We are no exception, I'm afraid. If what the majority of the people in the country wants does not happen, there is no democracy. What do we want most right now? We want to end Iraq's war, we want to insure we don't attack Iran, and we desperately want to impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. If none of this happens, how could anyone even think that this is a democracy?
Then we need to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better system that will be democratic. I hope a civil war will be unnecessary for this to happen. Perhaps the people we have elected as our representatives will wake up and make it happen for us, before we have to take control of the government ourselves and replace it entirely, as Jefferson anticipated in the Declaration of Independence.
Globalization is the way by which some humans that you can count on one hand will take over the world and drive it to extinction. Greed and thirst for power as main motivations will make sure of it, as greed and thirst for power know no boundaries. You can quote me on that.
Even if there was no New World Order organization working against us, globalization benefits only a few die hard capitalists capable of conquering the world's markets with near infinite financial means. And so, whether there is a New World Order conspiracy or not makes no difference. Globalization can only be offensive as it can only profit the few over the many.
This is difficult to grasp, because most of us don't know what greed and thirst for power really mean, we barely can conceptualize what having billions of dollars or pounds or Euros at our disposal really means, because most of us cannot conceive of so much money and power. One thing is certain: In a real democracy we would work toward a new beginning, a golden age for everyone. If they are not controlled by the greedy, there are enough resources for everyone in this world. (Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
At this time we cannot deny that some evil force has been at work in international politics, mostly coming from leaders of the most powerful countries. There is enough evidence to show that there is smoke, and there is no smoke without fire. It bears repeating, too, that changing leaders, even changing political parties, will change nothing.
The course to globalization seems to be the means to achieve some unknown goals. All we know is that these goals have nothing to do with making everything easier, bringing peace in the world, eliminating poverty or bringing some happiness.
I don't know about the European Union, but the North American Union between Mexico, the United States and Canada can only mean one thing. The American President will be taking over all the decisions and resources for the whole of North America, and I suppose this is just a beginning. How Canada can sign such a deal, and it might already have been made, is beyond me. Surrendering our sovereignty to the United States, turns me into an instant separatist, even though it is well known that I have never been keen on Québec separating from the rest of Canada in the first place. I am French-Canadian, living in Britain, just so you can understand where I'm coming from.
In this day and age, as long as you are not American yourself, it is likely that the word America leaves you uneasy. If not, then I guess you are blind and need to read some more. You cannot blame most Americans though, you can't even blame most of the members of their government, the poor kids are all completely powerless. Because the American government is strangely organized that, in the end, there is but one man deciding the fate of the whole country and the world, and nothing and no one can stop him. Not even democracy, elections or public opinion.
Whatever you vote for, whoever gets elected, has already been decided by others you will never hear anything about. And whoever you elect does not matter, they are all working towards the same goal, they are all working for the same people and corporations, the world of high finance.
I am not convinced Barack Obama is not already one of them. If he wins the elections and becomes President, then we would be certain, wouldn't we? You could not possibly be in power and work against them, even with the best intentions, moral and ethic that God can provide. Fear has always been the most powerful tool in politics, and fear needs be applied only in a few high places for it to work so perfectly.
Globalization sounded like such a great idea, just like democracy. Just like socialism sounded so great in theory. However, nothing is ever like it seems, and if you read upon the subject even just a little, you will quickly understand that there is no such thing as democracy, freedom, evolution towards a better free world, a happy peaceful world. That no political system or solution will ever work, because other dark people in the shadows are working terribly hard to make sure they remain in power and become richer.
At the first sign of this we should see rebellion. But this is never going to happen, it is unlikely on a global level, because in this day and age, it is clear as day what leaders are doing, what they are working towards, and yet, everyone chooses to be completely blind to it.
There is an expression saying: "Hiding in plain sight". In this case it is no longer hidden, and yet we choose to do nothing. We believe everything, but there comes a point when it can no longer be overlooked or denied. We have reached the point where conspiracy theories are reaching the mainstream, and everyone is talking about it. Even the mass media, when not carrying water for the corporacracy, suggest a reading between the lines, if you listen carefully. A warning of dictatorship and tyranny, and belatedly, some resistance movement forming. We are going to need it.
Let's just make sure that in the end this is exactly what we will get, a true globalization to make this world a better one, a happier one for everyone, crowned by a real democracy. No political system will ever be what we hope for as long as greed and thirst for power can still get to the top and decide for everyone. Something needs to happen, something revolutionary, and yet, it might not bring anything better.
