Mahatma Gandhi came amongst us at a unique time. The world was astounded about his way of fighting for freedom and equality. If he was there today, we would have questioned him a lot, dragged him into today's politics and made sure that he was also only human and corruptible. The times right now are very murky. We would never allow anyone to be always right. Today there is no black and white, there are too many grey areas. Even while he was alive, we created a lot of problems and kept fighting amongst each other. I am glad that he is in a better place today, amongst the stars looking down at what the human race is heading towards......... corporatocracy. Plain and simple.

To start with a quote by Voltaire, "In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other." For that reason, I find it interesting when anyone claims that the so-called private sector or 'business' is separate from the so-called public sector or 'government.' Mostly, I think it is a ploy that allows greedy people to use governmental force to profit.

Let me explain. We all know the businesspeople are greedy and mostly just want money. They are bottom-line thinkers and doers. However, freedom-loving people must respect the freedom of people to exercise their freedom simply for monetary profit. Thus, the endeavors of greedy businesspeople is protected through the ideological promotion of free markets and free society. Government, on the other hand, is claimed to be philanthropic, to be a representative of the general public, and to do what is in the interests of everyone as a whole. As a result, we give government powers that we do not give to non-governmental businesspeople. Unfortunately, government is a tool of business.

Let me try to re-explain it in other words. The businesspeople admit to acting out of greed, but they justify it by claiming that they are non-governmental, meaning they only exercise their freedom without infringing on other people's freedom. The government admits to infringing on other people's freedom, but they justify it by claiming that they are philanthropic and acting in the interest of the people as a whole and in the interest of the people whose freedom they violated.

So that clearly points out the dangerous power of corporatocracy. By pretending that business interests are separate from government, the ruling class is able to get away with both being greedy and infringing on people's freedom.

The solution is not to reject the free market (or, more generally speaking, free society). Instead, we have to realize and convince others that the tyranny is not coming from the masses in the form of populism. The tyranny is plutocracy which is in the form of corporatocracy marked by industrial-complexes; it's greedy businesspeople using government power to get profits.

I would tend to agree with those that say that any government will have and must have a relationship to business and must be involved in the market. But the problem is not non-governmental business, meaning some people choosing to exercise their freedom in a self-serving way. The problem is governmental business which we can call corporatocracy, meaning the use of government power for profit by greedy people, which will happen insofar as there is government in society. The solution is to limit the government's power, especially that power which is most used on behalf of the rich and corrupt. Namely, we need to reduce the amount of government spending.

I fully believe that the only way to eliminate government corruption is to eliminate government because I believe government is inherently corrupt. Moreover, the most effective and complete way to reduce the power of greedy, self-serving businesspeople is to reduce the power of government, a power which the businesspeople profitably use by promoting corruption. With a lack of government power, businesspeople will only be able to exercise their own freedom but not infringe upon the freedom of others.

Slavery is first signaled with specific detectable actions and conditions. The "slavery" refered to here is a new world slavery. It is a condition where individuals willingly subject themselves to the complete control by a corporatocracy. Here, no longer is there a constitutional government of the people. Governance is now understood as an all-powerful state that is revered as a super natural entity by its subjects. The signs of this slavery include: 1. A citizenry who embrace the idea that the government is benevolent and is therefore suitable, through its buearacratic leviathan, as a means of regulating their lives. 2. A citizenry who, out of fear, surrender their rights to the state as a means of self-preservation. 3. Initially in this process, there is a citizenry who primarily engage in "group think" where they abandon their own and other's individual self worth for the well-being of the group. They justify this by abandoning the idea of good and bad adopting the ideology of moral relativism . In the end, the citizen is required to act so as to preserve the health of the state and not the "group" let alone the individual. To understand how this slavery will be installed, listen to Aldous Huxley's speech, The Ultimate Revolution that he gave at Berkeley (google it and listen). The usurpation of the mind is a psychological operation, which incrementally conditions the individual into a state where he embraces his slavery as the best option. All the while, he doesn't even know he is a slave. He will even defend against the assertion that he is not free. As a benefit to the master, the willful submission by this new world slave has been determined to be more effective than forced slavery. It is the tool that is being used on you right now in the USA by a criminal group operating right in front of you. How does one determine if he is a slave or a free person? Ask some simple questions: Do I have to get a government permit to live? To build a house, to get married, to travel, to drive, protest the government (free speech zones), to start a business? Am I so afraid of the boogie man that I am willing to surrender my freedom to the state for security? Allow the government to spy on me, report my family, friends, and neighbors to the "authorities" for breaking draconian laws instituted by global rulers, accept torture as a legitimate means of learning the "truth," or allow the loving government to incarcerate American citizens indefinately for undefined crimes and without legal representation? These and many many more activities are every day occurances in the USA. Are you a slave? Yes!
