Real Assets for Dummies

These people aren't stupid.

They've been doing this for a while...and buying other stuff, too....and the fact that we are starting to read about it means that we are expected to start getting used to reading about it.

No matter where you look, no matter what angle you take - it seems we are being prepped for a massive reduction in living standards....

Getting someone used to something is what control is all about.

Give someone only grass to eat for a week and they will call you a Saint for giving them some peanuts.

Tell them it's for the Environment and people will give their lives...Or at least pay out the nose for the privelige of living them...

No matter what it is: Just get them used to it, and it's no big deal. Really.

How about some real change?

Maybe we could let everyone in on the whole money-is-free thing. I could certainly use some Quantitative Easing. I think we all could - not just these guys.

Seriously. If we can print up a trillion, if we can build this, if we can design this and this -

Then how can we believe that the world 'just is the way it is' - full of hunger and needless war and varied savagery - disguised as necessary, of course - how do we believe that anymore?

Oh wait, I know...because we are told that there is no other way.... That the world is a cruel place full of nightmare brown / yellow / red people and scary punks who live only to destroy...

If we don't go over there - to fight them - they will come get us. Helpless, cornered, us.

If we dont stop them now...I mean, if we don't stop them...after we fund them...and entrap them....they might actually do something....oh nevermind.

If we don't take charge - the terrorists win... Right?

Inflation and Escalation

Nothing makes me happier than people who know what they are talking about. People who, when addressing a certain subject, aren't immediately compromised by their interests.

These are the pragmatists, the ones who specialize in analysis and deduction - they don't have to worry about getting re-elected. They don't have to toe the line or worry about losing their jobs, and they are usually right on the money.

Take their advice or leave it, but it may be wise to keep these guys in mind - just in case.

Moving right along....Lots of sketchy moves happening, all over the place....even paradise...

Did you know that we (and I say we as in, 'we white, north american, first world people'...because they are our governements, after all....) do this all the time, but we're not at war with them?

And dont think that they are cool with it - because they arent.

Anyway....in other news, weird shit, and getting weirder....people explaining away impossible mistakes...and all the usual suspects are found in the middle of everything.

Answers I ain't got, just plenty of curiosity...
