When does the UN stop being a body that prevents war and becomes the world's police force; when we see UN forces being called Peace Enforcers as in Afghanistan and Kosovo. They are not peace keepers, they are trained military and they do not protect and serve the people in foreign lands that speak in languages they cannot understand, those troops protect the corporate infra-structure that exploits the resources and markets of the region.

In my studies I have found that the UN is now seen as the peace enforcers instead of its traditional peacekeeper (Yugoslavia). It appears that these forces are needed to provide the secure environment required for multi-national corporations to do business. This is vividly being played out in Iraq at this time. This pins the plight of the Iraqi people on the conscience of the people of the world to supply military forces to keep the security. Iraq will be in chaos if we do not supply security - this is a myth. Once again the blame for what is happening in Iraq is being skewed, where the plight of the Iraqi people is actually in jeopardy because of the invasion by foreign troops and investors.

These investors are no more than carpet-baggers looking to muscle out weak and unprotected business in a foreign land. The post US Civil War era is where the name carpet baggers started as Northern businessmen carried there belongings in suit cases made of carpet and marched over the land looking for opportunities. The Northerners took full advantage of the South and after buying up estates, land, and businesses they owned the lives of the people for decades. Owning the people through absentee landlordism is a part of the spoils that come with conquering nations. This is nation building the unethical, immoral way. Absentee landlordism is what is blatantly occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan and it is what is being rebelled against in South America today.

The foreign carpet baggers in Iraq want military protection, where will they find it? Probably from the UN where back door discussions are carving up the Iraq economic carcass. The buzzards at the UN will be sending in their troops to protect business in the conquest, not keep the confused Iraqis safe from looters and rapers.

Meanwhile Iraq's local business is being undermined by the importation of products and goods from other countries. They are being sold on the black market today but soon we will see Walmarts sprouting up like thorns in a briar patch. As in any conquered country the Iraqis will be renting their country from foreign investors. Globalization thrives on absentee landlordism; renting your life from non-resident landlords.

What is so bad about landlords? Bolivia is an example of the people resisting the loss of their country. Investing landlords do not care about the fact that the people of Bolivia get paid very little for their natural gas while the people are taxed to build the infrastructure to export the gas. But the Bolivians care. The Bolivians know what is going on in thei world and they are deing in the streets of La Paz to stop it. Another example of how this works is the people of the US pay taxes to build the roads that allow the Tongass National Forest to be cut and sold to Japanese investors with no return to the US Taxpayer. It means the people and their assets have been sold out with a net loss of assets and taxes.

Well the people of Bolivia will not let foreigners own and control their land, their resoruces, their lives; they have been in open rebellion for the first two weeks in October, 2003 with 16 dying on friday October 16th alone. They have the presdientail palce surrounded and are demanding the government disband and establish a new government with a new constitution. This is a telling sign that eventually the people will rise up and take control of their government once they become aware of the truth of their oppression. If the Market Economy with its carpet bagging business operators and its UN military police persist in expanding its sphere of influence especially through war then the people of the world will rebel and demand a change of government. George Bush said, "Bring 'em on", well the people are bringing it on and he has no idea what is in store for him now that his bullying tactics are awakening the dragon of the people. The current battle line and the beginning of the rebellion are in the UN. People of the world tell your government to not support the UN police protection for the advancement of Market Economics. Say NO to Peace Enforcement and YES to UN Peace keeping.
