Tariff ...

Ethnic Tensions
In the Mid east, almost every country, including Israel will be wracked by sectarian tensions for years to come. We are a bystander as recent events have shown.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

40. “…hundreds of millions of desperately poor people… about 40% of entire population development is simply not reaching them…” World Bank President Robert McNamara
46. Poor countries have to work and work and work just to keep pace, and even so they are not keeping pace. It’s keeping them poor. It’s putting them on a treadmill.
47. In the early ‘60s, Tanzania could buy this truck from their earnings for five tons of cotton. Ten years later, it took eight tons to buy the same truck. Many countries have experienced similar problems.
48. While prices for trucks and other manufactured goods maintained a steady climb (heavy red), export prices for many raw materials fluctuated widely, and for a number of years did not keep pace. From 1953 to 1972 raw material prices, excluding oil, fell by an average of two per cent per year, in comparison to manufactured imports.COMMODITY PRICE INDEX
49. To improve their “terms of trade,” TWCs pressed harder for a package of more favorable commodity agreements and for some form of “indexation” (setting prices of their exports like cotton or coffee at a fixed per cent of imports like trucks or tractors).
50. Rattray: “My own view is that the developing countries really have no hope unless they get together. It’s really a question of the power to negotiate, to speak with, to bargain with another entity. That is why unions have to get together.
51. Because one worker cannot go on and bargain with the boss. The boss is as strong as all those workers combined, and that is why they can bargain.
52. And you know, countries are just like that. If there are 10 producers of a product, and each one wants to make separate deals, then you will become easy prey, to be picked off one by one.
53. Not so, however, when they get together. You know, in the long run, it is better for the world. Once you have an orderly situation, then the chances for social, economic and even political peace is greater.
54. The beginning unity of Third World countries has improved their bargaining strength. They are now taken seriously when they call for replacing the current economic order with a New International Economic Order. Tanzanian Bishop James Sangu speaks at the Catholic Eucharistic Conference
55. “In international affairs and international trade, the developing countries are still almost completely at the mercy of the developed countries.” “…the developed countries… dictate the world market. They fix tariffs and quotas. They determine the prices of raw materials and primary products. They establish the prices of the processed products. They determine the monetary system and control the circulation of money through the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank…
56. “And one of the basic principles of this world order is that as long as you make a profit for your own purse it does not matter if you plunder others… “The people of the Third World realize more and more now that the only means to save them from perennial poverty and hunger is the creation of a New International Economic Order, based on mutual agreement between all nations, aimed at equal justice for all, through equitable distribution of the world’s riches and resources…”
60. Is the confrontation between the producers in poor countries and us consumers? Consumer in U.S. Producer in Jamaica
61. “The confrontation is with the multinational corporations (MNCs), the middlemen who control the various stages where the big money is to be made.” MAHBUB UL HAQ THIRD-WORLD ECONOMIST
62. “Only a penny and a half out of 20 cents goes to a country like Honduras which produces these bananas.What Honduras wants is not for you to pay more, but for Honduras to move into controlling its own banana production.”
63. “If Honduras could get more, it could certainly begin to help itself out of poverty and also get some of the funds it needs so desperately to industrialize.”
68. “We remain convinced that the task of developing our societies is essentially our own responsibility…We do not advocate to our societies that they find a convenient alibi in the international order for every lack of progress on the domestic front.”
69.
70. THE SHAH OF IRAN AND BRAZIL’S GENERALS MIGHT DISAGREE WITH THIS THIRD WORLD DECLARATION.
71. But countries like Tanzania, Jamaica, and until 1973 Chile have sought to put it into practice.
74. Michael ManleyPrime Minister of Jamaica (1972–1980, 1989–1992) “For all small Third World countries, their attempt to change themselves has to begin with the problem of changing the world. If you can’t change the world, if you can’t change the distribution of wealth in the world, you haven’t a chance of changing, really, the condition of any of the small Third World parts of that world.”
79. We often expect thanks from poor countries for the aid we give them. But what about the aid they’ve given us through cheap raw materials to build our industrial economy?
80. And what about the large masses of their land countries like Jamaica have allowed big corporations to buy up, and sit on, to keep their competitors from getting the bauxite reserves?
81. What about the people who went hungry while the companies let this land lie fallow?Jamaicans are beginning to say thanks, but no thanks. We can no longer afford to be someone else’s treasure island.
84. Jamaica was able to get a 700 % increase in its bauxite levy – adding less than two cents to the price of a pound of aluminum.
85. The International Bauxite Association (IBA), established In 1974 in Jamaica, was dissolved on December 31, 1994. The IBA had been acting as a database for its members, allowing them to exchange information and ideas on the state of the industry. Financial support for the IBA came from its members, based on production volume.
86. Has this money gotten down to the people of Jamaica? Is there a new internal economic order in Jamaica?
88. Above Photos: Filmmaker Saul Landau with Michael Manley and Fidel Castro. (Jamaica) (Cuba) Below: Saul Landau receives the Bernardo O'Higgins Award, 2008. Bernardo O’Higgins = Chilean Independence leader Bernardo O’Higgins Award = Chile’s highest award for a foreign citizen Fil
89. “It will take decades and decades to begin to turn what is a completely distorted society into one that makes any sense. From the bauxite revenues, 12 years after independence (1962), Mr. Manley instituted first steps toward progress.”
91. “impact program” – to provide jobs for the most needy workers, building dams, irrigation programs, rice plantations, feeder roads, or access roads.
92. School buildings were constructed during Manley’s administration. Education was made free for all students.
93. The JAMAL (Jamaica Movement for the Advancement of Literacy) Program provided free adult education for fisherfolk.

95. This Jamaican farm is another change. It is organized and run by its workers.

98. How Chile’s nationalization of copper affected Anaconda’s sales In the first two bars, the gray area shows Anaconda’s sales of Chilean raw materials in 1968 and 1969. The other colors show sales of raw materials from all other sources. The gray area stops in 1970 – no more Anaconda revenues from Chile’s copper.
99. Although copper's relative importance declined in the 1970s and 1980s, it was still the Chilean economy's most important product in 1992...
100. “In Chile, copper is life. Because it’s our main resource.” ISABEL LETELIER WIDOW OF CHILE’S FORMER AMBASSADOR
101. “We have such a small and poor country, in fact, that we could not share our little resources with big companies that can get money from other places. It was very important for our country to be the owner of the whole country.”
102.
103. “The vote in Chile’s Congress to nationalize the industry was unanimous. For the first time, all the opposition political parties agreed: COPPER FOR THE CHILEANS !
104.
105. Not all Chileans were inspired by President Allende’s pledge. Some Chileans benefited from the existing order.
107. ITT officials testified in Congress that Anaconda asked ITT to arrange a series of meetings in 1971 with interested companies, including Kennecott, to coordinate their response to the nationalizations. NO MAS ITT! AHORA MAS TELEFONOS PARA CHILE
108. According to ITT secret memos, the Nixon administration had given assurances that it was “a business administration . . . and its mission was to protect business.” Harold Geneen President ITT
109. A complex strategy went into effect called, by the CIA, “destabilization.” The CIA, using $11 M of our tax money, funded assassination plans, work stoppages, planted press stories and anti-Allende political activity.
111. Kennecott tried to stop the sale of Chilean copper in Europe. Other countries refused to sell spare parts, thus practically paralyzing Chile’s industry. Private banks joined in denying credit. Kennecott Copper Corporation
113. “Not a nut or a bolt will be allowed to reach Chile under Allende. Once Allende comes to power we shall do all within our power to condemn Chile and the Chileans to the utmost deprivation and poverty, a policy designed for a long time to come to accelerate the hard features of a communist society in Chile.” U.S. Ambassador Edward Korry – memo to Edward Frei, September 1970
114. Sept. 11, 1973: Military juntaoverthrows elected government.
115.
116.
117. Gen. Augusto Pinochet led the Chilean military junta which assassinated President Allende.Pinochet then ruled Chile as dictator for 17 years.
118.
119. “No constitutional rights at all. No right to free speech; and repression, ideological repression.”
121. “People in jails, your relatives in concentration camps. And at the same time their families, without their principal source of income, starving.”
122. “So in this moment, to support the economic model that has been implanted in Chile by force, a tremendous repression is needed.”
123. Isabel Letelier’s husband Orlando was Chile’s ambassador to the U.S. under Allende. On September 21, 1976 he was killed in a car bombing in Washington D.C.
124. American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) Feeding Program: “Under Pinochet’s dictatorship, in addition to the political repression, there is repression through hunger and poverty.” CORINNE JOHNSON DIRECTOR, AFSC LATIN AMERICA PROGRAM
125. “Under Allende, there was a determined effort to shift resources from the rich to the poor at least to a degree. And this was successfully done, with improvements in the standard of living of the poor.” AFSC PROGRAM CHILE 1976
126. “Under the current regime, there is an economic policy which calls for profitability in all undertakings, and in order to do this, the government has applied what they call a . . .”
127. “ ‘shock treatment’ to the economy, very sharp reduction in government expenditures, recognized increases in unemployment, a deliberate cutting back of the minimum wages for those at the lowest level . . .”
128. “This essentially is a policy which has been designed to put the greatest burden on the poor and to leave the rich with sufficient resources for investment or for purchases of consumer goods.”
129. “For the poorest, it’s frequently meant . . . an inability to buy enough food for their families.”
130. But the global corporations fared much better. The Chilean junta paid Anaconda and Kennecott generous compensation, and business magazines see the new military government as leading Latin America in reopening the door to foreign investment.
131. AID TO CHILE MILLIONS OF U.S. DOLLARS Allende Government
132. To our stockholders In January, 1974, the government of Chile returned all of the Dow properties in Chile, and the loyal, patriotic Chilenos and Chilenas, of whom I wrote in the 1972 annual report, came home. We are delighted for them and they for us. They had maintained a long, courageous and lonely struggle because, as patriotic citizens, they believed their country needed Dow principles, citizenship and technology. I believe stockholders have no better proof of the total quality of our Company.
133. Over the 1962 to 1973 period, the Forty Committee (an inter-departmental body that reviews and authorizes all covert CIA activities and is chaired by the President’s Advisor on National Security Affairs) authorized the expenditure of approximately $11 million to help prevent the election of Allende and, in Mr. Colby’s words, “destabilize” the Allende government so as to precipitate its downfall. The agency activities in Chile were viewed as a prototype, or laboratory experiment, to test the techniques of heavy financial investment in efforts to discredit and bring down a government. Congressman Harrington on Secret testimony of CIA director William Colby
135. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) = an independent agency of the United States government responsible for collecting and coordinating intelligence and counterintelligence activities abroad in the national interest; headed by the Director of Central Intelligence under the supervision of the President and National Security Council; also engages in covert activities at the request of the President of the United States.
136. Henry Kissinger: National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon
137. “Indeed, good relations are completely incompatible with what the world now knows the CIA stands for – secret intervention to subvert the national political processes of countries around the globe.”
138. Philip Agee’s press conference was held a couple of weeks before Jamaicans overwhelmingly reelected Michael Manley.
140. 3 GLOBAL RESOURCES: QUESTIONS FOR AMERICANS * COAL-RICH APPALACHIA * THE REST OF US
141. ♪♫♫ ♫ “PARADISE” Daddy, won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the green river where paradise lay? Well, I’m sorry, my child, but you’re too late in asking, Mr. Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away. The coal company came with the world’s largest shovel They tortured the timber and stripped all the land And they dug for the coal ‘til the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man. ♫♪ ♫♫♪
142. When I die let my ashes float down the Green River. Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam. I'll be half way to heaven with Paradise waitin‘, Just five miles away from where ever I am.

147.
148. “My grandfather was killed in the mines when he was pinned between two coal cars, and my father was also a miner, and he eventually got black lung.”
149. “If you take coal, timber, water, and human resources, we are a very, very rich region.”
156. “. . . the technology that we have that we employ to destroy the earth is just overwhelming.”
157. “There was nothing there at all except barren land and a fine, fine dust that was being whipped up by the wind.”
158. strip mine = an open mine, especially a coal mine, whose seams or outcrops run close to ground level and are exposed by the removal of overlying soil and rock. Strip mining has been criticized for being ecologically destructive and for causing pollution of water resources, as the removed soil and rock are often dumped in lower-lying areas. Mining operators are sometimes required to restore soil and vegetation and to clean up the mining site.
159. Peabody (strips Appalachian and Native American lands) was owned by Kennecott (involved in the destabilization of Chile).
187. Can a more stable and peaceful world order become a reality for ourselves and our children?
188. Jimmy Carter: US President from 1977-1981“A stable world order cannot become a reality when people of many nations suffer mass starvation; when the countries with capital and technology belligerently confront other nations for the control of raw material and energy sources. “1977-1981
197. “Human rights do not begin with the right to dissent in safety. The process may end there, but it begins in the stomach of man.” Michael Manley Prime Minister of Jamaica (1972–1980, 1989–1992).
198. The 1973 oil crisis started in October 1973, when the members of Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries or the OAPEC (consisting of theArab members of OPEC, plus Egypt, Syria and Tunisia) proclaimed an oil embargo. This was "in response to the U.S. decision to re-supply the Israeli military" during the Yom Kippur war. It lasted until March 1974.[1] With the U.S. actions seen as initiating the oil embargo and the long term possibility of high oil prices, disrupted supply and recession, a strong rift was created within NATO. Additionally, some European nations and Japan sought to disassociate themselves from the U.S. Middle East policy. Arab oil producers had also linked the end of the embargo with successful U.S. efforts to create peace in the Middle East, which complicated the situation..[1]
199. To address these developments, the Nixon Administration began parallel negotiations with both Arab oil producers to end the embargo, and with Egypt, Syria, and Israel to arrange an Israeli pull back from the Sinai and the Golan Heights after the fighting stopped. By January 18, 1974, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had negotiated an Israeli troop withdrawal from parts of the Sinai. The promise of a negotiated settlement between Israel and Syria was sufficient to convince Arab oil producers to lift the embargo in March 1974. By May, Israel agreed to withdraw from some parts of the Golan Heights.
