What is the solution to many of today's problems?

War is coming. Millions are dying of starvation around the world. Poverty. Lack of education. Lack of decent healthcare. Lack of any hope. It just goes on and on.

Now, the world is supposedly run by intelligent people. They dress in their fine suits. Eat at the table of plenty. Shake hands on TV with fellow international leaders, and thats about all they're good for, most of them. What have they done for you lately? Thats the question you need to be asking yourself.

When I look at the world today, I see what a mess they've made of things. A mess that you and I have to clean up, because you know they won't.

We in the west constantly pound our chest over what a fine democratic system of government we have, but where is the voice of the people? Thats REAL democracy, not this pale excuse of it you see coming from places such as Washington and London.

Democracy is dying. And all the nations that have embraced it are dying right along with it. Suckered into a war that nobody wanted.

The reason is pretty simple. We've sold our national souls to corporate interests. Oil companies. Weapons manufacturers. International bankers, etc. All BIG money.They call the shots now, and they don't care what you say or think about it. They still let you vote, but that will change just as soon as they figure out away to take it away from you. Right now, they still have to play by the rules of government, but they employ small armies of lawyers to rewrite government, one rule at a time. Can't move too fast. Might spook the herd. They will wait until they have you where they want you... before they close the door behind you.

Those of you in other countries where democracy is not the form of government have a different problem. You need to take a hard look at where your leadership gets it's authority to tell you what to do. There is a good chance that they too are under the spell of big money from the corporate world. If your nation has oil. If your nation has another valuble natural resource. If your nation has a strategic location. You are in danger.

The solution to today's many problems?

It's you.

Many of you have been far too silent about the direction things have taken in the world. Its time to put aside our differences in religion, and race, and culture. We have a common enemy to fight. You don't have to take up a weapon. You just have to be loud.

We all need to stand up and be heard, otherwise we're all going to be shot down and buried.

The hour is late. Real late.
