A Short Jeremiad to the US Election Process

Fastened To A Dying Animal
A Short Jeremiad Regarding That Affront to the Nation's Dignity Known as the US Election Process

PEJ News - Phil Rockstroh - Here in this crumbling empire once known as the American republic, here in a nation that, at present, for all practical purposes, only produces Cheetos and killer drones, whose architecture is being winnowed
down to thriving rural meth houses and foreclosed upon suburban mchouses, whose corrupt corporate culture has bequeathed upon our suffering planet dying oceans and the hyper-caffeinated tsunami of Red Bull Capitalism -- the essential question confronts us -- how does one retain (not retail) one's humanity amid the catastrophic machinery and inane accouterment of our age?

PEJ News - Pablo Ouziel, Justice Editor - For a while now, I have been thinking about what George W. Bush signifies from a socio-political perspective. Looking at the world from the time of the ‘Big Bang’ of September 11th, 2001, until today almost seven years later, one can clearly observe how monstrous our human interaction has become. After much reading and analysis, I now understand that September 11th was not the starting point of a new world order, but to the contrary, it was purely the end of a specific human state of affairs.

PEJ News - "Crude oil will soar to more than $200 (U.S.) a barrel over the next five years, Canadian gasoline prices could hit $2.25 a litre, says CIBC economist Jeff Rubin."  $200 equals apocalypse.   

The sub prime mortgage problems were originally caused because people couldn't pay their mortgage.  They couldn't pay their mortgage because their real wages were going down as the price of energy went up.   Everything that is done requires energy and taken to the ultimate analysis, one finds that everything is a product or the energy to take it from the earth and deliver it to the customer.  Rising energy = inflation.
