It is the de facto [[public investment bank]] for the entire planet, just as the [[BIS]] and [[IMF]] operate as a sort of de facto [[central bank]], which between them set the policies (based on [[GDP]]) that do maximum damage to life while causing maximum circulation of money. | It is the de facto [[public investment bank]] for the entire planet, just as the [[BIS]] and [[IMF]] operate as a sort of de facto [[central bank]], which between them set the policies (based on [[GDP]]) that do maximum damage to life while causing maximum circulation of money. | ||
The World Bank approves and funds extremely destructive projects in [[China]] and [[Congo]] and [[Brazil]], which expand roads that lead to [[deforestation]] and [[extinction]]. The damage done by these projects is incredible, astonishing even, reducing [[nature's services]] to all people. For those people killed, of course, the services provided are now near zero (some space for the body or [[atmospheric CO2 absorption capacity]] for the ashes) and maybe funerals and lawyers to process wills increase [[GDP]] - all the '''Bank''' cares about. | The World Bank approves and funds extremely destructive projects in [[China]] and [[Congo]] and [[Brazil]], which expand roads that lead to [[deforestation]] and [[extinction]] and [[new virus]]es that [[jump species]] into humans and kill large numbers of people (sometimes using [[factory farm]]s as incubators on the way, though the new virus almost always comes from a newly damaged forest area or wild bird/animal population).

A fairly large number of people believes that the '''Bank'''ers are guilty of more than one [[crime against humanity]], and should simply all be put on trial. ''See [[w:anti-globalization movement]] for more on its opposition.'' | A fairly large number of people believes that the '''Bank'''ers are guilty of more than one [[crime against humanity]], and should simply all be put on trial.

Former economists at the Bank have sometimes left their jobs to take part in protests against it, [[Joseph Stiglitz]] being the most obvious example. | Former economists at the Bank have sometimes left their jobs to take part in protests against it, [[Joseph Stiglitz]] being the most obvious example. | ||
