China is very wealthy, so is America. Farmers in Guangxi have an enormous wealth of produce, they are simply not re-imbursed for it adequately The point of denying wealth and prosperity to the masses is to have control over the masses. It's very sad - in fact the masses do not know from what they have been disinherited - not just a better sofa and a comfortable life it's far more than that - it's to have the inheritance of the World's culture, to develop fully and as an individual and to contribute to humanity. But instead they are relegated to brute surviving minimal surviving and mostly simply not surviving.
In fact the disinheritance of prosperity for the masses is a crime against humanity - and a murderous crime for the millions upon millions in North America die early for lack - lack of safety, lack of adequate environment - for the creation of dangerous environments for the lack of medicine and health care (In all of CanAmerica) etc etc.
The catalog the crimes of the elite would be an enormous undertaking for crimes of repression at home and abroad. . They need to all be put on trial , with the death penalty at stake - it is only fair they should receive what they have given.
Elite ownership of wealth is not capitalism, - we may have had a little capitalism once but it is more likely to understand that we simply inherited a ruling class system from the times of brute force - a ruling class system that with the help of technology is becoming even more absolute than Orwell could have dreamed - without economic freedom political freedom becomes meaningless - but it will go as well.
The Aldous Huxley Lecture from Berkley is still online - it is still useful to listen to today.
Aldous Huxley speaks at Cal Berkeley, 1962
(Transcript and Audio)
I think the full version is on Youtube but i think it is only audio set to slides.
Aldous Huxley - Mind Control Lecture at Berkeley (1 of 3)
He made a good discussion about the use of hard (EG Nazi's, North Korea)and soft (EG Burgeoning-->(CanAmerica, UK), Brave New World) in the maintenance of totalitarian states - I think he said that neither technique suffices entirely.
Intriguing was the statement 40 percent will go along with authority no matter what that authority is.
The new 'Soma' in CanAmerica is psychotropic drugs with now forcible compliance legislation enacted in all of CanAmerica for all those misfits who fail to 'fit in' at various institutions - prisons, schools, workplaces etc, Currently Big Pharma is targeting a modest 30-50 percent of the population.
So sad. people used to have minds and emotions, now they are paxilated, lobotomized.
Remember in
Body snatchers II when Donald Sutherland pointed his finger and sounded the alien alarm.
"Ask not for whom the finger points, it points for thee.'

Politics are controlled simply by ownership of the mass media. The politicians of all parties in CanAmerica are elected (or the choice thereof) in direct proportion to the corporate funding contributions which are used into finance mas media advertising. And the corporations are the economic tools of the elite. So it is a closed system. For all the Wall street protesters and those who sympathize with them and all the G20 protesters there is no representation and any political party whatsoever - in fact there is not political representation for the urgent and direct needs of 95 percent of the population.

But it doesn't matter because the idea of ownership means the masse swill listen to what the owners say, so any voices of truth are meaningless - it has to be on TV and repeated by the voice of Authority to be real.
Is amazing how people let the voices of others into their living rooms , treat the TV channels as the Voice of God, and yet have no idea who it is that is talking to them. Who owns these various TV networks and what business and political interests do these owners represent or are allied to? This is never discussed on the MSM itself.
Who owns the NYT, ABC, NBC,CFTO, Global - almost nobody knows. And for Canuks - who appoints the directors of CBC radio and TV? And form what base do they draw these people?
Your 'trusted news" yet less than .01 percent of the population knows who they
and they never tell you! are even I researching on ownership come up zilch empty-handed many many times.

The tag-line here is ridiculous - the press may be 'free and vibrant' simply because they freely and vibrantly day what their bosses want them to say - if they have differing opinions they end up like Mark - in fact they never get that far. As for the 'people" , the people have no voice and the people don't have any reporters representing them. -
Case in point about the UK is seeing the obvious anti-Israeli and anti-semitic bent of all their news information. You can see it clearly when their programs are bounced back over in the North America. And you can see what happens when something truthful gets in and it is quickly snipped or bent because if goes agaisnt established policy of demonizing Israel. There is no plurality whatsoever.
...
Who is that press working for it makes me wonder certainly they are
'free and vibrant' for
$omeone. I researched to find The Church of England as holding key executive posts on the BBC executive that determines editorial policy. So that has to be the British establishment itself engaged in economic war and firmly in control of the
'thought' of the British Isles.

Is the system open to reform?. Do the people have a voice? Do the people control their leaders?
Can anyone really do anything except catalog the approaching Technological Singularity - the Ultimate Dystopia?
===>
The people who own or can use the media have political control no matter what That's easily demonstrated by the 'democratically' distorted elections in Italy and South America.
Before the internet , you could write a letter to the editor of a news paper which might appear some days or weeks later if they liked it.
Now you can express yourself (as least for a while) in the sunshine of the Internet and be ignored or memory-holed .. so long a you are careful because the CIS and Homeland Security are logging all dissents eve worse than the Stazi ever did because of the amazing power of binary storage.
Yes ,
you especially you who thinks
'why me? I'm nobody' - the CIS had a file of all youse guys even a year before the last G20 in Toronto, better STFU eh?
Too late! once it's in digital it doesn't go away. You probably tripped their software already - you are doomed.

I listened to a story from a guy in Texas - got fired from a mall because he had said on a political forum that he was a commie or something like that. It was a really lunatic forum - surrealistic - no practical sense anyway. Someone knew who he was and told his employer. (Never let RL know your personal Cyber Life it'll kill you- they'll find a way.).
It wasn't even serious because it meant nothing - it was just like kid talk. But the Mall organization said he wasn't covered by constitutional right for free speech you see because they had a special legal contract with all their employees and the state soemhow that meant anyone they thought was a threat or a bad image for them could be terminated. Something like that - or in other words "Blah, blah blah - we own the law we are the law - GTFO and die'
This is what has been happening while all youse are electing your Dems and Repubs and they are putting on Mickey Mouse Theatre for youse - they are fixing the laws behind the scenes with the rich to help the rich own you.
If you want to know more about that catch the DVD "The Corporation" extended version has about 20 hours of documentaries.
