That this stage has not yet been reached is evident by the great chorus of voices that cry out in despair from a deep lying conviction that the world is too small for its many people, that mankind is destroying the land, raping the soil, killing the environment, depleting its resources - that mankind is a cancer on the planet, defeating its host. While the orchestrated pessimism that results from this mythology is partly based on absolute lies and is partly supported by conditions resulting from imposed poverty, the pessimism is real. It has been driven deeply into the fabric of society where it is causing great damage. The irrationalism has penetrated so deeply into the innermost perception of society that it is now deemed desirable to allow conditions to unfold by which vast masses of people willingly have their life destroyed for the sake of maintaining a dying financial system that by its very nature cannot be saved, or to save the earth and its environment, which in real terms are not in danger.
It is a tragic irony that people are sacrificing their life to preserve a worn out ideology that has disabled their social safety nets, that has halted the advanced development of food resources, that has shut down the development of new energy resources, that shuns economic development as something worse than the plaque, that actively impedes nuclear power development on which the society's very future depends. One even find this irony reflected in the astonishing willingness of people to allow the so-called "market forces" to shut down the most advanced biological research efforts at the very time that diseases are becoming drug resistant and evermore deadly strains emerge on the horizon. One sees processes being hailed today, labeled as progress, by which the society's once proud industrial infrastructures are being collapsed, which necessarily also collapses the physical support platform for its very existence.
The Ukraine, for instance, is being most cruelly destroyed in this manner, for the second time this century. The first hit came under Stalin who destroyed the nation's farmers with starvation. Today, the Ukraine is being destroyed by the IMF. The Ukraine brought to the table a labor force with the highest level of education in the world. 974 of every 1000 workers has finished high school. After being liberated from communism, the nation's machine industry output declined by 90%. Its GDP dropped to a lower level than that of Germany in the wake of the destruction of World War II. 98% of the population now earn less the $50 a month, of which 70% earn less than $25 a month.*(Executive Intelligence Review magazine, Washington DC, March 14, p.20)
This is the engineered fate of a nation that had once produced the leading technologies of the communist world. The entire is being put on the scrap heap under the demands of the dying world financial system that has brought utter poverty to one of the richest regions on the planet.
All this reflects the fundamental reality which stands out in every case, namely, that when the human being is not put on the top of the heap, in value, the world is run upside down and civilization is doomed to collapse in failure and anarchy with death looming on the horizon. The question is: Why should this be tolerated if there is no fundamental need for it?
Indeed, there is no need for any form of self-deprivation. In the scientific sense, humanity is one. No person lives an isolated existence. The health of society determines the status of individual well-being. The state of this 'health,' in turn, is effected by ideological factors that translate themselves into public policies which shape the physical platform that supports human life. In order to counter the systems which act against mankind's physical foundation for existence, one needs to understand how the destructive forces operate. One needs understand the games of war that are played, games that erode the economies, degrade culture, and terminate (murder) human existence at will. One needs to understand the often deliberately created false assumptions involved in these games, and how it is that these assumptions lead to chaos. And more importantly, one needs to be able to recognize the patterns of these games of war against humanity, wherever they are imposed in practice. Only, then, can society free itself from the choke hold the "Heart of Darkness" has on it and begin to deal effectively with its impositions.
