Gold Can Protect Against the Covert-19 VirusWhat is the Purpose of a Government? Governments, despite ideological differences, tend to have similar purposes. Depending on the type of government, the ways a government meets those purposes can vary. In general, there are four main purposes of government:
- to establish laws,
- maintain order and provide security,
- protect citizens from external threats, and
- promote the general welfare by providing public services.
Government in a democracy is essentially responsible for creating and sustaining markets, enforcing contracts, protecting private property, and producing systems of education and infrastructure that allow commerce to function efficiently.
What is the Purpose of a Corporation? Business corporations are perhaps the most influential organizations in society and have long been recognized as important contributors to the wealth of societies. Governments grant corporations’ unique privileges in order to harness their great capacities to serve its needs. Yet the current narrative of the business corporation tells a different story;
- Corporations have the sole purpose of maximizing profits for shareholders.
The ways a company views its purpose are enormously consequential, not only to ensure corporate accountability, but perhaps more importantly as the architecture for value creation. Purpose is a firm’s vision for the value it seeks to create and how that value is created; it defines what the corporation is and does, whom it serves and how it contributes to the well-being of society.
In a stable and progressive society that fosters the well being of its citizenry, the priorities of government must come to the forefront. It is essential that that the corporations within that society always remain the secondary priority. It’s a rather simple concept to understand:
- Free, healthy, and educated people always end up producing real money and increased wealth.
- Money and increased wealth do NOT always end up producing free, healthy, and educated people.
This is not a debate about capitalism vs collectivism. Nothing to do with that at all. It’s a discussion of priority alignment so that the greatest wealth can be achieved as a result of free and healthy human beings. This is the proper order of things. Always has been, and always will be.
So why is it there so much discord and instability in our world these days? Why are our nations and governments so stressed out and moving in directions opposite to the will and needs of the citizenry? We have all these charities, foundations, economic forums, and so many other seemingly virtuous entities all claiming to look out for our greater well-being, but things continue to deteriorate. The
GINI Coefficient continues to keep going the wrong direction for most of us, and nation states are increasingly moving towards disintegration or revolution.
Let’s look at the G20 arrangement that the Globalists threw at us to ensure that things got better, not worse. The G20 was a product of the 1990s Asian financial crisis when the US realized that the more exclusive G7 was no longer capable of managing a global crisis on its own. Consequently, it invited the finance ministers and central bank governors of a group of 20 countries, as well as the leaders of key international economic organizations such as the IMF and World Bank, to join them in developing a response to the crisis.

Since the global financial crisis, the key states have been aggressively reasserting their sovereign rights and national prerogatives. The key and largest powers are increasingly warding off outside interference and are seeking to re-impose their prior G20 views on the world. Organizations like the World Bank and the IMF are exerting their control over the G20 agenda at key international meetings. This is despite claims that the G20 is the premier forum for international economic cooperation.
What the f-uck in going on, and why is it not working? Doesn’t a “divided we fall” policy make things worse for our world instead of better? The answer is obvious: “Yes”. So, who or what is dividing us all?
The Economic power base has indeed been shifting. Not only from nation to nation in the G20 (which is traumatic enough), but into a much more insidious structure. This latest Covid-19 pandemic debacle has really unveiled the situation in its true form. If people would only open their eyes.
In reality, our world economic structure actually does NOT look like this at all:

Top corporations continue to accrue revenues far in excess of most governments, as revealed by figures compiled by
Global Justice Now.
Comparing 2017 revenues, 69 of the top 100 economic entities are corporations rather than governments. The top 10 corporations – a list which includes Walmart, Toyota and Shell as well as several Chinese corporations – raked in over $3 trillion last year.
When it comes to the top 200 entities, the gap between corporations and governments gets even more pronounced: 157 are corporations. Walmart, Apple and Shell all accrued more wealth than even fairly rich countries like Russia, Belgium, Sweden.
Global Justice Now released the figures in order to put pressure on the British government during UN human rights council negotiations this week to take forward a new binding UN Treaty to force transnational corporations to abide by human rights responsibilities. Campaigners are calling for the treaty to be legally enforceable at a national and global level. Britain, which currently sits on the UN human rights council, has traditionally been hostile to the treaty, which is supported by Ecuador, South Africa and many other developing countries. Here is the list that was compiled in 2017

As a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic response, the situation has become further exasperated in 2020/2021 with the large tech and social media giants catapulting higher up the world economic power structure. I would love to see this year's list. I have no doubt it will reveal a direct correlation with all the increasing problems in our world - both in social instability and wealth distribution.
So, as any person can see, our world economy is actually modelled as follows:
https://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/global-corporates-600x329.jpg Once again, what is the purpose of a corporation? For our own good, why must the priorities of a corporation always remain secondary? We are not thriving under any dominant government structure – be it a democracy, socialism, or communism. We are actually all withering under the destructive effect of self-serving globalized corporatism running unchecked. These unelected and non-representative economic power houses transcend all borders and cultures. They manipulate and eat away at our collective government functions in pursuit of their sole purpose: maximizing profits for shareholders
And as they globally plunder all that has been constructed under prior nation state social management, they dispense their universal false narratives of enhanced environmentalism, sound banking, stable fiat currency, better public health, diversity, etc. Bla, Bla, Bla, … endless bull$hit leading to endless profits. These mega corporate outfits are gaining in strength because they are globalized, protected, unchallenged, and unconstrained. They will never cure or correct any social ill in an individual nation state. It is not in their mandate, so do look for them to do so.
This situation is as ridiculously obvious and bizarre as a computer geek propping up the WHO (World Health Organization) with his billions, and prancing about like an esteemed medial expert with a parroting wife and a truckload of pharmaceutical stock in tow.
Buy gold as real money. Buy real assets for wealth. Understand who is really undermining the future. Know that your elected national representatives hold no sway in the absence of economic power. Be aware of the great philanthropists of our world, getting richer and richer with each passing day, and carrying less and less tax obligations as a result of their charity.
And protect yourself against the dangers of the Covert-19 virus.
