Wealth or status, however, do not provide wisdom, morality, spiritual understanding, scientific knowledge, and so on. In fact, the oligarchic environment in which development is ruled out, is regressive to wisdom, morality, spiritual understanding, and scientific knowledge. It is a degenerative atmosphere that dumbs the mind - an atmosphere of mental poverty and scientific and political apathy that prevents and negates all natural intelligent action - that operates in opposition to the dynamics of life. It is natural, therefore, that the oligarchy's actions involve unspeakable cruelties and stupidities. In most cases, wealth and status provide only power, but not the mental capacity to control it, and surprisingly, even fear. Thus, the great power that has been amassed by the oligarchy, is most often used unwisely, and frequently to its own detriment.
It is used in ways that may seem desirable to the oligarchy in order to protect the empire on which its wealth and power rests, which is structure is fundamentally defective in that it produces nothing that is of any real value. For this reason we see a combination that generates a confrontation of interest. On one side we see an Aristocracy that enacts largely unwise measures with great financial and political powers that are aimed at the preservation of a decaying system that has no strength in itself and is doomed to disintegrate. On the other side we see the natural interests of humanity in global development, including moral, spiritual, and scientific development for a stronger civilization and a richer and more secure life, but which has been heavily suppressed for over five centuries.
In the confrontation of oligarchic power against humanity, the moral, spiritual, and scientific considerations have no place, for these have not been developed within the oligarchic structure itself. Nor will we find within the ideologies of the oligarchy consideration for the fundamental dynamics of life that must reflect themselves in patterns of human economic activities to support physical existence. The oligarchic purposes are inherently founded on moral, scientific, and spiritual poverty, that mark the oligarchic society that has become far removed from the dynamics of life. Thus, oligarchic ideologies are moving in opposition to the dynamics of life and the needs of humanity, which ironically the oligarchy depends on for looting in order to maintain its empty status and power. A parasite that destroys its host is committing suicide. In this sense, the oligarchic system is fundamentally self-destructive, and destructive to whatever it touches - frequently acting with enormous cruelty against its victims and tragically against itself. History has shown that the end product is always chaos, resulting from oligarchic actions which have destroyed nations, cultures, and continents, and are presently threatening humanity as a whole.
The only time that the necessary development of mankind's economic strength becomes a factor in the games of the geopolitical oligarchism, is in such cases when it threatens oligarchic interests, which, then, act disastrously to prevent mankind's development in order to hold back or overturn any possible new Renaissance. Currently, this type of destructive activity is on the rise. One hears noises raised by the powerful political elite of the world, that China should be broken up, or that the United States and Canada should be separated into numerous bio-unique little countries. The very nature of these propositions indicates that the persons who are pursuing these games are not acting for the advance of civilization, but for the advance of its impotence and poverty, thus raising the controllability of the targeted populations.
In total contrast to these interests of world-controlling oligarchs who have no interest in the human dimension of their games, stands the interest of mankind's patriotism, which at some rare times throughout history has raised the people's heads with intelligent self-esteem and in defiance of the oligarchy's games. Typically, a patriots' interest is totally concerned with the human dimension - with freedom, dignity, morality, cultural and social development, with family security and the development of the human potential to uplift civilization. It was this type of interest that sparked the revolution for independence among the British colonies in North America. The patriots had counted their lives worth the fight for independence.
