So, I was
scanning through Facebook, one day, when I saw this ad looking for bloggers about
the wave of action, and I thought, yeah I wouldn’t mind trying that, so I replied
to them.
Lo and behold, I
got a reply back, asking me to write about the state of global current affairs
and high level corruption going on in today’s world.
Well, that’s a
pretty big subject to broach, so I sat back and gave it some thought for a few
days. During that time I’ve spent time with my daughter, her friends and some
of my own. I think what’s surprising me the most is the complete lack of
interest from the common man.
It got me
wondering about my own apathy towards world events over the years, and how would
I approach someone who was completely unaware of these subjects and the facts. I
should point out that I’ve never voted. I’ve always been of the opinion that it
doesn’t matter who you vote for the government still get in and royally shaft
us all. That’s all.
I arrived at
the conclusion that the best way to do that would be to do it the same way I
have over the last six months or so. I’m going to introduce you to the names
that have influenced my reasons for thinking that worldwide wave of action is
absolutely vital to us all.
Maybe I should
share a bit about myself, at this point. I’m a 41 year old, single, working
class, unemployed guy being treated for bipolar disorder. I’m a Geordie and I
live on the outskirts of County Durham. I would say my world view has changed
drastically in recent times.
I’ve seen the good times and the bad, over my 41
years on this planet, and right now I believe we’re at a tipping point, as a
society.
If you’re
reading this, then you already have an inkling of what is going on in the world
today. When you look at it, the whole complex situation of energy, resources,
banks, corporations, governments, corruption, austerity, disparity,
disillusionment, the list goes on, it all seems a tad James Bond and couldn’t
possibly true. Could it?
Ok, my first
introduction to you:
Max Keiser. He’s a financial reporter on
RT, who lays out
exactly how the banks work, who they’re run by, for what purposes, how they do
it and how they get away with it. He lays it all out in clear terms and has
reported repeatedly about the mysterious deaths and ‘suicides’ of a number of
high profile bankers.
We hear each
and every day about government corruption and abuse of power. He tells who the
real players in the game and how they’re influencing everything. If you can
watch him without getting really angry, you’re a better man than me.
My next
introduction would be Abby Martin also of RT. Abby is completely outspoken
about any and all injustice’s currently going on in the world. She has real
guests who tell us in no uncertain terms how this corporatocracy is influencing
world events. Abby Martin was my introduction to the dangers of fracking and
the real players on the world stage.
The latest to
join this list, is a very courageous man by the name of Michael Ruppert. Sadly
Michael gave his life in recent weeks to bring attention to his cause. He felt
that all he had left to give was his life to bring attention to what is coming.
If you don’t know about this guy, then I suggest you go to youtube right now, search for his work, and
watch an interview with him called Collapse.
When you watch
it, remember that this interview was filmed in 2009. This is a man you can take
seriously. He’s not some quack. He’s highly respected across the world. When he
talks, you should listen.
Anyone who
gives their life selflessly to highlight a cause he feels is so dire, deserves
to have that act respected - and for people to pay attention to what he has to say.
Next, and I
know some of you may balk but at this choice, but it's Jesse Ventura. Love him or
loathe him, he’s an outspoken critic of the status quo in the US. He may seem a
bit loud and at times completely barmy, but again he’s a voice you can trust.
He’s done the system top to bottom. He’s an ex navy seal and former governor.
He knows the game and he knows the players. He’ll have you thinking he’s just
another conspiracy theorist. To quote Michael Ruppert, “I don’t deal in conspiracy
theory. I deal in conspiracy fact.”
If, by now, you’re slowly starting to wake up to what is truly going on in the world, and
gaining some insights to the players from the mainstream media outlets, such as
BBC and RT, then you’re getting a fairly decent idea of the hypocrisy of the 1%
and how they’re raping this world in the name of unsustainable growth for the
sake of a quick buck.
Climate change
is real and the corporations are loving it. It allows them to plunder more
dirty fossil fuels from the poles where they wouldn’t have been able to get too
before. This is a massive boom for them. They don’t care about what they’re
leaving to their kids or grandkids. All they care about is the money they can
make and the power they can hold.
Is there any hope
at all that we, as disparate individuals, can affect real change with worldwide
wave of action?
Yes!
There are
hundreds of options, and all of them are open sources on the internet. Free
energy is a reality and people across the world are working on it right now.
These generators only need to be able to knock out enough to run a household
system or a car, and from everything I’ve seen so far, that’s more than possible
now.
You don’t think
so? Go check out the works of Nikola Tesla. Then look at the people who are
following up his work now in the likes of Daniel Nunez and Marko Rodin. The
great thing these guys are doing, they’re putting their work out there open
source for anyone to try and work with and improve upon. If you’re a techy type
and love to tinker, these are the guys to be looking at.
Do we need
fossil fuels?
No! Everything
we need from fossil fuels we now have the technology to produce from industrial
hemp. In fact, industrial hemp is the biggest threat to the status quo right
now.
If it was to be
grown on an industrial scale across the country we could be providing our own
textiles, biofuels, plastics, animal feeds, health foods, effective medicines,
building materials, everything a thriving modern society needs. Even
electronics. The new wonder material of the age grapheme, can now be mass
produced cheaply and effectively from hemp bast.
As technology
has improved over the years, almost everything is automated. We can 3d print
houses now. How long will it be before we’re building sky scrapers that way using
materials like hempcrete and hemp carbon fibres, which as Henry Ford proved, is
actually 10 times stronger than steel. As technology takes over more and more,
where is the need to work? There will always need to be a need to work to
improve our circumstances. It’s called evolution. The world will always have
people who want to push the boundaries of what is possible and there will
always be those that just want a comfortable life at home with their families.
The universal
basic income is an idea that is gaining traction now across the world, and one I
support completely. We’re stuck at an impasse as a race, confined by bars of
debt, money and corrupt legislation. What if those bars were lifted? What if
you could do whatever you wanted to do, whenever you wanted? What if all of
your cares were taken of to the tune of say £500 per week? How many of you in
all honesty could say you would stay home and not work? Or not find something
to keep you busy? I know I couldn’t. It would drive me around the bend.
The argument
that people wouldn’t work is invalid or the likes of Bill Gates would have
given up long ago. This approach makes work really pay. Your basics are taken
care of and if you want extras like holidays, flash cars and the like then you
work for it.
There will
always be a need for a workforce to drive this technology and new future
forward, and we will all be a part of that. However, that doesn’t mean that
someone should be penalised because there aren’t enough jobs to go around.
People can keep saying that those that aren’t working should 'get a job', but if
there’s no work there, how can they? Again, its blaming the people at the bottom
for the folly of those at the top.
How do we
affect change individually?
There are a
number of options. The
freeman on the land movement is one which is gaining
notoriety, and does show a lot of promise. Opting out of acts of parliament, if
enough people do it, how can they contest it? We are governed by consent. What
happens if we remove that consent?
The thing you
have to remember about the acts and statutes handed down by parliament is that
they are made by crooks to protect crooks. So if they’re made by crooks then
surely they can be made to work for us too?
My next
introduction now is to a man who is highlighting this very subject very well
indeed. He goes by the name of Simon Spaniard on Facebook and his Youtube
channel is Whiterabbit. For instance, we’ve all seen the stories in the news
about big names committing tax evasion. Did you know though that there isn’t
actually a law obliging anyone to pay taxes? Mainstream media are making these
people out to be crooks to scare us in to thinking we must pay taxes or get
hauled before the courts and possibly banged up.
This very
subject is covered in a documentary I watched recently called America: Freedom
to Fascism.
Simon is
another who has woken to the fact that we live in a world built on fear of the
system. He’s now showing others how losing that fear and contesting the system
to make sure the legislation in place is being applied correctly. If you’ve not
heard of him, he’s another who will have you raging at just how crooked our
system is.
There are
similar movements in the
get out of debt free campaign. Play the banks at their
own game, using their legislation and bankrupt them. There is also the
make wars history campaign highlighting the fact that under the terrorism act, paying
fines and taxes to a government at war is actually considered a war crime by
the ICC.
If we withhold
our money from these people en masse, again, what can be done about it? Do they
cripple themselves with legal bills? Maybe they just cart us all off to
concentration camps?
This again is
where the individual can do their bit. A decentralised movement can have more
effect, as it gives nothing for the government to aim their water cannons at, or
gain any amount of positive traction to their advantage on, because it would be
a populist, pacifist movement.
Look, we all
know that corruption is rife within the corridors of power across the world.
We’re all angry at the level of complete impunity that these people operate at.
How do we put an end to it?
Easily. We are
the system. As long as we all allow the system to continue then it will. It
can’t work without us. What if everyone stocked up so that they could take a
month or so off work? What if everyone, in unison, just said, ‘Enough is enough!
We want better!’, and then downed tools until we got it? What if we withheld
our taxes? What if we shopped locally, grew our own fruit and veg, traded for
real goods and services with each other?
All of these
things and far more are possible right now.
What is needed
is the courage of conviction to see it through. What is needed is to not let
the mentality of, ‘well, if I don’t do it, someone else will!’, to stop us from
doing what we all know is necessary.
There is, without a shadow of a doubt, a bright future ahead of us, if the best, boldest
and brightest of us become the change we want to see in the world. The internet
is that light. It has all of the combined knowledge of the world - and that
knowledge is power in the right hands.
However, that
light is being targeted with ill intention by the very corporations who wish to
allow their folly to continue. The proposed
TTAP and TTP would censor the
internet and not allow anything that would affect a company’s interests to be
criticised in any way. They will effectively end up writing our laws, our
history, and our future, to their advantage, unless we all act now as one.
They are the
1%! We are the 99%. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out the odds.
To the police
and armed forces of this and any other countries, I say, look to the people you’re
facing in the streets. These people are not your enemies. They are your
brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. I’ve worked with
all of you at one point or another, and I know the vast majority of you are
decent people who actually want to do the right thing. So do it! Right and
wrong is not a matter of legalese. Right and wrong is a matter of morality and
should be acted upon accordingly.
Your friends
and family are dying in their droves because there is no justice in the system.
The needs of
the many outweigh the needs of the few.
