THE FUTURE OF THE BIG WIDE WORLD
The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority
instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them. For example,
when the British invaded India, many Indians accepted to work for the
British to kill off Indians who resisted their occupation. So in other
words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the
enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate
armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout the Middle
East killing their own people - and people of other nations - for a
paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes anyone a
dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn't entice
people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the
hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will
always be war between brothers.
Yet it makes no difference what the public majority wants anymore - anywhere. It makes no difference that most Americans are opposed to US wars, or if leaders know their people no longer want them. It is no longer about the people. Institutionalized corruption is in full blown effect. When public opinion is always, and bluntly, brushed aside, you have to question who is really running the show -- and for whom? Take note, the interests of those who monopolize and divide world regimes have never been to serve the people.
SIGNS OF CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS
A good leader leads with compassion and love, not fear and blood. A country that harms its people because they are not happy with the leader - is not a country that belongs to the people, but to the leader.
Artists are very sensitive and heart-driven, and are usually prone to speaking freely about anything that touches them. The first way to identify a corrupt society is to study public figures in the entertainment sector. If many lack real talent, or have talent but rarely speak out openly about policies that affect them besides the environment, then that country has rigid gatekeepers. There is nothing that threatens a corrupt system more than a free mind.
Elections are highly-publicized puppet shows. Many puppets in the show are handled by the same owner, and regardless of their different costumes and voices, their agenda is one and the same. The man with the most puppets in the show usually wins the audience.
Typically, in politics, more than one horse is owned and managed by the same team in an election. There's always and extra candidate who will slightly mimic the views of their team's opposing horse, to cancel out that person by stealing their votes just so the main horse can win. Elections are puppet shows. Regardless of their rainbow coats and many smiles, the agenda is one and the same.
A true democratic society is supposed to serve its people, not big businesses. The welfare of its citizens, not corporate pockets. But when you have corporations buying the seats of our political leaders, who do you think they will serve? When political candidates are chosen by the biased media and their owners, not the people - the system is corrupt. If elections have high barriers to entry, the system is corrupt.
A system is corrupt when it is strictly profit-driven, not driven to serve the best interests of its people, but those of multinational corporations. Capitalism is a social system owned by the capitalistic class, a small network of very wealthy and powerful businessmen, who compromise the health and security of the general population for corporate gain. Any system that values profit over human life is a very dangerous one indeed. Simply put, it lacks values. Self-interest does not serve the best interests of the people, and eventually such a system will collapse once its true light is discovered by the masses. Though some say that capitalism is a modern system, corruption has been the source for the demise of every great civilization.
When a plutocracy is disguised as a democracy, the system is beyond corrupt.
When people can get away with crimes just because they are wealthy or have the right connections, the scales are tipped against fairness and equality. The weight of corruption then becomes so heavy that it creates a dent that forces the world to become slanted, so much so — that justice just slips off.
Censorship exists to protect corruption. In some countries, it is usually hidden from the public eye, or made very visible to spread fear. A leader should always be open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who does not tolerate criticism from the public is afraid of their dirty hands being revealed under heavy light. And such a leader is dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness. Only a leader who is free from corruption welcomes scrutiny; for scrutiny allows a good leader to be an even greater leader.
A man who tells you to follow him will turn his followers into his company, while a true leader who does not tell you to follow him, will sit in the company of his followers.
Just because a man is dressed in a clean white robe does not mean his heart and hands are clean. Any man who neglects his conscience is a dangerous animal. Never judge a man by his image. Images can be bought or produced by any Hollywood producer, marketing team or fleet of stylists. Even kids know how to wear amazing costumes for Halloween. Always judge a man by the coloring of his heart and only his heart. Truth can be found in his record of actions, not intentions.
