He understands the Matrix Excerpt <<I have read an article that postulates that the authorities are deliberately following a course that will end in Federal bankruptcy, in order to make it politically possible for remaining areas of the economy that are still publicly owned to be privatised. I always find the US election year highly amusing. The candidates appear out of nowhere and zig-zag all over the country attending colourful rallies where supporters are herded together like sheep and whipped up into a state of wild enthusiasm for the benefit of the cameras. The vast majority of these innocent supporters have no idea that the two parties seemingly pitted against each other, the Democrats and Republicans, are actually two sides of the same coin. America is governed by huge corporations who bankroll election campaigns and candidates according to whoever will further their interests once in power. The duopoly of the two main parties is a circus designed to create the illusion amongst the masses that they live in a democracy. If you live in the US and you don't believe me then ask yourself why your children face growing up consuming GM foods and drinks containing aspartame, why your national parks are being opened up for logging and mining and why, with millions living in conditions of poverty, the defense budget is being hugely increased and so on. The public, of course, will believe anything, as long as it's presented to them in the right way by a compliant syndicated media. Hence the grossly distorted figures for inflation and unemployment, which have been massaged downwards. There is a tremendous incentive for reducing the inflation figures because it means that you can dodge paying cost of living increases to the unfortunates on fixed incomes. >>
