"The behaviour of a system arise from its structure"--John D. Sterman, Professor of Management at MIT

"The corruption of privatisation arise from the Free Market"--Mario deSantis

I have been writing about the lying of the Bush administration and their patriotic wars against terrorism. Today, the White House is under the investigation of the Justice Department for the allegation that staff members leaked the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame, wife of ambassador Joseph Wilson, a critic of the Bush's war against Iraq. It is certain that a traitor must have leaked this information, but what is most important is the realisation of a world gone mad.

Let me say that the economic preaching of privatisation is at the centre of this world gone mad.

Iraq has been liberated and its business is for sale under the direction of the occupying American forces. There is an understanding that money laundering in the global economy could have been in the order of US$3 trillion in 1999, half of it in North America, that is close to 10 percent of the total World Gross Product of some US$30 trillion for the same year.

Think about who can afford to buy public assets through their privatisation. I can't buy anything because I am poor and have no governmental friends, but certainly rich people owning legitimate or criminal businesses are the ones which profit from the privatisation of public assets. For example, in Russia, Mikhail Khodorkovsky became the richest man in that country after he formed the oil company Yukos out of the privatised assets of the old Soviet Union and while the economy declined 40% and poverty increased tenfold in the period 1991 to 1999.

Journalist John Pilger has just released the video 'Breaking the Silence: Truth and lies in the war on terror' and he documents another story of Bush's war against terror and it is frightening. The Bush administration is caught lying, Afghanistan is not being rebuilt and the contention that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction was a charade. The conventional media is deceptive and we all should watch John Pilger's video as he let the truth speak for itself.

It is becoming clear to me that privatisation is a major structural cause of this divided world where war is the ultimate resort for expanding the American privatisation of the Free Market.
