They ruled the world for more
than half a millennium. Practically every country and people became the
subjects of their empires. As early as
the 13th Century, they started to move out across the surface of the
earth, to conquer, to rape and kill, to plunder and to rule. The Italians owned
the Northern part of Africa, the French owned many parts of Africa
as well, and so were the Germans and the smaller European states. They divided Africa
among themselves. The French also claimed IndoChina as theirs.
The Spanish went across to America and conquered that continent, and continued across
the Pacific Ocean to take the Philippines. The Portugese skirted Africa
to India and Southeast
Asia. They were followed by
the mightier Dutch who carved out Indonesia as their possession.
The mightiest of all were the
British who founded a continent to call their own, North America. They also owned the major parts of Africa,
the whole of India and many Southeast Asian countries, and further to New Zealand and Australia.
And together, they ventured
into China and shared the spoils in dividing China among themselves. From the little extention of the Asia
continent called Europe emerged a Master Race, superior than all the others,
and when united, they were supreme in many ways. They built great cities, civilisations,
great inventions, arts, culture, and modelled the world to their likings. They
lived a life of plenty as rulers of the world, owning countries, people and all
their resources and wealth.
The same great European
grouping today is near the brink of bankruptcy, a beggar of the world, begging
every where, demanding donations and charity from their conquered people, from
the countries they had plundered to live in luxury, from the colonies they once
owned and ruled, the people they once oppressed and killed
.
Saying that they were begging
is a misnomer. They don’t beg. Empire builders, the Master Race, don’t beg from
the lesser people. They are demanding to be fed, they are demanding trillions
of cash to continue their lifestyle of plenty, of being civilised and cultured
and being elegant. Hundreds of billions
or trillions have been spent to help them to live a better life while the rest
of whole live in near poverty or a much Spartan way of life. And they are not anywhere near to solving
their voracious appetite for the good life without having to work so hard for
it. They used to take from the rest of the world. And they want to take again.
The Americans, an abnormal
outgrowth of the Master Race, refused to budge or give a penny. They couldn’t
as they too are near to bankruptcy. China, a rich nation and empire of its own,
plundered and subdued to bankruptcy, all its wealth and dignity stripped, has
acquired new wealth and is also unwilling to support the lifestyle of the
Master Race that is living beyond its means, and thinking that they still owned
the world.
But some former colonies were
generous. Some were kind, like little Singapore, offering to help with a $5b loan while it could not
afford charity for its own people. Should the world, the conquered people,
extend their helping hands to their former oppressor with more money to live a
life of aplenty?
Or would this Master Race
reassert itself, rearmed and go out to conquer the rest of the world once
again, so that they can live on the labour and wealth of other people and
nations? Till today, they are still asking for money without wanting to solve
their own difficulties. What they are asking today can only last a couple of
years and they will be asking for more. There is no end to their problems and
there is no end to their asking.
What will the Master Race do
next and how would the lesser people of the world respond to their needs? For
now they are threatening the world that if they to down, they will bring the
whole world with them. That is the strength and reasoning power of the Master
Race, the new beggar of the world.
