This is continuation of my previous article as I felt writing to much at one time on one topic will make me to much depressed as its horrifying when you realise and see the macro picture of things happening around you.
Few weeks back I was reading a few books on aid to developing countries and along with stories of group's of people opposing that and I realised that how mean world has become, I wondered to what extent can we go for our benefits. Lemme start explaining with small issues and then I will take on bigger one's as I move forward when I unfold my horror( which I realised when I thought a little bit and saw the co-relation in everything instead of a co-incidence)
Lets start with topic of Dams yes Dams not small ones but Big Dams. Have you ever realised that how many new Big/Huge Dams have been recently built in so called developed countries? Ok, lemme tell you None/Zero rather they are dismantling there huge dams but Hey they are funding the construction of same Big Dams in developing nations but why then they are dismantling there's ? Why ?
Sorry, I have been asking to much and explaining very less, so lets start. when I came to know about this fact I decided to do some research. I found that during past few decades it has been proved by statistical analysis that big dams are more harmful than being beneficial. The amount of ecological damage they cause is more than the benefit we reap. but catch is not there. Further research reveals that all these projects in developing countries are funded through world bank and one of these developed nations extend funding under world bank as a loan.
But wait who is giving us loan a developed nation (with interest on so called aid). But did you just realised that all the technology to built a big Dam comes from developed nations, we pay their companies to built it for us, to do survey for us. so in short apart from loan we pay back we also pay more than 70% of loaned amount as equipment expenditure or survey amount to one of these developed countries. I know what I just wrote doesn't make sense in first go but just think over, its a vicious circle of these so called developed countries. Say US gave loan but surveyors are from UK and equipmentis from Japan, next time around loan is from Japan and equipment from US and survey from some other developed, and surprisingly all these surveys approve these projects in initial reports but later when pursued by NGO's and Independent reviewers have always dismissed the findings of initial reports and it has been reported again and again on each of these new Big Dams being built.
Now lemme to swiftly take you through the second issue which I want to mention. The issue of nuclear energy is very similar. You can see all similarities there. I will just ask one question why are these so called developed nations selling nuclear energy why not advanced wind technologies, why not solar, why not tidal, why not ? I won't explain but will let you think.
Finally I think I have gathered courage to say what I want to say. I wrote a line in my last article when I spoke about terror attacks that "it was our self who killed our self". Yes I meant to said something but needed more to explain before I go to real meaning of that line.
I want to take you just few decades back, just few not very much and ask a question which is a open secret, who created so called jehadis/terrorists? Who trained them in guerilla warfare? Who gave them those sophisticated weapons? But wait I know you have only one answer but no its all of us. Its like we nurtured a snake, gave him milk and now it has grown up and biting us only. But why did we do that in first place? Have you thought about that?
I would say the leaders of developed countries who created and nurtured these terrorists anywhere in world whether it was Afganistan or whether leftist terrorists of south america, Africa. They had an awesome vision because they knew if they don't create these people there countries wont be in demand in future anymore. Its very simple no one will need new weapons, no new security systems, biggest of all where will they do their diplomacy if nothing happens like this. I won't say that these countries haven't suffered, yes they have but who have suffered its common man who has suffered.
Its the same innocent common man who suffers loss every time whether it was bombing on WTC or attack on school in Russia where 300 children were killed or bombings in Madrid or terror attack in Mumbai or London or whether an innocent man whose everything was destroyed in a bombing in pursuit of these terrorists some where in ravines of Afganistan or Iraq or some other nation, in-fact we don't even know how many houses are getting destroyed the very moment I am writing this. But one thing is common to all this it is the stupid innocent common man who suffers every time.
I know it sounds to intriguing when I write all this but doesn't it seem very unusual to you that why any time anything happens around the world, some way or other these developed nations are linked to it. Isn't it too big for a coincidence to be like this.
I would also say what drove me to finish this essay was few news articles which I read, few new findings which I came through. First with the news I will start, I read "India can still strike in Pakistan: US report", now what does this report mean. they just want to flare up the tensions so that both countries increase their defense spending and become more dependent on these developed nations( at this moment I don't words to express my anger). Now about my new finding, I found recently many countries signed a pact on Ban on use of cluster bombs, but did anyone saw those list of countries lemme tell you it contains Afganistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Chad, leaving apart UK and Germany none of the so called super powers or wana be super power countries sign it. It seems a joke to me and again the same feeling of disappointment.
I will wrap this article now because there is endless number of things to write about, once you realise the macro picture of things happening around you. I will just say World is a circus and run by some nations but time will change, people will rise again and there will be peace and harmony again.
