the time of Franz Fanon reincarnation
10.19.08 (5:04 pm) [edit]Because of the recent financial turmoil kickstarted by Lehman Bros, and the landslide followed to it, the panick that is going on is enourmous. This makes me think that you can no longer live as you somehow have managed. We are in an emergency situation in the echo of the alarm that went off not too long ago.
I am relatively OK given I have not got really much to lose in any case. ;P Yet the immediate question that occurs to me was oh, well, is it unwise to deposit money to a bank account? The answer seems to be yes. Under the circumstances where people just think and move in this doubtful and extra cautious manner, it is not a right move to put money there. But I am not even talking about any saving end, but the very minimum to pay my rent and some other micellaneous fees.
Gary Null was continuously emphasizing in his radio program, which is basically on when I am at home awake or asleep, that we should withdraw money and make sure you don't put any further in the bank. Ultimately, he told us to be prepared for the time when banknotes would be just pieces of paper. Theoretically, that is true and I agree with his view on this subject matter. The question that I have is how soon it will happen.
He also mentions that we have to store foods so that we would get by in the time when money would no longer worth anything we'd need. That would be a scary thought, but all the more, Franz Fanon's revolutionary theory becomes important ever: it is neither intellectual nor proletariate that would hold the key of revolution. It is 'farmers' that would initiate and progress the change of a society, hopefully in a worthwhile manner as opposed to accelrating the destruction. Whoever the closest to the immediate needs for survival ---foods rather than banknotes, which only has protected 'the have'---are the most crucial to maneurvers the world. The question is how prepared those people are. Anyway, I think I have come to understand Fanon's insightful but very dangerous theory better finally.
