Agents of Puissance

I like many millions of others, sat up all night for the chance to view what is easily the most historically significant event in world politics; the inauguration of Mr Obama. Now I think most of us aren’t naïve enough to believe that tomorrow will see the beginning of world peace and an end to poverty. The Republicans have been dealt a savage blow and they are bleeding and angry thus any chance of worldwide reconciliation is simply a pipe dream because such values will cost these people their ultimate hold on power and the ability to make money through selling and developing weapons.

 

The agents of puissance have already set the wheels in motion; for one they left a legacy of debt that will take some 100 years to pay off, a couple of overt wars and god knows how many covert. They have crawled back into their spider holes to regroup but already the ‘brokers of depredation’ are coming out to undermine and harass the Obama administration. In his usual typically paranoid and obsessive partisan state Rush Limbaugh said, ‘he hopes Obama fails as president because he will usher in socialism.’ This man needs serious medication; Ronald Reagan peddled this sort of propaganda back in the 50s to fight the evils of a free national health service because once healthcare is free then naturally the ‘Dominos’ will continue to fall and he actually said, “The next step is communism”.  America spends approximately 15% of GDP on healthcare and we spend about 9% on ‘Universal’ healthcare; such is the price of a ‘Free and Market Driven Capitalist Economy’. The only thing this form of capitalism has proved is that it can only survive in a ‘Quasi-Socialist Economy’.
