As the
populations of countries across the developed world face a brutal
attack on their living standards from the financial Mafia, we keep
getting told it is the “economy” and all this suffering is
necessary to get the economy going again. We are also told that the
American “economy” is recovering, so everything should be OK.
Well we can accept that most of the “good news” is bullshit
propaganda approaching the Presidential elections, Obama needs some
help.
Let's take the
poverty in America, it is estimated that there are more than 47
million Americans living below the poverty level, on top of that
there are approximately 5,000 people living in tent cities, with an
estimated 55 such tent cities dotted around America. The largest of
these ironically, is not that far from Disneyworld in Florida, where
approximately 300 people live in tents on a 13 acre site. Most of
these sites don't have electricity and the sanitation leaves much to
be desired. On top of that most can't even feed themselves, they rely
on charity. The BBC covers some aspects of this situation in its Panorama program.
The following extract
is another take on the American “recovery” and it is well worth
reading the full article.
The other day I was struck by this wierd feeling of deja vu. Where had I seen this kind of listlessness before? Where had I observed this sort of laggard, slumping despair? Then I remembered. It was back in Russia during the Yeltsin years. It was the exact same atmosphere: Things were shitty and getting worse. Life was shabby and dilapidated. Their rulers were corrupt and didn’t give a damn. Cosmically rich oligarchs were cannibalizing the country, and the system was so badly broken there wasn’t a damn thing anyone could do about it. Drink up. Continue reading;
This austerity is necessary for the recovery.
Like I keep on
spouting, we have to stop looking to our “own” bunch of political
crooks and liars to sort it out for us, and realise that this is an
international war. This is the world wide corporate fascists
plundering the ordinary people of the world, your “own” little
bunch of crooks and liars are not on your side. If they even hint at
improving the social fabric of society, the big financial boys will
have you down graded, grab their capital and leave, or they might
just do as they have done in Greece and Italy, suspend your so called
“democratically elected” government and put one of their henchmen
in to take charge, to get you back on the right track of austerity
and handing them the public purse.
