This is a bit like the war thread where the innocent guys were killed by the attack helicopter - its a surprise that anyone might be surprised that stuff like this goes on and its simply par for the course.
I doubt if the majority is surprised that this behavior persists, but I am fairly confident that the majority has been conditioned to accept this behavior as par for the course.
Whether within war or current economics, poor behavior is not a cause... it's an effect of the underlying system.

If millions protesting cant stop wars, then what seriously does anyone think might roll back this particular crime against humanity?
Where are these millions of protesters?
Armchair protesters ranting on the internet will not have any effect on change, unless they are organizing a real movement.
A multi-million man march on Washington might cause a stir, but again, war is an effect of a bigger problem... not a cause. While such a gargantuan effort may get them to stop this war, what will prevent them from just starting another war a few months or years from now?

Leaders everywhere are taking credit for limiting us to a recession rather than standing by and presiding over depression. Sure enough, no one would want a depression - but then no one should want what we got when we were "saved" - basically our glorious leaders propping up a poor system with our money and trying desperately to revive it and restore it just as it was before - a deeply flawed and globally dangerous model.
I'm glad you understand the basic principle that the system is deeply flawed and globally dangerous. This is the message we need to get out to the masses.
And indeed, those at the top of the food chain are temporarily propping up the collapsing system with our money.
quote:
What we needed perhaps was the shock of a depression by which, as per the last time round, the model would be remade so as to provide stability and wealth for decades through proper regulation and oversight. It was the rollback of such proper regulation and oversight, from the 80s on, that seeded this particular bed of virulent weeds.
This is where you and I differ. I believe the system has been flawed from the very beginning... not since the 80's. The flawed model, based on money as debt through loans, needs to be perpetuated by economic expansion... through the mechanism of labor for income. But we now have technological unemployment in the equation.
In 2007, the total debt of the US Government and all of its citzens was 53 trillion dollars, whereas the total money supply (M3) was 12 trillion dollars. The GDP was only 14 trillion!
There's a very good reason why the government stopped reporting the M3.
Globally, the system is strikingly similar. Of the 203 countries in 2009, only 4 do not owe others money. The collective external debt of all governments was 52 trillion dollars, and this doesn't include the massive household debt in each country.
More checks and balances aren't going to fix this problem. The system itself is flawed, and on the verge of collapse. It's time for change.
I have no doubt that the elite already has their plan ready, for when the collapse finally does occur. The people need to organize, and install a plan that's right for humanity and the ecosystem.
Time grows short.
