I am having a difficult time keeping pace…i am working on a Remittance Paper, focusing on the Philippines when the very notion of remittance,
the concept of one countries labor force,
being exploited, in the wage system,
as a communist, is not something i support
and do not want to waste my time reforming
which my NGO wishes
(capitalism) does notequalize the north__south divide
and in fact institutionalizes it.
Opposing the fees for transporting the money
is like fighting slavery with a union
fair wage and workers co-ops, take back them means
A worker From the Philippines is paid ten dollars/units per hour.
The question is one of units as they can be interfaced
but time is still no match for technology
which promises surprising immortality…
brought forward as a trend a thousand years from now…
technology is linear and in fact has a certain delineation…
the narrative
that which made us great
manipulating symbols
has simply made us
mediocre.
the Philippines
as the best option
feels like a death watch…
hiring poor people…
is noormmal
neo capitalism advanced as
The End of History 1989
was well read
nothing grows forever i whine
Hegel's notion of a thesis was accurate
Popper and Schopenhauer were right.
the strange existence i find myself in now…
immersed in words and writing…symbols again …
the arts as a whole are nothing better than shit wipe…
*******
it will get hotter before it gets worse
and the dark night of the soul can attest
to this value but economically the working man
since 1980 has steadily seen his ranks depleted…
his jobs exported
Marx shouldn’t have tipped them off
agency for a revolution my ass…
the capitalist cut’em off at the knees
and the working man is
in the service industry and crime
mostly, mostly unorganized
witch hunt…
unions are seen
as a relic of the past
and no longer needed…
there is no class structure
no racism, no sexism, no bigotry
everything is fine
along comes the tea party
surely now or in the near future
change will transpire quickly
when the young people
get more educated
***********
rehabilitate the planet by leaving
her alone for a generation or two
she’ll be fine…
contrary to science
who for the most part
have been bought off
the planet fine and
environmentalism
is a diversion.
and a symptom
in that strange
beautiful
logic
A Vow of Poverty
us rich
no very little
of the constant
grind
which really
ain’t so bad
and the choice
of many holy men.
met one the other night
stooped from Tibet
with jaundiced eyes
999999999
religion
“Money is the Root of all Evil.”
The new agers
say this is not spiritual
as do the Evangelists
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Poor people from other countries
are being used to undermine
local people, who’s standard of living
requires a higher wage,
the farm workers in BC get
$9.28 an hour which drives down the
market price of labor…
jobs are available but Canadian people
do not feel an hour of boring hard work
is worth ten bucks, not from zero
but from welfare…
colonized countries citizen work cheap
the aid industry
cries otherwise,
no statistical advantage
in reducing poverty
“the Filipina” in global terms
are lower middle class,
they are not
the poorest of the poor…
America has
exploited them continuously
since 1898
now the aid industry
led by the Americans
is saying lets lower the fees
for the remittances
you have bad milk in the fridge
lets get rid of the smell
so we can have a drink
workers organize
at a government level…
ties will be broken with the USA
US will shout terrorist
sanction and
cut off trade routes
…
plum jobs in developing countries
now you have to work the farm…
which almost no one wants to do now…
as that is a constant reminder of death
and life and a tired body
and a sedate mind ,
#######
technology is a strange beast
growing…this does not appear to be a revolution
the numbers for the internet are staggering…
close to 40 billion e-mails a day…
easier to stay up to date
with what is happening back home…
faith of the Philippines…their language/
religion hijacked
…a curious kind people
\patronizing/ ?/
the dominant culture quickly projected wishes of glory and power
to overcome some inner deficit,
outer world i became a god amongst men…
what is the motivation for aggression…?
a survival of the fittest?
include the intellect.

private property
our own subjective experience
which is as boring as the blogs?
another beginning
The remittance industry is the result of many individuals migrating for economic reasons and with as many stories
as the working person has ever had
not for national reasons as reported by Steinbeck and the Grapes of Wrath.
It is not country to country but is in fact a person to person
financial institutions of one sort or another profit from.
As the government deregulates the banks,
more and more companies get into the business
and the fees go down…
the world bank in all it’s benevolence has said lets only charge these workers five percent, let us appear liberal and fair while the very structure of capitalism is unsustainable and as the working class gets annihilated in first world countries being replaced by a middles class
which is far cheaper than the well developed middle class
the rich get richer not by a little but by a lot
aspire to this orgy of privilege and freedom….
this slow march to pure spirit
appears misdirected by excess
and soulless transactions…
future have we really forgotten the past…
rarely do i hear it spoken.
