The Capital is God in today’s world: People are out – money is in
It appears that the world has been turned upside down and a serious misunderstanding has ensued. What do we work for? For a living? Right? Oh no, no more! We work to increase the Capital. The Capital is God in this upside-down world view. We work to give the gamblers and the usurpers the means to play with stocks and currencies at the world’s money markets.



In the cold world of today people are not seen as human beings with individual rights, they are mere cogs in the wheels of the gigantic machinery that keeps the stock market going. Speculation and the amassing of obscene fortunes have become the order of the day. Reward for work well done is of no importance to the brain-dead and soulless men and women who run the wars and control the money flow in today’s derailed world. And, above all, wars are essential to sustain the state of the world that is called Pax Americana.

. . .

It is not work that gets rewarded today. It’s cunning and gambling and callousness. The less you care for people’s wellbeing, the better your chance to make a billion. The better you manage to close your eyes to the needs of the people who do the work, the faster can you make your own buck. People are out – money is in.



Money is in the driver’s seat, money and all the things it stands for. We the people who do the work are left by the wayside to take care of ourselves as best we can. Assuming that we are even given the slightest chance to survive. There are many places in the world where an individual’s life is worth exactly nothing. And while the people are being wilfully ignored, the hypocrites in power are singing hallelujah to the tune of family values and God’s will is being done.

The essay is a bit long but is a very good read
