- While The Eloi King Fiddles...

Today the king of the Eloi is meeting with the Japanese prime minister. They’re missing every salient and important point between the two countries, and instead focusing on the no nukes movement. Which as you know has been recently revived from it’s suspended animation tank in the Whitehouse basement, where it had slumbered undisturbed since the end of the Carter administration.

That they are focusing on this idiotic stuff is criminal and that the dimwit press is letting them is negligent. Of course Japan is no nukes… who else if not them. But if we can set aside the pacifist movement (as most Americans did a generation ago), there are issues of today that should really be discussed. Japan’s economic condition is deteriorating rapidly. It will be the first country to go over the economic waterfall, and rather than addressing that and dealing with the all but certan disaster, Obama continues to paddle us closer to their position.

Japan is about to face that crisis of all social crises, a haircut for their pensioners. The after affects of that will be dramatic to say the least. (To imagine what this means, just picture what would happen if we told everyone in America that we're cutting social security payments in half regardless of what was promised or what you may have paid in.) Japan will no longer be in a position to help support the dollar or to buy US debt. Their domestic economy will go into freefall as the price of commodities soar, and they’ll try to cope with the social changes when energy becomes so expensive in yen that the worlds second most modern economy will begin to more closely resemble the 15th century.

But not to worry … the Eloi king is on the job. He’s got a rousing speech about ‘international cooperation’ and our ‘shared goals’ and world without nuclear weapons. He’s so much like Carter that the secret service should start carrying small gauge shotguns to repel all the rabbits that are bound to attack.

Carter was an incredibly weak president; so weak that even herbivores scared him witless. The same is obviously true of Obama. But Obama has an ability to ignore the facts that Carter never had. At least Carter tried to run the country, but all Obama seems to be doing is continuing the election campaign.

God help us all.
