Good essay on the Upside Down World website:

Foreign mining companies are more powerful than the countries whose wealth they are exploiting.
Doesn't that remind you of the robber barons of the USA and the genocide which took place after Custer led an expedition into the Black Hills?
Only this time it's typically Australian and Canadian mining companies doing the damage. That's understandable, since those two countries appear to have a history of genocide similar to ours.
Wealth comes before people ... and if you don't believe that, just wait and see what will happen in the USA as our wealth disappears and the number of hungry mouths grows.
