The tweet is spot on.  If the mundanes have to fix it we will not have the time or the inclination to separate wheat from chaff.

atlas was the great producers of the day leaving the government morass behind.  Now the great producers and the government are one, and they are raping the peons

hopefully, it is the peons that are shrugging.

That's certainly not for squishy head there to decide anymore, looks like he's sold his life's choices to some people with money to my eyes.

Today it is not that the great producers and the government are one, it's that the great parasites and the government are one. Exactly as Rand described it in the book.

Those large industries continue due to government favors and quashing the smaller, more innovative producers, and mis-allocating taxes to support the dinosaurs.

Exactly as described.  Her books always came across to me as presenting the near worst possible relationships as decent or ideal, whether they were interpersonal or business/government.

producers and the government are one

Horseshit. If you can produce, you don't need government guns. If you need government guns (like GM, etc.) then you are not a producer. Any idea which requires the guns of government is not a good idea.

Again...the great battle of our time will be the producers vs. the parasites. Membership in either class is wealth agnostic.

Serf or Pawn? Not a great deal of difference.

That's interesting, given that "Palestine" isn't even a real country.  I guess the next thing we get to hear is that ISIS is going to open up an embassy in Brussels.

ISIS does have oil for sale...probably some gas too.

Israel was created through TERRORISM - not so ironically, you can almost see why ISIS (which is part funded by the Zionist scum) is going down this vicious route. 

 

Fucking Zionist Bankster Scum.

 

Remind us again.......

 

* Who were the money-changers at the temples during Jesus' time?

* Who were the USURY initiators? 

* Who were the Goldsmiths?

* Who were the Rothchilds?

* Who were the Warburgs?

* Who is Alan Greenspan?

* Who is Ben Shalom Bernanke?

* Who is Janet Yellen?

* Who is Stanley Fischer?

* Who is Jacob Lew?

 

That's just an indisputable FACT, and this here is ZERO HEDGE - you'll never assert your control in the same way your chosenites have monopolised the mainstream media (if you want proof of that too, I'll get you it within a heartbeat!)

 

Good luck with your day, and don't forget to clean up the hasbara designated desk for the next agent! 

 

Signed with love, 

Harmless.

Pity the soldiers of the West, conscripted by the oligarchs who force them to kill and maim. Praise them for their heroic bravery. Don't be so cruel as to blame them for their atrocities, because after all they are only following orders.

Takes a lot of money to pay for all that politik. 

Also, the buying and maintaining of killers is fairly expensive.

Fraudulent monetary theory to the rescue.

Governance originates with monetary control and regulation, filtering from high society to lower, then it trickles down upon your head, corrupting it (your head that is, also money, and most everything you can think of or touch).

(Most of that's not in the comic, but I'm willing to extrapolate a bit.  Especially since I don't see Obama anywhere in the cartoon and the hand could be the hand of bankers cloaked in the sleeve politics (though personally I would have written "bankers" or at least "money-speech" on the hand to make that point clearer)  I'm taking that view over the other possibility: that Ramirez's blaming the scapegoat class of politicians, which would be a waste of effort when compared to the much more efficient tactic of addressing systemic failings created by greed culture.)

:)

Also, the Krieger quote is critical of seeing the political divide as meaningful, as doing such would be to generate ignorance which would be to the benifit of our corrupted overlords and slavemasters.  Which agrees with my prior criticisms of Ramirez's recent cartoons.  So maybe I'm right with my first assumption above and we are seeing a change of tactics from the illustrator over at Investors.com.

That sleeve should actually be labeled "Zion," and the fingers labeled "banksters."

The banksters need to repay us.
