Linguistic Imperialism and the Old World Order

by J. Jericho
( September 15, 2018, Boston, Sri Lanka Guardian) Over the past decade, it has become increasingly evident that the world is transitioning into a new economic world order. This transformation of the global political economy is transpiring on a scale and pace not witnessed since the construction of the Bretton Woods system in the aftermath of WWII. The Brexit referendum on 23 June 2016 is symbolic of the maturation of this momentum towards a just economic order that is based on national sovereignty as opposed to fascist global control exerted by a handful of corrupt inbred families. This evolution has been gradually unfolding since BRICS members held their first official summit in Yekaterinburg in 2009.

I am hopeful that the consolidation of this righteous new economic order will provide the impetus and political clout required for global leaders to address one of the most blatant mass human rights atrocities that has persisted on our planet in living memory. Since the late 1980s, the white supremacist International English Language Testing System (IELTS) consortium has engaged in state-sponsored transnational organized crimes on a mass scale. Their agenda aims to further enrich the national sponsors of this corrupt language exam: Britain, Canada and Australia. IELTS’s global crimes include human-trafficking, modern slavery, fraud, racketeering and extortion.
Australia, Canada and to a lesser extent Britain have long ranked among the top five destinations for economic migrants. This is due to their advanced economies, sophisticated infrastructure, stable societies and prestige. There is ample opportunity for unconscionable governments of these nations to take advantage of desperate economic migrants from developing countries to enrich their homelands via rigged migration visa scams. Sadly, this dire scenario has been taking place on a colossal scale for decades via IELTS exam fraud, with no end in sight.
In 2016, the CEO of IDP Education Australia, a co-owner of IELTS, was awarded a salary package of AUD 16.4 million. Two thirds of Andrew Barkla’s salary were derived from IELTS sales. One IELTS tests cost circa one month’s salary earned by a mid-career Filipino nurse. As evident from this unconscionable oligopoly price gouging, IDP Education has nothing do to with education. Its ruthless, criminal agenda aims to maximize profits, dividends, share prices and executive salaries.
The majority of IELTS’s human trafficking and fraud crimes are citizens of India and China. It is time for China and India to show leadership. These powerful nations have a moral obligation to prosecute Australia, Britain and Canada before the International Court of Justice. The ostensible absence of diplomatic intervention by these powerful Asian nations, and others, causes me to question whether the state-sponsors of IELTS’s crimes covertly offer other nations’ leaders bribes and/or threats in return for these nations looking the other way. Australia is the largest supplier of uranium to India. It is the largest supplier of iron ore to China.
In recent years, the number of anti IELTS protest websites continues to grow exponentially. The number of complaints about IELTS posted on blog sites, YouTube, chat forums and personal websites number in the hundreds of thousands. This is a conservative estimate. This online truth revolution makes it near-impossible for national stakeholders to bury their head in the sand and hope that this massive injustice will eventually go away. It will not. This morbidly obese elephant in the sewer must be euthanized – one way or another.
I propose that the Canadian and Australian Governments offer IELTS’s fraud victims permanent residency visas. Most victims each spent hundreds-of-thousands of dollars on tuition fees, as international students, and IELTS exam fees to ‘purchase’ residency visas that were falsely advertised by Canada and Australia as the reward that awaits eligible international students who graduate in their nations. These nations use IELTS as their proxy to expel most international students from their country via exam fraud after they graduate and are no longer welcome.
The voluntary issuance of residency visas to circa one million people who have been defrauded by IELTS by the Morrison, May and Trudeau Governments, and their predecessors, offers these nations a face-saving way out of this quagmire. This solution will also save each nation tens of billions of dollars in compensation which they are obligated to pay to the many people whose life-course has been destroyed by sadistic state-sponsored trickery.
I foresee that Britain, Canada and Australia will adopt this cash preserving, restorative justice option to circumnavigate the International Court of Justice nightmare solution. After all, when it comes to IELTS, it has always been about the money.
