Still will pay OUTRAGEOUS prices for books for their courses.<br /><br /><br /><br />Using evil to prey upon evil.<br />I realize the horrific days of people planning monsterous acts like the Holocaust are behind us. But that doesn't mean there still are not scams in the economy, besides The Skim, wnich the gods view as necessary for positioning's sake.<br />Just as clone hosting selected disfavored whom the gods wanted ot ensure had no chance to ascend before The End, so did being invited into the 21st century real estate scam ensure as of yet undetermined punishment elements.<br />They instructed people whom they wanted ot condition into faith in their relationship that since the stock market would top out they should shift their asset base into real estate instead.<br />And they told them when to sell before they tanked the real estate market as well, timing all based on the level of confidence they wanted each to understand.<br />The victims may cry "Why would this happen to me." but their behavior in a prior life would answer this:::It didin't happen to anyone who didn't deserve it.<br /><br /><br />Both the public and the private sector host $400k overpaid employees. The difference?<br />The private sector preys upon the disfavored rejects from motherlands, while the public sector preys upon people too disfavored to stay reproducing with their own blood and enjoying their own culture. Corporate preyed upon the more favored purebloods from their motherland through sourcing and therefore incurr more evil in the eyes of the gods. Yet another great example of the god's "reverse positioning".<br /><br />They point the finger at me and claim I participate by shopping at WalMart. <br />Now this is something I have yet to understand, for they ALL engage in this sourcing due to cheap Asian labor. <br />It is the essence of life in the United States.<br />And Walmart has a very straightforward business model, although not as clear as Costco's "14%", rest assured I pay a margin on each and every product I purchase at Walmart independantly, including my $3 box of American made Cherios and my 68 cent can of Campbell's tomato soup.<br />INCIDENTALLY, it seems to me we pay THE SAME PRICE FOR SHIT THAT WE DID BEFORE SOURCING BEGAN. The difference is being poicketed by corporate and the $400k employees who are recruited into playing a part in this evil.<br />The gods intentionally set this up to ensure the onus falls upon the preditory capitalist and not the ignorant public.<br />Trash at the top just as there is trash in the ghetto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19563652.post-1167972588287189072007-01-04T23:49:00.000-05:002007-01-04T23:49:00.000-05:00Agreed on your C1.

I almost didn't include the link that prompted your comment, but felt it deserved credit for at least trying to define WWIII.<BR/><BR/>Agreed on C2. Interestingly, in WWII the allies were not well-defined either. You had civil war in Greece at the end of the major conflict for just such reasons. The Soviet Union was our ally and communism was our enemy simultaneously.<BR/><BR/>Neoliberal economics has two faces (at least). One face is an honest libertarian theory that says "free trade" is a good thing. It has some economic basis (the notion of comparative advantage). Of course, it's good if you're an advanced country that has mass production that can overwhealm a lesser develope country, and bad if you're the lesser developed country. (Keep in mind the powerful countries got to be powerful by using trade barriers and stealing natural resources via colonial practices... which we'd NEVER do today). <BR/><BR/>The other face is the co-opted version that has actually taken hold in the world. It's often called "corporate globalization." The powerful nations say to the lesser nations, "Enter free trade agreements or we'll crush you." Actually, the plutocrats of the wealthy nations say this to the plutocrats of the lesser nations. The later see personal dollar signs, the corporations move in and take over every sector of the lesser nation, and the poor generally stay poor or get jobs in sweat shops.<BR/><BR/>That doesn't really do the subject justice, but you get the idea.<BR/><BR/>A book by John Perkins "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" gives a cloak and dagger take on it. He worked for the big guys to get small countries in debt. Once in debt, the plutocrats effectively own them. If the lesser countries had a leader who, God forbid, wanted to use their natural resources to better the lives of the poor people (like the evil Hugo Chavez), then "the jackals" would be set upon these heathen "communists". If that didn't work, military intervention was an option.GDAEmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348919163462907583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19563652.post-1167772423582402662007-01-02T16:13:00.000-05:002007-01-02T16:13:00.000-05:00Greetings again. The holidays left life a bit busy...Greetings again. The holidays left life a bit busy.<BR/><BR/>I have a few comments and a question.<BR/><BR/>C1: I take Christian apocalypticos with a grain of salt. Most have a hard time separating the symbolic, spiritual writings of Revelation from the geopolitical realities of the world. It has to do with their interpretation of scripture, with which I disagree.<BR/><BR/>C2: I don't believe all the allies have been defined yet, either. And, does the enemy require geopolitical demarcation? If it's China, that's easy because they are a political entity. If the politics of radical Islam are public enemy #1, who is the enemy?<BR/><BR/>Q: I've never heard the term "neolib economics". Can you explain what this means?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369287272186630378noreply@blogger.com
