Comments on: The G-20 Washout http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/11/the-g-20-washout/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:07:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Alex http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/11/the-g-20-washout/#comment-32206 Alex Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:28:58 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/?p=4785#comment-32206 Why do the rich stay rich? They bumble into schemes by creating more wealth for themselves by, lying, cheating, and stealing (remember that the John Houseman quote..."they earn it"?) They got their 3% collective foot caught in financial instruments that their hired Bozos in their elite Universities couldn't understand. They gambled and lost. In essence they destroyed the global monetary system (their golden goose). What is it now? 3% control 80% of the world. The 3%ers are in a precarious spot. They control capital on paper, however their liquidity is gone. Crooks don't trust other crooks. Even their gold is worthless, try buying a loaf of bread with an American eagle (would you expect any change back?). Me thinks their next act (by past history) will involve the creation of a class system. Call it the haves and have nots. This will not come easy if the masses object (doubtful). If they did, there would be some kind of escalation the will "divide and/or thin the heards" into a more malleable population. That's why they (yes the 3%ers) most likely chose Obama. He can take away your 4th amendment rights, and still make you feel confident in our system of government. Ah, the ignorance of the masses! I ramble...in short globalization will need a to take a back seat and we will need to resort back to the village mentality (eh Hilary?) without the interference of the 3%ers. If anyone should be thinned... Why do the rich stay rich?

so r generals, most of the educators, advertisers, media owners, etc.
none of these aspects stands in isolation from any other; all are parts of a whole just like a pump is part of a whole, part of a smooth engine.
remove just the pump and engine will not run.
remove their media and gov’ts r stymied. likewise, remove the generals and there is no war.
all of these aspects must work in unison, for one purpose: maintainance of basic structure of governance.
among other things, it means that working people have close to zilch power in education, information, and governing.
of course, cia, fbi, city police, entertainers, commentators, radio chatters must also be onside. such people make megabucks, retire early; double dip by getting good jobs after.
can this be changed? i say yes! it is possible. but only if lotsof people (mns) risk their lives by standing on the street corners and educating passerbys.
i’v done some of it. any other way(s)? getting people to read alternate media, perhaps?. terrorism, no! not ever, methinks! tnx

Such views remained marginalized, as they always will be under our current system of how media are set up and the way it thus functions under the management of those with ties to the media. Ensuring the development of internet neutrality and new broadband-based sources such as the white spaces of old TV will, one hopes, will begin to undermine this media system. A decently informed populace through alternative sources of news and information will substitute for and possibly drive the mainstream media to account for wider points of view. Finally, no one who is paying attention didn't conclude as the author did, that once the world is rid of Bush, we can get back to reality and Obama will be made to face that reality that major new reform of regulation of financial markets are needed and the beginning of purging the World Bank and other such institutions of the toxic thinking that was so akin to the thinking that led to this meltdown.

I think the world's leaders came to Washington not to agree on anything but to demonstrate that GWB wasn't willing to agree on anything with them. Now, they've decided to meet in London in the new year and Obama has been more or less summoned to attend. He also now knows what the world wants.
