The Inkstained Mind: Are the oligarchs leaving the Titanic?

4 Sept 2012

Are the oligarchs leaving the Titanic?

Robert Johnson is a real Financial World Insider. He is a former Economist for the US Senate, Executive Director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, and a Director of the Global Finance Project at the Roosevelt Institute.

Johnson also formerly traded currency on Wall Street for George Soros. Well, Soros was the chap known as "The man who broke the Bank of England", consequently costing the Britain's Pound Sterling its centuries-old position as a world reserve currency! He is believed to have masterminded the transfer of the former USSR's state-run assets into the hands of the Russian oligarchs. He (Soros) is also said to to have been the speculator behind the currency crisis that crashed the Asian Tiger economies in the late 90s. (Soros is rumoured to be a conduit for the Rothschild financial empire.)

So if anyone has had a glimpse of the plans hatched in the rareified world of money-power, it'd be Robert Johnson. Here, in his words, he describes the current (as of 25 July 2012) mood among some members of the global oligarchy. Most importantly, consider the chilling metaphor he uses to describe the Financial System: THE TITANIC!

Recently, Lord Jacob Rothschild, George Soros and John Paulson are actively "betting" on serious and imminent financial turbulence ahead.

Grab your life-jackets, folks!

WHAT IS ADVERTISING?

It's often called the world's second oldest profession.

But while the scope of the oldest one has changed little over time, the evolution in the way we communicate has had profound impact on Advertising.

In the ancient and medieval world, Advertising meant word-of-mouth. In the 1500s with the development of printing it became a 'paid public notice', disseminating the message to many. And it had Copy & Art.

Then came radio, TV, computer, cable TV, Internet, mobile phones, Internet on mobile, and it's still not done... Even what we perceive as 'change' is changing. Continuously.

So what is Advertising today?

Honestly, I don't know.

But I do know from a dozen years evolving with the business, that Advertising is most valued when it can make a tangible difference for the advertiser.

That has not changed. And probably won't.

UPDATE: Nothing's changed. But in a way, everything has.

As you see, my focus has shifted - evolved in a way - to a larger canvas. The shift or evolution was gradual, and may be have been discernable to the more observant reader.

While I was delving into the influence of media in society to better understand how perceptions are created, evolved and disseminated, I chanced upon a thread of knowledge that I frankly never knew existed.

My conclusion is that a deep pool of awareness and consciouness exists beyond the shallow narcissistic boundaries created by the convention view of social media and the Internet.

My aim is to send my readers down any path that can lead to this quenching pool.
