<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG">Както се вижда
Гърция И България са трагично неспособни да извършат щогоде някакви позитивни
промени на статуквото, да не говорим за системни и дълбоки структурни реформи.
Гърците се гърчат в кризата, поради крещящата икономическа некомпетентност и
глупавата ултра лява идеология. С прости думи – веднъж свикнали с охолния живот
за сметка на работещите повече народи, гърците решиха, че е унизително да си плащат сметките, а националната гордост
изисква кредиторите да им отпишат дълговете, а ЕС да им налива пари, без условия.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG">В България
беззаконието, рекета и бандитизма си процъфтяват, каквото и да си бълнува любимият
премиер. Дори палиативната реформа на правораздаването успешно се блокира от
корумпираното висше съсловие, което се ползва щедро от облагите на статуквото в
прокуратурата и съда.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG">Колкото до
реформата на здравеопазването, като не могат друго да направят, поне да бяха
приватизирали няколко големи софийски болници и да пуснат малко конкуренция
между тях, щеше да има шанс за малко по-добра здравна услуга. Но не, това е
голяма ерес за неграмотното депутатско мнозинство.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG">А тази огромна,
вечно гладна бюрокрация? Няма спасение за малкия бизнес от нея. Електронното
управление едва ли ще се случи скоро, при тези мощни корупционни стимули на
всички управленски нива. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG">Реформаторска
немощ, резултат от невежество и користни интереси – по това България и Гърция
безспорно си приличат. И така едните ще останат бедни, а другите ще обеднеят неизбежно.</span></div>

"Държавата се обезлюдява, ако някой не е разбрал. Старите... остаряват... отиват си, на по-добро или по-лошо място – всеки за каквото е заслужил... Значима част от младите българи изчезват, тръгват си. И то в много ясна посока – там, където през последните 100-200 години в центъра на държавата е била личността и семейството, а не някоя „възвишена“ щуротия. Там, където през последните 100-200 години са правили така, че човекът да има свободата да бъде съзидател и творец, а не как да го спрат да създава и твори в името на туй или онуй, което на някой зелен, червен или кафяв му харесва. След само няколко години, вече ще имаме първите общини, в които има само и единствено природа. Ще липсват хората.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Европа е твърде ислямизирана. Имам преки впечатления от Германия, където броят на емигрантите от Северна Африка постоянно расте. Режимите в Алжир, Мароко и Тунис, според една позната алжирка, не са толкова мракобесни, колкото в Иран. Дори тя твърди, че в Алжир има демокрация. Мюсулманите търсят работа като всички други. Икономическите причини, обаче, не са единствения стимул за тези хора да напуснат родината си. Те откровено се радват на липсата на всякакви забрани и ограничения за хората в Германия да бъдат такива, каквито са. Разбира се законите и правилата трябва да се спазват.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Когато стане дума за радикалния ислям, обаче, тези хора, които като правило слабо образовани, веднага започват да оправдават джихада с политиката на САЩ и Израел. Далеч съм от мисълта, че САЩ са невинни, но варваризацията на радикалния ислям има много по-сложни причини и те са в самата нея.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Мюсулманите се ползват от възможностите за работа и свободен живот в Германия. но с малки изключения, почти не се интегрират в обществото. Живеят в относително затворени общности от съграждани, а ислямът за тях е начин на живот.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Така че, не съм сигурна какво точно означава мултикултурно общество. Толерантността към чуждите култури от страна на германците е безспорно постижение, но изглежда все по-странно на фона на засилващата се ислямска агресия. Не смятам, че това състояние е стабилно,</div>

Кои ли му вярва на Путин за "разкриването" на убийството на Борис Немцов. Послушни чеченщи го били убили и то, заради антиислямистки изказвания! Глупости!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<i>Преречатвам този пост на Чарлс Хю Смит.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>When the citizenry cease to believe the lies, the nation suffers a nervous breakdown.</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b>Last week I used the phrase <i>National Nervous Breakdown</i> without clarifying its meaning.</b> <a href="http://www.oftwominds.com/blogjan15/war-intuition1-15.html" target="resource">(The War on Our Intuition That Something Is Fundamentally Amiss</a>)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
By <i>National Nervous Breakdown</i> I do not mean the breakdown of civil order or the economy; I mean the <i>breakdown of the officially sanctioned narratives that underpin the Status Quo</i>. These Master Narratives legitimize the current arrangement; once they erode or break down, the legitimacy of the Status Quo is lost.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
The shell remains in place, but nobody believes the system is a fair, just meritocracy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b><br />1. No accountability for abuse of power.</b> The core narrative is <i>no one is above the law</i>, which means not only that everyone is supposedly treated equally before the law, but that abuses of power are punished or limited.<b>Let's consider the erosion or breakdown of these master narratives.</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
Now that police departments are essentially stealing from private citizens without due process via <i>civil forfeiture</i>, it's clear there is no accountability for abuses of power.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
This is simply one example of many in which blatant abuse of power is sanctioned by the Status Quo, and there is little recourse for citizens who have been abused unless they are wealthy enough to fund a high-powered legal team.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b>In effect, our legal system is broken.</b> This mirrors the erosion and breakdown of accountability in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when abuse of power was rampant and there was little recourse for the citizenry.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b>2. Though U.S. foreign policy is guided by <i>realpolitik</i>, it is fundamentally based on the high moral ground of defending liberty, democracy and civil liberties.</b> Wars of choice that squandered American lives, treasure and credibility and the use of torture for dubious gains have demolished the credibility and legitimacy of U.S. foreign policy--once again, mirroring the delegitimizing result of the Vietnam War and all the official lies that were issued to mask that war's true costs and failures.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b>3. The manipulation of official data to mask the reality that the U.S. economy now operates to benefit the few at the expense of the many</b>--crony capitalism writ large. Vested interests control the political and financial machinery to expand their share of the national income and power.<br />
Meanwhile, the income and wealth of the vast majority of citizens stagnates.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b>4. The middle-class roadmap to financial security--earning a college degree and working hard for a corporate employer--is broken.</b> A college degree leads to debt-serfdom in the form of crushing student loans, but the education gained has little value in the emerging economy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
In the corporate world, loyalty has been reduced to a facade of rah-rah PR that masks a culture of insecurity.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b>5. The government at all levels--local, state and federal--responds to any questioning of its authority or abuse of power with increasing over-reach and violence.</b> There are so many examples of this, it's difficult to know where to start: the federal government's war on truthtellers regarding domestic spying abuses, and the state of California's blatantly unconstitutional confiscation of taxpayer bank accounts with zero due process--the mere suspicion that income hasn't been fully reported in california is sufficient grounds for the theft of citizens' money by the state.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<a href="http://www.oftwominds.com/blogmar12/taxpayers-as-criminals3-12.html" target="resource">Welcome to the United States of Orwell, Part 2: Law-Abiding Taxpayers Are Treated as Criminals While the Real Criminals Go Free</a> (March 27, 2012)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
<b>When the master narratives have broken down, legitimacy is lost.</b> What's left is authority without accountability or recourse and abuse of power without limits.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">
When the citizenry cease to believe the lies, the nation suffers a nervous breakdown. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Myriad; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Все отвън говорят за българската корупция. Говорят чужди дипломати, като дипломатическият език все пак дава представа за корупционния дизастаър на тази територия, където държавата я няма, или по-точно - има я, но е заета само с грижата за себе си. Българите незнайно защо плащат данъци. Публичните услуги - здраве, обучение, лична сигурност, неприкосновеност на частната собственост са толкова трудно достъпни на някакво прилично качество, че гражданите нямат избор. Само един път има - в чужбина.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Myriad; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">От бългаските политици не се чува една дума за корупцита, та как ли да се очакват някакви действия от тях срещу нея. Те дори не знаят как, те самите са символ на корупцията. Няма сделка без рекет от страна на администрацията в тази бедна и все по-бедна страна.</span><br />

Дали прокуратурата, съда, полицията, или мутризираните общински администрации в морските общини? Сложен въпрос. Та те всички са си държавички в кухата държава. Мафиотски държавички с техните правила и закони, които решават кой да работи и кой не, но всички трябва да им плащат рекета - с пари, с имоти и така.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Myriad; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Myriad; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Политиците дирижират всичко това, обаче нагло и лицемерно се чудят как така магистратите не искат да си реформират системата. Те не им пречат и не са ги оплели във всевъзможни зависимости, нали. А на магистратите така им е комфортно и доходно.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: Myriad; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Myriad;"><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-size: 14.3999996185303px; line-height: 14px;">Може да приемат България в Шенген - и на еврократите им омръзна, но докато институциите са парализирани от корупцията, просперитетът все ще се отлага. Вече сме по-бедни не само от румънците, но и от хърватите.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Myriad;"><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-size: 14.3999996185303px; line-height: 14px;">България е банановата република на Европа, но без бананите.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">The sale of “Gazing Ball (Charity)” followed last week’s tally of $673 million for Impressionist and modern art sold at Manhattan auctions, setting the stage for a potential record season if high prices continue this week.</em></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">“I’m long-term bullish on the art market,” Rajiv Chaudhri, president of Sunsara Capital LLC in New York and an art collector, said at the event at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York. “Prices will keep moving up. There is still so much private wealth being created. Art is the ultimate asset.”</em></div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Chaudhri is wrong about several things…</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, private wealth is not being created; it is being fabricated by central banks.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Second, art is not the ultimate asset but probably a poor and unreliable one.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And third, the art market is not going up the way he imagines. When the money drains away, the aficionados will be punished: They’ll be stuck with their purchases.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">Oceans of Liquidity</strong></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still, Mr. Chaudhri is right about one thing: There’s a lot of money around.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, rich people have gotten a lot richer in the last few years. The top 1% now own 35% of America’s wealth. The bottom 80% owns only 11% of it.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Where did all this money come from?</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We’ve seen estimates for the effect of QE on the balance sheets of the country’s asset holders. Over the last five years QE has added between $2.5 trillion… to as high as $9 trillion. Now, with so much loose change in their pockets, the rich can bid for Jeff Koons’ confections, Manhattan condos, or whatever they want.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But that still leaves the question: Where does the money come from?</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You already know the answer: from the central banks. And you know where they got it: from nowhere.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Central banks have created oceans of liquidity. Like water, it had to go somewhere. In the event, it went into stocks, real estate, art… and many other things. And now that the QE program is officially on “pause” in the US, the Japanese and the Europeans are taking over.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">Trendsetters</strong></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“ECB council backs €1 trillion euro-zone rescue,” was the headline in the <em style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">Financial Times</em> as last week came to a close.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Mario Draghi has secured unanimous support from the European Central Bank’s governing council to inject €1 trillion to rescue the Eurozone economy from stagnation,” continues the report.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that comes on the heels of remarkable reports from Japan. The Bank of Japan has a new governor, Haruhiko Kuroda. Apparently, he is even more reckless and retarded than Prime Minister Shinzō Abe.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kuroda has upped the central banks asset buying to ¥80 trillion ($700 billion) a year. And part of the deal includes direct purchases of Japanese REITs and ETFs. As the Real Time Economics blog reports:</div>
</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border-left-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; margin: 5px 0px 1em; padding-left: 36px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">In addition to bonds, the BoJ is investing heavily in private assets [...] by buying stocks in the form of exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, and real estate through Japan real estate investment trusts, or J-REITs. Those assets had been in the mix before, but will be tripled. The figures are small compared to the JGB purchases – ¥3 trillion for ETFs, ¥90 billion for J-REITs – but can have a big influence on markets.</em></div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Hey… you want a wealth effect? I’ll give you a wealth effect!”</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Japanese are the trendsetters – at least in the world of suicidal financial policies. So, it probably won’t be long before the Fed gets back into the money-printing business.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most likely, it’ll wait for the stock market to crack. Then it, too, could begin buying stocks directly.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The US stock market will fall because there is less and less fabricated money holding it up. The $3.6 trillion in QE helped push up the S&P 500 by 200% since its crisis low on March 9, 2009.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But QE is, as we said, now on “pause.” And the money-printing operations in Japan and Europe will probably not leak fast enough into the US to keep the water level high. Instead, liquidity will drain away – gradually… and then suddenly.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">The Other “QE”</strong></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only has QE stopped, but so has the big boost that the US used to get from its trade deficits. At its peak, America’s current account deficit reached $800 billion. That money – largely credit-financed – went out of the US to buy foreign-made goods.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To stop their currencies from appreciating versus the dollar, foreign central banks – particularly the People’s Bank of China – had to print local currency to buy these dollars. They then reinvest these dollars back in the US. This was like QE before there was QE, says our friend Richard Duncan.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The US got a flood of liquidity from overseas money-printers. This is what helped inflate the stock market bubble of 1999 and then the housing and financial bubble of 2008.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But that’s gone too.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The current account deficit is only about half of what it once was. And as America’s oil industry coaxes more and more crude from the ground, there will be fewer US dollars headed overseas to buy energy and a lower current account deficit as a result.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.4545450210571px; line-height: 23.0113639831543px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This will mean less buying of US assets by the foreigners… and “excess liquidity” to float asset prices. The energy boom will not buoy up asset prices; it will help sink them. <em style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">By Bill Bonner, Chairman, </em><a href="http://bonnerandpartners.com/commit-financial-suicide-money/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0009c4; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><em style="box-sizing: border-box; word-wrap: break-word;">Bonner & Partners</em></a>.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Jura, sans-serif; font-size: 16.6666679382324px; text-align: justify;">"Правителство с Борисов начело е трудна задача. Борисов иска цялата власт, а не част от нея. Идеята да я дели с учениците на Костов, като бъде обвързан с коалиционно споразумение, е наивна. Редукцията на Борисов е мисия невъзможна, това трябва да е ясно. Борисов е непоправимо съвършен, идеята да бъде преправян е кощунство. ГЕРБ с Борисов начело е окупационна сила, триумфалистки проект. Властта му е или тотална, или скандално отнета. Делима харизматична власт не съществува. Проблемът е, че му се радват. Това е проблемът. Проблем на проблемите. Културен проблем."</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
След днешните отново манипулирани и затова нечестни избори /мъртви души, контролиран и купен вот/, победителят Борисов е много сърдит, че народът не му е дал пълно мнозинсво и е пратил в парламента няколко партийки, които са също толкова популистки колкото и ГЕРБ, но без всепокоряваща простовато- просташка харизма на лидера им.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Все пак сигурно ще скалъпят някакво правителство, защото желаещите да получат власт са много. Нагласили са се отдавна как ще се погрижат за себе си и своите верни слуги. Компромисите ще са големи и нечисти.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Затова няма да станат реформите, наивно е да си мисли дори за тях. Най-важната съдебна реформа няма отново дори да се появи в далечината. А без тази реформа институциите в държавата ще си останат все толкова хищни и вредни за гражданите и бизнеса.</div>

Безполезни избори и ..... нищо сега.</div>

Айнщайн е казал: "Образованието не е изучаването на факти, а обучението на ума да мисли." Но държавните училища са по-заинтересовани да ни превърнат в послушни безпилотни самолети ... и така убиват радостта ни от живота.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
You see a much older gentleman and a young attractive lady. What's going on? The stereotype is that he probably has money. What about women with money? Well, <a class="ext" href="http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/CollegeAndFamily/LoveAndMoney/MoreMoneyBetterSex.aspx" style="color: #333333;" target="_blank">a survey reported</a><span class="ext" style="background: url(http://assets.sussexpublishers.netdna-cdn.com/sites/all/modules/contrib/extlink/extlink.png) 100% 50% no-repeat; padding-right: 12px;"></span> that wealthy women say that they have more exciting and daring sex lives - and they say it's all because of the money! Why is money an aphrodisiac?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Power</strong>. Money is associated with power and prestige. This is particularly important for men. Many studies show that the top quality that makes a woman sexy is physical attractiveness, while for men it is money. Some of this may have evolutionary roots, as money indicates that a man is a good provider, but all in all, there's something sexy about all that money and power.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Money provides freedom</strong>. A famous, attractive actress struggled financially for years in minor film roles before she achieved fame on a long-running TV show. When asked how her life was different, she said, "The money has given me more freedom." The survey responses from wealthy women suggested that they had better sex lives because they could afford to travel to exotic places and because they had more free time. For example, 72% of the wealthy women said they were members of the Mile High Club - of course, most owned their own planes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="font-size: 14.2857141494751px;"><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="font-size: 14.2857141494751px;">Reward power.</strong><span style="font-size: 14.2857141494751px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.2857141494751px;">Maybe the song is right that "money can't buy you love," but it can certainly buy sex, and lots of other things. Why is an expensive sports car sexy? Well maybe it's partly due to the speed, the curvy design, but the fact that it costs a lot makes the driver suddenly more sexy.</span><span style="font-size: 14.2857141494751px;">It is clear that money is a very powerful symbol in our culture. Want to get sexy overnight? Win the lottery.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Пак идват избори. Българските политици, до болка вече познати и станали вкупом непотребни, са в истеричен напън да грабнат отново властта. Властта в тази обрулена, фалирала държава е толкова желана, че чак ръцете на какдидатите за нея треперят, логореята ги е обсебила, нищо, че са потънали до шия в смовлюбената си глупост.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
И този напън "сигурно" се дължи на неистовото им желание да служат на народа. Този прост народец едва ли сериозно си мисли, че някой толкова напира да го спаси от бедността, престъпността, корупцията и така нататък, но нейсе - ще си изпълни дълга към партиите, които си е харесал от край време.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
За българските политици са напълно валидни думите на <a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Karl_Rove">Карл Роув</a>: "Всички политици действат в рамките на Оруеловото сияние, където думите не означават това, което обикновено означават, но Ровизмът постулира, че не съществува обективна, доказуема реалност изобщо. Реалността е това, което казваш, че е..."</div>

при тях няма очаквания. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Ние всички постоянно сме жертва на
своите очаквания и трябва да се справяме с толкова много малки и големи разочарования.
Очакванията имат свойството доста бързо да се превръщат в реалност само в нашите глави, след което суровата
действителност ни прави недоволни, нещастни и депресирани. Психолозите и не
само те предлагат все по-нови рецепти за справяне с разочарованията, но явно те
и очакванията са голяма част от живота на хората. </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Всеки ден желанията и мечтите ни се трансформират в очаквания, мотивация,
цели и действия, които в различна степен
се разминават с действителността. Така
ние водим безброй предварително обречени битки, но дори съвсем не е сигурно,
че ще си направим полезната реалистична
равносметка от пораженията си. Една от най - неблагодарните битки, е тази за
привеждане характерите на децата ни в съответствие с нашите очаквания към тях.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Като че ли не знаем, че реалността е феномен, толкова сложен и комплексен,
че не е в нашите възможности да я моделираме. Е, разбира се, между нас има единични
изключения – Стив Джобс, за други не
мога да се сетя. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Социума кипи от амбиции и в това няма нищо лошо. Модерният свят е пълен с възможности за амбициозните хора.
Но почти всеки мисли, че е специален, едва ли не – избран и също почти всеки
мисли, че тревата на съседа е по-зелена.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Просто ние, хората, си имаме толкова много ограничения, за да може да
оценяваме относително коректно реалните
ситуации и това, което ни се случва. Но затова пък всеки като че ли е сигурен, че собствената
му интерпретация на събитията е единствено правилната.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Майкъл Фарадей казва, че хората
търсят такива данни и явления, които да подкрепят техните желания /и очаквания/
и в същото време пренебрегват други, които им противоречат, въпреки че всички
признаци на здравия разум повеляват точно обратното. </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Та</span><span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">кава</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> нагласа </span><span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;"> безспорно </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">може

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Защо става така? Мисля, че проблемът с нереалистичните очаквания не е само психологически. Защо сме склонни да се
самозалъгваме и да вярваме в измислици? Може би
глобалните проблеми в
разпространението на знанието и асиметричността на информация имат не малка заслуга за това. Защото
образованието куца, невежеството и още повече - невежеството за науката са все
така големи. Афинитетът към лесни победи и прости обяснения стимулира настъплеието
на квазинауката от една страна и разцвета на позитивните илюзии и на теориите за магическата сила на положителното
мислене, от друга. Няма място за критическо мислене, реализъм и скептицизъм. Карл
Сейгън, /Свят, населен с демони/ казва с основание, че скептецизмът не се
продава успешно, въпреки че недоверието към твърденията на авторитетите е свещена заповед на науката.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Мисля, че в бизнеса също е необходима доза здрав скептицизъм в пълната с
оптимизъм чаша, защото разочарованията там са особено болезнени и са свързани с големи загуби. Очакванията за поведението
на пазарите и за успехите на инвестиционните решения, винаги изискват много
труд, напрежение и стрес. Защото ние можем да контролираме нещата, които са в нашите дейности и отговорност, но</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> често </span><span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">нямаме</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> контрол върху процеса</span><span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">, където се

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;"><span lang="BG">Може да се съгласим с
психолозите, че разочарованията са полезни за изграждане на характера, т. Е – за
по-лекото понасяне на следващите разочарования. Свиква се и с разочарованията. За
промяна на модела на глупостта, обаче, това не помага.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="BG" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: BG;">Също така, добре е, че всеки отделен човек, в съответствие със своите индивидуални
физически, емоционални и интелектуални възможности, инвестира време, усилия,
труд и пр. в постигане на очаквания резултат. Пък и много хора знаят, че когато
е вложен много труд, позитивен резултат почти винаги има. Този резултат често дори
може да не е очаквания, а да бъде съвсем неочакван. Няма лошо. </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Much has been written about the dysfunction in Washington D.C.</b> Pundits have been wringing their hands for years over the rise of bitter partisan politics and the resulting gridlock. The impact of this--what I have termed <i>profound political disunity</i>--extends beyond the narrow confines of domestic politics, a reality reflected in <i>Foreign Affairs</i> new survey of our winter of political discontent, <a href="http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/141761/gideon-rose-and-jonathan-tepperman/dysfunction-junction" target="resource">Dysfunction Junction</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>But all these discussions of our dysfunctional politics ignore the larger truth, which is the entire model of the Status Quo is broken.</b> Even if reformers succeeded in ridding the political system of cronyism and favors-for-campaign-contributions--two essentially impossible reforms, given the legalistic cover provided for cronyism and <i>bought and paid for</i> representatives, the basic model of "how the world works" that dominates the world-view of leaders across the political spectrum would remain broken.</div>
