democracy will prevail! ! ! !

Democracy expands. It's purpose is to give everyone freedom of speech and the right to express themselves. We want to save all the parts of the world from the evil and provide them with the tools that allow them to implement democracy to their society. That way everyone can become part of our global economy.

How do we destroy evil from the face of the earth? We support developing nations and their governments. Give them food and good advices. The problem is there is only certain amount of countries we can handle and save at a time. We are wise but we don't have enough resources to save the entire planet at a time. So how do we choose the countries that need our help the most? The countries that absolutely need democracy before anything good can happen there. The countries that are crying for help and salvation.

Our role is god-like and we have to decide who has the right for salvation and who doesn't. We pass sentences without a hesitation. We choose the country that possesses potential. Just like we choose our spouse we choose the country that we are going to save. In our women it's beauty and figures that count. In countries it's natural resources and geopolitics. Some might say that salvation is happening because the country has been oppressed for so long. There are human rights violations etc. In my eyes those reasons are made up so that our global economy can keep on growing.

The idea of saving entire nations is beautiful but the reality is often different. We use goodness as an argue when in fact it's greed that motivates us. The sad thing is we can't see that anymore.

Finland participates in these “salvation” missions by telling that people need our help. We never stop to question why these people need to be rescued. What led to this situation that is so bad that our soldiers need to protect innocent people. The truth is that Finland is afraid of questioning the decisions of the big leaders. That would make us look bad in the eyes of other members of the global network. We became part of this network when our nation became independent in 1917. Or at least that's when everything changed. Why question everything when we are doing so much better than before when we were part of Russia.

Maybe some day it's our turn to be saved from evil. You might think that it's ridiculous. “We are already saved!” We're on the winning team. Are we? What if one day something immensely valuable is found inside our borders? Largest oilfield in the world is probably not under our feet but I have a crazy scenario. Bare with me. One day global drought will sweep across the world. Global warming threatens to turn our planet into one big desert. Nordic countries are one of the last oasis that include vast amounts of fresh water. Our northern location has helped us to close our borders from the immigration from Africa and Southern Europe.

At that point some super power might think that our nation is run by evil president and we need salvation. Now I might go out of line with the next statement but I'll say it anyway. Why were we able to separate from Soviet Union? We were meaningless for them. This piece of land that we stand on wasn't strategically important for Soviet Union anymore. I know that it's a bit exaggerated but I think there is some truth to it.

I think the keyword is meaningless. Finland is quite meaningless for the world and that's a fact. Cuba wasn't meaningless so it got in to trouble in 1960´s when it came a part of USA-SOVIET argue. Kuwait isn't meaningless so it needed salvation from evil. Iraq isn't meaningless so it needed salvation from evil, twice. Chile needed salvation, Europe needed salvation. Venezuela needs salvation. The list could go on.. So why aren't these countries meaningless? They've got something we want. Something that keeps us gods of the world. Oil, minerals, Food... You see good thing about being a god is that you have some natural benefits that others don't posses.

One of the sales arguments when recruiting new nations to our network is the phrase “Look at what we got!”. If this doesn't help they can be lured to heaven by changing governments or giving them a new dictator or by just making them addicted of some of the cool stuff that we have. Usually that leads the changing attitudes with in the society in few decades time. This tactic is usually used only in the cases when our “persuasion” resources are limited or there is no hurry.

So who are the ones that don't need salvation? North Korea. They are just fine. Their people are happy and well on their way to democracy. Zimbabwe doesn't need salvation. They just had an election. That's a good proof that they are a democratic country. No human right violations there. Russia is the model example of Democracy and so is China. They just need a little more money so that they too can join our group of gods but not too much so that they don't come our gods. That wouldn't be nice.

Controlling nations or even entire continents isn't that hard. The same principle works in governing nations. Again the word meaningless comes in to play. Leaders should never waste time on things that are meaningless. Concentrating on the stuff that is important for normal life is the key. Energy, food, water, transportation connections. These are the things that are not meaningless and so these are the things that are needed to control large populations. What I find scary is the that some if not all of these things are privatized little by little. The key elements are given to corporations that operate on a global level. If you give water plants to global business what happens when there comes a global water shortage? The water is sold the anyone who makes the highest bid. It's happening with oil so why wouldn't it happen with water one day.

What happened in Bolivia..
“In 2000 the World Bank, under the belief that “poor governments are often too plagued by local corruption and too ill equipped to run public water systems efficiently. …[and that the use of private corporations] opens the door to needed investment and skilled management“,[2] declared it would not renew a $25 million dollar loan to Bolivia unless it privatized its water services.” -wikipedia-

That led to privatization of all the water supplies in Cochabamba and it meant that the owner had monopoly on all the water in the city. It also led to claim that the government would require a license be obtained for people to collect rainwater from their roofs! So what happened? People protested, a kid died, president changed and the water was returned to the hands of the government. A battle with global economy had been won.

I wonder who gave us to power to play gods and decide who gets to be saved and who is not wroth our grace? If one gets this kind of power should it not be used for good? We say we use it for good but do we really? Too often power corrupts. I'm not a religious guy but I can't help to think of the saying “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”, even if the intension is democracy.

Animal Farm

Part of the appendix from the book Animal Farm

"If one loves democracy, the argument runs, one must crush its enemies by no matter what means. And who are the enemies? It always appears that they are not only those who attack it openly and consciously, but those who 'objectively' endanger it by spreading mistaken doctrines. In other words, defending democracy involves destroying all independence of thought."

"Change, shit. I guess change is good for any of us" (2Pac)

Change happens way too slowly in our societies. Why is that? My guess is that all the innovative people are hired by commercial instances. Important people didn't get to be big bosses because they are smarter than the rest of us. They got to that position by having a vision of the future. The further you can see the bigger boss your going to be.

Imagine if these people were working in parliaments and nonprofitable organizations? I bet they would still have the same ability to see to the future. They would realize that oil is going to run out, nuclear isn't the solution, wars are bad for the country (in most cases), renewable energies are the future etc. and they would do something about it way sooner than "regular" people. Instead now people in charge of our countries are ex-celebrities, miss universe candidates and old sports figures. At least in Finland. (Well not entirely but still...)

How an earth are these people capable of making big decisions when needed when they've spent most of their lives in the gym watching THEIR waists or running around the forest because THEY want to be the best at Nordic skiing.

Change happens slowly because most of us are just like these politicians. Politicians think forward 4 years because of this thing called election. That's their Olympics or beauty competition. They don't care if food runs out in 9 years. Before that they have to be elected two more times and by telling people they have to start acting responsible NOW isn't going to help them get reelected. Selfishness is a bitch.

I'm sorry but our society wont change until we change these people to persons who posses a vision of the future. A vision of future other than firm tits or nice biceps! And the same goes for the citizens!

(I really like the idea of democracy but it's no good if the people don't act accordingly. If Finland is suppose to be the role model of this "movement" then this planet is doomed.)

Democracy by force. Does it exist?

Just started thinking.. How many countries do you know that have implemented democracy successfully to their country because someone told them or forced them to do so..

I can't think of that many. Hongkong(?) and some other countries that Europe used to rule back in the days. So would it be wiser to let these countries that haven't yet 'joined' us to do it by themselves. Slightly helping them in a form of some nice little prices but nothing more.

What happened to our patience. We're thinking everything in quarters (or what ever the stock term is) and if there is no progress something has to be done.

I don't know, I was just thinking.
