Global Financial Crisis and Global Warming, we are the little monkeys
By David Verveer
For the normal world citizen like myself, (not a politician, nor an industrialist, nor a player in the financial wilderness of international economics), our existence is threatened even more, not alone will be burn (not in hell, but here on earth), we will have to do it in poverty. Not so long ago, they (the mass media) warned us, that if we continue to use our car in order to do the shopping, will cause eventually that our great grand children will have to live in a much warmer place, without ice bears, but with new touristic sites at the tropical north pole, were you will get a tan in no time, as there is no ozone layer anymore. I could live with this horrible threat, as the supermarket opposite my house, does not have the products I want, and do not want ice bears to swim around in the wild, they are nasty animals, they eat fish, and cause every so often a price hike in the supply of fresh gefilte fish, but now, only recently, they (again the same Media) tells us that we are now in a financial crisis, that people get fired, that our life savings are loosing its value, and we are slowing down (at my age, slowing down comes naturally, but that is irrelevant).
The above nonsense, is a short summary of the facts and figures we are bombarded with on the internet, radio and television, without that we have any choice to evade them, and we accept them in our stride, just like we accept the calamities we see is the reality programs on TV, as they (the Media) do not provide any solutions, and if I understand it, they don't know either, the are in the same sinking boat, and do not have any better life savers, than us, the common man.
If it wouldn't be so sad and dangerous, we would look at the humor of it, as both calamities (global financial crisis and warming) are man made, and occur (or don't exist) only due to human reaction. Global Warming, as we discussed before, is a hoax, in order to increase the value of alternative / green energy, and reduce the use of petrol and conventional fuels, based on false and fabricated, so called scientific studies, with center piece, a close up of penguins. The results until now are worldwide hunger, due to rising food prices, as surplus cereals which were sent to the third world were redirected to the Methanol production.
The Global financial Crisis is even more peculiar, it is caused by greed, loss of faith between banks and investors, using money to cover bluff transactions, and then, somebody pulled the plug, like domino stones, the reaction was started, all stones tumbled down, Governments started to pump money back in the collapsing chain reaction, without any results, as there is no bottom yet in sight. Of course the players themselves are not affected, gone are the days they lost all there possessions, and committed suicide by jumping from the roofs, they simply closed the shop and fired the employees, so that they have the opportunity to jump from the roofs instead of them.
In both situations, nothing real happened to start those calamities and both are man made, and both are affecting us, the peons, the non players, while the culprits remain high and dry, and unlike gifted journalists, I have no solution other than tell you a joke, about this small island in the middle of the ocean, on which lived a special kind of small monkeys, living in and around the only tree on the middle of the island. The Zoo of Aalten (a small town, eastern Holland, without any Zoo, as far as I know, used only to make the story sound truer) decided that they needed these apes in order to complete their collection, and went on the expedition to catch some of these animals. The landed at the island, got a landing permit from the authorities (irrelevant to the story but I want it to sound real), started to surround the apes with nets, those poor monkeys, frightened like hell, retreated to the tree, and the brave hunters circulated the tree. We had now a classical case of blockade, and our question to you, what in your opinion, those poor small apes had to do, in order to escape capture. You will think for a little while, suggest some stupid suggestions, until you raze your hands, and tell me, that you have no solution for the poor little monkeys, and than I am supposed to say, if you as giant ape, have no solution, how do you expect a solution from those small apes, (end joke).
But wait a moment, my dear fellow apes, this comparison fits us precisely, hunger, poverty and disaster are on the way, and no power in the world can stop our self destruction, my advice, enjoy the time we have before it reaches us.
