| Cold War Warriors - Triumvirate - Antichrist? -Thatcher - Reagan - Wojtyla |
It sounds a bit ridiculous. But after we defeated evil in World War
II, we adapted the tactics of our enemies to fight our enemies.
This of course has spiraled in seventy odd
years to corporate wars paid for by U.S. Taxpayers and torture and suspension
of habeas corpus in secret oversea dungeons like Guantanamo.
One has to wonder if Hitler and or the Soviet Union were Satan, then
what equal force of evil was needed to defeat them. In the 1980’s I think of no
other PR force in the media as the Three Part Antichrist of Reagan, Thatcher
and Wojtyla to defeat the thought that people and the production of the people
belongs to the people if only in theory and not practice.
Something about deficit spending on the military, secret Contra wars
against peasants in Central and South America, along with the breaking of unions, workers' rights, and the obliterating of livelihoods of workers in the north of England at the
expense of enriching the wealthy in London and we end up with the Vatican Bank
as the money launderer of western empire and ambitions and the plight of buggered
children ignored by a Moral in Mask Only papacy on marionette strings pulled by
the CIA as three components of evil that live on to this day of these past thirty
years to cause, the source, of so much rot in our social and moral systems.
Was the Soviet Union as evil as the collateral damage caused in the
West to defeat them?
The airwaves yesterday were pretty much filled with the
accomplishments of Margaret Thatcher,the deceased former Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom. She being the last living component of the Triumvirate
Antichrist chosen as acceptable evil to fight so-called evil in the East.
Reading the papers today, apparently she died alone in a hotel room,
an expensive hotel room no doubt at the Ritz. A first class nursing home /
space by any other name. The original press releases gave the impression of her
two children being at her side.
But today, her two children living abroad in
Switzerland and Spain, not liking what Britain has become are being searched
out for PR statements about their arrival at Mummy’s funeral.
One also gets the
impression that the nursing home room at the Ritz may have been the result of
her dear children selling her mansion out from under her in her late stages of
dementia and dumping what was left of the Iron Lady into the care of some
hourly no benefits paid nurse on call at the hotel front desk?
Not a pretty ending to the great woman the press is trying to paint
as the Savior of Britain??? But an ending never the less. We all come to some
end in our end.
I give her the fact of being a woman successful in a man’s world and
making it to the top of the political heap.
No doubt the wussification of the male population in Britain since WWII
was evident in her rise.
She was a harsh lower middle class grocer’s daughter with harsh
lower middle class cares for her white neighbors only in small village Britain
of nostalgic thought. Though I cannot remember seeing her ever shaking the
hands of a Pakistani merchant or grocer in the less Toni sections of London.
The American Cable news yesterday propped her up as part of a reason
to resurrect the tin god of Ronald Reagan from the grave to somehow tout
whatever he was supposedly good at, which I think was deficit spending in face of
the great evil empire of the Soviet Union that one morning simply faded away.
That the collapse first of the Soviet Union under a system of crony
socialism and economic unfairness and inefficiencies merely marked the first
system to collapse.
Our system, that did
not retool for peace after the collapse of the Iron Curtain. Has merely gone on
to invent enemies that we stir up like hornets’ nests by droning them and their
neighbors as collateral damage in a new Cold War like model based on some Pentagon Dr.
Strangelove mindset run amuck on the world stage.
Growing pains of a new global culture?
Thatcher broke the unions and aborted the native coal industry in
favor of outsourcing energy to cheap petroleum imports.
In fact on the coal, energy and union thing, I begin to believe that
one of the important historic aspects of the Harvard Brown Wharton Global
Spreadsheet mentality is that no one from Ivy League colleges or the London
School of Economics in their business models want to get their hands dirty,
create anything, let alone sit down to a table of human beings, union members
and negotiate fair wages and benefits for workers.
This whole global spreadsheet thing is
exporting sweat, dirt and labor further and further down some ladder into hell?
Thatcher did not negotiate. It was not in her nature. In fact the
only good thing she did was challenge the bullies of the Argentine Junta that
stole the Falkland Islands and started that war.
Of course, the world was fast changing
then. A mere thousand dollar off the
rack French Exocet Missile could if it hit the right spot destroy a billion
dollar (a lot of money back then) air craft carrier. But the Brits lucked out with an little bit
of unofficial US spy satellite info and the Junta Generals were a bunch a
morons, tripping over their own medals, after all was said and done.
The Argentinians, the people, got a measure of freedom from dear Margaret’s
middle class shopkeeper demeanor, emphasis on the mean part perhaps. Collateral
damage of Maggie’s war. Lol.
At least somebody benefited besides the rich of England, benefited
from her arrogance and lack of personal humanity to her own greater native peoples
of Britain.
Whatever.
Rest in Peace.
They are going to cremate her. No friendly earth in England to accept
her bones? No safe place to hide from getting pissed on in death in your grave?
Where I wonder will her two brats dump her ashes?
