[international currency] what chance

Interesting report in Pravda:

US President Barack Obama has publicly opposed Russia’s initiative for the first time during his presidency. Obama rejected Russia’s idea to replace the dollar with a new international currency, which immediately led to the growth of the US dollar on the international financial market.

Russia put forward a suggestion to the IMF to look into the opportunity to create a supernational reserve currency which would be issued by international financial institutions. Russia also suggested a diversification of the currency structure of reserves, operations of national banks and international financial organizations.

Many countries, including Iran, China, Kazakhstan and several Arab states, supported Russia’s idea to replace the dollar with a new currency. The governments of those countries believe that the doubtful dollar settlement in the oil industry will soon become a matter of the past.

Now what's happening with the rouble and does Russia mean the Euro or the world currency currently being mooted?

[thought for the day] the love of conflict

“Well,” said Mr Satterthwaite slowly, “you see, I've known a good many young men, and these emotional scenes upset them very much.

Women now, can go through a scene like that and feel positively better for it afterwards. It acts like a safety valve for them, steadies their nerves down and all that. But I can see this young man going away with his head in a whirl, sick and miserable …”

[anomalies] the pain of correcting them

We were discussing the ridiculous moment where the small craft is caught between James Bond's transport plane and the rocky terrain. It just wouldn't happen like that.

This is also the reason that the editing of my texts has been such a pain.

Example. There is a character, Hugh who made a promise to a woman, Genevieve and then she disappeared off the scene. Meanwhile, a second woman, Nicolette, who has a boyfriend in a town, Melun, south of Paris, has ideas about this Hugh. Genevieve returns and the only solution is to introduce her to the boyfriend in Melun [although other things come in to complicate this].

Trouble was, they all grew up in Melun and so the odds were they might know one another anyway. Also, the two women are best friends and so he would most likely have been mentioned quite often. So it's an unlikely scenario to have to be introduced.

This involves going back and redoing the plot, which then affects action further down the line which depends on them being introduced and not having known each other and so on and so on and so on.

This is not the same as gaffs, of course, which can be deliberately left in. Do you recall, in The Bourne Ultimatum, how when he limps at the end, it's on a different leg to earlier?

My mate speaks of 'suspending disbelief' during the film or book in order to follow the action through to its conclusion. If you see the glaring anomaly during the action, you can be so annoyed you'll stop watching or reading.

People say you need to suspend disbelief anyway with Bond but there are some things right OTT which you can accept and some which are minor technicalities which annoy.

[wisdom] does it require humility

It wasn’t just the emptiness of his daily aphorisms or even the messianic air that fills his blogspace like the smell of farts captured in an airtight room, it was the air of deep respect that the man seems to hold for his own wisdom.

Oblique comments like this make one stop and self-examine, 'Am I like that? For that matter, are you?'

[interim report] higham status report, late march

Green and pleasant land?


I don’t think anyone’s going to agree with all of this personal statement and some are going to be mightily offended.

Let me say, up front, here and now, ‘Pardon, Mesdames et Messieurs.’

This now could have been the worst time of my life, returning to a homeland which is in a shambles and finding no haven here, amongst a disillusioned and worried people, about to experience, in 2009-2012, a time most of them have never before experienced. In fact it’s been the most productive period in a long while and it would be nice if we could have a 25 hour day – that extra hour would come in handy. I thank my mate for making much of this possible although he’s probably wondering what he’s unleashed.


Beslan - caring and sharing


Moving on.

Don’t know about you but when women come into my life, any creativity, research or personal projects are put on hold for the nonce until she decides I’m impossible and moves on. In Russia, the women were fabulous but soaked up most of the available waking time and this was the main bone of contention between the love of my life and your humble blogger – that I wasn’t devoting enough attention to her needs.

Look, I don’t mind devoting well over half my sentient life to her if she loves me and it’s for a noble purpose like helping her realize her personal potential, helping her believe in herself; in my book, you should always get inside your woman’s head, erode her misconceptions about her inability and inner beauty and quietly support her every step of the way but she also has to support your upward journey and that’s the sticking point, isn’t it?


Time for some slaying


That was basically my working life in Russia with male and female alike and the greatest buzz was seeing him or her getting that job, landing that contract or making that speech. That, to me, is fulfilment plus and it drives your own pursuit of a higher state, in the time you’ve reserved for yourself.

But if devoting time, energy and one’s soul to a woman only results in a life still devoted to shopping, shoes, cosmetics, clubbing, sex, sun worshipping, home furnishings, money-wastage or other vacuous pursuits, then count me out. There are meatheads around who can fill that supporting role. Don’t get me wrong, I loved shopping with my lady and helping get her coordinated; dancing was also fine occasionally because it resulted in a better night in bed and I can discuss lipsticks and fragrances with any girl … but surely not as the objects of one’s life.


Magdalena - am I worthy of you?


Surely the object of your life should be improvement of the non-materialistic state of either your situation or that of the world about you and having a bit of fun along the way?

Perhaps I’m wrong in this.

Into this steps Sonus, with his bleak exposé of where we truly are headed. I’m going to run a personal critique of his articles sometime next week but suffice to say that those six essays are a tour de force … although he refuses to take the next step.


Enigma


As he said himself, in Part 6:

Readers.

An evil presence, alien to all our perceived sense of “rightness” has its hands on our throat. We are all guilty of being asleep at the wheel …

One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people.

He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?

The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’


False messiah


Sonus should have added:

‘Therefore evil will win because it is the easier path, dead easy in fact. It’s easier to drop back into, it’s more attractive in its immediate benefits but it’s ultimately self-destructive for the psyche.’

He would say we all need to understand and fight back against this perniciousness – this is what the articles were partly meant to achieve.

What he himself would well know is that the positive path to recovery has forever been cynically exploited by the enemy. Roosevelt’s ‘all we need fear is fear itself’ and ‘happy days are here again’, reprised by Reagan later, was music to an abused population’s ears.

Not many wish to read the key message from this blog or to wade through Sonus because we deal with difficult concepts such as the snuffing out of real hope. Research Roosevelt, dig deeper than the Wiki bio and you discover a man who called in gold in response to a troubled time of his own backers’ choosing and set in concrete the fiat system. You discover a man who was anything but the godsend most Americans still believe him to have been. Ditto Obama although there are people who at least see through him.


Beloved landscape


There’s no such thing as a free lunch, a messiah in a materialistic mould or truth in clipped off sentences such as, ‘Yes we can.’

Yes we can what?

Yes we can stand by and install our destroyer in office in a landslide and then maintain him there, mesmerized by the Pied Piper spell of charisma and the early charm of wife Cherie or Michelle?

Narrow is the path and rocky is the way to genuine truth and good, rising ever upwards, forever branching off into other paths which lead back down to the super-highway to Gehenna, which the majority of mankind is hell bent on, as Chris Rea warned the world, led by this Pied Piper who mesmerizes them into believing it is actually the upwards path towards truth and enlightenment.

Go to a gym and watch a newbie press 30kg of iron, avoiding those last excruciating pushes which actually make the difference, then go over to the mirror, flexing his muscles to see if they’ve grown any. Go to America and see people taking pills for fatness and well-being instead of getting off the processed food, getting off the butt, stepping out and exercising.


One of Them


Even look at Christians, the genuine ones I mean, not the armed Crusaders of the bible belt and you’ll find find Pre-tribbers amongst them.

Do you know what these are?

They believe that the True Believers will be taken up before the Tribulation begins, that they won’t need to experience any discomfort, which in fact is a synonym for the real American dream – insulation against the vicissitudes of life.

There’s bad news for them.

Just as JC Himself did, in fact, experience unpleasantries, just as Peter, Paul and a host of devotees also did, so the real Christian is also going to suffer in some way, albeit in a less extreme manner in most cases. The third person in the trinity just makes it all the more possible to bear, that’s all.

Stripped of all its eco-speak and corporate jargon, the battle we face right now is no more nor less than the age old one - the fundamental battle between good and evil.

Where Sonus and I differ is that he sees evil [pardon if I have this wrong] as an internal battle within the self, which it certainly is, even on a daily basis. Whether your personal demons are simply the dark side of your personality or whether they are real demons you unwittingly invited in through your naivety, is the point at issue.


Mary and Child


Poirot said to Jacqueline, a woman co-planning a murder, in Death on the Nile:

‘Don’t open your heart to evil, Mademoiselle because if you do, it will surely come and make its home in there.’

The corollary being, of course, that it will be impossible thence to remove it.

However, to have this inside you still does not preclude the fact that there may also be an independent, sentient presence behind it all, a force whose essential shape I neither know nor wish to know but it’s possible to see its fruits. One of its names is i-h-a- and it is legion. To the adepts, the 32nd degrees and the like, it’s as real as the keyboard in front of you now.

Sonus accepts the presence of an outside force at work, trying to disable the economic basis of society rather than just the chance cyclical appearance of downturns as part of the economist’s model and he’s correct.

It’s simple and yet seemingly impossible to go one step further and examine George Bush Snr’s ‘1000 points of light’ to see what arcane mysteries he is actually referring to and whence the concept is derived.

But this is getting into whacko territory, isn’t it? And economic writers are not of this mindset.


Wonder what he makes of the state of affairs?


What if I allege that evil does exist outside of the self, an independent entity which organizes things and appears from time to time, e.g. in Kashmir, in Nairobi, in many places, also residing in the UN building. Mick Jagger was able to grasp the concept in 1969.

This is the first major obstacle which anyone who wishes to know the answer to the question, ‘Why?’ must overcome. If you don’t actually know the full horror of what you’re up against, you have no chance of coming to terms with it.

Read Ephesians 6:12 again.

This sentient presence can be seen in the concepts of duality and the inversion of the natural order – black becoming white and white becoming black. And the white is not white at all but a kaleidoscope of colours, each of which suits its book at the time. Tolkien alluded to this in the colours of Saruman’s cloak and in his honeyed voice of plausibility.

It perverts symbols.

What people know as the swastika is a symbol of good, historically; the star of David is a symbol of good, the pentagram is a symbol of good. It’s just that the enemy has prostituted these symbols.

It’s prostitutes sexuality. If the penis is designed for the vagina, it now goes in the anus.

It prostitutes worship. If the proper recipient of devotion should be your maker, it becomes money instead. If the proper recipient of your love should be your family, it becomes your mistress instead.

It prostitutes our children. Look at the Common Purpose aim with children, the new state mentoring which actually exists, even now, the decades of nobbling of our education system. Just look at what that system is producing today! I’m getting angry just thinking of what socialist teachers who should never have been allowed within light years of children are teaching them.

It’s relativistic.


We, the people


It’s all part of the process of white-anting the society and stripping away its ability to cope, whilst genuinely believing it is ushering in an era of tolerance and love. Look around at the tolerance and love it’s produced in our community at this very moment.

Here is Gordo’s dream in action but of course, he blames outside influences, the failure of a ‘free market economy’ which never existed.

On the other hand, the white caps are still on the waves out there on the sea, the ships are still passing and life in Britain can still be picturesque. The flat’s lovely and warm, the food’s scrumptious and the Mac is still working for now.

Have a lovely Sunday.

Amen.

[footwear] the first decision of the gentleman



It’s just taken as read that the first item a man should take care of is his shoes and for a woman – a number of items, including her handbag.

As Suit Swagger says:

The importance of men's dress shoes in an outfit must not be overlooked. Many a man has adorned himself with the finest of clothing, most fragrant of colognes, and most stunning and dashing of high-end cufflinks.

Only to tarnish the entire image with run down, cheaply made or ill-matched footwear.

And Forbes agrees:

"Men let themselves down on their shoes," says Lynne Marks, an Atlanta-based image consultant and president of the London Image Institute, whose corporate clientele includes executives at Coca-Cola (nyse: KO - news - people ), American Express (nyse: AXP - news - people ), AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ) and the Weather Channel. "They either don't think that shoes are important, or they seem to think that shoes can't be seen. Either way, it's a big mistake."

What kind? Suit Swagger again:

Always pay attention to the material the dress shoe is made of. One of the finest materials men's dress shoes can be made of is calf-skin, which is durable yet supple, breathable yet insulating, and can hold a nice shine.

Suede is a favorite selection of many of the world's fine-dressers, which in brown goes with almost anything, they hold a superior elegance about themselves, they are extremely comfortable and make the feet appear smaller because of their matted surface.

Cordovan, which is not a skin but a membrane from the rear of a horse, is the most durable leather of all, but its warmth makes it more of a cold weather shoe.

Avoid "corrected grain" leathers that have been scraped, sanded, and bathed in chemicals to create a plastic-looking fake perma-shine, they look cheap and cheesy.

Forbes has a slide show on the best shoes to buy.

In the case of men, there isn't really more to dress life than shoes.

[sonus] understanding issues: part 6

This is the concluding article by Sonus in his series on what bedevils us as a society at the current time, its antecedents and implications for the future. I would dearly love to see an attempted, detailed fisking of this series and Sonus’s reply to that.

So far, I can only conclude that he is cannot be gainsaid.

Part 5 of this series can be read here.



Lets get straight into it!

Further Reading/Watching.

Two

Three

Four

MY CONSPIRACY THEORY, THAT OTHERS FAIL TO COMPREHEND, PROBABLY INTENTIONALLY AS IT WOULD ROCK THEIR BOAT, FINALLY GETS PUBLICITY FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.

THE SOONER THIS UNDERSTANDING GAINS MOMENTUM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC, THE SOONER THESE BLATANT CRIMINALS ARE JAILED, THE BETTER! THE EVIDENCE OF CONSPIRACY IS CRYSTAL CLEAR.

And an indication for the future, - IN THE UK TOO.

In a earlier part, I mentioned “Interest Rate Swaps”. Rob Kirby recently penned an article, further incriminating Greenspan in the financial collapse.

The Fiat system was showing signs of failure in many areas, and as I explained in a previous section, the Fiat owners would do anything, including the sacrifice of the wealth of the nation, to save “their” system. Once again the usual banking culprits are involved. This came in addition to the “Plunge Protection Team”, mentioned in part 3. JPM was authorised under National Security, via Negroponte. A very opaque communique was issued.

Over to Rob.

Fed mismanagement has corrupted the entire US financial system.

And remember who holds all the Gold derivatives. But the CFTC can't investigate, - “National Security”!

My ass! - - JPM, a Fed proxy, acts with impunity to distort the GLOBAL Financial system.

In Part 5, written 10 days ago, I discussed the replacement of the Dollar as the Global Reserve Currency, and positions that would be taken by the various actors.

Here is the Russian position going into the April G7 meeting. They are clearly pissed with the US.

And China agrees with Russia. Concern over the value of the Dollar increases as the Fed engages in Quantitative Easing.

Now this information is dated, BUT, take a look at the list of members of the CFR and the Trilateral Commission.

Note Volker, note the Wall Street presence, note the military, the media coverage, (yup, even Sesame Street!). This is TOTAL Deepcapture. Total control. You only know what they want you to know.

Most of all, read the notes towards the bottom of the article. Read and weep, again!

And a quote from the final few paragraphs :-

"In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position." --Zbigniew Brzezinski, CFR member and founding member of the Trilateral Commission, and National Security Advisor to five presidents.

"The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities." –Zbigniew Brzezinski

"[There must be] some dilution of sovereignty, to the immediate disadvantage of those nations which now possess the preponderance of power ... the establishment of a common money, might be vested in a body created by and responsible to the principal trading and investing people. This would deprive our government of exclusive control over a national money." --John Foster Dulles, CFR founder, former Secretary of State, 1939

"There must be a thoroughgoing reform of the world monetary system ... For its part, I can assure you, the United States will continue to rise to its world responsibilities, joining with other nations to create and participate in a modern world economic order." --President Richard Nixon, CFR member, 1972”

And add in :-

“This regionalisation is in keeping with the Trilateral Plan, which calls for a gradual convergence of East and West, ultimately leading toward the goal of one world government. National Sovereignty is no longer a viable concept”. - Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter.

The dates on these quotes and details in the closing paragraphs not quoted here, identify an intention to dominate the World, via a New World Order, that is almost 100 years in planning. The CFR mention a ruling elite, and a desire for secrecy and un-attributable news, a demand that the “public” remain in ignorance of their intent. This will NOT BE DEMOCRACY, it will be post democracy, financially controlled, minutely controlled, chipped populations, as Nick Rockefeller stated in the youtube linked to previously.

Brown in the UK is not acting alone with RFID chips and data bases here, there, and every where, he is following the original CFR script, written by Zbigniew Brzezinski decades ago.

Tell me that is not a global conspiracy for total micro control and personal monitoring! (currently, 25% of global CCTV cameras are sited in the UK! To monitor 1% of the global population!)

A further quote from the above link :-

“By Charles Overbeck (PSCPirhana) Matrix Editor

The Council on Foreign Relations, housed in the Harold Pratt House on East 68th Street in New York City, was founded in 1921. In 1922, it began publishing a journal called Foreign Affairs. According to Foreign Affairs' web page (http://www.foreignaffairs.org), the CFR was founded when "...several of the American participants in the Paris Peace Conference decided that it was time for more private American Citizens to become familiar with the increasing international responsibilities and obligations of the United States."

The first question that comes to mind is, who gave these people the authority to decide the responsibilities and obligations of the United States, if that power was not granted to them by the Constitution. Furthermore, the CFR's web page doesn't publicize the fact that it was originally conceived as part of a much larger network of power.

According to the CFR's Handbook of 1936, several leading members of the delegations to the Paris Peace Conference met at the Hotel Majestic in Paris on May 30, 1919, "to discuss setting up an international group which would advise their respective governments on international affairs."

The Handbook goes on to say:

"At a meeting on June 5, 1919, the planners decided it would be best to have separate organizations cooperating with each other. Consequently, they organized the Council on Foreign Relations, with headquarters in New York, and a sister organization, the ROYAL INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, IN LONDON, ALSO KNOWN AS THE CHATHAM HOUSE STUDY GROUP, TO ADVISE THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. (Tavistock Institute). A subsidiary organization, the Institute of Pacific Relations, was set up to deal exclusively with Far Eastern Affairs. Other organizations were set up in Paris and Hamburg..."

(Emphasis, and Tavistock Institute, mine)

Explore the following links and their holding websites at your leisure.

So what organisation, among many, works according to Chatham House rules, has advised the UK Government, well nulab, since they were elected, and which is openly working towards a “post democratic” organised society?

Common Purpose!, and who was involved with Common Purpose at its inception? Geoff Mulgan. And which organisation did he represent at that point? Demos!

Who, or what was/is Demos? Demos is a creation of the Fabian Society, and Mulgan, via Demos was special advisor to T Blair. Yes him again, he who currently is employed by J P Morgan! (CFR represented)

And who is Mulgan? Ex LSE lecturer. And who were the original founders of LSE? The Fabian Society.

Who funded Demos, and Common Purpose? The Office of Deputy Prime Minister, ODPM, bruiser, and secretary shagger, Prescott. The ODPM also set up Regional Assemblies in line with EU prescribed geographical organisation structures, their links with local business that reek of moral hazard, and the local slush funds ermm, Regional Development Agencies, to guide finance into local projects, which once again reek of moral hazard. (Split 'em up in separate hierarchies so they can't organise resistance, then bribe 'em so they won't. Classic moves! Tried and tested.)

And all to comply with the EU, and the greater plan for the world and the new self anointed leaders.

And remember the link given previously.

It all becomes one great global organisation, consolidating power on its own terms.

And so we go full circle. Demos is now quietly advising Labour, Conservatives, and LibDems, - there is no difference between them, and no point in voting for them, and that is why they hate the BNP and the Libertarian party.

Mulgan wrote a book “The Invisible Hand Remaking Charities in the 21st Century”, and recently Miliband introduced legislation into the house that would allow charities to become politically active. There are 170,000 charities in the UK, turning over £44B pa. Clearly a problem. Thankfully the attempt failed, but you can see the direction of pressure!

The Media Standards Trust adjudicates on reports and complaints about media bias.

Look at the list of trustees. Sir David Bell (Chairman, Financial Times Group) is also Common Purpose, -( link below). Robert Peston is also Common Purpose, but he wouldn't want you to know;) The best part is that they share premises with Common Purpose, same rooms, and Common Purpose provides their IT functions.

Represented are, Anthony Salz (Executive Vice Chairman, NM Rothschild) , and Charles Manby (Goldman Sachs) , and best of all, Deputy Chair Julia Middleton (CEO, Common Purpose) .

Common Purpose have clearly got the Media Standards Trust sown up! So when you make a complaint about the BBC bias, who do you think gets to know? They compile lists. Common Purpose graduates in local authorities and other state bodies are also building lists of enquirers under the Freedom of Information Act! What an excellent way to acquire schedules of dissenters!

And Given the CP overwhelming representation, will the adjudication be impartial? Think of the banal justifications presented by the BBC in their answers!

Then look at Common Purpose details.

Common Purpose have progressed since I last looked. Notice the international banks there, Stock Exchanges, Bundesbank, Goldman Sachs, Irish Banks, Dutch Bank, AIG, National Treasury South Africa,

So we go full circle again. Goldman Sachs, (on both), AIG, Anthony Salz (Executive Vice Chairman, NM Rothschild)

This is really interesting.

There are a smattering of CFR names there too, and Bilderberg names too.

The net closes. - - - On us.

This blogsite is a mine of information, note the Toynbees, Rothschilds, Lords of the Realm, Royal Family, and mention of the creation of The Federal Reserve Banking System!

WOW!

Similar organisations are working to corrupt our children. This is a data base on CP. Click on your own area to find what's going on.

Click on “Mind Control” to learn what they are doing/intending to do to our children

Now I'm getting kinda angry!

And especially for my Honoured Friend who lives over in Sheffield, look at this list, which shows the degree of CP penetration in Sheffield.

Tell your son!!!


This is a prime example of a dysfunctional City.


Again, tell your son!! And remember, the courses/qualifications listed in the right-hand column of the graduate list were paid for out of council tax funds, taxpayer funds. Paid to a charity that has occupied Government offices just off The Moor, rent free, no lease, no agreement, for probably the last four years.

And you wonder why council taxes are going up, and services going down, and a monumental effort to criminalise everyone for minor infractions of “their” mindless rules, - - you have the answer, CP rules forced through,mandated centrally by nulab/EU politburo! Control!

And that is just one City!

Previously I linked to Nick Rockefellers hint to Aaron Russo concerning the future 9/11, and the use of RFID chips linked to Gov't data bases.

John D Rockefeller 3rd presented a cheque for $8,500,000 to Trygve Lie, first Secretary of the United Nations on 25th March, 1947. The cheque was to purchase land in Manhattan on which to build the UN building. Working through the CFR that they created, the Rockefeller family has been at the forefront of the drive to create a world government based on the principles of socialism and feudalism. They are in no doubt that they will succeed.

David Rockefeller, who lives at 146, 65th Street, between Lexington and 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, was the founder of CFR, and Trilateral Commission. He wrote a book in 2002, titled “Memoirs”. On page 405 he wrote.

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions.

Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it,"

This is the family dynasty involved in funding the Grain store in the Arctic Circle mentioned earlier, who now push for natural seeds to be made illegal, whose co-conspirators predicted 9/11, and who plan the global use of RFID chips implanted in humans. How much clearer does it have to be? The only thing preventing mass realisation of this conspiracy is not the conspirators themselves, they are brazen, they don't hide their intentions, it is the mass incredulity of the general population.

Note that he accuses those who expose him as being “idealogical extremists”. Tried and tested techniques don't wash anymore, David!

Quotation. “The more we do to you, the less you believe we do to you”. Josef Mengele, Auschwitz POW Camp, Germany. “The Angel of death”

Let's go a short way back in history, and recall the video that you watched in Part I, about the history of Banking in the US:-

We are reminded of Morton’s words,

"Today the family grooms the inaudibility and invisibility of its presence, and as a result some believe that little is left apart from a great legend - and the Rothschilds are quite content to let legend be their public relations."

Behind the creation of the European Union is the Bilderberg Group, the deeply secretive cartel of leading bankers, heads of transnational corporations, politicians, academics and "opinion formers", media bosses and military chiefs.

The Bilderberg Group is part of a network including:

1. the Royal Institute of International Affairs (UK) Yes, them again, - see above!
2. the Council of Foreign Relations (USA)
3. the Trilateral Commission (USA, Europe, Japan)

All working to a common agenda.

One of the main goals of the Bilderberg Group from its official formation at the Hotel Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Holland in May 1954, was to install a European super-state with a central bank and currency. The first chairman of the Bilderberg Group was Prince Bernhard of the Dutch royal family - a close friend and associate of Britain's Prince Philip, another Bilderberg attendee.

A former Bilderberg chairman is the former Secretary-General of NATO and British Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington, a good friend of the Rothschild family, and long time Bilderberger Henry Kissinger. Prince Bernhard was a major influence behind the creation of the Bilderberg Group and the European Community - now the European Union - along with the Pole, Joseph Retinger. Retinger co-initiated the original Bilderberg conference in 1954, and was its Secretary until his death in 1960.

Also involved were infamous American Elite front-men like the Rockefellers, Averell Harriman and the Dulles brothers.

(So the Bilderberg membership of Prince Philip, and Lizzy's family lineage, explains Lizzy's speedy signing of the Lisbon Treaty, never reported in the UK press, but splashed all over the French Press., - Saxe- Coburg-Gotha - family name from Queen Victoria's Germanic consort, Prince Albert, that was altered in 1917 to the House of Windsor. Even the person we knew as Lord Mountbatten changed the family name at that time, from the Germanic “Battenberg”, - he was Lord of the Admiralty at the time.)

The European Union we see today has been designed from the very beginning by those who control the Bilderberg Group - the House of Rothschild, the Rockefellers.

Note on this listing the presence of Greenspan, and Monsanto.

And this PDF covers the 2008 Bilderberg meeting in the USA.

In the bottom right there is the list of attendees.

Bernanke, Geithner, Trichet, H M Queen of the Netherlands, Condoleezza Rice, David Rockefeller, McKillop - Royal Bank of Scotland, Merrill Lynch & Co, …....... And just look at the EU representatives.

So, CFR, Trilateral, meet Bilderbergers. These guys all know each other!

Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) Professor of History at Georgetown University, member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), mentor to Bill Clinton ,wrote a book, Tragedy and Hope.

(And just for good measure, “The Creature from Jekyll Island”, and “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” my previous recommendations are on the same link. All good reads)

Tragedy and Hope relates how an international network of financiers has created a system of financial control able to dominate the political systems of all countries through their central banks. He named names and produced meticulous documentation. Initially suppressed, the book is now available.

The international network of financiers is revealed as behind, and controlling the CFR, and the CFR being an outgrowth of the secret society formed by Cecil Rhodes.

As you can see, Tragedy and Hope is available on Amazon. It is some 1,300 odd pages, and not cheap. However, if any readers are “file sharers”, it is easily downloaded.

Prof Carroll Quigley also wrote about the parent of the CFR, the secret society of Cecil Rhodes.

This book is available on the net for download, “The Anglo American Society”, here.

Another good read, but as with all things, it takes time to assemble the patterns and names, and thus realise the significance in ones mind.

Readers.

An evil presence, alien to all our perceived sense of “rightness” has its hands on our throat. We are all guilty of being asleep at the wheel.

It learned its early lessons from the Rothschilds family machinations, financing both sides in European wars, as they had learned that wars were by far the most profitable lines of their business model. Where nations wanted peace, they hired agents that would create unrest, and provoke nations into wars. Many, many family fortunes are built on the blood of others. That is the way we are, as a species. Have we come past that, I wonder!

Once central banks were formed, and Fiat money (debt) was issued, the financing of European wars was easy. Absent the third party financing of local warlords, which enlarged the field and reasons for conflict by many orders of magnitude, would the world today be different?

All we can say is that once Fiat currencies became acceptable and the debts created could be thrown onto the shoulders of the taxpayers, rather than the instigators, war became almost perpetual. The instigators could now wage war with personal impunity. The Bank of England was formed to fund a war.

After that:-

1689 – 1697, - War of the League of Augsberg

1702 – 1713, - The War of Spanish Succession.

1739 – 1742, - The War of Jenkins Ear.

1744 – 1748, - The War of Austrian Succession

1754 – 1763, - The French and Indian War.

1793 – 1801, - The War against Revolutionary France.

1803 – 1815, - The Napoleonic Wars

Many stories exist concerning the Rothschilds which always gloss over the resultant brutalities created.

That evil presence now takes many forms, it is a hydra.

I have detailed in narrative, and links, and in references to “The Creature from Jekyll Island” the growth of a structure specifically designed to control the US political body, and by manipulating the economy via booms and busts, it and its associated banks have made vast profits. I have detailed how formulas perfected during the S&L crisis in the 1980s under Volker, were used in other nations to profit from the crashing of those nations economies. (Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.)

I have shown how the federal reserve and other central banks have manipulated the price of Gold, a key monitoring mechanism of economic health, and how this has resulted in the false lowering of interest rates, to hide inflation, and coincidently, not mentioned before, the lowering of interest rates crowds out of the market savings for investment purposes, and leaves the market open for credit (debt) issued from the central banks.

I have shown how the global trading system became unbalanced with debtor and creditor nations balances totally deformed. I have shown how the instability of this system was crashed deliberately by the very banks who would suffer from such a crash, knowing that ultimately the taxpayer would have to carry their losses.

I have shown how the CFR, and the Trilateral Commission and their major players are active in all these events, and have predicted major events in the recent history, in their efforts to recruit celebrities to the CFR. I have shown via the writings and speeches of a notable Fed Chairman the level of Frankenstein economics one engages in when employed at the Federal Reserve. I have shown how techniques developed in recent history are now being deployed to impoverish the middle class of the western G7 in the current financial tsunami, and channel taxpayer funds into institutions that are Federal reserve proxies for economic manipulations, where the Federal reserve took part in the original negotiations (and the Treasury was also represented), yet kept knowledge of counter-party identities away from public scrutiny.

I have shown US Gov't published documents describing the methodology used in looting the taxpayer to cover bank loses, written by Nobel winning eminent economics professors in 1994.

I have shown how the US government was complicit in stopping state-level legal action that would have prevented obscene, predatory lending practices, that caused the initial sub-prime trigger. So take a look at Obama influences in this area.

I have shown that the public figures responsible for oversight, all being members of the CFR, or Bilderbergers, or The Group of Thirty, have all sought to say that there was no way they could have predicted the current catastrophe, when in fact, as senior members of those organisations and as professionals they would have been acutely aware of the game plan and the approaching problems. The mere appointment of Bernanke, given his previous writings, confirms this.

I have shown how these bodies have linked through to European bodies, the ECFR, and pointed out significant names.

I have shown how Common Purpose has expanded to include Media related companies, how trustees have interlocked, and how trustees are now being appointed from the self same banks, whose executives are members of the CFR, now involved in the theft of taxpayers money via bailouts mandated by the very structures that they created decades ago. I have also shown how Common Purpose and related bodies with a history originating in perverse left wing, Marxist bodies, with links to mind control and brain-washing exploitation methods, are now instrumental in perverting the education of our children, and also perverting their minds.

I have shown how CP, Demos, and other similar organisations were funded by, and are creatures of, the UK Government.

The details of the nulab political perversions in and of the UK society are covered well by other blogs which I am sure you are all aware of. I have tried to put the current tsunami into a Global, or at least, an international, context, because the nature of the threat is truly international.

I had recognised in the past that Common Purpose had a strangle hold on the UK which was unlikely to be defeated. Now that Demos is advising all 3 political parties, the Marxist subversion of the UK is almost complete However, I am very alarmed at the international expansion rate of Common Purpose, and the ties it now has with international finance.

Communism, in its many disguises did not die in the nineties, it had been quietly germinating in the West since the early 1900s, in the bodies I have listed. It is alive and thriving in nulab, the BBC, and in all state bodies. Its vile tentacles now infest our lives at every level, particularly in directives coming in swift staccato from the EU politburo, which I am sure you are aware of. Just examine the links provided.

You may ask why international finance would finance socialism in any form. Socialism, in its extreme forms, and right wing fascism, are almost identical. Remember that Hitler's party was the National Socialists, but it was Fascist. The answer is control. The fomenting of wars gets increasingly dangerous as weapons become more efficient., and democracies are not easily controlled, and elections every few years require a lot of planning to control. I note that in the EU, whatever elections may, or may not be held, the results will be irrelevant, as the parties seeking election have no EFFECTIVE votes, they merely seek entry into a vast gravy train. If a society can be taxed and controlled easily, then profits accrue just as easily, particularly as more revenue streams are opening up. Hence the moves involving personal monitoring and control.

Gee Whizz.

Now the Fed organises the Gang Rape of US taxpayers while it waves 2 fingers to the G20 agreement, before the ink has dried.

Well, these banks need dry ammunition for when the time comes to repurchase beaten down assets. It's all in the plan.

However the clock is ticking.

Brown continues with his Orwellian take-over and mind control.

And thinkers, while confirming my previous statements, try to assess the future.

Someone has to stop the madness of the CFR, but the world is a power game, the “Great Chess Board”. Who is to say that Putin, or Wen, is not a closet Zbigniew Brzezinski, if the constraints of US hegemony were to be removed.

Zbigniew Brzezinski regards the power moves as a game, as his book suggests, a game of chess. The closer ties of the US CFR, followed by CFR finance, with the European ECFR are disconcerting, and into the levels of CP and others involved in training, are doubtless part of an evolving plan, a plan of control. Is Brown part of that plan?, or is he following his own Fabian/Marxist goals? Would he be aware of Brzezinski plans?, would any of the major parties be aware? Are the opposition parties aware of CP, etc, penetration, and are they turning a blind eye.

My guess is that they are aware, given Demos penetration. They are therefore complicit, and that bodes evil for the future UK. Never forget that control, and the imposition of “security measures” are justified through our created fear of terrorism and society violence. And who ignited the Fear of Terrorism? And who ignited terrorism itself? And who creates society violence through 24/7 booze laws and other techniques already discussed?

You guessed correctly. Our government.

Terrorism is increased by US and UK aggression in the middle east, ongoing for more than a century, orchestrated by, you guessed it. Puppets of the CFR, and their precursors.

How logical is it, that governments that are intentionally creating terrorism, would rationally allow virtually unfettered immigration in whatever form, of nationals from countries where “terrorism” is rife, if there wasn't an underlying intent to destabilise their own populations??And then state that the department responsible, and its control systems were Not Fit For Purpose?

(Was 7/7 a false flag operation? Many think it was! That's for you. I choose not to go there.)

Well, the result would be a frightened population who would welcome restrictive “controls”.

In the face of enormous increases in unemployment in the private sector, the already bloated public sector just gets more bloated.

This is economic suicide.

And in a few years the lights go out.

Add in the detailed CP subversion of functioning institutions to create destabilised malfunctioning institutions, and the manipulation of the minds of children, and adults, control of the media, and you see a totally broken nation a few years down the line!

No sane group of humans can naturally make so many apparent mistakes as nulab. Individually in their lives, had members of this corrupt government made so many personal errors, they would not be where they are now, alive.

One is forced towards one of two conclusions.

It is a deliberate scorched earth policy by a coterie of politicians who have recognised the impossibility of their re-election.

Or

It is a deliberate policy to destroy the country, socially, financially, economically, for a very long period of time. On the face of it, that begs a further question, - Why?

Answer,

Here.

This filthy corrupt Fabian/Tavistock/Marxist piece of dung disguised as a “government”, has deliberately set out to destroy this country, socially, educationally, and economically, all in the name of creating what? Why, a piece of Dung, subservient to the EU/CFR politburo.

Blair, Brown, Mandy, Millipede*2, and your entire coterie of crap, you should all be hanged, and gutted, very slowly!

Bill Gross of Pimco is a US “establishment man”, and his clients have benefited greatly from his anticipation of bailouts, etc, over the last year. His anticipation has been accurate.

Recently he made what is for him an astonishing statement to his clients.

This is seminal in the progression of this crisis.

“May 22 (Bloomberg) -- Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Bill Gross said the U.S. underestimates inflation by at least 1 percent, making some emerging markets more attractive investment candidates.

Changes in the way the Bureau of Labour Statistics measures prices over the past 25 years have led to the understating of inflation, Gross, co-chief investment officer of Newport Beach, California-based Pimco, said in a commentary on the company's Web Site today. The Federal Reserve's focus on ``core'' instead of ``headline'' inflation has also helped understate the increase in prices, he said”.

ROFLMAO Exactly what I have been saying in these pages, - manipulated beyond belief. Now the real world intrudes on 25 years of fantasy. The same holds true for the UK.

“Welcome to the real world” - Morpheus, Matrix, to Neo, whose eyes were opened for the first time.

Knock, knock, Brown, Merv, are you listening?

Can you say, “Investor Capital Flight”?

And possible fed capitulation of JPM market positions, and bankruptcy of JPM?

Well, I think not, at least while the Fed lives.

“Pimco favours commodity-based assets and foreign equities that are denominated in currencies that demonstrate ``authentic'' real growth and inflation rates. Investors should shun U.S. Treasuries and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, or TIPS, because of their negative ``unreal'' yields as a result of ``artificially low inflation,'' he said.

``Investors might suddenly awake to the notion that U.S. inflation should be and in fact is closer to worldwide levels than previously thought,'' Gross said. ``Foreign holders of trillions of dollars of U.S. assets are increasingly becoming price makers, not price takers, and in this case the price may not be right.''

Emerging-market countries with economies similar to those of Brazil, Russia, India and China are ``obvious'' candidates for investment as inflation quickens, Gross said”.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Twenty five years of overstating GDP, understating true real world inflation, stealing from savers and taxpayers, cheating pensioners. Inflating equity prices, stock market bubbles. Deliberately crashing foreign economies, deliberately to steal crashed assets. Incessant foreign wars for raw materials.

Foreign governments are becoming price makers, and will no longer hold US (and UK) debt, as they WILL crash. Welcome to the third world.

Well said Bill. That's probably the first honest statement you've made in your career. The rats are leaving the ship.

-------------------------------------------------------

Today, as I write, it is the 21st/ March 22nd March, 2009.

Given the angle of the Earth's inclination to the plane of its orbit around the sun, and its' position in that orbit, now is an equinox. One of two days in the year when the day, and night, are exactly equal in length, time.

And the world as we know it is at a cross-roads.

Currently, the US, UK, Japan, and Switzerland are engaged in quantitative easing. Other nations may be quietly engaging in it, unannounced. It begins to resemble a race to the bottom. Last year a £ trillion quietly left the UK, causing a devaluation of the £ against the $, creating price inflation on imports.

The UK announced quantitative easing about a week before the US (well Bernanke announced it) announced it. Initially the £ fell against the $ on the UK announcement.

When the US announced quantitative easing, the $ fell against the £, reversing the previous move, reverting to roughly the exchange rates of three weeks ago.

(But gold reverted to previous levels against both currencies, whereas it should have been more expensive in terms of both currencies. JPM had a short position around $880, $890. The opening price on the day of the US QE announcement was $920, $930, ish. In the time before the announcement, gold was taken down to $885 ish, so that JPM could exit the short, and short covering in financials was also reported. Clearly insider knowledge, - JPM, - of Bernanke's announcement is very profitable!, and still “no change”, still the cabal, no over-sight, and so blatant! But then, it is “National Security”, after all! And the US expects foreign investors to trust it financially, Duh, - - quite the opposite!)

We are in uncharted waters, no-one has been here before, economists can build models, but no-one seems to agree.

The intention of QE is to inflate out of a deflationary spiral. The efficiency of QE largely depends on the efficiency of the “multiplier” effect, and this depends on the route that is used for QE.

The most efficient “multiplier” is the working man. He spends, (although initially he may save, or pay down debt in this environment) thus creating employment and bank deposits somewhere in the system, this, via fractional reserve lending is then multiplied (by ten in the model in an earlier part) and has an immediate effect on the economy, and quantity of circulating money. (the money in the bank, * ten is available for loan making, but this is dependent on new, stricter, loan criterior, and customer demand, so there is a time lag!)

To date, this method has not been used. Caution is the watch-word. The UK has chosen to purchase it's own guilts, and corporate bonds, where there is a significant time lag before effects are felt. They will look again in six months and decide how to use the second half of the £150 Bn.

Quantitative easing causes the devaluation of the currency, which in real world economics would tend to raise interest rates. The purchase by the UK of Guilts is designed to reduce interest rates at the long end, so exerting downward pressure on Mortgage interest rates, although the yield on the 10-year UK Gilt climbed 7bp to 3.02 per cent, even as the Bank of England continued to buy back government debt through its reverse auctions. Nevertheless the intention to reduce longer term interest rate has been successful.

And therein lies the difficulty. Without the interest rate increase it is difficult to attract foreign capital, and we need foreign capital because we run an obscene level Balance of Payments deficit, and an obscene Budget Deficit. There is thus the danger that the bank becomes the only purchaser of Debt, the “last chance saloon”. A circle that cannot be broken, a swift descent to the bottom, absent a vast increase in economic activity that leads to an export lead recovery. But export of what, and to whom? It is a global recession. They don't want bits of paper anymore! And Brown has deliberately ruined education and the economy for the last decade, and Mandy is screwing with manufacturing. I see no efforts to revive any decent manufacturing base, let alone a world class export attractive manufacturing base, it is beyond the comprehension of this moronic corrupt fabian government, who can't think beyond NVQs.

It is time we recognise Marxism for what it is, - the most dangerous theory of all time, that may now destroy Western Civilisation.

The more Byzantium could not cover its debts, the more it became aggressive against its own people. In the end it destroyed capitalism and freedom itself. Marx gave us the alternative to Capitalism, - Communism, that was just a false dream of Utopia, where everyone works for the government, and the government takes care of everyone, and in the process you not merely sell your soul, you give up your right to be an individual. The Western Culture has flirted with Marxism, because politicians say the power belongs to them. Socialism is no different, it still involved centralised planning of the economy that cannot be done by people who have never worked in the real world.

Putin was at the Chinese Olympics when he received the Georgia news. He turned and said, - Congratulations. Congratulations, I looked at the news feeds, and there is nothing, nothing. It's like the world doesn't know. - - or words to that effect. THAT is the power of the grip exerted globally on what we are allowed to know! And Putins statement spoke a thousand books.

The result is Putins position paper for the upcoming G20 in London, linked above. Georgia was an act of war, a financial war, and Putin will now demand his pound of financial flesh, as will Wen, and many other nations, now that the west is financially on its knees. Wen must be circumspect until divestment of $ denominated holdings is almost complete, hence the recent tsunami of Chinese senior leaders visits internationally.

Recently we had an FSA dance that is mostly pointless, aimed for headlines and public vengeance satisfaction. Banks and Hedge Funds are global animals. Brown crows about global solutions. All new FSA rules will do is create more sand in the cogs, more rings to jump through, more reasons not to. Oversight will be settled internationally, with a vengeance, resisted to the end by the US. If the FSA gets awkward, the Hedgies will register elsewhere.

AND NON OF THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN. But greed replaced common decency. The relevant authorities were complicit and aware. And that is their crime. Even at a late point the worst of what is yet to come could have been avoided by a global declaration on various derivatives, and the demand for capital backing, and their trading through transparent, FUNDED, exchanges, and an insurable interest. That did not happen, and still looks months away. The US, ie, the Fed will resist until their proxies are reimbursed. They could collapse the world.

Militarily, the US and UK are engaged in more drone strikes into Pakistan National Territory, clearly in breach of international law. Naturally indigenes become radicalised. That is their society. Is war to be the answer to this economic crisis? The CFR thinks so! Pakistan is a nuclear Muslim country, and this provocation is deliberate................

And internally, the cancer of CP and others, planted by Blair, is still expanding. Post democratic High Tech Feudalism.

Actually, crossroads does not describe the situation. Clusterfuck seems more appropriate. And my trust of the major players is negative.

Is the Russian, or the Chinese or the Indian, or the Thai, way better? Or Taiwan, or Singapore, for a “living in” society? Could this be written in their society?

Will we get better global leadership from a group of nations involved in a basket of currencies, or will nationalism prevail and prevent its smooth functioning. Will the US resist? Will there be more war? Constant committee infighting?

Is the UN competent? Will a strengthened UN (by whom) be better, less US centric? Would that be better? For whom?

Can the CFR, the ECFR, the EU, and etc, be shackled in their malevolent intentions towards their own populations? Will democracy be an obsolete concept? Is it now obsolete?

And oil is still being depleted. Yes, more slowly, but geology cannot be defeated.

But for the cost of all the wars for oil, how many Gigawatts of solar cells could each nation have in-place by now? And the value to society of that as an industrial base, against the current military industrial complex, is worth considering.

Or is the constant militarism a further way of ensuring a constant taxation drain on the wealth of the middle class, preventing them from the exploitation of that wealth, as the Report From Iron Mountain requires, intentionally creating no direct benefits?

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people.

He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?

The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’

And so, on this equinox, on this night, of equal night and day, I give you a message. This is not a refreshment break, please watch.

The Last Resort.

And here.

And here.

And James, I have a gift or three, for you. Enjoy. (Takes some time to load). A lead into time?

Don't forget to read them. Start with the smaller one if you wish, but read them.

[horror movie] thursday caption time

[false advertising] aren’t there laws about this

Have you ever taken apart a Gillette speed stick deodorant and observed how much actual product is in there and how much of the opaque container is taken up by the wormwheel?

Have you bought frozen pizza in a box, only to discover that the ‘deep fill’ base, ‘generously topped’ with pepperoni, as the pic on the box indicates, results in 93% dough, the rest made up of a wipe of tomato paste, thin outcrops of cheese here and there and a total of five ultra-thin slices of pepperoni?

Isn’t there some law about advertising standards?

The UK is supposed to have some of the strictest around and yet what about the internet service providers, for example?

Or take my Vodaphone. Overrides turn unanswered calls into voicemails which are then charged way over the call rate and the settings don't let you control what comes in and you've been charged for.

Tales from the 'Riverbank'

By Bob Carter

When looking for wildlife, a section of an old drain strewn with rubbish – wheelie bins, an old computer monitor, old armchair and the ubiquitous shopping trolley – may seem an unlikely location, but you would be wrong! I spent less than an hour recently at such a place and what a surprise I had. Within minutes of arriving and sitting on the banks of Barmy Drain (or Barmston, to give it it’s proper name)which runs through Hull, I saw a pair of Coots nest-building, a squabble between two pairs of Moorhens, a pair of Swans, well, swanning around, a couple of small Tortoiseshell Butterflies and a Water Vole swimming and scurrying about along the bank. The latter little furry fella was a real treat. Water Voles are becoming increasingly rare in this country and we have them on our doorstep! These can easily be mistaken for Rats but have a shorter tale, smaller ears and a more rounded appearance – in short,they’ve a lot more ‘aaawgh factor’ than rats! In fact the character ‘Ratty’ in the children’s tale ‘Wind in the Willows’ by Kenneth Grahame (remember AA Milne’s play ‘Toad of Toad Hall’ based on the book?) was in fact a Water Vole despite his name, and they are sometimes referred to as ‘Water Rats’. Wildlife is resilient, and it is great to see it thriving in our city – despite the few who seem not to care about their environment or the wildlife they share it with – shopping trolleys and all.







Tales from the 'Riverbank'

[the ukssr] and the breshnev apparatchik

You've no doubt seen the videos. If you haven't, please get thee over there now.

William Gruff
gave thanks to Raedwald for the videos and to The England Project for the poem. Guthrum, at Looking for A Voice, has also published the videos.

And I thank you lads.

Now, re the videos:

£20 000 debt for every new born child in Britain.

Debt 10% of GDP.

100 000 private sector jobs lost.

... and when you repeat, in that wooden and perfunctory way, that our situation is better than others, that we're well placed to weather the storm, I have to say you sound like a Breshnev era apparachik, giving the party line ...

[super supreme] screw worm, semtex and the sandanista



There are book reviews and then there are book reviews.

This is the latter, to paraphrase a line from Vesper Lynd. As one is wont to do with no time to browse around, I was browsing around offline and found a few reviews of Three Days of the Condor.

One which amused was by Loveprong.Inc and the warning signs were already there in the name. Here’s the bulk of it:

"That's the last time I nip out for Super Supreme." Basically, Redford pops out for a pizza for the [fellow CIA] office workers, comes back and finds everyone has had their brains blown out. Understandably a bit shocked, he does a runner … Officially, the Love Prong Inc. conspiracy arm has never been convinced about the CIA. It all seems too easy to blame them for everything that goes on.

After all, especially as the CIA themselves revealed lots of stuff during the 1974 Church Hearings - it was obvious that the CIA had nothing to hide. They revealed extensive information about specialist lightweight killing weapons (strangely like the one used to kill Robert Kennedy from the rear in the Ambassador Hotel in 1968), advanced psychological torture techniques, usage of LSD and mind-altering substances, mind-programming experiments and methods for manipulating large groups of people.

Although, it was just theory, of course.


Love Prong would like to officially state that WE DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ANY CIA COMPLICITY in, let's say...


CIA DCI (Director Of Central Intelligence) Richard Helms and CIA involvement in the "Bay Of Pigs" incident in Dallas 1963. The killing of Lee H. Oswald by Jack Ruby. E. Howard Hunt (former CIA station chief Mexico) being one of the hobos on the Grassy Knoll on November 22nd 1963 and later (oddly) being caught in the Watergate building with our old friend CIA "G-Man" G. Gordon Liddy.


The "mysterious" death of CIA DCI William Colby, the work of Admiral John Poindexter and General Richard V. Secord with arms-dealer Manucher Ghorbanifar, CIA DDCI Robert Gates and his "breakdown", Ollie North's handy ability to take the Fifth Amendment in the spotlight, George H.W. Bush (DCI 1974) facilitating drug deals, John Hull's plane procurement skills, Ronald Wilson Reagan's convenient memory lapses and the old bastard Knight Of Malta DCI Bill Casey promoting the selling of snorting gear in the 1980's, Casey giving $3m to the Saudi Arabians in return for punting drugs money to buy arms for the Nicaraguan Contras (Adolfo Calero being a very charming man apparently;-) and information regarding kidnapped (and subsequently murdered) CIA station chief William Buckley, Operation Phoenix in Vietnam, the secret army training in Aden, Dhofar, war and bombing of Laos, Cambodia.


The restoration of the Greek monarch in 1946, installing (and killing) Vietnamese Diem, overthrowing the democratically elected Mossadegh in Iran and installing the Shah 1953, supporting Gehlen's Nazis in 1946, running the Burmese Nationalist incursions into China for about 12 years, overthrow of Albania's Enver Hoxha in 1950, attempted killing of Huk in the Phillipines 1953, kidnap of Otto John in West Germany, installation of Armas in Guatemala (1954) strangely after they'd nationalised the land of US companies (no connection honest), attempts to overthrow Nasser, assassinate Chou En-Lai 1955, overthrowing Prince Sihanouk and the CIA-sponsored coup of March 18 1970 via Lon Nol Chief of the CIA-backed Cambodian army, Fidel Castro (fucking hundreds of times-they still didn't manage to kill him or poison his cigars).

Overthrowing the Portugese government of 1975, destabilizing Angola by killing 300,000 in the backing UNITA's Jonas Savimbi until 1984, the death of Werner Lamberz and Paul Markowski, discrediting of Harold Wilson, evicting Gough Whitlam in Australia by blackmailing Governor-General John Kerr to dissolve the left-wing elected government, the diabolic murders in Haiti by "Papa Doc" and "Baby Doc" Duvalier, the support for CIA torturer Dan Mitrione in Uruguay in 1969, the coup in Granada 1980 to remove Maurice Bishop.

The 1981 Seychelles military coup, bribery in Mauritius 1982, successful coup in Guatemala 1982, at least 3 attempts to overthrow Bouterse's Surinamese government, bribery of candidates in the 1984 El Salvador election, Casey buying anti-Communist votes in trying to rig the 1987 Italian election, dopey "Bud" McFarlane, support for Juan Peron's old mate Michele Sindona supplying French Exocet missiles to Argentina during the Falklands War 1982...


The deaths of freelance journalists Danny Casolaro and Jonathan Moyle (hanged in a Chilean hotel wardrobe, following a lethal injection in the heel-Hotel Carrera room 406 to be precise) while investigating British and American dealings with Dr. Carlos Cardoen and Augusto Pinochet in punting coke (and the Helios Weapons Guidance System and Stonefish mine system from our old friends at Marconi Underwater Systems) to Iran and Iraq with the full knowledge of CIA and MI6 (31 March 1990).

The "blind" which is Area 51, the long-history of the CIA's coke dealing with Panama's Manuel Noriega ("Just Fly Low" - the US spent 900 trillion dollars on a ultra-high-tech stealth plane that couldn't be detected by radar and they could have just borrowed Manuel Noriega's tiny low-tech Cessna which managed to fly huge quantities of drugs into the US for years without anyone noticing...), the corruption of BCCI, global money-laundering, Banco Ambrosiano, the death of Pope John Paul I, Roberto Calvi found in "Hanged Man" tarot card mode under Blackfriars Bridge, the drug and arms dealings of the Shah Of Iran, the Chilean coup ousting democratically elected Marxist Salvador Allende ("make the economy scream" said Kissinger to CIA DCI Richard Helms at the time).

UK/US counter-insurgence and spying on huge populations under the auspices of Echelon, the stitch-up of Richard Nixon in Watergate, the Clintons and Whitewater, CIA ambassador mad bitch April Glaspie giving Saddam Hussein the official green light to invade Kuwait in 1990, Fawn Hall's monster crack-cocaine addiction (how ironic), Operation Screw Worm - the plan by CIA and Oliver North to flood the US with an extra 50000 kilos a month of uncut cocaine to depress the price of street coke in May 1986 (nice folks huh?), the helping of the FBI to harass songwriter Phil Ochs.


The CIA's backing of SAVAK, the Iranian Shah's secret police (which caused the taking of 52 American hostages in the US embassy Teheran), the aid to right-wing Roberto D'Aubuisson in shooting Oscar Romero Archbishop of San Salvador through the heart after his pleading to Jimmy Carter to stop the CIA aiding the military government slaughtering the people, secret agent Mindfuck with the IRA, ETA, Red Brigade, Bader Meinhof, Semtex smuggling, infiltration of Panavia, the CIA "men of influence" at the heart of governments in Sweden, Holland, UK and Italy, EC/CIA drug running via safe houses in London, Brussels and Strasbourg.


Moles at London Circus, the leaking of commercial British Aerospace faxes from Airbus to Boeing intercepted on British territory via Menwith Hill Yorkshire at the expense of UK taxpayers money in 1991, more racketeering front-companies than I can remember, interference and messing in almost every country in the world, the blowback of CIA/UK support for the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan with US-supplied Stinger missiles being used by terrorists, the usage of CIA assets Jean-Michel Francois and Venezuelan General Davila in the importation to the US of 20 and 33 tonnes of cocaine respectively in 1996 (both convicted).


The traditional rigmarole of getting the US government to blame their political enemies for the flooding of drugs onto the streets of the US (i.e. CIA getting Harry Anslinger in the 50's to blame the social ills of America on the flood of Red Communist Chinese heroin coming into the country - later turning out to be an unfounded lie), former CIA director Bush getting Reagan to denounce Red Sandanista cocaine as the reason for their moral crusade in Nicaragua (strangely, also later turning out to be an unfounded lie, when the press more closely quizzed the DEA), little Georgie warning about Taliban heroin (no doubt, this too will turn about to be CIA intelligence propaganda to support the war effort after the fact), the Votescam fixing of every US election since 1970, helping install the puppet Grenada government, CIA directing Iranian marine invasion in the Omani civil war 1970.
CIA support of US marines landing during the election campaign of the Dominican Republic 1965-66, the covert intervention with Green Berets against rebels in Guatemala 1966-67, CIA-assisted raids on Bolivian cocaine dealers in 1987 against the wishes of the government, murder of almost everyone in Dealey Plaza 22/11/63, French aerospace kickbacks via European defence ministers, shipping of Tow missiles via Wafic Said, skimming of drugs money post Al-Yamamah and the Ј10 million kickback to Mark Thatcher, payments via Saudia Arabia in oil/gold to Messrs. Smith/Weston/Evans. Attempts to shutdown Dr. Chris Cowley's revelations about the CIA and the 1989 Arms Fair in Baghdad (and some wonder why American foreign policy is unpopular!), Vince Foster's odd death, 22 tonnes of coke being imported using US taxpayers money in 1991.

McVeigh's conviction for Oklahoma, the development of AIDS in a military lab in 1969, monkeys being trained for assassination work, political murders on behalf of the Vatican, training of Chilean death-squads, protection of war-time Nazis, funding US mob extortion and trafficking rackets, illegal phone-tapping of journalists, black-bag jobbing, lousy security on remote islands.
Internet surveillance, illegal IRS harassment, complicity with alien implant projects, the killing of Pablo Escobar, the work of Ari Ben-Menashe ensuring American hostages remained locked up until Reagan and Bush had been elected (organized by Bush in Paris), trying to use Zbigniew Bryzynski in a game of scrabble, the murder of Georgi Markov with a poisoned umbrella, rocket-designer Gerald V. Bull rubbed out in Brussels with the help of the Mossad, running missions with Abu Nidal.

The high-tech security leaks over intercepted Moslem extremist e-mail when they were using AOL to coordinate terror attacks and oh, I'm bored now, fucking everything dodgy, immoral and illegal that's ever happened since 1945.


In fact, Love Prong Inc. agrees with the classic line from Robert Redford's character about the CIA: "You know, you guys are amazing. You think not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth."


Three Days of the Condor - a poor and totally unrealistic film about the CIA. I don't recall them mentioning the cocaine and heroin smuggling once.

Aside from the leftist slant in his selection of horrors to mention – the notion of a ‘democratically’ elected Marxist government of coercion is a particularly funny one – it’s a nice piece of writing.
