In a fit of utter despair at the “European” inanity I have disappeared, dropped out of the struggle. However, since that is no way to deal with anything, be it a crisis, death, stupidity or, above all survival, I have decided in “a moment of madness” that I must get back into the fray, as Shakespeare’s Henry V exhorted: “Once more unto the breach dear friends.”
So once more I shall jump in for better or for worse. Of course it is no longer about economics. If it ever it really was. But about power and politics and human nature which NEEDS to be regulated and since time immemorial man has always realised this and tried to regulate human behaviour in one way or another, through tribal structures, the fear of God or, at best the rule of law.
And man has been equally resilient in trying to get out of all constrictions to satisfy his greed or lust for power. So here we go again, trying to sort out the deviousness from the idiocy, the power of propaganda from critical analysis and the psychology of victimhood from that of the crowd.
Meanwhile do enjoy the following gem: In a Moment of Madness.
