1. I (we) will not pay for “Them”
There is vendor in front of the supermarket where Withdoctor sometimes goes shopping.
She sells a magazine “The Kings of the Street”. It is a non profit magazine sold and written by disadvantaged or homeless people even if they have the social housing bare minimum guaranteed. The well worthy idea of how to earn some money and extra tips by selling the non profit magazine and not just beg hopelessly. The Magazine, which has sometimes really outstanding quality articles by the same Kings of the Street folks. Kudos for the organizers!
Last time , not long ago, WD asked her in confidence: Have you noticed that people are getting more NASTY?
She looked around and said: I think that the Covid Pandemics have shown the real faces of the people and many have thrown away their Real Masks.
So folks, a wisdom from a street vendor is as follows: It was not a Covid that by some neurological factor of scientific roots made people nasty, it was them who were pretending not to be nasty and they started to not pretend anymore. ALL ANALYSIS around COVID are deliberately wrong. The handling of the Covid situation showed the real face of the society and the handling was deliberate . The people got more rabid.
By the way, Witchdoctor has extensively written about all economic, social and political implications of Covid HERE IN THIS blog. The bad and deliberate shit handling of the pandemics by the ruling Oligarchy by their fire protection teams of spin doctors and as a firewall of this neoliberal system , led to believe the majority of the populace that this is life and so they got even more nastier as a consequence of the dog eat dog rule..
Wait for the new round of covid and by what we have seen, expect even more rabid dog eat dog social mindset.
Once upon the Time, not so long ago, there was a classic deliberate non conclusive and misleading as usual debate on some of the many talk shows on Italian TV. You know , it is the cheapest and the best way to manipulate the illiterate audience until the End Of Times.
A journo had a few seconds slip, when he asked another right wing journo about his opinion on poverty and not giving social welfare to anybody and said: hey, but you make 500.000 euros a year and you do not want this woman, who was paid black market 10 euros a day- 300 euros a month- for all day long being a care giver to some elderly , to get a 500 euros month subsidy for her family?
The guy was , unbelievable: I will not pay for them. Let them go to work.
So, dear readers, we are back in the Fatal Infection of the Eurozone. Austerity driven , and , especially the rich which have convinced the lower middle classes currently sliding into poverty, and being convinced by their spindoctors, are against giving money to the poor. Let them work, but the problem is there is no work down there south Italy, except for the black market underpaid jobs. The State is so being very competitive because the wages are so low that even some third world countries can not pay such low wages..
On the other hand in this way in the Eurozoen countries, which are all of them not sovereign currency issuers, taxes and new state debt are the only way to pay the welfare. But the spindoctors of oligarchy have successfully convinced the majority of populace that the only way to keep their money safe and sound is to stop paying taxes for the State welfare! Them included. So, the money , even for this believers of do it yourself has to be spent into costly private health and pension services, manyfold more expensive even for them. But in the meantime the Oligarchy and spindoctors have undercapitalized and understaffed ( except for the public administration which is a civil armed service of the Masters) all public services, especially health and pensions and so made the public health care a shambles which drives people directly into the private health sharks doctors of the long gone and discarded Hippocratic oath. Hippocratic seems to have the same meaning as hypocrisy.
This deliberate spin , paired with the Austerity principle is leading the society into downfall, disintegration and the fatal decomposition, the Final Infection leading to new barabarism. New taxes slow the growth of economy so poor get poorer, new debt makes taxes go high to pay the debt and the whole feedback double bind loop paired with EU Austerity rules and regulations ,interest hikes of the ECB included, drives the society into precipice. The motto is each man for himself and that is the fatal infection leading to decomposition.
Since the narrative that there is no money for all citizens directly leads to the eugenetics of who deserves what and for what reasons. The non deserving are identified as lazy “scrocconi” freeloaders, scroungers, non deserving even the bare life minimum. The Fatal Infection spreads and Witchdoctor can easily calculate that with the climate crash disaster, continuing austerity and this barbaric mindset, all of them leading to a huge personal , public, social and even private capital depletion, in ten years the decomposition will reach the tipping point until some authoritarian intervention is made up on some spin bollocks ground sold to the European public..
Not even the Eurozone Oligarchy plan B , of how to include the far right into the European Governance by keeping the same policies will be enough. The final stage is definitely leading to some, not exactly clear surveillance censorship and authoritarian rule, enforced by extraordinary police or whatever enforcements, something France is trying to implement already.>..
This is a logical outcome of the Debt driven economy.
2. Climate ”change”: we will all need to “Adapt”
First of all, who the hell invented the climate change concept? It has to be one of the spindoctors. The climate change concept can be used only from the point of view of the Planet. The planet has the climate change. BUT NOT THE PEOPLE , For the People, The Humans, it is not some climate change. IT IS A CLIMATE DISASTER! What the fuck is “change” when your house gets crashed by the flood or blown by the wind or hale destroys your roof, windows and solar panels? The bridge flies, or is crushed by the raging waters, the road is gone and your car is too, your working machinery, equipment and so on are broken, mud closed your cellar, the electricity is off for days and your freezers have your rotting stock of putrid food, your fields are gone from heat , hale, water ,
What the fuck is “we have to adapt” when we did not even finished paying for the loans for the property, business, fields gardens houses, washing machines, etc, the climate disaster has destroyed?
So, the Morons who invented the concept that “we have to adapt” are saying What? That people who lost everything or that the public infrastructure which is destroyed for good, will adapt to, a jungle, desert, a junkyard?
Or God forbid they are saying that the Oligarchy, the State Central Bank- the famous Lender of the Last Resort will provide debt free credit lines for the people in need?
Folks, this tale you are currently reading is currently evolving in Slovenia. The State where the Currency issuer is somewhere else, somewhere in the Eu. NO currency sovereign in sight, here.
So,
just today the Commander Ursula von der “generously” offered 100 million euros for this year, while two thirds of the country is underwater and thousand of businesses are closed and tens of thousand jobs are in clear danger. 100 million is nothing, folks. Absolute nothing, not even for a few bridges, and hundred bridges more are waiting to be passed…But the Austerity….
Not enough, the Commissionaries of the Plan said Slovenia can use the famous money , the Recovery Fund, which, by the way, was given to Slovenia for completely other projects, to fix partially this disaster. See? Nobody noticed that this is very strange, they give money as debt for one reason and after they give the exact same money for other reason, so, the money is missing for one way or reason or another… Even the fact that one has to BEG to make Debt to repair such huge damages is something outstanding. So what the King said; please go into debt or what? Nobody knows what the King really said except to beat around the bush, take time and use plenty of emotional rhetoric on the spin channels. Time heals all woes and people forget.
If the Slovenian Govt, as it seems, thanks profoundly and kneel in front the EU Commission for this beggars tip, then we all will be soon “Kings of the Street”!
Maybe in a few years the roads and most of the bridges will be rebuilt, but in meantime, who will pay or donate for the people who lost all? Only the loans are left for them, the old ones which the water has washed away, and which bank will give new loans to persons when all their collateral to insure the loans is gone with the wind? Who will calculate the lost production and profit and debt repayment by growth, which is the rule of the debt driven economy? Who will notice the sliding back of the people standard of living by 15 years when all factors , internal and external , point into a new recession, apart for some growth in public works?
Yeah, there will be “Kings of the Street” taking nasty looks from the shoppers passing by.
But folks there is a poetic moment. In Slovenia there is a saying: who does not works should not eat. The Calvinist protestant logic embedded. What they will say now, when the climate disaster has taken all away from them?
Or what they will say when all their leaders, spindoctors and economists have always claimed that the State is like a Family, and so everybody has to live within their means? They were and are the shining followers of the Schwabian housewives economics, even after the departure in pension of the Frau Angela.
They are now in the position of repeating the beginning of this post: WE WILL NOT PAY FOR THEM! We do not want to pay for this freeloaders.
Witchdoctor makes no prisoners. If they claimed for decades this austerity cargo cult religion of deliberate bullshit, than they have to be consequent. DO nothing, let them live within their means and become the “Kings Of The Street”. The same applies for the businesses, the roads and so on. You have lost your job? Go and live with your family within your means. Your children want to study? Go and break with hammer the rocks to make gravel, as they do in India. In the spare time, after 16 hours of smashing stones by hand, you may study. If you have earned enough , within your means.
If it is true that Pope Francis said in Portugal; nothing is free in life, except for the love of Jesus, you know the conclusion.
So Witchdoctor is seriously thinking of not giving for free, no free lunch donation to Caritas for the people in need. Since the Pope said that there is no free lunch, which is de facto a Witchdoctor donation, since the Rulers said there is no free lunch, The Central Bank of the Eurozone said that the money out of thin air are within their means and not YOURS, you can only spin the pathetic tale of the disaster, until the next one comes this autumn…
But,
Jesus loves you.
Even if you have the fatal infection?
