Benedict, now hear this:

Shut the fuck up, you stupid old man.

You haven't the slightest fucking CLUE what you are talking about, and the ends of your, "new world financial order guided by ethics and the search for the common good," will lead to nothing but increased poverty, servitude and depravity.

Then again, maybe that is what he's really looking for.

And that bit that keeps getting tossed around by the lackey MSM, you know the, "profit-at-all-cost mentality blamed for bringing about the global financial meltdown," is a conflation on an order that few could understand. Hear this now; greed and cook-the-books accounting are NOT the same thing as profiting at legitimate work! Get that through your pointy little fucking heads!

His calls for, "a true world political authority," and, "the most efficient use — not abuse — of natural resources, based on a realization that the notion of 'efficiency' is not value-free," are simply demanding that Big Brother step in to dictate terms to individuals and private companies, taking a cut of the production, in one way or another, slathering the whole with diktat and regulations, the whole agency being propped up by the theft of said production, and it still being expected to produce something of value should be enough for anyone to understand why we shouldn't even be discussing such things. It's been proven, time and again, to not work.

Of course, there are a majority of people these days who wouldn't know that, or ascribe to the philosophy of self interest. Instead, they are "true-believers" of the line of bullshit that this stupid fuck keeps throwing around. Everything has to be done altruistically.

Fuck that noise.

H/T to Billy.
