Profits and rents were to be limited only by what the traffic would bear: decent customary rents and a just price were out of the question. Only hunger, distress, and poverty, Townsend observed in his commentary on the English Poor Laws, could prevail on the lower classes to accept the horrors of the sea and battlefield, and only these same helpful stimuli would 'spur and goad' them on to factory labor. The rulers, however, preserved an almost unbroken class front on any issue that concerned their pocketbooks as a class: and they never scrupled to act collectively when it was a question of beating down the working classes.”<br /><br />Using debt credit European Finance Capitalism will obviously move in a similar direction against any remaining rural self-supporting Serbs.<br /><br />Oh yes, meanwhile back at the ranch, an investment group of former Goldman Sachs brokers is pushing buying up African land in large tracts, and some of their biggest investors are US universities like Harvard.<br /><br />Indeed, as the Libyans also may soon discover, John Locke's "Liberty" is a wondrous machine, is it not?<br /><br />Bon appetit!Eugene Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649417453647803409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-42654990579989430462011-09-15T18:24:00.365-04:002011-09-15T18:24:00.365-04:00Well "Pride Parade" is just a distractio...Well "Pride Parade" is just a distraction from the real issues at hand, finalization of Kosovo amputation by proxy, and getting Serbia to submit to recognition of Independent Kosovo, if it wants to be a member of EU. <br /><br />Today the Russian ambassador called upon Serbian people to defend Kosovo. It is obvious to the ambassador that the current fifth columnist regime of Serbia is not capable of doing much at all, so he is asking the Serbian people to do the right thing, they want people to vote for change. what do i mean by that? Well Serbian people need to decide if they want to be part of EU at a cost of Kosovo? Serbia does not need EU. Serbia does not need NATO. Why would anyone in their right mind want to become a member of an organization that bombed it, and amputated Kosovo province from it? <br /><br />Serbia does not need Gay Rights, or legalizing same sex marriage in order to please EU perverts. Serbia needs jobs, Serbia needs to make sure that it's sovereignty is not compromised any longer, Serbia needs to make sure that EU's extortion is stopped. Serbia needs to tell EU and NATO and UN, enough is enough. <br /><br />I believe Russia is ready to stand by Serbia, but Serbian people need to choose the right politicians that see the truth and need to ask for Russian help. I watched the Serbian people twice now, choosing the wrong people, the wrong parties to run the country.<br /><br />It's not the regime anymore that is at fault the Serbian people refuse to vote for change, they still believe in dreams of EU handing them money, get real, but at the same time the benevolent rescuers, EU plundered everything of value for peanuts. That is not benevolence, that is not genuine interest to see Serbia or Serbian people prosper, period. <br /><br />Serbia needs a real change, Serbian people need to vote for Serbian interests. Russians can't be greater Serbians then Serbs, Russians can only do so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
