It blows my mind how many of our supposed “leaders”, once you turn over the rocks, are nothing but low life sleazes whom we are to honor and to whom we should defer (where has the MSM been for the last many years?). Most of them I would not let in my house, yet amazingly, we willingly give them the power of life and death over us because of their “credentials” and/or offices held. And as Kunstler astutely points out, it is not just a U S phenomenon but world wide in scope. Most telling, however, is the commonality of attitudes and actions undertaken by these self important “players” to ensure their grip on power is not compromised. It goes back to what we have been discussing ad infinitum, about the commonality of human attributes, endeavors and overall lack of character when it affects their “gravy train” financially, reputations or power. Education, codes of ethics and even possible sanctions often are not enough to corral those of questionable character regardless of field of endeavor. It seems, “What’s in it for me?”, is their “Golden Rule”and to which they will cling until their dying breaths! We are truly in for the fight of our lives if we really want to change the status quo.
