		+	The logic of public services chips away at ideology of privatization: ''Many a local government has learned the hard way that even water is a commodity from which to squeeze a profit once privatized, with human need an afterthought. Decades of ideology have attempted to instill the idea that the private sector is always superior to government; that government can only mismanage what is in its hands.''

		+	''Although attempting to flip this discredited, self-serving phantasmagoria by arguing the complete opposite would not stand up to scrutiny, either, the realm of facts and data firmly contradict the standard corporate ideology. Government after government has found that privatization was a mistake in what has become a wave of “re-municipalization” — the return of public services to public management.'' <ref>The logic of public services chips away at ideology of privatization https://systemicdisorder.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/public-services-work/</ref>

 Democracy Now, December 26, 2006: ''As Hundreds Die in an Oil Pipeline Explosion in Lagos, A Look At the Fight Over Nigeria’s Natural Resources: In Nigeria up to 500 people have died after an oil pipeline exploded earlier this morning in the country’s commercial capital of Lagos. It is feared the final death toll could be much higher. The explosion comes at a time when tension has been rising - especially in the Niger Delta - over who controls the region’s vast natural resources. Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil producer and the United States' 5th largest oil supplier.'' <ref name=":0">As Hundreds Die in an Oil Pipeline Explosion in Lagos, A Look At the Fight Over Nigeria’s Natural Resources http://www.democracynow.org/2006/12/26/as_hundreds_die_in_an_oil

 === Carve-up ===
 Meanwhile Greece is being carved up? As more and more sensitive areas of the country's infrastructure are put to the hammer, the need for absolute transparency and scrutiny is vital. Unfortunately, the consensus seems to be that Greece's silverware must go, at any price. The situation is quickly turning into a carve-up, like the ones Britain and other countries witnessed in the 1980s. As it happened in Britain, once the dust settles, the bill will go to the people who have the least say and oversight on the situation: the Greek taxpayers. <ref>Al Jazeera: Our big fat Greek privatisation scandals - Is Greece's privatisation spree really a success story? http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2014/06/our-big-fat-greek-privatisation--20146921125385770.html</ref>
