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
versus post neo-liberal-revisionist. They have become the new guru for
keeping the crooks honest by statutory regulation after the crooks
have debased the currency and stolen the banking system from under
their very noses.
Naturally Joe Bloggs must of necessity be missing from their equation
as just another irrelevant number- a nameless credit unworthy entity
fit for the scrap heap poverty set in digs or homeless and on the
street. Oh sorry, I forgot Rudd wants him to have a 50% chance of
being saved from the prospect of homelessness by 2019. Obama and Rudd
talk about protecting working families or the Middle Class, but never
a word about the underclass. There is nothing more characteristic of
the plutocratic order than a hand wringing theist pretender selling a
second-coming to the down and out some 10 years down the track.
At 10% chronic unemployment spin may work, at 20% social disorder and
unrest may be controlled by plutocratic controlled police and
paramilitary forces, at 30-40% history demonstrates a revolutionary
realignment is inevitable, and as recent history of the post
depression period demonstrated the 'fix' culminated in a nuclear
finale to WW2.
In this neo-con inspired revolutionary struggle a Judeo-Christian
fascism emerges to protect plutocracy while a national secular
alternative will struggle to replace it. The Zionist neocons will
attempt to ramp to a full world war that will from the outset be
nuclear because only a nuclear holocaust removes the Islamic
demographic threat from their beloved ersatz Israel. The new Israeli
government controlling territories where half the population ( mainly
Muslim ) do not get a vote, are having an election to elect a new
Zionist regime to facilitate their expansion plans, and about 300
nuclear weapons at their disposal thanks to past US proliferation of
the fissile materials and technology to Israel. The recent bloodbath
in Gaza is just a h'ordeurve to prepare the secular world for their
main course- a thermonuclear genocide of Islamic competitors.
Obama is either a national secularist and with the people in this
struggle or just another theist running dog controlled by neo-cons,
and against us.
Recent events demonstrate that if the Judeo-Christian theists want a
war they try to get a war, if the plutocrats want a bailout for their
fiscal irresponsible corporate cowboys, they try to get a bailout. But
there has to be an end to high stakes opportunism as fewer people
directly benefit from plutocracy and the outcomes of its radical
increasingly biased racist and religious policies become more
uncertain. Ignorance reaps the firestorm whirlwind for the ill
prepared secularist- so blame games after a calamity are no substitute
to national secular action that prevents its occurance. Secularists
are in a Darwinian struggle with the neo-con Right and their
plutocratic fascist policies for world domination.
In Pakistan Pakistani scientist Abdul Qader Khan is not longer under
house arrest and more than likely is very much back in business
sharing nuclear technologies with Islamic states. If the Islamic
states cooperate en mass against the Judeo-Christian threat posed by
the Zionist neocons, Australia should be prepared for 200-300
divisions of Indonesian troops heading for 75% of the world Uranium
reserves in Australia.
The days of Islamic states obliging the neo-con lead West ended when
Saddam went to the gallows after fully cooperating with UN orders to
destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. On the fringe of this
conflagration are the Russians and their nuclear stockpile- with more
than a few communists in the ranks keen to pay the USA back for its
hand in their defeat in Afghanistan and the demise of the old
communist order.
Joe Bloggs needs a national secularism to reform the market economy
and realign the political economy but our nation states have been
hijacked by theist crazies and plutocrats forever keen on more of the
same.
The solution is not socialism nor plutocracy but a rational pragmatic
national secularism that restores a free market in which the Joe
Bloggs of this world can survive. Obama / Keating / Rudd doublespeak
under the control of their neo-con plutocratic puppet masters is no
substitute for that.
