Have been roaming around the net today and I noticed, like so many times before, that many demonstrations and organizational committees being formed and even some exchange of information regarding certain attributes used for making things that goes boom. Of course it’s mainly French (who else?) and German socialist coming together in a beautiful harmony of stupidity. These idiots that should be very happy now when the world is heading towards even more socialism than we already have, will, of course, make things worse. I could, of course, mention a wide range of countries that will experience similar groupings doing smaller insurrections in the near future, I could also help the police out (they should keep track themselves, but incompetence is king within law-enforcement around the globe) and point them towards certain sites or groupings, but strangely I lack incentive to do so.
The point I would like to make, however, is that these smaller thingies will not have any real impact on the ruling elite; instead it will strengthen ‘em. Even if almost all people on this planet love socialism, the extremists do not really tickle the normal citizen’s sympathy nerve. There are two consequences that will arise out of some hundreds or thousands of people burning cars, thrashing McDonald’s and throwing stones at the police.
Firstly it means that the highly intrusive laws regarding internet and our personal life gain argument in the eyes of the general public. If the police can use (supposedly, but hardly ever in reality) those regulations to catch one or two potential stone throwers it will work in favor of the elitists. Also it will probably mean that the European Union and certain countries will be more inclined to go enhance and expand surveillance of the populace.
The second consequence is that minor clashes will only create more antagonism between groups. Just imagine if many of those thrashing things are Muslims or black. Imagine a couple of very young guys being shot by the police. Imagine that all burnings and destruction happens in a neighborhood consistent of mainly families and those families get very frightened but also that some of them get hurt. All these examples and many more will put one group against another, a third group against a fourth and so on. Some lefties will love this since it is in their nature to put one cluster of people against another one, but what they don’t understand is that the ones being toughened by this is the government. If groups fight amongst themselves instead of against the enemy class it means that not only can those that rule us impose more restrictions or even martial-law, it also means that less people from the silent majority will side with the lawmakers and seek out their protection. In other words the coming year - when we will see a lot of these events – we will see a decrease in freedom and even worse economic development and in the wake of this comes those funny little men with hysterical answers to a hysterical people.
It is the normal citizen that should rebel and should do it in masses. It is the silent majority that haven’t figured out how deep in shit we really are that should overpower the power structure and make the world to a better place. The lefties will never do that, they want more of the same stupidity that got us into this mess. So if you really want a change, if you really want a free country with another governing structure, please get the knowledge, get the information and be prepared to move before the leftie extremists helps the enemy class ruin what is left of our lives.

The end of the line! Part I – US banks
The number of bank failures in the US this year, so far, is 57 compare with 25 last year. So even if we disregard the 3 bank failures during 2007, the total amount of banks going down during this depression is now 82. The total cost to deposit insurance fund from the failures can now start to be counted in billions. While JP Morgon and Goldman Sachs fiddles with their books and funnels bail-out money to show a nit little profit in a move that would make any cartoon villain green from envy, most of the banks in America are falling down like domino pieces.
One of the “green shoots” we have been hearing about from America is that losses on home mortgages is leveling off, but even if this, in a way, is true; commercial real estate loans remain a hot spot of potential trouble and if the depression keeps on going, defaults on the high-risk loans will go through the roof. Failing banks, failing businesses and stores losing customers means more bankruptcies which in turn mean more defaulting on commercial property. Since many regional banks hold large numbers of those we can soon expect a lot more banks going down when that bubble bursts. So if anyone think that banks in their perticular country is going bad, thats, so far, nothing against the US.
The result of this is not only that the depression continues, it will worsen in the US and since the US still is very important for the world economy and since many US banks have nice little loans and such towards the rest of the world, this is truly apocalyptical, don’t you think? There is also another consequence and that is that there is already talks about and planning for; *drums please* another stimulus round! That’s right, the enemies in Washington are already thinking about printing and loaning more money in order to spread the inflationary dollar out into the system. Even the most hardy democrat or people with deep socialist persuasion will regard such a move with a slight suspicion. Shouldn’t the first one (the biggest spending spree in history of humanity) have helped? But politicians have no choice, they have chosen this path, what do you expect? That they roll over and admit they were wrong and that they spent trillions of dollars for nothing? Pfffff… please. In other words; more stimulus and more bail-out is coming soon. I give the dollar 1 year maximum, before it collapses.
Finally I need to mention the gold and silver manipulations again. Certain financial institutes have been issuing futures contract for gold that supposedly can be settled in shares in an Exchange Traded Gold Fund. Apparently no one really knows if that Exchange Traded Gold Fund holds the equivalent of shares issued in gold. Ever wondered why the price of gold isn’t going up despite trillions upon trillions of newly printed money and a deep recession?
It almost looks and feels planned...

Why this world is shitty
I support anti-gay activists…
Sometimes you need to side with the very strange people because it is the right thing to do. Today some woman-weasel from the Center Party (in reality a left party) has an article in one of Sweden’s newspapers claiming that a all pastor(s) should be forced to carry out marriages for people of the same gender. That a politician is considering using the mighty power of the state to force people within a certain faith and an entire organization to obey her (and presumably the governments) wishes is really scary and horrifying. In the article this unfathomable gibbering chimp concludes that this is a morality issue and that any pastor that ever wants to marry anyone also need to marry people of the same sex.
She is right; this is a morality issue, a big one. It is about the right of practicing your own religion and about freedom of choosing organization. It is about freedom of expression and the right to have own opinions. If some certain sect wants exclude gay, bi, trans or heterosexual from their caricature of communion, let them. This should be an absolute right for the individual as well as for the voluntary organization people choice to be a part of. If a couple - regardless if they are bearer of penises or vaginas or any sort of combination of the two - feel the urge to put a ring on a finger and utter some magical spells to feel connected, they have the right to do so, but they have no right using the almighty forces of the government to compel a man/woman/organization to marry 'em.
I don’t care about religion, I’m an atheist. And I do not care about any kind of priest/pastor/rabbi or anything else religious since I think that all those people are evil and stupid morons. What I do care about, however, is that every single human has the right to be as stupid or religious as he/she wants just as it’s not anyone’s God-damned motherfucking business who people wants to sleep with or engage in (un)holy matrimony with. If you feel that this marriage thing is so damn important; go to another church, find another priest, change religion, take a cruise and let the captain marry you or go to city-hall. There are even openly gay politicians that are happy to put on the wedlock. Just don’t run to the government or to some sniffling excuse of a human and cry about some organization that won’t let you put on a ring within their mist.
Throughout the ages people have been prosecuted and condemned for being gay. Why? Because some people won’t allow other people to be who they are, say what they want, feel what they want and act in a way they want. Tell me again, what is the mentioned article really saying and what is this issue really about uhm? Every gay person supporting this intrusive and, clearly, deeply anti-human policy should be ashamed and take a long hard look in the mirror. If you really want to be accepted for who you are, shouldn’t you accept others with the same curtsey?

And here we go...
Almost six months ago I predicted that all we really needed was another war, more protectionism, a pestilence and/or that one or a couple of big companies like General Electric (GE) started to show very bad figures and the recession will tip over to being a depression.
In the wake of Swiney Flu, which media and the power elite is trying their very best to use as excuse for their shortcomings, and with an increase in protectionism there isn’t much left. Of course I already believe we are in a depression, graphs already shows this, but for representatives of the enemy class (journalists, politicians) to really acknowledge this fact will take longer. Remember that the same thing happen during the “Great Depression”. While stocks plummeted, people lost jobs and the economy went straight downhill, politicians, journalists and “economist” claimed, far into the 30’s, that the recession was temporary and that they did see “Green shoots” in the economy. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
GE has today released the results of their 2nd quarter and the profits have been cut in half. Not really disastrous numbers, but still enough for executives to cut personnel or maybe even cry for some stimulus money. It will be fun to see what this quarter holds for us, but if my predictions are correct things will go from really bad to worse this autumn and then over to catastrophic (much worse than anything ever seen) next year and GE and other companies will follow the downturn.
So what we are really waiting for is another war. As mentioned before this can as easily be a civil war in China as well as an American (Israeli) attack on Iran. Not that this is really needed anymore, the economies of this world is doing worse than even I thought. But much higher oil prices would fit perfectly in this little mess, especially since a large portion of all oil is used for transporting food and other commodities across the seas so just imagine what such events might do for the dire situation in Africa or the already short supplies of water in China. To all of this we can add the USD that will not last much longer. Fun fun fun…

Some of the facts you are not being told
A couple of things have been circulated in media recently that needs to be addressed. Since Journalists rarely (never) do their job, one need to rely on scuffed aside professors, real scientist and bloggers to find out the truth. No wonder they want to regulate or close down the Internet.
One such interesting thing that, to some extent, has been claimed is that obese people run a higher risk of attracting and dying from Swine flu. There is, however, no scientific findings supporting this. In fact the evidence states the complete opposite. In the US 13-14% of hospitalized for the H1N1 (the catchier name for Swiney Flu) is said to be obese. Since health statistic show that 34% of Americans are obese and if we to this ad the fact that most of those hospitalized in the US that were obese also suffered from diabetes, liver failure, heart failures and similar problems, we can actually conclude, with certainty, that plump fatties actually are highly underrepresented. In other words, if you want to avoid catching or dying from this Piggy disease, please go and buy 55 or so hamburgers.
According to some headlines claiming that H1N1 (not as fun that name, now is it?) is either a “new” strain or an “evolved” variation of earlier flues since it behave differently and is highly likely to attach itself on younger people. This is, of course, not really true. First of all H1N1 strains have always been part of seasonal flu and this “newly” identified strain is behaving much like typical seasonal H1N1 influenza strains, and that the virus goes for younger people is common for H1N1 strains hence there is nothing really different about this season.
We have also been reading about comparisons with the pandemic 1918 which in no way is relevant. The Spanish flu back then had a death rate around 2 percent, today Piggy Flu is just above 0,4% overall and around 0,15% in US, UK and Europe, which is actually slightly lower than any normal flu. The death rate is also going down for every report that WHO and other organisations release – the number of death in relation to the number of infected is less and less. Also, one need to remember that the Spanish flu hit the world during a time when food shortages, weaker immune systems and millions of refugees roamed around as a consequence of World War I. In addition to this one also need to remember that information regarding flu and potential cures and so on travels a lot faster today. Information that 90 years ago could take weeks or even months to reach relevant areas is today more or less instantaneous.
Then we have this fun thing about vaccination. The last time around the “swine flu” caused a scare in the US, during the 70’s, hundreds of people died or got very sick from vaccinations but very few confirmed deaths from the actual flu could be noticed. As an example if you are allergic towards certain things that is used to develop the vaccine it can be a death sentence injecting yourself. Please make sure before letting any needles close to your body.
I also need to ad my personal, not really scientific, belief that the immune system actually need to work out once in a while. Although I have read some scientist claiming the same, this is not proven. I firmly believe that if you always try to avoid bacteria or viruses, you actually stand a higher risk of getting really sick. Those white blood cells and other thing in your body that acts like your personal army are, as any army, in need of training and proper equipment in order to function. If they rarely get to act without the assistances of or even get replaced by injecting anti-virus and nibbling on painkillers, are they really up to the task when some real nasty thing enters your body?
Except for the last passage I collected these fact and data mainly from the American CDC, WHO, different science journals that among other places can be found here: Mongabay
I also constantly read (and steal from) this blogger that is one of the best information sources on the net. Fantastic site that cuts journalists into little pieces. If you ever want to visit a place were facts are discussed, not fiction or headlines, go there.

Mind control - The political reality
Once upon a time in Sweden I invited Sweden’s current Justice Mentalist Beatrice Ask to hold a lecture on the subjects of democracy and individual freedom. She held a magnificent speech on this topic that was much appreciated by the 40 or so attendees. During this speech, among other things, she clearly stated how important it is with privacy and intellectual freedom. She also manage to make a very good illustration how the voting process works and in doing so sounding like a modern Ayn Rand. Now, however, she has left such persuasions and is instead arguing for modern day fascism. As spokesperson during Sweden’s chairman status within EU the coming months, she is, of course, bound to a certain extent. In politics ideology goes out the window and the purpose becomes to get: “the best result possible” and with this in mind she need to support, defend and salute even a purely fascist suggestion like the Stockholm Programme and this even if she oppose it. I don’t know if she still believes in what she seemingly did before; if she does she is a hypocrite and a dangerous troop carrier for the enemy class. If she don’t, she is has become a true believer in autocracy and a very dangerous troop carrier for the enemy class. Either way; personal integrity, intellectual freedom and democracy is not on her agenda.
With this as a prelude I want to tell a little story how democracy and the elitists system really work.
There is no secret what I think about government in general and certain political bodies in particular. Even if my opinion on this matter as well as my purposed solution might be construed as “to much”, I do believe that most average Joe’s, in pretty much every country on this planet, agree with me on some basic facts. Firstly I think that the general public are in agreement that politicians are overpaid and hardly ever address the real problems people see in every day life, and when politicians actually do act it’s normally too little/much, too late and too expensive. My experience is also that people, despite wanting the welfare state, rather see the money go to “main tasks” like medicare, healthcare, roads and the justice system rather than to purely political projects. And the fact of the matter is that once you show numbers on were the money actually goes, people often get very upset and might even question if it is really true, because most citizens have a firm believe that things should be rational and work in a rational way. But somewhere around here it stops, people do not take the next necessary step towards realizing the real faults and horrid pits of what can only be described as a Orwellian nightmare. There are no rational thoughts whatsoever among the political elite and their main purpose of existing is not to help the poor or the elderly as they so often point out. Instead a government exists, thrives and expands on the basis of selfishness and in-law politics and around this revolves the main tasks that all politicians have; how to best trick us into voting for them.
In UK the number if well paid politicians with authoritarian position looking down at their constituencies is today 3 times the amount then during the time of the British Empire. In some magical way much fewer politicians and bureaucrats were needed to administrate several countries and a landmass and populace twenty times that of today’s Britain. Bear in mind that this was before Internet and instantaneous information flow, before such things as faxes or even workable phones. With today’s technology and looking at the size of things the amount of public official should be a 1/3 of back then, not 3 times as many. In Sweden we find similar numbers, although never an empire to compare with, there is still hard to see why a country of only 9 million really need over 20 000 (depending how you count it can be slightly less or much more) full time leaches with well over normal salaries to make up the government. Even IF we really need politicians deciding over things like deep sea fishing, construction in foreign countries, what statue we should have in a round-a-bout and similar tasks, why the hell does it take so many of them?
But the reality of government doesn’t stop with this pointlessness. The worst thing, in regard to expenditure, is that most political institutions have no incentive to save or take care of money diverted to them. Instead the opposite is true. In most countries a political institution gets a chunk of tax money that is supposed to last through a fiscal year. However, this amount need to be spent because if it’s not then clearly that particular institution do not need as much and consequently get less money the next fiscal year. Of course this means that almost all institutions will spend all the money, but it also means that most will actually spend even more money in a scheme to get more money next year. This is why pretty much every branch of the government keeps expanding, not only money wise, but also in amount of personnel and governing politicians.
But of course it doesn’t stop there either. The faceless oligarchy of thieves that make up our ruling elite is also supported by an underclass of useless drone’s i.e. public employees. These people are directly or indirectly aware that their current wellbeing is highly dependent on the good notion of the state and consequently will oppose most or all cuts in expenditures. Politicians are not stupid and acknowledge this fact and they in turn have no incentive to diminish this pile since public employees in very high numbers vote for, support and/or celebrate any political decision made to enhance or expand these particular areas.
The normal reaction from those that support this system is that we are living in a democracy and we have elected those in charge so if someone wants to change the system they need vote for change or move away. If we address the last bit first, why should anyone be forced to move in order to live a happier and have a free life? Is the majority really that omnipotent so the minority feeling or opinion should never be addressed? And on the issue of voting; is it a good thing that people can vote for racist, communist or fascist parties? And even if a single vote makes a difference in regards to who gets elected – which it doesn’t – and if a vote makes a difference in regards to decisions – which it very seldom does – and if we disregard the very immorality of voting, there is still one issue that all people should be aware of; those we vote for are very seldom the ones making the decisions. That’s right, you read it correctly. The fact is that most decisions have already been made before they are up for public debate. Endless committees of servants, minions and cronies that have not been elected do most of the investigating, discussions and writings that becomes laws. These people that, by far, excide the quantity of politicians, are to a large extent companions, relatives, wives or old friends of the elite. Countless administrators, secretaries and other chimps who are appointed, not elected, sit on most of the actual power.
Still like the system? Okay, how about the fact that never in the history of democracy have a majority ever ruled. Don’t believe me? Check the numbers yourself, but just imagine which bunch of people that makes up the true majority. Do you think it is those who voted for the “winners”? Or do you think it is those that voted for the “looser” + the ones that did not vote + the ones that are not allowed to vote? Even if we disregard the ones that aren’t allowed to vote, the result is the same. If we ignore WW II; then, in Sweden, no government in the history of voting have ever had support of more than 30% of the population. You never get taught that in school. I wonder why…
So, what to do? While a peoples revolution and mass execution of most of the political elite would be satisfying to witness, it's not the civilized way of handling things, not even comes to racist or communist regimes. Unfortunately, the way people handle bad situations and bad governments is to grin and bear it. We have become so soft, bleed hearted and spoiled that hardly anyone even consider taking to arms and get rid of the burden. In addition, the slithering oily snakes in power have, of course, abolished the right to self-protection or, in many cases; they might have put an end to demonstration rights or even outlawed people from showing any kind of aggressive feelings towards the überclass – which is the main purpose of the Stockholm Programme.
I don’t believe in the voting process because even if we are lucky and get a good government for a while, it will not last. Some minor steps in the right direction are almost immediately countermanded by the next government. If one believes in this way of governing, then at least there should be full transparency, full disclosure and very easily interpretable laws so everything is in the open and everyone knows what is what. Have you ever wondered why this is not the case?
If you, however, believe as I do, that something more is needed; then some kind of revolution is the only way to go. And, just as important, after the revolution has been preformed, it is essential that the constitution, laws and the very fabric of society cannot be changed. The reason for this is to make sure that no smug well-spoken sales representative can come to power and dictate our lives again. There are several ways of going about this task, but this is necessary, otherwise those power hungry elitists will, sooner or later, again gain control over our lives.
With this as a prelude I want to tell a little story how democracy and the elitists system really work.

There are no rational thoughts whatsoever among the political elite and their main purpose of existing is not to help the poor or the elderly as they so often point out. Instead a government exists, thrives and expands on the basis of selfishness and in-law politics and around this revolves the main tasks that all politicians have; how to best trick us into voting for them.
In UK the number if well paid politicians with authoritarian position looking down at their constituencies is today 3 times the amount then during the time of the British Empire. In some magical way much fewer politicians and bureaucrats were needed to administrate several countries and a landmass and populace twenty times that of today’s Britain. Bear in mind that this was before Internet and instantaneous information flow, before such things as faxes or even workable phones. With today’s technology and looking at the size of things the amount of public official should be a 1/3 of back then, not 3 times as many. In Sweden we find similar numbers, although never an empire to compare with, there is still hard to see why a country of only 9 million really need over 20 000 (depending how you count it can be slightly less or much more) full time leaches with well over normal salaries to make up the government. Even IF we really need politicians deciding over things like deep sea fishing, construction in foreign countries, what statue we should have in a round-a-bout and similar tasks, why the hell does it take so many of them?
But the reality of government doesn’t stop with this pointlessness. The worst thing, in regard to expenditure, is that most political institutions have no incentive to save or take care of money diverted to them. Instead the opposite is true. In most countries a political institution gets a chunk of tax money that is supposed to last through a fiscal year. However, this amount need to be spent because if it’s not then clearly that particular institution do not need as much and consequently get less money the next fiscal year. Of course this means that almost all institutions will spend all the money, but it also means that most will actually spend even more money in a scheme to get more money next year. This is why pretty much every branch of the government keeps expanding, not only money wise, but also in amount of personnel and governing politicians.
But of course it doesn’t stop there either. The faceless oligarchy of thieves that make up our ruling elite is also supported by an underclass of useless drone’s i.e. public employees. These people are directly or indirectly aware that their current wellbeing is highly dependent on the good notion of the state and consequently will oppose most or all cuts in expenditures. Politicians are not stupid and acknowledge this fact and they in turn have no incentive to diminish this pile since public employees in very high numbers vote for, support and/or celebrate any political decision made to enhance or expand these particular areas.
The normal reaction from those that support this system is that we are living in a democracy and we have elected those in charge so if someone wants to change the system they need vote for change or move away. If we address the last bit first, why should anyone be forced to move in order to live a happier and have a free life? Is the majority really that omnipotent so the minority feeling or opinion should never be addressed? And on the issue of voting; is it a good thing that people can vote for racist, communist or fascist parties? And even if a single vote makes a difference in regards to who gets elected – which it doesn’t – and if a vote makes a difference in regards to decisions – which it very seldom does – and if we disregard the very immorality of voting, there is still one issue that all people should be aware of; those we vote for are very seldom the ones making the decisions. That’s right, you read it correctly. The fact is that most decisions have already been made before they are up for public debate. Endless committees of servants, minions and cronies that have not been elected do most of the investigating, discussions and writings that becomes laws. These people that, by far, excide the quantity of politicians, are to a large extent companions, relatives, wives or old friends of the elite. Countless administrators, secretaries and other chimps who are appointed, not elected, sit on most of the actual power.
Still like the system? Okay, how about the fact that never in the history of democracy have a majority ever ruled. Don’t believe me? Check the numbers yourself, but just imagine which bunch of people that makes up the true majority. Do you think it is those who voted for the “winners”? Or do you think it is those that voted for the “looser” + the ones that did not vote + the ones that are not allowed to vote? Even if we disregard the ones that aren’t allowed to vote, the result is the same. If we ignore WW II; then, in Sweden, no government in the history of voting have ever had support of more than 30% of the population. You never get taught that in school. I wonder why…
So, what to do? While a peoples revolution and mass execution of most of the political elite would be satisfying to witness, it's not the civilized way of handling things, not even comes to racist or communist regimes. Unfortunately, the way people handle bad situations and bad governments is to grin and bear it. We have become so soft, bleed hearted and spoiled that hardly anyone even consider taking to arms and get rid of the burden. In addition, the slithering oily snakes in power have, of course, abolished the right to self-protection or, in many cases; they might have put an end to demonstration rights or even outlawed people from showing any kind of aggressive feelings towards the überclass – which is the main purpose of the Stockholm Programme.
I don’t believe in the voting process because even if we are lucky and get a good government for a while, it will not last. Some minor steps in the right direction are almost immediately countermanded by the next government. If one believes in this way of governing, then at least there should be full transparency, full disclosure and very easily interpretable laws so everything is in the open and everyone knows what is what. Have you ever wondered why this is not the case?
If you, however, believe as I do, that something more is needed; then some kind of revolution is the only way to go. And, just as important, after the revolution has been preformed, it is essential that the constitution, laws and the very fabric of society cannot be changed. The reason for this is to make sure that no smug well-spoken sales representative can come to power and dictate our lives again. There are several ways of going about this task, but this is necessary, otherwise those power hungry elitists will, sooner or later, again gain control over our lives.
Higher prices EU-style
While we are reached by other fine examples of “green shoots” in the economy - with Nokia and SonyEricsson showing really bad results and the Russians announcing that their economy shrank 10.1 per cent in the first half of this year - the EU has tons of money to waste. There is no secret that the agricultural policies of the European Union are based on socialist planning policies. Maybe the most obvious sign of this lunacy is the yearly support of billions to the tobacco industry at the same time as hundreds of millions are funnelled to convince people to stop smoking. So what to do in an economic worldwide crisis? Of course the enemies of the people residing within luxurious walls have other fun things like the Stockholm programme that is created with the purpose of turning all of us into drones under constant surveillance. But keeping to the agricultural policies; the EU, in a mad scheme to keep prices up (for some strange reason it’s a good thing if consumers pay higher prices) the übermenchen have decided to buy butter and skimmed milk powder for the amount of £24 million. These products are not meant to be used, eaten, handed out to the poor or anything of that sort, no, they are supposed to be “saved”. The main reason behind this, however, is to keep prices on those products up. So in the mist of a economic crisis the EU will use very well paid bureaucrats in order to divert stolen tax money to make consumers, that has less and less money, pay higher prices. This is capital destruction on so many levels that the real costs far excides the payment of £24 million. The enemy class has never shined brighter.

The stupidity with GDP
Our enemies have now discovered that China is increasing its growth with gross domestic product expanding by 7.9 per cent. Several papers and news stations around the world is stating this today seemingly saluting Keynesian policies. This is, of course, like so many other things they will have us believe, pure madness. Every economist with the slightest brain capacity knows how to increase GDP with 10% or more, that is not a problem. All you need to do is to borrow a shitload of money, print even more money and then force banks to loan all that money to those who knows how to spend it on useless things; the public sector. Then you hire a huge amount of unemployed and have them shuffle dirt, build things no one wants, manufacture left shoes or some other pointless tasks. And presto, GDP is up.
So far this year, China have tripled the amount of new loans, hired lots of people to the public sector, spent an obscene amount of money and forced several publicly own companies to, among other things, increase the public building ratio i.e. forcing ‘em to build parks, attractions and so forth that no one is really using.
The only thing you might accomplish with this madness is to create an atmosphere of positivism which in turn can have a slightly positive impact on the economy, but then only temporary. And when we look at Chinese figures those show us that private companies lending are minimal, at best, and direct lending to small and medium-sized companies accounted for less than 5 per cent of the total. Also, in the beginning of June the Chinese government tried to sell government bonds, they failed to sell them all which means that not only is the market suspicious towards the Chinese trustworthiness, the market also predicts an increase in inflation since the money supply is growing so rapidly. And, in the end, should we really trust numbers coming from a central planning committee whose job it is to obey the communist leaders?
But even IF these numbers are correct - not just made up – there is still some things you need to bear in mind. Firstly the Chinese are the main reason why the dollar is still holding pretty strong since they are the main buyer of USD. China is also the largest creditor to the US and the main reason why the Obamination can borrow trillions in order to squander, spend and waste. So when the dollar really start to deteriorate and it becomes more evident that the US is defaulting on its enormous debt, this will have serious impact on the Chinese economy even withstanding the fact that the American market is the most important one for Chinese manufacturers. Also, a credit boom enhancing GDP is in no way a sure way of measuring real wealth since GDP does not take into account the difference between bad investment and good investment. As stated above, increasing GDP is very easy, to increase wealth however you need to produce real value, not empty office space, demolish and rebuild certain structures or make things that cannot sell for a price of higher than that of the cost. Lastly one needs to mention water that is in short supply in China, which can be a big problem. Also worth mentioning is that the recent riots we seen in the news are in no way isolated incidents, there is a huge potential for further, bigger and more violent uprising in the future. So far the Chinese government have managed to keep the richer urban populace fairly happy, if this were to change, it can even lead to civil war.
Even if I sound quite pessimistic, China is still, in several ways, better off than most western economies since the Chinese production capacity is pretty high and the production cost low which at least means that when (if) things turn around they will be much better equipped to adapt and produce. And they still have a big currency reserve and are not nearly as insolvent as the US or totally broke as UK.

The housing bubble
This could as easily be a post about several countries around the globe but this time - again sadly - it is about the real-estate and home prices in Sweden. Despite an increase in available objects on the market and despite a deep recession, prices are going up in Sweden (even if a small decrease could be shown in June). I was hoping people being highly stupid would be less in numbers, but apparently the Swedish Central Bank’s ploy with zero interest rates and the printing machine spitting out money out of thin air is “working” in the sense that people are still doing exactly what they should not do; namely buy things.
To borrow a quotation from another blogger that also uses his synapses;
If we look at the KPIF/KPIX indexes, it feels like a decent estimate that annual price inflation in Sweden is currently running at a level between 3-5%. Also remember that there is a significant “time-lag” between low interest rates and price inflation. And while I personally believe that some of the damage may be offset by the fact that the demand for cash may be temporarily higher and that banks are somewhat reluctant to make too much new loans (this is however a VERY DANGEROUS assumption, one which central banks uses in excess to justify their interest rate manipulation)
As I have said before, the real interest rates are significantly higher. Only for the reason of keeping inflation down the Central Banks interest rates should be around 4%. Add to this that Sweden really need higher levels of saving and that the commercial banks always keep a higher interest rate than that of the central bank, we are looking at an interest rate around 7-8%. And this is today. When this crisis rages on and the interest rates are kept artificially low the percentage increases for every month that passes. In the near future, with more and more people out of a job, more and more businesses crumbling and things getting worse (which they will) somewhere down the line the interest rates need to go up, way up, over 15% and with this comes foreclosures, defaulting, bankruptcies and lots of repossessions. The Swedish government has been doing pretty well, so far, withstanding the constant bombardment from amoebas wanting further stimuli and more bail-outs, but this is about to change. No politician wanting to be elected can endure tens of thousands of demonstrators and an ever increasing cry for help. So another thing coming down the line will be more monopoly money plus more borrowing and this with a deficit that already is reaching damaging heights. This combination together with the significance of world trade for the Swedish economy will plunge my birth nation into despair and darkness.
As previously stated, and this cannot be stressed enough, the cornflake economists and the central bank monkeys are destroying the Swedish economy so when the time comes and you find that perfect tree; please make sure that the rope is hardy enough to support the proper weight…

The Increase in Piracy
Piracy in the waters off the coast of Somalia– mainly in Gulf of Aden which connects the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean – set a record of 120 attacks in 2008. But a dramatic increase in activity by mainly Somali pirates has led to almost double the number of attacks during the year's first quarter compared with the same period in 2008, this according to a report issued by the International Chamber of Commerce's International Maritime Bureau (IMB). For your information; the Gulf of Aden is one of the world's busiest trade lanes, funnelling Saudi oil, Chinese computers and Japanese cars from Asia and the Middle East to the European Union. Because of its importance, and because of the closeness to very poor desperate people, the Gulf has become the main hunting ground for these modern-day buccaneers. As the number of attacks increases, and the pirates become bolder, hijacking larger and more valuable vessels, so have the rates of shipping insurance gone up. Insurance companies have increased fees for sending a cargo shipment through the Gulf of Aden to about 6,429 euros from 643 euros a year ago. Also several shipments need to pay tens of thousands of extra euros each day in "war zone" insurance to cross the Gulf.
This is great news from one perspective because even if the dry cargo index, and similar measurements of trade, has gone down significantly the recent year, we have seen a slight increase lately, but these pirates are doing their very best to keep data like that down. Also when this depression gain momentum and protectionism grows around the globe those pirate attacks will increase even further. And what will happen when all those tens of millions of people in Africa (and elsewhere) cross the line from absolute poverty to complete starvation? I’m predicting an upswing in piracy of unprecedented volumes the coming years and it will not restrict itself to this particular area, no, we will se pirate fleets emerging around the Indian, Indonesian and, very possibly, also in the south Atlantic waters. Just as the rapid decline of prostitution around the glob (a supposedly recession-proof industry) the number of pirates and pirate attacks can be regarded as a very good measurement of how bad things really are. Much better so than government cronies assuring us everything will be fine.
If one wants to halter the depression for a while longer in waiting for the dollar to collapse, this is not really good news, but I’m having a hard time condemning these people. Sure they kill and steal and for those crimes they should be keelhauled, but still I cannot help thinking that governments everywhere commits bigger and worse crimes every day and the collective minds of the enemy class is the main reason behind the very existence of these pirates. I’m not making any excuses for these criminals, but for those out there that only condemn them, please get back to me 2 years from now when you are out of a job, you’re in foreclosure, there are riots everywhere and you need to stand in line for half a day to get a loaf of bread.

Our enemies have meetings this week
Representatives of those ruling our lives; EU Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs will meet in Stockholm on July 15th until the 17th. They will chat a wee bit about the so-called “Stockholm Programme”, due to define the framework for EU police and customs cooperation, rescue services, criminal and civil law cooperation, asylum, migration and visa policy.In the end, the Programme will be adopted by the EU Heads of State and Government at the Summit in December 2009.
Of course it's important for those in charge to bring some order among their constituents. People are committing horrible crimes like bringing soap onboard airplanes and downloading porn. Citizens all over Europe, potential terrorists as they all are, need to be put through total surveillance, get monitored, watched and controlled because who knows what mischief they otherwise will come up with. The basis for this funny little scheme is the Lisbon Treaty that gives new “legal” powers to the European institutions over, among other things, cross-border police co-operation, counter-terrorism, immigration, asylum and border controls. The Stockholm Programme outlines how the justice commission will implement these new powers for the coming five years. The spokespersons for the enemy class claims the programme covers policy on ‘freedom, security and justice serving the citizen.’ This, however, means, in reality, that what they actually want to do is implement huge restrictions on citizen, impose almost total surveillance by the European state — and yes, this means your fingerprints, credit card charges, email traffic, debt, personal status, criminal history, health records and even political views are now going to be available from Dublin to Bucharest.
When our civil liberties are deteriorating at the speed they are right now, not only by the EU, but also by several (all) governments throughout, one should be very watchful. During normal circumstances this is highly dangerous fascist stuff we are talking about, during a financial crisis (soon to be depression) this is creating a situation that way oversees perils anyone has ever seen. This time it is not certain countries or certain rulers that are destroying the very foundation of democracy, it is all of them. One needs to be very naïve or highly stupid not seeing what this can and will be used for. Imagine a scenario where unemployment continues to increase, more economic bubbles bursts and people get more and more disillusional. In that situation; not only will we se riots and political turmoil, we will see governments (even the “good” ones) using this power to crack down on the slightest hit of “terrorism” or “rebellious forces” because this is what they do. A government has only one real power, the power of coercion and they will use it.
I dare to say, that never before in our modern history, even compared to the rise of fascism and communism 80 years ago, have we been in so much trouble as today. Ayn Rands prophetic books and George Orwell’s 1984 is not stories anymore, they are telling us what we are seeing now. Not only have the oppressional forces of governments created and worsen the financial crisis, they are also moving us towards a totalitarian surveillance society that would have been STASI’s wet dream.
Even if you do not buy my doomsday scenario; please come to grips with the laws and regulations the EU and your government is doing to you right now. This is not to protect you, it is to control you. This is not to catch terrorists; it is to have you everywhere in the system. And do you really think this is the last step? Have anything like this ever stopped with one law or one restriction? Technology develops, peoples habits change, a flaw in the law might be detected, maybe some real terrorist attacks will occur and all those things will further enhance, strengthen and increase the things they are doing to us now. I truly hope that my prediction in this case is wrong, but just in case they are not, you better prepare yourself, because this can turn very ugly very quickly.

Piggy Flu strikes again
Anyone else noticed that the fear mongering psychos we call “journalists” almost stopped writing and reporting about the Hog Flu for a while? In the beginning there was hardly anything, then some “alarming rapports” from Mexico about 120 or so dead, apparently all of them healthy people and that got things rolling. Everyday we could read about scared people – scared people tend to scare other people – the news was filled with pictures of “scientists” wearing science fiction outfits roaming around lifting plastic covers (oh no!? dead people!?) and every day the statistic kept ticking away showing us number of infected increasing for every minute. People cancelled vacations; every little sniffle became “Swine Flu!” at offices around the glob – sometimes as a joke, sometimes out of fear. Then suddenly it eased off, slowly, but surely, the newsworthiness with the story died out. Mainly because bloggers, some real scientist and the few journalists that actually do their job realized that this wasn’t so scary. The death rate for Swiney Flu worldwide is now down at 0,45% (0,1% in UK) which is less than normal flu, and the numbers keeps going down. And people started to understand the same. Even headless baboons with IQ equivalent to their number of toes (=public employees) got it; this is not really dangerous.
But now: It is back, with a vengeance! Swine Flu II – the sequel.
WHO kept upping their stupid level throughout, even when interest died somewhat, and then some child/s dies, and then some government want to force people to take vaccinations. And then comes the next alarming report that this is during summer, the flu season don’t start until the autumn!! Oh noooo… all of a sudden millions, tens of millions of people might get infected, already this year, and the headlines are back. Again the news are filled with pictures of people having flu that might be dying, one even died somewhere, and one over there and two over there, and our bellowed journalists are back on track! Films and pictures are cabled out showing a woman looking tired at a hospital, some athletes get the disease and are interviewed, and, of course, the white masks and the - supposedly - “scientists” in their outfits are back on the front page.
Cry wolf? Anyone?
According to some numbers I stole from another blogger (have not confirmed if they authentic) the number of deaths from flu this year is actually pretty low. We have not even climbed over 100 000 dead so far with more then half the year gone. The total number of dead from flu each year worldwide varies between 400 000-700 000. So far the Pink fluffy flu – That, according to journalists; is the deadliest of all flues – has, by WHO (6 July 2009 09:00 GMT) statistics “massacred” a whopping 429 people out of 94512 infected, scary hu? And this is during around 4 months. That this year is a mild flu year is confirmed by the American Centres for Disease Control (CDC) that recently published surveillance data that reveals that this year the total influenza cases have been below seasonal baseline. In contrast to all of the flu panic, this year has been a mild year for influenzas of all types. You never heard that on the news, I wonder why…
Some people claim that even if this flu is not that dangerous now; this virus can mutate. No way? Really? That has never happen before... Of course it is going to mutate, we already know it will, it has done so before. Maybe the next strain will kill billions or no one at all, this we don’t know. But this Boar Flu that we are dealing with now is not even remotely dangerous. You stand a bigger risk of getting killed every time you sit in a car and every day you spend within the confines of your home is far more likely to lead to your demise than any flu. Journalists writing crap and scaring people about this without checking the facts should be ashamed. Instead journalists should learn basic math and check out the economy, now that is something to we should be afraid for.
I will not let any butchers put a vaccination shot in my body, but the swine flu, that’s fine. A harmless flu my body can tackle and handle - my immune system could use the workout. Some vaccination that might help today but not tomorrow is pretty useless.
The Pork Chop Flu, however, is very hilarious stuff. Seldom have my point about people being useless morons been more accurately proven. People in general are so dumb, so stupid, and so moronic and this is what really scares me. Watch out people, the depression is coming, take a bacon and ham sandwich and be afraid of our future instead.
But now: It is back, with a vengeance! Swine Flu II – the sequel.
WHO kept upping their stupid level throughout, even when interest died somewhat, and then some child/s dies, and then some government want to force people to take vaccinations. And then comes the next alarming report that this is during summer, the flu season don’t start until the autumn!! Oh noooo… all of a sudden millions, tens of millions of people might get infected, already this year, and the headlines are back. Again the news are filled with pictures of people having flu that might be dying, one even died somewhere, and one over there and two over there, and our bellowed journalists are back on track! Films and pictures are cabled out showing a woman looking tired at a hospital, some athletes get the disease and are interviewed, and, of course, the white masks and the - supposedly - “scientists” in their outfits are back on the front page.
Cry wolf? Anyone?
According to some numbers I stole from another blogger (have not confirmed if they authentic) the number of deaths from flu this year is actually pretty low. We have not even climbed over 100 000 dead so far with more then half the year gone. The total number of dead from flu each year worldwide varies between 400 000-700 000. So far the Pink fluffy flu – That, according to journalists; is the deadliest of all flues – has, by WHO (6 July 2009 09:00 GMT) statistics “massacred” a whopping 429 people out of 94512 infected, scary hu? And this is during around 4 months. That this year is a mild flu year is confirmed by the American Centres for Disease Control (CDC) that recently published surveillance data that reveals that this year the total influenza cases have been below seasonal baseline. In contrast to all of the flu panic, this year has been a mild year for influenzas of all types. You never heard that on the news, I wonder why…
Some people claim that even if this flu is not that dangerous now; this virus can mutate. No way? Really? That has never happen before... Of course it is going to mutate, we already know it will, it has done so before. Maybe the next strain will kill billions or no one at all, this we don’t know. But this Boar Flu that we are dealing with now is not even remotely dangerous. You stand a bigger risk of getting killed every time you sit in a car and every day you spend within the confines of your home is far more likely to lead to your demise than any flu. Journalists writing crap and scaring people about this without checking the facts should be ashamed. Instead journalists should learn basic math and check out the economy, now that is something to we should be afraid for.

Bloodstained politics
In Mexico the death toll keeps raising from the drug war and that blood is not only on the hands of the direct murderers, the real culprit is, of course, the government that is responsible for the raging war and people dying because of the law. If they were to legalize drugs, nothing of this would happen. As usual governments do the complete opposite of what they ought to be doing.
The future of movies
What the executives of a decaying Hollywood want to stop is not only the free information flow or people actually judging them online, no; they also want to stop the next step in the entertainment industry. There are already people writing books online, some even inviting others to take part in the writing. I have also noticed that the development of software with open codes is still growing, despite different governments best efforts. Thanks to another blogger (countingcats) I stubble upon this little masterpiece: IRON SKY.
This is, in my mind, the future of the movie business, or maybe even the future of all culture. I have been thinking about writing a book and have come very far with the planning and even written a couple of chapters, but I think that instead of going to a publisher I will follow these examples and post it online. Watch out for that in the near future, I promise good reading.

You are going to die! Part XXVII
Drowning is a fun way of going out, don’t you think? Just gobbling on some water, stretch out your hand (preferably above the surface) in a “desperate” gesture and sink towards the bottom. And just like that boy wonder in the Titanic movie you might have the luck of saying goodbye to some sexy beauty before you get eaten by fish. I have also heard that drowning is supposed to be an “easy” way of dying, not so painful, just some panic for a minute or so, depending on your lung capacity. Not really sure how people know this, but I find it kind of comforting.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2005, the United States experienced an average of ten drowning deaths per day (3,582) with an additional 710 people dying from drowning and other causes in boating-related accidents. In Sweden, according to the Swedish life saving society, between 100-135 people drown each year and most of those are men and for some reason half of those males dies with the zipper in their pants wide open. Go figure. The statistic shows about the same ratio of drowning deaths each year and the percentage is about the same in most countries. I have mentioned water before as a main killer of humans and water is also one main feature in our houses (the worst place that exist!) which leads to electrocutions, slipping in the shower and other hilarious events. But drowning deserves its own posting, not only because it kills tens of thousands of people each year (much worse then 25 outbreaks of the Piggy Flu!), but also because drowning is neglected area that is not very restricted. In a world were politicians all need to show how much they care about their constituency, it is kind of strange that no one has picked up this as a general phenomenon. Sure some politicians want us to learn how to swim and consequently steal our money to pay some teacher that can learn us this arduous skill, and sure some politicians might appear in the news after some boat has sunk to tell us how sorry he/she is and that the government will do everything in its power (including stealing more money) to get to the bottom of that disaster, but drowning in general is an overlooked issue. Why isn’t there taxation on bathing for instance? How come there is no law against lazing around in the bathtub? Shouldn’t there be a law forbidding us getting to close to water? And where are the anti-water organizations? I want demonstrations against this dreaded fiend God damn it!
Also, it has to be mentioned, some assassins use water as a way of covering up their crimes. Did Mrs Marshal, your neighbour, really drown by herself or was it her daughter going after that elusive inheritance? The old hag refused to die for so long, why should she suddenly croc in the bathtub? These sorts of questions should be asked and please do me a favour, the next time you go near water or drink a glass, please reconsider, it might just be what it wants!
In Sweden, a country that rarely experience any kind of disasters (there is no volcanoes, hurricanes or earthquakes destroying Swedish cities), there is today flooding going on in some parts. Journalists, hardly having anything to write during the summer and sensationalists as they all are, smell headlines and presto those “flood-waves” are threatening some crops. Oh, no… They might burst thru a dam! Oh Jesus! And so it goes on. The rain seems to keep falling, water keep threatening cities, umbrellas are selling out and some poor people have water in their living room. How will my birth nation ever recuperate from this massive disaster? I’m just waiting for some tree hugger claiming this is the effects of man-made global warming and I would be very surprised if the news is free from “scientists” claiming polar bears are going extinct and that this is Sweden’s fault. Humans are so funny.

A look at Libertarianism
Some libertarian bloggers in the UK is writing about and trying to explain libertarianism so I thought I should give my opinion on this subject. As a Swedish refugee in an country (UK) that is going fast downhill with NeuArbeit at the helm I can, in a way, give a perspective as an outsider regardless of being, for the most part, a convinced libertarian. I am, however, no spokesperson for this ideology and as usual I have no intention of convincing anyone about anything. I just see the truth about things and the truth is that there is only one way of really having a free and fair civilization built on justice and that is through the notion of “free from” others.
I started out as a conservative and to a certain extent I still am. I still think that monarchy has its positive attributes; I still think that school uniform is a great idea; I still believe that acknowledging our history and culture together with an in-house spoken language is great building blocks for a society. To some extent I also agree with the conservative (religious) opinion about abortion and general conduct. But – and this to me is the very essence of libertarianism – I would never ever impose my opinions on others. I would never use the law to force people to wear school uniforms. I would never use armed police to steal people’s money to pay for monarchy. These “conservative” opinions are mine, not yours, not everyone’s, just mine. I have no right whatsoever to use the government or the cohesive power of the law to make anyone do anything against their will. This is what libertarianism is to me; free will and the right to choice. No one, no matter how many or how good their arguments are, have the right to force anyone else to do something against their will. In a libertarian society you are your own king, you decide over your life. If you want to believe in Santa, start a rock band or have matching socks it does not matter, your choice. If you are a communist and want to live in a small commune with others like you and live within the confines of the pink shimmering happiness of socialism, go ahead, just don’t force anyone to obey your or your friend’s opinions.
I could also go on about how economy and production increases with a free society, since I’m an economist that would be a good way to go, but that is actually beside the point. The point is that libertarianism means that people are “equal” in the sense that they all have the same rights and that they all are free from others. Libertarianism also means that the law is limited hence easy to understand so the general public actually knows the Do and Don’ts. But perhaps the main point, and the most frightening for those in power, is that libertarianism also means that you are free from the state. A government consists of people, they have no rights that excide those of others in the country and consequently have no right to use force to impose their views. This is why the libertarian movement is so detested by virtually everyone; if they can’t use the mighty armed forces of the government to rule, how can they rule? For those that is reading this and do not have the libertarian persuasion, think really hard about what ideology that is most hated of them all - it is not socialism or fascism - it is libertarianism because this idea challenges the very notion of a ruler.
Some believe (mainly “conservatives” and “liberals”) that what I just said means that libertarianism is same as anarchy, it does not. A libertarian society still have laws, still has a government, still have armed forces, but those are very restricted and have only one basic chore; to protect the individual right to choice. Because even if you have the right to make your own choices, so does everyone else. You have an absolute right to do anything you want until you run into someone with the same absolute right. This means you can never use force, never intimidate or bully another human into accepting your merchandise or your political standpoint. If you do, you are committing a crime and this is when the government steps in. The government’s only legitimate reason to exist is to protect the basic human right of making own decisions.
Another popular attitude towards the basic idea of libertarianism is the socialist standpoint of “We live together and we are a flock animal” – meaning that we need to help out, support our fellow man, assist the needy. Firstly there is nothing in libertarianism that contradicts this, if people want to help each other, go ahead, that’s your choice. If you want to give away all your money to charity, do it, nothing is stopping you. However, this most be each and everyone’s free choice. If you, however, use the almighty state to force people to “help” it is not true philanthropy, it is not solidarity, it is only people under duress getting forced to “help”. When the socialist say “we need to show solidarity” what he/she really means is “We need to force people to help other people” never telling you who is who. One always need to ask the question “why?”. Why should we help only this group? Why do my neighbour need government support but not I? And who is really “poor”? Who is rich? What do people really need? What can people actually do? These questions needs to be answered for socialism to have the slightest chance of working, but they can’t be answered which is one reason why socialism never have and never will work. Libertarianism, however, does nothing of the sort, this ideology do not judge people. You can be white, black, old, young, male, female, “rich” or “poor”, it has no relevance. The only thing that matters in the basic concept; the idea of making your own choices. In this sense libertarianism is also the only none-judgemental and only none-racist ideology that exists. All other political views take a stand for environmentalist groups, bankers, the workers, the industry, farmers, white people, black people or anything else that might suit a particular view in order to win votes.
The last thing I want to comment on, and the main reason why libertarianism do not attract the large masses, is the consequence of making your own choice. Because this also means you are liable for what happens. There is no scapegoat. You cannot blame the Jews, the rich, the society or your neighbour for your failures; the failures are yours and nobody else’s. You are your own king, but you are also your own biggest adversary. And since we all know we all make bad decisions, this is a big stone to carry. If your business goes down, you were not good enough, simple as that. Most people don’t like this, they do not want to blame themselves; they want to blame someone else. Also people like to have someone else to make decision for them, people think it is easier or that those elected might know better. So called “experts” thrives everywhere around us telling us everything from what to eat to what to think. The hardest obstacle for libertarians is - according to me - how to teach people to think, act and do things by, for and off themselves. I also would argue that this is the main reason why so many believe in stateism and/or socialism, because spokespersons of the lefties promise everything and say they will make things “easier”. Why choice a phone company when a politician can do it for you? Why choice where to live when governments obviously knows best? People have been fooled to believe that the smuggest best-spoken voice trying to get their vote is the best one to make choices for them. We do not go to the most articulate doctor when our leg is broken, we do not go to the best speaking dentist to fix our teethes, but somehow we think that a well dressed person with a name on a ballot that can talk bureaucratic can fix our lives.
The economic argument is completely on libertarians side, so is the moral one, but until this ideology can convince people that making their own choices is not only the most beneficial for themselves, but also for society as a whole, and as long as people think they can get something for free without paying for it several times over, the libertarian movement will never triumph. This struggle is hard and is made even harder by journalists, “thinkers” and indoctrinating schools. I don’t think we will ever see a truly free society, people are too stupid or to occupied with their useless lives to even consider it, but maybe there is a chance in the aftermath of the current depression. Maybe more people will see through the smoke and realize that bail-out money, stimulus money and every government program for the people is all paid for by the people. Maybe citizens will realize that every time a politician promises them something, the people themselves are the ones paying for it. I hope so, I don’t think so, but I hope.

Shoe fetish
Apparently a 27y old man in Germany have been attacking women and stealing their shoes. He had a shoe fetish. It is very hard to just buy shoes or sneak around and doing the thief thing so I sort of get this guy, but he is getting what he deserves now; resting inside a nice facility. Meanwhile the armed robbers of the government keep stealing our stuff and getting away with it. Why isn’t anyone complaining over those muggers? Females attacked and loosing their footwear should complain, of course, but why don’t they complain over politicians stealing all their money so they cannot buy all the shoes they deserve?
Some real ”green shoots”
Despite that the recession getting worse there is still those that claim they see ”green shoots” in the economy. These are the same people that saw nothing wrong at all with the economy 1,5 years ago when people that actually have a brain warned for the looming depression. There are some signs that the enemies of the people acknowledge this since, among others, the Obamination and some of his cronies have stated that the crisis is far from over and that “it will take time to recover”. Those statements are very few and still far from the truth so there is no hope of that the power elite will do what is right, but there are some real green shoots here and there in the world and in a state of positivism this morning I thought I should address some of those.
Honduras has shown some cojones lately, got rid of a dictator wannabe; they have so far refused to bow down to fascist clowns and have been one of very few voices of reasons in a mad world. If they keep this up they will soon lift themselves from poverty and I still feel an urge to move there.
India and China keeps hording gold and have, together with some other Asian economies, the production capacity to lift themselves and the world out of the depression in the future (about 10-15 years from now IF we are still alive). India has also killed off some Maoist guerrillas which need to be saluted. Even if these countries and many others also show signs of oppression and in Chinas case pure dictatorship, there is at least some shoots of hope.
Ayn Rand’s books are selling like never before and the number of people actually using their intellect is growing rapidly. There are also signs of rebellions here and there and the anti-government forces are gaining ground.
Some economists are also showing indication of thinking. Czech and German ones have questioned the reasoning behind stimulus packages and a couple of more have joined the ideas of Peter Schiff and Marc Faber in the US. These people are still mainly ignored by the mainstream media and the power elite, but hopefully those voices can be heard more and more so when we are going to rebuild the world again maybe we can get some liberties back.
These “green shoots” are not enough though. Not only are we heading for a huge plummeting leap over the cliff into the depressional and tyrannical abyss, we are also attaching ourselves with countless weights to make the climb up again that much harder, and so here is my wish list for the coming couple of years:
• A huge political scandal for the Obamination
Some of you might think I want to kill the bastard, and it is true, this fascist should be put in the ground (like so many other politicians), but that would also make him a martyr. The best thing would consequently be that it is made known that he has been doing altar boys together with some catholic priests and that dead singer or something of that nature.
• A couple of countries experience a big and real upraising.
There are some that already are trying, but we really need some people dancing on graves belonging to former state officials. We need some good examples of freedom in the world again.
• That the mainstream media and journalist actually do their jobs
I think it is probably too much to ask from lazy journalists that mainly sit in the lap of the enemy class, but some slim hope exists that at least some of them might wake up and smells the manure. I hope they start to write what is happening in Africa and really start reading about and tries to understand basic math so they can see what is going on with the economy. This will probably never happen, but maybe...
• Some poor countries say fuck you to IMF and the western world
We in the rich and more “enlighten” world is screwing up big time and is not the example to follow. I’m consequently hoping that some African and/or Asian countries ignore the propaganda and go their own way and even maybe start thinking and producing under the flag of freedom.
• An general increase in brain capacity
This is very unlikely, but there is very slim hope that this crisis might actually wake some people up and that the true champions of justice and peace will gain in numbers. The resent rise of Pirate Parties in Europe is one small step, that libertarian organisations seems to gain members is another. We are still far off from having a true awakening but one can always hope.
Honduras has shown some cojones lately, got rid of a dictator wannabe; they have so far refused to bow down to fascist clowns and have been one of very few voices of reasons in a mad world. If they keep this up they will soon lift themselves from poverty and I still feel an urge to move there.

These “green shoots” are not enough though. Not only are we heading for a huge plummeting leap over the cliff into the depressional and tyrannical abyss, we are also attaching ourselves with countless weights to make the climb up again that much harder, and so here is my wish list for the coming couple of years:
• A huge political scandal for the Obamination
Some of you might think I want to kill the bastard, and it is true, this fascist should be put in the ground (like so many other politicians), but that would also make him a martyr. The best thing would consequently be that it is made known that he has been doing altar boys together with some catholic priests and that dead singer or something of that nature.
• A couple of countries experience a big and real upraising.
There are some that already are trying, but we really need some people dancing on graves belonging to former state officials. We need some good examples of freedom in the world again.
• That the mainstream media and journalist actually do their jobs
I think it is probably too much to ask from lazy journalists that mainly sit in the lap of the enemy class, but some slim hope exists that at least some of them might wake up and smells the manure. I hope they start to write what is happening in Africa and really start reading about and tries to understand basic math so they can see what is going on with the economy. This will probably never happen, but maybe...
• Some poor countries say fuck you to IMF and the western world
We in the rich and more “enlighten” world is screwing up big time and is not the example to follow. I’m consequently hoping that some African and/or Asian countries ignore the propaganda and go their own way and even maybe start thinking and producing under the flag of freedom.
• An general increase in brain capacity
This is very unlikely, but there is very slim hope that this crisis might actually wake some people up and that the true champions of justice and peace will gain in numbers. The resent rise of Pirate Parties in Europe is one small step, that libertarian organisations seems to gain members is another. We are still far off from having a true awakening but one can always hope.
Why freedom is loosing
All over the world people keep protesting, every summit meeting seams to come with clashes with police and “street-parties” always seem to end in bloody battles and burning cars. The silent majority, however, is sitting at home swearing and cursing these hooligans wanting the police to use even more force. But when demonstrations and rallies go on in some distant land with a more openly oppressive regime people seem more willing to support the protesters. Maybe some abiding – and normally quiet – citizens even will write a letter to the local newspaper voicing their anger over how seemingly peaceful protesters are being shot. And this is our problem in a nut shell. I believe this apathy from “normal” people is one of the main reasons why our civil- and political liberties are deteriorating more and more. It is not wrong confronting the police, it is not wrong destroying building or setting things on fire, it is not wrong doing the dance of revolution. What’s wrong is that those normally doing those sorts of things are the ones that actually shouldn’t complain and the people that have things to rally against do nothing. The rioters are normally left wing extremists complaining about left wing policies. In a world were collectivism is king and stateism is regarded as a virtue it is hard to see how lefties can complain. Sure, okay, we do not have pink fluffy communism so those protesters probably want to force society closer to happier places like North Korea or bring back joyful paradises like the Soviet Union or Pol Pots Cambodia, but with massive taxation, regulations from our birth to the grave and not even having our bedrooms left alone, there is hard to see any reason for the left to complain.
The other group that keep ending up in the news as representatives for the “right” is neo-Nazis and fascists that also have a recurring notion about violence. Often enough these boneheads are regarded as scapegoats by their kinsmen – the lefties – that, in turn, claims that some violence is necessary to stop the “far right”. Both groups, however, believe in huge governments and total control of citizens. The only real difference is that the “far right” is more open about their true agenda.
In the meanwhile almost every government on the planet is now doing the entire job for these groups’ taking us one blissful step at the time towards totalitarianism: Big companies cannot fail – lets save them with enormous loans and lets print some money! Banks cannot falter – lets save those with government checks and some more newly printed money! And internet is bad, people are talking about the truth and sending news faster than the old controlled media, we cannot have that, let’s impose restrictions! And people might find child-pornography online, horrid thought; let’s ban sites all over the world! In the meanwhile we can let the old media keeping focus on some dead singer, a harmless flu, some scary animals, some singing babies and a man that pretends to be gay. And for God’s sake, always make the media say/write that the crisis is halting; we are seeing “green shoots”! During all this we can artificially keep interest rates down and keep pumping those funny notes into the economy that people use as “money” for some reason. Doing this creates more bubbles and those are always fun. Finally we need to restrict and impose hundreds of more laws on the already overcontrolled financial sector. We are using the financial sector and some rich people as scapegoats… shoosh don’t tell anyone…
And you, the people, buy this crap, as you always do. Our freedoms hardly exist at all anymore and totalitarianism is creeping closer for every day that passes and to be honest, it is the peoples own damn fault. If you idiots don’t realize what is going on and do a real rebellion aimed at those really responsible for our predicament, the totalitarians will soon have won and this time it is hard to see any way of turning back. We are so deeply in shit and hardly anyone smells it. If you are one of those that actually have a sense of smell, get a gun, you are going to need it sooner or later.

£100 offered
Professor Bob Carter torpedoes the “scientific consensus” on the climate HOAX
I earlier offered £50 to anyone that can offer me proof of man-made global warming. Let's up the offer again shall we? I now offer you £100. I will stay there but I could as easily go up to millions, it would not matter. This is a hoax, a scam, trickery, don't let them fool you.

The inflation money finally has arrived
When I moved to UK about 6months ago I thought it was sort of a gamble since the pay was very low but I immediately realized that things was much cheaper here than in Sweden. I could buy a six-pack of beer at the nearest store for about 2/3 of the price in Sweden and vodka was less costly here than in Estonia (where I also have lived) But something has happen. Beer is now selling for around £5-6 which is about the same price as in Sweden. Cigarettes are even more expensive than in Sweden and when going to the store today I noticed an increased in prices on crisps (chips) with 100% since a week ago! And the milk I usually buy for £1,10 but today the price was £1,58 (also higher price than Sweden). One cannot take one store as an example, but I also took a walk around town and looked at suits. The suit I had planned to buy earlier cost £98, today the price was £125 – still kind of cheap, but a very large prince increase. I also looked at shirts, same thing; a significant price increase. I also stopped by a gaming store checking princes on Nintendo’s, also the same thing, a significant increase. Now maybe this place where I live isn’t the best indicator for UK and NueArbeit have heighten some taxes so one needs to check the numbers and make a none government approach to those before making any conclusions, but for me the facts are clear, prices are going way up and it is time to look for a move again.
The Obamination spreading evil
After attending a G8 meeting trying to worsen the economic crisis and again throwing some threats towards Iran, the Obamination continued on to Ghana where his holier than thou attitude made quite a success. Of course journalists all over are bowing down and failing to mention how the crisis goes on now fueled by this madman’s scheme to ruin the world. No doubt some of the inflation money coming from IMF will go to Ghana and seemingly, listening to the Obamination, a lot of American tax money (also inflated) will go the same way. So Ghana will be closer linked to the US dollar which will make that “democratic” country so happy when the mentioned currency collapses. On the world economy, Obama said that rising food prices mean millions more are falling into desperate poverty – again conviently failing to bring up (just as brain-dead journalists “forgot” the same) that those food prices going up is his fault. As I have mentioned before the “dark continent” is facing a very dire future with tens of millions standing on the brink of starvation. This is, of course, no concern to the Obamination that soon will go home to US and conjure up another crazy stimulation package to make sure those tens of millions along with so many others really suffers the coming years. All along journalist everywhere continue to write flattering and praising articles about this “messiah”. The enemy class has never shined brighter…

Warming bamboozle
The hope (of some maniacs) is that the leaders of the world's richest nations meeting at this week's G8 summit in Italy were to agree to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2050 with rich nations reducing them by 80%, but those attending this mafia meeting seem to have a hard time uniting about how and how much to cut the usage. The goal of cutting down 50% seems far from happening at the moment. Of course the slick oily representatives of our oppressors shouldn’t talk about this non issue at all. There is no reason whatsoever lowering our fuel usage – there is still not one single shred of evidence saying that there even is such a thing as man-made global warming, not one single thing. You never hear that do you? But it is true. They might show you some ice sheath melting and falling down in the ocean which is as normal as the sun shining and has nothing to do with anything they are saying. They might claim that Polar Bears are going extinct, which first of all isn’t true, in fact seen over the last 25 years, the number is growing, but even if, animals go extinct all the time, nothing strange about it. They might say that temperature is rising, well wipedidoda; the temperature of our planet goes up or down all the time. The science, however, says that the sun is the main culprit but it seems like no one is blaming that yellow thing. The science also says comets crashing into earth or giant volcanoes can effect the environment. There is, however, not one single thing that supports the notion of man-made global warming. And I dare anyone to find it, it does not exist. I earlier challenged people to give me a scientific evidence for this madness; no one did, even when I offered a reward of £10, so let’s up the stakes shall we. If any of you morons out there can post a scientific proof of man-made global warming I give you £50, promise.
In the meanwhile you can all think about what those cuts mean to the poor and under-develop countries of the world. We should, of course, start using more energy and burn lots of more fuel, not less. We should turn on the lights, increase industry usage and start producing a lot more, not less. The only thing the scam about man-made global warming does is to make us poorer and governments bigger. It is a swindle of humongous proportions only rivalled by religion. Only someone highly stupid can buy into this total lunacy, which, of course, is proof that my notion about people in general being total idiots is true.
