No one, no one will ever untangle this mess of words and make sense of it. That is a personal

I got a theory on our glorious leaders
And I don't mean only the US only...so chill
I include Merkel and Zarkozy, and Brown and Harper...the who's who of the G-20 economies.
After the 2008 debacle we had talk of banking re-regulation, not just in the US. (well not the Canucks, they had a regulated banking sector and got a slight cold)
We also had talk of free trade for about ten seconds in the historical clock, and currency policy. On this score, all lies aside, when it comes to China we have been a tad tougher. But corporations and banks fought back.
Our fearless leaders are not afraid of their people's. They really are not. So unless we have something real violent...whatever...our feckless leaders are afraid of transnationals, who have zero loyalty to country of origin, and can shake whole economies by moving complete production from one country to the next in a matter of months...Nike does this regularly by the way...and the banks.
Yeah, yeah national governments have armies...both physical, and the jokes in tax men. But corporations have the law on their side. They have carefully engineered a system where yes, they can take a government to the WTO. So this is what our feckless leaders fear, this Frankestein created in both national and international law. So until our collective feckless leaders grow a spine and say enough, even at the cost of Apple leaving the US for greener shores, and BMW doing the same in Germany, we will continue on this road of greed is good and continue to privatize all in sight. Suffice it to say, Krugman is right, it will not end well. But I fear none is willing to speak the ugly truth, our leaders fear the monster.
Read the book, and think of Frankestein in terms of the WTO....

3. You got it
We are now in what I'd like to call the cyberpunk age.
Which is different from the Metternich age.

4. "cyberpunk age"? what is that?
and how is it different from the Metternich age?
The cyperpunk age is the period of time in which punks go into cyberspace arrogantly displaying their lack of knowledge. DU is in full cyperpunk age mode and nadin is the leader.

Good to see that she's up-to-date. Dr. Brown and M. Sarkozy (whom I think may be related to the Zarkozy she references) are not our leaders (glorious or otherwise) having been kicked out by their electorates...not too long until another such leader suffers the same fate.

She instructs us to "read the book." What book? Her new novel? Then, we are to think about Frankenstein in terms of the WTO. :???: I tried. I got nothin.

These books? (http://www.deankoontz.com/frankenstein-books) I've only read the first three.

I've been taking a home-study course in Nadinese, and I think she is referring to the book, Frankenstein, failing to realize that Frankeinstein was not the monster this Frankestein created in both national and international law.
I'm only in the first semester of the course, so I could be wrong. But bless her heart, she found a new word, 'feckless', and managed to get it in the OP twice.
