He seems so right but the application of his principles were happily traded for rich folks and Putin.

My gloomy assessment is that the bad guys have now been more or less able to close the circle (through the judicious use of the media, huge amounts of money, complacent political classes, and an effective intervention into the noosphere (societal ideation)). The evidence from Wisconsin, Greece, Canada is that they are able to twist democracy to support policies which make things worse for the mass of the population and to put in place measures which lock-in and reinforce their political position. My feeling is that the system is more likely to implode rather than move to any broadly desireable outcome including the laughable insanity of " return of true capitalism and the free market" whatever on earth that might possibly mean.

Steve http://www.clivemaund.com/article.php?art_id=2744 last bits of a short article: The world needs a long and deep depression in order to purge itself of excess debt and the distortions, inefficiences and misallocation of capital resulting therefrom, and it is going to get it, QE and hyperinflation first or not. All the daily noise in the media about the Greek election, or any elections, or the hyped up Fed meetings and pronouncements, or what Mrs Merkel thinks and says etc is just irrelevant fluff, detail and distraction for the unthinking masses, and ultimately is not going to avert the grim outcome of this appalling mess. Not until all this debt is repudiated and the world has gotten the usurious banking system off its back, with its tentacles reaching deep into government everywhere, will the world be able to move forward again. Then at long last we will be able to hail the return of true capitalism and the free market. __._,_.___ <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97476590/grpId=15209059/grpspId=1705083512/msgI d=19064/stime=1340098933> Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ottawadissenters/join;_ylc=X3oDMTJnODI4NTlrBF 9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzE1MjA5MDU5BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA4MzUxMgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsaw NzdG5ncwRzdGltZQMxMzQwMDk4OTMz> (Yahoo!
