We have been saying for a long time that the stock market is a gambling casino and that our unrestrained Free Market Capitalism has reached its unsustainable regime with the appointment of George Bush Jr. to the Presidency by the Supreme Court of the United States.

We are going to understand little by little and in accordance to our intelligence many of the problems of Free Market Capitalism. And in doing so we are going to explain ideas as they prop up in our imagination and without paying too much attention to their congruence as we have reached the point where we must compare apples with oranges to make some sense of the Free Market, a market which I have defined as a conspiracy by the big corporations and fortunate sons.

I have a sense of disbelief on how our business schools, politicians and experts are all conjuring for a new world order managed by technological advances as normally protected by 20 year intellectual property rights, managed by supporting tax cuts as more people are being marginalized, managed by supporting smaller governments as corporations become bigger and steal from common people, managed by supporting privatization as our democracies are eroding, managed by the predictions of our institutionalized economists as they try to sustain the ideology of the Free Market, and above all, and yes, a new world order supported by the super power of the push-button United States military machinery.

I am trying to put some ideas in writing so that I can follow some more congruent thoughts later, but my point is that our unrestrained Free Market Capitalism has reached its unsustainable Big Bubble and this is why we are living in a state of secrecy, of fear, of autocratic environment and this is why our freedom has been taken over by the forces of the Free Market and this is why the Big Bubble is being protected by the superpower of the United States military machinery.
