At the 2004 Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso was asked to reflect on the future of neoliberalism. His conclusion: neoliberalism has no future.

"A case study of development initiatives undertaken in Israel, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom by the RAND researchers Peter Chalk and Kim Cragin led to six overall conclusions about the positive effect social and economic development can have in countering a resurgence of terrorism (Chalk & Cragin 2003:ix-xiv). "
Israel has the worst humanitarian crimes record in the world. Their solution was Apartheid - and that was after THEY impoverished the Palestinians. Other solutions they utilise is to cut of the electricity and water supply to Gaza, to discouraged democracy by stopping US funding to Palestine when they democratically elected the Hamas to run government. etc etc....
Most mainstream politics is based on falacious arguments, based on foundational lies and falsehoods.
What was the grounds for the establishment of Israel? That the jews had it as a birthright, given to them by God, and their original land of 2000 years ago - Another example of a foundational falsehood - 90% of so called Jews in Israel came from the Khazar empire, which adopted judaism as their religion in 600AD - absolutely no hereditary trace to Palestine. In fact, most of the originals jews of Palestine eventually converted to Islam. There are more Semetic Muslim Pelestinians than Jews in the world.
If you can't face the real tangible variables of any given problem, then you can't develop a solution.
Imagine an engineer ascribing gravity the value of 20m/s/s despite the fact its known value is 9.8m/s/s. All of his calculations will fail to provide a solution to the problem.
And so it is still with political solutions.
Another problem - For the last 8 years, global political policies have given high priority to the falsehood that muslims did 9/11. At least here we see that Cardoso tried to maintain the tradition pre-911 consensus that the threat Terrorism is mitigated through appeasement, but in most other countries in the world they abandoned that logical policy for Bush Doctrine - the post-911 argument that Terrorism must be opposed with Pre-emptive Wars. Of course, what we saw happen with Bush Docttine was an increase in the threat of terrorism - Of course, just like the engineer and his gravity constant of 20m/s/s.
The insanity. These social political problems will never find a solution for anyone other than the shadow government elite internal banker puppet masters. We will all continue towards indentured slavery, and our arguments for solutions will go round and round as they for the last 100 years because we are apparently incapable of facing the foundational falsehoods of our arguments.
meanwhile the puppet masters know the true variables, and continue to manipulate them towards our greater indenture.
