You nailed that - I love the description of International Politics as it stands today. I suppose part of standing firmly for ourselves and in our own territory has to be that we ask: How on earth did we let it get this crazy after we had seen what our parents and grandparents went through? Although, looking back, the germs of what has been manifested were visible in the seventies, (when I first began to look) and a strongly 'Socialist' stance seemed to be the only antidote at that time- both sides of the equation played their part in the toxic broth that has resulted. Both sides appeared to throw their lot in with some mythical 'somebody' that would ultimately carry responsibility for the outcomes of EVERYTHING! Such a bad idea - if there was one such entity it would be God, and everyone decided ages ago that following that advice was 'for the birds'. And as 'ownership' came to represent 'wealth' rather than 'Responsible stewardship' the old arguments between Freedom and Socialism continued - while in the background those who knew exactly what goals they had in mind constructed the matrix that has got most human beings by the 'short-and-curlies' now and for the foreseeable future. Yes the hull of the ship is cracked and we are going to sink - and the only question remaining is "Who is providing themselves with a lifeboat?".
"both sides of the equation played their part in the toxic broth that has resulted. Both sides appeared to throw their lot in with some mythical 'somebody' that would ultimately carry responsibility..!" Yes, it's amazing to me really that people still buy into the 'sides' thing at all, when it's so clear neither side are interested in Joy and Joe Public. I think until humans sense they are Gaian or Earth Beings with a shared fate and a unique planetary role, they are somewhat lost and destructive. Still, on the other hand, each human that does 'wake up' becomes a possibly quieter but more profound agent of change.
Beautifully expressed!
Thanks!
