Warmongers are not taken by the Olympic spirit:
“to build a peaceful and better world in the Olympic Spirit which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play – Olympic Spirit strives to inspire and motivate the youth of the world to be the best they can be through educational and entertaining interactive challenges. Olympic Spirit seeks to instill and develop the values and ideals of Olympism in those who visit and to promote tolerance and understanding in these increasingly troubled time in which we live, to make our world a more peaceful place.”

Idiocracy
Selling the land from under our feet is so balanced, realistic, reasonable, responsible, sane, sensible, and smart, that, only those with defected brainwash could object.
We surrender, genuinely, heart and soul to the 0.0001% or the 6,660 Godlike creatures who own everything.

Sacrilegious suggestion
“What horrifies me is that you’ve got a financial system designed by neoclassical economists.”
Numerous “proper” economists have attacked the sacrilegious suggestion that it would be possible to reverse the money creation flow by bailing out the debtors first, – not the banks. No wonder the (Swedish) central bank(s) stole into the prestigious Nobel price to reward the subservient economic priesthood.
However, doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results is the definition of “proper” economists, – or was it insanity?
Reading Debunking Economics – The Naked Emperor Dethroned? should be a pleasurable experience for everyone, except for hypnotized chickens of course.

The latest ‘investigative’ report informs us of incomprehensible losses of the retirement funds. This, big as it is, is only a fraction of the total losses in the banking meltdown.
Accountability is a concept in ethics and governance with several meanings, nevertheless none of these fit the cognitive climate.
Voodoo priests are currently hard at work stuffing history down the memory hole, their version is that none of this happened, others compare us to post colonial Africa, as we’ve been occupied in succession by: Denmark, UK, US, and the IMF.
Having successfully separated the peasants from their retirement money, the “gentry” wants the serfs to work until they drop, – not mentioning the simple fact that there isn’t work even for young slaves – regardless of how often they redefine the unemployment figures.
Loss of money is one thing but loss of identity is something else.
