"The people who attract people by their happiness and their performance are usually inexperienced but they learn quite rapidly how not to be overrun and they learn how to go away. But they have not learned about the good, the attractive, the charming, the soon- beloved, the generous, the understanding rich who have no bad qualities and who give each day the quality of festival and who, when they passed and taken the nourishment they needed leave everything deader than the roots of any grass Attila's horses hooves have ever scoured'
- Hemingway
The Movable Feast
Why do I have to say that? Isn't it obvious? Hadn't it been obvious from the start?
Libya, as Iraq before or Afghanistan now is being overrun by the Rich. Rich people are bored to death. They wake up and go to sleep with one and only one desire only -- to have fun. Sex, money, power are boring. The most thrilling game of all is playing with people's destinies, define the lives or deaths of individuals, groups, nations, etc. The ultimate dream of the rich people is to sit at the main water taps of the Earth and at the main sun shutters; opening and closing those at their pleasure. The main desire of theirs is to treat other people as cockroaches. And they go for that goal. And we eat it.
Whether it is Darfur, Russia, Libya or Chile, adoption of a child or of a region, NGO or whatever- the rich paw and paw people there because they first kill the Independence. First they come smiling and healthy and tanned and seemingly free; maybe not them but their pilot fishes. Those pilot fishes go to the places where people live still independently but difficult and start to show glossy pictures. Sometimes those pilot fishes are government organizations, CIA officers or just young puppies, bushy-tailed and stupid, full of arrogance and charm, so- self- confident. Sometimes they are liberals, fighters for the rights of women. Sometimes they are religious zealots. There is one thing they have in common, though; they all are damned SOBs with no hearts and no souls and they all are there to destroy. That's the first thing they do- destroy. They tell people not to take care of each other .They empower people not for success; they push them against each other. That's the amusement of the Rich; they love to see people suffer, to get weak and dependent, so that then they can look good as some kind of saviors. Rich want to be loved but they do not want respect. They do not know what respect it. They want the puppy love, the only possible love they know. That love they try to manufacture at any cost. In this complex world Love is the most precious commodity and if you cannot get the true love you go for a surrogate. Rich cannot get the true love; they thus hate it whenever they encounter it. They destroy all social communities and push the idea that everyone is on his/her own. For that they have an army of pilot fishes, all those pundits, politicians, entertainment folks, you name it. Those people manufacture the consent to create the proper way to invade, destroy, kill. Yes, kill because the first thing the Rich do- they kill the spirit of self-determination and the people who have it. They attack any stable way of life because they love instability. They divide women and men in the families because it is fun to watch family tragedies and make movies about that. They go after the children. They debase religions by catering to the stupid cult of pseudo- Christianity and promoting total ignorance as a virtue. And of course, whenever they encounter a predatory individual or a group they offer them to join the fun. That's why we have Carlyle Group. That's why we have the Three Harpies in the White House. That's why we ourselves become an entertainment of the Rich from Hef to Trump and Koch brothers. Like Hef enjoys having chicks around him Koch brothers enjoy having movements, creating and destroying people, groups, mass hysteria. What can be more fun?
If people figure it out and resist our Rich brats bare their fangs. They send armies, drones, bombers and Navy. They spread lies and slander. They go around the Globe complaining. They adopt resolutions and call people terrorists. Their pilot fishes now have guns. All for democracy and all for entertainment. Libya, phew! They are only warming up. And whenever it doesn't work for them like in Cuba or in Belarus, they howl like werewolves and NEVER forget. Their malice has no limits. There is nothing more sinister than the unsuccessful rapist.
Yes, the good, well-intentioned Rich are rapists. That's their philosophy. Listen to them; they have nothing to hide. Whenever you hear that diatribe about "our interests', "our right to interfere' or "what we do to them'-that's the Rich talking. That's the Lily Marlene and Joerst Vesssel (Nazi songs) of the pilot fishes on the prowl, marching in columns, Beware, because if you are not one of them you will end in the box like all other cockroaches. Bear no illusions; Rich are never satisfied and never stop on their own. You need a lot of guts to stop them.
