The banks are saying, "Okay, if we refi- nance these Third World debtors and get their economies going again, then we want collateral. For example, when we loan -swap this debt, we're going to own the Amazon Basin if you default." It should be obvious to most of us by now that the (LDC) cannot pay off their present debts, let alone keep up with interest payments. They're going face financial collapse if they don't get the WCB, and most likely they will lose their collateral because they won't be able to pay off the WCB loans. However, somebody, somewhere, is going to make their bad loans good, and somebody, conservation bank, etc. etc. etc." Brundtland's report set the stage for unlimited enactments to take over ecological, environmental, and pollution laws throughout the world. So not only do we have a bank forming, but we also have a proposal for very harsh, quasi -spiritual, eco- logical laws. We are going to have a "Mother Earth Comes First" mentality or cult arising throughout the world as a result of this legislation. How fast is this whole thing moving and when will the WCB go into action? It will be soon, because as Rockefeller said in his speech, "the good news is the collapse of the mon- etary system that was predicted by some regarding each of the major borrowing countries has been resolved `temporarily' by extending the debt." "Temporarily" — indicates that he "An international currency has reportedly already been printed in Canada, including the United States' portion." somewhere, is going to end up with title to a lot of real estate. It seems logical that this WCB scheme should be put into effect under the auspices of the United Nations. "There was a United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development created in 1982 that published what's called the Brundtland Report, actually entitled Our Common Future. (Readers can order a copy of Our Common Future: A reader's guide, which is a short abstract of the Brundtland Report, for $4.00 postpaid from Earthscan, 1717 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Suite 302, Washington, DC 20036.)" Gro Harlem Brundtland, the prime minister of Norway, attended the Deaver conference. The United Nations had asked Brundtland to find out about ecological conditions in our world. She came back with her study and said the conditions were terrible. The UN then asked what she recommended. Her reply was, "I recommend a world wants some permanent solutions. "The bad news is that lower petroleum prices in 1986 (have) caused countries to renegotiate the schedule for debt repayment again. The borrowing countries are in better shape because interest costs have fallen since 1982, but the cost of servicing the nearly $400 -billion Latin American debt is still enormous. One-third of Latin America's export earnings are devoted to paying interest on this debt, accord- ing to the Institute for International Economics in Washington. Two- thirds of the nearly $400 billion in debt is owed to a number of com- mercial banks, including Chase Manhattan. Most debtors are paying only interest payments, not principal, and while economic conditions have improved, the countries still face political and structural problems that could hamper repayment." At the end of a caucus meeting, Baron Rothschild said, "This will be a second World Marshall Plan" which means that the governments are going
