Obligatory nod to the book that informed me about the true nature of the World Bank, our CIA, and what disgusting activities firms like (back then Chas T. Main) and today McKinsey are actually directly responsible for overseas.
It boiled down to this threat from operatives with ties to our government agencies: “Either you, (a foreign ruler) accept the terms of our exorbitant loan from the world bank in order to ‘’update your infrastructure’’ or we unseat you (by whatever means necessary) until someone who will sign our loan is in power.”
