The
world is sick and that's the truth.
However
we look at it, there is a mountain of evidence that the world, as we
speak is ailing. Society is faltering on the brink of collapse, due
to enormous pressure from all sides, and to add to this I see an
undercurrent of vicious dis-stain for the working class people who
are clearly the ones doing the suffering, as a payment for
their hard working ethics whilst the rich thrive and continue to
prosper.
What
is seriously amiss, is in my view, the loving kindness that could
save all humanity this tragedy. The poor are being made to suffer for
the crimes and injustices of the rich and greedy, and as a slap in
the face, we get the constant bombardment of how well they are doing
and how much more wealth they are achieving, rubbed into our faces by
those same said people through the media.
With
headlines that constantly revolve around;
“R.B.S.
Have elected a new chairman, as so and so leaves after having failed
to reach targets, etc. etc.
(Oh
and by the way he wont be taking all of his bonuses, but he will take
a lesser “X” million...)”
“A
major retail/supermarket chain make new record profits.”
“The
queen was celebrating her winning of £150,000 in the Derby.”
and,
“A
premiership football manager, gets a new contract for 4 years, worth
about “X” million pounds.”
“So
and so actress has bought a new dress worth £500,000 to wear to the
Oscars.”
Poke me in the eye with a stick why don't you?
Poke me in the eye with a stick why don't you?
I
don't want to be the bearer of scorn over any ones apparent success,
but do I need it to be shoved in my face how obscenely rich they are
still becoming, despite a global financial crisis ? One that this
type of greed is fueling.
I
realise that the way society is orchestrated, the lives of the rich
seem to be celebrated as if we are all benefiting from that dream.
But the truth is that we are not.
Once
upon a time I think it was arguable about how the crisis began. Now
it is definitively clear that greed was the cause of it. The greed of
a few devious and unscrupulous individuals (many thousands,
possibly millions of people in reality) that brought the global
financial world to its knees and certain collapse. Driven on by the
people at the top of this chain, the bankers and business bosses, and
corrupt government ministers, seeking to out-do one another for
personal financial gains.
I'm
no financial expert so I expect to be shot down in flames here, but
is it not true that the very same ones who are responsible for the
crash, are the same said people who are benefiting continuously
throughout this apparent crisis? Are they not still going on
expensive holidays and buying new things, cars, houses and jewellery,
whilst many millions of hard working people lose theirs?
The
poor did not cause this crisis. They may have been duped into buying
credit from the rich and powerful for many years, believing this
bubble was sustainable, but they did not directly cause the economy
to fail. They did not receive hefty benefits from the growth of the
country as it is being said that they have. But, they are the ones,
we the poor are the ones who are paying for the greedy, bad economic
decisions of those people. They fail or make errors of sound
judgement, they get a huge bonus severance payout. We fail we get the
sack or redundancy.
Just
look at the riots and demonstrations going on around the globe, to
see if what I am saying is not true. Services are being cut, not from
the rich (who have power to pay for them privately) but they are
being taken from the poor. Service charges are going up almost
monthly from energy companies, not I venture because they don't make
any profit, but not enough profit, and these rises affect the poor
directly. Bedroom taxes, food prices, fuel prices and transportation,
benefits and taxes generally. It has almost conclusively been shown
that the rich manage to avoid paying taxes anyway, so that only
leaves the working class people to pay any. And we don't get our
voices heard in any of the decisions that matter to us, it is all
decided by people who's personal financial standings will not put
them close to the edge of despair. Yes of course I am generalizing
far too much, and I apologize to anyone who feels aggrieved that the
poor should get a look in at the riches of the planet.
I
said earlier that society is faltering on the brink of collapse. I
really mean that it appears this way still, given that all of our
understanding about this situation comes from the same group that
caused the problem in the first place. Those in positions of power.
What I should have said which is (Only my personal view) that the
economy has already crashed. The tower of power is blowing in the
wind following the collapse, from the rubble is a voice saying, “we
are still standing.”
The
tower has already fallen, we, (the people) are still being told,
“there is nothing to worry about, go back to your homes, its all
under control.”
Sadly
I believe the last part of this above statement to be the only honest
thing they have said. “It's all under control.” Yes, it is most
definitely. Their control, not ours......
Like
the band on the deck of the Titanic, our and every government are
saying, “were O.K, keep listening to our music the ship isn't
sinking. Don't go to the life boats, we'll be fine.”
Only
a fool would believe this after watching that film Titanic. We are
not going to be O.K. The ship is sinking, almost completely and that
tower has already collapsed. They, the people supposedly offering
sound governance, are the only ones who know the truth for certain,
and they are the ones giving this false information. Probably so they
can keep skimming off the money they think will save them, before we
realise what has happened. The rest of us only have a brief glimmer
of this reality. The truth is out there, if you are prepared to see
it, but it will mean a dramatic shift in your perceptions. It will be
frightening to accept, clearly. That doesn't make it any the less
true. I for one would rather have the truth, than this veil of lies
we receive every day, spoon fed by the media.
And,
I would prefer it if they did not rub my nose in the wealth of the
rich and greedy who are still thriving, despite the shortfall of the
majority of households daily financial budgets. The thing about
austerity is that it is paid for by the poor.
I
urge the governments and financial institutions, the businesses that
take more than is fair, to rethink this situation before we too
descend into street protests and rioting as the norm. I do not
support violence as you may well know. I am a Peaceful Warrior,
fighting for the rights of all, but without aggression. Violence only
be-gets more violence, if you take a quick look at our entire history
on this planet. I am all for protesting and discourse, argument that
is balanced and two way, for how else will we move forward? Despite
my prediction of what is to come, I will not allow myself to be
aggressor towards any person, but I am prepared to protest. I will
not become dis-civil towards society or the government, despite their
view that any more than 5 people assembled without their permission
is classed as an illegal gathering. This is really fascism not true
democracy, but I do not want to live in a world without governance. I
would simply prefer governance that was honest and balanced and not
for certain individuals but for the whole of society.
There
are many injustices in our world, human beings are responsible for
all of them. In the west we
are very fortunate, we don't live in abject poverty, despite our
potential feeling that we do, that we are poor. We have basic
services and shelter for most of our citizens, unlike many developing
nations. What we fail to realise is that we are very fortunate to
have so many luxuries, when a majority of the worlds populations
don't. I believe we would do well to review what we do have rather
than what we don't have.
We
are all capable of love, so please let that love move us to greater
acts of sharing and loving kindness. I predict that we are about to
become just like Greece and Turkey at any day now. Our Police will be
tear gassing us and firing water cannons in the streets. The only
reason they won't kill us in our millions is because they need us to
do the work they won't or cannot do. And guess whom the police force
paid for by tax payers will be protecting? Not the poor, but the ones
who control their power, the rich and the mighty.
What a heroine. don't let them beat you down.
Have
you never wondered what they are suppressing us for? Why are they so
afraid of our voices and our opinions? Why they never seem to listen
when the majority of us say no to war and yes to peace? Why is a man
like Julian Assange a threat to anyone, when all he has done is
expose the lies that the governments dish out as facts? Have you
never wondered why any person acting on the part of peace, fairness
and justice eventually becomes victim to a seemingly random and or
needless murder. (Or attempted murder)
N.B.
I
hope my post has been a help to you in thinking outside of their box.
A box that does not truly exist at all. Don't try to think outside of
the box, think that there is no box.!!
May
love and peace bring harmony to you all, anyone whom this message
reaches. My love and blessings are sent out to you especially.
Peaceful
Warrior.
