"conspire" says the Petit Larousse is "s hear severally, agree to overthrow a leader, a political system .... " In other words it is to agree to several changes to an established order that is seeping to control the main levers or by physically removing irritants. It is an illegal takeover of power by a State or officers.
In a context where representative democracy is the norm and that neo-liberalism is the system through which articulated the economic relations of individuals, corporations and state, is fertile ground for the formation of groups that can control everything. Those who manage to control the political parties become in positions of power to control the various levers of the state, thus giving free rein to corporate interests of the monopolies to which they belong. Democracy boils down to the act of voting once every four years and the freedom of the vast majority comes down to the spaces we wish him well in granting the media and commercial networks that are fully under their control.
In Quebec we reach a peak in the awareness of this presence very active conspirators who have slipped to the highest levels of political, economic and perhaps even judicial. In an excellent article that gives us Richard Le Hir in relation to the recent book by André Noël and André Cédilot under very evocative MAFIA INC., greatness and misery of the Sicilian clan in Quebec, we learn the mechanics of manipulation, of corruption and infiltration. If in this book is mainly about the Mafia clan associated with the Sicilian will not believe they are the only ones. All these revelations and those to come take us out of this beautiful illusion of a entirely to our democracy and the idea that we as a people are the masters.
In Quebec we are experiencing the great disillusionment in Washington on November 17 last met representatives of the extreme right government with representatives of national oligarchies in Latin America. The goal of the game came down to this: "how to end the emerging countries gathered in the Bolivarian Alliance for the peoples of our America (ALBA )? How to get rid of President Chavez, whose influence on the whole the continent is immense? How to undermine this new covenant (Alba) who stands as an alternative to the Free Trade of the Americas? In broad daylight and in areas of greater normalcy these people were plotting to regain control of these countries by means other than those managed by the constitutional laws of these countries. Not surprising that the institutions of this great country long celebrated for its exemplary democracy has become a caricature. In a record, we moved the site Voltaire we can only conclude that these large institutions no longer belong to democracy, the people, but lobbyists and those they represent. Money eventually buy everything except some consciences, who often pay the price by sacrificing their lives.
In this context, recent revelations that we find in the book "Economic Assassins," by John Perkins, are very eloquent. A video, animated by the author, we made a summary. I invite readers who have not watched yet to do so by heading to the following address:
Now that we know we can no longer pretend that we do not know. When these people talk about freedom, we know that it is theirs and when they talk about belt-tightening we know they are talking about ours. We also know that it is no longer enough to have read in the newspaper or have heard on television or radio this or that to make it gospel truth. Most major media are well-oiled machines to manage knowledge and behaviors in order to mold them to the interests of these "conspirators" to tie and smiling broadly humanitarian.
