Terry took the silence as acquiescence, __he other way to make money is to exploit people, oh, no sorry, that__ the __nly_ way to make money, exploit other people, that__ how the billionaires have acquired all their money by exploiting others_ So how did they achieve it? You__e going to love this_ they changed all the rules to accommodate what they wanted to do. How I hear you ask_ easy, they own the politicians, they own the banks, they own industry and they own everything. They made it easier for themselves to invest in so called emerging markets. What once would__e been considered treasonous was now considered virtuous. Instead of building up the nation state and its resources, all of its resources, including its people, they concentrated on building up their profits. That__ all they did. They invested in parts of the world where children could be worked for 12 hours a day 7 days a week, where grown men and women could be treated like slaves and all for a pittance and they did this because we here in the west had made it illegal to work children, because we__ abolished slavery, because we had fought for workers_ rights, for a minimum wage, for a 40 hr week, for pensions, for the right to retire, for a free NHS, for free education, all of these things were getting in the way of them making a quick and easy profit and worse _had been making us feel we were worth something.

Let__ de-bunk some of this, shall we? Myth 1_ Kings and Queens are divine beings _ rubbish. Kings and queens of old were murdering bastards who ruled with a rod of iron. Myth 2 _ the rich prosper out of godliness _ more rubbish. They gained their wealth by royal patronage and taxing and stealing from the masses. Myth 3 - the poor are poor because they__e depraved _ yet more rubbish. They__e poor because of their naivety and childlike belief in, oh yes, Kings and Queens, the Church and the order of things. Finally, Myth 4 - women are evil and deliberately seductive _ the biggest nonsense of all. Women are sexually attractive to men because they are the opposite sex to men; it__ not hard to see, is it? It__ the same for every species on the planet, you can see it in any mating ritual on the Discovery channel but this truth has been reversed and buried under the eternal lie fostered upon us by the church. That__ what the bible has achieved and that__ why our society is divided and divided again. That__ why we are never working as one, because religion was designed to divide and rule the masses,_ she broke off and looked deliberately round the room, __ut the big question is, for what purpose and by whom?

The matted straw cover of the latrine was yanked away. The sun blinded me as I looked up at the dark outline of two young soldiers in tattered camouflage, their uniforms made for men bigger than they were.

I could see the two gold teeth of one of them as he grinned.Gold-tooth reached down and grabbed my hair, yanking me up by it until he could get the other hand under my arm and pull me the rest of the way. I screamed in terror. He pulled me away from the pit as he and the others held their noses and laughed hysterically. One held each arm and dragged me to the river__ edge. They tore off my loose cotton dress; I had no underwear on. After howling with laughter and firing guns in the air, they crudely touched my body.
