Sure to be delivered straight to the loving embrace of needy US arms dealers with a 10% cut on the way through. Not sure if that was on Tooth's Cotswold Free Radio show last week or not...
It really surprises me how few people understand the economic reality that sits behind grants/loans/subsidies to sovereign nations. They are effectively hidden subsidies of the donating nations arms manufacturers at the taxpayers expense. If more people only realised this, they might not so readily support the media propaganda campaigns to hammer and depricate social assistance payments given to the poor and needy at home.
The IMF story might be included in Tooth's upcoming gardening show, "Bouquets, Blooms and Bullshit"?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
