“To be truly radical is to make hope
possible, rather than despair convincing.”
Raymond Williams
An old story well known to a few has been brought a new life
for many with revelations of the rich stashing their wealth in tax havens that
cost the rest of us trillions in their unpaid denial of social bills and
national responsibilities. A whistle blower-leaked tale about a Panamanian firm
handling accounts for some of the global rich cheats and scammers is being carefully
screened by mind managers and consciousness controllers before revealing names,
but ultimately the public will be better informed about still another way that
the rich rule by their profit and the rest pay for it through our loss.
Initial names dropped in the western, especially american,
media repeat Putin and Assad as often as possible, in keeping with propaganda
campaigns of demonization that
will not stop until the balance of global power has changed for the good of
humanity and ended for the very rich these revelations may help finally defeat.
It seems that Putin’s daughter had a wedding in a hotel owned by someone whose
name appears among those so far revealed, not surprising given that Russia is a
capitalist country and numbers a minority of extremely rich people among its
population. And wonder of wonders, Putin may even know and deal with some of
them. Imagine. Nothing like that could be true in the USA. If we keep our heads
stuffed in a part of our anatomy that never sees the sun.
Actually, many American politicians are rich even before elected,
and many who aren’t become so shortly after. And ex presidents, and their
wives, often become multi millionaires upon leaving office. This should not be
a late breaking bulletin to our citizenry but given the status of our education
and information dispensing institutions it may be. Nevertheless, with selected
releases and even attempted censorship this enormous cache of elitist cash
swindling info may ultimately drop some American names. Maybe.
It is important to know that our richest thieves and legal
book jugglers really don’t need offshore tax havens since there are many right
here in the USA, with Delaware and Nevada long offering comfortable places to incorporate
firms without giving any names as to who actually owns them and thus protect
identities and avoid responsibility. The issue of money remaining free from tax
collection and being laundered so as to clean it from the criminal ways it is
often procured by organized crime, corporadoes or politicians, are really very
old stories which may not have originated here but have a long history of
practice in the good old marketplace culture of the USA.
Still, and despite this silly Putin-Assad stress that not
only leaves Americans unmentioned but also seems not to notice quite a few
Israeli firms and stockholders among the wealthy welfare chiselers – imagine
that! - there is much that may be revealed to people for the first time,
teaching them more about how they are robbed by the oligarchs in their
societies. This, at a time when Americans and Europeans are under great stress
having had government services and public spending viciously slashed in favor
of private profits for that class of global royalty, may even help produce a bigger
vote among the already great outpouring of disgust for established power
through new parties in europe and for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump here in
the almost endless American primary race. Sanders and Trump hardly speak the
same language but attract some of the same people totally disgusted with the
establishment parties they belong to but whose politics they hardly represent.
While the mass of information collected by what seems a
major financed media funded source has led to healthy speculation, it has also
caused much of the suspicion fueled by establishment lies that finds anything
and everything that happens that seems to be even slightly anti-establishment
to be a plot, conspiracy or twisted scheme organized by that very
establishment. Or nearly mystical manifestations of power attached to often
biblical codes, racial theories born of those codes, or simple beliefs that
only a chosen few can possibly understand anything and the other billions of us
are too dumb to fathom anything beyond the Super Bowl, the World Cup or Downton
Abbey.
Just as many if not most american voters are brain
bludgeoned into the crack pot realism ordering them to vote for lesser evils
since nothing good can ever come from voting, the despair of ugliness at the
core of so much of perceived reality can reduce once hopeful people to give up
and accept less than half a loaf or no loaf at all.
But the growing reaction of anger at things as they are and
desire to transform reality to something much better may ultimately bring even
some of the most despairing to see a light at the end of humanity’s tunnel. We
should expect that every step forward, including this small one towards
revelation of another way in which the rich minority takes advantage of the
majority, will be seen as just another ploy by “them” to further induce
ignorance and despair such as the wise ones are all too aware of, and continue
us on the path to failure. Truly, some of this could almost make the Pope
succumb to cynicism, but his inherent hope and faith based on spiritual
yearning balanced with material intelligence is very much like what is going on
in the world among growing numbers of human beings of different nations and
cultures.
Facing a near total breakdown of political economics and the
environment that sustains us all, many are saying: enough, we can’t go on this
way and must have radical change or the human race, let alone our various
nations, will face disaster. Whoever the original revealers were and whatever
provoked them, ultimately it is humanity which will be served by what is
revealed, however established authority will try to suppress that information,
and its gullible handmaidens in communities of perpetual doubt will innocently
help by spreading their message of hopelessness and despair.
We live in a time of no secrets, anytime, anywhere. While it
can seem that only means gossip, trivia and propaganda, at least to some, the
rest of us are learning that there will be no place to hide for anyone on earth
if we allow our world to succumb to the ravages of it and its inhabitants being
treated like nothing more than a “branded” commodity for sale at a market. We
also know that those most responsible for bringing us to this point have to be
removed from power and replaced by democracy. Echoing the opening quote, it is
time for the truly radical to so convince those remaining in despair.
That is our only hope, and it should be no secret anymore.

Bottomline, this world is ran by crooks, theives and robbers. It's the only leveling field out there. If you want to be in leadership, you have to be one. They are like crabs in a barrel, they can't trust each other, because they know they can't be trusted.
So today it's tax havens, yesterday it was smuggled oil, last week it was smuggled drugs, child trafficking, pedophilia and robber barons known as banksters. All in all corruption is pervasive and nobody really cares to get all hyped anymore, it's just plain common knowledge. It's truly a sad state of affairs when the riches of the wealthy mean more than the struggles of the many. This system, this country, this world is on the verge of a major implosion. The gloves are off, and folks are exposing each other's criminality. Funny how they don't see it exposes them as well.
Thanks for the great article, Frank. Hope you don't mind if I re-post it!!
