Linguistic somersaults indicate extremely sick U.S. Economy

Previous articles have drawn attention to linguistic tricks stock markets employ to deceive the public. On a specified day “selling” became ‘profit taking,’ a highly inaccurate and misleading term as selling incurs both profit and loss – but don’t alarm (sheeple) investors for Christ’s sake! Today’s sub-prime, circular credit markets have taken a very dangerous linguistic turn toward even greater DENIAL, which is symptomatic of the disease not the cure. The latest divorced from reality market expression saturating the mass media is, “write-down,” which actually means LOSS! The following headline from Marketwatch is typical:
Asian, Middle Eastern governments aid big banks
Merrill may be latest to fill holes left by write-downs with government cash
by Alistair Barr, MarketWatch
Large financial concerns are loath to confront the reality that they have lost billions at the hands of astute operators, cowboys and market jugglers – facing that reality may lead to accepting responsibility and we wouldn’t want that -- especially in America!
A very high price is extracted for failing to apprehend reality; Asian investors have seized the opportunity to ‘offer assistance’ to crippled American markets and financial institutions in the form of much needed liquidity – giving the junkie a fix in other words. However, as all dope dealers and junkies know there’s no such thing as a free fix, particularly when dealing with Asian ‘suppliers.’ This gesture of ‘assistance’ from mega-wealthy, flushed with reserves, Middle Eastern, Singaporean and Chinese financial institutions is actually an operation in global economic warfare -- softly, softly, we wish to be seen as assisting not subverting America, which is the actual objective!
Culturally consistent Asia has decided that a slow demise is preferable to dumping dollar reserves and watching America go down the tubes; the negative repercussions would be felt globally if Sam dropped on the spot. Easing him into an expensive, comfortable, sarcophagus and slowly lowering him into the ground is the Asian way!
It’s easy to get lost in the (crisis) ‘lights’ of world events isn’t it? Few care to observe shadow realms, which is where we live and where the real action is!
Capitalism has been accurately described as “wealth for the few;” the sheeple are beginning to understand. America learnt very late to take it all and share nothing; Asia, however, has been built on this model. Wealth in Asia is never distributed fairly; this results in obscene opulence for the few. The family home of one of India’s richest exemplifies the fact:
“The mansion of Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India, is something more than the average dream house. When construction is completed next year, his home will top 570 feet – the equivalent of a 60-story skyscraper – and include a helipad, six floors of parking, and 600 servants for a family of six.”
The rich Chinese are a little more discreet with their wealth, the Russians favour the Indian model, nevertheless, a little romp around Asia verifies a two-tier society of super wealthy gangsters and avaricious pigs with the servile classes jostling for position below.
The ‘shadows’ to which I previously referred are the many groups that have had enough. From the so-called ‘red corridor’ of Maoists and Naxalites extending from Himalayan Nepal through Kolkata, central India to Kerala in the South; to the so-called ‘arc of instability’ in the South Pacific. [Asian and Islander] people do not need prompting to fight. Latin Americans have revolution in their blood but recently a push for financial freedom (Banco del sur) seems the wisest course.
The rich have been forced to engage the services of heavily armed private armies/guards who are in the perfect position to turn their guns on their employers – that simple. Is no one safe anymore? Don’t it just shit ya!
What’s the world coming to if you can’t trust your own security guards? The fate of Indira Gandhi has set a trend or perhaps society will return to leaders who excel in all pursuits including combat. A return to the way of the warrior is preferable to dying like dogs in Iraq – learn from Iraq and bury your differences!
Shame on you divided Muslims; millions cannot oust a few thousand Americans? How is it the rest of the world can set aside differences to fight a common enemy and Arabs cannot? Options for divided peoples are drastically reduced, either die like dogs or learn to eat shit!
