If we were all rich, it would only be a matter of time before we were all poor, as there wouldn't be anyone left to exploit for our ends.
So this brings forth the fact that obviously there had to be someone to make someone else flourish.
Now, lets go back in history, to a time when we all lived on our own land of birth, before man made a journey to other lands and told and therefore taught men of those lands how they live on theirs.

In Africa {a continent with one of the worlds richest amount of minerals and resources - but ironically, the poorest of all nine} it was believed there were spirit gods abundant within the trees in the forests. Within this belief was bred a nation that conquered canons and riffles with, merely, spears and strategy.

In India, the practice and belief of mantra and chi, brought enlightenment to men who could accomplish the perceived physically impossible {question is perceived by whom?}.

In the Aztec world, now known as Mexico, forms of government were being implemented. The very same forms of government which are practiced poorly today {who stole the Aztec peoples belief of impeaching a leader who wasn't advancing the interests of his own people}. How ironic it is that now the Aztecs descendants, Mexicans are now amongst the poorest (what happened?). when a people are are developing and all of a sudden, superimposed on them are new ways of doing things, their development ( in their own style and culture - if you will) is hindered while their style is taken and used in an inferior manner. With this new way of doing things comes being humbled, and a humbled soul may easily be exploited without resistance. In native America, there was belief upon the spirit world, which led to rain dances, which were most frequently followed by down pours which led to highly fruitful vegetation in a beautiful well nourished land (who inhabits this land now, is it still the same people?)
You may ask...how can i say, 'stole the belief'? My answer is, if you believe in something that isn't of your rooting - are you not stealing it?

Back to the matter at hand.

In the Amazon, a place dominated by dangerous beasts and lethal insect with venom to which cures are unknown, live and flourish a number of tribes which sacrifice animals and even some of their own, to whom they call God, as they believe he is responsible for their sustained survival. Their practices are regarded as taboo (by whom, God or ####, because surely if it were God he would have disposed of them by now, right?)

In Italy are some of the most exquisite bridges and architectural structures, structures which took years to build and therefore required the weathers compliance so the buildings could solidify...(so what...could they command the weather?)

The Egyptians extraordinary mathematical theories and golden ratios are used till this day, but for how long has this intelligence aided the people who discovered it? The ancient scrolls and scribes discovered in Egypt (who interprets their meaning and how well can we believe that's what they intend).

In the west, what was happening reveals a shocking reality. Plans of sailing the seven seas and trekking the continents. What happens when these plans are implemented, is (as the people implicated say) history.

Note: Who or what you believe in will determine how mentally inslaved,
brainwashed (and therefore oppressed) you are.
