I think Dialogue should be opened between the Managerial Classes, both in post and recently or, not so recently retired. To start making solid proposals for workable alternatives to the Think Tank, Quango, corporate group think machine’s efforts to shape the future. My comments have not appeared on Michael O’Sullivans blog, but given that in his book he says we must take inspiration from the levellers and the Putney debates, I am happy to Play Digger to his Colonel Rainsborough.
“Given that, you say in your book that we should take inspiration from the Levellers, and the Putney Debates. I rather hope that we can engage in some debate on where Globalisation went wrong, how Globalisation and Internationalism are different ideologies, and how the Sovereignty of people’s at a national level is irreconcilable with transnational interests.”
I am hoping that he is good to his written word and that his actions speak to his written word and dialogue will ensue. Anyway thats what this blog is around, a timeline and an idea that a shared understanding of complex events, and a discussion of possible remedies to consequeces from those events,where consequences have identifiable if not, obvious causes. Those things which which are beyond our powers to control will require an accomodation as to how to deal with such “Events”. This Old Ballad sums up all I could wish to say, we must particiapte in the setting of the agenda , “Command is given, we must obey, and quite forget old Christmas day:
Kill a thousand men, or a Town regain, we will give thanks and praise amain.” …….Listen to me and you shall hear, news hath not been this thousand year:
Since Herod, Caesar, and many more, you never heard the like before.
Holy-dayes are despis’d, new fashions are devis’d.
Old Christmas is kickt out of Town.
Yet let’s be content, and the times lament, you see the world turn’d upside down.The World Turned Upside Down
The text of this ballad is drawn from the Thomason Tracts (669. f. 10 (47)), where it is dated 8 April 1646. In it, the author decries the passing of all the favorite English Christmas traditions which he feels were killed at the Battle of Naseby in 1645.
To the Tune of, When the King enioys his own again.
Listen to me and you shall hear, news hath not been this thousand year:
Since Herod, Caesar, and many more, you never heard the like before.
Holy-dayes are despis’d, new fashions are devis’d.
Old Christmas is kickt out of Town.
Yet let’s be content, and the times lament, you see the world turn’d upside down.The wise men did rejoyce to see our Savior Christs Nativity:
The Angels did good tidings bring, the Sheepheards did rejoyce and sing.
Let all honest men, take example by them.
Why should we from good Laws be bound?
Yet let’s be content, &c.Command is given, we must obey, and quite forget old Christmas day:
Kill a thousand men, or a Town regain, we will give thanks and praise amain.
The wine pot shall clinke, we will feast and drinke.
And then strange motions will abound.
Yet let’s be content, &c.Our Lords and Knights, and Gentry too, doe mean old fashions to forgoe:
They set a porter at the gate, that none must enter in thereat.
They count it a sin, when poor people come in.
Hospitality it selfe is drown’d.
Yet let’s be content, &c.The serving men doe sit and whine, and thinke it long ere dinner time:
The Butler’s still out of the way, or else my Lady keeps the key,
The poor old cook, in the larder doth look,
Where is no goodnesse to be found,
Yet let’s be content, &c.To conclude, I’le tell you news that’s right, Christmas was kil’d at Naseby fight:
Charity was slain at that same time, Jack Tell troth too, a friend of mine,
Likewise then did die, rost beef and shred pie,
Pig, Goose and Capon no quarter found.
Yet let’s be content, and the times lament, you see the world turn’d upside down.

Louis CK is a sexual predator who mocks school shooting survivors, delegitimizes trans people, and could not work the rest of his life without ever worrying about money while the women he harassed gain nothing, but please tell me more about how MeToo destroys men’s lives.

[Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director IMF] I said it, and on behalf of the institution: ah, the crisis which is in front of us is a huge crisis.
[Interviewer] Who did you talk to?
[Strauss-Kahn] The government, Treasury, s-, Fed, everybody
[Narrator] In May of 2007, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman circulated a presentation called “Who’s Holding the Bag?”, which described how the bubble would unravel. And in early 2008, Charles Morris published his book about the impending crisis.
Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash
[Frederic Mishkin] You’re just not sure, what do you do? And you, you might have some suspicions that underwriting standards are being weakened but then the question is, should you do anything about it?
[Narrator] By 2008, home foreclosures were skyrocketing, and the securitization food chain imploded. Lenders could no longer sell their loans to the investment banks and as the loans went bad, dozens of lenders failed.
Chuck Prince, of Citibank, famously said that, uh, uh, we have to dance until the music stops. Actually, the music had stopped already when he said that.
[Narrator] The market for CDOs collapsed, leaving the investment banks holding hundreds of billions of dollars in loans, CDOs, and real estate they couldn’t sell.
When the crisis started both the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve were totally behind the curve. They did not understand the extent of it.
[Interviewer] At what point do you remember thinking, for the first time, this is dangerous, this is bad?
I remember very well, uh, one I think it was a G7 meeting, of February 2008. And I remember discussing the issue with, with Hank Paulson. And I clearly remember telling Hank: we are watching this tsunami coming. And you just – proposing that we ask which swimming costume we are going to put on.
[Interviewer] What was his response, what was his feeling?
Things are pretty much under control. Yes, we are looking at, this situation carefully, and uh yeah, it’s under control.
