FARCed

But deep down inside, even the most credulous may be feeling an unease; because like Robert Mugabe’s government, those who print credits can print more of them for themselves, whether it is to fly to exotic locales to attend conferences or to serve themselves eight course meals at global summits on the Food Crisis. And the heretical thought might occur to us that we’re being had.

Today what passes for revolution is often just despotism tricked out as a
campaign to fight some supposedly great evil; for final victory against the
White Farmers, Hate Speech, Global Warming or something else. But suppose it
were really about money?
“I want to tell you about the FARC … They say that they want equality; they say
that they just want to make Colombia a better place. But that’s all a lie. It’s
a cover story and they hide behind it and they use it to justify their criminal
activity.” Say on Marc, but there are none so deaf as they who will not hear.
