Spike is Best

The words "re-open the economy" form one of the biggest, most insidious lies we've been fed in a long time.

The economy has not closed. Rather, the insupportable flab of financialization is facing the prospect of the scalpel, and the real economy has begun to show its true face (the preservation of life, in all its forms and colours and modes, meaning every good occupation no matter how "small" or mundane), and the very real possibility of what it can re-adapt to, very much overnight (even in the face of criminal incompetence and negligent homicide by political leaders) brings with it the picture of the real role of government and economic solidarity. Which is to say: the realization of where the money should be circulating.

The situation of a people prospering in an economy - or making do in a crisis by dividends that is rightfully theirs through government - without the Stock Market is one which the Powers will not tolerate. The low key, puttering, Bradburyesque 1950's savour of it catching refreshingly onto people's noses and making them think new thoughts has the Bezos of the world and their self-protecting Spray Tan shills pissing their pants. You can be sure this is the one and only reason why Spray Tan isn't doling out what, say, Germany is doling out. Yet Spray Tan wants his name signed to the pittance because re-election.

They will have you believe that your financial situation, your being able to get by prior to the crisis, was dependent upon them and their economics. It's a lie. They are vultures in a crisis or in "ordinary times" - it doesn't matter to them. They seek their self-protection and advantage in every circumstance. They try to play people with their very real and sudden insecurity. Don't look back and think, "I had it better economically before all this." Think rather, "I would have been economically better off before, were it not for these criminal parasites." That's nearer the mark. But better yet: "The complete corrupt disregard for human life to further their self-interests makes me want to be creative in serving others."

And also, talk about welfare and inflation is all bullshit. You want ample money supply to be circulating in the system at a time like this. People who receive these cheques are immediately spending it back into the economy. Which is not what happens when the Bezos get their multi-billion bail-outs. What's circulating in the economy can be taxed back out.

Just remember: you think you're world is coming down around you, so to speak, and you are re-adapting (so to speak). It's the exact same for the multi-billionaires and their political lapdogs and their incestuous fortunes. They are "re-adapting" - but according to their mode. When they say we need to "re-open the economy" what they are saying is that they need you to return to being the Slave Class.

They are going to try and pull every trick out of their bag. Keep your shrewd button on.
