Entry: The Ugliest Yacht in the World Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_ugliest_yacht_in_the_world#33152 Post contents: Simon Tregarth, I said that the ordinary people, like me, my neighbor, the guy who works in the garage, the girl who works in grocery store and, I guess, yourself Mr. Tregarth, defines very well what is an excessive wealth.Now, what happens in Russia in 1917 it is well known and it is redundant to repeat that here. On the other hand for example,what it is interesting to know it is what happens after the "change of the regime" in Russia in 1991. What is,by far, the most important event in the new capitalistic regime in Russia Mr. Tregarth? It is not the return of "democracy". It is not the "election" of Boris Yeltsin. It is not the "free market". The landmark for any objective observer to what happens to Russia after 1991 is the unprecedented PILLAGE, plundering and looting of public wealth by few "new" capitalists.Much greater pillages that those, famous, of Rome. Never in human history a theft to such scale occurred. We understand better now from where billionaires, like Andrey Melnichenko, comes from. And what is more revealing is the fact that those new Russian billionaires are very welcome in the so called Western world. Many of them are re localized in Israel, some others in London and many others in places with a "mild" environment in witch they can spend a fraction of theirs "legitimated" excessive wealth as they are pleased; with good taste or with bad taste, doesn't matter. I said that this fact it's very revealing because it shows the same pattern in ours "free societies" . The same thing happens here to, concerning the accumulation of the excessive wealth, but with the apparency, the camouflage, of legality, of normality. But the essence of the PILLAGE stays the same. Now, I'm go to repeat the Fundamental thuth, la verité fondamentale; wealth is created ONLY by the work producing goods. The secretary in an office for example, or the broker in the stock market, doesn't produce any wealth, zero. They are, simply intermediaries. Can you understand now the fortune of, say, Mr.George Soros? His fortune is entirely legal because "we" set up the legal frame for that purpose. It is la raison d'être du régime, la raison d'être of the system.It looks less savage than the Russian example. Anything else is good to rock, to lull the babes, or the masses if you prefer.
