WHO RULES THE WORLD? a poem by Tom Leonard


                                WHO RULES BIG PHARMA AND THE WORLD?

                                                    by Thomas Hoskyns Leonard


                                                               




        'Tis the kinky Illuminati zombies,' dizzy Annie said,

        Going off her mind-controlled head.

        'Though MK Ultra and the twisted C.I.A. got to me,

         Just as they'll fry us all, quite verily,

        And I don't know what I really see.'

        What would the global security Statisticians at Los Alamos say?

        The all reliable Harry F. Martz, I'm sure he knows the way.

        'Capitalism rules the world,' yells my dear friend Scottie,

        'And conspiracy theorists are much too potty.'

       The Bilderberg Group don't have the nous

       Though perchance they're manipulated by their twisted spouse.

        In my pipe dreams, a 'Eugenics Consortium' I perceive

       Always ready the proletariat to deceive,

        Maybe metaphoric but perchance stark reality, and historic.

        Pruning and mind controlling us with toxic psych meds, ECT and Monsanto chemicals;

        Slaying the nations with their munitions and biochemicals,

        Tampering with our genes, engineering distorted humanoids,

        Next they'll be turning us into star-shaped zorro-trapezoids,

        Diminishing our working classes with financial intrigue,

        Driving our young into depression and fatigue,

        Sanctioning our Workfare volunteers and suiciding their disabled peers,

        In league with the military, the medical-industrial consortium and the rest

        Pursuing Sir Francis Galton's mind control to remain the best.

        Practising criminality, psychopathy, and instilled paranoia with evil zest.

 

        But which control freaks rule Them and the world with a steel hewn fist?

        The Federal Reserve Class of '63, perhaps, through a foggy mist.

        A roomful of Rockefellers, Bushes, Rothschilds, Morgans and the likes,

        Who learnt to crush us all while still riding on their trikes,

        Possessors of trillions, controllers of zillions,

        As the Rothschild central banks around the globe consume billions,

        In the legacy of those who Lincoln, Garfield, Kennedy assassinated,

        Now giving payouts to conspiracy theorists sufficiently fascinated

        To hide the true clique that puts us into mystic;

        At the pinnacle of JFK's 'monolithic organisation',

        They send agents by night to fulfil their machinations,

        And destroy their enemies during fearsome visitations.

        They are the icons of the boardroom cabals and itinerants

        Who run the two hundred most important conglomerates

         And behave like mindless, gormless degenerates.


         And who is the Emperor of the Dark Side,

         He who the honest rebellious does not abide?

         Was George Herbert Bush the moll who hid behind the grassy knoll?

         Was it GHB who the multi-faceted C.I.A. manipulated?

         Was GHB a major voice in the Eugenics Movement, the turd,

         With his salivating minions Boyden Gray and William Draper the Third?

         The movement so full of mouth out of the Deep South,

         Once financed by Carnegie, Harriman, Rockefeller and Kellogg,

         Who should have been tied arse-up over a log and heartily flogged.

          Did GHB foresee the danger of too many black babies,

         While much less concerned about diseases like scabies and rabies?

         Did he as Ambassador to the United Nations go

         To advocate surgical contraception and even more woe?

         Did GHB advocate sterilising children with low IQ

         With the help of UN volunteers straight out of the zoo?

         Was it GHB who sent us to Iraq ill-fated?

         GHB, GBH, it's all the same to me!

         Was it GHB who Big Pharma supplicated?

         In Rockefeller tradition of yore, toxic psych meds were financed and advocated!

         Was it GHB who with those on the Eli Lilly payroll fornicated?

         Was it GHB who a queer pedo sex ring operated

         While the pedo politicians, some MK-Ultra mind-controlled, appropriately co-operated?

         Beware GHB! Dr. Bruce Lavine is coming for your smelly pubic hair!


         Slimy Daddy Prescott, carefree GHB, George wimp, and tricky Jeb the Reb,

         These scumbags have entangled us in their family's pox-ridden spider's web;

         And the Rockellers, Morgans, Rothschilds, and the rest?

         They should be chained breast by breast and devoured at Woden's fest,

         While the motley four in a burning bush are of their entrails divested.

         Then will our beautiful world

          From the Shaman-like ripples from above break free,

          And our multi-coloured flags will be unfurled

          While we co-exist in human wealth and harmony.


          But sorry my dear friends! This resolution is but a Grecian fantasy;

          Even without these nerds, our world will remain in apoplexy,

          Because governments always look to the rich

          Who create the poor and throw them into a ditch.

          Scottie's eagle-eyed perception opposes my muddled imperception:

          In his mind, the ultimate problem in the world is Hierarchy

          Which sets some above the rest,

           Divides between superiority and inferiority,

           We'd thereby need global democracy,
       
           A revolution against the one percent

           By the oppressed minority !

           But if anarchy were ever to transpire

           Would we not need Hierarchy to conspire

           How to guarantee

           Our food, education, housing, and medication

           And our freedom to creative be?

           That should be enough for me,

           And enough for ye.

            I throw the ball into your court, Mikhail Bakunin;

            Fill the details in!

            Where's the beef?

            Or are we forever, increasingly chemicalised, on God's reef?

            Our good Lord desperately wants us to survive;

            If only grass roots democracy could endeavour to thrive;

            Last chance saloon, before we fly with Ganymede to Jupiter's seventh moon,






Composer's Notes: This poem expresses my considered opinion as of 7th. July 2015, and this stands to be updated in the light of any further information or insights received. My thanks to two members of the Edinburgh All Comers Writers Club for valuable background information and several other members for their constructive comments. My conclusions could be interpreted as a 'working model' which stands to be updated in the light of superior scientific argument, which is thereby invited.


In my opinion, a new type of world society needs to be created which provides (1) food 
(2) adequate medical care (3) a good education (4) good housing (5) an adequate 
guaranteed minimum income (6) the freedom to pursue creative endeavour 
(7) a safe environment free from bigotry (8) freedom from  unnecessary war,and 
(9) freedom from harmful effects from chemicals. vaccines, and medications, for 
everybody, while also endeavouring to protect nature and the future of our planet. 

We need to focus on these and further 'axioms for a world society', and then go to 
great lengths to discuss the sorts of social, economical, and political structures 
which might accommodate them. It would appear that our currently disastrous 
form of Capitalism would need to be abandoned.

  1. So it's the Bushes and the Fed, I see... In fact it's many groups, from sea to sea ... Almost too numerous to name ... making it hard to focus blame ... The Nazis worshipped Woden by way, and so do some factions of the CIA.

  3. I believe conspiracy theories such are above are contrary( and even counter-revolutionary) to a correct understanding of what is going on in the world. There is no need to invent fictions because the rulers of the world are well known. The world is ruled by the national and international capitalist class(composed of bosses, landlords, bankers, corporations and multinationals) and by states( nation states and international bodies like the WTO,IMF, World Bank, EU etc). Capitalism is a concentration of economic power, governments are concentration of political power i.e. decision-making.

    The source of the problems of the world are the division between superiority and inferiority which are created by hierarchies of all kinds. These systems of oppression include capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, the gender binary, ableism, heteronormativity, anthropocentrism,speciesism etc.

  4. I very much respect your point of view, Scott, This is of course from your own political perspective. I personally believe that we need a different form of Capitalism,
    and do not think that we should replace it by pie in the sky

  5. My viewpoint represents actual politics though. I don't have a common enemy with you. I think conspiracy theories are the enemy.

    What do you mean by a different form of capitalism?

    All forms of capitalism that have been ,are or could be involve oppression and exploitation. Capitalism is inherently a concentration of economic power.

  6. So what would you replace Capitalism by, Scott, and how would you structure it to ensure our food supply, medical treatment, good education, housing, and freedom to be creative?

    1. Capitalism is only the economic system not the political one.

      "I mean one where the participants are sworn to follow appropriate norms of truth, benevolence, credibility, and integrity, and where deviants from such protocols are hung out to dry"

      This is truly utopian!

      That argument assumes that the problem is rulers or powerful people within capitalism. That is false. It is the logic of the system that encourages and inclines them to act in these ways both the logic of what a government is and logic of what capitalism is and requires. There are better or worse politicians of course but they are very strongly encouraged to act in these ways. So this will not happen.

      Immoral people do join the government and enter into business but its more the case that governments and business encourage immoral behaviour. The problem is not the individuals involved by the incentives and disincentives of the systems and structures themselves.


      An honest or benevolent politician would not be able to rule i.e. be able to maintain the stability of capitalism or be able to cover up the necessary injustices required for its maintenance.

    2. In any society where money means influence and power then those with the most money will have the most influence and power. Those with the most influence and power will be able to influence governments and also governments will want to act in ways which help, protect and serve those with the most influence and power which is those with the most money.

      Therefore in any society where money grants influence and power, the rich will have the most say over society(so the society cannot be truly democratic) and the government will be swayed by the rich(therefore the government cannot be fair or benevolent or democratic or honest or care about the poor etc)

  12. Capitalism is a system whereby some( The working class or proletariat more precisely) must sell their labour power to those who own the means of production(the capitalists) to be able to survive and have subsistence. This system was created gradually in the transition from feudalism to capitalism.

    Capitalism means that the drive for profit dominates and overrides all other considerations like protection of nature or ethics. That is inherent to capitalism. It's what capitalism is, by definition.


    ReplyDelete
  13. There can be no benevolent government because the government exists to ensure the long term stability of the capitalist system( and other forms of oppression)

    the government is influenced by the capitalist class but is not controlled by them to the point of being able to act independently. The government will jail a banker if it will protect the long term stability of the capitalism system.

    Regardless of whether people are elected who have good intentions they will either be ignored, killed(like Salvador Allende) OR they will be co-opted and have to go along with the demands of the capitalist system. The government must always act in the interests of the market and since money dominates in capitalist society, it has overriding influence over anyone else.

  17. I guess that I still don't understand how grass roots democracy could possibly work in pragmatic terms, in the long term, and in a global economy, There are billions of bits of grass at the roots, How would they work well together, With respect, Scott, I think that while the Bakunins of this world are able to denounce Capitalism in extremely cogent terms, they are not able to suggest alternatives which would convince most of us a priori. Please pardon me if I'm missing something

    ReplyDelete
  18. I gave you examples above of how these organisations have existed and functioned pretty well in many did occasions.

    Grassroots democracy would certainly be more democratic and allow ordinary people to have a say in their lives.


    I repeat my arguments from before.

    You cannot create a blueprint for a new society in excruciatingly exact and precise detail (1) because that would be authoritarian in imposing decisions on future generations without democratic right to decide and (2) you cannot predict the future and so cannot know what adapts,alterations and changes or improvements would need to be made.

    Belief in strict precise blueprints is exactly the kind of thinking about politics that we need to get away from.

    I believe that means shape ends. I do not believe you can create a democratic society by undemocratic means. A grassroots democratic society must emerge from a grassroots democratic movement which develops the ideas and practice of how to have a different society in the process of working towards the creation of a new society. It is an experimental process. You can only learn how to act differently (and how to be organized in a different way) by acting as differently as is possible in this existing society.

    That doesn't mean I believe we should work for an alternative society to capitalism without having ANY IDEAS of what it would be like but we also cannot know what it would be like and we ethically cannot dictate to future people what it should be like.

    1. We have the example of the Spanish Revolution as the starting point for where we want to go but it didn't go far enough and there are other examples with other lessons we can learn from.

      I believe a future society would be a direct democracy from local to regional to 'national' to global.

      Workplaces would be run by the workers and community themselves. Society would be organized and structured democratically by ordinary people themselves.

  19. "Since the essence of anarchism is opposition to hierarchical authority, anarchists totally oppose the way the current economy is organised. This is because authority in the economic sphere is embodied in centralised, hierarchical workplaces that give an elite class (capitalists) dictatorial control over privately owned means of production, turning the majority of the population into order takers (i.e. wage slaves). In contrast, the libertarian-socialist economy will be based on decentralised, egalitarian workplaces in which workers democratically self-manage their productive activity in socially owned means of production.

    The key principles of libertarian socialism are decentralisation, self-management, socialisation, voluntary association, and free federation. "

  20. "The revolution abolishes private ownership of the means of production, distribution, and with it goes capitalistic business. Personal possession remains only in the things you use. Thus, your watch is your own, but the watch factory belongs to the people. Land, machinery, and all other public utilities will be collective property, neither to be bought nor sold. Actual use will be considered the only title [in communist anarchism] -- not to ownership but to possession. The organisation of the coal miners, for example, will be in charge of the coal mines, not as owners but as the operating agency. Similarly will the railroad brotherhoods run the railroads, and so on. Collective possession, co-operatively managed in the interests of the community, will take the place of personal ownership privately conducted for profit."-What is Anarchism?, Alexander Berkman.

  21. "he social and political structure of anarchy is similar to that of the economic structure, i.e., it is based on a voluntary federation of decentralised, directly democratic policy-making bodies. These are the neighbourhood and community assemblies and their confederations. In these grassroots political units, the concept of "self-management" becomes that of "self-government", a form of municipal organisation in which people take back control of their living places from the bureaucratic state and the capitalist class whose interests it serves. "

    "Thus the social structure of an anarchist society will be the opposite of the current system. Instead of being centralised and top-down as in the state, it will be decentralised and organised from the bottom up. "

    "Simply put, the state is centralised to facilitate minority rule by excluding the mass of people from taking part in the decision making processes within society. This is to be expected as social structures do not evolve by chance -- rather they develop to meet specific needs and requirements. The specific need of the ruling class is to rule and that means marginalising the bulk of the population. Its requirement is for minority power and this is transformed into the structure of the state."

  22. "Would we not need hierarchy to conspire

    As I've argued Hierarchy requires the creation of a distinction between inferior and superior, lesser and better. This idea you promote would involve oppression.

    We WOULD NOT need hierarchy. We would need grassroots direct democracy and federalism from the local to the global.

  23. Support for hierarchy represents a bureaucratic elitist authoritarian mindset rather than allowing the people to think, act and organize themselves.

    You reject the Status Quo less than you think.

  32. Power Corrupts The Best

    "most revolutions have been preceded by periods when everyone scoffed at the idea that things could ever change. Despite the many discouraging trends in the world, there are also some encouraging signs, not least of which is the widespread disillusionment with previous false alternatives. Many popular revolts in this century have already moved spontaneously in the right direction. I am not referring to the “successful” revolutions, which are without exception frauds, but to less known, more radical efforts. Some of the most notable examples are Russia 1905, Germany 1918–19, Italy 1920, Asturias 1934, Spain 1936–37, Hungary 1956, France 1968, Czechoslovakia 1968, Portugal 1974–75 and Poland 1980–81; many other movements, from the Mexican revolution of 1910 to the recent anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, have also contained exemplary moments of popular experimentation before they were brought under bureaucratic control."

    "Once these features are recognized and implemented, it will make little difference whether people refer to the new form of social organization as “anarchy,” “communalism,” “communist anarchism,” “council communism,” “libertarian communism,” “libertarian socialism,” “participatory democracy” or “generalized self-management,” or whether its various overlapping components are termed “workers councils,” “antiwork councils,” “revolutionary councils,” “revolutionary assemblies,” “popular assemblies,” “popular committees,” “communes,” “collectives,” “kibbutzes,” “bolos,” “motes,” “affinity groups,” or anything else. (“Generalized self-management” is unfortunately not very catchy, but it has the advantage of referring to both means and goal while being free of the misleading connotations of terms like “anarchy” or “communism.”)"
