The Working Classes Demise And The Enrichment Of Wall Street & The Banks!

Everyday I see on televsion the enormous profits that Wall Street Brokers and The Banking Institutions are making, at an alarming rate. And I ask myself, when will some of this bounty reach the desperately impoverished working masses? Many of whom are still un-employed, most are unable to find any work, (temporary or otherwise), and does not see any changes for the better anytime soon either.

The politicians in Washington DC are daily enacting legislation (supposedly), to inhibit the reckless behavior of Wall Street Investors and Bankers, from indulging in behavior that hitherto brought the US and the Global Economy almost to a standstill. And at the same time the current administration in The White House, promise better days ahead. Even though the reality on the ground everywhere says that businesses are reluctant to re-hire anyone, reasons being fear, uncertainty, and other fabricated excuses.

Who Will Bell The Cat?

In this self-centered and Capitalist society, where the ingrained belief that the government has no business to tell any person, or business how to manage it's affairs. Some Americans are even bitterly against any legislation that is perceived to infringe on the behavior of any business, regardless of whether that business is behaving in ways that infringes on worker's rights.

The Trade Union's Are At Fault Too:

Many Trade Union Organizations are also part and parcel of the demise of their workers, because they have been playing politics with the politicians, in order to gain favor. At the expense of the same workers they are mandated to serve.

Some Trade Unions subscribe to certain politicians. Others support both political parties, in an attempt to gain political favors. Workers are being tricked by their own representatives in Public Office, and by their Collective Bargaining Agent too.

So where can the working masses turn to for help at this time?

I presume that the only recourse is to seek the assistance of the state. But that leads inevitably to dependence on The State. And such dependence brings with it, it's own penalties. Such as Benefit Cuts, Governmental Intrusion, Second Class Citizenship, and other social stigma. Meanwhile, the economic tragedy continnues unabted, with promises from our elected representatives of 'Better Days Ahead.'

The Facts About Somalia Today!

Hitherto the current political administration, Somalia was overran by Al Shabaab or (the Youth), that purports for a political administration administered by Sharia Law. The current administration's president was also part of this initial political front, but shortly thereafter, internal divisions resulted in a split between the current administration of moderate Muslims, and the faction that rigidly purports Sharia law as the preferred method of rule.

This split resulted in insurrectionist activities against the current administration, which indulges in the abduction of youths for it's Military/Jihad against the government. While all of this was happening, bombs were being exploded all over the city and outlying areas, in an attempt to bring the official government to it's knees. With mass killing of Somalis who supported the government in office.

However, in time, the Al Shabaab youth insurrectionists were able to take control of the vast majority of Somalia, leaving only about four to six square blocks of territtory under the control of the government.

Foreign Military Assistance:

The Somali government was unable to defend itself adequately, due to much more sophisticated weaponry used by the Al Shab insurrectionists. So they asked their neighbors Ethopia and Uganda to assist them in repelling the Al Shabaab insurrectionists.

Millions of Somalis have fled the country, thousands are encamped in areas in squalor, without food, medical assistance, or protection for their lives and livelihood either.

Kidnapping And Piracy:

Out of this mix and despair some chose to indulge in Abductions or kidnappings for ransom or money. Others indulged in Piracy at sea, to enrich themselves. Some elements or Rogue Former military and Maritime personnel are also involved in piracy and kidnappings too.

It seems like El Qaeda was able to influence some elememnts within the Al Shabaab movement, getting them to infiltrate Uganda, resulting in a recent terrorist bombing of fans, as the F.I.F.A. World Cup-2010, was being viewed on screen at a stadium.
