Our Oxbridge cabal of millionaires are
singing in tune to the chorus of that fantasy song, “Growth,
Growth, Growth”. We all know it is a fantasy tune, but for some
reason or other, the singing crooks and liars, seem to believe their
own words. Massaging dodgy figures to fit their illusions, and
muttering, “You've never had it so good” from the confines of their pampered fantasy bubble, in a vain attempt to
fool the public, this millionaire cabal live in luxury and denigrate those who suffer poverty at the hands of this system of corruption and greed.
The truth is that the world
economy is still in crisis, the financial Mafia are worried. They see
developing markets shrink and sovereign debt rising, and they start
to sweat at the thought that they might lose their billions of
ill-gotten gains. This would mean another attack on the living
conditions of the already impoverished public, and even they realise
that it would be a dangerous road to walk. In country after country,
people are taking to the streets and doing their damndest to bring
about real change. Riots, protests, occupations are the only road left
open to the general public, as their lords and master, the financial
Mafia, make brutal attempt after brutal attempt to get back their
gambling losses. The next round of “austerity” could be a squeeze
to far. How it turns out is up to us, it is also an opportunity for real change in the way we structure our society.
This, in turn, raises another question:
how will impoverished populations respond to the growing pressures on
their livelihoods? Last summer Turkey, Brazil and Indonesia already
experienced widespread social unrest. Thailand and Ukraine are
currently witnessing massive anti-government protests. Just last
month, Argentina descended into a bout of deadly rioting as policemen
briefly went on strike. The International Labor Organization
recently warned that
a new global recession, by feeding already high rates of poverty and
unemployment, will further contribute to the fraying of the social
fabric.
As Larry Elliot of The
Guardian, just put
it: “all the ingredients are there for social unrest.” It
looks like the world will be in for a rough ride in 2014. Better
fasten your seatbelts — the next phase of the global financial
crisis may be about to get started. Cities
will burn and there
will be blood. It won’t be pretty.
