"Ma! Obama's being mean to me!" - Pathos of the Plutocrat

[Peter Lemkin]

The American people are not ready for one at this time....

Adele, I'll grant you that!...the American People, as a whole, aren't YET ready for the truth of the past, let alone the truth of the present...and heaven forbid the truth, strength, and action needed to change the future! [Sadly!] But, I fear we run out of time, Planet, and the Oligarchy are looking toward the Final, FINAL Solution.

Thanks, Peter. But if the Final, Final Solution is anything like what I am thinking it is, the oligarchy will perish along with the rest of us. Can they be THAT STUPID???
I guess they can... Whoever can say these are intelligent beings?

Adele

I'm not [in case you hadn't guessed] part of the Oligarchy. I do study them from their actions, and have met some up front and personal [long story, but lived for a time in Aspen, Colorado and there met a few who have one of their 5-20 homes there]. My take on them is they believe in some magical fashion that they can survive, while others perish...be it environmentally [they have the BIG houses HIGH in the MOUNTAINS on LARGE plots of BEAUTIFUL still virgin ALPINE forest, for example]. They also think they have the money to move out of harms way from wars, conflicts, martial law, etc. They think the Thought Police or any Police/Spy Agency will ever arrest them or even spy on them - they have their own Police and Intelligence operatives or think they run the big ones. They are, by and large, no more intelligent that the average person - but have a hell of a lot more arrogance and hubris. They think that their money and more so their power can buy them what others can not buy at any price. In the end, they don't care about their children/legacy nor their future - less so that of Gaia. They are involved with the NOW and the next few weeks/months of money and power which blinds them and controls them as any drug.They think they are 'better' and 'chosen' in some way - predestined to rule and live above the others. They are sick and dangerous. Few of them actively plan a 'final solution', but they aren't stupid, and those who live on the blood, sweat and money of others see the end gave is near and they are damn well determined to rake in and then cash in all of their 'chips' before the 'curtain falls'...and the hell with what happens to others and the Planet/ World Polity.
