A dramatic case of a peacetime merger of military and police to make war on their country’s poor was the October 13, 2011 attack on Brazil’s Rocinha neighborhood and its ongoing occupation by United Nations trained soldiers together with Brazilian police. This is not the first, and it certainly will not be the last.

If your country has contributed soldiers to UN missions, sit up and take notice. Blue helmets are coming home to roost. Here, for example, is the roster of the troop contributors to the United Nations (de)Stabilization Mission in Haiti called MINUSTAH:

Argentina, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Japan, Jordan, El Salvador, Nepal, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, South Korea, Sri Lanka, the U.S., and Uruguay.

The so-called peacekeepers are the fastest-growing branch of the UN, with a budget of $8 billion and over 110,000 troops serving 15 operations.

Now… [gasp!] Western prime ministers are summarily removed and exchanged for financiers. Former European Central Bank vice-president Lucas Papademos replaced Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, and Mario Monti, an international adviser to Goldman Sachs, will likely replace ousted Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
