Shallow hopes

They do everything against anyone who can endanger the power, capital and profit of their bosses. But their hopes are shallow. There is no end to the struggle for freedom and equality, nor is there a great empire that has not fallen and has not collapsed.

Can the world be considered free if it is divided into spheres of interest between the great powers? Or, perhaps, the complex question should be asked: Is there only one sphere of interest, in the name of which humanity is deceived by illusions of democracy, of equality in international relations, of equal economic-social and civilizational-cultural opportunities?

It seems that what people have yet to become aware of is that the main, essential element of the spheres of interest is the violation of the sovereign equality of other state legal entities and the annulment of the principle of equality and independence of peoples and states.

Interesting areas

In the past, given the immorality of agreements in areas of interest, the ruling powers of the great powers have sought to explain and justify such steps to the public. This manipulation of domestic and world public opinion was carried out through various slogans: the need for "higher state interests", or "responsibility for order and peace" in some part of the world, or "Christian duty" to protect councilors, so even a duty for some kind of racist "civilization mission"…

The United States in the 19th century declared the whole of South America as its sphere of interest with the excuse that they do not want to allow the intervention of the Holy Alliance (Spain and Portugal) in that area and for the "protection" of their own "national security", without giving any it was a satisfactory and solid explanation of what national interests could be thousands of miles outside its territory.

The mortal enemy of the "spheres of interest" is the readiness of nations and independent states to defend their sovereignty and to fight for their independence and the right to an independent life. In the face of this "internal" defense readiness, the great powers are "softening" the resistance of their victims by provoking internal international, inter-political, economic-social and, sometimes civilian armed conflicts, accompanied by a strong demoralizing media propaganda campaign for the hopelessness of the national struggle. independence and state sovereignty.

Today the world is increasingly bipolar, so Uncle Sam does not have to try too hard to justify his immoral and unprincipled role as a "world cop." But still, in countries that are "disobedient" and in his sphere of interest (and that is - the whole planet), he is forced to resort to a fierce media campaign and political antagonism "in order to restore a lost democracy." .

The big Brother

At home, in parallel, it needs additional resources: production with consent to foreign policy steps, production of weapons, deception of the "stupid masses" with the "necessary illusions of the threat of terrorism, socialism, Islam…" The media play a key role in pursuing such neo-fascist and neo-colonial "policies" of the economic-political neoliberal elite. They are engaged in and carry out "engineering of consciousness", through which enemies are produced, and then they are denigrated and hatred and anger are aroused against them as "totalitarian regimes that violate democratic rights and repress their citizens."

The examples we see in modern times are obvious: for media demonization, according to the needs of the Great Boss of the White House, they appear on a "button", then disappear, and then the "bad guys" Castro, Gaddafi, Maduro, Ali Khamenei return. Kim Jong Un, Putin, Lukashenko, Assad…

But it is already clear to everyone what the clever Noam Chomsky wrote: "There can be no democracy in a country where vital national interests are abandoned to serve the purposes of foreigners"… In other words, there can be no way to be good to those who are in someone's sphere of interest and have subordinated their freedom and justice to Big Brother. Today's neoliberal rulers of the world are convinced that they have reached the end of history, that they are the winners of the great "historical battle" between civilizations, between East and West, between rich and poor, that no one and nothing can нив… That's why they play with human destinies, with the destinies of the states and with the destiny of the planet Earth, and their guard dogs from the intellectual and media management are barking, foaming, grimacing at everything that appears as a demand for equality and justice, that is, all those who can jeopardize the power, capital and profits of their masters. But their hopes are shallow. There is no end to the struggle for freedom and equality throughout history, nor is there a great empire that has not fallen and has not collapsed. It is an inevitable social-historical process.
