Anyone studying democracy in western countries over the last 20 years must conclude that our elected officials do not write policy, particularly foreign policy. Most of the government takes orders from their corporate donors. What we now call the permanent government, i.e., CIA, NSA, HLS, FBI, and in Australia, ASIO, call all the shots. What is called the five-eyes-network of coordinated spooks, US, UK, NZ, Australia, and Canada, have their clawed hands on the wheel, driving us straight to dystopian hell. Everyone has a boss, and my guess the multinational corporations run the show.
When looking at history, we can see American corporations financing wars. A difficult example to analyze is the financing of the German Nazis sparking WWII. After WWI, Germany was physically and economically devastated. Europe decided to really punish Germany, pushing the country into economic depths. The people were starving. Suddenly, out of nowhere, well dressed men in blue snappy uniforms in new trucks could be seen around Berlin, snatching-up young men. Who were these people, although obviously German, where was the money coming from and what was really happening?
This was the rise of the Nazis, and they were being financed from someone. As it turns out, the main financial donor was Henry Ford of the Ford corporation. $, weapons, and everything required to come to power and start a war. In fact, it was later discovered that Hitler had a portrait of Henry Ford hanging proudly on his wall in his study.
War costs a lot of money, and it can also make a lot of money too. War is a nasty business and corporations have understood the profits of war for years.
At the end of his term, D.W. Eisenhower warned the American public of the Military Industrial Complex, relating his fears of its danger to democracy. The MIC is a combination of the military, intelligence agencies, corporations and currently the legacy media. At the top of this pyramid of power are the multinational corporations.
Based on a capitalist system, corporations compete for profit. The demand for natural resources to make their products is also highly competitive. The fossil fuel industry is the most cutthroat and will do about anything to acquire their core product. Even to the point of murdering millions of innocent lives, based on propaganda, usually a noble ideology like freedom and democracy to gain the resources and their profits.
Yes of course, we all need gas to drive our gasoline vehicles, but at what price?
Ukraine must be the most propagandized war in memory. The economic goal of the US became clear with the sabotage and destruction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline. This destruction would enable Westen countries like the US to gain the monopoly of natural gas to Europe. However, this has backfired because as Russia is rich in this resource, they can sell it to anyone outside the American sphere of influence. This is exactly what has happened.
As said, the lies around Ukraine proxy war with Russia, fueled by Europe and the five-eyes-network of spooks, pushed by the legacy media, that neo-Nazis in the country are mere “Russian propaganda,” is a lie. For sure, not more than 5 years ago, prestigious publications like the NYT warned the public of the influence of the AZOV Battalion and their presence in Ukranian politics. Once the war began, these neo-Nazis became “freedom fighters,’ and western leaders around the planet went along with it. The denial of the Nazi element was prevalent from legacy media hacks. American celebrity’s even placed medals on these creeps.
The cat truly came out of the bag a few weeks ago in the Canadian parliament. The entire cabinet gave a known Ukraine Nazi SS officer a standing ovation for fighting against Russia in WWII. The backlash from the planet went viral, revealing that our Western “leaders” will do anything to please their donors and the corporations behind them.
As one side of my family is Jewish, I find this disgusting and typical of our western puppet leaders. Take orders from their masters, the ones who ensure they are elected to government and remain there.
We do not live in a true democracy, but a reverse type of totalitarianism.
The recent draconian censorship on independent media certainly backs up my point.
At this stage I do not have a solution.
Although something drastic needs to change soon.
