      From: devcarter@iinet.net.au              Joe Bloggs needs national secularism not Obama doublespeak       ============================================              What Obama / Keating / Rudd sermons on the parlous state of the world       economy discus are peripheral side show alley events- they address the       symptoms of imminent death of the current plutocratic order which       lassaire fair capitalism became. But this world order is what they       love, the only game they think they know and like good theists across       the globe they preach "responsibility" to their masters not order the       implementation of national secular policies that mandate change in a       desired direction. Theists are underlings not masters- the plutocrats       via manipulation of theists cadres run them, not the other way around.       At the head of the bunch of manipulators are the Zionist neocons-       pushing for a militarist Pax Americana abroad and a Wall Street run by       Madoffs cronies.              The game is up - no stimulus package can awaken the dead. The       alternatives of the future orders are either national secularism or       Judeo-Christian fascism- pure and simple. We know that we are on the       same disparity of wealth between the plutocrats and their underlings       that existed in 1928 just 1 year before the great depression.              Robert Reich recently gave us the numbers. The top 1% on the rich list       skimmed 8 to 9 % of total income in 1980 and by 2007 that pie had       increase to a whopping 22% of total income. He went on to say: "the       last time that the top one percent held over 20 per cent of all of       national income in a given year was the year 1928, and we know what       happened in 1929. [The beginning of the Great Depression]              In the decades since the last world war plutocracy undermined the       checks and balances to re-establish itself as the dominant political       ideology opportunistically working the business cycle and the tax       regime to its advantage- so that the plutocrats control the viable       assets and the outsiders are burdened with a mountain of unsustainable       debt.              Politicians do not address the wealth disparity issue because they       delivered to the plutocrats a neo-liberal agenda that permitted a       plutocratic hijack of the free market and ultimately a fiscal       holocaust where the underclass could be decimated by declining       fertility rates in a hundred years or so, as a new slave class       gradually recruited as immigrant labor replaced them.              To understand plutocracy you need to understand how this gigantic       ponzee or pyramid scheme evolved exploiting the business cycle with       its witches' brew of inflation and deflation, profit and debt and the       regulation of the money supply. For the rich to get richer they merely       have to ride the business cycle so they win both ways - riding the       boom and riding the bust. The underclass is the victim during the bust       -so they face either unemployment or under-employment and saving are       eaten up during recessionary times so their capital as savings is       quickly replaced with debt. Plutocracy doesn't like competitors so       what could be better for their interests than a permanently indebted       underclass that would be forever servicing existing debt on a mortgage       or a credit card even in the boom times where the equities market is       the place to invest.              Inflation and the money supply can be exploited by the plutocrats. If       interest on savings does not keep pace with inflation, Joe Bloggs       cannot save his way out of the plutocratic debt trap as ever dollar       earned at any point in time will depreciate in value over time- the       longer he takes to spend it, as real assets are gobbled up by the       plutocrats.              In Australia and other plutocratic countries, the debasement of the       national currency served the interests of plutocracy because it closed       a back door by which Joe Bloggs might protect his savings. Joe Bloggs       paper currency used to be convertible to silver coin. If he was lucky       enough to earn average weekly wages in Australia during the mid 1960's       - its silver content was approximately 43 troy ounces. His earnings       were both a monetary asset and a real asset.- the free market smelt       value of the coinage. If he had stuck his wage packet in silver coin       under the bed it would have been an asset that protected his interests       from the effect of inflation- some 43 years latter is would still be       roughly worth the equivalent of the current Australian average weekly       earnings pay packet approximately $826 in today's dollars.               Now under plutocracy's debased currency, given that paper currency is       now convertible only into virtually worthless nickel - a loss of value       due to inflation of a whooping 645% is the result had he tried to       protect assets by the same method.              The effect of the debasement of the currency by plutocracy meant that       the underclass had no rational reason to save earnings, since the       purchasing value of wages would be undermined by inflation in short       order. Joe Bloggs' savings put away in periods of employment would be       drawn upon in periods of unemployment and interest earned would not       compensate for the fall in purchasing power as real assets became       inflated.              An Australian home during the late 1960's when paper dollars were       still convertible to silver could be bought at 50 times average weekly       earnings.              On today Australian market the same home is now 400-500 times average       weekly earnings given today's inflated market. Plutocracy is best       able to ride the boom and bust cycle and use their system to increase       their net wealth at the expense of Joe Bloggs and the middle class who       fall into their debt traps by borrowing more than they can ever hope       to service in the long run.              There is no meltdown in the global economy just an acceleration of the       plutocratic process of the haves helping themselves to more assets at       the expense of the have not underclass, who increasingly fall into the       debt traps engineered by the debasement of currency and the ramping of       asset prices. Now just suppose Joe Bloggs had a win-fall in heritance       from his rich aunt and now had some cash in the bank to buy a house       when the free market leveling after the housing bubble brought house       prices back down to a natural free market level.              In steps Obama not with a national secular plan to rescue the Joe       Bloggs but a plan to rescue the plutocrats by creating a bad debt bank       using Joe Bloggs' tax dollars. Under lemon socialism Joe Bloggs will       still not be able to afford a home because Obama will be propping up       prices while burdening him with government debt and the plutocrats       will be given a leg up to plunder a greater share of the pie than they       already control.              As the number of victims joins Joe Bloggs in under-employment, Obama,       Keating and Rudd want to become moderates settling the myth that they       are in control of the plutocratic economy. So as pretenders and       apologists their doublespeak draws attention to aspect of the       macro-economy: debtor nations versus creditor nations, neo-liberal              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
