Somebody is making a lot of money off of the "security theater" going on in the US today.

Good points were made as well about how the "enemies" in the "War on Terror" were chosen.

It's all for freedom and destroying terror, nothing to do with making a grab for someone else's oil, nope.

Did you watch this documentary?
I was speaking with a 60 years old colleague, explaining him that I had my nose in Marxist books since about 6 to 8 monthes and observing why today the working poor society was reaching UE.

I spoke about Reagan, Friedman, Thatcher, etc...
And... he already knew all that and also was blaming this ugly form of Capitalism.
I asked him: "Were you interested by Marx' theories?"
He told me: "No, I never read a line of his theories, but I watched this documentary and was deeply disguted of what happened to the workers in several countries."

So when I came back home, it was the first thing that I watched.

Damned. I never really spent time during my life to learn what happened in South America or in England.
But I had no idea how strong US government imposed dictatorship in South American countries.

Watching this documentary, I do not understand how Thatcher was so popular in England. She was a witch.

Here's a little story I've heard on the radio 2 days ago: An happy! president of a french car maker leaves with 2 millions euros in his pocket Why : The shareholders are so happy too: + 20 per cent.
4 000 men and women fired.
Life is so beautiful.
Horror? Oui.

I watched parts of it, skipping through.

Remember those of us here in the USA had a bird's eye view of what has unfolded since 9/11, it is apparent to any intelligent person that our beloved leaders haven't been telling us the whole truth, and some of their "solutions" are meant to line the pockets of people higher up in the economic food chain, rather than effectively protect the people at large from terrorism.

When a majority of Spanish and French people are against bullfighting, Spanish and French governments do not ban them, because that bring money to a very very small part of their economy.
They let vicious people instill animal torture in the brain of children.

Last year, only in Spain, 20,000 bulls were tortured, humiliated and murdered during bullfighting festivities to make it an entertainment.

More than 91% of Spaniards no longer have any interest in bullfights.
99.3% of French people will never see bullfights.

Being a bullring bull is probably more fun than being a cow raised just for beef, you'll get your shot at a human.

EUROPEAN Budget Commissioner Gunther Oettinger

“My Concerns and expectations are that the coming weeks will show that markets, government bonds and Italy’s economy could be so drastically impacted that they serve as a signal to voters not to vote for populist on the right and left.”

It seems that democracies have to follow the Capitalist dictatorship.

What happened in Italy is a coup from above. It's irrelevant to whom the people of Italy gave their vote if the banks and so-called financial markets disapprove. That's what Western democracy looks like today.
