Bush and EU (Update)

For pure entertainment value the gloved Punch & Judy or Balinese shadow puppets are preferable to Bush and the EU leaders. The images the media presents of these flesh and blood puppets, all ‘stringed’ by their respective Transnational Corporations, are amusing if not entertaining.

Would anyone need electronic listening devices to know the topic of their discussions? In the face of unified opposition from Syria and Iran, against the thieving Corporations, the EU responds by compromising principle and forming alliances with the US – integrity takes another ‘dive.’ Chirac and Schroeder (especially) prove they are lackeys after all – this is no surprise for analysts and others who know that corporate interests rule and political ‘leaders’ are expendable.

The transparent machinations of Western ‘leaders’ are amusing for the reason that few believe their lies any longer. The people of Germany have been fully immunised against ultra-right-wing tactics of lies, war and plunder. The French people are loath to believe or follow anyone. The leaders have not been listening to the talk in the public houses, streets and halls. It is far more difficult to dupe the people of Europe than the US population. And therein lies the major oversight of the puffed-up buffoons who think they actually lead.

Western leaders are fully aware that fanatical groups already possess the materials required for at least two powerful nuclear weapons – it is only a matter of time before these materials are transformed into weapons. Attempts to curtail other nations from manufacturing these weapons are futile. Fanatics are extremely resourceful (and predictable) the likely targets would be New York and Rome. Can these attacks be prevented by the powers? Absolutely not; by the people, possibly but highly unlikely, action for peace would require unified action on a global scale; national boundaries would need to be eliminated and all flags burned – fantasy at present but an inevitable outcome nevertheless. It is a profound tragedy so many have to die before the lesson is learnt.

The war that brought us all to the present situation was won without a murmur. The (approximate) twenty five year siege on representative government by the Corporations has ended in victory for the Corporations. Western governments are now fully compliant to International Financial Institutions and large Corporations, democracy is now complete illusion. World ‘leaders’ ceased to represent the people a long time ago; without proper representation the people are left to contend with perpetual debt-induced slavery, environmental vandalism and war – the non-sustainable and primitive methods of Corporate social ‘management.’ Avarice and the love of money fuel corporate power. Unless people cease to overvalue money the situation can only deteriorate. In order to survive in a tolerable world people need to attribute higher value to each other and the environment or face continued slavery and possible extinction.

The decision is yours, no one can ‘touch’ you in this regard – every person that turns away from greed strikes at the heart of Corporate power and becomes an inspiration to others. A word that you will never hear come off the lips of any ‘leader’ is Equality, it is one of the founding principles of the Bill of Rights, demand it, it is an inalienable and constitutional right. Equal pay for all and the equitable distribution of wealth would correct the social imbalances of the world. Unity of purpose is not too difficult to muster when the alternatives are considered.

It is the vested interests and fearful cringers who scoff at this proposition – real Freedom is earned not bestowed.

We are One.
