With the national power structure now fixed,
and with everyone within that nation being under direct
control of the oppressor, problems arise within the
structure with regards the seeking of reward by those
below the point of balance. Namely crime. And with the
oppressor effectively forcing them to buckle down and
accept their oppression, with greater force, as he
attempts to beat the peasants into submission, comes
higher levels of resentment from the huddled masses.
Having had the option of simply walking away
from the economy removed, and no genuinely legitimate way
of experiencing an alleviation of the current levels of
poverty being experienced, owing to the anti inflationary
tax measures that would undoubtedly ensue should such
peasants set about clambering their way up the economic
ladder, there are only two options open to the controller
of the structure, in order that they may avoid being
physically ousted from their position as ruler, by way of
riots and, ultimately, revolution. Firstly he can set
about contracting the structure by alleviating the gap
between rich and poor (power and oppression), though in
order to do this those above the point of balance will
experience a rapid decrease in their current standard of
living and namely, the amount of power that they
experience, in its economic sense, as they effectively
have to do nothing more than click their fingers in order
that any assembled peasants come running, and sit like
obedient puppies eager to please their masters, building
them a house, rolling over and taking it up the backside
for a few pounds etc. Secondly, the controller of the
structure may do what he did in the first place in order
to build the structure up in the first instance, thereby
continuing to play the same old tried and tested way of
combating resentment within those they abuse, and set his
people out unto the world, in order to find more innocent
individuals to take the places of the peasants within the
structure, thereby shifting the point of balance allowing
everyone within it a big step up the ladder, at the
expense of the new recruits.
Obviously the first option will only be
utilised as a last resort by the controller, as the
reason why they exercise so much power over those they
come into contact with, is because they enjoy doing so,
just as the rapist enjoys raping his victim. If he was
really bothered about the misery he inflicted upon his
victim, then he simply wouldn't do it. The only time any
abuser will slacken off the amount of power they exercise
over someone will only be on an as and when basis,
whenever the circumstances force it. For example, when
the abused wife packs her bags and leaves, the abusive
husband will come cap in hand, falling to his knees,
swearing blind that he's changed and won't abuse her
anymore, or at least not as much, as he pleads with her
to come back. And again, the only reason they are doing
so is the amount of power they were experiencing is now
gone, and while they may well change for a while, in
order that the dust may settle, it won't be long before
they're up to the same old tricks, only this time flying
under different colours.
Therefore in order to silence the grumblings
of the abused masses, who by now are probably burning
effigies of their leaders in the streets, more members
must be found to partake within the structure, yet again,
in order that the structure may swell its ranks, finding
more people to abuse, therefore allowing a subsequent
jump up the economic ladder for all concerned.
With the same actions being utilised in order
to expand the structure as before, certain
representatives of the controller are used to beat and to
conquer the opponent, be they prey, a neighbouring tribe,
or a neighbouring nation. Such a body of people, namely
the armed forces, set out to dominate whatever grouping
of people they are confronted with, thereby enforcing
certain rules and regulations as set by the oppressor
upon them, this, hopefully from the oppressors point of
view, leads to the inclusion of new people to swell the
numbers already existing within the conquering nations
structure, allowing a shifting of the point of balance
and, as mentioned before, a lessening, if not abolition,
of oppression being experienced by those that had
previously existed within the confines of poverty within
the previous structure. Such actions have therefore
always been looked upon favourably by any nations people
throughout history, owing to the simple fact that now
more people have been brought in to experience oppression,
and consequent poverty, within such a structure, there is
a subsequent lessening of the burden upon their shoulders,
and a corresponding increase in the standard of living
for all, except the new recruits.
Just as such activities have been responsible
for the formation of nations throughout the world,
leading to those nations respective kings and queens,
then so the same examples have been, and still are, being
indulged in by the nations of the world, as they jostle
for position within the global power structure that is
the global economy. With nations setting out and
conquering nations, each seeking to acquire new recruits
within their established structures, thereby leading to a
lessening of oppression being experienced by the members
of any such nation, and subsequent claps and cheers as
they beat their fellow races into submission.
Such actions have been repeated throughout
history, leading to the modern day global economy, within
which we all now live. And with the most economically
powerful nations within such an economy, laying claim to
the global throne, the same activities must be indulged
in by the controllers of such a structure to ensure that
everything is as they wish it to be, and that everyone
within that structure buckles down and accepts their
place. In the instance of the national power structure,
this is achieved via such bodies as the police. Though in
the global structure such bodies come by way of the armed
forces, upholding and enforcing the global structure.
This is seen in examples such as the Gulf war.
With Iraqs invasion of Kuwait and subsequent claim of
ownership, and therefore control, of everything within
that nation, they were in a position to increase their
share of the worlds oil, and henceforth wealth. This
shifted them up the global power structure, or at least
it would have done, if it had not been for the world
knocking at their door, and demanding that they withdraw forthwith.
Such principles invariably result in the world
turning a blind eye whenever such situations occur,
whereby gross acts of indecency are perpetrated by
certain nations leaders against their people. With such
actions only affecting the internal structure of that
nation, and therefore being of no real relevance within
the global structure, aside from the moral aspect, the
leaders of the rest of the worlds nations, what with them
being so great and good, decide to turn a blind eye to
any atrocities occurring within that nation, so long as
they don't start poking around with the global structure,
whereby everyones position would be altered, they can do
practically anything they like.
In examples such as World War Two, we see the
Germans trouncing all over Europe, showing every sign of
taking the continent over, combining it into one single
structure ruled over by the state of Germany. Such a
single state would have been very powerful within the
global structure, which therefore led to the rest of the
world (with great reluctance, it must be said), jumping
on Germanys back, and beating them back down. The fact
that Hitler had a rampant dislike of Jews, was really
neither here nor there, what was most important, at least
from the point of view of the politicians of the world,
was the huge and uncontrolled expansion of the German
power structure, within its placing of the global power
structure. Assuming Hitler had of conquered Europe, the
governments of each country would have been relegated to
the position of local councils, each taking their cues
from the state of Germany, much the same as local
government now takes its cues from Westminster. To the
people within that structure, what matters most is not
whereabouts on the planet their laws are set, but what
those laws are. And in the instance of the United Kingdom,
to the man in the street this would have meant nothing
more than a change of face of their oppressor. Instead of
Westminster stating what people could and couldn't do,
and when they could do it, such actions would have been
forthcoming from Germany.
Clearly the main, if not the only, reason for
the rulers of the United Kingdom objecting to Germanys
expansion into the continent of Europe, was the fact that
ultimately just as they set about telling the people of
the United Kingdom what they could and couldn't do,
Germany would have been telling them what they could and
couldn't do. The fact that he saw fit to kill somewhere
in the region of six million Jews throughout the war,
wasn't really of any interest to the politicians of the
world, and in the global side of things, such actions are
viewed as a pitiful drop in the ocean. Though this doesn't
stop the victorious nations from holding up such
statistics, with cries of "Ooh what a nasty man, it's
a good job we won the war".
Looking around at the global structure the way
it is today, we see the hollowness of such claims. Six
million Jews killed throughout the entire second world
war, falls into insignificance when placed against the
many, many tens of millions of people that are killed
each and every single year (some fifteen million of which
are children), as a direct result of poverty. This being
the exact same global structure that has been effectively
conquered and ruled over by the G7 nations, of which the
United Kingdom is one (along with Canada, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and the United States), who force such
appalling levels of oppression (poverty) upon the global
masses (denial of food, medicine, sanitation etc.), in
order that they may extract such offensive levels of
power (riches), for themselves and their cohorts to
wallow in at their leisure.
