TIME writing Nonsense about "The Decade from Hell"
TIME has written about the Decade from 2000 to 2009 with much care and truthfulness. Whatever they have written about 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, derivative junk at Wall Street, New Orleans disaster, the huge deficits and State indebtedness of USA, the crimes with lowering taxes and giving all liberties to crooks in the financial business, about the natural catastrophes like the Tsunami in 2004, world economy crash, rotten U.S. and other infrastructure requiring trillions in Dollars to make them function and being repaired, and bad ecologic situation of climate and future prospects are true and very well written: Much better than I could ever have done in my poor English of a foreigner.
However, the comments about the NEXT Decade from 2010 to 2019, supposed to be a master-piece of freedom, orderliness, fine feelings, less terror, more good arrangements with bankers, excellent role of the hegemonial Army of USA in the world - allow me, this was the most stupid comment ever read in a Newspaper.
How the coming Decade can be better than the foregoing - under these circumstances?
1. China is on the edge of crashing with an immense bubble. And so will many others too, in front of the race - USA.
2. USA can never pay for the trillions in outstanding U.S. Treasury bonds. Who would double-finance a State with lowered taxes for the rich scrap in tax-free area and sharp reduced income for middle class?
3. All Banks, Hedge funds, insurance, investments funds etc. throughout the world hold 50 trillion Dollars in form of derivatives, in their balance sheets. That trash should be restated near Zero. If done so, banks are PLEITE all over the lands.
4. Unemployment goes up and up and there is not means to stop it. The SPIRAL of unemployment, lessening consumerism, breakdown of factories, of banks and services may go on and restart the spiral anew. 'Too big to fail' was no good idea for banks and nations.
5. Resources are getting out and become always more expensive, finally becoming priceless. Same goes soon for oil and gas and any other material or energy. What offer politicians instead? Their re-election as skunks of power, with little brains and ethics.
6. The ecologic situation gets complete out of any control and therefore, the problems with water, air, weather, dryness, water-floods and storms, heating up climate and lifting oceans, will increase beyond any imagination.
7. The natural catastrophes will come like from 2001 to 2009, only stronger. Due to influence of ecologic collapse and exploded population, draft to mega-towns, the disastrous effects risk to be multiplied from Decade to Decade in future.
8. The problems with all sorts of criminality, due to exploding poverty - plus stealing culture and credit-card accounts in the Internet, dismay will explode to the extent, folks will dictate the net to be closed for all times, sooner or later.
9. Science got to a technological standard, where it goes out of any control. For soft corrections, it's far too late, the given infrastructure will guarantee collapses to come, because any growth in economy, in production, more of air flights and more of cars, will again destroy the future of all generations to come.
10. Politics of Obama, Putin, Sarkozy, Hu and Wen and Singh and Berlusconi and Merkel are without any knowledge in accounting and mathematics. VIPs and their curbed consultants are blind in view of future developments and therefore stupid to the max.
All has become GW Bush - nothing is intellectually valid, nothing above his level.
Therefore, we could mention some other 99 points, why only little matters will improve in the near future after 2010 - and all developments will get a deteriorating path, due to normal human short-sightedness and usual crimes committed by economists, politicians, scientists and philosophers, as during the last 200 years.
In short: Without a sharp reduction in view of explosion of population, explosion of finances, explosion of stupidity, explosion a ecologic collapses to come, explosion of criminality, wars, terror and ecologic downfall, this humanity is lost for all times.
Not one word of all this was written by some famous writers, when TIME was telling fairy-tales of the finest. Help - what a useless newspaper! And considering, how other media, most coming out of America, are just on the some level of lowest intellect, there is zero hope, the next Decade will be better and more hopeful than the past one.
The contrary is true and most disasters to happen are very easily and clearly predictable - and any child could have known, afterwards.
But as long as Obamas, victim of GW Bush and marching in that idiots footsteps, like many other blind mice in politics, together with their Dynamite Prize Holders, without clear sight and average intellect, you can forget hope and stupid newspapers.
We are governed by bluffers with weak senses for reality and low profile in accounting skills. Therefore, there is little hope for betterment of procedures.
Final Hell will have come to Humanity - and here TIME is right, before reaching the year 2100.
