Stop depending on foreign interventions

PAPUA New Guinea’s economic balance is being defined by a new attitude of capitalism characterised by economical hegemony.
Political colonialism is making way to ‘dollar’ imperialism.
Under fairness of trade and cooperation, foreign corporations supply their capital, techniques and professionals to provide boomerang assistance while infiltrating and exploiting our vulnerable social structures and systems to advance their colonial capitalistic agendas.
PNG should rise up to this threat and realise that we cannot depend anymore on foreign interventions to achieve our national goals and directive principles as rooted in the constitution.
We cannot continue to exist without national cohesion (politically and economically) if we are to defend and protect our national interest.
Through closer alignment of our national fundamental ideologies with PNG characters, we can be able to boldly navigate the challenges of foreign hegemony while devising the reconstruction and recovery of national dream as forged by our forefathers in their struggle for independence.
The decline and gradual demise of our national pride lies in the simple fact that we are literally unable to see eye to eye with Caucasians, Asians, Indians, Arabs and other Afros on issues of freedom and prosperity.
Though we have abundant resources, we are still at the bottom of the food chain as mere users and consumers.
There are many contributing factors but at the top is the inability of our political and intellectual elites to demonstrate superior insights and intelligence when debating national plans as in the case of the Vision 2050 trash.
Another instance of this traitorous stupidity is the continuous capitulation of our fair share of natural resource wealth to foreign capitalism.
Hope and sanity have given way to despair and anxiety.
Respect for authority and morality are waning within societies while imported ideals brainwash us into accepting inferior status in national determinations.
As a result of low self-esteem and misguided inspirations buoyed by systematic corruption, most Papua New Guineans have succumbed to dire social decline.
Capitalism is strangling the heartbeat of our nation and the ruling class is dangerously abetting its intrusive disruptive cause and effect. Restoration of PNG’s self-worth should be the cornerstone of reconstructing our nationalism and I suggest a nationalisation plan for modernisation with PNG characters.
Particular emphasis of the plan should go into restoring our divine ancestral sense of lordship and superiority. Every Papua New Guinean, regardless of social status, should have the opportunity and respect to develop his/her production means.
We should be masters of the world we want to create for ourselves and our children.
