Noticed In The Peanut Gallery …

Excellent post, Dave. Thank you. I think there’s a ghost of a chance that good old-fashioned hubris will catch up with them, but don’t count on this, even with the stock market falling. The public has to not only see what’s going on, but has to CARE.

Frankly, I’m afraid we’re eventually headed for a revolution. I’m also afraid that the neocons are counting on that, so that, once completely defeated and put down, we’re obliterated forever. So be extra careful about that. It wouldn’t hurt to become familiar with the Resistance movement’s methods during WW II. We can’t just sit here like a bunch of sheep waiting for terrible things to happen.

Another admittedly horrible thought: Don’t underestimate Russia and China. Not to mention “Old Europe.” As this bunch of idiots goes deeper and deeper into debt, mostly to countries that are NOT OUR FRIENDS, these older and vastly more sophisticated societies watch and wait.

The truth we’re so proud of our military power, yet we don’t even have enough of an army to subdue Iraq. Yeah, we spend more on military power than the rest of the world put together, most of it on graft and corruption and idiot Starwars type projects. Ideology is in control, and ideology leads to blindness. This crew doesn’t have a clue to how to deal with other societies, and believe me, the rest of the world knows that. So, they can afford to watch and wait until we’ve bankrupted ourselves. That’s what I meant by hubris.
