Here's another Slew of Radical-Thoughts, from the FAR-WEST:

"..Regulated interest rates enable banks to rip off savers, by underpaying them for their deposits...."

Un-Regulated interest rates -on this side of the Pacific, enable Banks to CHARGE US for our deposits!

"...and they keep a fifth of their deposits in reserve at the central bank....."

At least they have a Central Bank, while on this side of the Pacific, the Banks OWN the Federal(PRIVATE)Reserve!!

"....That will require it to lift barriers to private investment in lucrative markets still dominated by wasteful SOEs......"

On this side of the Pacific, I'd LOVE to Erect barriers to private investment in lucrative markets still dominated by Cancerous, ConScienceLess, Corporate Criminal SOBs!!!

Peace, Love & Respect.

"..Just three days after Donna Summer died came the news that another disco heavyweight, Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, had also succumbed to cancer...."

Artists Like Donna & Robin, Can NOT Die!

Their Work Alone, insures their Immortality!!

It's been almost Three-Decades, but those "Disco" Songs are Still STUCK in My MIND!!!

Thank you Donna & Robin. RIP..................

Peace, Love & Respect.

Here are a Humble-Pair of "Radical-Thoughts", fron the FAR-WEST:

It seems like it was just YesterDay, when I Wished David the Best of Luck -as he assumed this Daunting Role of Lexington!
I May NOT have Read MOST of what he wrote, and I'm the ONE to BLAME for that!!

I Feel Fortunate, to have READ both the FIRST & LAST of David's articles, as the LATE-LEXINGTON!!!
It seems like OPTIMISM, is ..........................!!!!

RIP David, and ENJOY your Evolution & Liberation!!!!!

Peace, Love & Respect.

"..As a transitional figure, he deserves a tepid endorsement...."

Egypt/Misr, does NOT need any more "Transional-Figures"!
Egypt/Misr, is DESPERATE for a Trans-Formational Figure-Head!!
Egypt/Misr, is DESTINED for..................................!!!

The Herculean-Task of Dis-Mantling the (FAILED)STATE, is MUCH Easier than the Mission-Impossible of the Re-Building of it!!!!

Instead of a "Tepid-Endorsement", Any-One who Wins, DESERVES OUR Sympathy & Support!!!!!

Lord Have Mercy.............

Peace, Love & Respect.

"Charles Dickens said of the United States that if its citizens were to be believed America “always is depressed, and always is stagnated, and always is at an alarming crisis, and never was otherwise.” On a variety of objective measures, it is in an awful mess right now. And yet America of all countries still has plenty of grounds to hope for a better future, despite its underperforming politics, and no matter who triumphs in November."

Charles Dickens was RIGHT!

This Author, couldn't have ended with a Better Optimistic & Hopefull Paragraph!!

This Lexington, will be MISSED!!!

R.I.P.

Peace, Love & Respect.

Here's another Salvo of "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST:

“If only the emperor knew…”

The Emperor KNEW!
The Emperor REWARDS!!
The Emperor has NO Clothes!!!

The CCP (Chinese Capitalist Party) is UnderMining Social-Stability, by it's own Voracious Appetite for Wealth!!!!
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is UnderMining Social-Stability, by it's own Vicious Excercise of the Power of Coercion & Repression!!!!!

Patriots like that Brave Mr Chen (there are many of them), is PROOF that China is still NOT Lost!!!!!!
The Choice is Simple: Either the Empire or the Peoples Republic.....

ALL Power to the People.

Peace, Love & Respect.

Here are a few "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST:

"...the moral hazard of rewarding defiance..."

This Defiance, that's being Displayed by the People, is indeed Highly CONTAGIOUS!
This Defiance, is indeed a "moral hazard", to the Immoral Shytsems/Systems that Rule!!

"....the euro needs French reform, German extravagance and Italian political maturity...."

It sounds like a Good Cure for what Ails the EU. Unfortunately, you'd also have to believe in the Tooth-Fairy & the Easter Bunny!!!

".....Whatever the make-up of its next government, the idea that Greece can repay this is the biggest fantasy of all......"

This is the Bottom Line. Get ready for Default....................

P.S. Where did all that Money, they Borrowed or Stole GO?????

Peace, Love & Respect.

I'm still in May-Day State of Mind, so here's a couple Radical-Thoughts from the FAR-WEST:

"Most of the time that German instinct is right."

This time, this "German Instinct" may be Wrong!

"Tolerating higher inflation is risky..."

The type of "Higher-Inflation" that Many/Most of US have experienced, is Intolerable!!
For over 3 decades now, the PRICES keep on RISING, while OUR WAGES keep on FALLING!!!
Every-Thing Co$t$ MORE, except for the MOST Ignored & Important Component of this Whole Equation!!!!

"It can be hard to squeeze down again...."

We Can & Will NOT be "Squeezed" any Further!!!!!

P.S. Every Day is May-Day......

Peace, Love & Respect.

"...This newspaper endorsed Mr Sarkozy in 2007,..."

This newspaper, has an Illustrious & Long Track-Record, of Endorsing some Really BAD-Candidates!
This newspaper, continues in their Tradition of Picking the Losing-Horse!!

This newspaper, Endorsed GWB (For-Gods-Sake)!!!
Need I Say MORE................

Peace, Love & Respect.

Here's a Select-Set of Radical-Thoughts, from the FAR-WEST:

That BEER is still BREWED in Pakistan, is In-Deed a GOOD Sign!
Those WAHABIS, can NOT be allowed to WIN!!

The ONLY Pakistani restaurants I KNOW, Dare NOT Serve any Alcohol!!!
There's NO-Thing WRONG, with Halal/Kosher/Zabiha Cuisine!!!!

They Better NOT Mess with my.....................

Peace, Love & Respect.

"..Governments, however, may find it harder. Their instinct is to protect industries and companies that already exist, not the upstarts that would destroy them. They shower old factories with subsidies and bully bosses who want to move production abroad...."

What "Governments", are you Talking about?

The Key-Word in this Excellent-Leader, is REVOLUTION!

Peace, Love & Respect.

"..The question is why the federal government is doing this..."

Here's a Few-Furious "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST:

Why they DiD it, is the Least of my Concerns & Worries!
Who they DiD it to, is what Disgusts & Troubles me!!

What they Do NEXT-in this FAKE "War-On-Drugs", is Any-One's guess!!!
When the DRONES start Flying over Humboldt county, it MIGHT be a Little-2-Late to ACT!!!!

This Criminal(IN)Justice/Prison-Industrial-Complex, is just.......

Peace, Love & Respect.

Here's a couple of "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST:

".They have linked up with local protest groups around the country, and broadened their demands to include the nationalisation of copper mines.."

ALL the Mineral-Wealth of this WORLD, NEEDS to be Nationalised!
(That includes OIL)

"..Unless Chile’s politicians respond to frustrations that lie behind the protests, the country risks succumbing to the populism that afflicts its neighbour, Argentina (see article)..."

Having Borne Witness to the Abject FAILURE of the Nation-State, I Like this New-Kind-Form of Populism!!

P.S. Chile's politicians, do NOT stand a chance, to Respond to these Universal Frustrations.
P.S.S. The ONLY Solution, WILL come from the STREET & STUDENTS..

Peace, Love & Respect.

This is the FIRST article, that I Happened to READ in this week's Edition. I FEEL So Fortunate, to have done So!
In the Un-Likely Event, that it Happens to be the ONLY article I READ this week, I FEEL Beyond Grateful for the Excellent Efforts of "The Economist"!!

This FIRST article, was (MORE than GOOD) Enough to Elicit an Exclusive Set of "Radical-Thoughts" from the FAR-WEST:

I FEEL like I could Write A Doctoral-Dissertation, just Based on the Fascinating-Work of these Brilliant BRAINS & Magnificent MINDS(REBEL ReSearchers)!!!
I KNOW about "Social-Status" (in my Twisted-MIND I FEEL Like I BeLong to the 0.01%), BUT I'm an ENTRENCHENED with the 99.99% of US!!!!
I LIKE the WORK that's Being UnderTaken by these Scientists, since they HELP Explain (Once Again) WHY it's ALL about the GENES!!!!!

It's TIME to AcTivate those DORMANT DNA Strands, Before it's TOO LATE to........

Peace, Love & Respect.

"..GUN-TOTING individuals intimidate unarmed folk because they tote guns....."

Here's a Set-of-Serious "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST:

Most of those "GUN-TOTING individuals", have a BADGE (of Some-Sort) to TOUT!
The ONLY-TIME a "GUN-TOTING individual" Pulled a GUN on ME, SHE happenend to have a BADGE ON!!
Less than a HandFul of Years ago -while on a Good-Will Mission, Was When I First encountered this Form of "Intimidation"!!!
Luckily for HER, I Chose to Comply & Compromise, InStead of this Fight or Flee Option!!!!

I'm a SUCKER for a WoMan (our BETTER HALF) in Uniform, So I let it Slip & Slide!!!!!
I'm SO LUCKY that it was a Bold & Brave WoMan -that Felt ME UP & Touched ME, on that Day!!!!!!

FORGET about FLEE, it's TIME to FIGHT the Powers that BE..........

Peace, Love & Respect

There's this Ancient Arab Proverb, that goes like this:

"Seek Wisdom, from the Mouths of Fools"

So here's a Word to the Wise:

WE Need, MORE Emotional Intelligence!
WE Need, MORE Empathy!!
WE Need, SOME Enlightenment!!!

Peace, Love & Respect.

Here's a Few Select "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST:

From North to South, and West to East -Mama AFRICA is Rich & Wealthy Beyond Belief!
This Modern-Day Scramble for AFRICA, WILL Only cause MORE Grief!!

Time to Catch a Thief..................

Peace, Love & Respect.

"... And its assertiveness, particularly in maritime territorial disputes, has grown with its might. The dangers of military miscalculation are too high for comfort....."

Here's a Set of RARE "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST to the Far-East:

I'm NOT a Fan of the CCP, but I LOVE this "Assertiveness"!
I'm NOT so Sure about some of these Frivolous-Claims (Maritime Ones), about some Far-Off Islands, but I LOVE this DEFIANCE!!

I'm NOT as Concerned with China's GROWING-POWER, and why some Hypothetical Military Mis-Calculations, MIGHT cause a little BIT of Dis-Comfort to some DECLINING-POWER!!!

After Witnessing the Effects & Results of the Pre-Eminent Pacific Power's Un-Checked Multiple-Military-Miscalculations, WE are ready for a CHANGE!!!!

This World needs a STRONG China, to act as a Counter-Weight to you KNOW Who & Who & ...........!!!!!
This World needs a STRONG China, to be the YIN or the YANG, so that a Semblance of Balance, can be Re-Stored!!!!!!

Un-Fortunately for ALL of US, the Sad-News is: even as a NEW "Détente" is Emerging, it's the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) that's Profiting on both sides of the Pacific...........

Peace, Love & Respect.

Here's a Rare-Pair of "Radical-Thoughts", from the FAR-WEST:

This StagFlation, is NOT the Solution!

It's Either DeFlation, or REVOLUTION!!

Peace, Love & Respect.

It's thanks to the Dows & Monsantos of the World, that the Bees are Dying!

Peace, Love & Respect.
