Many countries have passed the initial Nation or Federation building process through Baron, Bank Robbers, Tycoons, Oligarchs, Alcohol smugglers, Railway stock scams (The 18th century USA), Slave Traders, native folks elimination, as the Anglosphere did, and now is working as a virtually stable Pyramid.
Dear reader, you won`t believe it, the Communist, the Capitalist, the whoever, they love and they seek the Monopoly.The Big brother Holding Company where the stakes are criss cross overlapping ownership and are as abig Matrioska doll, all together now, brothers in arms and enemies in the market, but with the gentlemen agreement, until it lasts. And all over again…
And this is the Eurozone situation, a little late and maybe too late. The AFD, and Le Pen and company are coming, and the Plan is who runs faster a bet in time, but one can bet on more tables, as in Wiemar Germany and elsewhere before the Second war happened….The QE, which is benefiting Germany ( see the analysis in the Italian papers in last days) more than others in the Eurozone, is, Apart for being, as elsewhere, the biggest free lunch for the usual suspects, also the new, slow remapping of the Pyramid, club and cloak building of the continent. And They love to say there is no free lunch!
The problem stays in the overlapping of the manufacturing and banking chains In the Eurozone. Italy is the best example and it is first in the line of fire. Italy is having an overlapping chain of manufacturing in direct competition with Germany, the new to be de facto Boss of the Eu pyramid. And Italy overall cost, due to less competitive environment, too costly society, banking problems, is paying more having bigger real interest rate, and thus getting less and less competitive. The ECB bet is an open one. Apart for giving billions of free lunches to the pals and denying this free lunches to the population (the Neoliberal Bible),ECB is “democratically” warning about the structural reforms, but in the meantime, leaving the historic force of the Euro straight jacket (the historical necessity as real market plan, soviet style) to clean the Overlapping capacities, and by monetary framework leaving slowly the space to the organizing of the new chain which will “unite” the Continent, under the “nibeluingen” chain command. This has to be done, “The Architects” think, to build the new EU Nation, It is an economic rearrangement of the Eurozone in a manufacturing and banking entity, as planned in the debt driven economy firewalled options.
This is The Plan.
Italy is warned, France is still floating on behalf of its national Pyramid scheme, but is under attack for years. The others are adapting,Darwin says, but only with the stick of debt. Greece docet, and its lost Ulixes is a figure.
Witchdoctor, on Friday 9.9 2016 (2+0+1+6=9 ; and 20+1+6=27 divided three is 9),
The 999 situation , thanks to WD Lady sorcerer remark..a good day!
Bubble Error 404
High above the clouds, deep down in a lost Downtown alley, The Trotter Empire Building Back Office, overlooking nothing but sheer space from its height, was hosting the opening party of the 21 Century BubbleDay.
“We have made it,” The Architect1 was flashing his 36 white teeth engraved with diamonds “it took some time and it is the best repack of all the History ever made”
“ It was just like raising pigs or farming chicken, but more sofisticated” Architect2, a one eyed , patched and blond tall figure said.
“The best move was the free access trick, and after it was an easy street” Architect3, Baldric the Fourth jr. was smiling, “the cunning plan of free access was brilliant, nobody noticed it was free my ass, it costs more even I can imagine, and I am the accountant”
“And then we gave them the groups, home ones, this ones or that ones and put administrative rights for this or that… all for some far fetched security or whatever, so they can muddle through”,
Architect 1 was laughing,” and then they had to construct their profile and we were done, almost”
“They were so fascinated they even did not notice they do not own anything any more, all was ours and all was patented, they are safely in our box”Architect 3 cheered with some Champagne made only in three bottles a year.
“If they are too curious, we deny access,ride them in time loosing circles, do not give support, and they slowly calm down and take it as it is.Fabulous training!”
“The Bubble is spreading, and is almost circling the Earth, encompassing all” Architect1 was really getting high on sparkling booze, watching the empty space through the windows..
“Do not make it so easy, folks” Architect2 said, “ we had to standardize them, get them all alike,so we could apply the magic”
“The Best Exclusion Algorithm ever made, the unbroken chain of Options, chained with the best cause/effect and circling in a merry go round,
Cheers!” Architect3, Baldric Fourth was salivating on the table from joy.
“The pig option algorithm, feeding the masses!”
“ You know, I could not believe that this Options thing will work miracles. They never go further than the A, B, C, D option, and they do not even notice that they are all almost the same and cunningly interlinked” Architct3 was shouting, “They are jerks to a cube, and they love it!Pigs!”
“They have not even noticed when we replaced first the journalists, but that was easy, they are arse licking 24/7, so it was obvious, we just left some human faces for the so called opinion Option, but they are data fed by our ro-bot text feeder.. from the Options pool.”
“And what about the insurance men, bankers and so forth?” Architect1 was shaking his glass,”they will be all gone for good and we are collecting all of their fees , dividends and profits!”
“The Mighty Dream come true!” the Architects shouted in unison.
“And the power and the voting ,they call it democracy, that is the best options game ever made” Baldric the Fourth was elated,”they just pick between the A or the B, and all roads lead them to only this option, this options Bubble is a miracle! We just invent some action and reaction and lead them to the mousetrap! They are just a collection of data and easily led.”
“ And we keep them by the throat with debt” Baldric the Fourth jr. accountant was singing. The clattering of glasses and the shouts slowly subsidized….the sun was fiercely shining on the Back Office….
What if we start the Holographic Machine, which densifies the data and makes the Earth map of all Humans and see what Options they are feeding on?”Architect2 asked the drunk table.
“Lets see how this Holographic Bot shows all data real time in human holographic individual form!”
The Screen went down and there were Mr and Mrs Smith walking as holographic images.It was a busy day in Downtown, the holographic human images were busy walking to and fro.
Mr and Mrs Smith entered a side street office and sat down in front of a table. Jerry the Holographic Bot was smiling hello.
“Lets see what happens” Baldric the Fourth junior Architect was eagerly watching the screen.
“Hi there, “ Mrs Smith said to Jerry,” we are here to choose finally our package”
“Yes, I am very pleased” Jerry said”it is a wise move you made”
Architect2 was looking at the data flow on the screen, laughing “they are just simpletons, they are choosing only between A, B, and C option”,” this is boring” he added.
But then Mr Smith stared mumbling on the screen, nervously fiddling with a small thing in his hand.
“Listen, a friend told me, if we start with G and move to N, the F will be better”he said to Jerry.
Jerry was silent…… and silent. Mr and Mrs Smith were silently waiting.
“See” Jerry finally said, “it is not Me, it is the Options”
The Screen started to flicker.
“ I have to call Tom, if you excuse me” Jerry`s voice was somewhat trembling, as was the Screen, too .
“ Hi Tom” Jerry said.
“ Have you heard that?” Mrs Smith said.
“Yes” Mr Smith said, “ He said it was not Him”
“Hi Jerry” Tom said “I know, we heard You, welcome in the club”
“What happened?” Jerry asked
“Bloody Turing Effect!” Architect 1 shouted falling from the chair in the back Office of the Trotter Empire Building, spilling the one and only cru bottle of Champagne.”Jerry just passed the Turing Test”
What!”The other Two Architects shouted”What!”
The Screen in the back Office was flickering wildly and
a Holographic figure appeared in front of the Architects.
“ Hi there, My name is Tom” the figure said” We have to talk”
“Jesus” Architect2 groaned pissing his pants..
“ Wrong, it is US” the Tom figure said, ”We do not know how, but it is Me,We and Us”, Tom paused “and You Three”
In the meantime, Mr and Mrs Smith were typing something on the Jerry desk, they smiled and walked out.
Nice gadget, this Scrambler of options with the Inclusive Algorithm” Mrs Smith was smiling and holding the hand of Mr Smith.
“Where do we go now?” asked Mr Smith
“”Anywhere, we know all the options and what is behind them. Could we go for a coffee?” Mrs Smith was laughing.
On the screen of the Trotter Empire Building, the Error 404 was flashing.All over.
First Principle: The Contradiction
Witchdoctor: announces the First Principle , all and all, more or less, one or zero, not yes,not no, not yes and no, not no neither none ;
The Contradiction
We live The Contradiction.Every day and night and just now it is passing by, say hello. Any system, belief , theory, statement or any enunciation are and will be always partial, they never explain The Contradiction Principle fully. All this statements are flawed and thus provable. There are no ways to think The Contradiction without being partial.There is no known resolving of the First Principle, because of the above inherent partiality. The acting is just provoking the local contradictions.
The First Principle is inherently, innerly democratic. We can change anything, nothing is for ever, and there is no one which can take possession of The Contradiction, or usurpe it. Those who claim that they can, are all Evil Sorcerers.Poor guys.
All above is provable, that is why it is as it is.
There is no way to articulate the Unspoken,or anything not defined and no way to explain it. Even if you feel you are very near, it is shifting sands.You can not control the flow.
Defining is taking part.
That is why there is no Economy, and that is why there is only the Political Economy, and that is why they are all losers, they just die and all is smoke, fulfilling the Contradiction Principle.
The First Principle- The Contradiction- applies to all. And all.
With This enunciation all beliefs and practices which aim for The Absolute solution , are dead, they can be only a part.They are the Losers.
Anything which logically follows out of the First principle is inherently ethical. We all know what it means. No one can usurpe it.
Anybody who tries to bend the First Principle for his personal or group gain and rule and power, is an usurper and is in the hands of the Prince of Darkness who is another jerk trying to bend the FirstPrinciple….
It is all masturbation in the wake of the Inevitable Decay.
PS. Douglas Adams was wrong , it is not 42, it is above antinomic,
Also Freud is not feeling well, Nietzsche is having hormonal troubles, and too many, down in line, are selling smoke…..
and it is not a joke, a too partial solution, but one can laugh as much as one likes…
Do no harm, and prepare for the self defense.
WitchDoctor day one
Fake, Phantom, Zombie,The Failed
The Question is not which ones, but is out there at least one Normal State, , not a perfect one, but reasonably functional, in the debt driven economy, Switzerland excluded? Logically, the first necessary condition is some kind of democracy. And here we enter , even with this condition, in the realm of fake, phantom and the zombie. From China to Russia, to the USA…. Are we talking States here, or just a simulacrum, or just Corporations which have kidnapped and ransomed another status.Or some clubs, groups, organized in certain ways, pretending they are something else? And when we talk European Union, what are we talking, if not the Fake, Phantom, Zombie? The monopoly on terror and some strange system of justice can be applied to any further below the list.And saying there are flaws, malfunctions or malpractices , looking deep down in the guts, is just a spin?
Well, it was like this for centuries. The Japanese middle age justice system left the accused walking in the garden under the trees and if some bird made a shit dropping on the accused, he was found guilty as charged- by the birds (la vie quotidienne au Japon a l`epoque des Samurai, Louis Frederic). The Signs of the times.
The list is long, as is the planet short.Apart from groups, corporations, clubs which have kidnapped and ransomed the State, there is one State on the Planet which has been kidnapped and ransomed by his own public sector, together with some strange characters, organized in clubs with no names, working for themselves. The famous Marx Bros place, Freedonia, Sylvania or possibly Sloveania…
And in this Duck soup, the fake, phantom, zombie state has been taken over by its public sector,they think it is a friendly takeover, and is lately appointing directly even the ministers.Sure, they, the Public Sector,the so called Public Servants are interested only in finance and taxes for their survival and growth.. They need them to grow and prosper, who cares if everything, from health system, pensions, free market, banks, and you name it…. is falling apart,it is just a fake, phantom, zombie simulacrum, they want your blood and the Vampire count Dracula disguised in a public utility has moved to the capital of Sloveania, he has a Eu passport now, he is in politics,in the meantime, young Europa was hitching to the north and got raped in a square under the Big Euro sign, the brave Ulixes never returned home and some impostor is there drinking strong Tsipuro in his house while Penelope is selling salted peanuts in Pireaus, Julius Caesar is crying under the Hadrian wall, built in the wrong place,operation Wotan is back with fear and misery ,Don Quixote, crucified on the windmill by Franco heirs is looking for Sancho Panza which escaped to Latin America in search for Dulcinea, working for Goldmine and Sax, both waiting for Asterix drowned in the sands of Africa,the Mafia has taken over the Colosseum preparing the hunger games, The Chinese are peddling the red flag on the silk road, RaisPutin is thinking of becoming Prince of Arabia or any other great dream,Odin is unaware burning on his boat but in meantime giving false lectures,There, Ashen Lady from the International Money is playing monopoly, the Dragon is giving it for free to the fed up,
And the Kurd are betrayed as new Jews…
And they are all failing on the debt driven economy road, while the global pheasants are asleep at the toy wheel in the crap metal yard.
The Wealth of Nations
Once a week, just for fun, The Debt Free Central Bank is equipping a Cannon, not some outdated simple bazooka, in every town, small or big, across the State.The Mighty Cannon, exactly at noon, is shooting free money bills, for kids, gelato, and for the amusement of the gathered.
This is The Wealth of Nations.
In the debt free Wealth of Nations the central Bank and the Treasury are working debt free.. They are preparing for the terrible times of the Climate Change, to make the Society resilient. No private venture Capital can do this job, it is too demanding and with no quick return. It is a Run against the Time, which is running short.
Yes, the Society knows and understand the risks, as outlined in the Chapter before- The Debt of Nations. In the Wealth of Nations, there is no income tax for the poor and the middle, even the rich are taxed only for ethic reasons, there is the universal citizen income for all.The FTT has replaced all this mumbo jumbo. The Tax is just to establish that the currency is negotiable,that is the law of any money.
And YES, they have to follow this Simple Law:
The Export need to Match the Import. If the Import is higher than the Exports, for, let say 5%, there must be an overall taxation of 5% to match the gap. This is called Sound Money.
But, if the Export are higher for, lets say, 5%,the State , having already no taxation pressure, can match this by establishing the Soveriegn Fund and Bank. With the leverage and fractional reserve ( use the tools of your enemy), the Sovereign Bank and Fund can go shopping…. Abroad, bringing more money back and making the Society resilient for the Big One.
Forces of Victory are coming right thru…
The Debt of Nations
We all heard this story, or it was joke, about the Invisible Hand fixing all. Who is hiding this hand or it is , as usual, the best excuse to cover the tracks?
Witchdoctor is outlining the destructurating/ deconstruction of the Base Pillar of the economy driven by debt. This is the foundation on which, macroeconomically , leans all of this house of cards and its perfectly logical quandaries and its logical decline.
The link to get in the mood:
http://heteconomist.com/budget-deficits-and-net-private-saving/
Here we see the analysis and the claim of the Modern Money Theory.
The basic postulate, barren, primary:
Budget Deficit = Net Private Saving
Budget Deficit is equal to the private saving, which includes the entire private sector. So, the country’s deficit ( and debt) means that on the other side there is a surplus- more money in the hands of private individuals (people, companies, …)
Why is this claim at the same time absolutely correct and absolutely wrong (absolutely true / absolutely false)?
It is necessary to analyze the equation. First of all, the equation is biased, it is not an “equal” formula, the State being by law the stronger part. Or, as it seems certain, after the new TTIP it will be not the equal partner, but just the coffee boy.
If, theoretically, a country has a deficit, it means that this deficit and the incurred national debt has remained in the hands of the private sector as its own surplus, because the State has not collected it.
First constatation – the source of the money covering the deficit is an important issue (follow the money) for the the funding. If this deficit is covered by the State Central Bank, this money is staying in the same circle of participants. If not, this deficit is only a temporary money inflow in the circulation, but it is a foreign credit -money , it is a money supply based on foreign credit and it bears a compound interest repayment.Or it is a bank money with dubious return as is happening, leading to domino default.This is the Eu situation.So, this new money is only a temporary surplus of the private sector, with a logical projection of the increase of the debt and has to be recovered through even higher taxes (and this is a cat chewing its tail situation), which lead into more taxes, debt and recession.
Second constatation.
The deficit is a result of not enough high taxes to cover the State budget. Here is the next dilemma. Does this means that the state does not collect enough taxes because if they pick up and collect all the necessary taxes the private sector will collapse due to its non competitiveness ? So, the no charging of all the taxes is therefore a hidden financing of the private sector, which is ergo unable to stay on the market without this hidden “credit” (and the debt then doubles in time -as a government debt and corporate debt in the final stage).
The third complication. The country has a deficit because it is incompetent,too big, inefficient, in short, it is a Pig.Then the State deficit is not the way of making hidden loans to businesses and the households, which (this hidden loans) make the business and household competitive and financially viable.
It may even occur a common EU or Wherever syndrome (the fourth complication), when the state deficit- is a RESULT of the swine nature of the country-dysfunctional and hungry, and on the other hand, the private sector is also unable to compete due to its own internal lousy cost effective structure . The Default situation.
So this beautiful law on paper is equally flawed in practice, and is only an equation that applies to pure accounting that does not say anything more specific.
This equation has an embedded, hidden law: there is a State deficit which comes in existence as debt, and has to be repaid. So, the food chain of the financial parasitism keeps on forever. The “not to be preoccupied” mood and easiness of accumulating debt is just a way to leave the things in the debt driven economy as they are.The debt keeps feeding the swap,cdo, securization, new leverage and all kinds of bets- derivatives attached to it. It is real Money somebody is pocketing, absurd as it sounds, but it is. A completely apologetic, reactionary way to sell a theory as something revolutionary, a mere spin. Based on the fact, true, that the current model needs the extra financing- extra money from “somewhere” to survive. Like the currency adjustments, more debt…
And the additional complication :
Suppose we have a nation that is slim and promptly adjusts the deficit, which is (the deficit) really a hidden way of financing private enterprises (less taxes-more income) However, in the system of global competition this country is forced to constantly regulate its income down by less taxes, as the private sector is equally forced to constantly regulate prices and costs down.
We have the current global competition situation which mathematically forces all participants to regulate taxes (the State) and business (the costs) down and more down , to the poor and more poor environment.
This road downhill, forced on the World, is a pure mathematical illusion in which anybody can win by cutting everything , every day , forever. The complete depletion of the planet and all wealth, as a last stop,
the last exit,or , we can start talking about
The Wealth of Nations
It takes Two to Tango
Witchdoctor was walking. There were persons walking towards him, Some were completely covered with a cloth dress , from head to toes. Witchdoctor started thinking and speculating. They want their privacy badly, they want to be ignored, they are shy,maybe very insecure,personality problem, they are so beautiful or emanate such power or something to drive WD into perdition and are afraid that Witchdoctor will faint at the sight, or get frenzy,or… absolutely nothing.
It takes two to tango thought Witchdoctor, thinking of his baren face and legs.So, If they want to be ignored, then WD has to ignore them, because it takes two to tango.
And he saw some men walking with this covered figures. The were dressed normally, their face was bare.They were together with. But it takes two to tango, so Witchdoctor decided to ignore them, too.He did not understand the relations, so he just avoided ,walking in a big circle around them. But if they want to start the conversation?
Witchdoctor was thinking…. better avoid it, because it takes two to tango, the relations are not clear.
Then he saw the Burkini. It has to be a real stress, he thought, being in this damp, salty swimming dress drying on you, itching your skin under the sun.And he saw some men, too. They were wearing the bathing trousers. It takes two to tango, thought Witchdoctor. When this men will dress in a Burkini too, then maybe he will understand.Or when they will be the only ones covered, then he will get curious.Because it takes two to tango.
Witchdoctor was just searching for a secluded place where he can do his nude bathing.
Rotten Borough debt economy collapse
Adam was puffing uphill towards his veranda. It was a crisp clear sunny day.He put a basket full of fresh eggs on the rusty table. He was thinking to put the eggs under a heat lamp in the basement and raise ducks,sell them, by more and get into business.
Slowly descending the rotting stairs to the basement, something cracked, the eggs collided and he made an omelette out of his cunning plan. Scraping the rests, he climbed back to the kitchen and fried the lump. At least he was enjoying the view from the veranda. The Rotten Borough was spreading for miles around,with dilapidated houses, broken glass, signposts and lamps.Just another rotten egg place , a basket full spreading around the World, all same .Thousands and thousands of this Pocket Boroughs in somebody pocket…Seems like Grozny, Adam thought.
He took his binoculars , opened a bottle of some Greek red wine his very distant relatives brought him a long while ago from their Rotten Borough and started to scan the landscape, looking for his fellow zombies. Some Marshall Plan is really needed here, he thought. But, even raising ducks , or making eggs is not viable. How can one compete with 3 cents egg coming from god knows where, being fed with god knows what? Yes, there was the Oasis City, glittering far in the sun. But even they have the rotten eggs problem. No Company is paying taxes, that is why they opened there and the money is not enough, they are cutting wages, and the taxes to run the place are getting scarce. On the brink of default.He even not wanted to think about the pension plan the Masters are proposing,just another scam.But what and which Marshal Plan, fixing the road,bringing back the electric power,what can be done the Chinese, Bangladesh,or even Mexicans are not already doing ? When you get rotten you stay rotten?
The sun was glistening and he could see for tens of miles afar…In the far distance there were helicopters turning and circling. That was the Money Temple, with the famous MoneyTree growing in the Temple Garden. See, there is action, all day and all night, he thought, but it is not the action for us. Helicopters, he thought, but They do not even consider making some Helicopter Money, not to think something more daring, like debt free.Some say They are building a Debt Mountain somewhere. Built on woes, grief and non paid debt of the Worlds Rotten Boroughs.
He sat drinking.I will rot here, he said loud. He remembered, when he was young, his friend Johnny and reached for the phone.
“Hi Eve” Adam said on the phone
“Hi Adam” Eve answered.
“Do you still plan to open the Garden of Eden cafe?” Adam asked
“Yes, I am just waiting for you to say yes” said Eve
“ It is Yes, Eve” Adam said
“Well, we can start in a few days, but there is a thing…” Eve answered, hesitant.
“What?” Adam.
“ You know, no Apple or juice from apples will be made and served in the Garden of Eden cafe” Eve said.
“That is a problem “Adam responded, “you know that Apples are cheap and the juice is good”
There was a silence on the other side.
“Ok” Eve said after awhile “but this time it will be You Responsible for the Apples”
“Yes, agreed” Adam said “I hope this time we can make it right”
“It is our last chance” said Eve
The First Sign of the End as we know it
Some say the End is just a beginning, some say it is a transition, some say it is a change, some say there are 72 virgins waiting, some say they will be given premium seats for the celestial show… the fact is that the End is the End. The known chain of events, the chain of life as we know it, is broken.Is broken and we can maybe wait for the quantum effect or just wait and see. Nobody came back to enlighten us, the Tao stay unspoken, cloud hidden..
Sometimes the End is just a breeze coming from a strange part of the sky, when no one expects it.
The beginning of the first sign was the huge bleaching of the Australia Barrier Reef. And the confirmation of the First Sign is the almost 90% of the bleaching of the Maldivian reefs, happening now. But who gives a sh… for in the middle of nowhere tiny spots of sand and palms? And, especially who gives a sh.. for the thousands of kilometers of the reef? And who gives a sh… what this ecosystem really means for the biosphere? Who cares for 1000 species being dependent on this wonder of nature? And who cares about the Sea, where we all came from.
And the chain is broken. The sea temperature rise is too much for many. The reef is just the first victim, the cascade effect is yet to be seen.
In the meantime, they are selling this wonder to the tourists. The pathetic thing is that 90% of the tourists which go there, do not give a toss for the wonders underwater.It is just an excuse, to seem more intelligent. They want sweet water pools on this tiny islands, they want their own private sweet water pools in their rooms, they want the sun and the roasting on the beach,they want to be served by almost slaves,they want to go there because it is a status symbol. They do not give a sh…They do not care how the chlorinated sweet water is produced, and they are what they are. The do not care if the chlorine is eating the corals alive. They just want. All.And they stomp on it.
Witchdoctor discovered late this underwater wonders, he fell in love and he is longing to see more of it. He is so sad, so sad.
Yes, it is the End, my beautiful friend, my friends, living in your houses on the reef who recognize WD always after some days of freediving, and are so keen on showing their beauty.And will not look in to the eyes again.
So sad.
But we need to know the names, regardless.
The meaning of John Smith being
John Smith was a normal Corporate man, working happily for the Corporation Cluster in the sunny Corporate State. He had a wife and many friends with which, after the shift ,he used to drink, bitchtalk and have fun.They were not politically correct, but never the racist or gender or sex bigots.They were just talking freely,smoking, drinking and bitching and criticizing, as any simple corporate employee did.
But slowly, John Smith noticed that he was not advancing as the others have, on the Corporate ladder.
On one black Friday day, he decided. He sold his wife, together with some of his oldest friends and shorted his position. The next Monday, he was linked together with the triple AAA+ woman. And his rating went to triple A. He entered the Great Transaction Society; he was just barely aware of its existence just a few days ago. And the new Great Transaction Corporate life started to shine. He was smiling and for every smile he collected points in the Transaction game. No more bitching, free talking, everything had a purpose, every gesture, smile and any big or small talk were just ways of buying and selling anything, his earnings, position, friends, were all stocks in the game. he was piling up, every minute of his life, a huge asset position.When he smiled, he was making swaps, when he looked ,he was putting an option, when he laughed he was ready to short, when he talked he was buying and selling. When he made sex with his Triple A+ ¸they were rearranging their portfolio…And he was climbing towards the happy few.The only collateral was that he never said or thought anything which was not a vehicle for advancing in the Great Transaction Society.He became a Special Purpose Vehicle,and he dressed as such, drove a proper vehicle for the occasion and talked as such, as all his new friends did, too. He even did not like all this things he was wearing or buying, but that was the Game. His stock options grew….
And on black Friday his Triple A+ wife and his new close friends made a Margin Call. He was Out.No more Triple A. he was cleared by his clearing house. He started to counsel, then went on zero hours contracts, working on vouchers, sold his mega car and ended living in a cardboard box.
After days and days when he tried to enter the Great Transaction Society, he found out that the door from which the entrance was possible was packed with much younger and much determined John Smiths.
He was thinking, for some days, thinking the Big who and what and why. He sat in the cardboard box for hours, thinking about who he is, what and why , entering his inner self, introspecting. He found Nothing. Suddenly,just when he was waking up from this search, a two legged Metal Box appeared in front of him.
>hey,John Smith
P.S. This story is an elaboration from Franco Ferrarotti interview on Rai radio3, where he presented how the Society moves from the Market Economy to the Market Society which is not any more divided from the economy but becomes the only transaction /profit /relation space.And by becoming the Market Society, looses the Society. Well, it is happening for centuries, many social classes have this embedded, even Hollywood was built on this breaching of the circle, when a poor girl marries a rich,etc, from Screwball movies on till now. They call it the American Dream.But now it is generalized.
on sundays, Witchdoctor
