Entry: Lies, Ignorance and "Useful Idiots"... Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/lies_ignorance_and_useful_idiots#13335 Post contents: @Sabin: While wholeheartedly agreeing with your historical analysis, I wonder how we are going to deal with the Frankenstein we have unleashed on the world. As an economist it seems to me that global corporations like say Walmart are mutating in ways we have not yet confronted. For example is Walmart loyal to the U.S. or to China. It would seem it is far more concerned about job creation in China than in the U.S. It certainly pays its workers in China higher real wages than it does in the U.S. So while Walmart shareholders do great the U.S taxpayer is not so lucky as he finances the burdens of carrying the "bloated sow" while walmart is able to shield its earnings overseas. The same applies to each and every one of the fortune 500. The options are bad or worse for us. On the suject of Lies, Ignorance, and Useful Idiots, and the recent demise of our feudal princess, now that Scotland Yard is turning up we are guaranteed the truth will be buried along with the princess. Although the media has trotted out the usual bunch of suspects, I fear one possibility may have been overlooked, that this was a family affair, here's a short list of additional suspects: 1. Asif Zardari who may have prepared a will nominating himself as successor. 2. Friends of Murtaza Bhutto looking for revenge. 3. PPP "supporters" fearful of the inquisition to come over "misdeeds" committed while the princess was exiled. 4. Cousins of the Bhutto's... 5. PPP supporters who felt that this was a national political party and nobody's private fiefdom. Lets keep in mind that in addition to the police escort BB was surrounded by armed "PPP" supporters that had apparently not been backgound checked by the Police. Just thinking outside the BOX :) Sent at: 2008 11 21
