Politicians have
again failed citizens in Art of Superstate.
To hear the American president address the Euro Union on how he had been
given a crash course in European politics by those whose names were sticking in
his throat is disheartening.
The G20
meeting maybe also have been the last opportunity to avoid mass defections of
citizens from passively watching to actively engaging with spreading revolutionary
ideas.

The next
step will be not just a wish to change the wrongs of the financial and
political sectors but a will to determine the means.
To-days
movements are not those of frightened, dis-enfranchised, poor or desperate
sections of society, they are young, educated, determined, and most have the
support of their parents.
Distaste of
political elites is spreading. It is triggering a whole rethink about
government, its function, its value and indeed how we manage our world. Centralised
government is now perceived as a seedy club for business interests
The
financial sector is clearly a target for evolution. Its revolution during the
big bang twenty-five years past became an un-controlled monster, rather than a servant
of society. It operates as a power searching animal, feeding on financial greed while
harbouring contempt for social or human morality.
Italy is at
the debt Rubicon, Greece has past the point of no return. It is time to separate financial markets from
politics just as we separated religion and state. Straight talking is
commencing. The intellectual movements appearing on the streets of capitals across
the globe, the social networks and the virtual discussion spaces between those
streets is the genesis of new re- order. In this post-Neo Con world it will be a Hard Winter’s Tale to tell the children.
Let’s hope it can be told in peace.
