Public Services Through Privatization is a Ploy to Increase Power.

---

The providing of public services through privatization can damage consumer economics in a number of specific ways, not to mention cause greater poverty in already impoverished areas. 

Privatization opens the door for decreased government regulation on the profits made and processes used by private corporations in the generation and distribution of public services, which are usually considered to be a necessary course of everyday life for consumers. 

The providing of public services through privatization has already proven itself to be a troublesome business concept, as in some underdeveloped countries it is wreaking havoc on the lives of mass populations through providing a corporate means to monopolize natural resources and claim corporate ownership of the same. 

Take for instance, the privatization of water services in Cochabamba, Bolivia, which has caused rebellious citizen resistance ending in violent protest, injury, and loss of life. 

When it became necessary to upgrade water distribution systems to meet the demand of providing water to the citizens, Bolivia’s government was forced to accept privatization of its public service as a means of securing the financing necessary to upgrade the system. 

The World Bank required leveraging the needed financing against the Bolivian government.

The system would be privatized or the World Bank would not provide the loan to facilitate the necessary upgrade. 

This maneuver by the World Bank is nothing short of extortion to allow an already massive multinational corporation to establish ownership of public services through privatization in an area currently suffering under impoverished conditions. 

This corporate maneuver not only required the privatization of water services in order to obtain the necessary financing, but in addition, Bechtel Corporation’s contract restricted the gathering of rain water as an alternative source of supply of a necessary life resource to inhabitants who are barely able to exist already. 

Many inhabitants live on an income of $2.00 per day and to require 25% of that income to be spent to acquire the necessary life resource of water, and in addition restricting alternative methods of inhabitants supplying that need for themselves, it is not only inhumane, but just flat corporate tyrannical genocide to those who cannot afford to pay the price.

Corporate Genocide

In order to gain control of the public protest, Bolivia’s government sent in military troops to maintain order using military force, violent methods, and weaponry to coerce the people into accepting the situation, thus projecting the appearance that the government upheld Bechtel’s right to extort life from the citizens using capitalism as its weapon. 

Bechtel, in cooperation with the World Bank, has also leveraged quality of life against the Bolivian government in order to force acceptance of the American capitalistic lifestyle on the culture of that country, even though it is clearly not in the best interest of the indigenous population at this time. 

In order to raise the necessary capital, the Bolivian government was also leveraged into privatizing other services including the oil industry, airlines, railroads, electric, and phone companies in line with the global so-called democratic agenda. 

If the people are required to pay 25% of their meager incomes to pay for water services alone, that does not leave much to purchase other services which are necessary to have any quality of life for the general population of that country. 

The fact is, someone is getting rich from this endeavor; and it is undeniably not the common citizens of the country, which clearly indicates humanitarian effort is not the goal of the corporate and government systems, yet they feel fully justified in propagandizing that the maneuver is a step to assist the lives of the mass population.

Public Services Through Privatization

Although many Americans boast the benefits of capitalistic endeavor as being the saving grace of this world, that is only because they have been propagandized to believe that it benefits all to have this system of government and economics in place. 

The reality is that capitalism is not a saving grace at all, but a tyrannical system which causes great masses of this world to suffer under inhumane circumstances while a minority reap great reward for their ability to extort life from others. 

The European Union and North America have been linked in a joint effort to spread the capitalistic disease for decades, if not centuries, and no citizen of those countries should ever assume that the inhumane conditions will not at some point affect their lives; that would be a grave error on their part. 

The promotion of public services through privatization of survival systems cannot be considered in any way to be a democratic process, as it does not benefit the majority nor does it provide a means of the majority having a voice or any power to balance the system, yet the governmental powers that dictate under the guise of democracy propagandize otherwise.
