Ortega came back didn’t he. It as my take it was a much less active incarnation. However, that may mostly be because there’s nobody up here objecting to what he’s doing.
What’s your thought on the resultant down sides to taking him out?
Considering the long term connections of the Bush family in Central and South America, it is most telling that GWB took such extreme action in the Middle East while ignoring the increasing spread of communism throughout Central and South America. My take is that the internationalist ilk loves communism because assets are cheap to buy from dysfunctional governments. They prey upon collapse.
At this point, that process is now so advanced there is no place for a domino to fall that isn't already down. I don't think Ortega amounts to much in that respect with Venezuela or Brazil being just as bad.
Basically, American regulation of oil production has financed communism worldwide with petro-revenues. It has forced America to fund military production and consolidated our police state. Essentially, it is environmentalism that supposedly justifies said regulation that is the central battle of our time, not only politically but socially. For example, middle class dysfunctionality reducing purchasing power is the central rationale for the architecture of our educational system, whether the positive reinforcement system of Skinner's "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" justified on an environmental essentially Malthusian rationale (Carnegie and Ford Foundation money) or Kinsey's program of sexual depravity as financed by the Rockefellers.
Ain't it grand? Now you know why I wrote Natural Process, Shemitta, and have now finished up a new book on our native plant restoration project here. I have dedicated my lift to go after that environmental nexus by redefining both technically and socially the quality of relationship between people and the land through free enterprise and automated contract systems involving risk management. It's "out there" but somebody's got to do it. This Hegelian dialectic is actually composed of two groups of people who each want the power to determine the degree of risk of harm supposedly inflicted in the management of private property. Both miss the opportunity to develop vitality in the land because both are abused with the false 18th century notion that Nature is self-optimizing. It's really a foundational problem in American culture.
