Bring It On, by Robert Gore

Exposure and anger concern the powers—they threaten the façade of legitimacy—but outright rejection would be intolerable. Never has an aristocracy exercised such power, lived so opulently, and received such publicity, adulation, and deference. Popular discontent given full vent and expression would threaten all that, and could lead to prison, or worse.

Hillary Clinton embodies the power, wealth, and corruption of the aristocracy, which confronts the most serious threat yet to the world order it erected after World War II. It embraces her not merely because she is emblematic, but because she will implement naked repression and wage wars, its last resorts to hold on to power. She’s never met a “national security” measure or war she didn’t love. The FBI’s refusal to recommend charges despite Hillary's obvious criminality appears to be the aristocracy’s take-off-the-kid-gloves moment.

    Excellent essay Robert. Very good thoughts and reminders for all. We are not victims of the fates or 'our betters'.

    Great Article

    The intermingling and interconnection of the globalized financial markets is the unmentioned MAD doctrine of the post cold war. We got a taste of just how devastating rocking that boat can be in 2008. And that was a minor hiccup relative to market totals world wide.
