The Last Refuge Of The British Empire
Their are cultures that have existed in the past, and some still exist, that have seemingly surpassed the levels of sophistication and achievement that this so called civilisation in the western hemisphere has managed in the eight hundred or so years that you could call the age of the British Empire, foregoing the fact that most of those years were in the forming and moulding of it and not in its education and employment. It is true that the Empire is no more alive than the Roman Empire although they are nearly two millenia apart there is a corelation in the fact that Rome and the latin church still has an enormous influence over the running and directing of a very large part of western civilisation. There has been a huge shift in power and influence mainly due to the emergence of the American state, something that owes its birth to the British Empire and also that has ridden alongside the influence and power of the almost ancient Roman Empiric doctrine of christian catholic faith. Most of the money or wealth in the western world today is squeased through this very narrow apperture created by the familiar and relative groups that have been there since the days of Rome when the role in life was to support the religion, not as a business proposition, but as a backbone of civilsation and common wealth. A large population used to be regarded as a stabilising factor in the maintaining of the current system and large groups, since the dawn of time, have always been a desirable achievement. But today it seems the large body of the populace has become the destabilising factor, as the corporate giants try to out do eachother in amassing wealth, like greedy children, the more they have the less they want to share. When it reaches the point whereby technology can solve the problem of keeping a large workforce fit enough to work, but weak enough to be controlled, then the world is in for a very nasty shock. The signs are already there, the towers of faith have been dashed to the rocks of despair, and the giants, as in the days of Noah, are once again roaming the earth, devouring the resources to the point of desolation with no thought for future or sustainance, the world is on the brink of a spiritual war, where the only winner can be God himself, as by him all things were formed, and by him all will be taken away.
