Can we see into the future?

 

Can we see into the future?   

Twenty-two years ago, a few men, mostly from Saudi Arabia, hijacked passenger planes and flew them into big buildings in the USA, including the Pentagon. They showed the world that might, financial and military, are not absolute. The US, which was the only superpower at the time, retaliated by destroying Afghanistan (with our help) Iraq, and some of Syria. The terrorists used box cutters to hurt the Empire, which hurt Arabs back using the most advanced weapons, losing thousands of soldiers and two trillion dollars. If we avoided this whole scenario, then money and people lost could have changed the lives of the people of the US forever. Every resident of the country could have had proper housing, free health care, education, and food. The great country could have helped poor countries and enjoyed friendships all over the world. Two trillion dollars is a lot of money. It was not to be.

Who motivates a country to take action that will lead to big changes in the lives of its people? We may say, obviously the politicians who lead the country. Ask the politicians and they will tell you they are representing the people or public opinion. Who forms public opinion? The leaders make statements and laws, but people see them through the filter of the media.

Canada, for example, subsidizes some media insisting that they will show both sides. Other countries have only privately owned media where one can choose to learn only the side they already support. Consequently, the public divides evenly and people hold each other in contempt.

Russia is one example. When the Ukraine war started, they ordered the media to show only the government’s side. News outlets that didn’t agree with the “special military operation” ended up escaping the country, trying to broadcast from neighboring countries. The people who did that may never be able to visit their homeland again, never mind living there. In America, Julian Assange exposed some of his country’s war crimes in Iraq. The US is seeking to extradite him, which would result in a hundred and seventy years in prison if successful. They will try him on espionage that he didn’t do. He, as a journalist, printed what was handed to him by a whistle-blower.

There is another kind of news media that people don’t credit for what it does. This is what we call the grassroots voice of the people. Little local newspapers or radio stations from small places like here. The big organizations pay attention, trying to gauge public opinion from small communities but get little. The vulnerable little news organizations can be sued, or shunned by political parties that have marketing budgets to promote themselves. Would be nice if provincial and federal governments would allocate funds to keep the little guys in business even if they are honest, but they don’t. We hear announcements about money for little local newspapers but we don’t see any money. Consequently, the little papers restrict themselves to reporting who won a little league game, but we don’t get a lively exchange of ideas. If some residents have political opinions, they send them to bigger papers and magazines, leaving the local media out of the actual news.

Countries are governed by politicians who exist thanks to money invested by rich donors, at times other countries such as China. We can’t prove the case, but we know it’s possible. An Ontario provincial politician has just resigned because of accusations of political interference from outside. The government in power is under pressure to investigate the same kind of accusations. If they give in, we will find out that every government in recent history had some dealings with foreign powers. It will shake our confidence in our political system and reduce our ability to govern ourselves. We may find, for example, evidence that mining companies owned by international investors donated to local politics in our area. What will we do then?

Since the late sixties, we have invested a lot of public money in space wars and nuclear deterrence. Again, that money could have improved the lives of people in America and the now-defunct Soviet Union. Why do we invest our working lives to promote political ideologies?

I studied writings from thousands of years ago. All the people who over generations became famous for their wisdom have one thing in common. It happened in every civilization. The wise people advocated abandoning the race for who will dominate in favor of working together and taking care of each other.

King Thoth, the Egyptian guy with the head of a bird who is credited with building the pyramids in Egypt, produced the Emerald Tablets that guided human civilizations. He lived many thousands of years before Christianity, Abraham, and any existing religions. In his writings, he talks about a future in which humankind loses connection with the spiritual side. The description is much like what we see today. There is much destruction and suffering until God returns to stop the great suffering and restore the earth to its original form. We called it the Garden of Eden.

We wrote the story, we can change it.
