TEN GLOBAL TRUTHS
That Nobody Dares To Acknowledge
MEDITERRANEAN 27-July-2014 | Jaime Pozuelo-Monfort
1/ Americans have the greatest standard of living in the Planet, at the expense of the rest of the planet and its exploitation. God Bless America (but what about the rest of the Planet?).
2/ Europeans are proud of defending democracy and an agenda of human rights.
However the most brutal dictatorships and most evil and violent
individuals in Human History have been European... not that long ago.
3/ Africans have been enslaved, mistreated and massacred throughout centuries. However in order to move forward towards progress and prosperity it is up to Africans to make the first step forward.
4/ Islamic fundamentalism and terror must be stopped. However we must also stop preventive war and unlawful unilateral government-led invasions that cause equal or even more harm.
5/ Drug trafficking is
an offense. But so is consumption in developed countries. If demand and
consumption are legal, so should be offer and production. One more
episode of Western hypocrisy at its best.
6/ There is no such thing as illegal immigrants. There is fear of one another, stereotypes, prejudice, intolerance, exclusion and sometimes hatred. We are all World Citizens.
7/ All religions can co-exist if we choose freedom and tolerance over dogmatism, superiority and arrogance. Muslims and Christians can embrace the Alliance of Civilizations.
8/ Free trade is important. But fair trade is equally or perhaps more important.
9/ We no longer need politicians to manage the system. We need managers, administrators, policymakers and most important we need dreamers.
10/ Bankers must upgrade the global financial system or go to hell.
