A sunrise over the ocean, a maple leaf swirling in clear spring water, the little hand touching your cheek, the beauty of words coming from a writer's soul what happened to the marvels of life? What happened to the real world?
So how did this Ersatz world come about?
Capitalism, the way it is playing out today, is incompatible with true democracy. This insanity, this absurd form of capitalism is altogether negating a humane system of running the world with any consideration at all for the people on the planet.
Free Market capitalism, the Chicago School of Economics professor, Milton Friedman's brainchild [1], globalization, the catchword for the Empire's total domination over the rest of the world, Washington's New World Order, enriching the very few and strangling the masses call it what you like but it's a fantasy that is now finally crumbling. It all amounts to "screw the people' and "greed is the power that makes the world go round'. The religion in the U.S.A. is greed and it's the only true religion there is.
However, the giant is crumbling. A fast-spreading gangrene is eating away at the interior of the nation, its elite-oriented and half-starved educational system, its sad excuse for a working healthcare system, its decaying infrastructure. The very souls of the people are withering away, as their jobs are lost, their homes are foreclosed, their constitutional freedoms no longer respected, civil rights being increasingly downplayed by the police and federal authorities.
All this is adding to and interacting with the economic meltdown and the destruction of the environment, which at this point doesn't even guarantee a livable future for the coming generations.
A multi-lateral world can not be stopped, as the giant is playing out its last trumps in case it has any left. Emerging countries are becoming emerged countries. There have not been many signs of awareness of this evolution of the geopolitical reality from President Obama, but rather a continuation of the Neocon imperialism, which will, if allowed a free rein, lead the planet to disaster. It will render the environment unlivable and thus destroy the way of life of the billions of people all over the world. With the environment in ruins, there is just no way back. The corporations whose greed is responsible for the current situation do not seem to realize or care about the direction in which they are steering our planet.
