They hate suburban development in this state, and desire a balkanized society where the rich toast each other in wine parties at their eco-mansions at the expense of slave labor. That is what they want and that is what they are building. They hate the middle class because it consumes resources that they want for themselves.
To call the way deregulation turned out in California unplanned or foolish requires ignoring the way these people have either accepted massive financial support from or directly worked for elements of the energy business. It ignores their individual histories and long associations. It negates their involvement in lawsuits designed to create the necessary underlying shortage that is the real foundation of the financial crisis in electrical prices.
Needless to say, it is of course in the interest of this moneyed elite to profit as much as possible along the way. They restrict urban real estate and profit on the scarcity. They finance the loans to the State and click their tongues and waggle their fingers solemnly when it needs more money. They import immigrunts to keep the wages down and finance a bureaucracy to serve them and eat at middle class taxes. They support gay rights and destroy middle class families with drugs and rotten schools. In short, they go right on building their fascist banana democracy.
So, should it be confusing that the Slave Party is building the same kind of state in California that existed in the old South? Why should that be any surprise? In a global economy where exporting capital to play the same game is very profitable, why shouldn't industry come right along, especially when the RICOnuts give them few options to do otherwise?
Very thought provoking post. Grampsand the WaspMan need to read this one...
I was living in Sacramento when MoonBeam announced his new "Era of Limits". Part of that era of limits was to curtail and eventually shut down any new electrical power plants and to delay our two nuke plants under construction.
Since 1976, these rich elite eco fascists worked hand in hand with the enviralists closing down power plants and limiting any new ones (damn few if any) to using only Natural Gas. (Enron and a few corporate backers of these super rich fascists), supported them and the economic terrorist enviralists to assure that atomic power was a no-no, hydro power was evil as it killed the fish gods, salmon, and of course anyother hydrocarbon fuel to produce electrical power was just too hideous to even consider.
Then, as Carry in a great work picture, noted that the Slave Party opened up our borders to ImmriGrunt labor. I can remember the two faced fascists of Club Sierra worrying and sueing anybody for spoiling the environment actually okaying the flow of illegal ImmriGrunts into the state. Thanks to Carry, we now know why.
So with no new power plants these Elite/Rich Fascists and their buddies engineered the blackout situations where our electrical supply could not meet the demand starting big time in 2000.
As gov_bean_ counter,(a very wise freeper with some great insight) pointed out that Enron really wanted Goron as their president.
The groundwork had been set up with Davis and his power fascists and the Economic Enviral Nazis. We would have seen full Fascism re power production, distribution and supply in Kaliland with Herr Davis and the Goron in power.
This is my opus for about a week. I will be doing Mother's Day things, honey do lists for next week, day trips and a vow to my bride to leave the computer alone during that time. I should detox most of my addiction to FR and following the Davis criminal actions.
You guys and gals are great. I learn so much about what is going on under our noses and around us for over 20 years for the first time by logging on to Free Republic. I want to thank all you for the great contributions and sometimes spirited discussions. I truly feel blessed to live in this time/age and able share with my fellow conservatives.
I know I left out some names, but hey, I'm a Grampa and I forget things.
See all you on the 20 or 21st, right here. Keep piling it on to our Fascist Davis.
This is thanks to Howie:
