The Most Elementary Question Must Not Be Asked – The Automatic Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in dire need of fresh blood and smart new ideas to clean up the mess the present ideologies and their puppets and puppetmasters have created. The present crew has made a neverending series of \u2018mistakes\u2019, intentional or not, and they are dead set on making more, if only because they refuse to change the tack that led to all these \u2018mistakes\u2019.<\/p>\n

I say mistakes because that\u2019s what they are from the point of view of all those who live in the real economy, not because I think the puppetmasters are mistaken from their own point of view. After all, all they do, literally all they do, is take care of their own interests. Where they will find themselves mistaken is down the line, when there is no longer a functioning real economy, and they will of necessity end up going down with it.<\/p>\n

However, even though you wouldn\u2019t say it to look at America and Europe these days, we don\u2019t need to be puppets to any masters. I know, I know, most of you don\u2019t even recognize yourselves as puppets \u2013 yes, you -. You believe most of what you read, or at least enough to keep going on the beaten track. And they\u2019re good at making you believe. They\u2019ve gotten a lot better at it ever since you were born, whenever you were born.<\/p>\n

You only need to listen to things like this week\u2019s US jobs report, which has the media falling over each other and themselves to declare victory. But which, when you take a good look, declares no such thing. And we\u2019ve been going on this road for many years now, a road defined by debt on one side and propaganda on the other, and we stick to it because we are promised on a 24\/7 basis that it will lead to growth, which is always just around the corner. Growth is the magic word.<\/p>\n
