The world without clientelism
We hate our politicians but we are no different. A friend of a friend knows a friend and he or she takes care of you getting a job as a janitor. This is where the clientelism starts. Not only job opportunities, promotions, and stealing from public resources, but the whole political system is based on…

The super-rich are less moral than we are
Some people claim that if ordinary people were in positions of the super-rich they would be immoral as well. Because of the given status, they would have. In this article, I claim that the super-rich interest groups controlling America are less moral than ordinary Americans are (if we put them into such a position). If…

Hell of politics. People are just like animals waiting to be slaughtered
Even if we admit the narrative the mainstream media present that there are just lobbyists, companies and some shady things in politics (I purposefully omitted the super-rich families, movers-and-shakers, crooks, international lobbyists and the whole patron-client system ridden through everything), this cannot be a finer example that we are just animals evolved to resolve problems…

Start-ups, the super-rich, banking, politics. Why are connections mostly harmful?
Connections can be divided into trust issues (you know well that the person would conduct the desirable way you want) and creating the possibility of anything (given the ability of the contact). Both of these can be attributed to the evolution of homo sapiens and can be useful and detrimental to humankind. After the Czechoslovakia…

What if Clinton had won? More democracy and a more peaceful world
Don’t get me wrong! The Clintons were political predators who destroyed the careers of tons of politicians. They were (or maybe are) keeping records of enemies they needed to destroy. Needless to say, politics is a cruel discipline, you will get out of the game even though it may be morally completely wrong (from the…

How a real democracy and public affairs should look like
Constitution, congress, senate, old and senile Anglo-Saxon-looking politicians calling all day to lobbyists to get money for campaigns, movers-and-shakers, crooks, super-rich families and lodges. Social media, and mass media with their own agenda, would be politically incorrect stand-up shows. Endless feuds with power structures blocking each other to the detriment of citizens. Gerrymandering, voter suppression,…

When the super-rich rule: The worst professions: politicians and journalists
Money, power, and fame. You may say that they chose it. But things are – as usual – more complicated. Since capitalism is in the absolute majority of examples ruling of the richest class, the super-rich groups (the puppet masters, the crony capitalists) are intertwined with journalists and politicians. You may say the super-rich own…

Richard Dawkins doesn’t like the British people. And they are one of the least worst
Imagine a completely different country than the Czech Republic is, better in all of aspects – big salaries, great flawless people that you like all of them, excellent justice system, orderliness, communist-like social net, capitalistic profits, very polite politics. A completely different world. I used to hold British people in high regard unless I realized…

Illuminatis. Do they really exist?
There is a huge controversy about the Illuminati. Do they exist or not? And if they do what kind of influence do they have? The Western super-rich families strongly overlap with the secretive society. And yes, they are well-organized, and their belligerence has the same culprits. Now I present you with some excerpts. Even if…

What does foreign aid mean? Bribes to local politicians! And one rich man?
Billions of dollars are flowing into the hands of developing countries. And since corruption is at large up in there the hands of the local politicians will inevitably touch it without punishment. But it is a useful way for their donating country how to exert influence over their less developed counterparts. I must emphasize that…
