The favoured ones

Throughout history in times of peace and relative stability the favoured ones rise to the top.
.
That is to say those who can manipulate.
.
Have the right contacts.
.
Were born into the right families.
.
Went to the right schools.
.
In other words in every country and society there are networks.
.
Networks which exclude.
.
Networks designed to promote.
.
Networks in power with tentacles across society.
.
Networks that control and perpetuate their members.
.
And yes they control
.
And yes they have the power
.
And yet and yet
.
The members of these networks pay the price.
.
The price to be paid in order to move ahead.
.
To gain power.
.
To take control.
.
In order to enter this private world you have to accept their values.
.
First leave your morals and ethics behind.
.
Then sell your soul.
.
Lie, cheat, steal, do whatever is necessary.
.
Do whatever it takes to get ahead.
.
Across the world we have leaders who are world class at this game.
.
This is why they are where they are.
.
And in times of peace and relative stability they get away with knowing only the pursuit of power.
.
They can scheme and manipulate.
.
Supported by their invisible networks
.
But unfortunately for us few know much beyond the game of gaining and maintaining power.
.
Most if not all have f****  all idea about what to do in our present times.
.
Few if any have any vision.
.
Any idea of what could be created.
.
Created that is in place of the mess we have today.
.
A mess they helped create.
.
Number one thought for these men is not the protection of the realm or it's well being.
.
It is to keep their own personal position of power.
.
To protect their position at all costs.
.
And throughout history they have caused damage, death and destitution on those weaker members of society who are obliged to live under their leadership.
.
In the UK today it is the poor, the old, the disadvantaged who are feeling the pain of no jobs, poor or no housing and so on.
.
And these leaders will walk away from the mess they have created.
.
To retire to their pleasant homes.
.
But today many will fall before their normal retirement time.
.
Watch them fall one by one as their lack of true leadership and ideas becomes evident.
.
As their lack of understanding about what to do in these times becomes clear.
.
One by one they will go because they cannot lead when they have no idea as to what can be created or what might be possible.
.
They cannot change things.
.
They owe too many favours to too many special interest groups.
.
Special interest groups who are holding so many countries hostage to their selfish narrow objectives.
.
Together they are all being caught in their web of deceit and lies.
.
Lies that are being exposed.
.
Governments exposed.
.
Systems breaking down.
.
Individuals desperately spinning their stories.
.
And  what next?
.
As so often happens in times of tension and change.
.
The favoured who have no idea of what to do or how to change get caught out.
.
Get thrown out.
.
Then with luck the true leaders emerge, those who do have ideas.
.
Who can lead because they have a vision of what can be done.
.
Who are chosen because they have integrity and insight. 
.
Change is then undertaken 
.
This time we will see what we shall see.
