While the majority would agree with you and it may be that there actually is no more practical solution than that.. I do know that we need to increase consciousness and that punishment is not a necessary part of learning. Part of the cycle of abuse here is that trauma and punishment are repeatedly generating ever more dis-trust, lack of respect and unconscious/conscious intent for revenge. Healing, balancing and evolving prevents re-occurrence of the problems - but I don't think it is wrong to remove access to resources and to limit freedom while such a process is undertaken. In other words, maybe mental hospitals are more appropriate than prisons. I am not 100% sure on that.
In terms of the practicalities of who will do any action - we have a problem, in that it is clear that the corruption reaches right into all institutions that might act to do so. This is part of why I favour a 'bottom up' approach of enlightening everyone, including children, as to the full details of what has been going on here - such that everyone in society can work together to do what is needed (without society turning into a nightmare of neighbour spying and fear).
All very good points @ura-soul, I used to think that we can attain a better world through educating and enlightening from a 'bottom up' approach, however, the more I've observed, the more I've seen justice elude those in the upper echelons of "society" due to factors such as wealth, rank & status, personal, business, and familial connections, and positions within secret societies or occult orders.
At a certain level, those are doing a "job" of investigating or prosecuting always get stifled in their attempts because they take their orders or receive a paycheck from someone else above them. The wealthy and powerful protect one another and heinous crimes against humanity continue to go on with impunity. If they are hit simultaneously from the bottom and the top, there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. They would be caught in the middle of a worldwide uprising, crushed under the weight of their own institutions and machinations of their own device.
They do not fear us but how will things be if they suddenly did fear what is coming?
People's actions are motivated by the duality if pain and pleasure in that they do things because it gives them pleasure or they avoid doing things because it causes pain, whether it be of a physical, emotional/mental nature, or spiritual. A psychopath or sociopath commits his/her atrocities because they derive pleasure from them, not because they fear repercussions. They know that there has been nothing standing in the way...
I agree that the focus of power into a small number of hands is part of the issue - but much of that power is being stolen from many other people who do not know it has been stolen. Part of the benefit to global empowerment is that the power then is returned to its right places. Ultimately, whatever works is fine - but I am just aware that caution is needed to not to make the problems worse as an attempt at 'fixing' them, since this is what humanity has been doing all along and giving it an air of respectiblity.
