My little poll ended up about where I thought it would. Maybe I should have ignored those Aliens to get a more reasonable result, but it is still fun to see that 91 people have voted and that this is the result:
What is your favorite apocalypse?
1. Alien invasion 43 (47%)
2. Asteroids and Comets 8 (8%)
3. Coronal Ejection/cosmic rays 3 (3%)
4. By our own hand 25 (27%)
5. Environmental ruin 12 (13%)
Number of votes: 91
You can hardly make any real conclusion from a poll done on a strange mans blog but I still choice to make one and that is that if people want to die and see the entire human race go out, they want to do it the fun way. Aliens and killing ourselves is more fun scenarios then some rock crashing into earth or if the sun(s) kill us. In other words, people have some humor after all.

The Oracle predicts
The world is in an economic recession and governments everywhere is rushing to save their jobs by stimulating an already too drunk and overly satisfied hooker. Some signs shows improvement, some the opposite, so what will happen next?
As I have mentioned before in passing, together with other predictions which have been spot on (so far not missed a single thing), there are two potential scenarios. Either all those stimulus and bail-outs “work” in the sense that people start buying again, the market recuperate some and there is a breather for months or maybe even some years. Or the market sees straight thru this scam and/or something happens that triggers the depression earlier, like General Electric starting to bleed money and going bankrupt or another war starts somewhere in the middle east.
When reading the signs the second scenario seems more and more likely. Just as in the 20’s and 30’s politicians are eager to show good numbers and journalists are writing how things starting to look up. And just as back then trade is dropping like crazy, businesses go down and the stock market is very volatile going up and down. And just as back then governments are borrowing and printing money like there is no tomorrow and they have been doing that for a while now. The only ingredient really missing is an increase in protectionism. It has been growing some, but not really enough to pull the final trigger.
I, the oracle, predict that this up-and-down spiral will continue over the summer and around the time when school starts up again there will be a sudden shift and the “up” will not be as frequent or as high as before and then during late summer and autumn protectionism will continue to increase and around September/October the first prominent journalists and others will proclaim we are now in a depression. Politicians will ignore this and throw more stimuli into the fire and around Christmas businesses will starting to really crumble. In Januari/februri 2010 the global depression will hit us will full force when both new numbers and several economies shows the worst figures ever. And then we have AT LEAST a couple of years of mass unemployment and civil unrest. What happens after that I will come back to tell you later on but otherwise you can read my earlier ramblings. It is really easy to understand if you just use that brain.

The signs you should worry about
After months of nearly pure darkness, glimmers of “enhancement” are emerging in the U.S. economy. President Obama's top economic advisor, Lawrence H. Summers, even claimed there was no longer "that sense of a free fall" in the economy. Can you say “clueless”? This Summers idiot should read my post further down why this might happen and why it is an illusion.
So while the Obamanator is buying thousands of cars for borrowed and newly printed money to support this dream of total madness; out in the real world far from the asylum that is politics global shipping is expected to plunge 74 percent this year. Demand for commodities is dropping like a stone and the dry cargo index have fallen 92 percent the last year and the drop is expected to continue the next 2 years. For those who don’t know, the dry cargo market is a sure bet when looking at how the world’s total economy is going and drops like these has never been heard of before.
Another topic I have written about before is the sex-industry which continues to see a fall in people searching for erotic pleasures. This is also a sure sign of things going downhill since prostitution is considered to be a recession-safe industry and when prostitutes start looking for a better way of making a living, you know something else is getting screwed up.
And China, which is probably the key that will open the depression door, have had five consecutive monthly declines in both imports and exports. And what is happening lately is that the decline in exports has slowed down while the decline in imports has accelerated.
And I just haft to mention this German nationalization again which is so funny. Not since during Hitler’s glory days have a bank been nationalized, but now they are doing it again.
All these and much more are signs of the recession gaining momentum, not halting as politicians would like you to believe. Even signs of “better times” like increase in oil prices and some temporary upwards jumps in the financial markets are in reality signs of things really going towards hell right now. If you want to invest in something, invest in gold and similar items that hold a more objective value. Or, if you have a lot of money, go and look for those companies that benefits from all the stimulus’s, but please remember to withdraw your money sooner rather than later. And to all of you; have you started buying candles and dried up food packages yet? If not, do so now.

Fantastic news from the world
Bulk carriers and container ships in Asia, most evidently in China, are loading less and less cargo and trips are being cancelled.

Germany has not nationalized a bank since the 1930s. But NOW the German government moved a step closer to fully nationalizing Hypo Real Estate Holding, saying it planned to buy all of the troubled mortgage lender’s outstanding shares.
-Everybody say "sieg" to the camera
The Indian Apex chamber FICCI have now suggested an action plan to meet the funding requirements of the industry which is currently going through difficult times.

Buffy, season 7 reminder
Well well well…
Suddenly several news media in Sweden are printing and saying things that are sort of negative about Annika Östberg. I have followed this topic for many years and I have never seen so many “negative” reports. And you know that Swedish journalists are after blood when they start writing/telling us about costs and throws money numbers around. Suddenly her flight costs money. Suddenly it costs money to have her in prison. Nah, really? I don’t know if there is some rude awakening from Leif GW Persson contribution to this discussion or that journalists suddenly realize (partly from visiting a lot of blogs) that there is more than one way of selling this story or possibly (but not likely) the monkeys are thinking and doing some research for once. Whatever the reason I actually think this is kind of "impolite". The media have more or less in unison sold the heart-breaking side of this story and suddenly when Annika actually is “free” or at least transferred, they start writing the crappy side of the story. Kind of a bad welcome for the lady in question. I still think that this murderess woman should stay in jail, preferably of the American variety, but it kind of take the fun out of it when people are starting to sing the same tune. Maybe she won’t get those 15min on morning TV selling her book after all?
Market goes up and down – UK and other idiotic things
In the United Kingdom the central bank has gone over to quantitative easing (QE) since the interest rate is as low as it can be and people are still not shopping enough. Basically this means that the central bank presses some keys on a keyboard and presto; more money exists. The bank then uses this money to buy assets - usually financial assets such as government and corporate bonds. The government and those corporate businesses (financial institutes) then have more money in their hands they can invest, spend or buy things for and the theory is that this will get the economy going again since there is suddenly more money in the system.
There are two problems with this theory and this scenario:
1) UK is broke, completely. And in order to keep paying public employees and trying to jumpstart everything the government is borrowing money like crazy, but still people won’t do as expected; spend. This means that the debt is growing rapidly. The rates are very low, but still people will not go out shopping. So when all this money flows into the system, people who get a piece of it will still not shop as the government is pleading them to do. Why? Because it is a crisis, jobs are not safe, the country’s debt is growing, and there is also a slow but steady growth in prices. So even if rates are very low and you actually lose money if you save them, people are so afraid they rather take their chances with the money they have instead of buy something they might not need.
2) This is the important part. This newly “printed” money they have conjured up out of thin air goes firstly to financial institutes who are the main benefactor of this money. They get it first. Every time you fictively increase money without any value attached to them, whoever gets this money first wins the most. Money works like any other commodity so when you increase the supply it means that the demand (the price) goes down. Each pound loses in value. But at the start this is hardly noticeable so the persons/companies that get the money first can “trick” other people/companies that the money is worth more than it really is. This is the main reason why the markets are going up and down at the moment.
Further Explanation:
Company A gets freshly printed money and they use this to buy products from company B which might either increase one company’s stock value (someone is buying or have money to buy, hurray) or even both of them. But when company B uses the same money it has lost in value because it is now more money on the market. So when Company B now buys things from company C the market reacts a bit suspiciously or neutral. Their stock might go up or down, it depends really. And as this continues some companies goes up, some goes down, but the overall effect is about zero. This means that investors start looking for two things; firstly those really sure bets that exists, mainly companies with solid finances that have products that always is sort after, even in a crisis. Secondly they might try to temporary gain profits by investing in those company A:s that get the extra cash first, but this only temporary, they invest, get their winnings and pull out which also is a reason for the market seemingly doing better now and again. But if you look closely on stocks on the market, when the index goes up you will notice that there are few companies (at least fewer then during normal times) that gain momentum and pulls the total index up, which is exactly what is happening now.
What does this mean? It means that nothing is changing; the crisis is not diverted even if some figures might temporary show it and some stupid journalist writes it. The crisis looms still and now you have a ticking inflation bomb waiting for something to trigger it and when that bomb goes off; can you say “Weimar” with a German accent?
The first fun thing is that when the crisis isn’t over and maybe even getting worse, governments will do the same thing again. Look at Japan, they are into their 999th (or something, hard to keep track of) stimulus and things just keep getting worse, but they are still doing the same thing. And every time the inflation bomb and the amount of time it takes to fix the problem increases exponentially.
And second fun thing is that this is going on all over. Not really as bad as in UK and in the US, but it is going on in pretty much every country and the speed and amounts are increasing for every month that goes by. So when the g20 countries say they are going to inject even more trillions of dollars (also created by pressing some keys in a keyboard) on the market it is the same as issuing a death order. We are soon plummeting much further down and within a year we will not be calling this a recession anymore, it will be a depression. Don’t believe eventual positive signals; don’t believe it when some extra billions seemingly are available on the market. It’s a scam, a trick, an illusion. We are fucked and you better believe it soon, because your number is up together with the rest of us.

Buffy movie?
According to some reports Sarah Michelle Gellar is reportedly in talks to reprise her role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer – this time for a movie. Some elusive “source” is quoted saying:
"There is an idea for a script and to pick the story up with Buffy older and maybe even a mother.
"Michelle is busy with movie projects at the moment but she is excited about the idea. Buffy still has a huge fan-base so this is a movie that already has an audience.
"Michelle is a shrewd businesswoman so the chances are this will happen at some point."
Sadly I think this is a bad hoax or a late april fools thing. But most likely it is Sarah’s manager trying to fridge on the Buffy thing in order to promote Sarah and make her more “out there” again. Firstly these kinds of romurs florish all the time on this or that movie or tv-series. Secondly Joss Whedon would be asked about this before someone can even think about doing something. And lastly there is already a continuation in the form of comic books and it will be very hard to ignore those so the only way to really make this potential movie is to focus on the road between Sunnydale colapsing in the last TV-episode and were the comics are today. If they are not thinking of doing some bad Dallas impression with Buffy waking up in the shower… And with this and other things comes the problem with casting. With many of the cast members starting to be and, in some cases, look old, this is something that is hard to put together. And a baby!? Come on. I would love to see a movie, but if it is not a great idea behind it, let it be. We shall not smudge the series.
Easier then to make more movies about Firefly/Serenity or some continuation within the buffyverse but with a new crew and an other storyline. One of these I hope comes soon.

Reinfeldt love killers
As mentioned Annika Östberg who facilitated with the killing of two people have been transported to Sweden and is temporary sleeping at one of our resorts instead of the jail in California she ought to have stayed in. Apparently it was “silent diplomacy” from the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt that gave Swedish taxpayers the joy of paying for this plot of increasing the murderer ratio. As the masterful manipulator he is, it was made sure that releasing this news reached the “right” hands and in doing so increasing the notion of Reinfeldt being a great statesman that is rubbing elbows with the governator. So, in a Machiavellian move the prime minister has gotten himself a murderer extra in Sweden that the Swedish taxpayers are paying for and he will probably get even higher approval rating for it. Or in the words of another high ranking member of his party from the time he got elected as head figure; “he is evil, evil! Evil I tell you”.
This isn’t really surprising. Together with the left policies of his government and the billions of buying-votes-money recently promised to different wasteful political councils, getting another one that likes pointing guns at people into Sweden is correspondent with his policies. Nothing is really off limits in order to ride the wave of success and give the socialist opposition another kick in the groin. Maybe he can hire Annika as advisor to the police? They could use some pointers how to best hurt “criminals” like internet-file-sharers or people demonstrating. She did kill a cop in America, but that’s a looooong time ago and good advice is always good advice…

You will never know…
The absolute worst thing about being able to think rationally and being able to connect the dots is that there are so few people that actually understand the easiest basic truths. And I get it, I get it why so many of you ignore the truth, because you are happier not knowing. The bliss that comes from ignorance is almost like a high and the truth is like withdrawal.
For those that is using the brain it is painful and horrifying experience and it hurts to the very bones when you find out that your friends, neighbors and family delightfully live as slaves. And it is even worse when you realize that they actually want to be more enslaved and when they eagerly applaud pure fascism your heart is about to break. And those who are supposed to monitor what’s going on, journalists, is stamping along with the same brainless tune. No one listens to your protests. You argue that high taxes put restraints on evolution and ingenuity; they tell you that the poor needs help. You tell your friends that everyone deserves to be free and live their own lives, but your friends say that greed and self-interest need to be regulated. You try to tell your neighbor that he is the one paying for his welfare check, but he mumbles something about everyone needs to help out. You almost scream at your family for not standing up against officials telling them what their home is worth and in which color it ought to be in, but your family dismisses you for not trusting democracy. You try to write editorials and publications, but no one reads them because the news talks about some rock star that has cut his hair. And it only gets worse.
When the government announces they are going to spend billions on childcare, everyone rejoice while you are trying to tell everyone that they are paying for it themselves. And when the government starts to borrow money for the same purpose, putting the debt on the shoulders of the same children, everyone applaud even more while you cannot believe how stupid people are. And when the government borrows even more and print fictive money to support their borrowing the unison celebration from the populace makes you wanna puke. Only the occasional other intelligent individual keeps you sane. But sooner or later you reach were I am today, you do not care anymore. You realize it is a dead cause and you also realize how tragically-comical it is and you laugh at all the misery, the wars, the recessions and the unemployment. You know what the cause is and you know where it leads and more importantly; you know how to fix it. But you also know no one will listen. People actually choice to live as slaves and under oppression from the cradle to the grave rather then knowing the truth and act upon it. And this is hilarious! Yes it is, because starvation and every economical down period can be avoided, you hold the answer, but people still walk straight for the abyss eagerly listening to collectivism and stupidity. People are morons and deserve whatever they get. Every dictator, every depression, every war could and can be avoided, but they rather have their “free” meal and feel good about “helping the elderly” rather than actually thinking. So when they die, when they suffer and when all the bad things happens, rejoice, it is funny.

Damn Aussies
The Reserve Bank of Australia cut its benchmark rate by a quarter percentage point to 3%. Most economists had been predicting no change to rates. Australia's government announced a 42bn Australian dollar ($26.5bn; £19bn) stimulus plan last month as the country faces its first recession since 1991. BBC
In other words, the Australians have now joined in with the fun of creating a worldwide depression. All we need to wait for now is that the dollar collapses, China reviling some horrifying economic figures or some big companies like GE or Microsoft plumbers downwards and we are off. Fun fun fun…
Also noticed that some oil prices is starting to climb and that the only big economy left that’s not in any immediate danger is the Indian one but also they are having some problems.

Great news from all over the world
Pirates keep hijacking vessels outside east Africans coastline. The only question someone should have is why this isn’t happening in more locations. Easy pickings really.
The World Bank has said economic growth in East Asia will slow sharply as the downturn saps demand for its exports
In Ukraine, steel and iron orders have dried up nearly completely and prices have plummeted.
suicides in Japan rise more and more as the economy gets worse and worse
As American companies begin the first-quarter earnings season, the news on that front is hardly encouraging either. Profits are forecast to be down by 37%, according to Bloomberg. That will be the seventh straight quarterly drop, the longest losing stretch since the Depression.
The Baltic Dry Index of freight rates is seen as a measure of global trade activity is continuing the downward spiral.

Another murderer has arrived
Sometimes one wonders what governments are doing. Apparently Sweden doesn’t have enough elected politicians and other criminals, now they are importing from prisons in other countries as well. Annika Östberg is a lady that helped out murdering two people in California 1981 and have until now been imprisoned “over there”. Now she has been transported to Sweden to serve the rest of her punishment, which could be as little as a couple of months. I don’t get it. Why should the Swedish taxpayers suddenly pay for living quarters and, in all probability, welfare for this killer? Sure, this lady might feel better and after a couple of decades in prisons one might even feel she has done her time, but still there is no real logic. But on the other hand, those politicians that sprung her are doing worse crimes every day and they get paid for it with money they steal from their victims. In that perspective it isn’t so bad to have another killer joining in the fun. So even if she should have been left to rot on the other side of the Atlantic, welcome home Annika!
Heroes in Moldova!
Students in Moldova have attacked the country's parliament. The stupid leader President Vladimir Voronin, has called for an end to the "destabilization” while no Moldavian radio or TV stations are broadcasting the events in true socialist spirit.
This is how it is done. It doesn’t matter if the election was rigged as these heroes claim or if it was “fair” as observers say. Socialists should be overthrown directly no matter what.
Great stuff and I’m putting a big hero status on these brave youngsters. This together with the fact that certain states/cities in America are starting to print their own money gives a little hope to the world and I can for once be a little optimistic.

They are selling your future
One should never celebrate or make some kind of positive statement about any kind of politician or political party. Sooner or even sooner they will disappoint. I have been praising the right-centre government in Sweden for not wasting resources and of course they almost immediately announce extra billions on this or that.
First two positive things. One; they do not spend as much as the left would do. Second; this takes the edge of the last big “argument” the socialist has since this is the only thing they might gain momentum on; promising lots of billions they don’t have. I also have a slightly higher confidence in the current government’s ability to handle state finances. In other words, tactically speaking, this is a great move. The masterful tactician* and great politician* (*not a positive judgement) that Reinfeldt is, he knows this knocks the opposition for a second count. The socialists will of course claim this isn’t enough, but not with any credibility and without the lefties really explaining were all the extra billions comes from, this issue is pretty much dead.
But there it stops. This is stupid. The idiotic Swedish government is now, before the real crisis, wasting away reserves that will be needed and making more money available. All they need now is to print even more money and have some industry sector heading towards a big crisis and Sweden will end up beside UK and America in bad positioning. From now on (well pretty much already) all Sweden can do is borrow and once a government started to go down this road you can bet your life savings it will continue. And they will “need to” because as said, this is only the beginning. We have many years ahead of us with this recession and if (which it will) this recession goes over to be a full depression the game is over. The Swedish government is consequently selling out the country for some very expensive votes.
What they ought to be doing is to cut expenditures, a lot. There is several departments and governmental project that can be put to rest forever and there is still publicly own companies to sell, it might be at a low price, but it would be worth it. And let companies and banks fall, if they cannot make it, they shouldn’t. Higher unemployment and more people on social welfare at this stage might sound bad, but the alternative is worse. Also they should encourage higher interest rates (which hardly anyone else will agree with me on). This partly so people don’t spend their last savings and instead save more and partly for preventing any bubbles in the economy from growing. Lastly, IF they want to spend money, they should do it on cutting taxes or putting money on infrastructure and research, things that will come in handy if/when the crisis turns around.
We are going to have a crisis and it is going to last for a long while. And if I’m right, this will be really really bad before we might see the light. If the world’s economies don’t stop what they are doing, it might never end. People should demand a cut in expenditures from the government and local councils should be turning down this extra money, but intellect is a scarce commodity so I have no hope for that scenario.

Some great news
The United Kingdom’s public finances have deteriorated so much since November that the basic rate of income tax would need to rise by the equivalent of 8 percentage points to bring government borrowing back on track by 2015-16, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said on Monday. FT
Car sales in Britain have fallen by more than 200,000 in the first three months of the year, triggering fresh calls from the industry for a car scrappage scheme in this month's budget.
Guardian
Somali pirates have seized a British-owned cargo ship and a Taiwanese ship, maritime officials say, after capturing three other vessels over the weekend.
Japan is to implement another fiscal stimulus plan of more than 10tn yen ($99bn; £66bn) to fight the recession. It comes on top of 12tn yen of stimulus spending that has already been agreed. The new sum amounts to more than 2% of the annual output of Japan's economy.
MUMBAI: India's iron ore exports in the just-ended 2008/09 year may have fallen 8 per cent and could fall a further 15-20 per cent in 2009/10, a senior official at Essel Mining & Industries Ltd said on Monday.

Bloody boohooing idiots
The message is clear, young girls in Sweden are under so much pressure in school that they burn out before they even loose their virginities. An article from the organisation BRIS (translation: Children’s right in society) argues that the government isn’t doing enough to save poor defenceless children from appending doom. It is a heart-bleeding story of an overlooking government and suffering children dying because of neglect. A study from the world health organisation that is quoted claims that 67 percent of Sweden’s fifteen year old girls are highly stressed by school-work and anxiety is growing. Self inflicting wounds and even suicides are apparently high up on the list of things these girls are thinking of. Billions in extra founds and some additional health-person, with one semester at a university studying gender rolls, sitting at school nodding at complaints from youths and giving them complementary birth control pills, seems to be BRIS way to solve this problem.
IF what BRIS says is true; how about this notion: Let them suffer! We are so pampered and so fixated with helping everyone with the slightest tiny problem that we are creating even more problems. If everything these girls hear is how neglected they are, how bad position they are in and how big problems they all have, what do you think is going to happen?
Life is a blood-spattered struggle and in life we all face adversities, hardship and neglect. We all end up in accidents, we get mugged, we get raped, we get sick, we loose jobs. This goes for everyone, old as young, rich as poor, men as well as women. Relatives might die in cancer, your loved one might leave you, and your children might get run over by a 47tons truck. Wars, pestilence, financial crises, miscarriage, ending up in a wheelchair, drugs, personal bankruptcy, heart attacks and millions of other things happens all around us. If these young women don’t manage to handle school, how the hell are they going to do with children of their own while bills are piling up? Stop cuddling with everyone! Life isn’t a movie were there is a beginning, a middle and a happy ending. We are all going to grow old and die.
It seems we have become so soft and week that as soon as anything is wrong we need support groups and governmental aid. But we are not soft, we are not week. Humans have taken their ill equipped bodies that should have been preyed on by pretty much every other animal on this planet and we went out and we conquered. Despite things like religion, socialism and Boy George we go on fighting and overcoming obstacles that no other species could. We rule this planet and whenever we use our brains there is nothing we cannot handle. And women have been suffering throughout history handling both homes and children while working. Give me one male that could manage childbirth and doing all the things that women do daily without falling apart. History might be ruled by men, but no one can convince me that women are the weaker sex. Stop with the “supporting” and stop regarding girls as helpless idiots that cannot handle anything except listening to Brittney Spears, that’s the very thing that created the problem in the first place. This bloody boohooing needs to stop or we will, for the first time ever, stop trying and just die.

Living in the sewers? Great idea!
It seems that Italian police have found more than 100 immigrants, including 24 Afghan children, living in the sewer system beneath railway stations in Rome. Everyone seems appalled by this and journalists who thrive on writing heart-breaking stories are having good times. Me, I’m thinking that these people actually had the right notion. Since I read a great book, which name or author I cannot remember at this moment, that had a story about people living in the sewers in New York, I have been thinking that’s the thing to do. According to that book many people, in real life, actually chose to live like that to get away from a crazy world. People with education, good jobs and prosperous lives goes under ground to live with homeless people and drug addicts and they do this to get off the radar, get away from horrifying taxes and governmental restrictions. Even if many claims this to be urban legends, it is still a comforting thought that there are people who actually run from the cesspool of “the real world” to have a more free and more human existence. I have actually been contemplating this for a while and if it wasn’t for the lack of sun and having a hard time finding a good internet connection there is a good chance I might choice that alternative life.
It is a mad world in the company of wars and Gordon Brown with mad people all over the globe always taking the collective and stupid roads towards hell. The constant increasing totalitarian society creeping closer and closer with restrictions, laws and taxes oozing all over everything in our lives, makes you wonder why even bother trying. Instead you could choice a life outside any zip code, outside the grasp of public officials and as an alternative living within a more human code of conduct. I’m not talking about poverty as a way to get closer to God like that murderess evil Mother Teresa bitch. Nor am I mentioning this as a salute to drugs or filth. I’m simply stating that if one could make a decent living in sewers (which I believe you could) that would be a better existence than being constantly monitored and controlled. Also to get away from the vast majority of idiotic people of this world could never be wrong.
These people who got found in tunnels in Rom will now be taking care of by social workers, get some soup and then be thrown around different systems and/or get sent back to wherever they came from. They might not have choice to live underground but when that depression hits us very soon, they might wanna get back to the comfort of those dark tunnels. If anyone ever want to create a society underground or find another way of living a happier and more free lives, please let me know.

Great flick
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, do it. Great stuff with a very young Jennifer Connelly. Another tip with the same lady is ‘A Beautiful mind’; also a classic movie and one of the few were critics actually got it right. This is just a teaser, but some good music.
Waking up
There is nothing like waking up to sirens going off, lots of Scottish construction workers running around your bed while you are being naked having a real bad case of hangoverish. Fun, really. And then go online; watching the news from Sweden, all you see is the face of ugliest political leader in the world complaining about another ugly female. After that you realize you probably screwed up once or twice the night before and that hangover keeps reminding you that there is nothing to drink or eat at home except beer. So what do you do?
You turn on Iron Maiden and get a recuperation beer of course. I’m a great man.

Oh, the backstabbing B*
Mona Sahlin, just a week ago, told the Swedish media that she had full confidence in the head of the Swedish unions, Wanja Lundby-Wedin, and wanted her to stay. Now all of the sudden, she cannot get rid of this union gangster from boards fast enough. For once I almost feel sorry for the Wanja character, getting hanged to save Mona’s backside. Rightfully the head of the unions in Sweden should be blamed for a lot of things, including some of the resent fall in opinion polls for the social democrats, but this is like having the blind blaming the deaf for not hearing the train coming. Does Mona Sahlin really believe that even the easily duped Swedish citizens will fall for her interpretation of Brutus? She could at least have had some spokesperson do her dirty work for her, that's how politics work. I’m starting to wonder if Mona really understands the political game.
The freak show that is DN
Seldom one reads some editorial in a big newspaper that is so riddled with holes you hardly can imagine what the author might have been drinking while writing it. Something awfully low in intellect and preaching a sinister agenda, hopefully unintentionally, that you normally only come across among the totalitarian insincerities. But the Swedish paper Dagens Nyheter (DN) has managed to scribble together one of the worst pieces of journalism since 30’s Berlin. It is thanks to helpful stupidities like this paper that the world keeps ending up in despair and totalitarianism.
First of all they claim that the g20 meeting was a complete success, which in a way is true. If you want a depression, massive unemployment and people suffering, it was a tremendous success. Next the hack writer speaks highly of Gordon Brown, the complete scumbag that has ruined a nation and is now selling the last valuables to increase MP’s salaries. And then further praises of unity and how all the attendants can go home happy to have accomplished something great. I want you all to remember this editorial, maybe even buy this issue and save it and when the shit really hits the fan; dip it in some flammable substance, then take it with you up to the office of this newspaper, find the one in charge and stuff it far up were the sun don’t shine, but leave a little bit outside for appropriate ignition.
Let’s look at some quotes:
“Since so much of this tough economic crisis is about confidence…”
What the hell are they talking about? Should people really have confidence when all their savings goes up in smoke? Should investors feel confident when the governments steal everything in order to put together stimulus packages to save the very beings they are stealing it from? Obama is putting together an in-house fighting force of several hundreds of thousands trusty youth all around America, is that something to put your trust in? Gordon Brown is training troops for fighting in Britain, against their own populace, does that sound inspiring? Should we relax and feel easier now when the monkeys in power have decided to spend funds they do not have and creating hyper inflation? And do these so called journalists really think that the average Joe felt a bit uneasy and then, oops, economic crisis? Open a book, use your grey matter and try to understand the issue, be journalists and do your job. It is stupidities like this that makes one really put a lot of confidence behind the claim that everyone on this planet is idiots.
“The final impression from the g20 meeting is a bright one; no conflicts, no unnecessary arguments, no finger pointing. Actually a wise effort in order to put IMF in a position to take on the crisis”
First of all, there should be finger pointing, at several governments in the United States for getting to much involved in the real estate market and imposing to much of laws and restrictions on the financial markets, which is the main cause of this recession. But also at China for keeping both their own currency down and the dollar up and lending money they know they are never getting back. And all the rest should also get a finger in each eye for the huge red numbers in their balance sheets and for printing and borrowing money to keep a rotten system rolling. But most of all there should be some chopping of fingers on the Marxist’s Obama and Brown for bankrupting their nations and driving home a worldwide stimulus madness that will darken our economies for decades to come.
To be fair, this editorial also addresses some negative aspects, but the reason with the article is to say that: all is well, now you can all relax. The stimulus will save us. No worries. Happy times again. The people in charge are in agreement, rejoice. Please start spending again. It is almost as if this paper has been bought by some stock exchange people who would like to get rid of their winnings before the real crisis hits. Don’t believe them folks; we are going down, collectively we are going way down and this by collective means because of problems created by collective thinking. Isn’t socialism fun?

Fiscal responsibility should be rewarded
Normally I wouldn’t give a crap if the Swedish government stays in power or not. They are pretty much thinking, saying and for the most part doing the same thing as the left opposition. The government has also imposed some of the worst fascists laws ever seen and created hundreds of thousands of “criminals” that are now being hunted down by both the government and by some thugs working for the “entertainment” industry. Still it is good news that the government actually led in the polls now, this because of one simple fact: they do not want to spend, spend and spend like crazy maniacs, which the lefties of course want to do. This current recession we are in now that will go on for a long time and most likely turn into the worst depression in our entire history and that demands fiscal responsibility.
I’m not saying the right-centre government is doing the right thing, no, what I’m saying is that if the very rich and hypocritical Wanja Lundby-Wedin together with the communists and the tree-huggers had the power today, Sweden would be in the same big trouble as UK and America are in now, possible even worse since Sweden is so completely dependent on trade and the international markets. The lefties apparently have tens or even hundreds of billions more to spend, magically appearing from nowhere, and this they want to do at a time when throwing away all savings is the same as saying goodbye to prosperity and hello to poverty. The Swedish government and the Swedish people have very little to spend and if that last buffer goes away, my home country will end up right beside the poorest parts of Africa in the near future. The world is heading for a big fall; don’t let the socialists convince you that throwing tax money around and borrowing huge amount to spend even further is a good idea. It is the absolute worst thing you could ever do. So even if I do detest Prime Minister Reinfeldt and his fascist stupidities, the alternative is far, far, gargantuan, unbelievable worse!

rape is hilarious
If you ever have been raped or if you have been really close to someone that have been raped, ”fun” isn’t really the word you are looking for to describe it. But there is also something liberated in joking about things that freighted and upset us. A way to handle. Also you should never advocate that talking about something and making jokes about it never can be can funny and then try to outlaw or ban it. This is not only a question of free speech, it is also a way to shutting up discussion which in turn means you make the subject shakier around the edges and consequently making it taboo to talk about. In a way you can even make victims feel more ashamed and more hurt because you are telling them that their pain is so severe that you cannot joke about it. Now go out and buy a gun and if someone ever tries to force themselves on you, shot the bastard. When you get out of jail years later for protecting yourselves, watch these clips and enjoy it.
I’m going to get myself member of that funny facebook site that is probably getting banned for making jokes. You all have fun now.

Give the woman a polar bear
A part of the Swedish government thinks that it is too expensive to build and own skyscrapers. Consequently they are pondering on subsidize it with a “skyscrapers bonus”. In other words they are saying to construction companies: Build some stuff you cannot afford to build - because we have made it too expensive - and we give you money! And then we send the bill to the taxpayers that cannot afford to live in these new buildings… unless… we give the taxpayers extra incentive to borrow and/or we subsidize it! Yeah! And the taxpayers can pay for that too! God, we are so smart. Wonder why the Americans didn’t think of this, it’s brilliant. But of course we need to impose some restrictions and make sure that these things are built were we want them to be and of course we need to carefully choice the “right” builders to increase competition because we believe in capitalism.
The spokesperson for the Moderat party, Kristina Alvendal, is quoted saying:
“Something needs to be done to make construction companies to really start thinking vertically and build accordingly.”
This is like a really bad joke, but it happens to be true. Apparently the main decision is the governments to make. Maybe they say no, but to even consider this idiocy, and at a time like this, is both frightening and funny. This Alvedal person should be forced to live at a homeless shelter eating rats; I could actually give some pennies for that kind of housing if she ended up there. And let’s give her a nice carnivorous and very hungry polar bear as pet.

Buying a wheelbarrow
Some purchases are not that easy. Wheelbarrows for example. A wheelbarrow is a handy tool well designed to distribute weight of the load between the wheel and the operator so it enables you to carry more weight than you could do alone. The capacity is variable of course, but somewhere around 170 liters is an average. And with that capacity you should be able to carry with you projectile hardware or large bundles of papers much easier. But how do you know which one to choice? If one wheel breaks you might need a repairman available not too far away since you are short one barrow it will take a lot of effort getting the compensation in place. Should I go for that small hand propelled machine especially designed to be pushed and guided by single person? Or do I want something more rugged and hardy that can manage all kinds of weather?
When shopping for a wheelbarrow, it feels necessary to first determine your intended purpose of the wheelbarrow. Gardeners for example generally prefer the garden smaller wheelbarrow because it offers plenty of room for gardening tools, potting soil, and plants but is still very maneuverable. Construction workers however need something tougher to cope with the harder environment they are working in. My thinking however is that I need something in-between. I would like to have something big enough so I don’t need to go several times back and from the soup-kitchen getting a meal, but also it should be easy to handle and small enough to fit in my shelter.
Furthermore should I buy with one wheel or two? I mean the two-wheel type is a bit more stable so you don’t knock over that big pile of bundles or whatever you carry and, if used for your sleeping arrangement, it will be more stable. The more universal one-wheel type however is easier to maneuver and if you want to unload, for instance in a bank or in a shop, the one-wheel type is easier to handle and trouble-free turning around those empty shelves.
And then you have the material it is made of. Should I go for the plastic type or something in steel? Both commodities might be scarce in the future and you do not want the wheelbarrow to be tempting to other squatters. Maybe I can find one in wood? But wait, wood could be used in fires, might not be such a good idea. I did find one wheel-barrow nicknamed ‘The Big Bertha’ and that has a nice bombastic Germanic sound to it and it was apparently equipped with flat-free tires and that would minimize my problem with trying to find a new wheel if the old one were to roll over some barbwire. But the Chinese seem to have a lot of nice ones being sold so this is a hard decision.
Just in case anyone missed my innuendo:

Hard to formulate thoughts
I must admit I’m having very hard time writing something since all my predictions have come true and we now only can wait for this spectacle to move into the next phase. Instead I have been talking to my parents and told them to try to sell the house as quickly as possible. Don’t know if they will listen, but I will try to convince them. Have also talked to some friends to at least tell them what is going on. Most people don’t really understand the severity of our situation. To be honest I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around it, despite predicting this would happen. It is hard to realize that people not only are complete morons but also that they willingly walk toward the cliff, again. History has apparently not taught us anything. If history keeps repeating itself the next phase will include the next Hitler or the next Stalin, probably several of them. And most likely people will gladly jump of the edge, just as before.
And just so you all know: United States have, during the last six months, more than doubled the amount of bills and coins, but in reality it is actually much more. And the printer is just getting warm...
Just a little reminder:
At the end of WWI the Reichmark was trading at 9:1 against the US dollar. By January of 1922 the ratio of marks to dollar was 192:1. By the time the Rentenmark was introduced in November 1923 the exchange rate was 4 four trillion marks to the dollar.
In essence; get stronger kids

Get used to it
Another nutcase have gone berserk and started shooting people. This is horrifying but I do believe you should all get used to it. If you thought it was a lot of that going on before, watch the madness increase the further down the path of inflation and socialism we go. I’m just amazed it’s not been a rise in those kinds of events already. When your possessions aren’t worth anything anymore and it is impossible to get a job your intellect will subside a bit. If you are used to the finer things in life, but suddenly find yourself starving, your government promises to fix everything for the thousand time, your car get repossessed and you are angry at everything and everyone, then this will happen for those who snap. And there is going to be a lot of snapping going on the world in the near future.
In America these kinds of events will make legislators and anti-gun people demand for more and more restrictions and argue for abolishment of gun rights. Governments don’t want armed citizen, not a good idea when everything goes down the drain, people might actually start shooting at officials and politicians and we cannot have that…

New World Order – my newly shaved ass
Among every band of bandits there is always one that is worse than the others. This is not necessarily the leader, rather a stooge with less flattering appearance that tries to compensate for his ugliness by being more sinister. Gordon Brown is such a man.
After he and his partners in crime had decided to ruin the world’s economy he stated the following:
"I think a new world order is emerging with the foundation of a new progressive era of international co-operation,"
Feeding the conspiracy theories is kind of fun, but in a way he is right. The world will never be the same. Oh, we are so screwed…

End Of World - Apocalypse Nowish
As stated before, you might wanna start looking for alternatives. Now it is starting to get urgent. Time is up. You need to make a choice and stick by it. Don’t think I’m kidding, I’m not. This is completely serious. When that depression, I mean full bloody hell on earth, hits us soon, you do not want to stand there without a plan. We are probably all screwed anyways, but this way you at least stand a chance. Read below and make your choice. Maybe you have some idea that I haven’t thought about, but whatever you would like to do, start planning for it now because when that shit really hits the fan, this is going to go beyond anything we have ever seen ever.
1. Prepare
Even if I’m totally wrong and all those who thinks about the same as me also is wrong, it never hurt to have some extra candles, dried up food packages and similar items at home. There can always be a black-out, a sudden attack from a foreign nation, riots on the streets or maybe some shortage of things if (when) some businesses go down. So this is a good advice no matter what. Keep some extra things at home. And if you can, get guns.
2. Stockpiling
This is about the same as above, but with a more thought behind it and in bigger amounts. Having food and other things necessary to survive several months might however also be kind of risky. When all those people who didn’t think ahead or if that under-fire government starts searching for alternatives you might be in some danger. So you might also start thinking about moving to a more secure location (see nr 3) and/or getting protection from others (see nr 5)And if you can, get guns.
3. Moving away
Moving should preferably be done before the mayhem starts. Flights might be canceled; boats might be without oil, so you need to think this thru. Also your choice of location is important. You should look for a place where you can grow your own crops and/or having a good food source, like the ocean, nearby. This is how far I have come myself. I’m looking at Islands in the southern Atlantic mainly. Some Island where I can grow bananas and make my own vodka. And if you can, get guns.
4. Becoming a welfare case
This you might consider if you are going to stay where you are. But if (when) riots happens and maybe even wars break out and people are crying for help everywhere, the first thing government is going to do is to cut back on those poorest, oldest and most needy. So if you are considering this option, you should be a minority group and have other attributes to use to your advantage. Being a handicapped single black and Muslim woman with children might do it. But you still need that voice and some power so you can show the rest of the suckers that you are entitled to things first and most. Be careful though, sometimes those mobs and governments needs scapegoat (se nr 7) so prepare to adjust your skin color and such. And if you can, get guns.
5. Become a drug dealer
Being a drug dealer is slightly risky thanks to the government’s laws, but also, again thanks to the government, its great pay! And people feeling miserable will need their fix. The only thing to really look out for is other drug dealers. Try to solve this problem by forming a union you can call ‘Cosa Nostra’ or whatever comes to mind. To seek out allies (se nr 1) might also be in your favor. And if you can, get guns.
6. Become a prostitute
The world’s oldest profession is normally not that sensitive for depressions. Sure you might need to lower your standards and charge less, but even in worst times people will be paying for sex. And if you are an adolescence, hey! Great! This might actually be your best choice. And keep a eye on those in nr 7, often closely linked to prostitutes and if you snatch them before they get power; oh mama. And if you can, get guns.
7. Become a politician
Joining politics should be done before the depression. Not completely necessary, but it is good to say: “I told you so”. Helps your credibility when you are pointing a finger at those Jews, Muslims or rich people you have targeted as your particular scapegoat. As long as you can blame someone and deliver a nice sounding solution that is easy to sell, you will be fine. With a bit of luck you might even end up as Fürer and can then have a blast. And if you can, get lots of guns.
Make your choice and please remember, get a gun.
Judgment day
So am finally getting what I was looking for. There is no turning back anymore, this is it people, the final nail in the coffin. Temporarily jumps on the stock markets and some happy idiots out there might rejoice over the g20 fascism for a while. But that’s just for the moment. Soon those with any inkling of intellect will collect their winnings and sell their stocks, and soon after that the dollar will collapse and more companies will go down. And keep a close eye on China, when that country really start to crumble, it is time to pack your bags and plan for the end. This is it, the next depression is soon here. There is no question of IF anymore, it is just a matter of time and there is not much time left. I give you a maximum of 2 years with any form of normality and with “normality” I mean massive demonstrations, increased numbers of terrorist attacks, enormous unemployment and for you all: looking forward to the worst crisis anyone have ever seen.
These baboons are some of the worst criminals in the history of mankind. I hope that those of you who remember this moment in the future, if there are any of you present at that time, will have some of these pictures left and make appropriate use of them.
If you want to know what caused this crisis and what could have been done about it, read the post below this one. If you want to know what your options are, read the post that comes next. We are all royally fucked beyond all comprehension.

What you need to know – please read
What I write here is both what started the crisis and how to fix it. It is not magic, it is not difficult and after a couple of minutes reading this you will be aware. I hope you read this and really understand it so we can save the world, because that is how far we have come.
Since this is a financial and economical crisis it is important to know something you do not get taught in school and what most economists and politicians don’t know or don’t care about. I’m going to present you with three facts and then explain them. If you truly understand this, you can say you know better than all the people at the g20 conference, you will be smarter than all the central banks economists put together and you will understand something that journalists never will.
1. It is very possible (and this happens all the time) that a country can have a growing economy counted in GDP, low inflation and still get poorer. Why? Because of borrowing. The people and/or the government can be borrowing money and since GDP mainly take into account the spending, not the debt, this can increase poverty. Especially when this is combined with lower production and that the money being spent only is spent, not invested or saved. This means people is only getting stuff, not producing them. This is what Peter Schiff and many others tried to explain several years ago when the American economy went extremely “well” and GDP was growing and inflation was low. Schiff with several others (including myself) told people they were actually getting poorer, but everyone shaked their heads and regarded us as madmen. And this is why United States today is more or less bankrupt. If you do not produce, only borrow in order to buy things, you get deeper and deeper in debt and consequently poorer and poorer. And what are the governments with Obama as frontrunner doing to fix the crisis? That’s right; borrowing more money to spend it! It is not production they are putting the money on, it is not savings and it is hardly even investments (some, but not enough) it is almost only spending. In other words, they are doing the exact same thing that is the main cause of the crisis in order to fix it, but at a higher and faster rate. Can you see the fun as I can?
2. You can be producing things faster, better and more and get higher salaries all the time, but still getting less and less for your money. Why? Because of the increase in money on the market. If the amount of money in the system grows more than the production rate, you will get less and less for you money in regard to prices. This also means that if this happen; you are getting taxed! This is the point you probably have hardest to understand and you really need to know what money is to fully grasp this, but think of it in terms of supply and demand. If something is plentiful, the price on it goes down. If something is scarce, the price goes up. This is also true for money. This is the second thing that is the basis of today’s crisis and also the main reason why production is going down in relation to GDP. And what are governments also doing to avert the crisis? They are printing more money!
3. Low interest rates make us borrow and spend more, high interest rates make us borrow less and save more. This most of you probably do understand. If rates goes up and makes it more expensive to borrow, you will not borrow or at lest borrow less. This is the third big reason for this crisis because in several countries the interest rates have been artificially kept down by governments. They have forced central banks to lower rates or they have put in their own public banks or loaning institutes on the market to make people borrow more money. This is very obvious in America were the governmental institutions of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae practically gave away money to an very low interest rate, and of course people took them and went out spending them on things they in reality couldn’t afford. This in combination with 1 (and 2) above is the real problems and why we are in deep, deep trouble. Because, again, what are governments trying to do to divert the crisis? Yes, that’s right; they are trying to force people to borrow more so they can spend more to keep GDP up and growing.
----
To this we could add other things like trade and so forth, but to keep it simple, above is what you really need to know. The only additional thing you really need to keep one brain cell focused on is the restrictions, laws and other things that keep the market from correcting these faults by it self. Since I know most of you who read this do not agree with me about the markets fantastic ability to ‘govern’ itself, we can skip that, because what I have just told you is too important to not focus on. If you truly understand these 3 facts you now know how this crisis started, but more importantly you also know why the things governments are doing all over the world will not help. Even IF all the stimulus and bail-outs “work” in the sense that people start spending again and the market recuperate some, nothing have changed. This crisis will continue over and over and over again, until politicians and/or you, the people, demand a true solution based on what I now have told you.
This is also why it is very important not to spend and not to do what OECD and the world leaders are saying. Instead you should praise the Swedish Government for not doing the same (They are not doing completely 100% the right things, but they are the example to follow). And you should not blame banks making interest rates higher, that’s a good thing at this time! We are going to have a crisis, no matter what we do, but the length, the depth and the seriousness of it is dependent on people realizing what is said in this text. If you still want governments to spend to save your job or if you still go out and demonstrate under those red flags, do not blame me when you and the rest of the idiots are doing much, much worse then today. Please believe me; this can only get worse (catastrophic), not better.

She Wants my... PACKAGE
An oldie. Great stuff. Could actually be our collective song for being controlled by politicians all over the world throughout history and into the future. Yeah!
Hilarious Newsday 3
Sales of new vehicles in the United States fell dramatically in March.GM down 45 percent, Toyota down 39 percent, Ford down 41 percent, Honda down 25 percent and BMW down 20 percent. March was the 17th consecutive month in which industry sales declined. Signs in December and January that the market might have been nearing the bottom were followed by larger drops in February and March. :)
This one has a special place in my heart. If you figure out why, I buy you a beer.

Financial companies led US stocks towards their second consecutive session of gains on Wednesday as good economic data countered early fears about the state of the economy. Equities dropped steeply on Wednesday morning as figures showed that 742,000 jobs had been lost from the private sector during March, about 100,000 more than had been expected.
