GLOBAL LOAN SHARKS

The May edition of WorldNet magazine, WND's monthly print publication, tells a fantastic story of money, power -- and the way the world really works.

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, like most "far-off" multinational institutions, barely register a blip on most people's radar screens. Yet, the activities of the "Fund" and the "Bank" not only adversely affect the lives of millions directly, but they threaten the financial and personal well-being of every American as well.

Here are some of the red-hot issues dealt with in May's WorldNet:

• How multinational institutions economically rape nations in the guise of helping them;
• Why the U.S. abandoned the gold standard;
• Is the gold market being manipulated today?
• The IMF's push for a global currency;
• What the Mexican peso bailout, the Asian meltdown and "the rape of Russia" were really all about;
• How Bill Clinton opened the floodgates for the multinational "loan sharks" by presiding over the commercialization of the federal government;
• How the enormous cost of international bankers' ill-advised loans to irresponsible debtor nations has been transferred onto the back of the American taxpayer;
• How all this has profoundly affected the U.S. stock market.
• How a congressional committee used the pretext of policing foreign assistance flows to reanimate the infamous “Know Your Customer” legislation -- which requires that banks monitor their depositors’ private accounts in detail and report to the federal government anything "suspicious," or even varying from that customer's usual profile. Such legislation, if enacted, would effectively end U.S. citizens’ financial privacy.
• How drug money ends up being laundered and used to support political candidates;
• Will the U.S. economy melt down in the next few years?

May's sizzling "special report" on the super-secret IMF and World Bank was written by Anne Williamson, one of the world's most knowledgeable journalists on this subject. Not an armchair analyst at some think tank, synthesizing and analyzing the work of others, Williamson is the veteran reporter who has personally dug up much of this groundbreaking story.

Starting in 1987, while writing for the Wall Street Journal on Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of "glasnost" (openness) and "perestroika" (restructuring), Williamson, over a period of years, discovered how the IMF and World Bank really do their work.

What is contained in the May edition of WorldNet, therefore, Anne Williamson witnessed with her own eyes. She knows the people at the IMF and on Wall Street of whom she writes, she lived in Russia in pursuit of this story, and she testified as an expert witness to the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services in September 1999.

It is the first time this story has been told, and the May edition of WorldNet provides our readers with a rare glimpse into a giant program for control and power that animates some of the world's most dangerous elitists and controllers.
