Jump To Comment: 1 2Is the answer Goldman Sachs ?? Seems to be who they represent from were I am sitting.
As regards the Irish being shivering Cowards . I would have to say most defenitely Yes. And I would say about 65+% of them are Morons also.
Sorry
They represent the financial oligarchy. This is the Class War except this time their victory has been more complete and has been fought at a more abstract level via financial rather through industrial relations. This new Class War that started a few decades back has been so effective that most people can't even see it for what it is, except at this final stage where just a few more people are beginning to cop on.
In effect the financial elite through organisations like the World Bank, IMF and now more recently the ECB and the army of financial 'experts' and lobby groups are doing to Europe and the USA (i.e. the 'West') what they did to Africa during the 1980s and into the 90s and parts of Asia too.
The progress that Africa had made in the 1950s and 60s when they gained independence and started developing and growing came to a screeching halt during the 2nd oil crisis when the banks intentionally lent vast sums of surplus dollars (created by high oil prices and held by oil producing countries) and lent these to much of Africa, Asia and Latin America. The result was crippling debt which alongside falling currencies allowing the insiders connected to global finance/IMF to come in and buy up mines, forests, dams and the best farmland at extremely cheap prices. Much of this is documented in the book 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman'
Anyhow the result was that poverty grew massively along with corruption and the structure of these societies tilted in the extreme towards a tiny rich elite and the remainder totally impoverished and at the same time social services were more or less dismantled. It is no coincidence during the 1980s and 90s that the megaslums of the world grew rapidly.
It is this condition which is the logical conclusion of what is now happening in Ireland and every other country in Europe.
For some reason the Irish have been exceptionally passive and I can only speculate that they think the scenario of total social destruction is something they seem to think could never happen here. My gut feeling is that the propaganda war over the past 3 or 4 decades has been so effective that people can't see the class nature of what is happening and are still hanging onto such myths as we will grow out of this or we're all just one social class. Or if it is none of these, then people are too wrapped up in their pre-occupations with various TV soaps, or series of this that and the other and spend so much time doing "entertainment" that they are clueless as to what structural changes are going on all around them.
Even at this late stage where it is impossible not to notice the financial coup d'etat that has taken place and the utter criminality of the financial elite and their representatives -the governments and various political parties throughout Europe, that many people just refuse to grasp what is going on and you still get these expressions of 'you mean its a conspiracy'. The conspiracy meme has been so thoroughly rammed into the population, that it now serves it purpose very well. It acts as a automatic reflex action to shutdown discussion and thought about an entire subject area and at the same time indicates the person proposing any ideas not vetted in the mainstream media as to be a loony.
