Just Foreign Policy Iraqi Death Estimator


Individualism, as a definition of holding to personal ideals, is classed as obstinacy and anti-social. Inevitably we run point blank into the evils of compromise. When compromise enters our moral fibre, it spreads like a cancerous growth. We think we plan adequate safeguards around areas in which we contemplate yielding our standards, but once we lower the fence and break our strong will to do right, come what may, we expose ourselves to forces that spread beyond control. Compromise always starts on some rather insignificant principle. The dangers of yielding seem negligible and we usually risk those things first where observation and detection by others is difficult. We thus seek to avoid censure and discipline. In a short time we find ourselves trading our principles for false values and doing it in the black market of human relationships.

If it were proved to me that in making war, my ideal had a chance of being realized, I would still say "No" to war. For one does not create human society on mounds of corpses.

The past few days I have amused myself, (If watching an unfolding disaster of this dimension can be called amusing.) by watching/reading the latest news coming out of the myriad of mostly Washington and New York based oracles on how the economy was being saved by the latest pipe dream coming directly out of Paulsen's arse for they can't be coming out of his brain.  At least one would think that. 

But on the other hand..................Perhaps they are.  In fact, not perhaps but almost certainly would be my description.  He has been appointed by Deacon Dumb to loot the American people of their last dime and has shown a great ability to do just that.  And now we are seeing his last scam, over a trillion dollars worth thank you very much, coming down the road like a runaway steam roller, with all of the press and most of the congress on board, all sweating away shoveling coal, (Or your tax money if you prefer.) into the boiler with great diligence.

WANTED!  THE TWO BIGGEST LOOTERS IN THE HISTORY OF PLUNDER.

BOTH WANTED FOR THE CRIME OF RIPPING OFF THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS DOWN TO THEIR LAST CENT  FOR THEIR OWN AND THEIR FRIENDS PERSONAL GAIN.

The thing that amazes me the most is how the American people allowed themselves to be led down this path of deciet and plunder by a group of totally incompetents.  Totally and wholly incompetent little assholes that couldn't manage the condom sales booth at a fucking contest.  The ones who were collectivly known as the "Masters of the Universe" just a few short years ago.  And here I am not talking about the Bush crime family and their hangers on but the golden boys of Wall Street.  These clowns that managed to sell the bullshit that they had found a new formula and that the steady, and at times spectacular growth of something as totally worthless as the sub-sub prime mortgage would continue on into eternity.

Now that anyone with a piece of an eye and part of an asshole could see this was just another scam in a flash package is pretty obvious.  These were the same lot of highly educated, (Educated is a relative term and is used here to denote someone with a very expensive education at one of the more exclusive schools and has nothing whatsoever to do with actual learning.  Something they, to a man, seem incapable of.) that brought you the Dot.com. boom that went bust.  The Enron ponzi scheme and many others.  The same lot of expensivly dressed thugs, (Formerly the lump in the left breast of their expensive suit was their well padded wallet and not a pistol but they were out to rob you just the same.) that seemed able to convince the whole world that they were infaliable.  And to prove it they even managed to convince that supercilious collection of half wits that call themselves collectivly the United States Congress that they did not need any form of government regulation and that they were perfectly capable of policing themselves, thank you very much.  And just to prove it they poured millions of dollars into Congressional campaign funds which made them into the American version of Saints.  And we all know a Saint can do no wrong.  Until it all comes unglued.

And where did the Congressional clusterfucks turn to fix what they, in a large part, were responsible for?  Why the same criminals in blue serge that had, by taking full advantage of the total finiancial ignorance of the collection of "Feather my own nest and fuck all the rest" farm boys in Washington, committed the biggest finiancial mass rape in the history of the world.  These were just the guys to get the train back on the rails after they, by totally ignoring the signals had caused to jump off the track in the first place.

And now we are seeing the results.  Or total lack thereof.  Because these, "Masters of the Universe" have proved they don't have a fucking clue.  Even the super thief Poulson can't tell if is ass was punched, bored or dug out by the Corps of Army engineers.  (They are the lot who were supposed to maintain the dykes around New Orleans.)  But he did as the thieves that are behind the other chief in charge of plunder, one Deacon Dumb, demanded and managed to panic the sheeple in the hallowed halls of that other den of thieves and rascals, the Congress, into giving him everything including YOUR kitchen sink to do with what he pleases.  Which he has dutifully done.  Dispensing your largess to all his old friends on Wall street but without bothering to inform the Congress or anyone else just where it has all gone.  And chaniging the rules about how it is to be doled out at least once per week if not more often.

Just as yesterday he decided, without any aid from Congress, that the TARP idea that he used to sell his "plan to plunder" to the Congress was not the right idea after all so now he is going to put a few billion, or is it trillion? into the real rip off artists, the credit card mafia's greedy and quite grubby hands.  This so that they can loan out ever more money at brutally usurious rates to the ever unsuspecting public.  That the one pertenious fact has not seeped in should come as no secret.  These boys do not need to have an ear to the ground, a finger on the pulse because they have been creating their own reality for so long they believe implicitly that their's is the only reality and anything coming from outside their own self fashioned bubble is nothing but extraneous racket and thus only worthy of being ignored.

And thus they haven't the foggiest notion of what is actually happening in the real world.  Like people are NOT the least fucking bit interested in borrowing more money so they can waste it on things they don't need.  They've been down that road and are now forced to face up to the consequences.  And faced with massive job extincion, home prices falling with the speed of metorites and energy prices that are, for the moment at least, dropping but which can raise just as sharply again the one thing they do not want is more debt.  No matter how favorable the terms.  So pissing more money down the drain to "help" the credit card outfits will be just as effective in stopping the slide into depression as did pouring billions in the bankers gold lined pockets.  Or to put it more bluntly, not at fucking all.  But according to all the oracles this latest "Cure" is really the dog's bollocks and will without a doubt be the fix the world economies needs.

AND MY ARSE IS FILLED WITH GREEN CHEESE ALSO!
