So, with every "solution" the problem keeps getting worse and worse. After Feb. 11, March 25 and April 11 we were each time misled to believe that the worst was over and we could now, at least for the time being, turn our thoughts to more substantial and humanly rewarding things. We have been cruelly disabused of these foolish notions.

The solution is impossible because the underlying problem is insoluble. The way the economy was managed, as the private fief of certain gangster cliques covering their filthy arses under the banner of "socialism", is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath that, you have a public mentality shaped under the most distorted versions of "leftism", i.e. a whole society brought up to think that the meaning of existence is to live at the expense of others and of the community as a whole. This stinking egotism, this manic attachment to private gain, from the least individual all the way up to companies, institutions, political parties etc., was enshrined as the chief motive for social action from the early eighties on, with the unavoidable consequence of destroying the very preconditions for human togetherness and social endeavor. This ingrained inner disposition will take a very long time to change in the slightest -and as far as I am concerned it is way past mending. This is what the country's international environment senses clearly, and that is why it keeps withholding any trust, and even the slightest esteem that one owns to nominally fellow human beings.

This sick concoction of beastly greediness mixed together with militant "revolutionary" declarations has been found out for what it is, namely a mockery of all that is essential to the very concept of humanity. These are painful thoughts to think, let alone to utter publicly. They point to an impending calamity of apocalyptic proportions -which I pray never comes. But they impose themselves. They invade the mind as one watches this miserable bunch of idiotic nonentities calling themselves our leaders, the very ones to whom we owe the present moral and material implosion, going about their usual business, bickering, uttering platitudes, lying through their teeth and generally blaming everyone but themselves for the current shame.

Yesterday even the prime minister himself, who in some respects rises above the laughable herd of his associates and opponents, felt that he had to pay obeisance in parliament to the leader of a miniscule "leftist" party consisting of a collection of silly splinter groups that represent the dregs of stalinism, totalitarian "direct action", romanticized terrorism etc., i.e. everything which the European left (even in its radical expressions) has long jettisoned. He basically apologized for trying to reform things, and his excuse was that he did not really want to, but his hand was forced by the evil forces attacking the country. When sane people, here but most of all abroad, listen to these bathetic, puke-inducing convolutions, is it any wonder that they throw their arms up in the air and wish to see the place consigned to the inner circles of hell?

The whole public establishment here (with a few individual exceptions here and there) are dead set upon saving the dead system at all cost, and hence want to use the half-hearted European solutions as a cover for going back to their customary malfeasance. But the whole world knows this by now, and that is why (woe to us) the whole world is about to let us go down the cliff that we have chosen for ourselves.
