Is bailout plan a conspiracy? Read the “Conspiracy theory of 2008”

As the people around the world were celebrating to welcome New Year of 2009, the events of 2008 were completing the last chapters of a story. This is the story of the oil and gas prices which is the center of politics in all five continents, from Persian Gulf to Niger delta, from Caspian Sea to Siberia, From Alaska to Mexico, and From Venezuela to East Timor. Just look of the few events around the politics of oil and gas in 2008.

1- In start world was evident of historical rises in oil prices. Oil prices were threatening to a level that governments all over world especially USA, were debating on curing the oil addictions and turning to new sources of energy. Solar, wind, geothermal, clean coal, bio-fuel, etc were the hot debates and common topics in newspapers, magazines, political, economical and academic circles.

2- The Russian and Ukraine tensions over gas prices. Russians were asking more oil prices from countries in West Europe to which Russia supply gas. The rising prices of oil and gas were pressing the economics of importing countries. The economics of Western countries, USA, China, Japan, India and other small countries allied to western coalitions were under pressure of oil prices. Iran, Venezuela, Russia and Cuba were using the oil and gas as a political card.

3- Iran and Venezuela were making agreements to cooperate in oil and gas sector and to set up a mutual fund based on it to struggle and help countries against imperialism.

4- Similarly the Venezuela and Cuba were making socialists agreements based on which the Venezuela exported Oil in exchange to medical services they were getting from Cuba. The oil and gas were promoting socialism and anti-imperialism.

It was a real threat to Western Coalition after cold war. Certainly it was a serious attack on the capitalism after the U-turn of USSR and Communist China.

5- To strengthen this socialist attack the symbol of Islamic revolutionary Iran, made another attack against imperialism by announcing the Oil bourse in Southern port city of Kish and announced that the trading currency will be Euro instead of US dollar. The purpose was simple to understand and it had three core purposes:

a- To shift the oil market from London to the Persian Gulf. Naturally, UK is non producer country but as London is trading centre of Oil hence despite of non-producer country, it control the oil prices and get benefits of oil trading throughout of the world.

b- To weaken dollar. The dollar has no gold backing as normally people conceived. It is only trust of people on dollar due to large trading in dollar that make dollar a precious commodity in the world. If the trust of people weakens on dollar then the value of dollar will lower. This strategy of Iran worked earlier as certain countries started to shift their dollar reserves into Euro. This move strengthened the value of Euro and its value become higher than US dollar. This was a real economic attack of Iran against USA which was tightening her economical siege against Iran.

c- To attract the investments from all over world especially from neighboring Arabian countries and to lessen the degree of inclinations of Arabian countries on West. Iran strongly needed the support of the Arabian countries to make Islamic renaissance a fact. As Arabian countries are mostly non-democratic states so the governments are very weak and are in danger of popular appraisal as the people are empowered by introduction of new technologies and awareness in people. These kingdoms and dictators have stronger threats from their own people than any external forces, so they cooperate with Western countries to save their positions. Even they recognize and support Israel to save their positions. Iran is well aware of rich but weak governments of Arabian countries. The democratic Arabian countries would be strength of a revolutionary Iran, so the bourse of the oil in Iran though not much successful in attracting the Arab investments but will certainly make an example to attract the attentions of both people and decision makers in Arabian states and hence cause a change.

The world, especially political analyst was waiting to the response of the capitalist world. There were no sign of response in any country. Suddenly out of nowhere the financial corporate of USA started to fall. The mortgages and financing were in real trouble. World were observing in shock the collapse of capitalism, as last hope of modern men in modern economical systems. The USA government announced the bailout plan as a savior. The socialists were keenly observing the US socialist move to save capitalism. Following USA, all economic powers of world which were oil exporting countries announced bailout plans. UK, Japan, Germany, India were leading in bailout plans. Despite the bailout plans the financial markets continued collapsing. A real global recession began. The trade volumes started to shrink, the demands for supplies decreased and the prices fell down. The most noteworthy prices that fell were that of oil. The oil prices fell up to 100 $ per barrel. It was the biggest hit and answer to socialist countries like, Venezuela and Cuba, as well as conventional rival Russia and similarly to rebellious Iran. Certainly the people all over world were paying the prices but not governments. It was only people who are having hard times but the governments are rich and they are paying the corporations who are partners in their games. Big financial corporate and car companies are getting benefits from billions of dollars of public tax money. The corporations need money either by interests of their loans and sells they provide to people or by public tax money through bailout plans.

The most noteworthy point is that despite of global financial crises the oil producing countries had no bailout plans. The fallen oil prices pressed hardly their economics but there were no bailout plans as they were aware of the game and economical attack of the Western Coalition.

The gas producing countries like Russia, Iran and Qatar again gathered in Moscow to make an organization like OPEC to become able to cope with economic attack of Western Coalition by creating a global financial crisis. On contrary the bailout plans and financial crisis continued to keep the pressures on rivals. Let’s see! Which force will succeed in their plans and how common men survive out of clashes?

HEGEMONY OR SURVIVAL IN THE NEW CENTURY IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF CONFLICTS

"Whoever commands the sea, commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of world, commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself.".....Walter Raleigh, Sr.

INTRODUCTION:-

It is a common practice to relate the power with economy and likewise hegemony with economy. Yes, it is true that economy is the binding force in the human relations of any category but it only represents one face of the coin. The next face of the coin is politics, which rotates around some issues that are based on a theory or a belief. The politics and economy’s relation is like relation of particle and wave. Just as particle and wave is the dual nature of matter that we can’t separate them. Similarly politics and economy are the dual nature of any human society and we can’t separate them. In economy we always see the differences between profits and losses but never of defeats and victories. In politics we speak of victories and defeats as it is rely on some sort of the issue. Both of the two sets of terms are interchangeable. In both defeats and losses one loss support and trust and in case of victory and profit get support and trust but one thing is common in both of the sets as everlasting and that is experience. These experiences shape the growing theories and beliefs.

DISCUSSION:-

Followings are the postulates of the discussion.

1. Conflicts are the intrinsic part of the human society as human societies are the sets of live people and hence grow.
2. Anything that grows, changes.
3. Life has two unique characteristics. First it reproduces and second it passes the changes to next generation.
4. Politics always rely on some issue.
5. The issues in politics are always relating to some sort of the ideology or belief.
6. Politics and economy are the two binding forces of the human society.
7. Politics and economy are the two faces of the same coin.
8. Politics and economy are the two means through which men compete each other over resources.
9. The main objective of the competition is growth.
10. Though the men have common virtues but there are no two ideologies or beliefs that are not in conflicts about the virtues.
11. All the ideologies and beliefs have followers and believers either they are good or bad in ones judgment in all times though the number varies.
12. The ideologies and beliefs grow according to the growth of the human societies. New perspectives of ideologies and beliefs always accompany the growths.
13. The experiences that men get from the results of the political and economical conflicts shape the growths of ideologies.
14. New perspectives of the ideologies and beliefs are the bases of the new political and economical conflicts.
15. The loss in the popularity is the not the death of an ideology but it will be reintroduced with a new perspective.
16. It is an accepted fact that the conflicts under rules and regulations is beneficial for both of the opponents and open conflicts without roles and regulations are dangerous for both opponents.
17. The levels of danger and benefits are directly proportional to the levels of the growth.
18. the globalization, especially in terms of the economics made all the political events of global level impacts.
19. As the beliefs and ideologies are the bases of the political activities hence beliefs and ideologies of any significance have global impacts.
20. The ideology/belief, economics and politics are the three main characters of the global impacts, which will define future both in terms of the dreams and nightmares.
21. The dreams of an ideology/belief will be the political and economic dreams of the believers and the nightmares of an ideology/belief are the political and economical dreams of the believers.
22. The political and economical conflicts shape the dreams and nightmares with new perspectives.
23. The tools of the globalization are means of communication, trade and education.
24. The tools of globalization shape the global civilization.
25. The mismanagement of the globalization tools result in the forms of global dangers.
26. The growth of the nuclear, biological, chemical weapons and mass psychological torture techniques are the tools of the anti-growth.
27. No nation with any capability can resist the impacts of the globalization.

RESULT:-

In the 21st century human being has to decide whether they want the global civilization or the global destruction.

CHOOSING THE GLOBAL CIVILIZATION

INTRODUCTION:-

As the global trade, global communication and global education are the tools of the globalization, hence their handling will shape the future of the humanity. There must be global the rules and regulations on the bases of the equality to handle these tools. Global democracy is the future of mankind but it must be based beyond of the ideologies, beliefs and regionalism by accepting them as facts. The most practical type is this global democracy is the based on the trade and profession instead of old and present democracies which are based on the ideologies and regionalism and hence are always make divisions and threatens men to dangers of wars. Every profession and trade must have local parliaments and the hence the global parliament. All the professions global parliaments make the global parliament.

Global democracy
Global parliament
Global profession parliaments
Local profession parliaments

The idea of the profession parliaments is based on one common point and that is growth. All the fields of knowledge, all ideologies, all religions and beliefs aim to human growth. If human growth is the common point acceptable to all without any difference so we have to base the global civilization on this common point. This civilization has very clear objective, which is common to all human being.

Each profession has its own problems, technicalities, requirements and their roles in the human growth. Hence no one else can help them better than themselves to help each other to solve their problems and also enhance their capabilities to enhance human growth and less and lessen the dangers and side effects.

THE NEED FOR GLOBAL ELYSIUM MOVEMETS (GEM)

As earlier said that the tools of globalization are communications, trade and education, which shape the future of global civilization. Hence there is a strong need to work for a global mechanism, which regulate the global freedom of trade, global freedom of education and global freedom of communication and provide surety and guarantee every human kind his/her rights and duties as global citizen regardless of race, language, region, status, gender, beliefs and ideology. Every global citizen has the freedom to participate in the global democracy through the local profession parliament. Every global citizen has the freedom to acquire as many trade as many he/she is able to acquire and has the ability to put his/her shares.

THE BASE OF GLOBAL CIVILIZATION

INTRODUCTION:-

All the fields of knowledge, all the ideologies and beliefs have the same objective and that is human growth. If human being succeeds to achieve this objective then the human being will become immortal and perfect, as they will be able to govern all the laws, which govern the universe. There will be no destructive thinking or imagination or destructive tools as all the destruction are due to flaws. Flawless men with flawless knowledge can’t imagine, think, intend and act wrongly. Though these all looks impossible and totally imaginative but these are the objectives of human beings. The common scientific theories certify and predict this objective of human being as achievable and ultimate decision of the nature. I have named this common objective of human being as ELYSIUM. This is the base of human being.

Analyzing radicalization

The world is changing both by designs of global authorities to deepening their rules and by empowering of people. Now it almost eight years that people of world is hearing about the war on terror and fighting radicalization. Certainly we have seen acts and counteracts and now we are in a position to analyze it by keeping in view events and their consequences. We can compare the rival forces in these social tensions. While western countries are allied against terrorism and radicalisms and they have some allies in Asia also. In this war the people of West seem not active in social and political processes. Contrary to them some parts of the Muslim countries are looking active despite of the inactiveness of their governments. There may be several interpretations and analysis of events according to interests and positions in this war but it is important to analyze them in perspective of events linked with each other to gain some historic perspectives and mechanism of change in view of emerging technologies and knowledge.

It is an accepted fact that emerging technologies have empowered people not only by improving economical and social status of people but also educational and expressional levels of people. Economical and educational improvements along facilitations in expressions and communications have made people an inevitable partner in sharing of power. The people want their voices heard and their representatives stand for their voices. Certainly people first look to their governments both for their voices and stand on it. The political parties are also means for the voices of people and their stands but if both governments and political parties failed to hear the voices of people and stand for them people look to alternatives. Certainly any group of people with clear goals and daring and means to hear voices of people and stand for them will emerge as alternatives. These groups in first stages refer existence but for sure by preparing grounds they tend to take a hold on power. Government is the last mean to deliver promises they make to people. Though these groups emerge as a result of failure of the governments and political parties to hear the voices of people and stand for them but still if these groups have no social welfare program the people soon fade up of them and will turn against them. But if these groups develop capability to not only hear voices of people and stand for them but also social welfare program to improve the livelihood of people they will get wide acceptance. This is not a hypothesis but the situations in previous eight years made them evident to the people of world. Now we come to some examples for our claim. We divide the groups emerged as an alternative to governments and political parties into two groups:

1- Successful groups

2- Failed groups

1- Successful groups:


The groups in this category though different from each other and operate in different regions for different objective but they have some factors in common that categorize them in this group:


a- They emerged as a result of failure of governments and political parties to hear the voices of people and stand for them.

b- Resistance to occupying forces is the core of their identity and organization.

c- They have social welfare programs beside resistance which make strong trust and confidence of people in them.

d- They call for unity and political reconciliations to work for common objectives.

Certainly these features have made them popular among the people for whom they stand. They are standing firm despite international pressures and sanctions. Though authorities and so called public representatives are not welcoming them in open due to love of their positions and their international compulsions but they also accept the effectiveness of these groups. These groups are the examples of current political, economical analysts to understand the role of technological and economical empowerments in lives of people. Surely empowered people of modern age behave from ideologically motivated people of previous century. In 20th century the people in West were ideologically motivated and hence the Socialist revolutions and nationalist movements led to technological and economical empowerments of people as well as clashes which resulted into international organizations like United Nations and World Trade Organization. In 21st century there is understandable silence over western people but people in east are motivated. Though these is international pressures on governments to prevent public upraises but alternative forces are on work to shape the political and economical history of 21st century. Some famous organizations are included, Hezbollah of Lebanon, Jaish Al Mahdi of Iraq, Hamas of Palestine, Islamic court of Somalia.

2- Failed groups:

Though these groups emerged due to failure of governments and political parties and were raised for voices of people and stand for them but as they made violence their primary tool and they had no welfare programs as well as no unity and political conciliation for common goals. The oppressing nature and violent strategy and the radical stands and beliefs made them rootless in people. Some of these groups like Mujahidin of Afghanistan and Taliban made governments but their governments failed and made their ideologies unacceptable to people as they were biased, based on fear and violence and lacking programs of social welfare and conciliation. The Al-Qaida couldn’t reach to power as they were totally based on violence, non-tolerance, biased strategy and radical ideology.

Conclusion:


Weak governments and non-professional democratic political parties are incapable to hear the voices of people and stand for them. The governments need to make themselves capable of delivering the promises they make to people. For making this able the political parties need to be changed. Political parties need to shape their organizations like organizations of governments and make professional people lead these specialized parts of political organizations that they become able not only to hear the voices of people and stand for them but also train people and make policies that when they come to power they could deliver the promises made to people. These kinds of political parties not only make strong governments but also prevent originating alternative groups. If we make a quick look on the difference of the political parties and alternate groups, one difference is very evident and clear. The political parties lack organizations and capabilities to work out of governments and deliver promises they make to people. On contrary the alternate groups are well organized with professional and devoted people who are able to deliver the promises they make to people. Similarly, as army is a self reliance organization with specialized fields led by professional people so dictators who rule by force of army are more successful than political parties which lack professional people and specialized organization. The only answer to radicalization is to restructure the political parties by law to make them able not only answer cultural calls but also provide social welfare benefits and stand for their people’s voices.

Scientific aesthetics

Beauty, truth and uniqueness are the foundation of an aesthetics and Science is filled with these three factors so we can categorize the aesthetically parts of nature that science brings to us as scientific aesthetics. Both Scientific ideas as well as what science reveals to us are unique and beautiful. Scientific ideas are much special as not all are attracted to them because they require a level of understanding and mental labor to appreciate them. But still the worlds that Science reveals is appealing to all. Unique creatures of deep oceans, insect world, unique plants and trees, world of galaxies, stars, planets and moons and microscopic world are all what all get puzzles and attracted to them. It is my common experience as a lecturer of geology that rocks, minerals attracts all but fossils and petrologic microscope puzzle students and it takes time to become noraml and out of puzzlings. But a researcher who knows the underlying facts and can reconstruct mentally will never stop puzzling and discovering the hidden parts of nature that science reveal to him.

Lets have an aesthetic tour,

1- Unique insects:



2- Unique sea life:



3- Unique organisms of past:



4- Unique plants:



Granite is beautiful decorative rocks that is used in building constructions and decorative industry. But crystals in granite do not change colors. It is not right under crossed nicols in petrographic microscopes. See the following video to observe the changing of colors. Is not aesthetic?



6- Unique telescopic world:

Spirituality is real individualism

Spirituality is expressed in forms of wisdom. Wisdom is a level of spiritual experiences that one encounters. However, spirituality and religion is two different experiences. A quick look to any religious belt of any religion we find soulless and spiritless followers who follow the religion as a habit or identity by born or following blindly the instructed ways. Everyone has spirit but spiritual experiences are rare. Spirit is pure wisdom, which could be experienced by revealing of self through meditation. Spiritual experiences are satisfied moments of life which fills minds and hearts with pleasure and satisfaction. Individualism is a frequently used term which later on got the label of existentialism. Both individualism and existentialism are mere philosophical terms which were highly debated and popularized but without any workable methodologies or clearly defined parameters. The freewill and responsibility of consequences to accept what one is, is a confused effort to convince all to bind with nothing. Spirituality is a real individualism, as at its first step, it is the revealing of self. Both individualism and existentialism could be expressed in many forms. It could be debated in favor or against it but to experience what one is, is the practice of spirituality.

It is an open fact that spirituality is expressed in forms of wisdom but how spirituality is practiced? How can one communicate with his spirit? There are many different forms of spiritual movements which are based on different forms of believe but all have some common aspects and that is, “Bodily needs are barriers to spiritual experiences. Human experiences rely on five senses and five senses have limits which confuse us to levels of deceiving”. To maximize feelings and experiences to more precision, it is required to control the bodily needs to required needs or to do justice to bodily needs along with meditations.

An individual asked a spiritualist, “What do you expect of illiterate persons to meditate and think to. For example, what a shoe maker has to think and meditate about?”

“Certainly, everyone meditate and think through his work, profession and knowledge. A carpenter can meditate and think best with wood works, metallurgist through metals and a philosopher through philosophy” replied the spiritualist.

Hence meditations and controls of bodily needs to just needs to maximize the experiences and feelings to precisions of senses are common to all and to reveal how they are. As the level, scope and dimensions of every individual are unique to individual, so spiritual experiences are also unique to individuals hence spirituality is the real individualism. The divisions that individualism are anthropocentric or human-centered and spirituality is God-centered is a fake division as human is creation of God so humans are expression of creation and are related or linked to God. When we say realize yourself as you are, in fact we are realizing the creation of God. On contrary we communicate to God, in fact we are linking to ourselves as our communications are circling around ourselves. Hence realizations, expressions, communications, acceptance, etc are ending to the same goal.

Wisdom is the product of realizations, communications, etc to self and God irrespective of the starting points. How are we certain enough about the spirituality as a face of wisdom? Spirituality is product of reason and practice. We can call it spiritual dialectic just like Hegel’s thesis, antithesis and synthesis, the spirituality is a synthesis of reasons and practice. What we are calling reason, is the principles to which a spiritualists are bounded while practicing spirituality. Why a spiritualist practice bounding to certain principles? It is just like a game where players, play under certain rules to be judged. In spiritualist practices, one is bound to certain principles to judge himself or know what he is? Certainly one is not so shallow that could understand self just by certain choices but one can understand self when one start an adventure of self. All the principles which make the practice, rational are based on calculated discipline which is justice to self and society. One can call it natural morality, which measures behaviors. Here the self become evident by resisting the natural morality. Keeping all these in view, the spirituality becomes an adventure to discover self but not randomly. It is an adventure under reason and by practice. Similarly, knowledge is ability to judge so adventure in discovering self make the judgment strong so the spiritual become a source of wisdom and wisdom is a level of spiritual experience. Judgment, discovery and synthesis are core of wisdom and tools of spirituality. Spirituality’s motivation is love but it is not a blind love. It is a competitive love based on principles to discover self.

Conclusion: Though, spirituality is driven by love but is based on principles to discover self. As self is unique to individuals so we can’t delineate the spiritual experiences. What is certain is that we can benefit from its products and that is wisdom.
