Reply To: Debt Rattle Sep 15 2014: The Yin and Yang of Growth and Power

[Dr. Diablo]

It’s always illuminating to see WHICH atrocity we care about at any given time. The flavor du jour is ISIS, of course, whereas what happens in Africa is never important enough to bother with–unless like last year in Sudan, oil is found there and China is edging in on it. Basically, if psychopaths EVER claim to care about ANY human deaths, you have to ask yourself why this one, this time, and not the ones they themselves wantonly cause. (2,400 dead by drone, including over 200 children, anyone? More killed by cancer from airport x-rays than were killed in 9-11? 100,000 or more to be killed by health effects of Corexit in the Gulf? Deaths in an abandoned Detroit from crime and poverty?)

So you can be sure, if deaths are in the news, and we are “shocked” and “appalled”, that it’s been carefully placed for geopolitical staging and advantage. We’re not here for your health. We don’t care about your life. Only directing your focus to OUR ends, our wealth and power.
