Dr.D. I cracked up at your quip “three wolves and a sheep voting on who’s for dinner”. It’s what’s life is all about under Plantation regimes sold as democracies.
Except we don’t have any power voting against perpetual wars, Goldman Sachs, the corporate State or foreign control of Congress.
Ditto for Euro proles. Tip of the hat to ya for turning the table on this:
“They proceeded to seduce voters with fake facts and bogus promises. They stoked fears, fuelled grievances and inflamed prejudices. They appealed to the lowest human impulses, and unlocked the ugliest features of the British character – xenophobia, jingoism, aggression, insularity, arrogance and a perverse, pig-headed pride in our own ignorance.”
The EU is rotten to the core and can’t collapse fast enough for me or for many freedom loving folk that have been trampled by it anyway.
That the UK is falling apart under the stress of a challenge that is not prepared to take on, is not an entirely bad thing as it hasn’t yet lost its imperial hubris bombing here and there at will and “punching above its weight” as David Cameron once said or the current MOD head running his mouth with the threat of showing China who’s boss. Cringe worthy. It might take a full on collapse for this has-been empire to register its place in the real world: an American style suburbia/car dependent infrastructure spawned under the former oil abundance of now depleted North Sea oil fields yet it carries an energy burden on the whole system, the industry that Hitler didn’t bomb, vacated by the other parasitic “industry” that skims the top, banking and finance, 66 million that can not feed themselves, sleeping with the enemy within…good luck with that. It used to be an island fortress, now it looks to me more like an island presidium a-la-Alcatraz.Way to go Raul! The only column of this kind I read these days in my daily web surfing. You hit it right on the nail, as usual, hard. All the best.
Ours may not be Lange’s or Rothstein’s era modern Hoovervilles nothwithstanding, we live in a nice Potemkim village time though. Take away the ETB cards and we’re gonna wish it’s 1936.
For in 1936 the country was still chuck full of natural resources. The people themselves were very resourceful. The traditional American values of family, thrift, grit and hard work were there. People died of hunger. Yet the goobmint was able to keep it hush hush.
The day reality asserts itself and the dollar ceases to be the reserve currency of the world and we have to live within our means, the midnight crowds waiting in line at Waltmart for their ETB funds to post and load up on sugary and glyphosated crapola food, it’s gonna be a lotta fun!
I won’t hold my breath though, for that fun to include an outcome where the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas, the Ben Bernankes and Lloyd Blankfeins and Jamie Dimons of this world swing from a light pole. Wet dreams tend not to come true.
Ilargi, just today, while listening to National Propaganda Radio I couldn’t help but smile in listening to this one reporter from “The Marketplace” give a rosy report about the state of R.E. and mentioning only in passing that “Blackrock has cut down a little bit on their property buying”. The level of deceit even in public radio is disgusting.
