No party in Parliament has the answer to the staggering level of Debt

Government debt: That’ll be £2.2 trillion, please
The amount of money owed by the Government is huge and rising, says Eamonn Butler, so why aren’t we pursuing simple, effective ways to reduce the burden? read more ...


=================================

My response:

Sure, labour have borrowed excessively and handled the economy in an appalling and incompetent way. They inherited a golden legacy and wasted it.

They gave a huge amount of control to the banks on day one of coming to power, by allowing the Bank of England to handle interest rates. They also removed the oversight of the city from the Bank of England and gave it to a toothless quango.

But having done all that, labour then sat back and let the banks do what they are solely in existence to do; CREATE DEBT!

At first when these monster-sized debts were being run up, the extra spending boosted the economy massively. Of course, this was ALWAYS going to be unsustainable.

This is not realisation with the benefit of hindsight either. I was writing warning of this 8 years ago, when every one else was praising a chancellor for being prudent and overseeing a boom, when in reality all he was doing was encouraging profligate lending and his only, sole action in managing the economy was by the gross overtaxing of the resulting boom, to waste the proceeds building a client state of pen-pushers and layabouts. That was ALL he did! This was the imposition of the remedial version of the old socialist classical labour economic rulebook. Page1 states Overtax and page 2 states spend badly. So I am NOT removing the blame for the terrifying amount of borrowing from labour at all.

However, by so giving so much power to the banks to create uncontrolled excessive debt, and by those banks doing what banks are solely in existence to do, of course the current mess is the Banks' fault. Or more precisely, the fault of the banking system.

Think about it. IF we have the power to create money out of thin air (and we DO. After all money is NOT backed by anything of value today) Then why is there any debt? We can create enough money to pay off the debt and have an instant full economic recovery.

The problem is, the current system of fractional reserve banking of fiat currencies makes it impossible to do. Every single pound created is created with a debt of interest already attached. That interest is NEVER created and so can never be repaid except by the creation of more interest bearing debt. Every new pound created INCREASES the amount of debt.

Unfortunately, none of the current Parliamentary parties are proposing to do anything about it either. Labour, Tories and the Liberals ALL are in collusion with the global banking establishment to keep that system in place to the bitter and totalitarian end. ALL those parties put the banking elite before the needs of the people. They are all traitors.

We need the political will to remove the power to create money from the banks and assign it to elected officials. Money should be created interest free and be based on a resource of real value.

That and ONLY that, will solve the economic problems we have and have the added benefit of returning money to being our servant, a useful tool, and stop being our master and enslaver.

How the few control the many. Or, why do we let ourselves be cowed by inappropriate peer pressure?

Interesting result for the BNP

Bear with me on this and read it all....

After listening to all the candidates that spoke on the media last night, I would rather see Nick Griffin as PM than any Labour member. This is NOT an endorsement of Nick as my choice of candidate, just that I would rather he were PM than any Labour party apparatchik.

What Nick said (I am only talking about his WORDS here, bear with me on this) What he said last night was entirely reasonable, measured and common sense in terms of he was ACTUALLY CLAIMING to be in support of was a form of multiculturalism which INCLUDES the British. Labour believe multiculturalism and Britishness are mutually exclusive to the extent that Britishness is often referred to as racist and offensive to minorities. Nick Griffin NEVER Excluded any racial or religious group from participation in British life.

People do not have a problem with supporting the indigenous peoples of Australia in Oz, or the Native Americans in North America. The difference between the BNP and the others is that they are supporting the indigenous people (Celts, Norman, Anglo-Saxon) of these islands before we are made a minority and our historic and cultural lands are taken from us.

I do have sympathy with that argument. Like what Nick said last night, I to do NOT want to see people who contribute to this nation, who work and pay taxes, to be excluded from the benefits of being British Nationals, regardless of their skin colour, religion or background.

I agree with him that the excesses of extremist versions of Islam (or any extreme religion or group) should be prevented, like the arranged marriages, the deep disrespect for and restriction of women's rights and the punishment beatings and killings of women who choose to marry outside their arranged marriages. Let alone the activitieas associated with Jihad against us. The cruelty inherent in Halaal meat should also be banned.

Such accommodations should not be made, just for political correctness sake. These practices are profoundly wrong and this country should not allow them. IF people wish to practise such things, then they are free to leave and practice them elsewhere, just as anyone is free to leave and practice any activity or belief or ritual that is illegal here, but legal in other nations, Like target shooting with hand-guns for example, or Smoking Canibis (A Rastafarian practice).

I vehemently disagree that people should be excluded on the grounds of their skin colour or religion alone, unless that religion demands adherents to it to cause harm, injury or loss to others.

I also agree with him on protecting British Jobs from being given to foreign people on substantialy below minimum wages here. An EU ruling meant that Employers can source labour from the cheapest countries and undercut the wages in any other member state legally paying substantially less than the minimum wage in that state.

LABOUR in the UK allow this practice and have never issued a peep against it, for to do so would be to go against their precious EU oligarchy.

We have a minimum wage here and it should be either enforced equally for ALL employers, OR scrapped entirely. At the moment it forces employers to discriminate against British workers as it is illegal to pay below minimum wage to British workers, but not to migrant workers from a member state that has no minimum wage. that is an INSANE, ANTI-BRITISH situation that labour have allowed and encouraged in this country.

Now I know I cannot take Nick Griffin solely on his word. I mean, I could barely refute much of what Tony Blair said, (again his words were sound, but his deeds?) I agreed with many of his words and they were all about ending discrimination and promoting peace, but that did not stop him lying to get into a war that killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims and people of dark skin. The BNP have NO such stain upon them.

That said, UKIP are a dedicated NON RACIST party who also want to take us out of the EU, so that is why I voted UKIP. That and to help them to defeat the real fascists in the Labour party. Congratulations to the UKIP for the marvellous entertainment of seeing Labour BEATEN by a fringe party!!! FANTASTIC!

I know most people still want to be 'in Europe but not run by Europe' and that is my personal preference, but that will NOT be an option soon. Post Lisbon, there will be a choice (if we are LUCKY) and that will either be between (1) a full and complete integration and break up into into separate regions under a new anti-democratic, oligarchical country called the EU, and (2) complete withdrawal from the EU.

There are no plans for, nor will there be any accommodation made for the "stay where we are, this far and no further" option. The EU commission will not allow it. The Council of Ministers will not allow it and the roadmap of the EU is showing the destination to be ONE country run by an unelected oligarchy with all the classic hallmarks of fascist nationalism. Corporacratic institutions run in secret like the 3,500 secret working groups that research and develop policy for the Commission. Rampant Nationalism with the nation's flag everywhere. Rampant militarism will come in the final stages, restrictions in rights and democratic accountability or self determination also at this stage.

If we are lucky we will be granted a choice between being broken up into EU regions and controlled 100% by an anti-democratic oligarchy in Brussels, and withdrawal to independence.

Though the chances are that we will not. We will be marched in without a say to the point at which anti-EU political parties, demonstrations and organisation will be outlawed as seditious and treasonous against the country and leadership of the EU.

Then we will be in a heart of a fascist superstate. A real fourth Reich, and I want NO PART of anything that could become a fully fledged fascist state.

That is why I applaud the BNP in getting their seats and using the opportunity to seek out and expose evidence of REAL Fascism in the heart of both the EU and OUR MAINSTREAM PARTIES!

WOW! How Ironic that the BNP could now expose the real fascists for what they are.

I watch with great interest what will ensue.

It's a terrible atmosphere of doom in Westminster.

I am sick of hearing MP's saying what a terrible fear-laden, terrifying atmosphere in Westminster at the moment.

So MP's are scared? GOOD! We just MIGHT get good democracy if the MP's and Government fear the people. After all we have had appalling democracy for the last 8 years, with the Government trying to keep all of US in a constant state of fear. (terrorism, global warming, pandemics, BNP etc...)

It's is about time that they WERE scared and it is a bloody good thing too!

As for the atmosphere being so doom-laden, well, it cannot be that bad can it? I mean, they could change that very quickly with a General election. But then they like their massive pay and perks more than the desire to really change things by giving their place at the trough up by calling an election.

LET'S SACK THE BASTARDS!!!

DO SOMETHING POSITIVE

The silent coup by stealth continues ...

If you want to enable REAL change join nonvoters.org and DO SOMETHING POSITIVE

So we have Speaker Martin resign and so honesty and decency and integrity shall be returned to the honourable members of the Commons eh?

WAKE UP AND THINK PEOPLE, THIS IS A COUP IN PROGRESS!

I’m not buying it. I am GLAD that he has promised to stand down, BUT, remember Problem, reaction, solution. The old Hegelian dialectic. The EU coup by stealth is almost complete. All they need is to break up our Parliament and remove our constitutional arrangements, and offices that are under Oath to the Queen and then we are TOTALLY consumed by the beast of the EU. Common law could be dead. They already have an army of "pretend police" who take no oath. They have allowed NATO troops, (who take no Oath to our Queen), to operate here whilst our brave soldiers are used and abused fighting illegal wars overseas. (The NATO troops were kitted and ready to go AT the G20 protests).

SO what do we have now? A scandal whereby the it appears (and I may be wrong, but, it still appears) that the Speaker’s power is now to be removed and handed over to a “respected and independent” third party (in the third sector) and the Speaker will become a symbolic and ceremonial position, powerless and usurped by traitors to the Crown.

A HUGE chunk of OUR power may have just been stolen from under our (the people’s) noses AND with our active consent and encouragement!

The only way to redress this is to vote in MASSIVE numbers for independent candidates of honour and integrity who ALSO have a knowledge and a passion and a desire to defend our constitution and our nation!

Vote Independent to SACK the traitorous and greedy MPs.

Speaker Martin's Statement...

No resignation, no call for an election, no remedy. Only a feeble request "Please do not submit expenses claims whilst we look at the system."

This is not even fiddling whilst Rome burns, this is throwing the people on the fucking fire...

They are bitching about the motion of a vote of confidence in the Speaker, not being a substantive motion and if that is allowed, or would some other kind of motion get a debate. Then Speaker Martin says these things are down to the Government...HOW RIDICULOUS AND OUT OF TOUCH!

Time for him, and the entire bunch of charlatans to go! NOW! This ridiculous delaying tactics must NOT be allowed to stand.

The country will find this statement to be utterly and completely insufficient at this time.

Some MP's are even BACKING the thieving scum in these delaying and stalling tactics. Saying that the house and the public must calm down and wait for Mr Kelly's report into expenses. BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT BULLSHIT!

I shall petition the Queen and seek a dissolution of Parliament Forthwith by way of formal written notice of this reasonable request and I suggest that we all do the same, lest I then give notice of an intention to declare lawful rebellion against the state, as indeed thousands of other good men and women have done already!

We MUST take this country back from thieves and fraudsters and traitors.

Yes Your Majesty, Why don't YOU Sort it?

Her Royal Majesty the Queen Elizibeth the second has stated (according to the Sunday Express) that she is most displeased with Gordon Brown's shambolic handling of the expenses crisis. She has told him to sort it.

With Respect ma'am, but why the fuck don't YOU do something about it? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

YOU are the only one in this country with the power to dissolve Parliament. Sure, that unilateral decision to do so would plunge this country into a technical, constitutional crisis, but then you would be seen by the vast majority of the country as a true heroin for ridding us of this necrotic Government.

Come on your maj, pull your royal finger out, lest you find even MORE subjects launching their declarations of lawful rebellion, and becoming soveriegns themselves.

nonvoters.org has started a campaign to save this nation through a radical, but blindingly obvious and simple idea. Use the general election as a weapon against the Establishent and VOTE for a local independent. SUPER IDEA!

A local independent is beholden to the electorate INSTEAD OF an easily corruptable party. Party MP's ONLY represent their party. By voting for a party, one is turning that weapon upon ourselves and voting for what the party machines want. We should turn the weapon upon the Establishment and SACK ALL THE CORRUPT, THEIVING BASTARDS at once.

Well done you well intentioned brain dead fuckwit knuckle draggers.

I use the vernacular terms in this piece to communicate to the fucking useless retards that are the cause of this story and anyone who thinks that they are "heroes":

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7962825.stm

Sir Fred "the shred" Goodwin's home has been attacked. So, I say well-fucking-done to whomever did this. Now you are giving the banker controlled Government every fucking excuse that they could want to restrict the freedom of all UK Person's much much further. Sir Fred Goodwin was merely a very junior puppet in global banking terms and surely does not know his ass from his elbow with regards to what the Global Banking scam is all about.

If these folks that vandalised his home really wanted to be useful, then they should have at least "disappeared" the heads of every one of the elite global banking families. That MIGHT have been useful. As it is they barely scratch a lowly pawn and by so doing, risk getting the rest of us royally butt-fucked by the Banker's guard-dogs in Parliament.

How can I put this simply.... STOP ALL VIOLENT PROTEST. It does NOT work and only plays into the hands of the elite.

Learn and educate yourselves instead. Learn about your unalienable rights in law, the COMMON LAW. Learn about how to PEACEFULLY and LAWFULLY REBEL then REFUSE TO COMPLY OR GIVE CONSENT TO THEIR GAMES! Without OUR CONSENT, they are FUCKED!

GET IT? Acting PEACEFULLY and Lawfully as free flesh and blood men and women created with a soul, endowed by GOD with unalienable rights under natural law and acting within compliance with and full and willing adherence to COMMON LAW in removing OUR consent to contract with them, leaves them FUCKED!

When Hitler killed millions he was labelled a monster ...

When the Climate Alarmists want to kill off BILLIONS of people through mass depopulation, reducing population by 90%, they are given the Nobel Peace Prize.

OK I know most people do NOT want to see humanity culled. Most people watch the same mainstream media that lied about Iraq's WMD. Lied about so many aspects of 9/11 and 7/7. Lied about the global economy encouraging us to invest in (what are now known as) dodgy speculative markets and take out extra finance on our property and use increasing equity as income because we have ended boom and bust and the markets are growing and there is NO SIGN of a coming crash!!! The same media that John Stewart rips apart here is the same media that refuses to report climate reality, but falls over itself to report unsupported, unproven, speculative and error filled climate alarmism as often as they can. MOST people who are worried about man-made global warming get their information from the propaganda outlets for the global plutocracy AKA mainstream media.

Well below are some quotes from the people at the top of the "green" ecomentalist agenda which give a hint about the thinking behind this movement:

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”

“The emerging ‘environmentalization’ of our civilization and the need for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global community will inevitably have multiple political consequences.

“The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations.

Our sensations of wonder and pleasure, our capacity for conscious thought and speculation, our restless curiosity and drive are hers to share. This new interrelationship of Gaia with man is by no means fully established; we are not yet a truly collective species, corralled and tamed as an integral part of the biosphere, as we are as individual creatures. It may be that the destiny of mankind is to become tamed, so that the fierce, destructive, and greedy forces of tribalism and nationalism are fused into a compulsive urge to belong to the commonwealth of all creatures which constitutes Gaia.”

– Sir James Lovelock, Gaia: A New Look At Life

“Little by little a planetary prayer book is thus being composed by an increasingly united humanity seeking its oneness. Once again, but this time on a universal scale, humankind is seeking no less than its reunion with ‘divine,’ its transcendence into higher forms of life. Hindus call our earth Brahma, or God, for they rightly see no difference between our earth and the divine. This ancient simple truth is slowly dawning again upon humanity, as we are about to enter our cosmic age and become what we were always meant to be: the planet of god.”

- Robert Muller, UN Assistant Secretary General

“What if Mary is another name for Gaia? Then her capacity for virgin birth is no miracle . . . it is a role of Gaia since life began . . . She is of this Universe and, conceivably, a part of God.

The best hypocritical quote:

“We require a central organizing principle - one agreed to voluntarily.

This is why the mainstream news media is considered a joke...

Whilst the comedy news is getting more and more viewers all the time....

Who out of the mainstream news media and the comedy media tells it like it IS over the bank bail-outs???

Here's a little clue:

Joke of the Day

If ONLY the mainstream news had the balls? Trouble is, the banking elite OWNS the mainstream news. So banking bailouts are good. Bailouts for the public = bad.

The current bail-outs are only guaranteed to create MORE debt. Whose interest is that in? The bank's, or the public's? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Why do governments refuse to create all this bailout money and issue it direct into circulation in the form of grants to businesses and the public? The money would be given to the banks anyway in the form of deposits, but, it would massively benefit the public. NO. They create all this extra money and give it wholesale to the banks to LEND AT INTEREST. But the banks STILL will not lend. Why? They want to destroy the global economy to the extent that the public will be begging for a global solution in the form of the new global banking order that Gordon Brown keeps banging on about!

With all this bailout billions going straight to the bankers (bypassing people altogether) IF you take out a loan, (I would strongly advise against it) you will not ONLY have to repay that loan, but you will have to find the interest on that loan and you will have to repay it all over again in increased taxes to the government so that they could fund the bank to give you the loan. You will be repaying the loan twice plus interest.

How INSANE IS THAT???

Talk about over rewarding corporate failure, but shafting the fuck out of the public.

So we have traitors in Government fucking us over for our money to give to the banks for free so that they can lend us OUR OWN FUCKING MONEY AT INTEREST!!!!!

What do we do about this? Revolt? Forgedaboudit!!!! Their would be martial law enacted and the permission to shoot protesters enacted before the first petrol bomb lands.

We HAVE been given one solitary legal and peaceful and legitimate weapon though. One that WE can use against the evil fucks that are mugging us daily. The mainstream media will not tell us what it is, because they want to remain in control of the flow of information. The elitist bastards that are screwing us over daily depend on them to mislead and manipulate us into welcoming our daily betrayal. So what is this secret weapon??? Well that is not strictly true. The media are constantly telling us what this weapon is, BUT they are constantly instructing US to use it AGAINST ourselves and they instruct us how to use in to favour the rich elitist bastards that mug us everyday.

So what is this marvellous weapon?

Actually you will be disappointed to learn it is democracy. Honest, the humble general election. How is this our powerful weapon? Well, IF we all actually got bothered enough to USE IT PROPERLY, then we can finish off these corporate pricks who worship these banking fuckers FOREVER! And this is the great part, it will be ridiculously EASY to do. All we have to do is to vote against ALL those parasitic vultures that are trying to bleed us dry. All the people who support handing hundreds and hundreds of billions of pounds straight to the banking bastards that ruined this country.

Instead, give that money direct to the people in the form of business grants to help the manufacturing and export sectors create real employment and then home improvement grants, grants to scrap old cars and replace them with new, grants for domestic solar energy and wind energy improvements, etc.

Unelect EVERY sitting politician, vote against ALL mainstream political parties and ONLY vote for local independent candidates at the next general election.

Political parties can too easily be taken over and controlled by these evil elitist parasites. Look at what has happened to UKIP. Taken over by elite backed tories and destroyed as a political force by internal strife by design. The BNP will also be targeted if they become a threat to the establishment. Hierarchical political movements are very very very unlikely to be able to change anything owing to the pyramid structure which removes the power of the people to control them. They depend on a "leader" figure and this it what makes it so easy for the elite to take over these organisations. The communist agenda of Common Purpose has taken over many city councils already by simply targeting key decision makers. We need to take this country back and not by replacing one elitist hierarchy with another hierarchy.

IF you agree then spread this idea. Only vote for a local independent candidate at the general election this is the ONE tool we have to stop the parasitic bastards who are stealing OUR money to lend back to us at interest.

The establishment media will tell you that any vote that is not going to an establishment party is a wasted vote. What would you expect the establishment to tell you? The media does NOT control the Government and the Government does NOT control the media. BUT THEY BOTH WORK TO DEFEND THE ESTABLISHMENT AT ALL COSTS.

The media will mislead you into believing that a vote against the establishment is a wasted vote, I disagree. Think of elections as a weapon. Think of your vote as a bullet. Would you rather point the gun at yourself? or at the establishment?

A grass-roots campaign to raise awareness on how effective your vote can be at destroying the current evil greedy establishment will be overlooked or at best ridiculed by the establishment media. So it has to remain a grass-roots, quiet campaign.

People in each constituency should organise themselves behind an independent candidate that values democracy, values the UK and is dedicated to honestly serving the people of that constituency in Parliament against ALL foreign and domestic enemies and putting the people of that constituency first.

The electoral numbers speak for themselves. I am not trying to convert tories or labour or lib-dem supporters. Why not? We do not need them. There are far more disillusioned and pissed off non-voters in this country than there are supporters of the mainstream. and the supporters of the mainstream are split between the mainstream parties. If we all unite behind a local independent candidate, just once, in the name of democracy and for the benefit of the PEOPLE of this country. ALL the people, not one person excluded, then we CAN eradicate the labour party, the Conservative party and the liberal party as political movements forever, instantly and at a stroke.

Here's the maths:

The opinion polls EXCLUDE non voters from their results, so I have added them to the above under "other" and shown HOW MUCH REAL POWER THEY HAVE. Click on the image to change the figures and add your own. It is fun to see how little support is needed for a big swing in power.

So let's save our country. Spread this idea of ONLY voting for a local independent. Every other political party has been compromised. The elite cannot compromise us ALL!

Every single vote for a local independent candidate is a bullet to the head of the elite establishment bastards that have stolen hundreds of billions of pounds from us to lend back to us at interest, that have taken our personal and private data and entered them into insecure database systems and then lost them, that have removed centuries old liberties, many of these liberties have been secured by our forefathers fighting to the death to preserve them against foreign enemies hell bent on destroying our traditional freedoms and liberties. And now our establishment are removing them at an alarming rate.

Defend our liberty, Defend our money, Defend our way of life from elitist banking bastards and their political pet guard dogs. USE our democracy to take BACK this nation for ALL the people of this nation.

SPREAD THIS IDEA FAR AND WIDE AND WE CAN KILL OFF THE POLITICS OF CORRUPT ELITE CONTROL.

A friend asked me to post this:

Why we went to war in Iraq:

the BBC moderators have referred this comment so I have asked my friend to post it here instead.)

In light of the Government being ordered to publish the minutes of their cabinet meeting discussing the decision to go to war in Iraq, the BBC's Nick Robinson posted a blog here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/nickrobinson/2009/01/cabinet_minutes.html

My reply to post number 50 is as follows:

@ 50.

50. At 08:53am on 28 Jan 2009, rahere wrote:

Whilst a lot of people on here do not do any real research, I did know who Craig Murray is and I have read much of his work.

Here is a long brain dump, from the top of my head, I apologise for the length of this, but it needs to be written. Please read on...

I also researched UN inspectors, looked up interviews and reports (in the public domain) from intelligence operatives on the ground, from Politicians, bankers, reporters, independent bloggers and NGO's and other actors involved directly and indirectly in the search for WMD.

Oh, I did the vast majority of this extensive research PRIOR to the invasion of Iraq and could only ever come to the conclusion that the invasion was illegal in international law sans a specific resolution authorising force... The existing UN resolutions gave no time-limit, nor automacity to military action. Whilst the inspectors on the ground where getting full co-operation from the Iraq regime (and the inspector's themselves stated many times that they were) and they only had a few months to go, then there was NO legitimacy in launching the invasion.

The French NEVER said that they would veto a second resolution "no matter what". That was another Blair lie. The French said that "SO LONG AS INSPECTORS ARE STILL WORKING IN IRAQ then they would veto a second resolution no matter what" I think that was a reasonable policy.

The UN inspectors were repeatedly given co-ordinates of places where the US/UK intelligence agencies "knew for a fact" (high level confidence) that WMD's, their pre-cursors, programmes, parts or parts thereof would definitely be located. EVERY time there was nothing there. It could be a lab, that had been sealed and not accessed for 13 years, the locks rusted shut. Or it could be a pile of rubble that used to be a factory, or even just a pile of sand. (which would be meticulously excavated to reveal that it was just a pile of sand).

It turned out most of this information was NOT coming from intelligence services at all, but was coming from the whitehouse Iraq group, or the Office of special plans or Rockingham or other agencies outside of the intelligence network that were created to cherry-pick existing intelligence or invent new intelligence that was "fixed around the policy" of invasion, no matter what. The real intelligence services were repeatedly leaking to the media that they could not verify ANY of the claims that where coming in about WMD in Iraq. But each agency was played off against the other. MI6 could not verify the data but were told that CIA could. Meanwhile the CIA could not but were told that the Russian's could, The Russians couldn't but were assured that the Italians could etc etc etc. America was using Chalibi's group of criminals to disseminate false information and feeding all of the different agencies lies.

In spite of these agency games, every single claim of evidence pointing to Iraq's growing stockpile of WMD was empty, and proven false before the invasion.

They could NOT let the inspector's finish the inspections though. Why? Well, the inspectors would have concluded that Iraq had no WMD, then there could not "legally" be an invasion.

The invasion was illegally launched on the back of deliberate lies. The fact that the UK and USA were still pushing the yellowcake from Africa lie after it had been publicly debunked by Hans Blix as a deliberate forgery proves that they were lying and they knew that they were lying. Why else continue to tell what was a known lie? They merely said that they had "more sources" for the story than one forged and then debunked memo. Well it turns out that, that was a lie too.

Why was this not exposed as the blatant lies that it was at the time?

Actually, It was. It was screamed from the rooftops at the time, but ONLY by people in the blogosphere.

These people were written off by the criminally servile mainstream media as wild conspiracy nuts. I wonder why? Could that be because it was all, in reality, an actual, real, live, wild conspiracy? It was, but it was a true one nonetheless.

The media were criminally subservient supine servants to the elite criminals pulling the strings of the neo-con push to war.

I believe that if they had been able to get Tony Blair to debate this issue with Hans Blix, or even Scott Ritter (one of the most eminent experts on Iraq's WMD and one of the inspection chiefs) on prime-time TV on the day before the war vote, then the UK would not have gone to war. The BBC did interview Scott Ritter, at 3:30 AM on talkback, weeks earlier.

Blair was given prime-time to regurgitate repeated lies, un-challenged in any meaningful way.

He lied about the Iraqis throwing out the inspectors in 1998. (The Americans withdrew them) He lied about the properties of the alleged WMD allegedly in Iraq's possession. He was never even asked if the "unaccounted for stocks" would even still be viable as weapons.

It turned out (again, known at the time) that the only stocks that were unaccounted for were due to accounting errors between Iraqis and the UN and the UN and Governments of member states.

Way back at the end of Gulf war 1, Saddam was ordered to disarm. He refused. he made life difficult for the inspectors and he hid stuff. The UN inspection teams found everything he was hiding because of the sophisticated forensic techniques and tools at their disposal. Including the paper-trails from all the supply chain, inside and outside of Iraq. Because of this initial difficulty from Saddam, the UN knew it could not trust him fully, so they decided to "estimate" what the THEORETICAL maximum capacity of Iraq's WMD manufacturing capability was. in other words, They estimated how much stuff Iraq's weapons factories and labs could produce.

Over time this estimate became a fixed actual real amount of weapons according to enemies of Iraq. They never existed in reality.

So the unaccounted for weapons did NOT exist and never ever did exist at all.

BUT, what if they did? would they still be viable? To my knowledge, the media never asked Blair to back up his claims by asking him about the shelf life of these weapons. most of which had a shelf life (if kept in perfect refrigerated conditions) of months. Some only of a few weeks. So even if these non-existent weapons were still to be found, they would have been rendered inert by the laws of physics and chemistry.

So we went to war over non-existent out of date and harmless weapons? No, we went to war for a number of reasons, NONE of them legal.

The real reasons (for there were more than one) I discovered were (in no particular order)

1. Regime change.
2. Bush Juniour's revenge against Saddam's threat to Bush Senior.
3. Saddam selling oil in Euro's instead of Dollars, weakening the petrodollar and risking economic collapse for the US.
4. The oil itself.
5. To remove a risk to Israel.
6. To liberate specific artefacts from the museum in Baghdad and destroy Babylon.
7. Strategic advantage over Iran (getting troops in all the countries surrounding Iran)
8. To send a strong message to Libya, Syria and the "axis of evil" countries

Whilst several of those reasons are understandable and reasonable, (and resulted in Libya changing course) none of them were lawful reasons to invade a sovereign nation.

Tony Blair is a war criminal and should be put on trial in the Hague.

Back for a one-off post

*UPDATED*

The BBC are claiming that they cannot help the reputable and politically neutral charities with their appeal because helping impartial charities appealing for aid to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe would breach their own impartiality.

WHAT THE FUCK? Helping impartial humanitarian reputable charities risks impartiality?

Oh really and how the FUCK do you work that out then? eh????

The BBC has aired appeals by the Disaster Emergency Committee many times before to help the victims of politically inspired crisis'. By politically inspired, I mean victims of war, and victims of Governments or rebel forces that cause people to live in drought infected areas and any other disaster that is instigated by human means, as opposed to natural disasters like earthquakes or floods etc...

Well, the BBC aired the appeal for the Former Yugoslavia (a political crisis) in 1994:


The BBC aired the appeal for Rwanda (a political crisis) in 1994:


The BBC aired the appeal for Kosovo (a political crisis) in 1999:


The BBC aired the appeal for the Sudan (a political crisis) in 2004:


The BBC aired an appeal for the Congo (a political crisis) in 1998:


So why would the BBC NOT air the latest appeal to help the innocent victims in Gaza?

Has the BBC ever refused to air an appeal of this sort before?

Well, yes, actually, it has. The BBC refused to air an appeal for the victims of Lebanon after the last Israeli incursion there.

Notice a pattern here?

The BBC has only ever refused to show a charitable appeal by impartial charities if it is to alleviate the suffering of the victims of Israeli aggression and disproportionate violence. That is the ONLY time the BBC refuses to help these impartial charities.

Why would the BBC refuse to help the victims of Israeli aggression?

Marcus Agius Senior Independent Director

Agius has been a non-executive Director of Barclays since 1 September 2006, and succeeded Matthew Barrett as Chairman from 1 January 2007. He was previously chairman of the London branch of investment bank Lazard and non-executive chairman of BAA Limited.

Born into a Jewish family, Agius is married to Katherine (born 1949), daughter of Edmund de Rothschild of the Rothschild banking family of England, with two children, and has a close involvement with the Rothschild family estate, Exbury Gardens in Hampshire.

That could be a reason? They have Zionist Jews at the very highest level of the corporation. Their political bias shows loud and clear that the BBC has failed to behave in an impartial manner in this sordid and disgusting episode.

In refusing this appeal, the BBC are colluding with the war-criminals of Israel and exasperating the disaster in Gaza and by taking this decision, the BBC are going to ensure that more people die as a result of war-crimes than would otherwise be the case. IN reality, the BBC are aiding and abetting war crimes. (As they did in failing to report the Blair and Bush Governments lies about Iraq's WMD, but merely acting in supine acquiescence to parrot blatantly inaccurate propaganda as fact).

It is only the bravery of some BBC journalists and the fury that they feel at their employers that has ensured massive publicity for this Gaza cause. Had the leadership of the BBC had their way, then there would have been no publicity for this cause at all.

These brave journalists, going against the stated BBC policy, (but in reality acting in the spirit of it 100%) are mitigating those deaths and they should be rewarded for it.

Without further ado, please follow the link to the disaster emergency committee website and donate all you can:

Here is the video that the BBC and SKY TV did not want you to see. I can see why now too. The scale of the destruction of civilian areas is nothing short of collective punishment and is therefore a war-crime. The BBC and SKY are aiding and abetting war criminals.

U.S. says Russian pullback "far too slow"

A top U.S. general visiting Georgia condemned the pullout as "far too little, far too slow".

Well, when was "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq? May 1st 2003! If the Russian pull-out is going at a snail's pace, then the USA's is like continental drift.

It has been said that George Bush doesn't know the meaning of the word "hypocrisy" - but then again he doesn't know the meaning of most words.

Pure genius mixed with common sense

Gulf 'dead zone' suffocating fish and livelihoods

So why is oxygen disappearing from fishing waters in the Gulf of Mexico? The answer, scientists say, is found hundreds of miles to the north, up the Mississippi River in corn country.

Farmers in Iowa and across the Midwest use tons of nitrogen and phosphorous to make their cornfields more productive, which allows the farmers to take advantage of high corn prices resulting from growing demand from ethanol factories and developing countries.

Response stolen from Mike Rivero of whatreallyhappened.com. because I could not put it better myself:

So, let us recap.

Ethanol is sold to us on the claim that it is "carbon neutral" (which it isn't when you add in the emissions form the processing itself), and therefore a way to deal with the crisis-de-jour, human-caused global warming (at a time when the Earth's temperature is actually in decline). Since ethanol contains less energy than an equivalent amount of gasoline, drivers must buy and burn more of it to drive the same distance, which means it is actually more expensive per mile than gasoline. Plus, Germany has just banned ethanol because they discovered it actually damages the fuel system on cars designed to run on gasoline, thereby driving up the cost of car repairs (and the carbon output from the factories that make those spare hoses and gaskets).

As a side effect of turning corn into ethanol, food prices went through the roof. Crop surpluses vanished, and as a consequence, weather and flood-induced food shortages occurred right here in the United States.

And now we find out that the run-off from all this intensified corn farming is creating oxygen-free dead zones, killing off another source of food, deep ocean fish.

So what we have here is a media hoax used to sell us a product that we did not really need that costs more and does more harm to the world than the non-existent crisis supposedly did.

It sounds good in Al Gore's TV Commercials, but it has not been thought out very well. It may be good public relations, but it is not good science.

But then, snake oil never is.

Hey Mike, How about this one...The bigger picture?

I have been increasingly concerned, when reading various forums and bulletin boards at the level of ignorance displayed regarding the Russian intervention in Georgia... People claiming that this is a dark return to Soviet invasions and an expansion westwards of the evil soviet empire....

Oh dear. I guess these people get their news exclusively from the mainstream media.

Here are but two examples that stand out.

1. "We should finish what we started in world war two and go in and finish those Russians once and for all." Ignoring the fact that Russia was on OUR side in World War 2 and the 10 MILLION troops they lost to Hitler's army was critical to the allied victory, without which this Blog would be in German. Any call to attack a Russia that still has 6000 nuclear weapons is plain suicide.

2. "When Georgia gets a US backed puppet in power, those Russians won't be invading her anymore." OK, It is the fact that the current President of Georgia IS an American puppet and launched a genocide against Russian nationals in an American backed sneak attack that CAUSED this current crisis.

The mainstream media has been woeful and rediculously inept at truthful reporting about what really happened. That is why I get my news from a very wide range of sources. News items from all over the world, east, west , north and south, bulletin boards and forums devoted to those with inside knowledge of international geo-political events, newsgroups of the same. etc etc...

Speaking of what really happened.

I get some of my news from an excellent resource online called whatreallyhappened.com. This site has a slight bias against Israel, sure, but the news on the site is generally rather accurate. It is from this site that I discovered how much Israel was involved in the Georgian incursion into South Ossetia. Mike Rivero is the site's owner and has a marvelous instinct for what is happening. He also has a descernment that is very rarely wrong. (He hasn't fallen for the "no plane hit the pentagon" nonsense for example).

So here's the thing Mike, Israeli and American "advisers" were in Georgia, training the Georgian troops to carry out urban clearances. They utilised the American experience of Iraq and the Israeli experience of dealing with Palestinian areas to train the Georgians in the same techniques. Georgia then invaded South Ossetia to deal with the pesky seperatists in the same way Israel deals with Palestine. Why?

Here is my take on this. Bigger picture... Israel is in the advanced stages of preparations for an attack on Irans nuclear facilities. (NOT weapons facilities, as NO international body, intelligence agency or anyone else has found ANY evidence that such facilities exist) The Iranian nuclear facilities are supported by Russian expertise in the form of many Russian nuclear experts. Russia has told the world loudly and proudly (though completely ignored by the western mainstream media) that they retain the right to use nuclear arms pre-emptively against any nuclear threat to them or their interests, ie Irans nuclear programme. Russia has made it clear that they will act to protect Russian nationals.

If Israel is planning to launch nuclear attacks against the Iranian nuclear facilities, and those facilities contain many Russian nationals, What will Russia's response be? I think that Israel were using this attack to gauge Russia's commitment to Russian nationals in the face of a threat to Russian national interest. IF Israel was wondering if Russia's words are mere bluster, I guess that they now have their answer writ large in the form of the rapid and heavy defeat of the Israeli trained Georgian army.

Had the attack gone to plan, I posit that South Ossetia would be under Georgian control, Thousands more Russians would be dead, most people in the west would never have heard of South Ossetia as the mainstream media would have ignored this genocide completely and Isreal would be giving the all-clear to attack Iran with nuclear bunker busters.

What do you think Mike?

Update: I was right...

Russia has crushed the Georgian upstarts and have ceased military operations WITHOUT annexing the country. They said that they had no intention to annex or destroy Georgia, nor did they plan even the regime change that America keeps attempting in various countries around the world.

This has been a remarkably restrained intervention by Russia. They did what they set out to do and removed the Georgian threat from the nominally independent regions of South Ossetia and Abkahzia.

The western media's constant bias and lies have been a source of deep embarrassment. America has been made to look foolish for provoking this war in the first place, then been shown to be utterly impotent to act in any way during it, and then being proven wrong on Russia's intent. Russia bitch-slapped Georgia into place inside 4 days. Hopefully Georgia will NEVER become a member of NATO now and I am utterly appalled at David Cameron's desire to speed up that process. Cameron is an ignorant fool and a puppet of the same Rothschild's new world order that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was pleading with the west to protect.

I hope that the peace in Georgia can be achieved with the swift removal from power of the butcher and child killer, Saakashvili. and I hope to see him stand trial for crimes against humanity.

The human evolution...

This crisis in Georgia is a time for reflection. A time to make a choice.

The Georgian President has called for international aid to defend the future world order. This is clearly a call to defend the Rothschild sphere of influence and their plans for a unipolar world order.

This is not good for humanity. We are facing the possibility that the world could change massively in a very short time. Whose side are you going to be on? Think long and hard about this.

If you said American, or Russian, or any other nation - then you could be calling for the destruction of humanity.

I recommend being on the side of peace and humanity and self.

"There is NO road to peace, peace IS the road" - Ghandi.

The Russian retaliation against western backed aggression is a necessary evil to stop the new world order in its tracks. Now each of us should visualise how this will play out peacefully with humanity emerging as the winner.

My take on the Georgia vs Russia thing?

I say thing, because (to paraphrase the late great Bill Hicks) you need TWO sides for it to be a war. the Georgians have crumbled.

My take on it? Well, it transpires that the USA and Israel were training the Georgian forces to destroy those pesky South Ossetian separatists. Using techniques perfected against Iraqi insurgents, Afghan tribes and Palestinians. The Georgians used the cover of a supine international media, distracted by the launch of the Olympics, to start a brutal war crime against civilians. This is NOT Russian propaganda as there are videos on youtube of independent witnesses, some American, describing their personal witness to the crimes against humanity that the Georgian military, backed up by American, Isreali and Ukranian mercenaries committed. Well over a thousand civilians killed in cold blood. Men, women, children, the elderly and the ill were blown to bits by hand grenades and rockets.

Jewish Georgian minister, Temur Yakobshvili: Thanks to Israeli training, we're fending off Russia

Temur should think again, look out of his window and see the thousands of Israeli trained troops deserting and going home. The mistake made by the Georgians (in reality the Washington puppets) was to treat the South Ossetians like the Israelis treat the Palestinians, and expect only a Palestinian style response. They should have treat the South Ossetians like the Russians, then they may have thought twice before biting a huge bear on the ass and hoping that it would not notice.

The west has absolutley ZERO credibility to tell Russia to stop and withdraw. Time and again the west has interfered in the internal politics of former soviet republics. The west broke up Serbia and granted independence to Kosovo without ANY consideration for the Serbians or the Russians. Outside of the former soviet republics, The west invaded and still occupies Iraq and Afghanistan. The west launched "SHOCK AND AWE" killing thousands of civilians on the deliberate lie of WMD and links to Al Queda. A lie that the Whithouse had to manufacture a faked letter to support. They spouted the lie also based on what they knew was another faked letter about yellowcake Uranium from Niger. When the administration had to rely on what they knew at the time were faked documents to support their invasion, it is clear that they were deliberately and knowingly, with malice aforethought, conspiring to use deliberate lies to provide a reason to illegally invade a sovereign nation. They knew that the letter linking Saddam to Al-Queda was fake, because THEY FAKED IT!)

The hypocracy and the stench coming from the west and the western mainstream media is revolting. America miscalculated on this BIG TIME, like they did in pushing Israel to invade Lebanon in 2006. The Israelis had their asses kicked big time in Lebanon, and the Georgians are having their sorry asses handed to them on a plate now.

To any other American ally thinking of doing America's bidding by attacking one of your neighbours.... Look at what happened to the Israelis and Georgians. Tell America to fuck the hell off!

Let us hope that the Russians secure their objectives quickly, with minimal loss of life and then they can withdraw. They have stated many times in the last few days that they only seek to make Georgia safe for Russians. That they do NOT intend to annexe Georgia. ONLY time can tell if this is true. I hope and pray that it is.

Now this is what PISSES me Off!!!

Primates 'face extinction crisis'

Now this is what pisses me off. People hark on about global warming and the gas CO2. With no evidence to back up their theories, they spout alarmist nonsense all over the media. Yet when there is a REAL ecological crisis, happening now, on a greater scale than the 'global was warming but it has now stopped' so-called crisis, what do we get? Fuck All!!!

The tropical deforestation is:

A) real.
B) tangible.
C) measurable.
D) causing actual mass extinctions.
E) causing CO2 in the atmosphere to increase more rapidly.
F) curable.

Unlike the (so called) global warming, this is something that we ARE responsible for and that we CAN do something about!

Whenever anyone mentions cars or flights as being inherantly evil, remind them of deforestation.
