ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ

JUDICIOUS KILLING BUT NEVER JUDICIAL KILLING

The political mind is like none other. Governments are vehemently opposed to the death penalty - a truly transparent process, that results in one, documented death at a time. But they are more than happy to mow down or flatten, any number of undocumented Johnnie Foreigners.

On balance (even putting aside Princess Diana and Dr Kelly) it would seem highly probable that political homicide is a 'government option', available on demand, free at the point of use.

The parallel between the Catholic Church and government is clear. The central power sees powerless folk as low-value and expendable.

To the Unions watch !

Steve Keen one switched on economist on Max Keiser :-




"increase inflation - raise wages" "its the last thing they will do"

I am amazed that the Pope is still coming to this country after all the negative press he has received, he has hardly acknowledged the resentment and fury the Catholic Church has been on the receiving end. The recent Panorama programme on the abuse within the Church could not have come at a worse time. This is not the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ putting the boot in, this is an exposure that has lain dormant for fifty years and covered up by high ranking priests and because of complaints of thousands of victims it is fitting that these matters are aired without delay. Congratulations to the Panorama team to get this subject out before the visit..

A question:

Has anybody seen Chris Adkins' documentary 'Starsuckers'?

@flicks

It seems that you have to be very careful how you represent "accusations" of white collar crime on the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ.

Anyone interested in the possible fraudulent activities of financial companies should Google: finra hft manipulation

"HFT firms have been suspected of manipulative practices for years, but no one has ever been able to prove anything. That changed today when FINRA charged Trillium."



This raises two key questions:

1) Are we just scratching the surface of discovering the extent of financial fraud? (recent fines have been issued to amongst others JPM and GS)

2) Why are these sorts of white collar misdemeanors generally only treated with modest financial punishment (i.e. a fine with no formal acceptance of liability)?

Does banking regulation not have the might and teeth of the law behind it? Or is it just window dressing?

THOSE WHO CAN HEAR GOD CLEARLY DO SOME VERY ODD THINGS (#3)

St Tony of Delusion, is known to have made at least one (proxy) visit to (or visitation upon) another country, without any thought to his popularity there.

It would seem it is in the nature of those who care, at a level beyond the ordinary mortal, that they turn up all over the place, in the name of the One True God, costing the 'host' nation untold money and leaving not a wrack behind when they triumphantly depart.

Did I hear that St Tony will be progressing WITH the Pope at some location? I hope no one's eyes are damaged. Although such blinding would be a blessing beyond measure.

Oh - it will all go awfully well.

IMMATURITY IN THE APE CONFUSED BY LANGUAGE

Just look at the behaviour of our 'leaders' and at the prizes they aspire to. Listen to their utterances: the bunch who STILL ape the 'Blair Glottal' and the blatant use of the 'Political Answer'.

If our leaders are immature, what chance the bottom of the heap?

Does schooling set out to mature, mature, mature? No - it goes in for Blairtant 'education, education, education', which equates to 'institutionalisation, institutionalisation, institutionalisation'. Only by so doing, can the curse of Westminster, Westminster Westminster be perpetuated.

Teach BEING not DOING. That will surely SPOILPARTYGAMES.

Hawkeye_pierce - Bingo you got it and its gigantic, no galactic. We have the 'alleged' silver/gold manipulation and now this HFT.

They are just waking up at the wheel of the titanic while they show the public blab shows with a side serving of fostering fractional reserve delusion by way of denile .

In whose best interests might Max Keiser work looking solely at likely outcome?

Just ask yourself, who do you have in mind to regulate, flicks2? That is the real question in the end. Please don't say "Janet Tavakoli" (Iranian husband), as she is a commentator and regulation requires government, not anarchism..

Not putting the boot in? Then answer me this: Why no investigations into Anglican, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh etc paedophiles too? Why has it just been Catholics? Do you really think there is something special about catholic clergy which makes them more likely to be clergy? The evidence reported is that paedophilia in the Catholic clergy is lower than that in the general population, so what is the prevalence in Hindu, Anglican, Jewish religious leaders? That's how the boot is put in. Stealthily. By omission, and like so many people you take the bait, hook, line and sinker. So do most journalists. So who is behind this, and why now? Do you remember that Catholic bishop who was rehabilitated a while back?
What did he go on Swedish TV and say? Is this payback?

"In October 1993, Schapiro gave a speech in Lugano, Switzerland, "The Derivatives Revolution and the World Financial System," concerning potential regulation of the unregulated derivatives market in which she cited "the benefits to financial innovation that may result from a more flexible regulatory paradigm," and stated that she was "not convinced that consolidated regulatory supervision of securities firms and their affiliates is necessary or appropriate at this time."



One might as well ask if the SEC is the USA's FSA? But then, asking that sort of question these days is as surreal as asking if the Pope's a Catholic. Sometimes things can be shoved right in front of people's faces and they still can't accept it. That's bare-faced cheek and it'd efficacy counts on most people successfully being made to feel that it's bad to find fault. Libertarianism really does assert that there is nothing wrong with this. The markets will take care of fraud (often by making it lawful).

True, but sadly, they don't teach that in our training colleges/universities as it's not environmentally sound and the alternative is much easier said than done, as you should be able to see even from this blog..

What we have is a galactic special needs program for bankers who are addicted to Ponzi finance. Of course their particular 'need' is to do 'Gods work'.

That's what makes them special and in need.

How about we have a special report for a special topic of galactic needs.

Oh and by the way gold just hit an all time high. Now what could that be telling us ?

NO COLLUSION - JUST THE ODD BIT OF (HELPFUL) NEGLIGENCE

But am I referring to 9/11 or the death of Billy Wright?

Or the next one.

IN-YER-FACE DAVE DELIVERS RANK PAPERY

I have just had my hackles raised by Dave - face right up the camera - telling me with his schoolmarm cadence, in no uncertain terms, that the Pope is as British as warm beer. Yeah right.

Thanks Dave - I now have even more reason to have your Conservatives nailed for the 'liar flyer' and to see Nick go down with you.

Dave clearly has Blair Sickness. He thinks he is a GREAT PERSUADER.

But, and this really does require some careful thought, and it's the sort of very careful thought which I keep encouraging jauntycyclist and others to try to practice: who would run such programmes? In other words, how, in the current culture, could that ever be done?

That's a much more subtle question than it will seem upon first reading.

As barriesingleton so often says, most people live, think and therefore write from within the lie. How could it be otherwise. Wittgenstein called this the tyranny of language, and a day does not go past when we are not fed stories by the media inducing us to fear or revile regulation...

Barrie, The Pope is a head of state as well as the head of the Catholic Church. Some people can and do get rather aggressive over anything to do with child abuse, including charges of licensing paedophilia etc, so it is the responsibility of all responsible people to do all they can to reduce any risk of such behaviour. Don't you agree? Quite aside from this there are about 1 billion Catholics in the world, and they will be finding this recent, irrational hysteria highly offensive

QUE? (#20)

My post was about Cameron and the Conservatives. You should read more carefully and perceptively - don't you think?

Just think about this. Most of the people in powerful positions in this crisis had a background rather like Janet. Look at Fred The Shred. She spent a career in the Financial Services business. Why did she go into it? Out of philanthropy? She's a poacher turned want-to-be game keeper like Max.

All political systems have money. The important thing to note which was missing from the Libertarian model is biological diversity and how that impacts upon choice and impulsive behaviour. People want stuff, but some want it immediately. There's a price to be paid for that, and it's called compound interest. If you can get people to take drugs and behave like kids, it is easier to indebt them, which means you can enslave them. The last thing you want is someone to come along and point out that lots of people can't cope with delay of gratification, so you spend lots of money on rosy ideas like equality and human/civil rights.

Then you go fishing for borrowers offering credit cards etc.

Now, are you prepared to give up your credit cards? If you can't afford a house, are you prepared to live in rented accommodation for the rest of your life because you don't have the rare skills in demand? This is why some countries LOOK rich and why socialist countries don't look rich..But which is more stable and which the more caring?

HOLOCAUST OR HOLLOW RHETORIC?

The French perceive a need to deport Roma and the Final solution is invoked.

Blair saw fit to EXTERMINATE Johnnie Foreigner (but outside the EU) and all was quiet.

If the French have committed a crime . . .

Ah, a question.

My answer: Your post made an inductive inference about some imagined supernatural states of Mr Cameron based upon your misunderstanding of his verbal remarks about The Pope, did it not? Perhaps you are unaware of these irrational inferences that you are prone to make and hold true?

I do indeed read carefully. My written behaviour is sometimes less careful than it should be alas. I hope you find this post both perceptive and accurate, maybe even helpful?. ;-).

I can hear some noise made by a tortoise

Geithner and the galactic wideboys of all time meet to discuss "gods work" and their "special needs"

Doing "Gods work" and "special needs" -

"18. I’m sorry to say, but the gold price is in the hands of the banksters and Tim β€œthe terminator” Geithner, head of the Treasury. It’s not about the comex or the LBMA. The Govt, Treasury, and Central Bank all want gold higher in price, way higher. So, guess where the price of gold IS going?

19. Correct. WAY HIGHER.

20. The story of gold’s price in this bull market is not so much about supply or demand, although they have been factors up to this point. The main gold price story is, and always has been, about control of gold. The govt has legal power to control gold, and will not hesitate to exercise that control, via gold revaluation and perhaps money printing, if they believe such control is required. The biggest debtor is the US govt, and you can bet your bottom (paper money) dollar they want the dollar vastly lower against gold, so they can service existing debts, and retain the ability to issue more."

The french kick out Romanians..Good! It heartening to know that at least one european country has a leader with back bone. The shrill response from some Lib Euro parliment hack was no surprise though. Its a pity the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ reported this story slanted in its usual lefty-wefty fashion.

Hurry up and get out of your bubble ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ.

Ah, you appear to have a reading disability which I note quite common amongst your people. I recall there was something on the news about this behaviour today, and I posted a few comments on it to the effect that some people are just made this way. Research suggests that they hear or read material, but what then comes out when they try to repeat it is something quite different! Some of these people have also mistakenly learned to use the English word 'interpretation' to describe this error in their verbal behaviour. It's causing no end of trouble.

For your benefit, here are some analyses from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ on this Romanian/Bulgarian illegal immigrant problem and their repatriation.

Why not buy copper (it's bounced back too), or tin, or some other metal?

As we're no longer on the Gold Standard, it's just another commodity, except that because a lot of people still don't fully understand that, some will mistakenly buy it out of familiarity and drive the price up through scarcity until big holders dump it and then lots of people will be left with big losses as in the 80s. All this thrives on pretending that it isn't a game to sucker people, hiding behind caveat emptor as I see it. Some of us can't be told though. We're all equally bright
(suckers) these days as Thatcher, Reagan, Bush and Blair et al. outlawed inequality (stupidity) as politically inconvenient (incorrect).

Great to see David Aaronovitch with Jeremy tonight, my favourite line being "if God existed, then Tottenham Hotspur would have won against
Werder Bremen" :p Ha ha ha!

Very interesting debate about the Blitz tonight too :o)

As for the newspaper review about the Real IRA targeting UK Bankers

I can't see a lot of public sympathy for bankers right now.......

Dave's piece to camera was just like a party election broadcast, on behalf of the Pope Party. What is the political advantage to Dave in that? Murdoch isn't Catholic, so who is Dave scared of? Are his big donors Catholic? I know he is the heir to Blair, but one can take things too far.

Lots of people thinking that he isn't a responsible, courteous statesman, and of some unstable person getting carried away with recent hysteria and thinking there will be celebrity status in trying to assassinate The Pope.

I found the image used, in the background, of Pope Benedict 16th, during the newsnight debate on him, offensive and abusive. I and my family consider the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ coverage and use of a picture of the Pope with his hand extended as if in a Nazi salute racist and implying linkage with Nazi youth. This is deeply insulting both to the Pope and all decent people. Also the use of a straw poll of 500 people, which the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ are using and quoting from as though it were absolute and valid, is a gross distortion and misrepresentation of facts. There is an obvious and deliberate agenda to discredit, the Pope and offend people of all faiths, but in particular Catholics.

When Jeremy did the quick review of papers at the end of Newsnight last night, he mentioned that there was something about badgers on the front of one of them. I assumed that it was of a sentimental nature but have just learned that it is to do, in fact, with culling of the pest animal:

Bob Chapman -

Arianna has gone to a new level in my view. She is taking action to educate and do something about the invidiousness that has been inflicted upon the working people of the US . She is not sitting back doing blab shows about car boots and flogging stuff in the attic. She is very switched on to peoples situations - knows how to engage them at their level and therefore educate them in a meaningful way.

A collection of TUC leaders graced my screens this fine morning, all sharp suited and, to a man, glowing with orangeness. Is the weather there especially good? Or do they just enjoy the fruits of their pay and perks as any person can in more clement climes?

Speaking of bonusses, the most favoured seemed to be Mr. Crowe, whose popularity escapes me as his answer to any question seems to be to react 'It's The Banks', no matter what, like a slightly battier version of Johnny from the Fast Show.

Geithner and the galactic wideboys of all time meet to discuss "gods work" and their "special needs""

Go and dig out that 1990 reference which Debtjuggler quoted from a while back. It covers subjects which he and others have long aired on this blog. The paper is on the web. Google "Rational Choice Theory: Necessary But Not Sufficient" as a pdf. Make sure you read it all the way through, and pay particular attention to the end. Bear in mind how the USA and EU population has changed over recent decades, all the sex equality talk too. Then think about how the Financial Service sector essentially farms consumers.

It might would help (just as a heuristic) to think of oneself as a bit dim. It always helps one learn if one thinks oneself a bit dim as doing so makes one question if one really is analysing matters correctly. Most people don't do that, which I suggest really IS a bit dim.

My advice - read carefully, and very very critically bearing population heterogeneity in mind, at all times as what seems familiar may not be all it seems.

Entryism: A technique used by Trotskyists to subvert Stalinist (i.e public sector/Civil Service/state) organizations. The idea was to make such organizations look bad to its members and the general public. Many of those doing it need not have that agenda, they just need to serve that function for those helping them to get there. One has to ask, who benefits from such subversion? Who benefited in 1979? Anarchists usually tend to win in the end as their tactics count on entropy and the opposite requires effort/work. One therefore has to try to see past the obvious, and well past apparent intention. Focus on outcome, as all behaviour is controlled by outcome not intention.
