"I made this video in response to the continued progression of the New World Order, "Chicago Boys", Neoliberal economic and social policies. Bruce Cockburn wrote about this in the early and mid-1980's. By the analysis of others such as Naomi Klein and Noam Chomsky, the ruling elites are amplifying their class warfare, as seen by Tea Party-style governors in Wisconsin and Ohio.

"Call it Democracy" by Bruce Cockburn

Padded with power here they come
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared

With the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality
Who render rage a necessity

By turning countries into labour camps
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament

The only response to the deification
Of tyranny by so called "developed" nations'
Idolatry of ideology

North, south, east, west
Kill the best and buy the rest
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
You don't really give a flying fuck
About the people in misery

I-M-F dirty M-F
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

See the paid off local bottom feeders
Passing themselves off as leaders
Kiss the ladies, shake hands with the fellows
And it's open for business like a cheap bordello

And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy

See the loaded eyes of the children too
Trying to make the best of it the way kids do
One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
They call the revolution

I-M-F dirty M-F
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy"

"Canadian singer / songwriter Bruce Cockburn performs his classic song "Call It Democracy" live on Canadian Television. In it, he characterizes the International Monetary Fund as a global parasitic banking oligarchy bent on reducing the 3rd world to poverty stricken heaps while pocketing the wealth for the developed Western Nations.

Recent developments in economies Iceland and Greece have shown the IMF and World Bank at work and have revealed that they have sucked the 3rd world dry and are now moving to new territory.

The world now watches as Greece, the birthplace of democracy, is struck with deadly riots as a result of the IMF bailout. Generations of Socialism have reduced these proud people to austerity measures the will result in economic slavery of future generations.

This song was written in 1985, 25 years before the current crisis, but it is a scene played out many times before. If we don't take heed and eliminate the world banking elite, they will suck us dry too.
