The business of service
By Johnny D. Symon
I began to write an ed two weeks back, then found myself getting whisked off to other parts. Hastily I published an old archive then headed out to do life's business. Two weeks, in 21st century terms, is a long and busy duration, everything seems to happen at once; troubles in Prankistan, Turkey/Kurdistan, Philippines, and all the usual consortium of menace in and around the Middle East, and with all this and much, much more happening around good old planet earth over the past fortnight, any writer worth his salt would not dare to claim that he or she suffered from writers block. My two weeks of absence on the scribbling front was simply due to the force of life's business, but truth be told, I'd also grown tired of the world and it's troubles, I was therefore glad to give it all a break ... just a short break mind you, because I follow the guidance of a Welshman named Dylan Thomas who said;
You see, most of life's troubles, with the exception of earthquakes and other freaks of nature, result from the machinations of world leaders. I firmly believe that no leader of a progressive Western nation will find any tangible excuse for having a large proportion of his people on and below the poverty line. Poverty in the 21st century is a man-made, or man-preserved, condition. Throughout leading Western nations there's no end of resources and wealth. Unemployment should be a thing of the past.
About a year ago I conversed with a Spanish friend of mine who also happens to be my gun tech, he serves the weapon needs of the Guardia Civil, the National and Local Police, and even finds time to service and repair items for the Spanish Military. He's a keen and active Rotary Club member, and yet he finds great difficulty in understanding the nature of people and society at close quarters. He's a Liberal of Liberals, and a staunch supporter of the present Loon Regime heading the New Spanish Banana Republic, which means that he also supports the concept behind the past three and a half years of illegal immigration. He said that illegal immigrants are only doing jobs that the Spanish don't want to do, but the problem with his argument was that there are many Spanish unemployed, that are ill equipped or unfit to do any other job of work than the most menial. As illegal immigrants work the fields and construction sites of Spain, and pay no tax, the average Spanish taxpayer foots the bill for the Spanish unemployed.
Politicians of the 21st century are gathering together from Left, Right and Center, to form their Global Concept. And within this piecemeal plan exists an important driving force named Multiculturalism. And all of this jive stuff serves as major evidence that, if used in a court of law anywhere in the progressive Western world, would convict national leaders of neglecting the needs of their own people.
As the dollar is trodden under foot by the euro, which is at an all time high, one would logically conclude that cheaper American goods would be flooding the supermarkets of Europe, but this is not the case. Basic foodstuff prices throughout Europe have, over the past year, been heading for the stratosphere, and Spain is the worst example. Things have gone from bad to worse, where even the Liberal media are screaming about it. High price fever, Spanish style, is a new concept, because ever since any Spaniard can remember, basic items such as eggs, milk, bread, chicken and pulse, have been easily affordable, and there's no reason for the situation to change other than by the hidden works of Global-minded corrupt politicos. As they cast billions of dollars of hard-earned taxpayers cash to other foreign parts, they forget, in their fervor, to remember that their sole mandated responsibility lies in the business of serving their own people, and not in serving the world.
If there's any truth behind the so-called greenhouse gas thing, it's solely caused, therefore, from friction as a result of politicians' hot mouths and hot crossed palms. During the past two weeks I spent some time considering what I would do to reverse the rot, and being little more than a non-political, non-global troglodyte guy, I could only find one simple solution, and that is to try Western political leaders in a court of law with the above evidence, with a view to charging them with National Neglect. I balanced all the evidence before my knowledge of each and every major Western nation, then reached the final conclusion that none of them could be proven innocent of the charges involved.
A politician's sense of World/Global awareness, when put into action, leads to government debt, higher taxes, rising costs, inflation, high crime, unemployment and poverty. By poverty I not only mean in the financial sense, but in a spiritual one also.
I admit that there's that rare occasion when a politico actually does the right thing. Recently French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, shamed the Spanish government by jumping on a plane twice in several days to negotiate the release of several Spanish aid workers in Chad, and if this wasn't shame enough, the Spanish Loon Regime fell hook, line and sinker into a perfectly laid trap by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. He openly accused ex-President, José Maria Aznar, and Spanish businesses of involvement in the attempted coup in 2002. I said this was a perfectly laid trap because for some time I've detected a mood in and around Venezuela that led me to believe that Spanish businesses were on shaky ground in that region. It would appear that Chavez intends to appoint a Portuguese company a distributors license for Venezuelan fossil fuels in Europe.
Energy has become a major weapon in the politician's arsenal, and the 21st century world is busier than ever. Russia and India plan to send a laboratory to the moon, while China has it's own craft already in orbit. Now I don't have to tell you guys how far a distance the moon is from dear old planet earth, but one thing is certain, it's a far greater distance away than Europe is from the United States, which brings me back around to the high euro and the near worthless dollar:
America is well on it's way to becoming another banana republic; worthless currency, huge debt, yet unable to sell it's wares in foreign parts. We all know that labels entitled "made in America" are as rare as hen's teeth nowadays, but with a near worthless dollar all Europeans should be finding fresh produce in their local supermarkets with that statement, and if they knew what would happen if US produce hit Europe in decent quantities, they'd be more than happy to buy it up because the price of raw foodstuff would drop like a stone in Europe. But it's all about false harmony, of peoples, religions, cultures and prices in 21st century planet earth. World politicos cry out against the starving in Africa, while promoting natural foodstuffs as alternative gasoline, and while the poor get poorer and prices get higher throughout Europe on basic foodstuffs, EU politicos will still be found blocking the importation of American grain, fruit and vegetables.
But it's not only American produce and labels marked "made in America" that have become thin on the ground, old style American people, products of old style parents, are 21st century rarities. World Communism is a reality that people like myself reject, while finding our own erstwhile Conservative leaders embracing it with the fervor of a Stalin or Marx. We love and respect our nation and it's peoples, while they cherish the thought of a One World Government. In fact I regard myself as not only a rarity in the present scheme of things, I suspect that my type are on the way out. We know what freedom meant, together with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We know what true Conservatism means, and the reality behind the old battle cry, "Liberty, Property and no stamps." But the majority have become ignorant of that which we hold so dear, the tender trap of World Communism is for them far more compelling.
As I mentioned at the start of this week's ed, I had two weeks to mull over the world and it's problems ... man-made problems ... and somehow I felt detached from it all, sure we all have a part to play in it, but my own part held no real significance because my part, rare as it is, runs parallel to but plays no part in the ongoing folly. Albert Camus once summed up my present feelings with the following ...
