NGO's are a Liability :Diplomatic Quangos

NGOs are a creation of powerful vested interests like e.g. the World Bank and the IMF to ensure that they have  a monopoly of Third World finances, markets and trade, and they are one of the causes of perpetual underdevelopment in some Third World countries in dependency theory and structural adjustment programmes(SAPs) .  NGOs are also the cause of crippling debts in poor countries and perpetuating what Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal ( in Asian Drama ) termed the vicious circle and spiral of of never ending poverty.

It has its early history during the Green Revolution in agriculture pioneered by Norman Borlaug in the 1960s on dry rice cultivation without needing much water but tons of fertilizers that has to be imported from Monsanto, ICI,etc under a loan- aid  agreement for these new rice strain to survive and grow . Many underdeveloped countries  had to borrow heavily from the IMF and World Bank during the Cold War years and this serve the interest of the West, especially the USA .

The NGO diplomacy is generally seen as a body to market western products in the developing world .  Although superficially they are seen to be helping and aiding the Third World   like for example the fight against malaria  in Africa. But after 30 years the parasitic illness remain dormant in 2010 and new western medicines and other ineffective control reccommendation has failed to eradicate the plague but continue to be dumped on these countries at a price .
There has also been accusation that some NGO's  are using the Africans as live human  guinea  pigs to test western drugs in disease detection, birth control pills among the hill peoples of Thailand and the deadly   ebola virus  as WMD experiments . And possibly HIV/AIDS, a genetically engineered virus that appeared in 1982 is within the WMD programme tested on Africans first but soon got out of control ,cross the human ethnic barrier and swamped the world  .

NGOs are generally seen as both  a liability and a marketing tool of  Western interests and to keep redundant diplomatic bureaucrats in a job at great expense to Third World countries receiving aid from the First World.

However the same cannot be said of medicin sans frontier which is a highly respected independant organisation, but the same cannot be accredited to the Red Cross which has been tainted in the past and strongly connected with the Swiss banks and government during the Cold War years .It was used as a cover for Swiss banks in their shady activity with dictators in the Third World to embezzle millions of dollars out of their country into Swiss bank accounts .

My Face can you name one NGO that has been really successful in helping Third World countries to grow better crop yields or to eradicate disease . We are in the 21st century now and all the NGO particpation in the last century continue to be with us, why  ????? ToraToraTora
