Something Better

   What is it gonna take for it to be over? A system of exploitation and destruction so that a small percentage of people can prosper well beyond any reasonable means. It is justified through economics and is hardly challenged. People continue to work and be taxed so that this small percentage of people can use military force and economic desperation to exploit the world of all its resources. Crossing the borders of sovereign countries- claiming moral superiority- and killing many innocent human beings. Children, doesn't matter as long as it feeds the monster. As long as we are spreading democracy through utter destruction.
   We elect these monsters and allow them to appoint there buddies to other influential positions. Men like Robert McNamara, who sat as the president of the World Bank and Secretary of Defense under Kennedy and Johnson. First, he has a major role in deciding the creation and use of the biggest loans in all of history and then he decides where we are gonna use our military to fight for "our interest". His interests. Cheney, Bush Sr, George Shultz. These men walk through this revolving door. Institutions as enormous as the World Bank, IMF, and WTO decide economic, military, social, political, and historical realities. These economic systems dictate who get's money and for what. They decide that Bechtel gets to go into a country, get paid to build oil industry infrastructure, and steal that oil from another country for their boardrooms benefit. How backward is that?
    This is insanity. Trying the same thing over and over, expecting the same results. We keep electing these criminals. They keep finding themselves in positions of major influence. Imagine if all that abundant wealth in the world were to go to the world's interest. What is best for the majority of people. Imagine how much suffering could be alleviated. Our government spends more than a trillion dollars a year, just in military costs. That doesn't include all the other throw away or hoarding. People are billionaires! They give huge loans to countries in order to benefit corporations. Imagine if that went to the people. If that money was used to pursue new technologies, better technologies. All the brilliant inventions that haven't been funded or have been suppressed because they don't help the few fill their pockets a little more. The impact of that change in this world would be so powerful. These people have been murdering social change leaders, stealing money, committing horrible atrocities, and rigging elections. They choose 10 people and then let us decide which robot we want to be President. I am not advocating a conspiracy. No, I am merely suggesting that we need some new leadership.  There is too much brilliance in the world for something so crooked. There are a lot of really good people on this planet, we are the large majority.  Let's have a real discussion about change.
