ESSAY: Economic Treason

ECONOMIC TREASON

AN ACT CONCERNING THE BREACH OF PUBLIC TRUST

BY MANAGERS OF GLOBAL RESOURCES, WEALTH AND PROPERTIES

v The premise is straightforward; when parties entrusted with wise management of the planet’s resources conduct their efforts disproportionately benefiting themselves while jeopardizing the wellbeing of the rest of the global community then they have endangered the “life of the Polity” (the People) to whom they serve they have then committed Economic Treason.

v When legislators act in concert with those managers people who have laid claim to protecting the public trust they too, are culpable.

v There are precedents, however unsavory, that through history have been employed for these kinds of crimes; and specific methods and tools on how to punish the worst of the Transgressors.

v We do not have to be beholden to past methods to address those miscreants for what they have done to the rest of the global citizenry, It would be more thoughtful to take consideration the level and degrees of involvement of the perpetrators in order to best come to some equitable resolve.

v Seizure of Assets and equitable redistribution of ill-gotten assets; mandatory remediation, reimbursement and reparations due of stolen goods, lands, titles are in order to correct economic, social and personal injustices perpetrated by those guilty of such Crimes,.

v The penalty of Death would be more compassionate a response than what the most aggressive violators deserve. Being mandated to see their exalted positions stripped from them, may actually be a more brutal, though appropriate, beginning at compensating others for their malfeasances.

v Leave the perpetrators without protections, maintaining a very public address without any interventions or resources to ensure their safety or security. Bar them from titles, licenses, remove certifications and authority. Silence their voices and strip them of any influence they may have. Subject them to as grinding a poverty as can be imagined. Let forces they created prior take their course. The malefactors, no longer powerful, shall have to deal with their foes, opponents and enemies uninsulated.

v MEANWHILE, allocate those once tightly held assets in a more equitable manner so the rest of humankind shall benefit and prosper.

Exhibition: Pretty Pictures & Social Issues Season two ~ JULY 2024

Connecticut artist Will Brady's upcoming exhibit, "Pretty Pictures & Social Issues", on display in July 2024, at Gallery at the Wauregan, 200 Main Street, Norwich CT, promises to be both visually, and intellectually, stunning.

The show's flyer grabs attention, too. A vibrant night scene of an historic building overlooks illuminated text that reads "SLAVERY" as the opening line.

Will Brady's exhibit gives viewers both vivid detailed landscapes, floral still lifes, and illuminated texts meant to inspire while also challenging us to reflect and recognize critical issues we need to address.

Social and cultural matters: tragedies, prejudice, environmental decay, inequality; displayed in illuminated texts, akin to ancient manuscripts and scrolls, beaconing reflection on matters of import while simultaneously allowing our eyes the comfort of exquisite, detailed, collage and painted renderings.

The exhibit is on display from the end of June 2024 through end of July. A reception with the artist to be held First Friday, July 5 between 4 pm and 8 pm. Gallery hours 1:00 pm to 4:45 pm every day of the week.
