Anticipating Class Warfare ...
Keith and "Countdown" contributor Markos Moulitsas analyze why the Republicans have summoned pollster Frank Luntz to help diffuse the message of Occupy Wall Street. Moulitsas argues that the involvement of Luntz signifies that Republicans are scared of the movement. He says that the fact that Republicans have backtracked on their opposition to an extension of the middle-class payroll tax cuts demonstrates the power of the 99 percent message: "Republicans have not caved on any issue like that as far as I remember." – YouTube
Dominant Social Theme: This is all about opposing Republican greed.
Free-Market Analysis: In this early December video Markos Moulitsas, owner of the leftist Daily Kos, comes right and says that what is going on with the current protest movement has to do with "class warfare." He describes the scenario deliberately.
We think that's what's going on, too, but unlike Moulitsas, we don't ever think class warfare is a productive way of resolving differences. It implies that there are certain elements of society that need to be fought over – and that some will win and some will lose.
This makes little sense to us. Free markets are all about providing enlightened self-interest for everybody. But Moulitsas is not interested in establishing this fact. Moulitsas is actually said to have worked for the CIA for a while early in the 2000s and from our point of view he is interested in facilitating class hatred for very specific reasons.
As usual, it all comes down to global governance. The Anglosphere powers-that-be are deeply engaged in creating chaos right now in order to foment a new world order (out of chaos, order). What better way to create chaos than by initiating class warfare.
Of course, class warfare is easier to initiate when societies are impoverished. So first you have to set the stage – which has been done. Then you create inter-societal conflict and finally, you create a war. You do all of this via the imposition of dominant social themes, the fear-based promotions that the power elite use to control the dialogue and create its "directed history."
Watch how Moulitsas describes the current class warfare that has been initiated. He has no doubt of its deliberate existence and is predicting it will have an explosive effect on the sociopolitical landscape in the US. Hey, he may be right. It did in the French Revolution, as well ...

DB: "there is nothing puzzling about it (... ) But it is highly doubtful Buffett's "class" is making war against Western middle classes.
----------------------------------
No, "the rich class" is NOT "making war. Of course not. In fact, that's why I used the term "puzzling quote from 2006" in the first place - not because of WHAT Buffet said, but WHEN. I think he was two or three years early ... given his overall "performance". The TIMING puzzled me. I thoroughly agree with the rest of your statement, however, and shall try to formulate more precisely next time ... as THE CHAIRMAN is my witness.

I suppose you are aware of this puzzling quote from 2006:
'There's class warfare, all right,' Mr. Buffett said, 'but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning.'

Sure, but there is nothing puzzling about it. Buffett has been anticipating what is happening today for years and has tried as best he can to insulate himself from it. But it is highly doubtful Buffett's "class" is making war against Western middle classes. He doesn't have the power. It is an Anglosphere elite, a mafia of trillionaires in our view, who control central banking and have been organizing world governance for more than a century now. Buffett is a kind of gofer. As is most of the so-called "one percent."
