More and more I observe the modern world around me the more and more I am coming to the conclusion that we are not being told whole range of things happening in our world from part of the truth to blatant lies by governments down to individuals with an axe to grind.
In some cases we such expect it as most governments and politicians have been tell us lies for centuries so come part of the course to work out what the truth is behind their statements and we all know why they do it. Just nowadays they do put more spin which rather than hides what they are doing make it even more obvious to those people like myself who have their eyes open to what they are doing.
But now in our modern world it is not only governments who bend the truth even lie any more but those people with real issues about what is happening in the world and claim they are bringing the truth to the public attention have started to do the same trick as governments.
I suspect this is under the sad delusion such distortions of the truth to lies will grab peoples attention so they think the end justifies the means. But especially with people like myself it devalues their arguments to a point I now do not believe what they say any more or if I do I take it with a very big pinch of salt now. Rather than promoting their causes it now sets them back and they have lost their creditability.
Sadly such groups include the concerned with global warming who have told so many halve truths, blatant misinformation and disproved scientific theories I for one now simply do not believe them any more as their credibility with myself has gone.
Then we get to the biggest liars and tellers of half truths the big Corporations world wide who openly lie, spread misinformation and spread blatant propaganda all in the name of business and making money. Those within these corporation actually think what they are doing is right and proper because it promotes their businesses regardless of the fact in normal every interactions between people such behaviour is simply not acceptable.
But we see it every day from such corporations from small halve truths about products which simply to not work and never proved scientifically to the big and the lies and scare stories which included the Millennium Bug to Microsoft xp computers being suddenly attacked when Microsoft withdrew support for it, something which never happened much like the Millennium bug.
In conclusion my observations of the various governments, corporations, campaigning groups to individuals with drum to beat is that a large majority of them now think is perfectly acceptable to either bend the truth to lie as long as the end justifies the means. But they all have missed the fact once caught lying or bending the truth it devalues them and their causes which will eventually destroy what they are trying to achieve.
All this seams a very grim and cynical view of the world on my part but after so many years of life of accepting such behaviour from governments, corporations and campaigning groups, I have finally got fed up of being lied to and being treated like a fool by these people and groups!

The Virus Called Western Capitalism!
Posted: 19 December, 2017 in Comment, Life, Western WorldWhat is becoming very clear in the West is that what we call Capitalism is far from a real Capitalism which serves society as a whole but a virus which serves a few at the expense of the many and they very society it reports to serve and benefit.
Western Capitalism is creating an unsustainable system which discourages innovation and individuality all for one purpose only to serve a small elite who have no real connection to the society they are part of. This an elite who live selfish lives in ivory towers who care little about the people who actually create their wealth.
This whole system is unsustainable as it is producing a Western Society which is stagnating and blighted by inequality far too focused on producing profits for a few. In all the process Western Capitalism does not encourage the creation of new businesses, innovation or even move society forward. If anything it is creating a society which simply serves an elite few, conformity and inward looking.
All this process is helped by an media which encourages people the embrace the system by seeing the empty dream that conforming will give them a dream life which in reality only available to the elite few and they will never be allowed to have. Also the same media makes ensures that people are two divided to notice what is going on by promoting bigotry, inhumanity and fear so the people do not unite and change things.
Western Capitalism has become a toxic virus which is destroying the very thing it needs to survive and heading for a collapse of Western Society which will make the collapse of the old U.S.S.R. look like a picnic in the park.
The saddest part of the whole situation those people who live within Western Capitalism actually close their eyes to what is happening and deny it is happening coming up every excuse not to do anything. The most used excuse is they have a family and love ones to support so cannot rock the boat regardless year upon year things get worse for them.
Western Capitalism is not a true Capitalism which serves all of society, allows innovation, allows all people too make money and moves society forward. But it is insidious form of Capitalism which serves the few, promotes conformity, only allows a few to make money and looks backwards.
As I have said before it is getting more difficult to be part of a system which I know is going wrong without saying something. As it continues it gets more and more difficult for me to justify working each morning as after all why should I work for minimum wage to benefit an elite few?
After all I am in reality getting nothing from Western Capitalism or encouraged to strive for more, if anything the whole thing is making me start to wonder if life really worth the effort in the end!
