Which parts of monopoly capital are becoming upset with their boy george?

[ConsAreLiars]

Not the idiot chimp personally, but the cabal as a whole.

He's served them all well, shifting wealth to the top echelon, reducing the standard of living for the commoners, privatizing everything so that institutions and practices that once served the common good are handed over and restructured to serve only the bottom line. It's why they put him in, and he's delivered, except for the PNAC plans to place the Middle East under the direct control of corporatism, which so far has served only the murder businesses instead of the corporatism as a whole.

This anti-democratic crime and corruption has been going on for years, but in the last few months some of the powers behind the scene have made a decision to take him (them) down. You see this when he gets called before to Council on Foreign Relations to make his defense, instead of just doing dress-up stunts in front of controlled audiences. And now he has to present himself in front of every top agent of US imperialism who served during the the last few decades.

Those controlling the media have finally permitted some revelations of the crimes being committed, and the fact that prosecutors are beginning to get results is being reported rather than ignored (although a lot is still being buried.

So, which powerful entities are getting disenchanted, feeling threatened, or whatever, and have made the decision to take this gang out? Anyone have any evidence about what is going on behind the curtain in the world of monopoly capital?

1. Boy George?

sorry, couldn't resist.

3. LOL - not that one

That one is talented, imaginative, articulate, and competent in making business decisions, and doesn't tend to fall on his face. The other george is the opposite, and a true monster.

2. I have no idea, but every day there is a new

revelation of wrong-doing. I think his screw-ups have not been profitable for the right people and they found out a corrupt Tammany Hall style congress also isn't profitable for them.
Whatever it is, I'm enjoying it. Laughed out loud off and on for about a half hour today when the news about Cunningham being wired came out.

4. I think it might have to do with the mafia-like use of power by this gang

being a threat. Those who depend to some degree on a "willing" acceptance, among the masses, of the view that this is "the best of all possible worlds." Or those who feel that the power of money is being replaced by the power of the state, that this is not corporatism (fascism) for all of the powerful, but only for some of them.

Something is happening here that the corporate media will never discuss, becuase it exposes too much about how things really work. Knowing more about the real players would be very instructive.

5. the big bankers figure he has on the verge of killing the goose

that's laying their golden eggs


WAY before the bankers are done making money on it.

6. They supported the PNAC-Con agenda through the 2004 election.

Something has changed. Finance capital is to some extent international, but it does also depend on a growing domestic market. Indebtedness has increased, this is good for the bankers, but having a large portion of that population unable to pay their usurious fees would be a hit, even if the laws have been changed to force their victims into indentured servitude. Maybe it is finance capital that is pushing the buttons, but I'd like to see more evidence about who has decided to kill off their (former) champion.

7. he has mismanaged Iraq and the deficit-based economy

because he has focused too much on the religiously insane wing of his base

plus, he has relapsed in a major way using drugs and alcohol, which pisses off his lords

they see that he has failed to make Iraq pay off with the trillions it should have been delivering to the bankers

what the bankers fail to see is that this is not a failure of George the Lesser; it is a failure of RW economic and foreign policy beliefs

it's easier for them to kill (abandon) the messenger

PROPHET TALK: BUSH, SO CRISPY TOAST?

Thursday, October 20, 2005

President George Bush's father, George Bush, Sr, cultivated all the right people and moved in the most powerful circles - from diplomat, to CIA head, to vice president and then president. With so much power and almost institutionalized good will, the current plight of George "W" Bush - as he waits for the purported indictments of "special prosecutor" Patrick J. Fitzgerald - is almost incomprehensible.

Ruling elites are instinctively protective, remembering there are less of them, and acting accordingly. They must hate the kind of show that it is unfolding right now in Washington DC, and yet because it is, they must consider it necessary. If "W" had been successful with his war, or wrapped it up sooner or settled for some modest gains and then brought 'em home, he would probably not be facing what he is now. Perhaps there is something to the speculation that "W" doesn't always think clearly. More likely however is that this man with a great deal of poise and self-confidence but little book-learning and even less disciplined intellect simply allowed himself to be led astray by those around him. They include, of course, the vice-president himself, Dick Cheney and others. Even, yes, the so-called Israel lobby, "neocons" Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perleman and others who are said to have had an enormous impact on the president and now - according to a generous helping of vituperative 'Net analysis - stand ready to abandon him, the war effort and the crumbling economy at a moment's notice.

As he presides over the decaying reputation of what once was one of America's most successful dynastic families, it must be coming clear to Bush if he will just let it, what kind of trouble he is truly in. But maybe it still is not clear because "W" is a rigid guy, as most former drinkers are. For now he remains the picture of a confident commander, chin up, shoulder's squared, determined not to give an inch or utter an apology. The fine international journalist Georgie Anne Geyer wrote recently of Bush's speech at the invitation of the National Endowment for Democracy, as follows, "The sense of the long and deadly serious speech was that the United States had no responsibility for any of this. 'No act of ours invited the rage of the killers, and no concession, bribe or act of appeasement would change or limit their plans for murder. We will never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory.' Wow!"

9. Interesting. Thanks. Geyer is a long-time CIA-establishment apologist,

and the fact that she is used as a source in a libertarian (small business suck-up) rant is interesting. It shows the kind of operatives being mobilized, but not much about who is pulling the strings.
