Hoping for better times — for some, even the return to make-believe “yesterday” — has now become our prescribed daily medicine dispensed through the corporate media by our government via injections of economic news or commentary.
Confidence-building little white lies, misleading insinuations or, often, absurd interpretations of statistical data by Bernanke, Geithner, Summers, even Obama himself, are meant to keep us, the blind citizenry, faithful to a bankrupt system . . . subservient to the rulers of capitalist imperium.
And the gold rush is on with the O’niners — those who see 2009 as the stabilization year for the markets and the beginning of a running of the bulls in New Pamplona — seeing nothing beyond the specks of gold in the global economic pyrite that surrounds us. Never mind the reality of specks of arsenic in that pyrite, or the irrefutable fact that pyrite simply isn’t gold — regardless how many fools fail to see the distinction.
