SECTION I.
Globalization and National Economic Independence
This model is not an alternative to the capitalist model, since there cannot be any alternative to the flawed model. Prof. Ata Selçuk
It is not a secret for everyone that natural process of globalization in today's world is used by global forces to exploit national resources of underdeveloped and developing countries and enforce in all spheres those global forces’ control over these countries. In other words, by playing globalization the industrial powers wish to take hold of the entire world and subject the resources of underdeveloped and developing world to their interests.
Today the capitalist economic models apply the barbarous “rule of suppression of the weak by the strong”, and it is described as “natural selection”. Economic systems, which to some extent have turned into imperialistic exploitation, care just in theory about well-being of nations and development of countries.
We live the period of a new war when weapons do not talk. Its objective is to force countries to pursue a policy of diplomatic, social, economic, cultural and other concessions, so that countries could be brought under a yoke of powers, which grant loans with the purpose of establishing debt bondage.
We live in the world, where day after day economic independence becomes more and more vital condition for independence of states.
At the same time, nowadays when in terms of economics country borders became of no importance, the powers which own the global world try to invalidate the significance of such categories as “nation” and “state”, which are very important ideas for underdeveloped and developing countries. The 21st century is the time when the idea of National Sovereignty has undergone changes. The following is interpretation of this concept by John Naisbitt, one of the ideologists of globalization:
“We see that by splitting up into independent and small divisions big companies can operate more efficient. The same is true for countries. If we create a world with single common market, then the parts of this world should be small.”
Mechanisms of Exploitation
A. Foreign Aid
The policy of rendering "foreign aid", which emerged after the World War II, has found its place with aspirations of underdeveloped countries to develop.
However, underdeveloped countries having tied their development activities to external capital follow everything that is required for this foreign capital to come into country. The “abandonment of national rights” with the view to secure foreign aid and “acceptance of terms and conditions leading to sell-out of the country” relate to such phenomena.
The new world order after the World War II encourages underdeveloped countries to adopt “development” projects based on external debt. The pressure of debt burden leads to political and social claims on these countries on the ground of reforms in agriculture, production, finance and other fields within the framework of economic development programs.
While the state and population find themselves in debt bondage, all sorts of foreign companies, in addition to interest they receive on loans, make enormous profits by investing into those countries.
However, the main method of profit making for huge capital holders in the global world remains “earning money by means of money”. Avoiding “high-risk and heavy labor cost production”, they prefer such method in particular, while employing alongside with loans speculative financial transactions.
At present, the quantity of money supply with free circulation throughout the world serves the purpose of earning money by means of money, and almost twenty times exceeds the volume of world trade. It is obvious that such quantity of money exerts destructive influence on the economy of underdeveloped countries and creates favorable setting for development of speculative transactions.
B. Transnational Companies
Multinational companies are another method of exploitation in the new world order. Today the joint ownership of 300 transnational companies amounts to 25% of production assets all over the world. Five hundred major companies control 65% of the world trade.
In Turkey there is probably no a single holding company without participation of a multinational company. At the same time, these multinational corporations provide their funds only for a small share of the foreign capital invested, and a considerable part of about 85%–90% is raised from other sources, including those available in capital-importing countries.
The following example is quite enough to show how international companies take advantage of the national and state resources in Turkey: in 1973 foreign companies operating in Turkey owed the country up to 81% of the investment capital, and they secured 96% of these debt by loans borrowed in Turkey itself.
C. Privatization
IMF recommends developing countries, such as Turkey, accept economic programs developed by this organization. However, the objective of these programs is not to stabilize our economy, but to help global capital groups put our country’s markets and resources under their control. This explains why IMF requires privatization of our most strategic and profitable businesses. In addition, “strong state” is a great obstacle to this process.
The demands of global capital from underdeveloped and developing countries in return to granting loans by the World Bank and IMF are not limited only to repayment of principal and interest. They also include execution of difficult “development” programs that lead to elimination of competitive production, including agriculture and cattle breeding, and therefore to miserable life of people in those countries.
These demands were also put forth for Turkey. Lately, farmers in Turkey have found themselves in extremely difficult situation due to the newly adopted laws on sugar, tobacco and other restrictive laws related to agricultural and other products....Continuation of this link, type in(http://gencturk.xanga.com/ )

I LOVE YOU TURKEY''MUTLULUĞUN YOLU'' General Mac Arthur diyor ki, bir şeye inandığınız, ümidinizi koruduğunuz, güzelden iyiden nasibinizi aldığınız, doğa, insan ve Tanrı ile iletişime duyarlı olduğunuz sürece genç kalırsınız. Anthony Robbins ise “ Ne isterseniz yaşam onu size verecektir. Yeterli inandırıcılıkla, kendinizi vererek isterseniz, dünyada her şeyi elde edebilirsiniz. Bazı şeylerin elde edilmesi fazla inanç ve enerji gerektirir, çok çalışarak onları da elde edebilirsiniz.” Saygılarımla..
(MEVLANA FLOWER) HAYATIMIZ; Şerefle bitirilmesi gereken en asil gorev hayattır
Bir lokma ekmek icin şerefini cignetmeye
Bir anlık eğlence icin servetini tuketmeye
Bir zamanlık mevkii icin el-ayak opmeye
İnsanları ezip gecmeye
Gunluk menfaatler icin onurunu terk etmeye
Bir kısım insanlara kızıp tum insanlara
Duşman olmaya değmez bu hayat.
Niceleri geldi neler istediler
Sonunda dunyayı bırakıp gittiler
Sen;hic gitmeyecek gibisin değil mi?
O gidenlerde hep senin gibiydiler
Bu dunya kimseye kalmaz bilesin
Ergec kuyusunu kazar herkesin
Tut ki Nuh kadar yaşadın zor bela
Sonunda yok olacak sen değil misin?
(omer Hayyam )
TUNALIM...
