When Governments Fail... The People

Title:
When Governments Fail... The People

Description:
We buy and sell in one global market. We work and compete in one global workforce. We exchange thoughts through one global communication network. We travel through one global transportation network. We have become one global public. As members of one global public, we share responsibilities as well as rights and powers. Because of today's growing challenges, we must recognize our shared responsibilities and use our shared rights and powers to build greater social justice and security — for ourselves and future generations. We must make a plan of action that is legal, peaceful, and based on reason — and we must use it. This is our moral duty. When we recognize ourselves as members of one global public, we recognize our strength to guide the direction of our world. We are not at the mercy of tyrants. We can stop them in legal and peaceful ways. We are all responsible and empowered to co-create our shared future. We have the power to make our world better and the power to make our individual lives better. What price do we pay for not taking healthy action? What price do we pay for remaining silent while governments and businesses use mass media to turn people into passive, obedient, ignorant sheeple? Many allow themselves to be divided and conquered. They blindly accept the lie that they are superior based on their religion, race, and nationality. The masses are kept ignorant and arrogant — so they are easily divided and conquered. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." (Thomas Jefferson) The world spends over $1.3 trillion a year on military. At the same time, governments approve billions in business with the same nations that they spend billions preparing to fight. They get the poor to kill the poor. In the last century, governments organized the killing of over 100 million through war and genocide. Hundreds of millions more were injured and impoverished. At the same time, personal fortunes were made in every war. International bankers and arms dealers helped all sides — as they still do. "War is a racket. The few profit, and the many pay." (U.S. Major General Butler) Today, half of the world's people struggle to live on less than $2 per day — while the handful of super rich keeps growing. The middle class that still remains in some countries is being squeezed out of existence. Around the world, class extremism is growing — and the police state that it needs for protection is growing along with it. Clever excuses are made for slowly stripping away people's rights. The ignorant masses believe the lies that mass media feeds them. They are being obediently programmed by TV and radio news and entertainment. And they are losing their rights to privacy and self-protection. Democracies are being eroded into business-controlled empires, where the laws place profit first and people second. "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, because it is the merger of state and corporate power." (Mussolini, the father of fascism) Today's richest and most profitable businesses are in oil, banking, and medicine. At the same time, more people are struggling to afford fuel, to pay debts, and to buy medicine. People are working more, but they have less. Where is the reward of their effort going? Why don't governments protect the people? Do governments of so-called democracies even represent the people? How much more will people pay before they finally take healthy action? And when they take action, what will they do? New politicians and new parties do not work. Communism does not work. Democracy with easily corrupted elections does not work. Religion-controlled government does not work. What will restore people's power to govern and protect themselves? Finding answers is the focus of what you are about to view.
