Ou est Cantona?
December 15, 2010 § 2 Comments
Trying to get hold of Eric Cantona with an idea which will hopefully be more succesful than the bike heist. Only trouble is Eric la Red doesn’t seem to answer his phone. Too busy trawling for sardines.

☮ Alerte Rouge: Le Crash.
JI just discovered that the much awaited Market Crash was programed by a fascist splinter group for the 6/7/8 January 2011. The sole goal of the “Cantona Appeal” was in fact to make journalists talk about the “soft lead” (wtch the video below) and create a butterfly and domino effect which will land in New York. Guess what? They spread the word.
“In one of the greatest investment markets in the world, namely, New York, the influence of speculation (in the above sense) is enormous. Even outside the field of finance, Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be; and this national weakness finds its nemesis in the stock market.”

This is what JMK had to say about these contemporary events, Cantona, and the difference between the Ideas of those who intended to use him a as a puppet and those of ☮ La Nouvelle Économie.:
At the present moment people are unusually expectant of a more fundamental diagnosis; more particularly ready to receive it; eager to try it out, if it should be even plausible. But apart from this contemporary mood, the ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else.
Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.
I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas. Not, indeed, immediately, but after a certain interval; for in the field of economic and political philosophy there are not many who are influenced by new theories after they are twenty-five or thirty years of age, so that the ideas which civil servants and politicians and even agitators apply to current events are not likely to be the newest.
But, soon or late, it is ideas, not vested interests,
which are dangerous for good or evil.
