We can't dodge the blame! And we shouldn't!

Its beginning to annoy me. Every single news carries stories of the economic collapse and pointing the finger of blame. In reality no single person can do anything. The cause of the problem was the buying of millions of things without any means of paying it back... and this was done by the majority of people not by a select few. But, of course the select few who try to fool us into believeing that they have this sort of power will now throw the ball of blame amongst themselves and in playing this childs game they will appear to actual have that sort of power.

I know that if I cannot afford something then I don't buy it. I've argued before in this blog the real laws of economics. I could not afford a mortgage so I've lived in a garage for the last few years. In doing this I've done my little bit to keep the price of houses down. This is the right thing to do I think. Other people have been less imaginative and have bought regardless of the reality of the situation. And as they take more risk they have forced others to do do the same.

There does seem to be a weakness in humans that we don't "think globally and act locally", but rather we often "think locally and act globally". This is what is to blame and be it economics, high food privces, or global warming it all stems from the same oxymoronic selfish-herding behaviour (with emphasis on moronic!).

What annoys me more however is that living in a garage is probably not allowed because of health and safety law - so this law which was created in one situation to protect tenants, now used in another case contributes to an economic crisis which risks the health of billions!

So we are to blame, each and every one of us. And we should be to blame, because otherwise we let the screen icons steal the originality and responsibility from our own existences.

I hear that the bail out has been rejected. I wonder. It is childsplay to explain how we got into this situation and everyone knew it was coming (I did several years ago). The only rational conclusion is that this has been planned. Knowing how stupid the average sheep-human is, you keep interest rates down and suprise suprise people start to borrow vast amounts without any thought for how they will pay it back. Then like a fish swallowing a hook, you got them and you haul the sheep-humans in and make trillions of pounds. That's what I thought was going to happen, it seems that in reality it wasbn't so cleanly executed and the top bankers needed direct bailing out by the tax payer... messy but what is anyone going to do about it?

Really we must claim our lives back from the gallery of illusions and not play into their hands with insurance, interest, debt, democracy and all these vehicles of exploitation.

"The Jewish Fallacy" OR "The Inauthenticity of the West"

I initially thought to start up a discussion to formalise what I was going to name the "Jewish Fallacy" and I'm sure there is ...
