Welke (mogelijke) ontwikkelingen in de wereld pakken (waarschijnlijk) in het nadeel uit van de gewone wereldburger en welke strekken (waarschijnlijk) juist tot voordeel? Hierop alert zijn en berichten hierover delen kan mogelijk bijdragen aan de bescherming van de belangen van die gewone wereldburger.
Om te beginnen een artikel waarin gewezen wordt op hoe machtige maatschappelijke spelers de bewegingsvrijheid van gewone burgers kan beknotten. Het gaat hier over een beschouwing over wat er in de Verenigde Staten aan de hand zou zijn, een factor die er in de wereld toe doet.
The Corruption of our Nation
Daaruit citaten die er wat mij betreft uitspringen :
The corruption of political systems by global corporatists has filtered down to our science, medicine and healthcare systems and must be exposed.
The corporatists have infiltrated all three branches of government, and it is up to us, the people, to take control back.
The nation and its governing arms (including the intrenched bureaucracy often referred to as the "deep state") now primarily serves the interests of multinational corporations, their managers and owners, instead of the other way around- serving the people. The term that best describes this system of government is called inverted totalitarianism. This term was first coined in 2003 by the political theorist and writer Dr. Sheldon Wolin. Inverted totalitarianism is what the government of the United States has devolved into, as he had warned might happen many years ago in the book "Democracy Incorporated". The United States has been co-opted into a managed democracy. This democracy was placed into the hands of oligarchs by bureaucratic imperatives and managerial principles and practices, which have created a creeping form of totalitarianism. Now we can clearly see the liberties and freedom of this democracy being eroded rapidly just as Wolin predicted. The ending result is this new form of totalitarianism, that (unlike classical totalitarianism) does not have an authoritarian leader, but instead is run by a non-transparent group of managers and elites who run the country from within.
Will democracy control capitalism or will capitalism control democracy? Two of our founding fathers, Jefferson and Hamilton, represent the two sides of the coin in this tension, and awareness of this dynamic conflict was built into our constitution. In theory, the people, through democratic representation, are empowered to elect leaders and pass laws, but when corporate financial interests become too powerful they are able to overthrow this relationship and capture political control by exerting financial power and influence over the political process.
Capitalism in the service of a representative democracy, not the other way around. That is what this great nation was founded on.
Resistance is almost the only way that this can be fought. It has to be organized; funding and the effort must have professional organizers.
Resistance has begun, largely in church communities and self-assembling social media aggregates, with people organizing to form autonomous groups outside of the formal power structures which include the two main political parties - both of whom have been significantly captured by corporate interests (the Uniparty). In order for this resistance effort to be successful, these groups will have to remove themselves from corporate influence and funding.
"One of the things we have seen over the last 30 or 40 years is a gradual silencing of people who are doctors or scientists," Saul said. "They are silenced by the managerial methodology of contracts. You sign an employment contract that says everything you know belongs to the people who hired you. You are not allowed to speak out. Take that [right] away and you have a gigantic educated group who has a great deal to say and do, but they are tied up. They don't know how to untie themselves. They come out with their Ph.D. They are deeply in debt. The only way they can get a job is to give up their intellectual freedom. They are prisoners."
Regulatory and operational capture of the hospitals, health insurance and physicians is almost one hundred percent complete now. The government, big pharma, big tech and hospitalists have worked in consort to silence scientists and physicians.
Transnational corporate rule is not limited by national rules and regulations, and its tentacles are everywhere. At the national level, we see its effects on the judicial, legislative and executive branches. On the international level, the money and power from the transnational organizations has bought off entities like the World Health Organization. The nominal head and coordinating body of this globalized effort to control the world through capitalism has become the World Economic Forum, whose primary belief is that national boundaries are less important than global connectivity and management through corporatism.
The current move to embrace censorship by the legacy media, big tech and their hypnotized minions are examples of what our future holds.
this new form of global fascism, otherwise known as inverted totalitarianism, is an enemy like none of us have seen before.
Kort gezegd gaat het hier om de aantasting van mogelijkheden van gewone burgers in de Verenigde Staten met vergelijkbare ontwikkelingen en gevolgen in andere delen van de wereld. Vooral de vraag "Will democracy control capitalism or will capitalism control democracy?" (Zal de democratie het kapitalisme besturen of zal het kapitalisme de democratie besturen?) staat hier mijns inziens centraal en als dat laatste het geval is, is dat reden tot zorg, mijns inziens.
