TPP: the terminal illness of a much greater cause

It is clear to some but not enough that the government has been hijacked by corporate bureaucrats and that it cannot be trusted. We can trust it to be what it is, an organization whose control is bought by corporate profits and it stands as a facade to freedom and equality to give the illusion of safety and security.

I'm not sure people understand, they just want to get this out of the way or get the TPP out of the way, and then it will be 'OK'. It is not just the TPP, this is one domino in a greater stream of accumulations that have led us to this noose tightening event.

If we stop the TPP and yet fail to get the problem at the root, it will come up again in another fashion. The entire structure of our lives have to change for the change we really want to happen to take place. This change includes a new structure of ownership and leadership, a new way of thinking about what we do on a day to day basis.

The TPP is just a symptom of the greater cause of an ignorant public that don't have the capacity as yet to take responsibility for themselves and their government, too dependent on leadership and authority to do what is best for all. In a future where things do work, we the people have to be involved in every step of governing and leadership to ensure corruption does not take hold. Power and responsibility, if too concentrated in one factor gives too much potential for corruption.

Money is not the evil but our over-dependence upon it as a trade commodity has caused the control of society to be seamless.

So forget your dream of becoming a rockstar or pursuing an individual business venture in order to 'strike it lucky' and then 'retire early' - something like this may be part of what you do on the side, but what you will always be doing is being responsible for each other and actively creating harmony and equality in society and government on a day to day basis.
