The disjointed musings of the financial media support groups and the politicians desperation to patch up the emperor's new clothes again, serve notice that the final act has begun.
The banks have sucked the blood from their governments through a series of bailouts.
The governments have sucked away the lives of their peoples through ongoing and expanding programs of austerity.
They have stolen from multiple generations of the unborn through bond issuance and leveraging so called "stability funds".
Financial institutions are stealing from their depositors as they begin to panic at the glimmer of the bottom of the shiny trough.
The managed retreat has begun.
Treaties are hastily being re-written. Doubtless constitutions, bills of rights and human rights legislations will go a similar way.
All areas of the economy have been fatally wounded. And even the most optimistic commentators are now describing the future misery in terms of decades.
It's a zombie paradise.
Regardless of your opinions about the rights or wrongs of the capitalist system, it is the capitalists themselves that are behaving in an anti capitalist manner. Far more so than the so called anti capitalist protesters.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to rig markets and pretend that we are living in a free market system.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to save banks that are to big to fail.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to allow banks to become too big to fail.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to allow banks to create money out of thin air under the cover of the fractional reserve banking system.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to have a shadow banking system that is unregulated and causes other parts of the financial system to behave chaotically.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to have targeted import tariffs and limits.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to set artificially lower interest rates.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to deliberately allow inflation to take off in order to reduce the impact of commercial and sovereign debts.
It's ANTI CAPITALIST to effectively buy your own bonds through a convoluted system of central banks, shadow banks, monetary funds and rescue/stability funds.
Capitalism in its purest form could just work. The trading of goods and services equitably for other goods and services serve many barter only communities well.
Its time to think about just who the anti capitalists are.
