- There is only one source of power – people.

There is only one source of power – people. For example without people the multi-nationals are empty shells with no place to go and nothing to do. The multi-nationals need people to work in their companies. They need people to ‘consume’ their products. Governments and rulers hold office at the ‘please’ of the people. If 15% of the people are animated to remove a government or ruler their days are numbered - time and time again we have seen this illustrated. Wealth is defined in terms of the wants, desires and needs of the people. Power is the ability to get people to do what you want. People do not need governments to extend their reach more internationally, they merely need to stand up and be counted.
