We Live in a Fictitious Time Again?

What do Karl Rove, Colin Powell and Alan Greenspan have in common?

The obvious answer is they all used to work for my most popular present idiot George W. Bush. They have also all resigned from their jobs or will be doing so.

The less obvious thing in common among these men is they were all involved in perpetuating the biggest fictions of the Bush administration in their respective areas of 'expertise'.

In his Oscar acceptance speech for the film Farenheit 911, Michael Moore said: “We live in fictitious times. We live in a time when we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious President. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons . . . shame on you, Mr Bush, shame on you . . .”

Karl Rove, as Bush's chief 'campaign strategist', engineered amongst others the disenfranchisement of millions of black voters in places like Florida which proved to be critical to Bush winning his first election - this is the fictitious election results Moore referred to.

Rove announced his resignation when legislators recently started investigations into his involvement in 'making political presentations to government employees encouraging them to find ways to support Republican candidates.'

This idiot clearly planned and knew what he was doing for idiot Bush.

Colin Powell as secretary of state for Bush, primarily through his UN presentations, helped hoodwinked most of the world (I can tell you which are the Chinamen amongst the ones I know that are in this group) about Iraq's possession of nuclear weapons and engineered the invasion of Iraq for control of its oil and wealth.

Apparently upon 'realising' that what he was led to believed was true was in fact a big lie this fella resigned. So this particular idiot seemed to realise 'after the fact' what he was doing for idiot Bush. If you believe this and is one of those not convinced that Bush is an idiot, this is another prove that idiots can indeed get to the very top in the 'world's greatest democracy'. In Rudyard Kipling's words, even a 'half-devil half-child' can.

Alan Greenspan was head of the US Federal Reserve for the last 20 years and was first appointed to the job by my first US presidential idiot by the name of Ronald Reagan - Reagan is the first because I first began to understand what was happening in my contemporary world during 'his' time.

Amongst Greenspan's more famous achievements were the handling of Reaganomics' Black Monday, and the 'irrational exuberance' and 'infectious greed' of the dot.com bubble. All of which largely due to 'easy money' perpetuated by the Fed.

In Bush's tenure, Greenspan presided over the infusion of more cheap money as a way of making his country's economy 'expand' especially after the dot.com bust of 2000/01.

For those that do not understand above and how Greenspan was so (depending on how you interprete it) good or unlucky to have had to handle so many bubbles in his 20 Fed years, they are suggested to read about the 'collapse of Bretton Woods'. The 'global economy' and 'monetarist economic theories' of the last 30 years should be seen in the light of this particular event. You can say it was a 'milestone' in the development of super-fictitious money.

Simple minded approach Greenspan's easy credit may appear to a lot of economists but they did not know that that would have appeared like a damn good idea to a full-idiot half-child like Bush who also believed that reducing taxes for the rich would spur growth and pay for his expensive adventures like Iraq. His other idea of making a fast buck for his country by way of grabbing Iraq's oil should also be indicative.

At least, that was what Bush believed in.

Greenspan, probably the sharpest of the 3 men in this story and with obviously more experience from the other bubbles he helped created and/or then handled, smartly decided to retire in early 2006 before the proverbial 'shit hits the fan'.

The last week or so we began to see what some economists like Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz had been warning about for a few years (while in Singapore a week back Stiglitz said he was surprised it took so long to happen) - the bursting of another economic bubble created by what some economists call 'funny money' or fictitious money.

If Michael Moore had spoken to Joseph Stiglitz before his Oscar speech, he would also have added that 'we also live in a time when fictitious money is used to create a fictitious economy'.

But what is the difference between the 3 men we are talking about?

One helped fool half of the American population to put idiot Bush in power. Actually it was less than half as Bush had less of the popular vote than Gore but let's not worry about such gory details. Most thought only the Americans would pay for it like in September 11. A one event wonder.

The second helped fool half the world to put the US hands in the oil wells of Iraq. The Iraqis paid for most of it. Along with some by the French and Germans, which was why they protested. Also a one event wonder.

And the third? Well, the third helped fool most of the world into believing that the price of US stocks and properties are worth more than two to three times what they were worth five years ago. And god knows who in the world will be paying for it - that's the beauty of globalisation! With Black Monday, dot.com and now subprime, unlike the other 2, this fella is a multi-event wonder!

All because so many believed in Bush and the American system. Interesting to think how in this case the Churchill-like 'never had so many owed so much to so few' would apply more to the losers.

On his part, Bush believed that he was meant 'by his god to do great things', ran for presidential office and won with the help of Rove and his fictitious election results.

Bush and his sponsors believed in the power of oil and got most of what they wanted out of Iraq with the help of Powell who believed what he was led to believe, and which he in turn led many suckers in the world to believe in.

Bush believed that Reaganomics would result in great growth for his country. For a few years it did with the help of Greenspan's easy credit and fictitious money. His co-believers around the world is now beginning to pay for that.

So we have it, fictitious political results, war and economy ala idiot Bush & America. Almost all the 'big things' in life. But you know, other than these, what else is 'big' and trademark Bush & America?

Their religious believe of course. Anyone need me to point out how that is also fictitious?
