PRESIDENTS AND OTHER ACTORS
Communication is a complex process that the human brain often finds difficult to achieve with any degree of perfection. As with all human activities simplicity is preferred to complexity since complexity requires more energy expenditure. All living things want to expend the least energy to accomplish a goal.
How often have we heard: “I don’t want to think about that. It’s too hard to understand.”? Unfortunately, if we are unwilling to understand complex problems we will fail to survive.
At the moment, we are failing to understand many complex problems as the numbers of humans have increased and with that increase has come a multiplication of the complexity of human life.
THE FAMILY
Every structure has to have a framework.
A building needs a foundation and pillars which support the walls, windows and doors. A ship needs a hull, keel and a means of propulsion and a means of steering. A society needs a framework of institutions which include a government, an economy, a means of enforcing its laws and an educational system for its citizens.
A society has many other diverse institutions, but those mentioned are fundamental for survival.
The conception of society has its beginnings in the family. A child is born into a family and learns that either its father or mother is the leader or that the parents share leadership.
From this experience the child extrapolates its ideas to the leadership of its society.
MAKING IT SIMPLE
As an adult, the child looks to its government for leadership. Since understanding something complex is unnatural for most people, the new adult tends to think in terms of its family.
In most modern societies, families are led by one parent with advice from the other. Families and societies are cooperative endeavors or they fail. In the Western world, most governments have a man or a woman as a leader.
The people of the West are still mired in the simple pattern found in nature. Western society cannot give up its reliance of thinking in terms of a small family, even though its societies now number in the hundreds of millions.
In Asia, we are seeing the emergence of group leadership, as enormous societies drop the family model as too simplistic and cumbersome for the
administration of hundreds of millions of people.
WE MUST HAVE LEADERS
However, even in Asia, the leaders of the Communist party are revered as paternalistic figures. We see this in China, North Korea, South Korea and even Japan. People cannot break out of their childhood training, and their genetic endowment.
But one man or woman cannot have the intelligence or knowledge to control the enormous complexities of a modern government. That person, although looked upon as the source of decisions by the average person,is, in reality, is ordered to act by hundreds or thousands of
people who control his actions and thereby reap benefit for themselves.
This social situation is analogous to a bee colony where the Queen Bee is controlled and fed by a special group of workers and all others are subservient to the Queen and her advisers.
THE PARTY SYSTEM
In human society, these advisers have come to be known as : “Parties.” A “Party” is a group of individuals who have, over a periods of generations, gained recognition by their society as the source of “Leaders.” Society will accept the people chosen by the Party as potential leaders.
A process of “Election” then proceeds and one of the candidates chosen by the Party is then chosen by society. In reality, all of the candidates are simply “actors” that the Party has examined and found fit to play the role as Leader.
Recently, the American Democratic Party chose an African-American to be the actor president, because they saw that the American population was moving towards a Latin American demographic model, where Whites were no longer relevant or admired by the majority of the population. They were quite accurate in their choice because Obama was elected overwhelmingly.
BENEFITS FOR THE PARTY
Controlling a society with tens of millions of workers offers extreme benefits to those in charge.
Not only are there enormous material benefits, but also social benefits as well. Party leaders and their families have, historically, led such attractive lives, that they have killed contenders for these positions.
The history of Rome is replete with assassinations by contenders for political power. The assassination of Julius Caesar is the most famous and best analyzed by Shakespeare.
The party system has always been controlled by the wealthiest groups in society. In Communist regimes we note that in North Korea the son of the preceding leader was chosen to be the successor leader. This familial type of succession is common across the world.
It is a representation of the family and is found everywhere.
Kings, Queens and their families have not disappeared. Aristocracy is prevalent across the planet.
In the U.S. we note that, in the recent past, the Bush family has had two presidents and one governor in power in a period of twenty years. Apparently, the Republican party that controls this family, felt there were no other contenders that pleased the public as much as the Bush family.
In the Democratic party, the Clinton family, has risen into preference over others.
WHAT MAKES A LEADER?
For a party to choose a contender for the leadership role that contender must have certain qualification.
The first and most important qualification is: Obedience to the Party. No matter how charismatic a candidate might be, if he will not obey the party leadership, not only will he be useless to the party, he may be dangerous to the party.
His second qualification must be that he is attractive to the electorate. An intelligent, competent and obedient leader is useless if the people are not attracted to him.
The third and final prerequisite is the ability to act, to perform on the stage of politics. This means, he must be able to lie with impunity. Many decisions by the Party may be disagreeable and contrary to the well being of the public at large, but the candidate must be able to present them to the public as something desirable and beneficial to society.
This form of acting is seen again and again.
WHO GOVERNS IN THE WORLD TODAY?
There are a variety of parties in the world today, but underlying all of them there is only one common denominator: Economic Control.
Economic Control means Money to the Party and its Friends. All countries in the world today are vying for control of the greatest share of the world’s markets. Market Share can be translated into Standard of Living.
The West which still has the highest standard of living is losing that living standard to Asia.
China, the leading country of Asia is rapidly gaining control of the assets of the West, and with them, elevating its own standard of living as that of the West is lowered.
The Political Parties of the West are well aware of this problem since they contributed to it.
The Western political parties are controlled by global transnational corporations which are in turn controlled by families whose fortunes reside in New York, London and Tel Aviv.
The actors who are now playing the roles of leaders in the U.S., the U.K. and Europe all have a similar role: Keep the Trans-national corporations
in power and keep the Middle Eastern war going.
THIS STRUCTURE WILL NOT CHANGE
Since society is conditioned to accepting such leadership, it is unlikely that the it will change direction. What we have seen in the last two decades, is that spiral is downward for the West.
ACTOR PRESIDENTS ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH GROUP-STYLE GOVERNMENTS
Because the dynamics of the world have changed so dramatically, and the complexities of the forces have increased exponentially, no one person can even come close to possivbly understanding all the ramifications, of their government’s actions.
The Actor-Presidents and Actor-Prime Ministers should all be replaced by committees of specialists.
Instead of the ‘Representative Form of Government’ all people should vote, using the Internet, thereby giving the Government the total input of the entire population.
Mistakes will be made, but, if voting is constant, any error can quickly be rectified.
The “Actor-President” model is totally anachronistic and either will be replaced voluntarily by society, or it will be the source of a major human disaster.
