The most important event for the near future would seem to be the meeting of the eight heads of state of the most industrialized countries – the G8 – to discuss the formulas and measures to be taken to achieve globalization. This is the hottest topic in the media, especially given the protests that certain more or less peaceful groups intend to stage, as they have done on other, similar occasions with disastrous results.
The motivations and arguments adopted by these people, in both good and bad faith, are manipulative and demagogic, advanced by those who have discovered the way to take center stage and earn some notoriety, and it is strange, very strange that noted Church officials are getting into this dangerous habit.
For example, proposing cancellation of the debt of poor countries is redundant, since it is merely an accounting move; in fact, the countries in question are completely unable to pay off their debt. An old popular saying went, “There are three powers: the Pope, the King, and he who has nothing.” Therefore, more than canceling debts, what is needed is to propose and achieve concrete programs to aid the old debts in order to keep other debts from being added, obviously for the good of the poor countries, which we are very concerned about, and also for our own good, which no one thinks about.
Another slogan dear to the ecologists is “environmental pollution.” Seized by the delirium of omnipotence, they think they can extend and modify the Earth’s journey through the Universe, and they don’t realize how little we know – nothing – about the cosmic rules that affect the life of the planet and determine the succession of eons. This delirium leads scientists to upset Nature, even eliminating the procreative function of mankind while at the same time being concerned about atmospheric pollution, theorizing that mankind should live in a perpetual Eden. Delirium and inconsistency pervade the society of the Third Millennium; in any event, mankind will determine the end of the Earth: that’s not a hope, it’s a certainty.
