The New Spirit (is getting Old)

Our betters are getting in to the Christmas spirit.
After a year of “damage control” they are now testing the waters for the release of a censored ‘truth’ report by adding an 80 year ‘ban’ on the really sensitive stuff. Some of them are furious to be under investigation, others are not being investigated at all.

Smaller fish are offered to be fried but as usual ‘names’ are nowhere to be found.

The propaganda machine continues spreading the gospel truth that a well-behaved public must fund the bill. They call it Scandinavian welfare, except in Scandinavia people get something in return while we only get to appease the angry creditors of private corporations.

Or as they say, this inspired ‘Crash’ is shared with you by the _______. Corporation

The Wizard of Oz

Dorothy’s adventures may be an allegory but the solution, to get back to “Kansas”, is also a paradox.

Many have struggled long and hard but as they say “resistance is futile”.

The only thing we have to do is to splash some cold water on the wicked witch of the West (stop feeding her) to orchestrate her meltdown.

The BBC can make you laugh (or throw up)

The much acclaimed, “The Love of Money” has been flickering over our hypnotic screens of late. In it’s final stages we are shown how an angelic PM (or as some say a “one-eyed Scottish idiot”) steps in and saves the world’s financial systems from the abyss, almost singlehandedly.

It may well be that the program tries to clarify what happened in the 80 years up to this fatal date, but somehow it gets lost in this personality cult. Did all the Messianic Saviour’s (national and international) hang upside down in their respective caves – praying to the money god – for all these years?

Or was this ‘threat’ just another ‘lucky’ opportunity to transfer even more public funds into private hands?

The new rules of news – Dan Gillmor

“You may have noticed – you could hardly miss it – the blizzard of anniversary stories last month about the fall of Lehman Brothers, an event that helped spark last year’s financial meltdown. The coverage reminded me that journalists failed to do their jobs before last year’s crisis emerged, and have continued to fail since then.

It also reminds me of a few pet peeves about the way traditional journalists operate. So here’s a list of 22 things, not in any particular order, that I’d insist upon if I ran a news organization.” guardian.co.uk
