This has to be the most important double barreled global political policy making issue of our time; yet there is no on- going mainstream media coverage or citizenry involved public media debate. If we are going to have, "citizenry involved participatory governments: of, by, and for, the people, "then we must have an adequately informed global citizenry. All citizens of all major politico-economic interest levels must be fully informed on the issues that most affect their lives. Constitutional rights arise pertaining to a reasonable equity of access opportunity to the public owned broadcast frequencies in connection with public policy and political interest advocacy! At present, there is no way provided for opposing viewpoints in mainstream broadcasting on these most important political public policy making issues of our time. This represents a government regulatory, discriminatory suppression of constitutionally protected political class interest rights, to use public owned broadcast frequencies with equity of treatment in the process of self government. Compounding these gross infringements is the new power of global corporations to bypass elected representative governments with their self-interest economic policy agreements that affect the economic and political life chances of our entire six billion, world citizenry.
Be sure to visit, People Centered Development Forums, click on, "Rights of Money versus Rights of People," and see if you agree with David C. Korten's perspective. I must say his book, "When Corporations Rule the World," is a must read. We the people are misinformed and uninformed. And, this situation will get a lot worse as the: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, corporate laws are passed.
Take a good look at the new corporate audit privilege bills in congress: Audit Privilege Laws or Corporate Dirty Secrets Laws, or Right To Know Nothing Laws. Even the press will not be able to expose the law violators! This is unbelievable legislation. Add the Multilateral Agreement on Investments and all the other global trade and corporate initiated investment agreements and you have a sovereign global dictatorship. This is a; see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil mantras, that cannot be touched by any country. Corporations will truly rule the world with these agreements that our press is allowing them to initiate and pass, largely because the global citizenry is not being adequately informed.In Conclusion:
We are only receiving the corporate perspective, and a misinformed citizenry is rendered powerless to govern in their best interests. What you do not know can hurt you big time! An informed citizenry is contingent on a mass media that not only informs, but also graphically illustrates and explains how these issues are going to affect all of us, and our posterity. We must work to reduce corporate public affairs censorship.
"We must trade in this Zero-Sum, corporate controlled win/lose equation, for a Mutual Win/Win economic policy making relationship equation, in which, all the major economic classes around the World can be transformed from losers to winners. "Our human population is projected to double in a mere fifty years; five short decades, and each and every human being must have an adequate opportunity to earn a decent living. There are some 37,000 multinational corporations, and between them, they represent four fifths of all world trade and most of the foreign investments. These global operating corporations represent 2/3rds of the world's economy. The only competition has been between them to beat each other to the lowest production cost countries. The homeland industries of most developed countries are non competitors in this economic policy relationship equation.
When corporations get all of their various economic agreements passed it will be too late for the press and for all of us to do anything to change the pandemic human disasters that will accrue. Corporate owned favorably skewed skim scam press reporting has marginalized nearly all opportunity for people to understand the horrendous consequences of Fast Tracking the present totally unfair investment, finance, and trade agreements. Also, browse the first link: Globalization versus Localization, and read the verification information on Multilateral Agreements on Investments, and corporate dirty secrets laws such as Audit Privilege Laws, and many more, that must be effectively dealt with. Why is there no comprehensive coverage of these issues by the mainstream press? As we go into the next millennium there will be no opportunity for the world's citizenry to participate in these most important of all political decision making processes. However, the destiny of all of humanity hinges on the outcome of these seminal policy making decisions that will directly affect the lives of billions of human beings worldwide.Canadian Broadcasting News
