The Scapegoat Game


I've always looked forward to reading your comments, since you seem to have been the only voice of reason in the casino-capitalism horde for a very long time.

I can't help but think what Naomi Klein has so aptly concluded in her recent book, "The Shock Doctrine". The powerful (take your pick of the villains from the internet conspiracy theory diaspora - The Bilderberg group, the council/committee of 300, Illuminati, the Fed - http://www.whale.to/b/300.html) have always used opportunities like these ,where the society in general is near some sort of utter catastrophe, to grab more power. The "opportunities", in most cases, are created by the powerful or are a simple manifestation of their previous actions - like a Casino, the house always wins!

The true question to ask is: Does the premise that the "free market" must offer both the buyers and sellers the same information/playing field hold true?

Somehow, I have a sneaky suspicion that it won't be the case Mr. Schwartz!
