The Power of trans-National corporations : Helen Caldicott in Rio.
Talk by Dr. Helen Caldicott on the growing danger of international corporations and the influence of the White House and Congess on international economic-environmental issues. At the 1988 GATT Conference in Geneva, the industrial powers coordinated efforts to dominate the world by controlling banking, transportation, agriculture, and media-telecommunications. The results have been increased health problems from ozone depletion, and an earth dying for profit. Global warming, deforestation and species extinction are all symptoms, with the United States the chief killer (using 25% of the world energy, 40% of its natural resources). In order for mankind to be saved, the world's wealth must be redistributed and destructive technologies abandoned.|THE POWER OF TRANS-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS : HELEN CALDICOTT IN RIO. - Talk by Dr. Helen Caldicott on the growing danger of international corporations and the influence of the White House and Congess on international economic-environmental issues.
