'It ends in killing innocent children'
People are beginning to realise that the senseless violence that is pervading American society is not an accidental phenomenon or the result of behavioural aberrations in an otherwise healthy society; rather, one-pointed self-centred wilfulness and the violence associated with that behaviour is the rule in America today. Proof in the form of an extra-judicial Presidential 'kill list' testifies to the fact! [With that example would any rational person really be surprised by the increasing number of senseless shootings by unbalanced citizens today?]
I was recently asked for an opinion on a matter involving Australian Corporate retailing giant Wesfarmes and their supermarket chain’s new anti-social policies. The matter has been covered in a recent contribution to this site.
After offering some advice on how to legally and publicly deal with this clearly un-Australian, American modelled Corporate retailer -- late shoppers were disadvantaged due to the removal to cool rooms of necessary perishable food items during trading hours! These new policies, as explained by staff, are cost cutting measures designed to reduce staff penalty-loadings though clearly no consideration was given to the needs of late shoppers -- I then proceeded to explain the forces at work behind the scenes.
From floor inquiries it appears that upper management decided not to pay penalty loadings to workers to remove perishable stock to cool rooms AFTER trading hours, so now late shoppers miss out, tough luck; a very inconsiderate American corporate tactic without any regard for Australian values or a food retailers social responsibility.
Clearly, this type of marketing has been modelled on American style WalMart cost cutting policies; however, these measures are anathema to local cultural values, workers rights and shoppers expectations. Asked where it all ends I replied, corporate driven wars, resource theft, child killing and plunder on a grand scale, which left my associate somewhat shocked and puzzled -- how could removing vegetables end in the mass murder of innocent children and criminal plunder on a grand scale? I simply said look to the mindset or ideology driving the corporate forces and it all becomes extremely clear to the point of accurate social predictions.
Analysis is not a difficult discipline once you learn a few basic rules; the first is never take anything at face value and the second is, find the causative factor that drives the behaviour pattern.
Corporate driven America is a simplistic, violent, open book today. All the wars waged by this corporate controlled State are in the express interests of corporate PROFITS.
Illegal Drone assassinations of those that resist overt military conquest, plunder and slavery and the horrendous death toll of innocent civilians, including the continuing murder of young children have become 'acceptable' to profit-only driven Corporatists. By viewing the social state of America today we see the future for Australia and any other nation that foolishly abandons its traditional cultural values in favour of simplistic, uncivilised, violent, acquisitive, unbridled American greed. So, when I say this ideology leads to the senseless deaths of innocent children it is the result of easily determined and analysed patterns of behaviour and existing trends.
Now let’s try another simple analytical exercise to determine what forces drive America. Consider a new Hollywood production that condones torture and views the 'other,' especially resisters and dissenters, as the enemy.
This movie, touted to be an award winning production, is based on false assertions that torture assisted in the fictitious assassination of CIA asset Osama Bin Laden! Now consider that the Corporate mass media is virtually singular in its world view and reporting of 'news' events, notwithstanding that a body (CFR) has the world's leading media magnates as members -- we are simply connecting the DOTS!
We now ask the question, if America is controlled by singularly driven Corporatists a certain uniformity must exist or a clearly identifiable pattern should be easy to detect.
We know today that the illegal Iraq Invasion -- based on outrageous, proven LIES -- was an unnecessarily violent Oil grab and that other regime changes and assassinations of leaders in North Africa and elsewhere that opposed American expansionism or stood in the way of desired resources and strategic corridors for pipelines and routes to coastal ports etc., met with violet deaths. The Balkans, Libya, Afghanistan and soon Iran all fall into this category, as do many other smaller nations.
The pattern of American news in relation to these nations has consistently been one-sided, myopic and in most instances, peppered with falsities and misinformation, as is the new Hollywood production, 'Zero Dark Thirty'. In other words the entire media apparatus in the USA has been marshalled to serve certain interests and a particular point of view -- and that is NOT coincidence, as the mass media once took an objective and opposing view!
New total surveillance measures of the American population, indefinite detention without charge or trial, kill lists, illegal military invasions and occupations all have a common denominator -- to consolidate and expand the global reach of corporate forces, but at a cost.
When numerous mega-media industries -- entertainment and news -- follow a singular course over a considerable period of time, rest assured it's no accident. Public perception is being managed according to decisions and the requirements of corporations. Rather than conform to legal considerations and proper behaviour it suits ruling criminal elites to maintain the easier and simpler method of criminal acquisition or theft.
Laws are an inconvenience to the rapid 'acquisition' of wealth so in order to justify heinous crimes and appalling actions a need to 'manage' the public’s perception arises, hence the flagrant LIES, media distortions and feeble attempts to justify civilian killing, mass murder and TORTURE have become common fare today.
By consequence, where does abandoning traditional cultural values and MORALS in deference to a singular bottom line consideration lead? To rapid social decline, 'justified' crime, torture, child killing, plunder and mass murder, as has been clearly evident over the past decade and in America TODAY -- very plain to see.
