from DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -
"Opening Bell"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=
"...freedom has many manifestations but the most important for many is
the ability to work for your benefit, for the benefit of your children
and the want of your country. Ukraine is a story of a future victory
and a chance for you to invest now in projects worth hundreds of
billions of dollars to share the victory of us… This will be your
victory and a new success story for your companies."
—Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, 09.06.2022
I've seen some pretty goddamn unctous fotos in the news in my time,
but none quite as revulsive lately as this tableau featuring US stooge
and Neo-Nazi Volodymyr Zelensky "virtually" ringing the opening bell
via remote video link at the New York Stock Exchange — and none quite
as apropos, given that shares in US "defense" industries are hitting
the stratosphere, and Ford and IBM's infamous collaboration with the
Nazis.
As reported at Grayzone and Multipolarista, Zelensky's economic
"victory" is being won through the abolition of labor protection in a
program not unlike that instituted by Pinochet in Chile in the 1970s,
combined with some of that good old-fashioned globalized IMF/WorldBank
"shock treatment". Ukraine is "open for business", the sonofabitch
says — I don't know about you, but when I hear one of these bastards
talk about how his country is "open for business", it's time to look
the fuck OUT.
This crass stunt — along with Zelensky's suppression of Left
opposition parties and his repeated foto ops with Nazis — would
actually indicate that this is pretty much par for the course on Wall
Street, which never met a war (or a fascist) it didn't like.
"We are pleased to welcome President Zelensky virtually to the NYSE
bell podium, a symbol of the freedom and opportunity our U.S. capital
markets have enabled around the globe. We are honored the President
has chosen the NYSE to mark the kickoff of Advantage Ukraine and
engage with the world’s business community."
—Lynn Martin, president, NYSE Group, 09.06.2022
