Our oligarchs and their puppet politicians are telling us that the only way out of the ‘predicament’ that they have put us in, (where they have multiplied their personal wealth and multiplied the poverty of the masses as a natural balance) is to treat us as ‘straw dogs’, to tighten our belts, work harder and create more wealth for them to the cost of our peace, happiness and the environment.

Lao Tsu wrote “the space between heaven and earth is like a bellows, the shape changes but not the form. The more it moves, the more it yields.”

When they talk about wealth creation, they are not talking about the wealth of a balanced environment, good physical, emotional and mental health, compassion, empathy, the arts and good education. These are being asset stripped to fill their coffers until it all breaks.

The investment should be on the right kind of wealth where everyone benefits, good business has to be win/win. It should be in producing less, products that last and can be repaired, less packaging, poisons and AI that works to achieve less pressure on people and their environment and to share wealth building a sustainable community.

If not, we will all get to understand the true meaning of karma, it’s not about human justice but natural balance. We are not destroying the world, but our own environment and the earth will restore its own balance by wiping out the plague of humanity.

Intelligent revolution is careful, planned and non violent, violent, unintelligent revolution is born when the masses have been pushed to the point that death is preferable to continuing on under the existing regime.

Have we learned nothing and failed to heed the teachings of the ancient prophets?
