The Multiple Audacities of Hope and US Money.

Abstract: There is no hope in the audacity of hope as touted by Obama and his friends. The world in still facing an economic meltdown and Europe’s only remedy is freshly printed American dollars. Massive printing and massive deficits are now the preferred solutions to debt-driven deflation.  Lessons from the past have been ignored. We have apparently learned nothing from 7,000 years of political and social experimentation except that probably no solution exists. The notion of ‘education’ now appears to be counterproductive using California, New York and New Jersey as benchmarks. We are apparently entering the Era of Reverse Colonialism. The third world will teach us all about modern capitalism. We must be reeducated.

While spending centuries on attempts to form decent societies, our ‘leaders’ have probed the depths of every crevice, crack and rat hole in the political landscape for a ‘solution’ to societal problems. This process now begins its 7,000^th year (or so) and statistically we are not any closer to solving social problems than the Romans or Egyptians or Ancient Chinese were. In fact, our two world wars, giving us 81 million dead and millions more displaced with trillions of dollars lost in bombed out cities, may have more than matched some of the Roman escapades on a relative scale. Our world history is a concatenated ensemble of wars and political movements that tended to undermine and undo societies that were temporarily successful.  Whatever the Romans actually had, and history is muddled on this subject, was bought at the price of invariable war on their own soil by their dedicated enemies. The observation that we have so much wealth and so many people are starving and we should ‘do something about that’ is a cliché not worth mentioning any more. Our cultural mélange does not work that way. Most societies are not going to rise above ignorance and poverty.  Some of Europe may revert to this state.

One can analyze societies from various perches on the limbs of the Tree of Knowledge and we can only wonder who has seen anything of value in the many centuries since the Enlightenment. A broad analysis does reveal the salient fact that there are pockets of prosperity on our globe, however fleeting on a 7,000  year time scale, that provide what we might call a middle or upper middle class existence for most of the citizens. Some, like the Swiss, hide behind massive rock formations and squirrel away dirty money for scoundrels and tax cheats. This seems to be failing as they are now in deflation, also known as the Japanese Disease.[1]Other societies sit upon natural resources that are currently in demand and can thus peddle things from the sea or earth to pay for their lifestyles as we see in the oil-rich countries. Viewed from the limb of natural resource information assembled about 1880, the Tree told us that the US, Russia and parts of Africa would lead the world’s economies because of the vast resources that they possessed which could be sold or transformed for huge profits. This metric failed to predict the obvious outcomes for Russia and the failed USSR for 100 years as we all know. The same observations follow for Africa and most of South America.  For one reason or another, few can make their system work effectively. This is more than just a political problem.

“Education’ was supposed to enlighten the polis and stimulate their mutual cooperation and industry in creating and maintaining great societies. The USSR spent 74 years teaching its citizens phony economics and mindless propaganda and their system crashed in a blizzard of inflation and debt and their currency finally collapsed. Was it ‘education’ that induced the Icelanders to run their banks like hedge funds and zero out their currency? All their savings were reduced to nothing in a few weeks. What is the result of the educational efforts of the madrasas in the Islamic World? More hate and terrorism? The ‘educated’ led the French Revolution and what did they accomplish except stealing the wealth of others? We got a lesson in liberty from the guillotine? The educated ruled that books were the property of the state?

The solution is not related to education or natural resources. We do not know what the solution might be but it seems that our only path forward is to find ways to exploit the wealth of others to stay even in economic or political terms. The solution may be unbridled capitalism at last. Who said that socialism works until you run out of other people’s money?[2][3] Oh, was it Margaret Thatcher? [4] This ominous trend belies the assumed intrinsic value of education and the vocation ethics needed to structure a decent society. We can cite the economic and social mess in California[5] as an example of a case where numerous assets were wasted and the society began to crumble under the penalty of incoherent massive social spending. Apparently California’s elected officials cannot comprehend simple financial theories or decode criminal law.  “Education” has thus failed in California.  Their biggest crop and the basis of their best leisure times revolve around dope. The situation is not much better in New York[6] or New Jersey.  Murder[7] and prostitution are now almost acceptable careers in many inner cities controlled by leftists.

So, where are we today in this essay on social progress? Well, it appears that our new president Barrack Obama [O’Bozo in my terminology[8]] has bought into the ‘global disease’ once espoused in the incoherent rants about the League of Nations and other follies. The disgrace of the UN and its inability to focus on much more than the extinction of Israel leaves us with exactly nothing when it comes to global cooperation. We are back into the same old plan: give others our wealth and they will hate us for it.  This worked well in Europe, twice, when their nations fought in muddy trenches over differences in politics and its aftermath.

So, Gordon Brown and some desperate other socialists pander to O’Bozo for our loot while the French and Germans seem to have gleaned a few lessons from their essays in printing money and the ensuing massive inflation this folly caused. We now sit astride a world divide where the US and China [divided into two packets: one for government and another for commerce] currently command high positions in production and capitalism. This is ironic in the extreme as the last place you might think to look for conservative capitalism would be the PRC. The Chinese want a different world base or reference currency because they think the US is deliberately deflating their dollar and will produce massive loses in the value of the bonds Peking now holds. This is one of the few convincing financial views proffered up in the last few months. The Chinese discovered all they needed to know about inflation during the Yuan Dynasty. Gordon Brown has brought the UK to the brink of financial oblivion and where could he go for alms? Why, the US like they did in WW1, 2 and probably the dock strike in the 50s.

A global ‘solution’ to a global financial meltdown is apparently solved if the US prints money and spreads it around.  The Brits like this avenue. And this theory fits well into the dog-in-the-manger philosophy of the far left. Why should the US be prosperous? If it is because they are better at commerce than the mediocre citizens of other nations then the fact that they have more than the average country is proof that they attained this wealth unfairly.  For equality, at least in the Californian definition, everybody should be humble and poor except for elitist Democrats such as the Clintons, Obamas, the alcoholic and criminal Kennedy Klan and certain California senators. O’Bozo can pack his cabinet with tax cheats and who complains? Africa apparently rates a few trillions of our dollars as we note from the intense training Obama got from his racist pastor of 20 years—Jeremiah Wright.[9] We must also note that Angry Black Woman was a token and held a phony $300,000 ‘outreach’ job in some hospital in Chicago and her vacancy went unfilled. Her academic achievements, if any, are a state secret now.[10] So much for affirmative action from our side, but it plays well in Europe where the Islamo-Fascisti are trashing their host societies.  The immigrants cannot seem to participate but they can readily criticize the status quo. Perhaps Sarkozy and his counterpart in Berlin will experience fewer car burning episodes if we spread around enough pictures of O’Bozo and his token political associate.  Groveling now becomes the average European. Groveling for dollars is the new game.

The True O’Bozo speaks:

"And it's not surprising then they [read Whites...ed] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."[11]—Barack Obama off camera in what he thought was a safe environment to express his views.[12] [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

This is racism. No sour grapes here.

So, having learned little from the Enlightenment and a few world wars other than to succumb to the short-term and dubious rewards of socialism, if that choice is sufficiently tainted by Marxism and when funded by other people’s monies, we come to the sorry observation that Europe is nearly destitute and their only source of financial help is to wrangle and supplicate alms from the coffers of the citizens of the United States. Kowtowing before some half-minority is more than acceptable. China is too adept to participate in this scalping. Heaping praise and honors upon some rabble from Chicago’s ugly south side is not too embarrassing for other world leaders if enough shekels are placed on the drum, but probably not the Chinese.

Let us all enjoy the follies as our money is wasted in Europe and upon Third Word.  We can learn a great big lesson from this recklessness. It is sad that Europe didn’t elect somebody of Edie Amin’s skills or perhaps some other suitable candidate who shared the visions of Nelson Mandela. They might have show us a few pointers about incorporating tribalism and psychotic racism into their societies and at least spared us some pain. France has shown us the intractability of assimilating certain minority groups into a modern society and England has yet to learn this lesson in full. Give them time in the soup lines and they might catch on. Europe is in an anti-Anglo mood now and they just might surprise us with a new and wonderful third world leader in their own midst.  We understand that Drake and his followers unwittingly disassembled tribalism in their antics in the New World, but now O’Bozo can reinstitute his Kenyan version of this societal defect.  This will be a new facet in ‘education!’ We can retrain many in the old ways of tribalism and blend in a little progressive Neo-Marxism at the same time—no extra charge. The lessons from the Moors are soon to be revisited all over Europe. There is no hope for Europe without massive infusions of US Money. So, they crawl and beg.

Amusingly, this appears to be the beginning of the Era of Reverse Colonialism.[13]  The Islamo-Fascists can teach Europe all about social unrest and spiritual hatred and O’Bozo can teach them all about financial ruin and poverty. Sharing.

 Ugly times ahead. Avoid taxes and don’t get into any government programs like buying GM cars.
