People all over the world who want freedom, somehow or the other feel connected to other people who are struggling for freedom.
Time Magazine wrote yesterday:
Israel [can't] count on Egypt's continued cooperation in imposing an economic siege on Gaza ... And none of the region's moderate autocrats can be particularly reassured by the Obama Administration's perceived willingness to wave goodbye to an Egyptian autocrat.
And Agence France-Press reports today:
The International Monetary Fund stands ready to help riot-torn Egypt rebuild its economy, the IMF chief said Tuesday as he warned governments to tackle unemployment and income inequality or risk war.
No wonder former U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski - who openly admitted that he created the Mujahadeen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, who told the Senate that the war on terror is "a mythical historical narrative", and who also told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the U.S. and falsely blamed on Iran to justify war against that nation - warned the elites that:
For the first time in human history almost all of humanity is politically activated, politically conscious and politically interactive. There are only a few pockets of humanity left in the remotest corners of the world that are not politically alert and engaged with the political turmoil and stirrings that are so widespread today around the world.

America needs to face squarely a centrally important new global reality: that the world's population is experiencing a political awakening unprecedented in scope and intensity, with the result that the politics of populism are transforming the politics of power. The need to respond to that massive phenomenon poses to the uniquely sovereign America an historic dilemma: What should be the central definition of America's global role?
[T]he central challenge of our time is posed not by global terrorism, but rather by the intensifying turbulence caused by the phenomenon of global political awakening. That awakening is socially massive and politically radicalizing.
It is no overstatement to assert that now in the 21st century the population of much of the developing world is politically stirring and in many places seething with unrest. It is a population acutely conscious of social injustice to an unprecedented degree, and often resentful of its perceived lack of political dignity. The nearly universal access to radio, television and increasingly the Internet is creating a community of shared perceptions and envy that can be galvanized and channeled by demagogic political or religious passions. These energies transcend sovereign borders and pose a challenge both to existing states as well as to the existing global hierarchy, on top of which America still perches.Watch an excerpt:

That turmoil is the product of the political awakening, the fact that today vast masses of the world are not politically neutered, as they have been throughout history. They have political consciousness.

Politically awakened mankind craves political dignity, which democracy can enhance, but political dignity also encompasses ethnic or national self-determination, religious self-definition, and human and social rights, all in a world now acutely aware of economic, racial and ethnic inequities. The quest for political dignity, especially through national self-determination and social transformation, is part of the pulse of self-assertion by the world's underprivileged

We live in an age in which mankind writ large is becoming politically conscious and politically activated to an unprecedented degree, and it is this condition which is producing a great deal of international turmoil.
That turmoil is the product of the political awakening, the fact that today vast masses of the world are not politically neutered, as they have been throughout history. They have political consciousness.
Americans take inexpensive food and Democracy for granted; they can’t imagine spending 40% of their income (if they had a job) just for food. The problem of food is not because there is not enough food in the world, but speculation on how much people will pay for it. Who benefited from Egypt’s trillions in oil revenues?
ReplyDeleteI think that the desire for Democracy, “government for and by the People”, Freedom and Liberty from oppressors is an innate natural desire of all family oriented human beings and that battle (between Good and Evil) has been going on from the first recordings of history (occidental and oriental) to the present day.
Really, as common humans, we all just want to be equal and share in the same opportunities that are given to others and share fair distribution of Laws and resources that are common to us all.
Who needs a dishonest shyster to lie to us, as they steal from us and our children’s children, as they enslave us to them or kill us? The ageless battle goes on between Good and Evil.
What is honorable and has integrity, is a Democratic government that is fair and honest, whose elected members are sworn into “TRUST”, to act in the People’s wellbeing as their only best interest in servitude to the highest honor privileged to them—Open, Democratic (honest) Public Elected Office.
Government Free from corruption! Corruption is Treason to the People and is the highest crime against Democracy and is punishable by Death. Hell, Treason is the highest crime in Communism and is punishable by Death.
Democracy is the great equalizer, the conduit of humanity to make the universal natural human instinct of Good into a world reality; and why not? In America, we have a Democratic choice between Good and Evil, we need only to make the choice and act to make it right!
Democracy, with self determination and Independence with thought for the wellbeing and the caring for ourselves and the rest of the humans in the world will be the salvation of mankind and for our continuing existence, as specie, as one Free World, into the future. Go Global with Freedom and Democracy!
To exist as human specie into the future, there must be benevolent humans in control, not insensitive Totalitarian despots to enslave us and lock us down as uneducated animals. Totalitarians are ancient Evil and spread corruption and must be brought to Justice as criminals in a modern peaceful society for us all to survive. There is enough room and food in the world, there is just not enough Justice and respect for humanity.
Democracy has something to offer for the continuation of mankind, Totalitarian despots and their regimes have only Tyranny, Slavery and Misery to offer to the common person. Bring the despots to Justice and imprison them, not the People.
