Barack Obama: How He Suckered The West

Barack Obama is the new Tony Blair. He looks good, has a very organised machine behind him, says vaguely positive things but nothing definite.

"Change, we can believe in!"

That is a meaningless statement. I’m surprised people fell for it; it’s crass marketing. What change, exactly? It allows people to read what they want into it.

I have no idea what he’s going to do in office. Neither does anyone else, as far as I know. From what I’ve read online he’s:

Very keen on abortion;
Very left wing in his youth;
Offers a curious mix of tax cuts for the middle-classes and increased social spending;
Wants to get out of Iraq but continue hammering Afghanistan;
"Smart diplomacy"?

If it wasn’t for his skin colour, he’d be largely character-less.

So what of the future?

I don’t think he or his people have any clever ideas. All I’ve read is that the U.S. is going to throw money at its problems, same as the UK. So we can probably expect a ten-year recession, with a depression from now until however long it takes for the dud paper to be flushed out of the economy and dud politicians to be flushed out of office.

They just don’t have the courage to take the hard decisions, so they will fail, and be run out of office by the mob.

Would YOU Throw Your Money At A Failed Business?

The dullards want ‘business as usual’. They’re propping up bad banks to try to keep a damaged dream alive. It won’t work. The world is running scared.

Good money was paid for bad paper. This illusory wealth must be bled out of the system like air out of a radiator. It would be smart to take the pain all at once, rather than suffer a ten-year agony of recession.

They should guarantee the deposits of savers, demand shares in the banks worth saving, hive off bad loans into a ‘toxic bank’ and let the guilty (shareholders, executives, the corporation of the bank itself) suffer the pain. Instead taxpayers (the nation) will.

Putting taxpayers money into damaged banks and somehow expecting lending to return to normal is magical thinking, at best.

At worst, it’s idiocy. Instead of the banks going bust, countries will.

This is already starting to happen in the U.K. Can a country borrow indefinitely against its future tax-takings to prop up its economy; an economy heavily reliant on the financial sector? Would you lend money to the U.K. or Ireland now?

I wonder who’s going to end up owning us in the end?

A Smart King Hires Wiser Advisors

I predicted the current recesson back in 2005, in this blog. Wasn’t hard. Lots of other people knew the credit boom couldn’t last.

What’s surprising is that our leaders in the US, UK and Ireland pretended it could. What’s chilling is that they might have believed what they said; that it was only a ‘correction’, a ’seasonal adjustment’. When the sub-prime collapse started in August 2007, they still kept to the same course.

In Ireland, they still supported big property developers and their massive gambles. It’s an odd feeling when you feel better informed than the guy steering the ship.

George Bush is ignorant, at the very least. A smart king hires advisors wiser than himself, and surrounds himself with honourable men. Gordon Brown has no real understanding of business; this is the man who:

• Sold Britain’s gold at an historical low price;
• Raided pension schemes for tax purposes and thereby helped destroy them;
• Oversaw a massive increase in public sector employment;
• Indulged in massive state spending and hid it in ‘Private Finance Initiatives’;
• Spent a lot of his time as chancellor defying his Prime Minster and plotting his downfall;
• Hasn’t been directly elected by the people to his post as P.M.
• Never ran a business in his life.

Also during the Tony Blair years: the weakening of the Houses of Parliament and increasingly intrusive police and local government powers. Oh, and I forgot: a steady increase in indirect taxation.

The purpose: To make Britain a socialist totalitarian state, right before it collapses into fascism.

Bertie Ahern (the previous Taoiseach or Prime Minister of Ireland) was corrupt. A man who was only interested in getting into office, and staying there. No real ideals apparent there. There was a recent documentary on him and his back-room boys on Irish television. It was chilling to see they type of men running our country. If a Fianna Fail man tells you the sun is shining, you’d have to go outside to check, just to be sure.

Mr. Ahern’s successor, Brian Cowen did a very clever thing; he managed to stabilise our banks (for the moment) without actually paying any money into them, just by offering a guarantee.

At the time of writing, they’re saying they might put some in, or take preferential shares. The latter way is the way to go: have something of value for taxpayers money, that can be cashed in later.

Giving public money to a banker is like giving slop to a pig and expecting it to lay eggs; they’ll just eat it up and then sit there.

That’s what’s really going on in the U.S.’s wars and this current crisis; putting public money in private hands; the biggest swindle in the history of the world.

After this: chaos, I fear, within two years. Already hundreds of thousands of workers are being laid off in the West.

After that, one must pray that people will return to piety. Those that are righteous in the eyes of God are favoured, even when they suffer, for he is purifying them by this. Those that are ignorant of him and behave accordingly, merely suffer. Those that defy him, he destroys, even in the midst of their seeming prosperity; for how many grand earthly mansions are cold inside and house miserable people?

Ancient Rituals Conducted In An Underground London Temple.

Every Monday at 6.30pm a mysterious ancient rite, whose precise origins are lost in time, is conducted in a candle-lit, underground temple in Central London. The attendees are predominantly male, as are the chorus. Not too far from Piccadilly Circus ancient hymns are sung, and ornately-dressed mystics perform strange passes and utter curious words of power. The worshippers kneel in quiet reverence, chanting an occasional respose.

The temple is decorated with the symbols of this practice, and its followers claim great spiritual benefits come from their participation. To someone not au-fait with their creed, their claims are at once far-fetched and strangely enticing. It promises peace, power and a benefit called ‘agape’ in ancient Greek.

With the advent of the internet, their are now a few sites online dedicated to this underground cult, the foremost in Britain being this one.

Young men fixated on ’swords and sorcery’ or the occult, and young ladies interested in spiritual matters, may be interested to enquire further.
