Syria

Bodies of the massacred in Syria

Syria belies the myth of human family. Syria tells the truth of human evil. Syria represents the end result of greed, patriarchy and genetic elitism, represented in family dynasty.

The atrocities in Syria and the immoral support of those atrocities by Russia and China expose the true nature of corporate control of human society. China tramples all human rights concerns at will in any global situation because it is the world's corporate lender and manufacturing supplier. Russia does the same because it is still a large nuclear power with oil and gas supplies. The corporate world is dependent on carbon-rich energy sources. 

And what of religions and Syria? Iran, a Muslim theocracy, is largely responsible for the massacres in Syria. Saudi Arabia, home to Mecca, is notably quiet. The al-Assad regime is an Iranian ally and surrogate in the face of Israel. What of Syrian Christians, a considerable minority in Syria? The Syrian Christians have largely supported the al-Assad regime and its atrocities. Have their patriarchs commanded them to do otherwise? And what of Israel? Israel's own theocratic state has been notably silent. It most likely prefers the chaos in Syria to a unified front against its existence. This would be a rational position, but not a highly moral one.

Syria exposes the impotence of money men in the face of power and control by dictators. Money has no ethics. Money has no moral compass. Money has no compassion. Just as the money men cynically wager on the misery of the Greeks, the money men wager on the blood flow in the streets of Syria. This makes the incompatibility between corporate capitalism and humanism very clear.
