Humanity needs an intervention

by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News Nov. 24, 2006

I am discouraged at times by the inflexibility of the vast majority of people I speak with, right, left or indifferent, over the issue of who is really in charge of our nation,
of what is driving world events in general. Everyone has candidates, but no-one can comprehensively defend their choice on the basis of available facts. I am sympathetic with their plight.
My position on the subject offers no solace, much less any sense of certainty or resolution on the question, and therefore seems to offer no hope for restorative change. I am perfectly aware of the seeming contrariness of my approach.You see, my analysis of the situation leads me to believe that it is impossible, given our current system, to discern who, if in fact anyone, is actually in charge.

It seems evident to me that all candidates for role of prime mover that we can see, that we hear about in the "news" or are otherwise brought up for discussion as the actual decision makers, are patently not in control of external events. What I see is a crowd of hand puppets that display no evidence of independent action animated by hidden hands that make even less sense.



Rather than appealing to the need to see pattern and order, a need that I experience as much as anyone else does, I am forced to conclude that what we observe is just increasingly incoherent activity with no central aim. I see a world system that is decaying into a self destructive spiral fueled by irrational impulses.This is not to deny that centers of power exist or that they are not growing more concentrated and potent. It is rather to observe that this centralization of power is a result, rather than a cause, of the manic lunacy of our time that masquerades as enlightened self interest.

What we observe as the apparent expression of a will to power and domination is really more akin to the relentless conviction and delusional certainty that one sees in the floridly ill paranoid schizophrenic.

2. dominator culture

Every person is raised to value competition. In social situations it's competition, pulling rank and to dominate. Authoritarians and lessors.. it is the evil sickness of our social conditioning ina culture designed for war and pillage that we live in, that sickness is what drives our culture and it is breaking us and killing this planet. It is madness, we are indeed trapped in our leaders dreams, and cannot connect or relate with each other as unique equals enough to get out of this deep social conditioning that hits us from the minute we are born and drags us down in the end.Unless you are a rich elitist...than some things won't hurt you like it does those other people tearing each other down for a bit of stability and rest from the toils of class-ism imposed from above.
