Good morning Irish slaves.
For as long as man has prowled the Earth, the golden rule has applied. He who has the gold, makes the rules. Today is certainly no different.
Actually, there is a difference. The average man today has been throughly conditioned to believe that he has a say in the affairs of his nation and that his voice/vote counts. This illusion of freedom and liberty ensures obedience and delays revolts.
The fact of the matter is that governments across the world answer to the wealthiest campaign financiers who donate the most money, both over and under the table.
These very wealthy magnates, moguls, and tycoons offer the politicians eight-figure consulting positions after their elected terms end. In exchange, the politicians introduce certain bills, vote for certain laws, terminate certain investigations, and use their political positions to influence business outcomes, both domestically and internationally.
Translation: Politicians are bought and paid for. That's why we witness the passage of many laws that have overwhelming public opposition.
Regarding the Irish bailout, I suspect that the U.S. central bank probably funded the mother lode of that, based on previous reports. |
