Human Nature still on trial

Real causes of global economic crisis still ignored
The Eastern Establishment of economic theories still control the flow of wealth in the world led by Harvard and other Ivy League elistists. They act with a plantation owner mentality. President Obama is no exception. It is actually an economic cult and we do not need any conspiracy theories to know that Free Trade and Globalization has been driven by these elite groupings.
Even the Tea Party movement in America is in denial about the real causes behind the global economic crisis. What is the difference between a "trickle down economy" that comes down from big government or one that comes down from the private sector. With the bail out of the financial community and the Eastern Establisment Economic Elitists, President Obama has married big government to big money.
Nothing is said and very little is reported about the long history of Free Trade and Globalization failures. The duration of failures now have lasted longer than the Great Depression , so called Protectionism and all wars.
It boils down to raw Capitalism that is now mixed with Socialism, Communism and all the other old "isms" of the past. Human Dignity in the workday has been thrashed. A new working poor class has been created in the more prosperous nation and a vast underclass of impoverished workers in other countries.
Hurrican Katrina in New Orleans exposed a vast underclass in the USA living in a silent depression that goes untold. Instead of seeking out answers to the degradation of workers dignity, President Obama chose to push the health care issue which hid the real conditions that exist in the USA and other countries. Our economies based on making money on money instead of making things has burn out. Still, the Eastern Establishment of Economic Theories push for more of the same thing. The elder President Bush called out for a new world order and President Clinton followed and consummated the Bush Free Trade programs. President Bush the second came and hid it all behind his pre-emptive wars. Now President Obama takes over in the betrayal of American workers and workers everywhere with no one in the major media channels challenging the greatest scam of the century - Free Trade- that really has very little to do with world trade as historically practiced and defined. Free Trade is about moving production from place to place for the sake of cheaper and cheaper labor. And every time a factory is moved, it leaves a burn out community behind.
The basic question is this. What serves our human nature the best. Is human nature raw Capitalism and where a upper middle class of people thrive and live off the suffering of the working poor and the underclass. Lech Walesa, who led the Solidarity movement in Poland and who played a large role in the downfall of Communism in Russia, says - I do not know that much about business or economics, but I do know that something is very wrong when ten percent of our populations control 100 percent of the wealth. He says also that the United States has lost its moral leadership skills. Read the Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins and see why and how it all came about in our times. Money became the main end product of our times instead of just a means for making transactions. Wall Street has disengaged with Main Street America. And many miles of main streets in major cities across the United States now look like third world countries as our prison population keeps breaking records.
Philsophy and religion have lost their way in the Global Economic Arena.They have compromised their principles trying to fit the mold of Free Trade and Globalization. And Communism and Socialism are just one step behind raw Capitalism with all mixed together in a Bewildered New World.
