Media must help protect society from dangerous people in authority
In 2008 a few bankers and their friends created a global financial catastrophe. Since the Wall Street thieves had friends inside the White House they received $700 Billion in US taxpayer’s bail-out.
The CEO of Lehman Brothers who was always arrogant and conceited, told the world weeks earlier, his company was doing well and would prove their critics wrong. This was a person that had such contempt for others, that people who worked with him would literally try their best to avoid him.
Why is this type of individual analyses important?
We have individuals in the highest level of government and business etc. that have contempt for ordinary people. They are interested in only in themselves and will ruin others given the option as they lack a moral conscious. They have the ability to fool others and assume a position of authority.
In reality they are devious.
Example, in 2012, HSBC Bank appeared in front of the USA Congress for laundering money from drug cartels. After intervention from political leaders in Britain, the bank only received a fine, indicating that bankers are above the law, especially big bankers who have immunity from going to prison.
Why is this relevant for South Africa?
As another national election looms, it is vital the media maintains oversight on who is who in the political zoo. Since most political parties and leaders cannot be trusted, it is the duty of the media to keep a more activist role. Example, we have politicians that are in governance for decades but have made no meaningful contribution. Thus it is necessary to ask what purpose do these individuals serve, who are they working for and protect, when their usefulness to the public is questionable.
Councillors fight to represent a ward. Ironically members of parliament are often aloof and unreachable as they are so “important” that we only see them briefly before an election?
Like the US bankers that profited from their attempt to destroy the global economics, politicians that have no value but are paid handsomely must be identified and removed so our nation can heal itself.
It cannot be business as usual in South Africa as we have one of the highest unemployment and the crime rates in the world. Our society cannot survive on its current political, social and economic trajectory as it is sustainable. The cost of living will lead to more social unrests as people suffer.
The easiest thing to identify and remove, are useless politician. Our tax and ratepayers cannot maintain useless people in authority when service delivery is non-existent. We need real change.
