F. A. Hayek.

Neo-Liberalism, or more precisely Neo-Economic-Liberalism, is based on the writings of Friedrich Hayek.

Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan based their campaigns for deregulation of the economies on his writings.

Hayek maintained that any regulation of the economy was equivalent to Communist Totalitarianism and therefore a violation of freedom.

This is fantasy at best.

And the implementation of his theories has resulted in the gross disparity between rich and poor in our world, the corruption of corporations and governments, the oppression of workers, union bashing, and perpetual war.

It's time to re-think our economic models.

The Role of the Fathers.

Coinciding with the emergence of the Millennial Generation there will be a change at the top.

Most of the older generation are dead and the power void on boards and in corporate management will be taken up by Baby-Boomers.

This is significant because the Baby-Boomers have a different attitude towards power.

They have Pluto exalted in Leo.

This means a creative use of power.

Also they are the first generation to embrace the prophesy of the Age of Aquarius.

Now Leo is the sign opposite to Aquarius in the Zodiac.

And opposite signs often manifest a strong relationship with each other.

Leo represents: leadership, creativity, enlightenment, magnanimity, generosity, courage, and the heart.

So they may be more cooperative with the emerging Age of Aquarius.

The goals of Aquarius are: humanitarianism, altruism, greater equality, freedom, liberalism, technology, universal brotherhood, and unconditional love.

The Baby-Boomers also have Neptune in Libra which represents: love, peace, diplomacy, harmony, balance, art, literature, and partnerships.

The United Nations was formed during the same period so we may see a resurgence of power and activity in the world body.

This all looks quite promising.

But there may are many obstacles to overcome before these things can come to pass.

The potential is there.

It is up to us what we make of it.

Demonization.

Why do the Religious Right say that Hippies and Gays are evil?

The answer is that it suits their political purpose.

This is the practice of demonization.

It is not true.

Despite the fact that Satanism exists in the rock music played by Hippies and Gay venues they are no more evil than anyone else.

The evil influence of Satanism is everywhere.

It is on T.V., in sports, and entertainment, even in the news.

It is not restricted to Hippies and Gays.

The right-wing political forces in our world have succumbed to the temptation to use their knowledge of Satanism in rock music to demonize their political enemies.

And this is their sin.

The Odd Man Out.

Now that AIDS is virtually cured what remains is entrenched homophobia.

And the majority of this is in Generation X.

Because Generation X were teenagers when AIDS hit they are the most homophobic demographic.

But now they are the odd man out.

The older generation is dying.

And Baby-Boomers and Millennials are much less homophobic.

So the hard-line prejudice shown by Generation X is a diminishing minority.

Once they realize that they are the odd man out, and they can be shown that it is fear of disease and death that inspired their prejudice, we may be able to re-educate them.

I pray for that!

Is AIDS Over?

With the development of treatments that can stop HIV from developing into AIDS.

And with the new drug PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) which can protect you against HIV.

Is AIDS over?

The new treatments have seen the diagnosis of AIDS plummet in the last decade.

So is AIDS over?

Recent developments mean that AIDS is all but cured.

Gay sex is safe again.

It now remains to re-educate the public about gay sex and homosexuality itself.

Most people are stuck back in the 1980s which saw a whole generation turn against homosexuals out of fear.

The time has come to liberate homosexuality from the prison of AIDS and restore it to equal status with heterosexuality.

The Great Depression.

It is interesting to note that the men who invented The End of History and assumed absolute power after the fall of Soviet Communism were all born during The Great Depression.

They ushered in the era of Capitalism which worships money and profit above all else.

And they have corrupted themselves to attain it.

Betraying their workers and denying climate change.

They obstruct any challenge and deceive any questioning.

They control public opinion and conspire with evil.

How could men do such things?

The answer lies in their childhood.

The fear of poverty and unemployment which dominated The Great Depression affected them profoundly as small children.

And this fear has driven then to extremes.

They never feel as if they have enough to be secure.

So they want more and more money, more and more assets, and more and more possessions without limit.

But absolute power corrupts absolutely.

And their reign has seen evil consequences.

The disparity between rich and poor is at the highest level in history.

Racism and xenophobia are everywhere.

And they exploit everyone.

But this generation is passing away.

A new generation of leaders is assuming power.

Hopefully they will not be as fearful having grown up in more prosperous times.

It is yet to be seen whether things will change.

But if something doesn't give we may see violent revolutions in the near future.
