Western NGOs are detestable liars

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started!

Western NGOs are detestable liars

Post by eriksank »

All western NGOs are ideologically motivated. The least detestable ones acknowledge it. They simply admit that they have an underlying agenda, such as converting Cambodians from Buddhism to Christian religion, for example. In fact, as long as you know what you are getting your feet into, it is just a private decision.

The British VSO organization has an ugly hidden agenda. This organization is utterly detestable. They lie about what they are doing, and they also lie about the reason why they are doing it.

Look at this, for example:

No more missing pay cheques for teachers in Cambodia.

If a Cambodian teacher voluntarily desires to enter a master-slave relationship with a bank, and get paid through the banking system, why not? Because in that case, it is his own choice.

When ALL pay cheques must go through what also the prime minister of Cambodia clearly designated as a "private organization", a bank -- not part of the Cambodian State at all -- it amounts to badly restraining that teacher's freedom.

In the meanwhile, the banks in Cambodia have now been admonished to stop using symbols of power of the Cambodian State as their logo, such as stamps that look like official ones. The prime minister told them that he has enough of the false, make-believe propaganda with which these banks mislead the Cambodian population. The banks are not departments of the Cambodian state. They do not run the state. They are private companies that seek to suck dry the population by misleading them into borrowing money and charging them usury interests for that privilege.

Nobody should be forced to enter a master-slave relationship with a bank, and certainly not for receiving his pay cheque.

By demanding that the Cambodian government kept increasing the minimum capital for banks, foreign/western NGOs have made sure that pretty much all Cambodian banks are now in the hands of foreign multinationals. Everything that this filthy British NGO, VSO does, is in one way or another related to enslaving the Cambodian population, and force them to use products or services from multinationals.

Therefore, the Cambodian government may want to accelerate the programs concerning foreign/western NGOs, aimed at more promptly and more decisively expelling them. The Cambodian government already regularly expels foreign NGOs, but certainly not often enough.

Some NGOs in and around Siem Reap are run by wonderful and totally altruistic people on a very thin shoestring.

Does someone have an axe to grind about VSO? If so, why?

Are you raging about banks, now? Do you keep all your money in a shoebox under your bed? Surely having a multinational bank reduces risk.

I have been keeping all my savings in bitcoin for last 3 years. Approximately nobody would claim that this is a bad decision. On the contrary, it has proven to be an incredible moneymaker.

Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
Abstract. A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.


As the bitcoin whitepaper already declared in 2009, the goal of the bitcoin project is to eliminate the banks as middlemen as well as their ability to create new money out of thin air. The total market cap for cryptocurrencies has grown to $80 billion this year. Each ones of my coins is now worth $2200+.

One reason why I am so deeply invested in bitcoin, both financially and professionally, is indeed because of my hatred of the banks and of the system of government by bankers. They have been trying to replace the current prime minister here in Cambodia, for years now, with a banker, appointed by the West.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Rainsy
He moved to France in 1965, studied there and then worked as an investment manager and executive director in a variety of Parisian financial companies.


They want to get a candidate like him to "win the elections", after which their puppet will recognize all real and imaginary international debt of Cambodia, drastically increase the taxes in Cambodia, and suck dry the population, in order to send their money to an international banking cartel spearheaded by the IMF and the World Bank. The United States alone, are seeking to suck dozens of billions out of Cambodia, in the form of Cambodian taxpayer's money.

VSO is so obviously funded by the international banking cartel. They even run alternative id-card schemes here in Cambodia, in which they take database of the entire population, and hand over the digital data to western intelligence services.

Too late.

it is obviously a free range slave system with citizens as chattel subjects- profit centers if you will.
but nothing to do with using absolutist terms as "all NGO"

A nasty vile NGO has arranged for teachers to receive all the money in their paycheck, instead of being obliged to give part of their wages to corrupt bureaucrats ?
That's shocking. They should be driven out of town with pitchforks. :mob:

That has to be the worst argument yet against NGO work in Cambodia.
I think that you are taking the piss. :chin:

Ironically, having wages paid to a bank account may help break slavery...

Many of the young kids in the garment factories have been forced into indenture, typically by a single parent, to cover generational debts - and their wages are often paid directly to a third-party, while the kid gets nothing except the "opportunity" to work the seventh day in the week to pay for their accommodation and meals. Paying their wages to a bank account doesn't solve all the problems, but it can help with this one.

No, my social enterprise doesn't do this (and nor is it related to the NGO mentioned in the OP) but feel free to slag away anyway.

Rage about the banks and then laud the plaudits of a massive ponzi scheme. There have been multiple cases of hackers taking millions from the exchanges - Bitfinex, anyone? Try buying a pineapple with your bitcoins.
