A little short on specifics. But (with a little work) can be adapted to most contexts.

very supreme..
supremo..
near-utopian..

[The time has come for us to stand against the challenges] - as if the lobbies which decide the NWO..would take a nap like the hare and would let the third world go ahead past of them and things would change..?
wake up author..

things are different now..if economic growth is wanted - feed the lobbies at one cent from every input / income..

if u come up to give the example of Malaysia - how the people prospered. Prospering of the people is the wrapper of what is insiduous and what has been done on the inside.
Although Mahatir stood out to be different and callous against the American interests, but it was suprising to see the Big B a.k.a Uncle Sam not budged from his seat - was it Mahatir`s victory or was it the fly in the afternoons for Umreekeez..?

Game gets different when diplomacy steps in.

What do you have to say of Africa - although they share many things - colour, droughts, cultures; but they are made to slit the throats of their neighbours..but why..?
Simple; Democracy - democracy needs skulls to survive upon and drive its machines crunching beneath them.

As Walter maintains -
``No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short
ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate
people.``

Herman -
``Inundated from early childhood with government
propaganda in public schools and educational
institutions by legions of publicly certified
intellectual, most people mindlessly accept and
repeat nonsense such as that democracy is self-rule
and government is of, by, and for the
people.``

So stop dreaming of driving, prepare to be driven everyday. The hare wins not the turtle.
