\u201cThe Recession is over!\u201d The well-heeled victors heave a great sigh of relief as the corporate world kicks free of the shackles of debt encumbering millions among the man-in-the-street.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


\nFortunately, governments sprang to the aid of the wealthy, providing a disengage from the sea-anchor of the collapsed sources of their wealth. Let\u2019s face it, \u201cSome companies are just too big to be allowed to fail.\u201d It was of course necessary to throw a few crumbs to the hoi polloi, the more visibly the better but by and large it seems only one person has been significantly harmed by the global collapse of confidence in the Financial System: You.<\/p>\n

The key to these events has been the term \u2018disengage\u2019. Far greater than simply to insulate the wealth barons, it was publicly necessary to ensure their wealth state was independent from the issues and concerns of the masses. Whether it be the achingly and unrelievedly poor of many nations or the \u2018overconsumed\u2019 left by the wayside of modern society, the result is the same. The Rich get Richer and the Poor get Poorer.<\/p>\n

Nothing is new.<\/p>\n

As we now swing toward compensation on the one hand and despair on the other, it will be the Less-Haves who will be driven to the option of redeeming the Masters in the fatally mad scramble rolling down the paths of History like a bowling ball \u2013 with a built in Cuckoo Clock!<\/p>\n

The responses of the dispossessed vary but a common feature is that they can be manipulated.<\/p>\n

Oh! You thought this was only about the Compensation Debate on Wall Street!<\/p>\n

Look closely at the graphics. \u201cThe Soldiers of the Companions of God\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Soldiers<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These guys are guilelessly committed absolutely to serve \u2018their\u2019 Companion, the one who tells them what to do.<\/p>\n

They are now dead. Slain in a shoot-out with Hamas August 13th in Gaza. Their \u2018Companion of God\u2019 was protected until morning, when a negotiator was sent in. The old man took the opportunity to detonate an explosive belt he was wearing, killing them both. Tally? 24 dead; 150 wounded.<\/p>\n

So what? You ask.<\/p>\n

OK So they are wrong. But these guys died believing in their right for a better day. You think they were misguided? That makes no difference. Bullets hurt, then they kill.<\/p>\n

The population of Planet Earth will not forever put up with the trashy slogans of \u2018free-to-air\u2019 propaganda and colour TV declarations of their poverty. Time is a Cuckoo Clock. It\u2019s not ticking. The bird is out. Humanity waits and watches for its voice.<\/p>\n

Billions of young people the world over are running out of excuses for Peace.<\/p>\n

If this is Peace, they feel, \u201cYou can stick it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Many many people are willing to die to be more connected to their life.<\/p>\n

Not the adulterated rich. Not the poor-me also-rans of suburbia. The countless Left-Behinds who realise there is absolutely nothing they can do to improve their situation.<\/p>\n

Finding themselves in a legal limbo, their only recourse is the feral adventure \u2013 or the absolute purity of the zealot.<\/p>\n

As it happens, History declaims from a high place, \u201cSend For The Zealots!\u201d<\/p>\n

Was it, \u201cSend For The Saracens?\u201d<\/p>\n

Same Voice, different Time, different Place.<\/p>\n

Ok. This is too serious. A little light humour.<\/p>\n

Duck, Sir.<\/p>\n
