How Comically Ironic That The IMF/WB Annual Meeting Occurred In DC This Last Week, Parallel To But Upstaged By The Bigger Drama Queens

Commentary by Roger Erickson

Yet while they're dragging their own, US Democracy down the drain, the "Traditional Values" crowd in the USA is more worried about a few % of the human population being Drag Queens? You can't make this stuff up fast enough. At least they're no longer traumatized by sinistrals - despite the embedded word!!! With sexual/educational/cultural recombination always generating this much diversity - why not just have more in all of our policy channels?

That aside, were the competing DC dramas an example of the chief cretins showing the little suits who's still boss?* :(

C'mon. It's not fair. The banksters finagle all year, and then can't get a minute of continuing scrutiny? How's a dishonest bankster supposed to get any consistent publicity, with this kind of grandstanding by the very politicians that they bought and own? :(

Oh. Wait. What? 

What the heck IS going on here? Does anyone really know? With this many conspiracies either working overtime or furloughed, the conspiracy-writers are accusing the hopelessly confused audience of racketeering - just because they're collectively unable to pay up! You gotta admit, it does look suspicious. to see so many broke simultaneously. Empty pockets is no excuse from the unlawful, folks. While you were distracted, the banksters requested that we pledge some future collateral, so that THEY can balance OUR fiat.

You just can't make this stuff up. Are the professional joke-writers not getting their own joke? Or is the audience not getting the double-entendre, even as the theater doors are barricaded ... from the inside. It's too complicated, folks, so just focus on the plot you've paid to see unfold. The promised audience-participation comes at the "intermission," and most are guaranteed to be surprised.

With these performers and this audience, what good is a ingeniously novel set-up, if neither can recognize the paradigm? The bigger punchline may as well come and go in a parallel dimension.

Imagine a dynamic value comedian trying to tell a unpredictable-valuation joke to a static-value audience? All the audience members hear are random tangents?

Wait, there's a counter-attack by the banksters, and a new effort to regain the publicity edge!  The little suits have noticed something in their tangential cross-hairs, and advise that we can zoom off [in a STRAIGHT line, of course] and be there in 20 years! Plus, it's a green target! They can smell it!

Green Light for a New World Bank Group
"Six months ago, the World Bank Group’s member countries** endorsed a bold plan to end extreme poverty by 2030 and promote shared prosperity. On Saturday, they gave the Bank Group the green light to reposition itself to better tackle these goals."

Reposition, huh?*** Just a minor matter of guaranteeing their Central Planner salaries and perks for a few more decades, until WE achieve THEIR predictions. :( It's playful, it's cruel ... and the sheer repetitiveness is actually bold, you have to admit.

* Meanwhile, the divergence between audience income & price of popcorn just increased again. Plus, there's gonna be a new health-insurance surcharge on the extra salt we're advertising to ourselves. Forget the health-insurance exchanges, we're dealing with a one-way bankster/MiddleClass exchange. Both political parties are recommending that 99% of citizens grab their socks. :(

** Couldn't help but notice this additional punchline on the WB site. Happy Cows Help Save the Planet  Is there a double-meaning in that? Have they switched from calling us "Muppets" to calling us "cows?" Or are both those terms just the official, new banking designations for people from the previously lower & middle class - now to be permanent - castes?

*** Personally, I'm into cheap, classless stories, where the cows & Muppets & Drag Queens rise up, caste out the exorcists, and in the process purge their own demons. Especially if there's a disclaimer that No Socks Were Grabbed in the course of this Audience Participation Democracy. Is that show playing anywhere off Wall Street?
