A facade, that sums it up.
Each one of us, except the young. No excuse.no judgement.
Power makes corrupt, a mighty enemy.


Greece’s appointed–not elected–prime minister is Lucas Papademos, He is a former governor of the Bank of Greece, a member of Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission, and former vice president of the European Central Bank. In other words, he is a banker appointed to represent the banks.
The banks are taking no chances: Monti is both prime minister and minister of economics and finance.
Monti’s background indicates that he represents both the EU and the banks. He is former European advisor to Goldman Sachs, European chairman of the Trilateral Commission, a member of the Bilderberg Group, a former EU Commissioner, and a founding member of the Spinelli Group, an organization launched in September 2010 to facilitate integration within the EU, that is, to advance central power over the member states.
Western elites–the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group, the EU, transnational corporations, oversized banks, and the mega-rich–no longer believe in democracy.


Surely they have never believed but always expecting a reward, profit or gain.
Give them cars so we get more of the energy surplus of mother nature, tax both man and woman with their right to work and vote on the one party system that is in control of energy flow.
Maybe we really were wiser hunting and gathering for our needs, 3 hour a day work and the rest of time and energy to explore in silence that magic what surrounds us.
Everybody knows this is nowhere.......NY.
It be that other side, windy and alive that matters, your linky by internal silence and a surplus of energy saved that determines your chances. To explore our inorganic side is the only task worth and now maybe the only task left possible in the future, to open your bubble and leave this fixation of internal dialogue, object blablabla.
Not to seek the spirit is to seek death and that is nothing.
If death would not hunt us we could indulge in self pity endlessly, this death is what moves us and all organic life.
To transport your being, evolve our true natural inorganic part and keep life energy, release person.
Wise people listen to personal death and take action to prepare for survival as long as possible, to see how far we can go.
Out of curiosity.
A romance with knowledge.

Geopolitics. Billions of adults making a mess.
Everything being equally unimportant in the face of death.
I hope that wiki will survive the shift.

No mask to drop. These people are the managers for our capitalist masters. And we are the consumers and labour. We live to serve the economic order.

Democracy, with a vibrant middle class as its basis, is a very expensive and energy intensive undertaking.

Ancient Greece's democracy rested on the shoulders of the slaves who constituted 2/3s of the poleis' population. In Europe, the birth of democratic institutions coincided with colonial conquests that brought the colonial riches to the newly-democratic states. In the US, the middle class rose to prominence due to the huge economic and strategic benefits that WWII brought to this country.

The middle class in the modern democratic countries is believed to be occupying the greatest share of the social pyramid. It is an illusion that exists primarily due to the fact that the scholars normally limit the boundaries of these social pyramids to the national borders of these countries. This is an artificial limitation, because these country's well being now depends on the entire globe. Expand the boundaries to the entire globe and the "middle class" will show where it belongs on the social pyramid - at the top, on the place normally occupied by aristocracy.

Similar thing with the democracy: this is a political arrangement which by default is believed to be "nationwide", but in the global terms, this is a luxury available to aristocracy. Remove the rest of the world from underneath the "democratic" areas and their democracy will drop like house of cards.

This is why, for example, the promises to the newly-democratic countries, in Europe and elsewhere, that the advance of the democracy will bring prosperity and create a vibrant national middle class do not materialise. When they fail to materialise, to keep the sheeple happy, those who made these promises explain that the progress is hindered by "corruption", or by meddling in by the ghostly evil forces from outside and so on.

The middle class itself was formed to a great extent as an extension of the state bureaucracy. This is how the top classes shared the spoils from their advancement with their populace. Think of these huge service industries. Some top legal firms has more legislating power than the parliaments do, as their lawyers are empowered to create precedents in the courts that later become law.

As the things develop, the "middle class" spreads thinner over the globe. As a result, the "middle class" numbers shrink in the advanced countries, and this process takes its toll on the political powers normally afforded to the "middle class" and called "democracy". Drop of masks? Or relentless force called competition?
