NeoColonialism
- The state of poor, third-world countries which enjoy formal political independence, but continue to remain economically dependent on rich, industrialized countries.
-a modern form of colonialism usually leftover from colonial times – the control over the nation is accomplished through economic rather than political systems
Who is in charge here? what exactly does our “leader” do? Look at the decisions that have been made with-in the past few years, the policies that have been created. The promises that were made were they met? the promises that were met have they lasted? Where is our ‘age of Aquarius’, this post world cup utopia promised by those who ignored the odds. Why have those who foresaw the failure ignored? why again in the face of reason are flawed projects fast tracked? Who really benefits from the status quo?
As the invisible strings that have been attached to our ‘liberties” are pulled one by one, as our rights are slowly eroded. As the blind and naive defend our leaders, firmly ignoring the monsters they are becoming. As the rich shore up their wealth as a ward against the beast that is coming leaving the “not-so-well-off” to fend for themselves. Like proverbial rats of the sinking ship, our nation’s leaders prepare for their exits, their work is almost done here. They are paving the way for the new master(s), the ones who truly call the shots. With our CSME and dissolving borders our region is being molded into one organism. Another organ to the global creature.
Let us this coming saint Andrew’s Day, remember the people who fought for our faux freedom, for those who labored so that one day the children can say; “Happy-Limited-Self-Governance-Day!”
