The higher up the political ladder one goes the bigger the ethical compromises one must make.
It is very
rare to find people of strict ethical and moral behavior in the higher
echelons of government. The reason is that the higher up the political
ladder a candidate goes, then the more ethical compromises they would
have to make in order to reach those positions at the top. Ethical
compromises that good people would not be prepared to make, nor even
tempted by with all the big money pay cheques. This is why we very
rarely find high ethical and moral qualities in people in positions of
power. John Kerry is a great example of someone ethically compromising
and becoming corrupted and immoral as they reach the higher echelons of
government in this video of him being morally correct in his younger days.
Very
occasionally we have seen people of ethics somehow get through to the
higher echelons of government, such as John F Kennedy, who was clearly
threatened for his ethical and moral standards he tried to placate, by
the ruthless money men, who eventually had him killed. He
was too great a threat to the ruthless perpetuation of control by fear,
greed, unethical, and unscrupulous misery and slavery for the
population, by the heartless puppeteers above him.
Often in
the earlier stages of a person’s political career, they can have great
aspirations to bring about a more ethical and morally sound system, and I
am sure a young, unsullied Tony Blair going door to door campaigning
may have had such aspirations, but the further up the political ladder
they climb, the more they have to compromise ethically in order to
proceed.
They soon
become en swathed and seduced by the web of deceit, lies and terrible
murder and misery, which they have to say yes to. By the time they are
in that deep they have little choice but to do as they are told, as they
drop a few more bombs there, take over a country over here, murder a
couple of hundred thousand civilians here and there, and it starts to
feel quite normal. The new feeling of being all powerful, fueling the
puffed up ego that was once a nobody, now a big somebody, and the
millions of pounds that starts going into the bank, and we soon have a
literal monster who lies and cheats and steals as standard. We only have
to remember the image of him walking side by side with George Bush,
arms slightly away from the body implying big muscles they didn’t have,
and chests both pushed out, like real tough guys, tough guys who would
have both wet their pants on the front line in Iraq. It is easy to be
tough when you send other people to murder, fight and be killed, for you
who started the fight behind a desk sipping tea.
There are
many wise, ethically and morally sound people with vision in the world
who could do a much better job of things, who sadly will never reach a
position to do so, in the political system as we know it, and even if
they did within that noxious system, it would seem like putting an
umbrella up in a hurricane. As I mentioned already, but it’s worth
saying again, that anyone wanting to rule and govern others so
vehemently are quite psychologically sick, as their future actions
normally prove.- Jason Liosatos www.jasonliosatos.com
