Bankrolling <strong>Tyranny</strong>, Socialism<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is scarcely a tyrant anywhere in <strong>the</strong> world who hasn’t benefited h<strong>and</strong>somely from UN h<strong>and</strong>outs.<br />

Graham Hancock lists many examples, including Mobutu Sese Seku of Zaire <strong>and</strong> Jean-Claude "Baby<br />

Doc" Duvalier of Haiti.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> 1987 World Bank Atlas, Zaire was ranked as <strong>the</strong> eighth poorest country in <strong>the</strong> world.24<br />

<strong>The</strong> main reason this is so is dictator Mobutu, whose brutal police state discourages private investment<br />

<strong>and</strong> entrepreneurial activity. Mobutu himself, however, has become one of <strong>the</strong> richest men in <strong>the</strong> world,<br />

with an estimated personal net worth of over $3 billion, which he has stolen from his own people <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> taxpayers of <strong>the</strong> West.25<br />

Since launching this world-class gr<strong>and</strong> larceny spree in 1965, <strong>the</strong> "Butcher of Zaire" has been showered<br />

with UN aid <strong>and</strong> IMF loans. In <strong>the</strong> 1986-87 period alone, Mobutu was <strong>the</strong> recipient of $570 million in<br />

new IMF loans, despite having defaulted on previous loans.<br />

Next to Mobutu, Haiti’s Duvaliers were pikers but still managed to expropriate tens of millions of<br />

dollars of public funds for <strong>the</strong>ir personal use while <strong>the</strong> vast majority of <strong>the</strong>ir subjects lived in abject<br />

poverty. All <strong>the</strong> while, <strong>the</strong>y were developing a horrible record on human rights that matched <strong>the</strong><br />

performance of some of <strong>the</strong> world’s more infamous despots. Graham Hancock noted:<br />

Interestingly enough, however, Haiti was a major recipient of foreign aid throughout <strong>the</strong><br />

Duvalier era — with <strong>the</strong> <strong>United</strong> States, Canada, West Germany <strong>and</strong> France prominent<br />

amongst <strong>the</strong> bilateral donors <strong>and</strong> with <strong>the</strong> World Bank, FAO, WHO, UNDP, <strong>and</strong> UNICEF<br />

<strong>the</strong> most notable of <strong>the</strong> multilaterals. With all <strong>the</strong>se "assisters" on <strong>the</strong> scene, a question has<br />

to be asked: Did <strong>the</strong> ruin of <strong>the</strong> Haitian poor occur in spite of foreign aid, or because of it<br />

26 [Emphasis in original]<br />

Indeed, <strong>the</strong> same question has to be asked regarding <strong>the</strong> ruin of scores of countries. <strong>The</strong> answer is not<br />

pleasant. Moreover, when one sees in this ruination a recurring pattern of foreign aid-caused calamities<br />

<strong>and</strong> crises, always leading to more loss of freedom <strong>and</strong> ever greater concentration of power in<br />

government, <strong>and</strong> when one observes <strong>the</strong> same individuals again <strong>and</strong> again implementing <strong>the</strong> same<br />

disastrous policies with <strong>the</strong> same tragic results in one country after ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>and</strong> with <strong>the</strong>se same<br />

individuals <strong>and</strong> institutions benefiting from <strong>the</strong> misery <strong>the</strong>y are inflicting, <strong>the</strong>n a whole host of questions<br />

beg to be asked. <strong>The</strong> foremost of which is: Is it possible that <strong>the</strong> UN foreign aid officials <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> bankers<br />

who have been involved in <strong>the</strong>se repeated <strong>and</strong> colossal catastrophes are so incompetent <strong>and</strong> incapable of<br />

learning from <strong>the</strong>ir numerous mistakes that <strong>the</strong>y continue to make <strong>the</strong> same blunders out of sheer<br />

ignorance<br />

To believe that simple incompetence is responsible for <strong>the</strong>se disasters is to stretch credulity beyond all<br />

reason. <strong>The</strong>se are some of <strong>the</strong> brightest men in <strong>the</strong> world, with all <strong>the</strong> advantages of <strong>the</strong> best education<br />

money can buy. <strong>The</strong>y have armies of advisors <strong>and</strong> technicians — "<strong>the</strong> best <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> brightest" — to plot<br />

<strong>and</strong> plan each move <strong>the</strong>y make. <strong>The</strong>y have had, additionally, <strong>the</strong> benefit of <strong>the</strong> warnings of a host of<br />

independent expert analysts, from all political <strong>and</strong> ideological stripes, who have repeatedly condemned<br />

<strong>the</strong>se programs for <strong>the</strong> fraudulent schemes <strong>the</strong>y are.<br />

One individual who has researched this issue very extensively over many years <strong>and</strong> who has argued very<br />

trenchantly against multilateral <strong>and</strong> bilateral "aid" programs is British economist Peter T. Bauer. After<br />

two decades of critical examination of Third World economies, Lord Bauer, one of <strong>the</strong> world’s most<br />

distinguished development economists, concluded:
