Hoe de CIA en Amerikaanse multinationals Nieuw-Guinea en de wereldorde vormden | Gerard Aalders

In this episode of De Nieuwe Wereld, Jelle van Baardwijk speaks with historian and researcher Gerard Aalders about his latest book: "New Guinea: A People as Prey of American Multinationals, Geopolitics, and the CIA." Aalders, known for his digging into controversial subjects such as the monarchy and the power of money, sheds a revealing light on an underexposed part of Dutch and global history. The conversation begins at the roots of the current world order: the economic entanglement between American and German industries during the Second World War. Aalders explains how these interests led to the establishment of the CIA and how the United States deliberately steered towards global hegemony at the expense of the old colonial powers. #2276 ------------------------ Support DNW Make the sound of the New World possible.
