Money Rules the World
Money rules the world
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
Who created and established the concept of this money, that is an other question. But if we go deep and think over this money concept, we come to the conclusion that money rules the world. Even today, when people have established democracies in their countries, yet the people who are rich are in the government and the people who have got no money with them are still slaves or just subjects or just voters who send these rich people to rule over them. The poor and the slaves still believe that only rich people should be allowed to sit on chairs of power and all the poor people should be satisfied if they are allowed to remain as subjects of the country and obey the orders passed by those who had been sent by the people to seats of power.
The people who are poor are given assurance that they too shall become power, but in spite of all such assurances given to the people, the people could not rise because these rich and powerful people never desired that these poor people should also rise. The people in power always side the rich people and they remain one and they exploit the position and situation of the poor people in the country. They ensure that the people should remain illiterate, unemployed, poor, houseless, must wear on rags, must starve and must suffer poverty because of rising prices and they should remain concentrating just on the subject of two time meals and nothing more. They know that they are ruling only because the people are poor and ignorant and if they are also having money and then they shall become wise and then they shall not allow these few people to rule over them. That is the reason, the main interest in the mind of the ruling classes is to keep the people poor and deprived of all the facilities of life and they are successful in all he countries.
It is very strange that in each democracy the governments are established with the votes of common people and when they are installed on seats of power, these people start working for the rich and not for the poor and they know that these rich people had not exercised right of vote in elections. The people in power have converted this election system so costly that only rich could participate in this process and the poor should remain just a voter. They are one class and they have divided themselves in political parties with different names and they play friendly matches. In one election one party wins and next time the other party can win and both are happy and when they are in the houses, they play friendly matches and the people are merely spectators and enjoy the matches. All the news papers and other sources of media start publishing and showing these matches to the people and in this way these agencies also join with the people playing friendly matches and keep the people busy for at least five years. Then these people are invited to elect the same personalities once again and give them time to play friendly matches.
The people in power keep the people busy for five years or more as the case may be. They could be playing friendly matches at international level or at national level. In the whole tenure the people are reading and seeing adverse comments on each other and the whole media remains busy reporting the same and they never talk about the common man who remains suffering in these tenures. If we have an eye on India, we shall find that none of the problems of the people of India could be solved during the past six decades and the people who are on seats of power had been growing rich and more rich and now these people are the richest class here in India and it is on record that people have been kept illiterate, unemployed, poor, without proper accommodation, are wearing rags, are beggars, are ill and are not in a position get proper treatment, they are not having any social security when they are ill or are old, they are to pay bribe and the people in power are committing scams, scandals, muddles, taking commissions, are selling jobs, quotas, licences and the like and all these burdens are on the shoulder of the people. Even the people experts in economic matters could not solve the problems of the people rather they are planning in such a manner that the poor are being reduced to more poverty.
So money shall remain ruling in all the democracies in the world and till this money concept is having more power, we shall have to accept the real meanings of the following lines,
‘ Persoo, Parsa and Pars Ram, Iss Maya Ke Teen Naam’
The poor people shall remain king makers, but they would never rise to the position of ‘Pars Ram’.

Blank State – The Future of World Democracy?
A new project that aims to create a global democracy from scratch has settled on its first goal: to gather at least one member from every country in the world. Blank State, as the group is known, has been founded on a single core principle: democracy. The members collectively decide the goals and structure of the group through discussion and voting. Membership is free and open to all world citizens.
According to the founder, Duncan Rickelton, a democratic structure to represent the people of the world is long overdue: “The people of the world currently do not have a voice. The massive forces at play in today’s global economy are touching more and more lives and determining the future of the planet and the human race. It’s time the race as a whole had more of a say in how this goes.”
Only with fairly recent developments in technology has something like Blank State become possible. Over 23 percent of the world’s population now have internet access, representing an increase of 350 percent since 2000. Also, the popularisation of web 2.0 applications such as embeddable voting widgets is now making it easier than ever to collectivise the decision-making process of large organizations. Blank State is based in a social network (http://blankstate.ning.com) built on the Ning.com platform, which was itself only founded in 2005.
There are already members from eight different countries, but Blank State wants to go much further. The group recently decided to make it their first goal to get at least one member from every country in the world. “This will be our first step towards fair representation,” says Rickelton. “Once we’ve achieved that we’ll see where everyone wants to take this.”
Despite the growth in internet use, engaging a member in every country could be quite a challenge. In Myanmar, for example, still only 0.1 percent of the population has access. But the members of Blank State are undeterred. A message has already been posted in a Myanmar forum – there is still an internet audience of 40,000 people to reach.
A notable inclusion in the list of 195 target countries is the Vatican City. There is as yet no word as to whether the Pope will be invited to join, but with such an inclusive membership policy there is little doubt that he would be welcome.

Why Are Our Companies Supporting Countries That Do Not Support Democracy?
I believe that it is time for our companies to stop making all our basic products over seas where people are being used for cheap labor to support economies that do not support democracy for all people. I think that our companies are taking advantage of cheap over seas labor to make more profit then they should off of products that should be made here at home. I believe that this practice by our companies is making our need for supplies from other countries more then it should be. I think that it is time for people to start rebuilding our own economy first. I think that buy investing in our economy here at home again for our basic needs will create more jobs for people that are not working in our country.
I believe that companies have to support democracy in our country by making our products here at home again. I believe that making so much of our countries basic products over seas is just taking money and jobs that are needed out of our country. This will just weaken our economy it will give money to countries that abuse their labor force. I believe that our country is not only weaken by this our companies are supporting countries that do not support democracy.
I think that companies that sell their products here should make their products here at home where our own people can prosper from all these sales. Why are our home based companies going to start supporting democracy for all people. I know when one child or person works for less then a fair wage democracy takes two steps backwards. Supporting unfair labor over seas will just make democracy that much harder to support. How can our country preach democracy to other countries when our home based companies abuse their labor force to line the pockets of their government and our own companies.
