		<description><![CDATA[Politics is Power. Any Political struggle is a struggle for Power.

WE are having our Power Struggle because we&#039;ve realized NO ONE IS IN CHARGE. That is UNBEARABLE. 

We cannot bear it; we shall scream and fight UNTIL someone wins and ORDER is restored because SOMEONE IS IN CHARGE AGAIN.

All the rest including Lucan is mere shades, textures and varying scent of the green poo we toss. Soon we&#039;ll bite and no more poo, just blood.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because we&#039;re monkeys who&#039;ve lost their gods, because we&#039;re monkeys who&#039;ve sawn off the branches perched on, because we&#039;re burning down our own trees, because the top monkeys are weak, corrupt, treacherous, because without our sky gods divine and hominid we are bored itchy nihilists, because we have too many bananas and not enough to do...because these things happen from time to time.  

Civil Wars happen from time to time.

If you want the actual cause of this war now — cause, not rationalizations or justifications — the cause is there&#039;s a power struggle because we all sense no one and no group is actually in charge. 

Tyranny is bearable; no one being in charge is unbearable.  

That no one&#039;s in charge is a natural consequence of the Bureaucratic Technocracy set up by FDR, The New Deal is Administrative government in exchange for government checks.  No one&#039;s actually been President since FDR; he arranged matters that way.  Problem being that led to our present bureaucratic feudalism and elite capture of respective bureaucracies and our ever whoring Parliament.  But the real cause is now we KNOW that NO ONE IS IN CHARGE. 

WHEE WHEEE WHEE scream we monkeys.  NO ONE IS IN CHARGE! WHEEE WHEE WHEE! We just can&#039;t live this way, never could.  The rest is just shades of green feces.  The problem in politics is always power. Our unbearable situation is we now know no one&#039;s in charge.]]></description>
