And I think it is the major Corps, Wall St Banks, Oil Cartels who are controlling things mostly
They own the media which is their biggest weapon, and there are all those think tanks which time and money to smear anyone who stands up against their policies.
The truth is the whole system is rotten and to try to work inside it is almost futile, unless we get smarter than we have been.
That is the quandary for millions of people now.
However, with the people finally waking to that fact, that it is the system itself that is the problem, I feel there is hope to begin the changes, even though it will probably take many years and fierce battles along the way.
Max Keiser eg, said this week that now that the people of the World, not just here, have finally figured out why their leaders do not listen to them, and your Ireland reference is a perfect example, France is another one of how the Leaders simply ignore their people now, Greece too, and are uniting across the globe, they need to realize they have a powerful weapon in their hands, which according to him, is their purchasing power. No matter how they can control the Governments and the economic and foreign policies of these countries, they still have to sell their stuff to the people.
Something to think about. Because if THEIR biggest asset, cheap labor in third world countries, then selling the products to first and second world countries, and bringing down the wages in those countries, can be totally undermined, bringing UP the wages in Third World countries, keeping the pay levels in First World countries stable, we can level the playing field, reduce their profits and maybe start getting people into elected office whose main platform becomes to refuse to take Corporate money.
