Greetings good citizen,
Stock markets around the globe are bleeding from the eye sockets this morning as investors allegedly cope with fear of new taxes.
(Like the problem ISN’T all of the money in our economy is sitting in the bank accounts of the uber wealthy, doing nothing.)
Well, that ain’t the half of it good citizen…seems as though the psycho’s on Wall Street now believe that the US will soon replace Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest energy exporter.
And what the hell, like the Arabs, WE (here in the economic desert) won’t be using it! good thing for the Chinese, huh?
Even if it never crossed your mind to wonder how the Arabs felt about foreigners sucking all of the oil out of their country, you’re about to find out how just it feels!
Um, the important thing to keep in mind here good citizen is this is NOT a ‘yippee-ki-yay motherfucker event.
Nowhere in this article does it say we will return to the days of ‘cheap & abundant energy’. Neither the oil shale nor the tar sands are A.) easy to extract or B.) economical to process.
Which is to point out that scarce and expensive energy (which will further shrink markets) will be ‘exportable’ by virtue of its ‘unaffordability’ by the average 'peasant' in the nation that produces it. (But assumedly by then 'puny things like countries' will be 'irrelevant' [to the uber rich.])
Perhaps now you can see the foolishness of allowing the self-interested to control the value of your money!
Maybe now you can see the wisdom in that notion that certain things should never be ‘monitized/commodified’.
But you idiots will pay for water and think nothing of it!
How long will it be before you are buying ‘designer’ air?
We could really go off the reservation over water and our long history of fighting over it but that is not the subject of this post. We are parsing the ‘common good’ vs., the predations of capitalism…because it is capitalism and capitalism alone that allows the capitalist to claim for his (or her) own what belongs to us all.
And guess how we landed in this sorry state of affairs?
By deferring to Kings and Queens…(who put their own interests ahead of the people’s…)
By now the capitalist is foaming at the mouth, raving about the ‘injustice’ of being attacked by an obvious ‘godless commie’ (who would have you all work for the same pay and force you to ‘give away’ the ‘fruits of your labors’ [rather than let the generous capitalist buy them from you for a fraction of their worth…] which is why the capitalist is rich and you can barely pay your bills, which isn‘t the capitalist‘s problem…it‘s yours!)
First point, Anarchy is in NO WAY related to communism, it is a political philosophy, not an economic system…and A Simple Plan is in no way ‘communist’ (which you’d know if you bothered to read it!)
But again I digress…
What does it take, good citizen, to get you to stop shooting yourself in the foot?
Is it that ‘heat of the moment thing’ when the New Boss pulls that last minute change out of his hat, just when victory is within your grasp?
In something that would make a wonderful farce, if it weren’t so tragic, we have perpetually witnessed crushing defeat snatched from the jaws of victory, repeatedly throughout history.
Mostly because the ‘forces of evil’ (a.k.a. greed) never sleep.
Worse, it seems our would be saviors aren’t immune to its influence, and if they are they get killed.
So is it a battle we ‘can’t win’…?
Definitely not…because soon circumstance will dictate that we either choose to start doing things the right way or we head down the path towards extinction…
Which brings us full circle to the growing effects of climate change and the desperate need to stop consuming as much fossil fuel as we can scrape out of the ground and throwing it into the atmosphere.
It is time for A Simple Plan and the sweeping lifestyle changes it will bring.
Simply put good citizen, the ultimate goal of A Simple plan is to make crime no longer pay…across the board.
No more getting fucked by employers, no more getting fucked by merchants, no more getting fucked by politicians and no more getting fucked by criminals…because there is no more money! (read cash)
Your money truly is ‘for you’.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
Parting thought: Energy Independence (under capitalism) will be virtually meaningless to YOU.
We are long overdue to stop using this badly broken system as the basis of governing our society…which, in case you haven’t noticed, no longer counts YOU…
Like the song says: There ain’t no commies and there ain’t no yanks, just common criminals, with guns and tanks!

That increased oil production, combined with new American policies to improve energy efficiency, means that the United States will become “all but self-sufficient” in meeting its energy needs in about two decades — a “dramatic reversal of the trend” in most developed countries, a new report released by the agency says.
“The foundations of the global energy systems are shifting,” Fatih Birol, chief economist at the Paris-based organization, which produces the annual World Energy Outlook, said in an interview before the release. The agency, which advises industrialized nations on energy issues, had previously predicted that Saudi Arabia would be the leading producer until 2035.
The report also predicted that global energy demand would grow between 35 and 46 percent from 2010 to 2035, depending on whether policies that have been proposed are put in place. Most of that growth will come from China, India and the Middle East, where the consuming class is growing rapidly. The consequences are “potentially far-reaching” for global energy markets and trade, the report said.
