It requires a certain level of mutual trust.
with the trust comes the cashflow?

It's not really all that deep for those of us with eyes to see through the conditioning, indoctrination, brainwashing and the technology that has transformed half or more than half the population into semi-conscious biological androids. To see beyond the corporate controlled media bullshit and the global elite who, at this point are so secure, they don't even try to hide it anymore.

Sure, publicly the infinitesimally small governing elite do everything they can to appear as if at odds, but beneath this facade, they are united because of one thing: protection of and expansion of their wealth and power and control over billions of useless eaters. They know what we don't, division amongst them = conquered.

Of course, they don't agree on everything, if anything at all, other than the most important: that massive populations must be kept under control in order to remain on top...to further their agenda. Full spectrum dominance, or whatever they want to call it.

Nope, that comes from the oil. :)
(But keep in mind that Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland don't have oil, and they're still some of the richest countries in the world.)

With the trust comes the expectation that whatever side of the political spectrum you're on you play by the book and argue politics, not persons. Someone like Trump would have been laughed out of the building, savaged by the media and kicked out of the party he was representing.

It's not for a lack of trying. Sanders wants Scandinavian style social democracy in the US, and quite a few people seem to agree. Gorbachev wanted to go that route with the Soviet Union too but was, shall we say, not very successful. And just look at the way Corbyn is treated in the UK. It's extremely hard to remove entrenched interests. The people at the top don't want to share the pie and will go to extreme lengths to prevent it.

But I'm sure those horrible socialist things like free healthcare, free education and social mobility would turn America into a communist Hellscape of Total Destruction.

Btw: I've spent about a year total in the US. I have wealthy family on one coast and dirt poor rednecks on the other. I've seen both sides of the coin, and from where I'm standing it's not pretty. The people are great, but the system is fucked.

Look at what they did to Libya. Those people had more wealth shared into the populace than any country on earth. Free education, paid education if you wanted to study in another country, gas was so cheap it was damn near free. People that got married got about 60,000 dollars to buy a house and start a family. Medical care. You name it.

That cannot be tolerated because it might spread like a "contagious disease" and so it was eradicated. I'm not saying the man in the big hat was a saint, but damn, the rest of the world could benefit in the same way. But no, a few fuckers have to hog it all up. Its the way we roll..............

But we have to have an "open society" which means open pocketbooks so everybody can be robbed. Like I said. We are fucked. Everybody. Color is obviously no barrier between being fucked.

Yep, Libya's a great example of what can never be. Just the deliberate destruction of Libya's Great Man-Made River Project--called the 8th wonder of the world by some-- of which three phases were completed, should be enough evidence proving the evil intent of these elite globalists. How dare the citizens of this nation, or any nation, enjoy a quality of life, the likes of which most could only dream of

Bank loans - at 0% interest - by law.

50% government subsidies on the purchase of a car.

Housing for everyone (as it was considered a human right.)

FREE education – right through from kindergarten to post-graduate school…

FREE healthcare.

FREE water and electricity…

NO TAXES…instead the government, once a month, paid Prosperity Bonuses to each and every family…derived from the enormous profits of the nation’s oil sales.

On top of all that, cost of living here, was mercifully low.

A gallon of gas cost just 53 cents.

A loaf of bread – cost less than a penny!

Gadaffi did a lot of things right, but he also did a lot of things very wrong. Throwing all that oil money at people was good for the short term, but really bad for the long term. Oil runs out. I would say he was more of a one hit wonder than anything else.

The guy who wrote the list of great things you quote (James Dale Davidson, from here (please post links when you quote stuff): http://pro.sovereignsociety.com/99NDP/PNDPQ210/Full ) also writes:
one of the world’s last true democracies (I know of only two other that would qualify: Switzerland and Denmark).

Which is absolutely laughable. Denmark has the exact same political system as most European countries. Switzerland is, as far as I know, the only one with direct democracy.

Calling Libya a true democracy is a stretch, to put it mildly, and Davidson doesn't seem to have a clue.
He can't even spell Nelson Mandela's name correctly.

I would love to see a reliable source on what life was really like in Libya under Gadaffi.

If only it were that simple. It's deeper than that.

Of course it's deeper than that. It's a lot older than neo-liberal capitalism, obviously. And older than the Anglo-Saxons. It's in everyone, and I think it's handy to give it a name.

The name is Moloch.

Allan Ginsberg's Howl

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz,
who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated,
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy among the scholars of war,
