THERE are many anti-capitalist and anti-Government demonstrations going on all around the world right now.

Sadly the majority of people cannot seem to understand or accept that we have been living in a fanciful totally unrealistic world since about 1960. People appear to believe that it is possible to get a pint out of a half pint glass, and that it is all right to spend money they do not have.

The vast majority of the world’s leaders will not tell their people the truth, mainly because at some time, near or far, they are wanting votes to remain in power, so the lies and deceit continue. People must be told that for most of us, things are going to change for the worse.

The capitalist system is not perfect, and the very rich and the bankers are getting off scot-free; it is wrong and awful, but it is what is happening. Communism did not work, and perhaps the only other policy that might work is the Budhist philosophy, but it would be a hard sell.
