 Subtitle: considering the correct appellation

-=*=-

G'day Angela Ryan, and thanks for gracing us with your thoughts and research - as in your 'We can find friends elsewhere... so can a few others too'.

But 1st things 1st; before we go anywhere, I must raise an objection to this statement, from another post, almost from another world: "This is now a matter of public record." Referred to was an item published on a web-page sporting this: «"© 2004 Independent News & Media"».

While I have every respect for this page/organisation, it is only one voice; it is part of what we like to call the MSM, itself often alleged to be variously 'venal' or 'corrupt' if not both; my own expressions include pro-status quo propaganda pushers, and 'transmitter/amplifiers' of such propaganda. And propaganda by its very nature (being designed to deceive) is often described as 'filthy' and 'lying.'

Phew! Yes, that means the reader should carefully consider any such articles on their merits, keeping in mind traditional police procedures: establishing motive, opportunity, and method; and specifically a) who benefits (short and long) and b) who quotes what sort'a articles?

In other words: caveat emptor? Enough said, for that item - IMHO.

Now, back to this from Angela: «I wonder how many nations' sovereignty and security will be sacrificed for secure oil supply for the elite and powerful regimes. I wonder if Israel will ever become too much of a weight for the US and UK as compared to their own security. ...»

Without disagreeing with what Angela says (IMHO it's mostly correct and proper), I wish to consider the correct appellation, namely referring to the term: 'elite[1].'

IMHO, the so-called Anglo/Christian CoW® with Judaic sprog 'leaders' (possibly more puppets than freestanding) and any shadowy 'power' behind such puppets (i.e. the real string-pullers) - this amorphous (and horrible!) lot, some by definition attempting invisibility, are collectively better termed 'the kleptocracy®,' also for the very good reason that they're (often? mostly? all'a time?) up to no good (massive understatement!), as in the 'perfect' examples of 'murder for spoil;' in Iraq for oil and in (mostly ex- and fast disappearing) Palestine for land and water.

One fallacious 'argument' put up by the pro-status quo lying propaganda pushers is that the US didn't have to invade to secure Iraq's oil, they could'a just bought it. Well, of course that's risible, because it really begs the question Q: just why don't they just buy it?

It begs the question, because the answer A: is that the US and their partners in crime (here all together: the wannabe hegemon, its illegal sprog and poodle with dag, all in greater or lesser degree (mass)murdering for spoil) are not interested in the very things they champion, namely, say, democracy and free markets; they say one thing (their propaganda) and do another (their vicious crimes;) some/many of these heinous crimes being considered worse that those of WW2, exactly because of - ta ra! The US/UK/Aus/Israel rank and utter hypocrisy[2].

What we get from the kleptocracy, their minions both 'professional' via the venal & corrupt MSM, and the [descriptor redacted] amateurs via the net (and to a certain apportioned shame) 'in here,' are lies and pretence (aka lying propaganda springing from the same single song-sheet[3]), spread with the intention of smearing the truth & truth-seeker/reporters both.

Well, this truth-seeker, this truth-reporter is not deceived, as I presume most honest readers also are not. "G'day" to honesty, "Bye" to crime & filthy perpetrator/apologists!
