Its the Stupid Money

When Time Magazine in 1968, and Nietzsche, a little before that – stated God is dead – the “nominated ” successor was apparently Science – self nominated. In fact of course as we all know the new god was and is money – long live the new god.

And to be specific probably the corporate culture of money is the newly risen.

Power follows money so all our recent “leaders” have bowed to the Corps because that’s where the money/ power seems to be. And Money is God, and we will not worship at any other idol so help us God

And Corps need to worship at the money totem – so they are not about producing (they still quote the GNP as if that means something) they are about increasing  share value – (its the share value stupid). And as GM recently stated, if you don’t “actually ” have value you fudge it and make it happen (that is – you lie). Recently we note GM has run out of fudging and has dropped share value by missing imaginary profit predictions.

GM isn’t about producing anything, its about Share Value. Exxon isn’t about oil – its about share value. Companies dont produce things as their goal – its share value. How high can they get it. And nothing goes up for ever (except in the minds of wall street speculators) so when nature takes its course and things fall, or adjust or flex – they lie. Because reality does not exist in the stock markets its all about constant acquisition of MORE

As goes the Corps so goes the average investor – or the sucker – as they are known inside. So the average investor speculates in foreign exchange and oil and food futures – because its the lottery , numbers on the screen, and its how you get wealthy and getting wealthy is all there is. Right?

So the high price of oil isnt about the cost of getting it out of the ground – its gamblers. The high cost of food that is forcing starvation around the world – inst about the high cost of production of food – its about gamblers. Hey its about the money – let em die. I need that Mercedes – its my dream – don’t deny me my dream – die sucker.

So we have food crisis, exacerbated by gamblers, we have high oil prices, exacerbated by gamblers, we have politicians who are mean and greedy and petty as their highest calling – because thats what everyone else does Sonny – and corporations who’s mission statements, real missions statements are about how much share value they can fake (it has to be fake because nothing can be maintained upward costantly)

Its a wonderful world.

Let em eat cake for Gods sake
