The everyday business of extortion. That’s the real news of the day and it’s happens every day on the Stock Market – the machinery and noise of the racket. The only news is following Fred Stock and his friends round the globe cashing in on militarily created opportunities – outright invasions, arming local terrorists, provoking instability, installing a client Dictator, removing the opposition, legitimising the Fuhrer in a bogus election.
The military intelligence mission is to unblock whatever’s blocking the smooth export of a nation’s resources onto the U.S.-controlled Export Exchanges. The U.S. will invade to protect their interests and fuck national sovereignty. “There are more important things…”.
So if the movement of resources from the poor to the rich is the only news, then what’s all this other stuff filling our pages and screens? “Good Evening, the Government says…”
Burma is the plainest example of the Military Industrial Complex today, the MIC. The Military operate with sufficient impunity that they need not even bother with disguise. They own everything. Everywhere else, the revolving door syndrome is a sufficiently clear indicator that the same practices occur. Government Minister one day offering lucrative contracts to Private Company becomes Director of Private Company the next. The news is littered with examples, enough to prove that the practice is institutionalised and systemic. But one of the primary functions of Government and a loyal media is to change the subject.
Keeping the issue well away from the MIC’s activities of the day, the loyal Institutions are taking a close look at what we the people are up to. Remember our worker who sweated the entire afternoon to harvest a crop that will feed ten thousand? He asked for a pay rise, or did he ask to join a union? He was fired. And so he went home to read about himself in the opinion columns of the newspaper… “unemployed people, lazy, scrounging, petty criminals. Did I mention lazy? They all need to be punished and boxed in by prisons and tough new laws.”
Well, at least our poor worker has had a chance to think about what happened to him, and is now an ardent supporter of land redistribution.
While the media attack us, they act as cover for the wheels of the MIC to exploit a bit more injustice at the expense of our present and of our future.
There are other arguments designed to distract us away from the issue.
