It doesn't seem to matter to them, their greed is beyond control, they steal their countries assets, they ruin their countries economies and stash their ill gotten gains overseas.
Take Zimbabwe for instance, a country that was so rich that it was called the bread basket of Africa.
It also grew coffee, lots and lots of coffee. But the demise of proper and organised acricultural practises have seen a sharp decline in its growth.
The land was so fertile that Nestle had vast dairy herds with a yearly production of 260 million litres of milk, there are apparently only 25,000 head of dairy cows left.
But because of the mass appropriation of farms by the then president and his wife and his cronies, companies have scaled back or sold out to local businessmen and, of course, the famers whose lands were stolen have left.
And it is now gripped with a major fuel shortage and price increase. The poverty is horrendous.
That is just one country, we have it here in the UK as well, ex-politians who have left government but are still on the world's stage, advising other governments and making millions of pounds in very dubious ways.
Corruption.. on major and minor scales is every where.
Some fifteen years ago, she met a man who was not in good shape, mentally or physically.
He had worked in one of the Arab countries, his partner was a Prince of the ruling family. Their company won a large construction order and the prince demanded his 10% commission upfront, an enormous sum, which the man was unable to pay.
He was taken from his house that night, put into a jail and beaten, his torture lasted for several months. Somehow, somebody talked and the news of this got back to England.
When a very powerful woman, whom I shall not name but you are free to guess her identity, I am not talking about Mrs. Thatcher, intervened at the highest level, he was released and flown back to England, I don't write 'home' to England because he isn't English, he is a Scot.
His ex-business partner has never set a foot on British soil since that date. His magnificent home in London lies unoccupied but he was never brought to justice.
Does their conscience never tell them their behaviour is wrong, do they never see the destruction of the countries they ruin and the deprevation that they cause to their own people?
Their greed is out of control, how many suits, Hermes handbags, cars, houses, just how much money do they actually need?
And some them have a scary amount of power.. really scary power with very big bombs.
She wonders how they sleep at night and how they live their lives, knowing that someone, maybe sooner than later, might / will assassinate them and it might be done by a 'friend'.
Uhhh. What a depressing day, the nespapers are full of doom and gloom, all of it.. man made.
I am glad it is almost six of the evening clock and if I rummage about on her hair or jump down and stare into my empty bowl, she'll get the idea perhaps that yumyum should be rustled up sooner rather than later.
Well, I can but hope, can't I?
