fistory snippets: guillotine the konger bandits!

bandits loot.

in the borrowed time of the post-war era, circumstances were that the gweilo bandits could not rove.
- first, in the name of the civilizers they could not scorch the earth and take flight.
- second, China being one of the Allies against the Axis was not to be antagonized.
- third, two decades later in the seventies, China even seemed to begin steering away from the left.
everyone thought it was taking steps towards opening up,
politically in addition to economically

unexpected sharp turn indeed in nineteen eighty-nine -
seemingly more accidental than planned.
the decision of whom?
the result of power struggle in the highest office,
triggering a drastic turn-away from political opening up aka democratization,
they decided to stuff mouths with bills.

bills.
now gweilo bandits in Town Victoria had a new strategy to loot.
with an expected reign of more than a few decades under her royal highness,
it had become worthwhile to invest in institutions as infrastructure
i.e. an elevated governing platform filled with fellow bandits;
and the puppets;
run by bandits' rule.
"we shall work the peasants and give them tools"
"they would pay tax and remit"
highly efficient, the most laissez faire.
what insulting commendation.

we had, mostly on monetary terms;
so had india, by labor and intelligence, and tea and spices;
and africa, labor via the horrendous triangular trade, and minerals.

so we ended up having higher level infrastructure, world class and top of the art.
and the pinnacle marked the start of the demise -
because the bell had rung to chase away the builder bandits.
borrowed time over.

it became that undertrained konger builders aka former puppets took over the fake throne
then untrained ones who fake knowing
who all pledges allegiance to the new master mother-looters behind the transparent blinds
through which they blatantly extend their arms and grope
new rules are old rules
harassment performance

but the fake throne holder
more voraciously loot, almost to an earth-scorching extent
loot before loose; loot before lose!
before even the mother-looters do, who see merits in keeping the infrastructure for knowledge transfer purpose
because any looted by mother-looter does not trickle down well enough
to the previously well-fed greedy local looters
a transmogrified state-business alliance
a metamorphosis

mother looting might have been resisted against, or at least slowed
but it is not possible when there is internal looting
a result of decades' breeding of 'money-first' mentality

where do you spend the money, really, without a heart?
