World Government

Chances are, you oppose world government. After all, world government would provide a centralized structure that would allow those who would abuse such power to focus their attack in one location. Indeed, centralizing power in a world government could produce truly horrendous results when that power is abused. And history has certainly taught us that power will be abused, and that concentrating power only allows for greater abuse and more tragic results.

And so you sit content, knowing that there is no world government (yet) and although people have talked about it here and there, it most definitely seems a long way off - something to worry about a few decades from now, or even further in the future.

However, I propose that a world government is already in place. This is not a democracy, a republic, a monarchy, reptilian overlords, or even a plutocracy. The world government that is currently in place is best described as a corporatocracy (or corpocracy). And this is not a conspiracy theory. It is well documented by one of their own, John Perkins, in his book Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

Multinational corporations and banks have far more power today than governments (indeed, they control some of them). Governments have lost control of their reigns, and the corporations are running free. Their lobbyists exert more influence over the politicians than do the voters, so even democracy is trumped. And when there is danger that some of the largest of these will fail, governments scramble to globally hand over £trillions to stop their demise. They have worked for decades to put themselves in positions of power so that governments depend on them, meaning they can stop government imposed restrictions they dislike, and pressure governments into passing laws that benefit them.

Have you noticed that as people in the world generally seem to want to go to the left politically, much of the world is being steered to the right. Even left-wing politicians are abandoning their positions and becoming right-wing. So who is steering the world this way? Certainly not the voters. What other answer can we give than those who have most to gain from it: the multinational corporations and banks!

Just to spell it out: This is a bad thing. The Corporatocracy has repeatedly demonstrated that it is predatory in nature, and will prey on the poor, the helpless, and the uneducated. And when it comes to their methods, we're all uneducated (or probably innocent). They murder activists, they starve populations, they ferment wars, they steal water, they destroy the planet. They must be stopped!
