What a lot of people don't understand, and why I rarely vote, is that our political system is rigged in regards to important global geopolitical actions, and the massive wealth gaps we see between western nations and most African (and some SE Asian nations).

A lot of western governments maintain the economic disparities between first, second and third world countries in a very calculated way.

Debt slavery is not only the province of vile human traffickers who use this device to enslave migrant workers until they've paid off an often undisclosed amount for smuggling them into the country.

Large banks, backed by governments habitually loan multi-billions of dollars to 'so-called' third world countries, essentially keeping them on a leash in regards to allowing foreign business interests to buy up lands that show the prospect of rich resources such as gold, diamonds or even silicon (which has become essential for the computing and mobile phone industries).

The problem is created by political regimes and exacerbated by financial institutions whose private loans entrench states into long-term servitude, diverting any stream of income they receive to their creditors – wealthy nations and wealthier private institutions. It is quite literally taking from the poor and giving it to the rich – Robin Hood in reverse.

So why should I care? You might ask... my answer would be where is your compassion? Do you only care about your family and your comfortable existence? Where are your fckn balls to speak out against the criminal appropriation of third-world resources?

I am under no illusions that any amount of me writing about this type of behaviour by governments will make a difference, but if the whole world stood up and said:

NO! We will not accept this behaviour. We will not vote until banks and businesses are held accountable by a strict set of rules based upon a planned strategy to allow, for example, The Congo, to raise their society out of such extreme poverty with their massive deposits of natural resources.

In the same way that war is a business, one in which mainly western economies benefit by selling arms to countries that have a proven track record of instability, then sending in NATO armoured vehicles to show how compassionate and responsible we are as a sensible western civilized society.

Similarly, western banking (sanctioned by the government) plays the same Machiavellian double bluff with their debt slavery. In response to my argument, they would undoubtedly say "We're doing these 3rd world countries a favour to keep them stable and prevent economic collapse."

But here's the kicker... when the third world government isn't able to pay their debts when the banks demand, that's when the Multinational business Jackals descend, buying areas rich in natural resources at a highly competitive rate set by a committee made up of individuals from the companies interested in buying the land and the banks.

The country that owes the billions to the banks has little to no say in this process.

But, if these third-world countries were mining all of their natural resources by their own state government or local businesses, they wouldn't be a slave to the banks at all as they could sell the resources themselves on the open market without a debt-touting western banking middleman making sure that the poverty balance is maintained in our favour.

Anyway, there is so much research out there on the internet about this subject… and yes even books I’ve read in my local library about the mechanism of how governments maintain poverty that I won’t go into much more detail.

I shall leave you with the poem Technologism which includes some more ideas, and facts about how government blind us all to the awful practices of global debt slavery! These people, politicians and high-level business leaders, don't even see what they're doing as wrong, and it is up to us to make them understand!

P.s. please do listen to the poetry performance at the top of this post as it took me many hours to produce/record, and I think the poem is a more powerful piece read-out as I use rhythmic devices to elicit emotion and improve the impact of the poem.

Technologism

Pitiless, unfit for office
sitting sure in judgment.
Sanity Unsure, profanity
as a religion, obscene keratin
not-in-your-wildest-dreams
shit trickling from their lips,
blood spitting from in between
the business bit that bridles,
the glue binding belief in hatred
represented as the light of truth.

Sour embittered polluters -
business leaders a blight
on tomorrow's chance at a better future.
Hailed as progress, they undress
the third world with their eyes
then proceed to rape it blind.
Enron, BAE systems, Santander,
purveyors of poverty and despair.

Whether weapons for despots,
debt sold in lots as a global gamble
economic wrangle for third world resources.
They sell courses for thought factories,
manufacturing Serotonin
for the collective unconscious.
Selling day-glow dreams, of parasitic scenes
and orgies in a predatory pantheon.
Gods made of fleshy treasure
leveraging the value of how you
Can be bought and measured.

Yes please sir, yes please
squeeze the marrow
from my bones
Sell me idealized prizes
bangles and mobile phones.
Crack my moral code wide
fucking hard-core
defile my mind
with more and more
consumerism,
more and more
illusions of a better life.

Sing me lullabies and comfort me
as you twist the knife.
Until I bleed green
and the sheen
of dollars choke out hope
becoming an inevitability,
life a commodity to exploit.
Drones for clones,
and ideas we are conditioned to follow,
lies swallowed like truth
deep in the bedrock,
down to the bone.

All the while we wonder,
we ponder
                     why we feel so alone?

Thanks for reading 🌿
