The world is in the process of leaving us behind… because it knows what we haven’t been able to quite see yet… the days of america as economic engine of the world economy are over.
the secret? that’s the one analysis on which bushCo based these last seven.
take the jump, if you’d like…
it just makes sense, in a deranged way. i’m totally non-economic but these days, one is forced to ponder the vastness of ways in which America is being totally and completely screwed.
so here’s my crazy idea…
bushCo saw the long term: to its east, the emergence of an asian middle class, led by hundreds of millions of Chinese and Indian consumers. a shift of wealth. the need for more resources. all in worlds willing to have its workers and environments exploited and strip mined in exchange for becoming the western world’s assembly line and, of course, recipients of all that western investment money.
and what worlds… millions upon millions eligible for entry into the middle class hell of credit cards and massive personal debt, while still having millions upon millions to labor for a few cents a day… industrialized and third world all in the same place. one can only imagine the bushCo wet dreams…
but bushCo had some good questions… who would end up in control of the the energy and other resources needed to accommodate those new consumers? the more realistic question was: how to get control of those resources?
ahhh… to its west, America. with wealth to plunder and a population full of patsies… and an army of men and women willing to serve when their country calls. there’s no longer any need to keep the american middle class intact… we’re just a mere few hundred million overpaid complainers and can’t possibly compete with the hundreds and hundreds of millions of consumers ready to take up our designer label gadget bigger is better obsessions. guys, face it. we aren’t needed any more.
so bushCo just…
– props up global corporate power, not aligned to any country, but only focused on depleting consumers, where ever they are, of their wealth. check.
– ignites a war with iraq. check.
– in the midst of that war, makes iran out to be the real bad guy and prepares to invade. check.
– the easy part? creating war profiteering opportunties for bushCo minions as the way to suck the american economy of every last morsel on the way to controlling two of the biggest oil reserves in the world. check.
– oh, let’s not forget the unfettered use American military, sucking it empty while road testing the bushCo private army (paid for by, ahem, american middle class tax dollars). check.
ladies and gentlemen, i think we’ve been had by about the biggest con game ever staged.
but then, what do i know? i’m just an observer with no special expertise or knowledge. yet, when there are so many things that don’t make sense, well sometimes the most absurd stuff is all you’re left with.

sometimes i get the craziest ideas
only the money, the billions upon billions they’re bilking from the ppl…only that matters to them…
they give No thought to those they grind under their bootheels along the way.
And, personally, I think the neo-cons of the PNAC had everything mapped out from the get go. They were out for themselves from the beginning, as witnessed by the near daily events of their activities catching us all off guard, and then left to deal with after the fact.
Power, greed and, probably, illusions of grandeur (taking over the world’s economy) are the attributes of BushCo.
Then, too, Republicans have always considered themselves the elitists, frowning down upon the have-nots, also engrained in BushCo.
