The Massive Global Political Awakening

I can scarcely believe I (we) somehow overlooked an article by Zbigniew Brzezinski in the NYT when it first appeared in 2008. Brzezinski is arguably the leading geopolitical strategist and policy influencer for the now bereft of positive solutions and rapidly unravelling ruling financial elites.

Fortunately, Andrew Gavin Marshall, co-editor of the CRG, referred to it in a recent post to the Global Research web site.

Brzezinski’s view is accurate though his undisguised bias for the status quo and mass murdering elites is deplorable. Marshall’s extraction follows:

For the first time in human history almost all of humanity is politically activated, politically conscious and politically interactive... The resulting global political activism is generating a surge in the quest for personal dignity, cultural respect and economic opportunity in a world painfully scarred by memories of centuries-long alien colonial or imperial domination... The worldwide yearning for human dignity is the central challenge inherent in the phenomenon of global political awakening... That awakening is socially massive and politically radicalizing... The nearly universal access to radio, television and increasingly the Internet is creating a community of shared perceptions and envy that can be galvanized and channelled by demagogic political or religious passions. These energies transcend sovereign borders and pose a challenge both to existing states as well as to the existing global hierarchy, on top of which America still perches...

The youth of the Third World are particularly restless and resentful. The demographic revolution they embody is thus a political time-bomb, as well... Their potential revolutionary spearhead is likely to emerge from among the scores of millions of students concentrated in the often intellectually dubious "tertiary level" educational institutions of developing countries.
Depending on the definition of the tertiary educational level, there are currently worldwide between 80 and 130 million "college" students. Typically originating from the socially insecure lower middle class and inflamed by a sense of social outrage, these millions of students are revolutionaries-in-waiting, already semi-mobilized in large congregations, connected by the Internet and pre-positioned for a replay on a larger scale of what transpired years earlier in Mexico City or in Tiananmen Square. Their physical energy and emotional frustration is just waiting to be triggered by a cause, or a faith, or a hatred...

[The] major world powers, new and old, also face a novel reality: while the lethality of their military might is greater than ever, their capacity to impose control over the politically awakened masses of the world is at a historic low. To put it bluntly: in earlier times, it was easier to control one million people than to physically kill one million people; today, it is infinitely easier to kill one million people than to control one million people. [The inference is not lost, you sociopath! Emphasis and comment added]

There are no social revolutions without mass communication. Communications revolutions, the printing press of the Reformation and today’s Internet of the People's Revolution, offer good examples of communications innovations usually preceding dramatic social CHANGE/revolution. Brzezinski is fully cognisant of the fact and sends a clear message to global ruling elites, 'you' are sitting on a very short fused time bomb and there’s not a great deal you can do about it! I would add that ‘shit floats’ and it was only a matter of time before the masses became aware of the machinations and indescribable evil that elites have wrought on the world. All the horded gold and other abstract assets these elites possess are not worth a 'pinch of shit' if cultural consciousness shifts ever so slightly!

Socially incestuous and inbred by nature, these ‘elites’ have become totally dependent, for their very survival, on outside expertise. Traditionally they have bought everything they require to maintain their shadow rule over the masses/nations. However, today it is a matter of a few keystrokes to learn that the unpegged money the elites manufacture, which has been used to great effect in the uninformed past, is printed by demand from thin air by the privately owned Federal Reserve Banking system and its affiliate Banks worldwide!

In actuality that money is not worth the paper and ink used in its manufacture. Its ‘value’ is supported by a socially imposed abstract and a cleverly engineered network of dependencies. But as the Global Financial Collapse and the absurd practice of 'Quantitative Easing,' a euphemism for printing trillions of worthless toilet paper dollars indicates, the Federal Reserve Banking system has FAILED completely.

The proposed change from an over production, currency/financial economy to a carbon based penalty economy -- planned by exactly the same forces that destroyed the current economy -- has been completely exposed for the fraud that it is; refer to your favourite search engine, the ‘Carbon Con’ key phrase would reap ample results.

The question of whether the collapse of the existing inequitable social system of needless and horrific wars based on faked attacks and LIES – Gulf of Tonkin, USS Liberty and 9/11, to name a few – is something to lament or celebrate, is one YOU need to answer for yourselves but do not take too long as social REALITY is changing even as I write.

At this point in today's social hyper-time most would consider eradicating the parasitic financial/corporatist elites and the puppet politicians that serve them, a very good new start – as history indicates time and again, it’s inevitable!

Endnote:
It would probably be prudent to view with great suspicion ANY major 'event' designed to shock society into submitting to authoritarian rule for 'our own welfare' -- we've heard it all before! If Corporatist and Financial elites are stupid or desperate enough to attempt another 9/11 or worse, then the REMEDIAL course of action needs no detailed elaboration from me -- except perhaps for a final exclaim, 'nice TRY scumbags!' [Mommy, Mommy, why are all those executives hanging from light poles?]
