Minor Comedy in the Early Days of the Asian Century


All over but the shouting? Somehow, you know a leaf has turned. Asian Century it already is. Like in the old system of smokes and mirrors, the usual can still scream and pretend as if still old days (the prestitute media that we now know nobody reads are still in life support, somehow), but sooner or later, one will wake up in a dawn of exhausted screams fast fading in an indifferent echoing chamber. The credibility gap finally caught up. The last echo was the last-ditch attempt to crow about the  "effects" of the contrived narrative of alleged emerging countries-dominoes which were supposed to "fall" as the US Fed untapered the "hot money" (which were already discounted beforehand  by the more  discerning ones). This is seen by credible quarters as the last card of the highly-indebted to still brandish its supposed "clout", but its obvious, it has not wrought the desired effects  ('lessons" they were called in the old times). There were a few minor devaluations (part of a general ruse to sidestep a dying fiat currency), but despite the usual destabilization from the usual NGO's, the now hackneyed script finally broke down and, almost hilariously, nobody found themselves really "falling". None was ready to offer their ass again this time. The fact is, everybody  already had their own plans to unload the worthless fiat all along & defending themselves with the usual prescription will only deepen themselves mired in outdated discredited claws. Fortunately, taking the light punches for now (perhaps for the last time) will mean liberation in the end.

Amusing that at the end stage, some of the so-called "alternative" American press sold out. They were still free with their criticisms of what's wrong with the US economy, but (too apparent now as "trade-off" for something), they also became  stringent in singing the prepared operetta of the "failing" emerging economies refrain. Lately, even after a series of laughable duds, they became strident in including China with stories that were even rehashed everyday as if they were so anxious that their "paymaster" would find their knack for propaganda lacking. There you go, the loss of credibility became total. It only opened eyes to the desperation.

I actually think, America will be better off without the so-called gangsters running its empire, especially the financial section (the current "drama" of actually attempting, no matter if it turned out ineffective, to create emerging-market dominoes is proof of the malignancy of this one), and the political operators. The latter are just as malignant. But at least, they know how to entertain. Recently, there was a rash of Keystone cops operations, and the most hilarious came out of Ukraine. The latest bumbling just gave the world a peep on how to go about planning a regime change. Fuck you, Eu!

If ever you're curious what goes on behind a "People Power" covert operation, watch this.

Anyway, better days are ahead in America, finally. It will be a real Land of the Free again just like in the early days of the union. Thanks to the Asian Century.
