The first half of the 20th century was dominated
by a struggle to find economic supremacy through military action. Both WW1 and
WW2 that included the imperial war in the East that Japan started in the
interests of securing South-East Asian domination and through the capture of the
wealth of others (their natural resources and the slave labour that came with
those conquests), was all for their nation’s economic benefit. Germany was the
same. But one can say that about most wars according to history where the
non-empathy with other humans for the sheer benefit of the aggressors has
always gone on. These wars of course all had the same base causes predominantly,
that of ‘inequality’ and the subject matter in 2014 of the Davos gathering of
the good and the powerful.

In the second half of the 20th century and the
start of the 21st century a more destructive mechanism has evolved,
that of globalization. Indeed when the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction
(MAD) came about it was no good to go to war for economic gain as a military
WW3 would destroy the world forever as we know it. As most leaders of sovereign
nations are cowards, as they always send others to war and never themselves (as
an example it is over 500 years since a leader rode at the front of his army in
battle in the UK), even they knew that there was no future in exploring global
conflict as that would lead to their own demise and death also.
Therefore a new mechanism had to be born where other nation’s
wealth could be captured without MAD entering the equation. Initially though
this was not the purpose, as globalisation and liberalization of markets was
seen as the way of preserving peace that would never allow MAD to escape out of
Pandora's box. Unfortunately with most well intentioned thoughts, this has now been
corrupted over the last half century to the benefit of the global
multi-nationals and supported behind closed doors by their politicians. Globalization
therefore equates to the new form of warfare, economic warfare. Unfortunately
this is far more deadly than conventional military world wars as they continue
in perpetuity, capturing wealth wherever for the corporation and the world’s
wealthiest individuals. Some of them will not even know this, but indirectly
they are causing inequality to expand year-on-year across the globe. For the
reason why they do not see what is happening and where they are driving this
situation is because all they see is their personal wealth amassing as a new
year begins and that’s all that counts. The super-rich are therefore blind to
what is happening but where as the population of the world heads towards 10
billion by 2050 and possibly 15 billion by 2100 (UN possible projections using
different scenarios but remember there will not be a WW3 because of MAD), it is
common sense that the people will eventually rise up against globalization and
the super-rich (together with their politicians). Indeed as presently 0.7% of
the adult global population according to the 2013 report by Credit Suisse controls
41% of the wealth of the world and 50% of the world’s people only control
around 1% of the world’s wealth, this is a global tinderbox that will rise up eventually. For the definition of a
tinderbox is ‘a burned or partly burned substance, that is not
reduced to ashes but is incapable of further combustion. That is what
has happened to the people with the advent of globalization that has gone so
sadly wrong for the future of humankind.

Therefore those in Davos should know in no uncertain terms
that they are reaping a whirlwind of destruction in the 21st century
through their sheer greed and nothing more. Indeed as China continues its march
to economic supremacy with the help of western corporations just looking for
their own gain and not the gain of their people back home, the ‘West’ will
become increasingly impoverished as the years go by. You see these people are
not bothered whether their home country losses masses of jobs as has been the
case through globalization to press, as that means very little to them. All
that counts is their personal wealth.
It is also clear now that behind closed doors big business
is pulling all the political strings. For in this respect it appears that the
global corporations (a mere 2,000 of them controlled 51% of the world’s
economic turnover last year) has succeeded in creating a system (globalization) that makes
all working citizens simply the ‘cash-cow’ to be exploited wherever and where
our politicians do literally nothing. The USA-EU TTIP trade agreement is a fine
example here of the corrupt power of big business taking over the world and the
direct control of citizens, as this trade pact will even allow corporations to rise
above sovereign laws themselves. You think that this is mad and could not
possibly be, just wait and see our politicians sign up to it adhering too their indirect
master’s wishes.
'The Lie Machine' - http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Lie-Machine-by-Paul-Craig-Roberts-America_Corporate_Corporations_Power-141012-777.html by Dr Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan Administration
In this way steadily the world is becoming a far more volatile environment
for all to live therefore and this is being driven by the sheer greed of the few. No ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’
here and all perfectly true if people would open up their minds.
'The Illusion of Democracy' - http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Illusion-of-Democracy-by-Gilbert-Mercier-150304-357.html
Therefore it is time that people realised that when they are
voting for a better life they are in reality voting for the ‘party’ and where
this corrupt system will eventually lead us all to the abyss. Time has come therefore to change the
democratic system that totally panders to the ‘party’ and vote for anyone else
except the system that has brought us to a world in constant conflict…all
brought about by the political and economic greed of the very few.
For over the years we have come to understand the mindset of
globalization and where when tens and hundreds of billions of dollars is
concerned, the people can go to hell.
Single examples of this are where the mighty corporations
have stopped the introduction through their governments of the ‘cure’ for all
hard drug addicts, as it would mean that the big pharmaceuticals (nearing a US$
1 trillion a year global turnover) would lose tens of billions in sales and another
through the destruction of the only strategy that has stopped bird flu in its
tracks (1997). Why would governments do this if the corporations were not
pulling all the strings in the background as a cure for class ‘A’ drugs would save
100s of millions from the scourge of drug addiction and were the highly contagious
human-to-human bird flu will according to some take over a billion lives the
next time around. Indeed Dr. Margaret Chan Director-General of the WHO has stated
many times that it is not a question of if but when. Unfortunately we know of
many more where government and vested-interest global industries have colluded
in going against the people’s clear benefit in the quest of personal wealth.
Therefore these powerful corporations are now dicing with
the lives of hundreds of millions and where our politicians now do all their
bidding. This is what globalization has done for the world and is increasingly
doing so. Unfortunately these people are leading us all to times of unending
global conflict but where they appear to be oblivious to the fact. Indeed when
the conflict comes as it will, the military will inevitably join on the
side of the people, for that is where they have their roots.
The biggest problem of course is to change all this but where our political leaders are bought and sold on the altar of power and wealth both in the USA and the UK. For when it comes to ultimate control, less than a mere thousand people control the destiny of the USA as an example, and at their pleasure. For it's official now, as they control the White House in reality, even before a new President is elected, no matter which Party gets into power. In this respect, in the USA things are not as they seem and where western media controlled by the top 1% wealthiest Americans, is suppressing the 'real' America of today. A few Americans have bought their political leaders before they even enter the White House and where the working poor, working class and middle class that accounts for 90% of the American people, have no say anymore in their country's future. Only the rich and powerful has any real say. Indeed the article by investigative journalists at the New York times released on 10 October 2015 makes this perfectly clear For just 158 families have provided nearly half of the early money for efforts to capture the White House. - http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/11/us/politics/2016-presidential-election-super-pac-donors.html?emc=edit_na_20151010&ref=headline&_r=0

As a postscript and the way that our political masters now think, the USA, Canada, Ukraine and most European countries (through abstaining in a vote at the UN), are in favour of Nazism, even though in Germany where Nazism was born and killed and murdered tens of millions throughout WW2 (over 50 million). Sadly you could not make it up if you tried but where this is perfectly true unfortunately for humanity.
Whitewashing Fascism - USA, Canada and Ukraine Vote against a UN Resolution in "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance." Therefore the USA, Canada and the Ukraine are for Nazism and where European countries mainly abstained as they did not want to upset Obama.

Well said! Reminds me of old Oriental proverb:
ReplyDelete"Man who knows, when enough is enough,
will always have enough"
But the reverse is also true:
"Man who doesn't know, when enough is enough,
will never have enough."
The latter describes most folks at Davos,
and that's why I use the word "sociopath."
They have little or no conscience nor empathy for anyone else.
The good that they try to do is like sending flowers to their rape victims.
Edward, glad to make your acquaintance and where your reply is 'spot' on.
DeleteThe problem that we see are that across the world and as the emerging economies grow, the very same thing that has happened in the West, happens in every so-called developing country also. Indeed I remember over 10-years ago now that a SE Asian business guy stated on the news, "you have your billionaires in the West, we shall have the first trillionaire in the East". What a target and where he should have said, "We intend not to go like the West and share our wealth with our people". Now wouldn't that have been nicer and where there would have been more chance of a peaceful world order going from one generation to another ? But we have these psychopaths and they just simply see wealth for themselves and harness it wherever they can. Have you viewed the Horizon series "Are you good or evil?" If not you should as its research determined that a minimum of one in 25 business leaders and politicians had psychopathic tendencies and where they had NO empathy whatsoever in their fellow man or woman behind closed doors. Surprisingly for the presenter, he found out that he was one of these 1 in 25. But I now believe that the boardroom is full of these types and the reason why they get to the top by having no feelings whatsoever for their fellow human beings and trample on them to get where they personally want to go - rich but morally bankrupt.
I'd like you to join my circle if you would and will try and get in touch.
Best regards,
David
