Margaret Thatcher and the Fog of Davos

Nobody’s Opinion:

There was a terrible car accident on Florida’s highway 95 this weekend. Nine people were killed because of fog. In fact, there was so much fog that the ambulance and police had trouble finding the wounded once they got to the scene. That’s pretty much sums up the state of the world right now. If you watch the news, it looks like most of the people in the world are in a fog: mentally, spiritually, and economically.

Riots, riots, riots, and more riots.  

As you can see from the words of Margaret Thatcher, this consolidation of a few unelected elite at the top controlling the money and therefore the lives of the global populations has been gaining momentum for quite some time now. Today, England is trying to keep it’s sovereignty, from the unelected elite in the EU, and it’s a hard fight.

Last week in Davos, Switzerland (What a better place for the rich to feel safe…hidden high in the mountains.) where the elite meet openly each year… Klaus Schwab said he remained a deep believer in free markets but that capitalism is out of whack and needs to be fixed “to serve society.”

It’s the “needs to be fixed” that bothers me. There was nothing wrong with capitalism in the first place. Transferring trillions of dollars from the taxpayers of the United States to bail out banks all over the world is hardly what anyone would call “capitalism.” But that’s not the point is it? From 2002 to 2007, 65 percent of all income growth in the United States went to the top 1 percent of the population. No matter how you want to slice that…the rich are doing fine after the great “recession” the rest of us, are not.

I know. I know…you might say..Joyanna, Obama is using class warfare to justify his socialistic ways. And that’s certainly true. But Obama lies. If he really believed what he was saying, that we should take more from the rich…he would have NEVER bailed them out in the first place, making the poor people of the Unites States pay for all those big ‘evil’ companies and banks. He believes in redistribution alright..he redistributed all our money to the rich. And so did George W. Bush.

What if Obama is not different than a Romney, or a Newt, or even a Rick Santorin? What if, the network of the rich elites are all tied together? According Chrystia Freeland, in her article in the Atlantic, (Jan. 20111) “The New Ruling Class, How the Global Elite is Leaving You Behind”..that’s exactly the case.

According to her, (And she should know, she hangs out with them.)  they go to the same hotels, fly private jets, and they all have many homes in many countries. And they stick together. They do not have, nor do they care to have, any affiliation with any one nation. It’s a borderless world, but to the few hundred elite, it’s a small one.

As we watch Romney battle Newt in Florida, we take note: Now that corporations can run attacks ads on Presidential candidates and whoever has the most companies with the most money in their pockets, gets the permission to pass GO. Their payback is big. GE—who gave millions to Obama’s election, paid no taxes last year on their $14 billion dollar profit. Jeffery has hotels on Boardwalk. GE will try hard to get Obama elected again. It’s the least they can do for their shareholders, right? It’s the same with all the green energy plants that Obama gave billions to. They gave to him first.

So, do we still have a government that represents us? Here’s why you can be sure, whoever gets elected will always put the elites who gave them money, before YOU.

The proof is right before our eyes: When a man like John Corzine misplaces $60 billion dollars of other people’s money, and no one even arrests him, what does that tell you?

A. They are all stupid B. They just like the guy. C. He personally handles their stock portfolios. D. The corruption in Washington is all pervasive. E. He’s one of them. F. All of the above.

Not one person in Congress was even outraged. They gave him a “mock” scolding and he was let go.

Here’s more proof of this elite plutocracy, composed of our top politicians and multinational CEO’s:

Obama puts a woman on the Supreme Court who will be the deciding vote in keeping the unconstitutional Obama health care law of the land. The law says, since Sonia Sotomayor helped get the law  passed, she should excuse herself from the process, because she shouldn’t be allowed to judge that which she help create: But Justic Roberts, the head of the Supreme Court, a George W. Bush appointee says: No. She’s okay.

NO? The Supreme Court does not even obey its own laws?

And how about that big difference between the parties? They are blending together like sugar in molasses.

Now as we find out that our Congress has been getting rich off of insider trading, oops, do they get punished for that crime? Nope. (I don’t care if they ‘let’ themselves get by with it, it’s still a crime.)   

Obama wants to pass a law. Not that it will matter. Our elite politicians can break any law, and go unpunished. They don’t even have to pay taxes…or go by Obamacare.

They are a rich elite class. They fly on our dime, wine on our dime, and don’t care.

They have no answers to the widening inequality gap, but a mounting realization that economic growth must include the poor, that job creation is critical, and that affordable food, housing, health care and education need to be part of any solution. –AP

Nobody Says: Nice press release.

Frankly, I don’t think they are worried at all. One of the CEO of the world’s largest hedge funds said that his investment committee often discusses the question of who wins and who loses and his senior colleagues had said that the hollowing out of the middle class didn’t really matter.

“His opinion was that if the transformation of the world economy lifts four people in China and India out of poverty and into the middle class, and meanwhile means one America drops out of the middle class, that’s not such a bad trade.”

Here in the U.S., we have lived so very long in the richest and freest nation on the planet, that we can’t imagine our country not recovering from the spiral we see ahead of us. The rich are getting scared, and to hide their riches from the “people” and governments that wish to tax their riches, they now put all their wealth in philanthrocapitalistic foundations, where no one can touch it. They live in guarded communities, on yachts, and planes.

But here’s the good news: The slave trade didn’t last forever….and neither will the global plutocrats. After the fog lifts, and the damage is seen, good people, like Margaret Thatcher will come about.

You can’t keep the whole world in a fog forever. There are many lights ahead. We just have to find them.
