Italeave!

If you've been following the artificial currency crisis fueled by the Austerian impulse of the European Union's Neoliberal bureaucrats under the economic domination of German Banks it should be obvious that barring some miracle the common European Currency (the Euro) is doomed to destruction. Unfortunately for some of the starry-eyed idealists (or cynical apparatchiks, take your pick) who still have (or profess) faith in the "European Project" it seems increasingly likely that the Euro's demise will take the Union with it.

What the anti-democratic drones have done so far is ignore the systemic problems (like the appalling lack of democracy) in favor of "pissing on fires", "kicking the can down the road", "slapping on a Band-Aid", "extending and pretending", and "foaming the runway", which has had the sadly predictable result of allowing things to fester until moderate solutions are ineffective and radical change required.

On the other hand you can hardly blame them. Real reform requires a Treaty unanimously approved by all 28 National governments, something that was difficult then and is probably impossible now, because people (the 99%, the electorate on which the politicians and bureaucrats depend on for their phony baloney jobs) are very, very angry.

Hillary's leaks--a toss up: Heads or Tails? Is she mentally competent?

Submitted by Alligator Ed on Fri, 09/09/2016 - 4:08am

Hello, Hillary Health fans. Now, knowing this audience, there will be some repulsed by health matters being mentioned--after all, that's not polite. When it comes to somebody's mental competence to do the job of being President, it damn well should matter. My health issues--or your health issues--are nobody's concerns but our own--as long as we are not running for elected office.

Moral Idiocy

Submitted by Meteor Man on Fri, 09/09/2016 - 12:06am

Moral Idiocy is not something this writer, creative as he is, has simply made up. It is a real concept in psychology that has been around for over a century.

Long story short:

Moral idiocy[′mär·əl ′id·ē·ə·sē]
(psychology)
Inability to understand moral principles and values and to act in accordance with them, apparently without impairment of the reasoning and intellectual faculties.

The Anti-Antiwar Left

Submitted by Big Al on Thu, 09/08/2016 - 9:41pm

Many have lamented the lack of an antiwar movement in this country, the land of Empire and Imperialism. Many have also criticized the faux left that supports U.S. "interventions", those that support War Criminal Obama and want War Criminal Clinton to be the next President of the Empire.

We're not alone. They have the same problem in Europe.

It sure is good to be back and talking Resilience with old and new friends. I’d like to think at you also about a related topic, namely, spirituality, and specifically how to reframe it in our time of the great unraveling. The purpose of this post is to seek out a few similar-minded people, similar to the regulars in Resilience discussions, who would converse with me as I try to sort out my own spirituality.

Welcome to Thursday Coffee Hour. this is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. I am watching the news in North Dakota. I am there in spirit since it is impossible for me to be there in person. As part Cherokee I am proud that my people are there with our brothers and sisters trying to stop the desecration of our lands.
