Globalization Is All About Sequestering Resources For The Super Rich. [View all]

I look at globalization as a con game aimed at sequestering resources that are getting scarcer for the benefits of the super rich. If you analyze all the PR and brouhaha celebrating wealth you will notice that these same super rich are gathering and collecting the best of everything for themselves. In the process trying to lock out anyone else.

And what is going on is international and not just something that is happening in the US. Income inequality is growing rapidly all across the planet. By spreading the economy across the globe and exploiting the cheapest labor developed countries must cut wages to compete. One world government starts with capital that can go anywhere and do anything beyond any individual country's ability to control abuses. When capital can trump national sovereignty which it is already doing a country's law are pretty much meaningless.


There was a movie called "No Blade Of Grass" that depicted a "sci fi" scenario where resources collapsed and guarded enclaves developed where life resources were available for just the few lucky ones who had already hoarded the resources needed to survive. The rest of the world inhabitants were locked out of these zones of plenty. Look at all the trends and it should be obvious what is happening.

The disaster of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans is the best recent example. For the most part the super rich and rich had paid for escape routes via contractor to get them out of harms way. People unable to afford extraction were left behind.

What I have just said may very well be over the top. I could very well be wrong on this issue and I hope I am. Then again I wonder.
