Prescient (Knowledge of events before they occur)

Despite its publication date (1999), this exposé is still completely relevant to the present and future global circumstances. Its prescience is evidenced by the inevitable world financial crisis in 2008. The author does not call a spade a spoon; he tells it like it is and what will be. And he offers solutions. I would give the book 6 stars if I could because it is easy to read and highly enlightening to laypeople (who make up the vast majority of us). Described in brief, the author, Paul Hellyer, describes how, in their worldwide unbridled avarice for capitalism, corporations have covertly overpowered governments supposedly democratically elected to represent most of us. The said corporations have insidiously taken control of everything that would and could be free, democratic and fair. Even national and international laws are skewed in their favour. The author also shows that the core malignancy to all nations is the world's private banking and financial systems. The banking system has given us 45 recessions and depressions in 200 years, with more to come. (I was forced to flee my country of origin and become an economic refugee because of what international currency trading has done and is doing to the finances and economy of that country. So, I can also speak with knowledge from experience.) The serious conundrum is that most people find what Paul Hellyer tells us so extraordinarily incomprehensible, because most people haven't realised the inter-connectedness of everything in the "human universe". Hellyer has had multifaceted experience with "feet-on-the-ground" global perspective and understanding, which is why he is able to show us what he knows. He and his ilk are ahead of their time, to be acknowledged as seers way too late in the future (- if most people awaken belatedly to the truths of Hellyer et al's works). Some of the other works in line with Hellyer's are: A Brief History of Neoliberalism (Neoliberalism was aka "neoclassical" politicised economics) - ISBN: 0199283273 Captive State (The corporate takeover of Britain) - ISBN: 0330369431 Web of Debt (Solutions for, and causes of the 2008 financial global crisis) - ISBN: 0979560829 The Grip Of Death (A study of modern money, debt slavery and destructive economics) - ISBN: 1897766408 Companion DVDs to these books could be: The Money Masters (History of money. Not to be confused with DVDs on currency trading) Money as Debt (What money is really. An outline of the aforesaid "Money Masters") All the aforesaid show how nations have become undemocratic, and are worsening in their "democracy", by restoring what was once an existence for the masses in medieval history. Having not been stopped, the new world order has increasingly become one of domination by the power of greed. One of the few global organisations having the potential for preventing the aforesaid is the International Simultaneous Policy Organisation (ISPO) at www.simpol.org _________________________________________________
