Last week Jon Stewart said what should have been said:
But, Deep Capture has been talking about CNBC's motivations for doing this for awhile.
Yes, Virginia, it is organized crime.
It is organized crime working in the interests of very old money. It is organized crime working with an aim. The aim is de-modernization of most of America and most of the rest of the world.
As unpalatable as this is coming from the overtly aristocratic Republicans, it's important to realize this same kind of attitude is endemic in many environmentally conscious and socially active Democrats as well. Their fallacy comes in thinking that you can end the rapacious industrialism of the their Republican adversaries by returning the world to a pre-industrial state.
This is exactly wrong. The rapaciousness of those who would be feudal lords in increased in a demodernized world. The modern values of rationality, of education, of separation of church and state are what allowed the progress of the world in humanitarian advances in the 20th century.
Take that away and there will be collapse and a new Dark Age.
