Divided We Lose

Here we go again, kicking off another round of hopetimism on a situation that, basically every human that can fog up a mirror and has an IQ over 75 knows is going to explode into a cascading flood of failure.  Why let something like reality spoil the fun, though? 

    The weekend brought another round of meaningless promises from Merkel and Sarkozy  (More Hope), which in the end will be more of the same... hype. The notion that the crisis is any closer to being resolved today than it was yesterday, or last week, or last year is pure hopetimism.   The fact is Timmy's "Euro Tarp" has been roundly rejected, and even with the "expanded" bailout fund; there just is not enough new debt to cover old debt (Not enough dough).   So, when we take away  the "solutions"  that we KNOW  cannot work, that leaves us with only reality and that reality is simple, collapse.   It is the reason that so many of the power elite are warning of just that (BoE : Depression Coming)    (IMF : Collapse Coming).   The reality is civil unrest is hear to stay, in: Europe, UK, Mid East, North Africa, USA , and basically anywhere that central banks have allowed massive debtloads and monetary policy to hammer sovereign nations in order to prevent "Too Bigs" from failing. The danger now, in my humble opinion, is divide and conquer tactics.

    We have all lived through the co-opting of the Tea Party movement, watching what started as authentic, justified frustration against too much government spending, insane never-ending wars, and of course bailouts by regular, non-sycophant, Main Street Americans, who have found themselves twisted into a Republican subset.  Now we are seeing the same exact thing happen with the "Occupy" movement   (Dems Highjack OWS) - how  convenient, and how dangerous.  Convenient because nothing could be a bigger distraction from our economic collapse than having a co-opted Tea Party Movement  fighting a co-opted Occupy  Movement.  Dangerous because too many angry Americans will buy into this Red Team/Blue Team garbage.  The fact is we are all on the Titanic together.   There is no Red or Blue, just haves and have-nots  (Main Street getting poorer). This economic disaster is very real, and the anger and frustration is also very real. Going forward, we must realize that  this hope of financial recovery has been  an empty promise, used to gain time for the ȕber-elite class to transfer their failure onto the people of the world.  We must realize that there is a new two-party system dynamic  that is in effect, The Haves and The rest of us. If we lose focus on that fact, then we lose, plain and simple.  There is anger and frustration across the globe, and I believe it is justified and very real. United, regardless of ideology, religion, or social perspective,  we  cannot lose.  Divided we cannot win.
