Disturbing...

A good friend of this blog emails a link to Pravda. We haven't linked there in a while (ever?) but Stanislav Mishin sounds like a ThreeSourcer as he takes a victory lap in American capitalism gone with a whimper.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

If you read the whole thing, you will see that Mishin goes well over the top on a few points, which cuts his credibility. You will be compensated, however, with the most interesting collection of banner ads -- think "Weekly World News" meets "Jugs!"

Beyond the hyperbole, some of his lines hit home pretty hard. He ends with a warning to Russian Capital:

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker
