Oligocracy

Jack's latest post links you to a video in which the first part is about the scheming that religion is and a second part about the power of rich and resourceful minority over the world.

If you saw the movie, you're probably surprised, and asking yourself "How can this be?"

I don't know how it all started, but my high school economics teachers told me that what we're so shocked to hear about started when the human first started to live in society.

I haven't study history in the last 5 years, but I think that the only time in human history that there was true democracy was during the first years as a society, before Egyptians, Greeks or Romans; there was a time when the human being life as part of a herd, and anyone could challenge the leader.

Since then the ratio of People in charge/ total population has just being decreasing. In ancient Rome, there was a senate; later during the dark ages the Vatican had sovereignty over every European kingdom; but then came Martin Luther and the over the world was under the protestant countries, being this the longest period of time without a shift, happening only after the first world war; after which all changed, having two Anglo-Saxons (USA and Great Britain) and Russia; But after world war two Britain got cut out of the picture, leaving the other two to divide the world into tow for the second time in history. But after the fall of the U. R.S.S. we were left only with the United States of America as a ruler.

Now if I could take a moment I would like to explain how an infant adult like me sees the society we live.

My point of view is that we don't live in democracy, but rather in a system known in economy has oligopoly (?) an oligopoly is a market form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers (oligopolists), but to make it more correct I'll give it a new name Oligocracy (mostly the same but under a different name). So oligocracy is a regime in which a small group of people rules the country.

You may argue that there are elections every 4-5 years to prevent that.

And you'll be absolutely right, by saying that. But this oligocracy is rules over any countries president. This oligopoly is controlled by banks, oil refineries, warlords… And every country is in dept to them. And this dept is so big that if the government does not fulfill with their demands they risk a total shut down, and actually bringing to life the metaphor shit hole we say we live in.

Now that I explained my way of seeing things, I know you're probably traumatized, greatly traumatized if you actually saw the movie till the end. But I have some words to ease you now:

If there's something that history taught us was that nothing lasts forever, so this system will crumble eventually.And when it does it's going to be either because of greed, competition or both.

If it weren’t a video-game it would be the best movie of the decade

My friends you are witnessing a rare moment in my lifetime, for I'm now willing to bow for someone else than my reflection. Hideo Kojima is that that I bow to. Why? Because this man has been able to create the most perfect thing I've ever seen, the Metal Gear Solid series.

I've been a fan of this espionage, infiltration kind of game, from a very early age, although I never played the first episode of the series, I've watched patiently my cousins doing their best to complete the game, at the time played in the first Sony console Play station, also known as PSX or just PS.

After following the first battle between Solid Snake against his brother Liquid, we were all astonished, giving total support to the election of the best game of the century, it was in the year 1999, I think.

We had to wait 4 years and for PS2 to once again take part in a Hideo Kojima artistically mastered video-game. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, in which we take action with a new character named Raiden, joining shortly forces with the old Snake. This one was a great improvement in graphics making it an exceptional game as well, although at that time I felt that the story was short and less satisfying than the first one.

Three years pasted and we're then awarded with a prequel of the first one, were the gamer takes control of the Big Boss, father of the hero solid Snake, during a cold war crisis. Great game full of the experienced one had similar in the first.

But nothing was ever so good as what was to come…

The Forth and last episode of the Metal Gear Solid Saga. Guns of Patriots . This game is mind twistingly fantastic, making it for me the best game I've ever played.( I don't want to be a spoiler so I'll just say this) Solid Snake: I'm no hero... Never was. I'm just an old killer... Hired to do some wet work.

If you get a chance don't miss it, and enjoy it because the first time is the best.

Their bound to steal it away

Don't put your life in someone's hands
Their bound to steal it away


The music is great, but the only thing i want to focus on is the two verses i transcriped from the lyrics.
Can you really trust someone in this world?
If you think of it properly... you see you don't even trust yourself. Proof? Easy to find actually. Just remember the last time you did not bought that chocolate, because you could not stop yourself of eating it all at once. Or the time you said it would be the last.

Trust is a hard thing to come by, more in our days dan in the past. But i trust in people, so do you, because if not we would just go insane, with all the screts we keep, the thing is that i don't trust them with the key. It may sound like some rubish Harry putters thing but it is true. I give almost every peace of information that i have to my trusties, leaving only some key element behind.
Jack and deWinter don't acktually have any idea of wich are my screts, but they know some of the screts i keep from others.

And to show I appreciation I'll tell you one: "there's something I'm not keeping for mutch longer"
