Just Like the Wolves: Humans Negated, Written off, Warehoused, Displaced

http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/john-stanton/55271/culling-the-human-herd-in-the-21st-century

"There is a de facto redefinition of 'the economy' when sharp contractions are gradually lost to standard measures. The unemployed who lose everything…easily fall off the edge of what is defined as 'the economy' and counted as such. So do small shop and factory owners who lose everything and commit suicide. And so do the growing number of well-educated students and professionals who leave…all together. These trends redefine the space of the economy. They make it smaller and expel a good share of the unemployed and poor from standard measures. Such a redefinition makes 'the economy' presentable, so to speak, allowing it to show a slight growth of GDP per capita.

"The reality at the ground level is more akin to a kind of economic version of ethnic cleansing in which elements considered troublesome are dealt with by simply eliminating them. This shrinking and redefinition of economic space so that economies can be represented as being 'back on track' holds for a growing number of economies in the European Union and elsewhere [like the United States]… One indication of a people’s economic despair is a sharp rise in suicide. This trend is evident in several countries worldwide from India to the United States"…

So is the State-Corporate System, designed and led by the USA, gearing up for a shooting/economic war against both Russia and China? Can you say tactical nuclear weapons? The reality is that there are too many people in the world. A large number of them are a drag on economic performance. Many of them are “old” and blocking opportunities for the young. There simply is not enough work and the State-Corporate System does not want to pay “living wages.” Why should they when prison labor is widely available.
