I agree. I would call it a frenzy, one that probably has not yet reached its peak along the "arc of crisis". We could almost create a graphic, a mind map, a database (if I can re-use that term), of all of the state and non-state players, agencies, agents, techniques, devices and so on, as we sit on the hair-trigger of empire, globalism*, collapse, black market crime, false flag events, etc.
Quote:Globalization has brought about an age when the only tests used to judge anyone's behavior are:
Why is this so? It's the only set of behavioral tests that are globally portable. As in, we can't agree on anything at a global level except the minimal rules needed to interconnect (which is similar to how the Internet and the Web spread).
- Does it make you money or its equivalent? The corollary is that the greater the amount of money acquired, the better the behavior is.
- Did you get away with it? This test is merely based on legal enforceability (were you caught in a place that matters) and the degree of punishment (will the punishment negate or exceed the benefit of the behavior). Morality, virtue, ethics, shame, actual legality, etc. aren't considered factors.
Disagree? Insets: the city of Bell, CA and Wall Street Bankers.
