The Free Market is based on the principle to make money with money. As we realize that power is being concentrated in ever fewer bigger corporations and fortunate sons so we realize that democracy is being eroded by the widening gap between the poor and the rich. Any social and economic system based on making money with money becomes eventually a big gambling casino where everything is being betted for and where on the average, only the big corporations and fortunate sons have better chances to make money with money. |

protection |
These corporations and fortunate sons have better chances to make money with money since in the process of the Free Market many people become marginalized and disenfranchised. Further, in the process of the Free Market, the chances to make money with money are being further and further skewed on behalf of the politicians as they become more and more representatives of the money making machinery rather than representatives of the people. Therefore, as the Free Market becomes an ever bigger gambling casino and more people become marginalized, so this gambling casino needs to be protected by big corporations and fortunate sons. |

If the process of the Free Market continues along with the related erosion of democracies we are doomed to wage continuous wars as these wars are the logical consequences of the Free Market. As these wars become intrinsic of the process of the Free Market along with the marginalization of more people, so big corporations and fortunate sons have better chances to appoint politicians who will push new legislation for taking away the rights of people and enforce the Free Market so that it becomes a legalized coercive Free Market. |

We must understand that the United States is a super power, economically and militarily, and that the Free Market has been preached by the leading Chicago School of Economics. Therefore, it is my contention that this trend of the Free Market to become a coercive gambling casino can be perceived by reflecting on the relationships of the following events in the United States: |

We must learn to see our realities as patterns of historical relationships of events. We must stop to see the world as made up of isolated events. Big corporations and fortunate sons contend that the horrific event of 9-11 changed the world in one day, but many common people contend that 2+2 is still equal to 4. As usual, you must make up you own opinion and you can exercise your curiosity by visiting the referenced web sites. |

Rogues' Gallery, by the Global Policy Forum. This page provides a sample of well-known individuals who are accused of major crimes. Some have already been indicted by tribunals and some have not. In particular, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Senator Bob Kerrey, who are both listed in this web page, have not been indicted yet by any international tribunal as it is the intention of the Bush Administration to protect them from any tribunal, be in the United States or aborad. http://www.globalpolicy.org/intljustice/wanted/wntdindx.htm | |
