Who's really in charge here?

If Desmoulins was alive and well in Dublin in 2010 would he have uttered those famous words: "the great only appear great because we are on our knees"?
I think he would have said the great only appear great because we have dug ourselves a 40 foot trench and lopped our legs off at the knees"! its seems more apt for our situation.There is something weird, of the night you might say, about this whole situation with government. Why are experienced career politicians like Cowen committing suicide right in front of us like this...He knows he'll go down in History as the most unpopular leader of Ireland since her Independence...He knows he'll struggle to be re-elected...So why the FUCK in the name of God almighty is he so dedicated to saving Anglo...probably the most unpopular thing in IRELAND since god damned cherry coke? If he just let the bitch die and funnelled that bailout money into social programmes he'd have no worries...Cowen doesn't need this grief he's a career politician remember, he gets his job by being popular...If the developers lost that money then...shit that's capitalism...happens...Look if America lets Lehman Bros fail... then it's not about protecting sovereign debt, society and all that bullshit.

So what is it about?
Why so dedicated to saving Anglo and the banks??? Its because and surely this has become clear to even the gombeeniest of the gombeen public the banks and developers are the ones that are really in charge. We elect THEIR representatives and its so fucking obvious now that the puppet politicians do THEIR bidding:"We lost 80thousand million, get us our money back Brian...No backchat...don't forget whose in charge here Brian" You see isn't it obvious?the banks and developers are in charge, they make the goddamned decisions here!Thats why Fitzpatrick and Duffen can sit in their Villas owing millions without a care in the world...where as Mrs O'Carrol from down the road who owes 200 quid to her credit card is living in fear of the bailiffs...

So the public from the hardest working tradesman to that fella who does fuck all and just sits eating crisps at the end of the bar gets fucked harder and harder...If times get tough THEY spend the summer France instead of Barbados while WE lose our jobs,our homes and our opportunities.

Its time to take back OUR country...Spread the word...talk about this shite in the bar, in work, in bed before rumpy dumpy, write blogs, write to your politicians, take your money from the banks...shit i will support you if you smash windows and spray paint walls...They have taken so much now they'll never just give it back...maybe just maybe the words of Desmoulins do hold true: "The great only appear great because we are on our knees...Let us rise".

More tomorrow...
