Apathy in the ..camp UK.
In Man's Search for Meaning, in Wikipedia. Viktor Frankl's 1946 book.
Frankl identifies three psychological reactions experienced by all inmates to one degree or another:
(1) shock during the initial admission phase to the camp,
(2) apathy after becoming accustomed to camp existence, in which the inmate values only that which helps himself and his friends survive, and
(3) reactions of depersonalization, moral deformity, bitterness, and disillusionment if he survives and is liberated.
.. 'apathy after becoming accustomed to camp existence, in which the inmate values only that which helps himself and his friends survive,' ..
.. apathy .. in the camp .. UK .. camp existence .. UK existence .. inmate values .. ..'only that which helps himself and his friends survive' ..
.. inmate .. the citizen .. now refered to .. as client .. by Councils .. local government .. driven to value what helps self\family\friends .. to survive ..
.. citizen-client values what renders .. that survival possible .. money .. above all else ..
.. apathy .. engineered within the psyche .. of the client-citizen .. for a reason ..
.. to isolate .. selves .. from one another .. it is a lot easier .. to deal with ..
.. since .. apathy .. leads to .. 'reactions of depersonalization, moral deformity, bitterness, and disillusionment if he survives' ..
even if .. the citizen-client .. survives .. which is not guaranteed ..
.. it would still be .. morally deformed .. bitter .. disillusioned .. citizen-client ..
.. a lazy hunter's dream prey .. it makes governing .. a doddle

Corporations lay claim for the internet? Whose internet lay claim upon?

Leaders, a lurking danger to humanity. Saif Gaddafi points the way.
.. under a new constitution that would reduce his father's role to a symbolic one, ..
even if .. one accept this statement .. as evidence .. that Gaddafi's role
.. is anything other than symbolic .. as they endlessly .. have insisted upon ..
can Gaddafi be .. even more symbolic ... than .. he already is ..
Saif Gaddafi .. has created .. a bubble .. and within it .. hides .. cowers .. feels secure .. totally isolated ..
one person .. two .. three .. more .. huddle together .. support each other .. feed one another .. back and forth
the feedback .. from one another .. excruciating .. pounds their ears .. their senses ..numbs their minds ..
its walls .. a lense .. that distorts .. warps .. changes its surroundings .. unable to see clear ..
shelling of Misrata .. the city destroyed ..killings of people .. civilian .. rebel ..no difference ..
and all that he sees .. terrorists .. armed militia .. al Qaeda operatives
"Once we get rid of them, everything will be solved." .. what tragedy that statement foresees ..
get rid of them? .. the terrorists .. armed militia ... al Qaeda .. .. like the scum they are .. what is in his mind ..
get rid of them? .. the civilians .. the peaceful people turned rebels .. women and chldren .. scum? .. what most of the world sees ..
their lives .. their cities .. all hanging .. from the images .. in the minds .. of the bubble-inhabitants Saif .. Muammar .. his family ...
that the rest of the world .. should heed .. respect and obey .. the uttering .. of their mouths ..
the delusions .. that .. mind-numbing .. self-imposed isolation .. since born .. has fostered and propagated ..
in Gaddafi .. and his sons .. and all his family
that is the system for you .. the world over .. the god-given leaders .. sent upon earth .. destined to abuse humanity ..
their bubble .. the film so thin .. will eventually burst ..and empty its contents .. all that is .. would be amply revealed .. to Saif .. Muammar ..
is so numbingly insane .. drives one mad .. when people manage to gain, given podium .. channels to communicate .. given a licence and torture the minds of
other people .. whoever hears, sees them .. I would say .. exhilarating .. when finally .. they see what is .. as is ..

China, low per capita income suits and defines its growth rates.
Is China overtaking America?
"Moreover, linear projections of economic growth trends can be misleading. Emerging countries tend to benefit from imported technologies in the early stages of economic takeoff, but their growth rates generally slow as they reach higher levels of development."
.. linear projections of economic growth trends can be misleading .. why use them then .. is the 'misleading' term .. not an incentive enough .. to curb its use .. platforms .. stages .. linear projections .. from stage to stage .. from platform to platform .. an approach if not essential .. at least practical .. but in essence non-linear
what would be the criteria .. to recognise a platform .. and upon it establish .. any projections ..
.. an analysis of the ever-evolving states .. economies along with other factors .. accompanied ..
recognising platforms .. in the past .. and recognizing platforms .. in the future ..
"In 1800, Asia represented more than half of global population and output. By 1900, it represented only 20 per cent of world output – not because something bad happened in Asia, but rather because the Industrial Revolution had transformed Europe and North America into the world's workshop."
In 1800, half .. in 1900 .. 20% .. Asia continued along the same lines ..along the same lines .. from 1800 to 1900 .. growing with the same parameters .. whereas .. Europe and North America entered the stage of Industrial Revolution .. their growth parameters changed .. became more productive .. growing faster .. reducing Asia's share .. of global population and output ..
"But, even if overall Chinese GDP reaches parity with that of the US in the 2020s, the two economies will not be equal in composition."
how can this be explained .. as both economies projections are only linear .. matching each other .. China's growth rate .. running faster than the US .. equal each other .. in what ever terms this equality is taken .. but the non-equality in composition ..is not achieved
composition ..what defines the state .. for both economies .. and therefore .. the platforms .. the stages .. the two countries are .. upon which any future projections of economic growth .. should be based upon ..
chinese government .. have squeezed every ounce .. that the chinese people had to offer .. without putting back at all .. or very little .. for the people to grow
China can not continue .. with the same parameters .. for ever .. it has to change its parameters .. to create the next stage .. the platform upon which .. any future projections should be based upon .. it has to emulate US in that matter .. one reason China sustains such high growth rates .. it is because of cheap labour .. the low per capita income .. hence the need for having an oppressive regime .. and constantly living under the fear of people revolting against the communist party .. such a state of affairs is unsustainable
.. from the other point it raises doubts .. as to the quality of the growth .. China is endowed with .. whether .. such high rates of growth .. can be sustained after a government or people induced, rise of the per capita income .. as any such rise would have an effect .. on the competitiveness of China's products ..
can China afford .. a rise in per capita income .. the higher spending for military purposes .. along with what is allocated for security indicates that is not .. security because of fear of uprisings .. a result of ruling party continuing to favour a policy of low incomes ..
"Unlike India, which was born with a democratic constitution, China has not yet found a way to channel the demands for political participation (if not democracy) that tend to accompany rising per capita income."

World Bank foresees Middle East North Africa autocrats demise and prepares to embrace the new states emerging. Setting up traps.

Capitalism ..is un-natural. Banks, financials owe their existence to.

"The big banks will claim that putting their retail banks into subsidiaries would impose significant extra costs on them - because it would force them to raise and retain more capital (which is expensive), and it would increase what they pay to borrow. Their fear is that these incremental costs would put them at a disadvantage compared with their international competitors."
"Perhaps more importantly, the Commission is convinced that the social benefits of the reform - in respect of reducing the likelihood of destabilizing financial shocks that increase unemployment and cut growth - would significantly outweigh the costs."
cut growth? .. do they actually hint .. on real growth .. growth that matters .. not paper-growth .. that banks and financials .. create by the tonne .. only to siphon it .. directly .. via bonuses .. into their pockets
"The Commission has also taken steps to reassure the government that it doesn't have a great deal to fear from getting tough with the banks and implementing the change: on its analysis, even if big banks such as HSBC or Barclay's were to move their respective head offices abroad in protest at the reforms, the loss of tax revenue and the damage to the success of the City of London would be limited."

"On Friday, some soldiers joined the protests in a direct challenge to Egypt's military rulers. For long intervals, they took to one of the stages erected in the crowded square and called for the country's military rulers to be replaced."
"Earlier this week, several military officers took to the internet, recording video statements accusing the chairman of the ruling council, Field Marshal Mohammed Tantawi, of protecting Mubarak from prosecution and of leading a counterrevolutionary movement."
.. now you are talking .. it is a disgrace .. a slap in the face of the human individual .. armies, police .. at the hands .. at the mercy .. of abusers of power .. given to them by people .. and what do they do .. they use them against the people ..
the most inane drawback ... humanity suffers from ..
military personnel aserting themselves .. identifying with their roots .. their personality traits prevailing in the execution of orders .. not a robotic 'arm' .. to do as their commanding officers dictate .. 'blind' instruments of war .. a trend that started .. in America itself .. if I am not mistaken ..

Talking therapies? Government at its best, to combat the 'cancer' of money with what amounts to aspirins.
"The rise has happened at a time when the government has been increasing access to talking therapies, which should in theory curb the demand for anti-depressants."
BBC News - Money woes 'linked to rise in depression'
talking therapies? .. what a nosense .. government .. does its best .. to combat the 'cancer' of money .. with ..what amounts to aspirins ..
not even aspirins
people .. are .. so .. so .. so ..thankful .. that government .. has consented to increase access .. to so much needed .. therapies
and in the meantime .. gives unprecedent liberties .. to bailifs, sheriffs .. to recover assumed debts by Councils, factors .. name it
government .. hot in the heels .. of all its citizens .. to recover mountains of lost funds .. banks woes left behind ..
.. assisted with a fines galore .. fine culture at its best .. by all the state's operatives .. traffic wardens, traffic police .. a hoard of hard-working agents ..
.. out to get the revenues .. Councils, government .. requires .. to balance .. what it can not be balanced ..
.. the spending cuts .. the scrapping of people's jobs .. are not enough ..
a debt collecting boom .. public and private .. growth unprecented .. all aimed .. at making money .. out of the misery .. of individuals ..
.. make their hapless victims-citizens .. pay dearly
as whatever they owe (is owed) .. is not enough .. to create .. profits and revenues ..
inventing additional charges .. to make even harder to pay back what is owed
assisted by a legislation .. demanding fees .. for even filing an application for bankcruptcy .. you need to pay .. to get bankcrupt
charges that amount .. to a sizable fraction .. to what is owed .. increasing the debt burden .. shoving one deeper ..into debt ..
debt lawyers, firms and all the mob involved .. the saviours .. turned executioners .. to finish the job .. for good ..
to squeeze every penny
the money given ..so generously to the banks .. to bail them out .. need to be recovered .. to the last penny ..
talking therapies .. what provide a sanctuary .. from the deluge that money has created .. massive bailouts to banks .. generous as it can ever be ..
individuals it's absurd to think .. that government can ever be .. as generous to its citizens as they were .. to the banks
the debts that governments went into .. to protect its precious banks .. its imperative to be paid .. by what ever means possible .. by its delinquent citizens
.. the folly .. to consider .. to be treated with the same standards .. that governments used .. to tackle .. banks' debts ..
