I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have...."<br /><br />“I don’t listen to Washington very much, which is something they’re not thrilled about,” Mayor Bloomberg said.<br /><br />http://www.politickerny.com/2011/11/30/mayor-bloomberg-i-have-my-own-army-11-30-11/<br /><br />If you watch what he has been doing for the past decasde it is clear that Bloomberg believes not in democracy but in an oligrachy. But it may be is undoing in that he has become one of the more arrogant of the ultra wealthy. Like the ultra wealthy (and drug lords) around the world, they perpetrate (class) warfare but dare name label there actions as such. Lke the rest of the oligarchists he is preparing for the eventual reality of class warfare. At the same time people like Bloomberg piously voice that the citizens should be banned from arming themselves. This is all about dis-empowerment of the public and the empowerment of the oligarchy.Leonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-20112982161717191962011-12-23T22:24:05.109-05:002011-12-23T22:24:05.109-05:00I'll take care of them.I'll take care of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
