CONvince people they cannot live without money, that nothing worthwhile is even possible without the damned stuff, and it is, to all intents and purposes, "Game-over!"....except for all the "weeping and wailing and gnashing-of-teeth" mentioned earlier.<br /><br />There is today no easy and painless way to escape the death-grip of the tormentors on the short-hairs of "....your huddled masses." Both hair and hide (and certainly, "There Will Be Blood"), in significant quantities, will be the "price" the domesticated peoples will have to "pay" to get free.<br /><br />The thing is, as "Mr. Jones" has here remarked often, they're already paying dearly, but getting nothing but more grief and misery for their troubles. The "global" gangsters' aim is to rake-in the last of the lucre at the same moment the last of the livestock becomes permanently "redundant." There's probably a "pool" somewhere for high-rollers willing to put their gelt where there best guess is.<br /><br />At least it sure looks that way to this old Savage, from deep in Indian Country.<br /><br />HokaHey!TAO Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669238942080921290.post-78290151088180235922009-11-30T10:20:13.203-08:002009-11-30T10:20:13.203-08:00Unfortunately it appears that finance corporations...Unfortunately it appears that finance corporations ARE the government.
