war is, perhaps, the last refuge of conflict resolution
representing the trance of acceptance of total personal
and collective failure.
it's also a product of government and the state and gets
all wrapped up in those terms and memes. wave the flag of
technological superiority here and pray away the human
loss.
.
finance partly sold itself as a superior means of conflict
resolution, war by other means, as long as growth of the
system could be represented as the need for further financialization
and price inflation, opportunity flourished. when obstacles
or resistance to this growth and expansion were confronted,
limited military operations, war by another term, was used
to eliminate or co-opt the resistance.
however, when limits are reached, things crash into
brick walls so to speak.
we appear to be at the end stage of a system that functioned
that way; the event horizon of financialization as no limited
operation is going to provide the assets to further financialize
and no expansion is possible without great resistance, either
outwardly or inward.
the people can only work so many jobs for less and less product;
the fees, fines and taxes can only take so much of the flesh.
the money can only be created out of nothing and stolen for
so long till a great many someones on the train notices there are no more
rails on this line.
.
at this point only the blind and desperate would lead their
fellows into a suicidal war. that, or the stupid. this is not
your father's depression, it is on you and strikes to your
intelligence and understanding of the ways of man and the
ways of the world.
i say god bless and good luck. you can do this

If we could just get him to stay on permanent vacation I'd agree to double his salary and pay all his expenses.  Same with Congress.

"We have come to the end of the informal Bretton Woods II agreement, which was to stay with the US dollar as the primary basis for world trade, an arrangement that had been in place since the end of WW II. The US dollar based on a relationship to gold became the petrodollar when Nixon unilaterally closed the gold window in 1971.

The banks agreed to continue to use it as the de facto standard for international currency valuation The 'management' of gold as just another currency was carried out through leasing arrangements and targeted sales. By 2004 at the latest, a number of the world's central banks broke from this arrangement, which started quickly falling apart. By 2006 the central banks turned from net sellers of gold to net buyers.

The agreement finally succumbed to the Greenspan Fed, and the band of Merry Pranksters in the government, who finally played one too many one-sided games with the other sovereign nations. The credibility of the US hit a virtual brick wall in the aftermath of the obtuse behaviour that followed the world's outpouring of favourable sentiment for the US after 9/11.

Bush laid the egg, and Obama hatched it, to borrow a historical metaphor about another Reformation that came after a long period of abuses and a rising tide of nationalism after the long fall of an Empire.

We know who these central banks are, and we have a good idea of why they are doing it, if we are still a little rough on the details, which is understandable given the strategic nature of their actions." jca ......

WHY do the Obamas and Clintons always spend their summer vacations on Martha's Vineyard? I grew up in Massachusetts and returned to live there again as an adult for over 20 years.

I have been all over Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket more times than I can recall.

Nantucket was clearly the "jewel" of Massachusetts - from its cobbestone streets, old whaling captains' homes, quaint shops, country roads on which one could wander the island by bicycle ot motor scooter, or simply lying on the beach. Martha's Vineyard was a "tourist's nightmare", with streets and beaches jammed with people. Picture in your mind an old western movie in which the cowboys attempt to halt a cattle stampede. That is probably the best description of the Martha's Vineyard that I recall. Of course, close to where the ferry docks is the beach with its narrow inlet into a salt-water pond, made "famous" by the movie "Jaws" - but when seen in person, it was a "big yawn".

But, then again, I never stayed at some billionaire's multi-million dollar mansion ...

 

P.S. Given their views on the Constitution and the "rule of law", I suspect that Berchtesgaden and the nearby Eagle's Nest might be more appropriate.

perhaps the Kennedy "mystique"? Nantucket was always a little too rough around the edges for them, kind of like 99% of the USA.

wasn't "John John" flying to the Vin-yahd when he went tits up with those two twats?

I miss those WWII Movies. Good & Evil.

I bet there is a Reason we don't see Any more movies of German Torture in the Third Reich. After all sort of seems the USA and Israel gave up the Geneva Conventions.

Would tend to remind us of either the proper values or the lies we told our people about the War in 1945.

Otto Von Bismark wasn't a National Socialist. He was just a Junker, from a wealthy Prussian Family, Conservative.
