I haven't discerned what 'they' would do after achieving that goal which doesn't seem to have far to run leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306152717670389251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766219149563154023.post-70197762573095328102016-05-18T02:50:27.849-07:002016-05-18T02:50:27.849-07:00The Protected, or the Possessed...?

A very good post.<br />'When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awestriking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals,' said Winston Churchill in 1941.<br /> A similar moment is upon us, and it behoves us all to recognise the darkness of the spiritual forces at work on our souls today.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353906017266605011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766219149563154023.post-24583514888472514332016-05-16T03:07:35.060-07:002016-05-16T03:07:35.060-07:00Thank you for posting a comment.

I used to watch Lagarde particularly, as she lectured the Greeks on the need to cut spending and pay their taxes. As she spoke, outside her Merc and driver waited. I knew she had not only a vast tax-free salary but also a tax-free allowance which was meant only to allow her to live in the style in which the head of the IMF should live. On sitting at her place at the press conference, the journalists could catch a glimpse of whichever Hermes bag she was carrying that day. The bags were all the styles which cost around £7,000 each. Her jewellery was Cartier and Bulgari, her suits were Chanel and Armani. Meanwhile, somewhere in Athens, men and women who were suffering from the poisonous policies Lagarde and the rest of the Troika powers pushed on the Greek government were digging in dust bins looking for dinner. She was protected from the effects of her own policies. The poor people were left to suffer the effects.M.E.

If you want to talk about immigration you are a racist, if you think England can and will do better not tied to the dead corpse of the EU, you are a little Englander etc., etc. The problems are mounting for the protected as they are so often wrong and their attempts to stifle all opposite points of view are increasingly making the unprotected find routes to express their views and their anger. Their outlets when it comes to elections are increasingly parties to the further left and right. Dangerous times lie ahead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790288741974192799noreply@blogger.com
