Global-lies (Part 1)

Global-lies (Part 1)

The last 3 weeks the paper on mechanical dogma exposed our ethically challenged & prejudiced global economic architecture. It opened our minds to question things like globalisation; privatisation; competition; efficient markets; apparent private sector superiority; economic power, etc. It highlighted how ingrained structural corruption disallows the average person from escaping poverty and oppression, by means of a purposefully distorted and rigged system, having no consistent architecture1.

The Brexit example that surprised the world last Friday, should therefore not be a surprise, as it is based upon “global lies”, designed to ensure global citizens remain unable to think for ourselves and question weak leaders. For global lies and deceptions to continue, dictate we continue to take guidance from ill formed & intellectually bankrupt leadership. We have consistently provided insights of non-systemic leadership prevalent across all countries. A practical real-life example of mechanistic thinking, promote business models built to purposefully blind us all. Business models are designed to compel consumerism, co-opting us to play a role in retaining a system designed to make 7-billion humans consume mindlessly, for the sole gain of a minority of dominant organisations across all sectors. For decades globalisation has been pushed, punted, and shoved upon us, as the gospel for socio-economic development, which has now become apparent as being a global lie1. Nations sold-off their assets under the guise of: Efficient private sector management; Government incentives for foreign direct investment under the pretext that without these corporations, Nation States will remain under-developed with low growth. There are thousands of examples across the world whereby politician’s knowingly or unknowingly sold-off important public assets, at wholesale prices, resulting in: Asset ruin; Outflows of capital to tax havens; Creating our current polarisation of the have’s and have-not’s. We discussed a rigged global economic system is not about fighting the powerful person/s and/or corporation/s, since they are merely products of a system that is inherently flawed. Brexit is simply a reminder of how most of us remain unaware that our daily actions, beliefs and mindsets actually continue to play a role in maintaining an unfair system1. Decades of privatisation is now slowly being recognised as one of the greatest white-collar crimes in human history. This simple statement holds much wisdom if we bother to question our leadership across public & private sectors, still convinced in the “the efficient market hypothesis” as central to human development and socio-economic equality. In fact this nonsense is still being taught in our best business schools today. The central question is therefore when do we wake up, when to we take it upon ourselves as individuals, to think for ourselves and ignore mass media, who are driven by revenue, as opposed to truth1,4.
