"Most Americans have never heard of Karen Hudes, former employee in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. For over a year Ms. Hudes has been publicly trying to ring a bell by whistle blowing on wide spread corruption within the World Bank and our global markets, she has been especially adamant about bringing much needed transparency to the currency wars being waged here and abroad.
Ms. Hudes has also been exposing the tremendous influence globally connected transnational corporations have on our markets and government, explained in this study."
This information was detailed in 2013. Did we hear about this? Granted, some of these sources can be perceived as leftist, but some facts are indisputable, i.e. the corruption in the World Bank System. Forbes, definitely not a leftist publication, also published an article on the subject.
Here is an eight minute video of Hude's interview with Abby Martin of RT, a global news channel broadcasting from Moscow and Washington studios. With a global reach of over 700 million people, or over 25% of all cable.
The current president, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, appears to be trying to fight corruption, and it is an uphill battle.
World Bank Vows to Toughen Fight Against Transnational Corruption
A new report from the World Bank’s anti-corruption “Integrity Vice Presidency” says that while there have been advances against transnational corruption over the past year more needs to be done to fight illicit activities.
In his letter prefacing the “Integrity Vice Presidency Annual Update” for fiscal year 2014, World Bank President Dr. Jim Yong Kim said his organization is working vigorously with nations to strengthen their laws and other anti-corruption safeguards.
”World Bank Group support to country-led efforts is critical to turning the tide against corruption once and for all,” Kim said. “We will provide tools and that transform ideas into action, diffuse knowledge across the globe on what works and why, and help countries adopt successful strategies.” For more on his remarks, go here
The question that needs to be raised is "Will the corruption ever be successfully eradicated?"
