Economy 101

Evidence will show, as it always does, that our economy is based on a few very simple rules. Like the fact that $1=$1, or that any sort of economy need to follow the law of physics in that you cannot conjure up something out of thin air.

Both of these absolute truths and unquestionable facts (and many more) are continuously ignored by virtually every government and every central bank on the planet. According to our masters of despair we can borrow and spend and presto; $1=$2. And money spitted out from a computer with a few keystrokes automatically leads to prosperity and blissful existence for all puppies.

This was what we were told when our masters went forth on their epic adventure of Quantitative Easing (QE).

Greatness was, again, just within our grasp, all we needed to do was to borrow trillions, print another bunch of trillions and spend it on banks and financial institute. Apparently the world is doomed without smug suits lending money to unemployed chimps, and if trading hipsters and cocaine snorting tricksters don’t get their injection of free stuff from central banks there will be marshal law and chiiiiildreeeen everywhere will die horribly.

A crisis that originated from overspending and overzealous printing of money, and a crisis increased by a system with too many rules and regulations – such a crisis, they said, will be fixed by borrowing, printing and spending going for the moon. Also such a crisis obviously will be reduced by imposing even more regulations. Obviously…

This our masters argued and oh so many amebas listened. There were even plenty of single-celled organisms incapable of generating electric pulses between synapses who argued that the level of idiocy presented to us wasn’t enough. They wanted more. For some reason another trillion borrowed and more trillions printed and given to banks would have been much better. According to such individuals $1=$25 and, of course, every time a spoon dances to a musical of Andrew Lloyd Webber daisies pops up on every parking-lot across the universe.

I know most of you out there still believe in fairytales, which is very sad and kind of cute at the same time, but what about reality? Shouldn’t you at least acknowledge its existence?

In all likelihood it is the intricate wording together with those graphs and statistics that you find both boring and very confusing. Boring it may be, but confusing it’s not. They do try their very best to make ‘inflation reduction’ and ‘annual percentage rate’ sound like the mumblings of a drowning crack-addict, but it’s not that hard to see through the scam.

Every time they say ‘Consumer price index’ it’s not about prices, it’s about you being screwed. And what goes in your reality, close to you, according to your valet, also goes waaaay up there among the righteous elitists. They just want you to think there’s another set of rules when it comes to government and financial markets.

There is only one difference between your valet and that of government – you.

A government can borrow above its income; it can pile up debts even when it’s not solvent because of a simple and diabolical plot that dwarfs that of any cartoon villain.

A government can not only put you in as collateral, it can also bet your children and your grandchildren. You are the pillar that pays for all the excess spending; you are the one who produce the wealth squandered by countless bureaucrats, but there’s only so much you can do, only to a point can you produce, and that’s not enough - so in steps government to mortgage the future.

The main driver behind today’s catastrophe is the U.S. Federal Reserve. This unconstitutional institution that came to be through a coup-like trickery almost a hundred years ago is out in force again. The FED is ready to pump another $600bn into the economy over the next eight months in a bid to resuscitate America's flagging recovery.

Remember what I said above? 1$=$1 and you cannot conjure up something out of thin air.

The FED summons up this $600bn from pressing a few buttons on their computer. It’s not backed by production, it doesn’t have gold, silver or even cars as underlying fundament to keep some value attached to it. No, its monopoly money conjured up from nothing, backed by nothing.

What is probably confusing to you here is that if all else stays equal it doesn’t really matter what the notes say or how many of them they print. If the money gets equally distributed throughout the economy nothing would change. They could print $9856844 trillion or withdraw almost all dollars in circulation and nothing would change. It doesn’t matter whether a cookie costs $1 or $100, as long as all else stay the same. Today’s fiat currencies are just numbers, fictive and arbitrary numbers, and so if equally distributed to all at the same time, nothing changes.

Do you understand this? If you do, you should also wonder why central banks and governments embark on such a fantastic tale of quantitative easing.

There are two main reasons for it, each more sinister than other.

First, and most important for the elitist sphere, the money printed does NOT get equally distributed. Before anything else it goes to banks and financial institutes, and some of it trickles over to government.

Why is this important?

Because the ones who get the money first will hurt the least and can use the cash to shop, invest or spend with very little effect on prices. Just imagine you’d got $100bn (FOR FREE!) and can buy other corporations, invest in stocks or buy treasuries for that money before anyone else gets their hands on it. It’s like being handed the key to the chocolate factory!

In the next step, when someone else uses the money, prices have gone slightly up (have you watched the stock index lately?), and they use it, still beneficiary though. Then the money goes over to a third part, a fourth and so on. When the freshly printed money reaches the little guy, ordinary folks, and hardworking citizen’s prices on this and that have increased and the money has lost in value since there’s more of it in circulation.

Or, to put it in the simplest of terms; QE is a way to make the rich richer and the poor poorer!

Best of all; very few of you sheople out there understand it!

It’s an elitist wet dream! And you suckers fall for it every time.

The second reason they print money out of thin air backed by nothing is to inflate certain areas of the economy. As mentioned above certain fields and institution gets the money first and if you can, somehow, predict where they put the money, where they invest it or save it – well then you can also predict what area of the economy that will be “in a recovery”…

Today they point to the stock market going up, they say that investments are picking up speed again; they say that banks are solvent again. Never mind the printing press behind the curtain!

In this way they can trick you, pundits, so called economists, politicians and even themselves into a phony frenzy where bundles of spanking new dollars/pounds/kronas/yen is driving the economy forward.

It’s an illusionary trick worthy of any magician and almost everyone falls for it every time, despite the trick being done in the open without hiding anything from you.

IF they can do this at a certain level they can increase GDP, conjure up fake economic numbers and paint over many problems, BUT – only temporarily.

If the real financial fundaments and actual production doesn’t pick up speed during this magical act, then the economy is actually in worse shape than before. There’s a window of “hope” for those in charge; a year, two years, maybe three years depending on the country, during which new inventions, better production or an increase in foreign investments can push their QE-madness aside and lead to actual recovery.

No-one know exactly what level of QE is the correct one to reach the desired effect, but the worst problem with this tactic is that it seems sooo gooood. Almost every ruler, every pharaoh, king or government that has ever existed have tricked themselves, and their people, into this spiral of printing-borrowing-higher prices. Because it’s illusional, it seems people are getting more money; it seems that prices are going up because of want and demand, and the big time investors, banksters and the very rich are very happy consequently are able to lend the Pharaoh, king or government money for wars or any other fun activity.

So they won’t do it one time as an extraordinary measure, instead it becomes the remedy for all times and for all sorts of problems. It’s so easy. Press a few buttons and whoosh, instant prosperity.

But $1=$1, and you cannot conjure up something out of thin air.

So in steps inflation!

Not higher prices, which they want you to think is inflation. No, real and actual inflation i.e. money losing in value.

Ever wondered why your grandparents could buy a new car for $100 and a house for $3000? This is why. Inflation happened over the years.

If all else stayed equal, as mentioned before, it wouldn’t matter, but taxation is often based on prices and level of salaries which doesn’t take into account inflation. So the transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, which is what QE does, isn’t enough, that extra printed money also comes with extra taxation and, as a funny consequence, higher prices, which also leads to extra taxation.

Ever wondered why your grandparents could buy a house, own two cars and live quite comfortably on ONE salary without indebting themselves into oblivion?

We should be much richer today; we should be able to live on a tenth of a salary of our grandparents. We can’t. Inflation happened. Your government and the rich stole your income and mortgaged you, your children and your grandchildren. And you let it happen.

As an additional bonus we get boom and bust circles as government and central banks in a never ending scam continues to print, borrow, and spend. Each time they inflate the bubbles they tear into the basic fabric of our production and producing capacity, and each time making things worse.

I am not, again, going to show you graphs, point to facts or argue the case of reality. What you only need to know is that somewhere down the line, in all likelihood very soon, the scams perpetrated by elitists across the globe will collapse. This time the level of the scams, the height of the trickery is unprecedented. Never before in history has so much debt, so many scams, and so many problems been swept under the carpet.

It can be an agonizing long horrible ride, like that of the Japanese example over the latest 20years, but in all likelihood it will go very quickly. And the magnitude of this crash, the mother of all crashes, will overshadow anything you can possibly imagine. Think the “Great Depression” times twenty or worse.

I cannot tell you exactly how bad it’s going to be or if you’re gonna make it.

What I can tell you is that this monster mega-crash will happen. It’s unavoidable.

Math and reality doesn’t tell lies.

$1=$1, and you cannot conjure up something out of thin air.

You will all be shot down. Some will only get injured, some may even find a way to benefit, but some will die. Literarily die. And I am not only talking about the tens of millions of people living on the edge of starvation, no, I am referring to you.

A bullet fired from this financial revolver will tear through your skin, then your muscle fibers, then crumble your bone, then pierce through one of your organs in an abhorrent, abominable, appalling, atrocious, awful, cruel, despicable, detestable, dire, dreadful, excruciating, execrable, fearful, formidable, ghastly, gruesome, grim, grisly, gruesome, harrowing, heinous, hideous, horrendous, horrid, horrific, loathsome, mean, nasty, nefarious, obnoxious, repulsive, revolting, shocking, terrible, ugly, unbearable, ungodly, unpleasant, unspeakable, vile manner just like every other gun.

For those few of you reading this; remember who your real enemy is. It’s not business men; it’s not the market or capitalism. It’s not even socialism despite me (and others) sometimes arguing just that. There are socialist traits, but this is really about greed, about power, and it is a fascist collaboration between government and the big sharks. The ones that you should target are government, politicians in general, big oily banksters, journalists that lie to you or cover up the truth, diplomats and bureaucrats. Every smug madman smiling at you from the headlines arguing that more money in circulation and government borrowing is a good thing is your enemy.

But if truth be told, if you really want to blame someone for the approaching Greatest Depression, you’d only need to look into a mirror. You voted for it. You cheered for it. You like them bossing you around.

You are an idiot.

So, I guess you won't understand this post either eh?

The Demopublican party wins - as always

 

You vote, we feast and dance!

From one perspective the electoral result in the U.S. with the hag Nancy Pelosi losing the speaker's gavel and GOP winning at least 50 seats, more than enough needed to take over the House, can be regarded as a good thing. The voters did kick a little on an already going down Obamination, a couple of new house representatives can be regarded as good people, and at least some of the maddening schemes will come to a halt.

Top Republicans gleefully claimed victory, as they should, from their perspective. They got several new well-paid jobs, and more people in government consequently more hands in the cookie jar. Not only did they gain cushy jobs in the House and at federal levels, they’ve also put their grabby little oily mittens on at least 10 governorships, with some additional governorships still too close to call.

So shouldn’t I, as a representative of the far, far right cheer on? Shouldn’t I be happy?

Nope.

A slightly lesser evil is still evil, and from an economic perspective this may actually make things worse. The republicans may put a slight halt to the Marxist wheel, maybe reduce the harm made to certain sectors, maybe even cut a few corners, but will they actually take action and reduce the massive deficit and be brave enough to start eliminating the enormous benefit mountain that is bleeding America from within?

Nope.

And since the only thing keeping U.S. from crashing right now is phony numbers, mad Ponzi schemes and the FED’s inflationary policies, it makes you wonder what any republican tampering will do to this volatile situation.

Looking at other interesting things, will republicans reduce the number of military bases abroad, reduce the military budget and stop the wars?

Nope

Will republicans dismantle the surveillance nightmare earlier governments have put in place?

Nope.

Will the republicans start prosecuting banksters and clean up a totally fraudulent housing system?

Nope.

Will they end the FED and bring back real money?

Nope.

Most likely they will totally ignore such issues or, even more likely, they will increase government in these areas. As said - evil!

If they actually won’t do anything about the real problems of the economy, which they won’t, and at the same time only arbitrarily stop a couple of Democrat suggestions and make only symbolic cuts and having to fight the senate and the president while doing so I actually think such a situation will make matters worse, not better.

The two-party system is a scam; it’s all about the ‘Demopublican’ party winning again and again. No matter who gets the power the power stays within the confine of the elite. Sadly not even the hijacked by republicans Tea Party movement seem to get that.

Leftie media tries to paint out the Tea Baggers as some kind of grassroots movement from the far right. Of course filled with racists KKK members, gun-toting maniacs, religious fanatics and horrible pro-lifers. Although such individuals do exists within the Tea Party ranks, they have very little impact and are so few they would hardly be noticed... but media finds them, of course, and portray them as the spokespersons of the entire movement. That’s how journalists work. In the real world its normal Americans, average people that simple have had enough. Republicans may think they’ve managed to tap into that and made them theirs, but that won’t last very long. Not with a full out bloody depression just around the corner and with republicans lacking the will to actually do something about it.

And the very foundation of the Tea Party is rather libertarian than conservative and if there is a founding father of the Tea Party movement it’s probably Ron Paul, the libertarian congressman from Texas. Sadly human rights and back-to-American-basics views have been left out more and more as republicans stole the show.

There’s a pant up rage within the U.S. and it’s still there, and when the people finds out, AGAIN, that republicans are nothing more than slightly better dressed Democrats and this while the economy continues to go from worse to horrible, I would not want to be in any politicians shoes…

Useless dried-up wankstains

Do you wonder why government doesn’t want you armed? Well this is why.

Police revealed Friday that they had been tipped off "by a credible source" that a bomb attack was planned in central Gothenburg, Sweden. The police get together and put on those funny storm trooper outfits and load up with masks, machine guns and the whole enchilada. They then let this task force storm the home of several people, threatening entire families, pointing guns at little children, and detained four suspects, questioned them and then the police…. let the ‘suspects’ go…?

I would expect that when the police go to these extremes they’ve actually found something tangible, something real, they would certainly not detain four people in this way and later let them walk out of the police station?

Well, you are the property of government. Your life, your money and your choices are theirs to keep, give or take away. And whenever, for whatever reason, they can send their stooges into your home, armed to the teeth, to threaten your loved ones lock you up and question you without probable cause.

In a fair society with people armed the police may have been gunned down by citizens and neighbors that actually have the right to defend them and their property. In essence no police would ever use violence in this manor without a really good reason for it.

Since we don’t know the whole story it’s hard to form a 100% opinion, but from what we know it seems that an overzealous monitoring society picked up a phone conversation where the word “bomb” and some other stuff was mentioned. And off the Storm Troopers went! They used a word! Oh no! Alert the secret police and increase the threat level! Lets frighten people and go to media and tell everyone that someone WILL DETONATE A BOMB (not if, maybe or perhaps).

Again, I need to ask; why do we put up with this crap? It’s not only because guns and self-defense is illegal, anyone with the slightest incline can get any sort of weaponry within hours. Yes, even in gun-free Sweden, not a problem. And it’s not that there is more of them, we, the people, outnumber them 10 000 to 1, so what is it? Are we too lazy? Too jaded perhaps?

It was very frightening earlier this year when the Swedish Minister of (in)justice proposed that small little children can be detained, have needles forced into their tiny bodies and be required to pee and leave blood and so on, only for the reason that someone within the autocracy suddenly feels like it. What did The People do?

Nothing.

I couldn’t believe it.

I don’t have children. Actually I don’t like those sorts of noisy and costly buggers - don’t like them at all. Still, I was so angry and so upset that I almost started looking for that grassy knoll and almost made phone calls that would have brought the security police to my doorstep. Satan will not help you bureaucrats out there if I ever have children and you come by and try something like this on them. I’ll go postal. I’d start killing. And no, this is not a joke because I would love my children and would rather die fighting for their rights as humans than let government put needles in them – apparently all the rest of you out there don’t mind having your children tortured so I guess that having police storming into homes without any reason and scaring up an entire society with fake bomb-scares is pretty normal. That hardly reaches your radar does it?

Wake up! And stop frolicking about like magnificent poofsters while you complain about youngsters having analsex. That stupid mumbling about saving the chiiiildreeen whenever a cigarette is lit is just for show, at least Swedish parents don’t like their young. Probably hate them more than I do. Torture? Bah! Builds character.

We are sending soldiers across the globe to a conflict that has nothing whatsoever to do with us, fighting an “enemy” that has never done a single thing to harm us. And for what? To support trigger happy trailer trash from across the pond running about thinking they are the best thing that happened to the world since red wine?

At home we’re setting up a Hitleresque vet dream of surveillance and we’re really only half a step away from having CCT’s in every home, this while the police can get away with murder.

What the fuck is wrong with you? You’d rather watch survivor than take five minutes to explain to your kids why they need to be tortured by authorities don’t ya?

Oh, the coming years of economic disasters and upheavals will be so enjoyable. You’ve all deserved it, and worse. I can only hope we get some of those funny little men with grandiose dreams to lead you sheople into another world war. That would be great fun and I would laugh, and laugh, and laugh…

Mad Moronic Muslims

I am not saying these guys are alone in their craziness - wouldn’t surprise me if there are a lot of Christian sects saying the same thing – but still, I mean hadn’t we left the dark ages? And is it really better to let people die than to take money from Pamela?

Religion – freaky!


Pamela Anderson's plans to donate the earnings from her Playboy cover shoot to an Indonesian disaster relief fund have been slammed by a hardline Islamic group.

Anderson announced the plans on her own website, saying “I’ve just shot another Playboy cover that will debut in January for Hugh Hefner, at his request -- I adore him. Playboy and I decided to do this, so I could donate earnings from the shoot to Waves for Water.”

But the Islamic Defenders Front on Monday told Indonesia's Metro TV that the donation to the charity -- which works to bring clean drinking water to disaster hit zones -- would be "against the law of God" because it was obtained through "immoral acts."

“If she wants to be photographed naked, then she is challenging a bigger disaster to happen in Indonesia. It's haram [forbidden],” Habib Umar Salim, the head of FPI's advisory council said.



//And yes, I do admit to having this post in order to show a nude Pamela. So sorry to you Islamic wacko fanatics, you’ll hardly the point of this post…

Absentee

Sorry folks, lately blogging have been scarce and will continue to be so for another couple of weeeks. I am moving. Not really to the deserted island with fantastic banana-growing properties I was looking for, in fact I won’t even leave the European Union. But a change of scenery and going to one of the oldest and sexiest cities of Europe has its charm.

As to my future plans, if my calculations and predictions come true, I’ll probably move back to Sweden and go rouge into the forests and hills of middle and northern Sweden were hardly anyone goes. Growing crops in that area isn’t easy, so that’s a challenge, otherwise all the necessities of life exist. At least for those of us that can manage without home delivered pizza and the latest reality show.

Hopefully it won’t come to that (yeah, who am I kidding?) or at least I’ll be able to work and play around with the locals for some years before things unravel. I may even stay or move further along within the company. I hear they have facilities in South East Asia so that’s a distinct possibility.

European governments are starting to do the right thing i.e. saving, cutting expenditure and increasing interest rates, but it is too little and waaaaay too late. This they should have done 2-3 years ago (or, preferably decades ago) when the recession struck. Sure it would have been painful, but it would have been over today - we would be in full recovery by now. Sadly they did the complete opposite; they borrowed, printed and spent trillions while keeping interests rates ridiculously low and imposing more regulations and restrictions.

So when things crash now, very soon, while they are actually doing the right thing, then all those opposite-reality maniacs will feel they’ve been vindicated.

“You see, they cut spending and reduced government – now we’re in a depression”

This will be repeated. Endlessly. Until the people are so indoctrinated with slogans and socialist ideas that they accept anything coming from these übermench. And since such righteous elitists, at least in Europe, have a fantastic plaything called the European Union, I cannot see this ending in anything else but what Hitler and Napoleon dreamt about.

Oh, I Godwin:ed… horrible me…

And America… oh by lord mighty Beelzebub and his fierily sticks…

The former hope of humanity, the land of the foreclosed and home of the not so brave, is about to take the biggest tumble of them all. For some reason I actually think we Europeans will make it, as long as we stay away from too many wars and don’t let another warmongering sycophant rule the show (which, let’s face, is a possibility), we’ll be pretty fine. It will be horrible, cannibalistically agonizingly horrible – but we’ve seen similar things before. The fall of Rome, the sacking of Thrace, Mongol invasions, the Black Death, the 30 years war, the minor depression in the 30’s, and even both world wars and the cold war was felt much closer and struck much harder in Europe than it ever did in America. This time it’s different. Sure we’ll hurt like hell over here and suffer immensely, but the ones really going down the crapper is the U.S. and its citizens And, frankly, I can’t see ‘em making it.

The constitution, a vast country with lots of grain fields, and that can-do spirit may still save some, maybe even resurrect the former glory within some states, but the country as a whole, that 50 stars haven will die. Poff! Go into the light. Never to be seen again.

We know this because we've seen this sort of thing before.

A vast empire with military bases everywhere running enormous deficits while imposing harder and harder restrictions for its own - ever increasingly - tormented people. An empire fighting in wars it cannot or will not win. An empire in moral and economical decline while the rest of the world looks on - partly anxiously and partly looking to grab what’s left of the ruins for themselves.

History is in the making all around us and you should feel fortunate to be a part of one of the biggest turning points in the history of mankind. You’re not aware today, but someday down the line, fifty, a hundred or two hundred years from now they will write essays, make shows about, and do so many in-depth documentaries about our time it will boggle your mind. I hope I’ll end up as a footnote somewhere as a reference to one ‘sane voice’, but most likely I’ll just disappear from history like all the rest of you buffoons. However I’ll have fun watching the rest of you, and make sweet marry on my own as much as possible.

I think this passage from the Epic of Gilgamesh says it the best:

Gilgamesh, whither rovest thou?

The life thou pursuest thou shalt not find.

When the gods created mankind,

Death for mankind they set aside,

Life in their own hands retaining.

Thou, Gilgamesh, let full be thy belly

Make thou merry by day and by night.

Of each day make thou a feast of rejoicing,

Day and night dance thou and play

Let thy garments be sparkling and fresh,

Thy head be washed, bathe thou in water.

Pay heed to the little one that holds thy hand,

Let thy spouse delight in thy bosom,

For this is the task of mankind.

A must watch!

This is something everyone should see.

After seeing this, ask yourself; how long will people stand for this? How long before a “maniac” shooting police officers becomes a hero? How long before rebellions, actual bloody upheavals, are in effect?

You may think such things are far away, but there is a limit somewhere, even to you. You are all sheople, screwed and bullied sheople. But there is a limit...

... where is yours?

The bizarro world of humans

Starting my day by reading Leg Iron, as I always do, I felt the need to check out news across the globe on my own. Although almost all news bulletins in our modern time has an inherent charm, I actually find that what most people wouldn’t consider ‘fun’ as the funniest stories of all.

Let me give you some of todays amusing examples.

Remember Haiti? They had a little rumble the other year, got an obscene amount of billions thrown at them, and now they have a Cholera outbreak. Why is this funny? Because the country has received so much money in aid, even before the Earth Quake, that the 9 million inhabitants should be relaxing on beautiful beaches. Instead they are starving, they still have about 2 million people homeless (or close to it) and now they are facing an illness easily avoided.

What they need are self-reliant citizens with an understanding on how to build houses. What they need is an armed populace able to defend themselves and their property against thieving lefties. What they need is freedom and a minimalistic government that stay out of peoples affairs. What they need is capitalism. Instead they got ex-presidents W-chimp and the McDonald’s munching Cunt’on, do help them. What they got was billions upon billions in aid sent alongside thousands of rescue workers and so many containers filled with water, food and blankets that it could have fed the entire city of Miami for a year. It didn’t work, it never works. So they continue to starve, they continue to be bullied around by a corrupt system, and they continue to attract funny diseases easily avoided.

Another side-splitting story comes from Mexico where gunmen stormed a party in the border city of Ciudad Juarez killing at least 13 people and wounding 14. Although not yet directly linked to the Mexican governments war against its own people, it’s not very farfetched to think that certain inhabitants going on these sorts of sprees can be linked to the pointless war on drugs. Instead of letting people make informed decisions on a open market making drugs cheap, clean and free from mafia, the Mexican government prefers tens of thousands dead. What every government in the history of this planet has failed to do, the Mexican thinks they can do with enough corrupt police officers and a couple of helicopters from the U.S. For every detached head found and for every easily avoided massacre I cannot help myself laughing, and laughing, and laughing…

In Sweden the police continue to hunt for a serial shooter. This fiendish “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years (with a margin of error of some years) is apparently getting around on a bike on his well-planned spree. It seems that he’s a lousy shot since all his victims are still alive, but he’s still putting the scare into people so they hardly want to go outside. At the same time we’re told about several rapes all over the country. Women are, as usual, defenseless victims without any sort of self-reliance and need to count on the mighty police for protection.

As the solution to both of these problems is obvious – allow self-defense! – I cannot help finding the whole thing really funny. I am not saying all rapes or all cycling fiendish “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years (with a margin of error of some years) would go away if people were allowed to defend themselves, but if I were a rapists or a fiendish “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years (with a margin of error of some years) I would certainly think twice before attacking someone if I knew people are armed.

And finally, saving the best for last, U.S. Secretary of State, Mrs. Cunt’on, have announced a $2bn aid package to be send to Pakistan. This on top of the more than $1bn of aid a year since 2005; last fiscal year, U.S. gave nearly $2bn. This sounds kind of “good” doesn’t it? Maybe you’re thinking they want to help Pakistan with the hundreds of thousands of fleeing refugees getting hunted down by U.S. drones, or maybe you’re wondering how much of this help will go to the starving and hurting from the flooding catastrophe, or maybe it’s a way to repay the damages done by military strikes into Pakistani territory, or maybe it’s just a gesture of good will.

Nope.

All that money and what the media is calling “aid” is going to the Pakistani Military.

Isn’t that great!?

Here we have a completely broke America running enormous deficits and running head first into a giant depression, but they still manage to conjure up billions to be send to the army of what needs to be considered a dictatorship while the people of said country is suffering immensely. Now that’s funny!

People don’t want to be saved; they want misery, disasters and wars. Look around you, the evidence is compelling. How many live on the edge of volcanoes and act surprised when lava flows into their living room? How often do we hear about a fisherman going out to sea when a hurricane is about to hit? People live in wooden houses without storm cellars in the path of tornado clouds; others go swimming in shark infested waters and cannot believe they’ve lost an arm. Every year people whooshes of the road because they get astonished that it snows above the pool circle.

And, maybe funniest of all, where do people turn when they need to be rescued? To the very entity that is largely responsible for most of the hurting – to government. In order to be saved from wars and starvation they turn to the creature that is the only thing capable of starting wars and the entity that is almost single-handedly responsible for every famine catastrophe throughout history.

If you don’t find this amusing then there is something wrong with you.

Another crack in a declining empire

A grim picture of the US and Britain's legacy in Iraq has been revealed in a massive leak of American military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes.

Among the things revealed the US military gave a secret order not to investigate torture by Iraqi authorities, that they deliberately withhold the actual number of civilians dead, and a couple of incidents of pure executions.

Sadly, nothing of this is a surprise. I’ve highlighted several of these things before, and so have others, but thanks to WikiLeaks we now have much more evidence and something to actually point to whenever someone says it cannot be so.

To a certain point war crimes and a limited amount of events can be “excused”. What I mean by that is that in war shit happens, and no matter how cautiously recruits are chosen, there will be one or two complete psychopaths picked. But what is shown by these documents is deliberate, planned and ignored “shit”. This isn’t some occasional idiot doing something against orders, no, it’s sanctioned and encouraged.

Please also remember that the reason for starting the war, invading Iraq and occupying its territory were extremely shady to start with.

One also has to add Afghanistan to this equation, as well as continuous drone attacks against fleeing civilians in Pakistan and many other fun things being done by this coalition of mass murderers.

America is not only losing the war in Afghanistan they are also losing credibility and support all across the world. And this they do at the same time as they are throwing trillions of dollars into a devouring war machine, running enormous deficits, crushing their communications with restrictions, imposing 1984-style internet laws and mad government schemes. US have an uneasy population back home and a looming depression at the horizon.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how empires die!

Sorry, but I need to say this to you US citizens out there, you’re starting to deserve it. Your masters are really at fault, but you let it happen, you voted for them, and with millions of dead demanding justice and revenge ordinary folks will be and, to a certain extent, should be targets.

And this is, for me, probably the worst thing about the whole thing. US forces and the American establishment have alienated hundreds of millions of people that is now starting to look at Western democracy, ‘capitalism’ and consumerism ( none of which has anything to do with these crimes against humanity) as the very essence of evil. These people didn’t hate American freedom and way of life before, but they are certainly starting to do so now.

There have been so many scandals; so many crimes against humanity, war crimes and total disrespect of all things the U.S. should stand for that it will be almost impossible to rebuild any sort of good reputation again. Most Americans doesn’t seem to understand this. Partially because the American media fail to report and dig into the stories.

Once upon a time America was the dream, even for me. As the only country in the history of mankind that started with the premises of equality, justice and freedom many have looked at the U.S. as the shining beacon of hope. This is getting destroyed, and although the deterioration has been going on for a very long time we’ve certainly seen an escalation in the last decade.

The terrorist attack of 9/11 was a tragedy, and a cowardly assault on innocent people. Although there are some who argues that even that attack was deserved – I am not one of them – it wouldn’t be wrong to feel like that if another similar attack happens today, today it actually would be a justified one.

I’ll even go so far as to say that I almost root for so called “Muslim extremists” wanting revenge. This is a war, and the ones doing all the killing, all the torture, the rapes, and slaughtering the innocent is the U.S coalition. “It's only terrorism when the bad guys do it” doesn’t cut it anymore, enough is enough

Finally I want you all to go and check papers from across the world. Read what British, French and Swedish papers write about WikiLeaks (and the difference between them) and then go across the pond and check out American news. If you don’t see the difference you’re a moron. U.S. citizens are feed lies, but so are you. Journalists aren’t your friends, they are your enemies. Get that into your skull and take that into account every time you read, see or hear any sort of news from any sort of news-outlet.

(10) Things I don’t hate about Dexter

As a long time hater of all things commercial and loather of all things politically correct, I rarely watch TV. In fact I haven’t own one of those idiot boxes in over 11 years. I do continuously watch a couple of shows, downloading them online free from commercials, but almost only to keep myself occupied during rainy days. Generally I only watch documentaries about science, history and our deteriorating economy.

But I have followed a few shows – like Buffy the Vampire slayer and the magnificent Firefly as two of the most shining exceptions. The last couple of years’ only one show is actually on my radar – Dexter.

This politically incorrect show features a mass murderer as the ‘hero’ and we get to follow him trying to avoid ending up in the electric chair while he hacks up other killers and throw their mutilated bodies into the Golf Stream, all the while he works for the police as a forensics investigator…

There are a lot of things about the show that tickles my interest, like the cursing over the top sister of the psychopathic ‘hero’ or the raw sense of humor that’s like a red thread throughout, but the main attraction is probably that it never stops changing. Main characters die frequently, and the problems for our lovable mass murderer is everything from changing diapers to how to best get rid of body parts.

Just as I assumed the show peaked last season with the magnificent John Lithgow playing the ‘Trinity Killer’, the writers and makers came up with an intrigue that involves the beautiful and captivating Julia Stiles. Hopefully a new adept of Dexter’s, maybe even a spin-off with a female serial killer in the service of “good”? But, as said, the show is very unpredictable and it wouldn’t surprise me if Lumen (Julia Stiles) dies from tripping on a children toy in the next episode.

The Music is great, and the supporting actors, although stealing a bit too much focus sometimes, are also on the top of their game.

As I hinted above there are a lot of things to do with a show like this. The writers really have a sack full of treats and things can really go anywhere. Will Dexter get caught and play the Hannibal to a new Clarice? Will CIA recruit him to catch Bin Laden? How will sister Deborah react once she finds out what her brother really does all those late nights? Will they follow the story of the books and let the kids learn the way of Harry?

Me, I really hope they rap up things with a sixth season, end at the top so to say, and then let the new serial killer and Dexter’s female equivalent of Julia Stiles go on a spree across America in her own spin-off. Maybe even have a cross-over with ‘Criminal Minds’? Yeah, I know - another network…

I suggest you take look at this show, if you haven’t already. With the exception for the occasional naked breast and one or two heads being decapitated, it’s really a family show that everyone can watch.


And no, I don’t get paid for this, but if any casting director for the show need a Swede to make meatballs out of his victims, please let me know…

Police Intellectuals

A crack team of profilers, a massive manhunt and lots and lots of police are all over the shootings in Malmö, Sweden. They’ve came together to solve the wave of seemingly related shootings targeting immigrants in the city.

After they'd investigate the evidence from the crime scenes, composed a profile and brought forth the entire brain trust of Sweden’s justice system they have come up with the following:

- The shooter is between 20-40 year old and in all likelihood a man.
- It is likely that since immigrants been targeted that this guy hates immigrants or belongs to a right-wing group.

Wow… that’s just fantastic work isn’t it? A couple of eye witnesses have pointed out that it’s a man and that 20-40 year span is just breathtaking, probably with a slight margin of error. And the smartness of figuring out that the shooter probably doesn’t like immigrants when only those have been shot is like… Sherlock stuff.

I mean, really, is this what we pay taxes for?

Just after I’d blog posted yesterday, another two women got shot through a window in the center of Malmo. Probably by the same “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years that our brilliant investigating whizzes are looking for.

Apparently people are getting afraid to go out, I have a solution for all you out there - get a gun! If someone starts shooting at ya, shot back. And if (a very big ‘if’) the geniuses within the police actually manage to find you and want to lock you up for defending yourself, you still have that gun left…

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Well, it happened again.

For a country were guns are totally banned and any form of carry-on weaponry can lead to prison time, Sweden certainly have a lot of shootings.

Isn’t it strange that criminals seem to ignore anti-gun laws?

Very puzzling it is.

While the police, magnificently ineffective as always, tries to find the, according to journalists; fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter that seem to roam the streets of Malmö, a 16y old got to look down the barrel of a gun in the same city. Probably unrelated to the fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shootings, but who knows. The 16y old is still alive and safe by the way.

In Kalmar, also in Southern Sweden, a man who claimed he was wearing a bomb were encircled by police and later surrendered. The guy didn’t really have a bomb, and I was kind of puzzled by that little intermezzo too for a while. I mean, it is illegal to run around town with a bomb isn’t it? So why did the police encircle him? Seem strange to me. If it is illegal, everyone obeys, so in actuality the police didn’t need to be there. In fact, do we actually need the police? At all?

Maybe we need them for stuff like this ?

Now that’s taxpayer money hard at work.

Again, I need to ask, when (not ‘IF’) the next spree occurs, would you rather have people unarmed, unprotected and let the police stop by later to collect body parts or do you want people to be able to defend themselves?

This is what it comes down to you know.

We all know what the soul-suckers of Government will say; they don’t want people to defend themselves. Cannot have self-reliant humans without fear being able to shot back at criminals out there, wouldn’t be in the best interest of the elitists now would it?

This is the difference between armed, and not armed. Please watch.



And if you ever wondered why government don’t won’t you armed, listen to her last sentence.

A country without guns

As we all know criminals always obey the law, that’s why they are criminals, right? So whenever our righteous masters believe it is in our best interest that self-defense is outlawed and no-one is allowed to put safeguards in place because - and this is the funny part – government will protect us, we can be absolutely sure we’ll be safe. Right?

Okay, so what is wrong with this picture?

Map over Shootings in Malmö, Southern Sweden.

And mind you, this is one city, and only this year.

Of course some will argue that this is because the city of Malmö is by large a haven for immigrants and so for gun-toting Muslims, militant mafias and biker gangs. Although not completely wrong, that is a very simplified picture seen more from xenophobic eyes than reality.

Others may argue that the Social Democrats governing the city have capitulated and their socialists’ ways have brought forth the worst in people. Even if I would like to believe that to be true, it’s not really so.

I’ve also seen so called ‘experts’ argue that the closeness to the continent via Copenhagen and a rapid expansion of the population are key elements in the escalating violence. If that was true one can only assume that cities like Hamburg and Amsterdam are war zones and that whenever people fuck too much or move in larger numbers mayhem ensues.
You don’t really need a degree in asylum-awareness to dismiss such a claim.

The truth is that all of these are a part of the ‘why’, but there is also two other reasons that should be acknowledged.

Firstly we have a situation in Sweden whereas people in general are losing confidence in the law and the justice system. For most of the time this isn’t visible so it won’t show up in statistics, and I can hardly prove it other than to point out that every person living in Sweden continually, and consciously, break the law on a daily basis.

Think about it for a moment.

Do you really drive within the limit? Do you always have your seatbelt on? Do you always apply for permits when doing alterations to your house? Do you really care that downloading music and movies is punishable? And how many have smoked a joint, bought smuggled beer or put a jug of moonshine on the table lately? Do you always file correct tax information? Ever walked against a red light?

The laws are so many, and so intrusive that we need each lawyer to have their own, small, petite, minuscule area of the law as their expertise. No-one knows exactly how many laws and regulations there are for everything around us, and when you start to think about it it’s worse than picturing all the billions of galaxies in the universe filled with trillions upon trillions of stars and planets. So why care about every single detail?

Do a little experiment a normal day and try to see how many laws you break. The result will probably shock you, and that’s only for the laws and rules you can or may know.

As if that isn’t enough we’re on a weekly basis reminded that the law only applies for the common man. When banksters waste billions on scams they get a pat on the back and get their pockets re-filled via the treasury, but God help a normal citizen if his tax-return contains a small error. And how many times haven’t we seen, heard or read about politicians’ frequent visits to porn clubs or how they put lavish dinner parties on the taxpayers tab?

This combination has over time deteriorated peoples respect for law and order. And rightfully so.

Also there are many laws that are highly moronic, seemingly only there to create criminals and not to protect anyone. The limitation on bringing in alcohol from abroad is one such law, the illegality of Marijuana another. Not to mention all the crap that pours in from EU each year.

Secondly we are not allowed to protect ourselves. Well okay, there are certain things we are allowed to, like defend ourselves when attacked, within reason that is – cannot hurt the attacker too much… But in general we’re pretty much defenseless and the only thing we can rely on is the police - an under-staffed bunch of bullies that, like the rest of us, have no clue what law really says, and can almost ONLY arrived at the scene after the fact.

Getting raped and manage to phone it in? Well, just wait for 15min and two officers will arrive and take your statement. If you’re alive that is. And if you are getting raped and fight back, please be gentle to the poor rapists, if you bruise him too much you can get sued or locked up, maybe even get jail time far longer than that of any rapist.

A women getting raped should have the absolute right to cut off the penis of her attacker, a family facing a home inversion should have the absolute right to take a machete and hack the thugs into little pieces, a shop keeper getting robbed should have the absolute right to pull out a shotgun and blow away the head of the robber. This isn’t so, only government has the right to protect you.

So when ordinary folks aren’t allowed to own and carry guns, no-one else will either. Right? After all when government has outlawed something even criminals listens. Right? At least that’s the premise we live by.

How strange that it doesn’t seem to work…

Black Monday followed by a horrible rest of the year?

Yesterday was a cut off hand still wiggling on the ground while blood spurted all over the place. It was yet another black day on humanities road towards the chasm of absolute darkness.

As usual it was the market manipulations that made the day hilarious to say the least.

We got news that foreigners continue to acquire U.S. Treasury securities despite their low yields, and despite the obvious frauds. Foreigners need to consider both the additional exchange rate risk and the lower expected return, making it very irrational for non-Americans to invest in U.S. treasury securities.

Makes you wonder who the buyer really is, doesn’t it? Oh, it couldn’t be any of the foreign banks that got some hundreds of billions in dollars from the FED (and others) bail-out, right? And it is not other failing governments propping up the dollar and the market. Certainly not…

But the fun was really up and running when we were told that:

“NYSE Euronext cancelled all trades in the $74.8 billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust that occurred at almost 10 percent below the security’s opening price, according to an email sent by the exchange."

This is the same as to say that the market crashed but they halted it by simply refusing people to trade… Or, in layman terms, FUCK YOU! WE CONTROL THE MARKET!

And China decided to, again, cut export quotas for rare earth metals next year by up to 30 percent. China, which accounts for more than 90 percent of the world's total production of rare earth, has cut its export quotas this year by 40 percent from 2009 levels. You may not look at this as something that is that bad, but consider that these rare earth elements are used in crucial new green technologies such as hybrid cars and wind turbines as well as in mobile phones and missile guidance systems, and consider that China provides almost all of that to the rest of the world, and maybe you understand.

China is of course saying they need to save their supply so they won’t run out, but it’s really another protectionist action which will have more impact than the obviousness of much higher prices on several key products within our modern economy.

Meanwhile in several areas of Africa the countdown towards a massive famine catastrophe continues, hardly even noticed in the rest of the world. Niger, Chad, Mali Mauritania, and many other countries and areas are filled with hundreds of thousands of children who are severely malnourished; and people’s most precious asset, their livestock, has died in large numbers. The autumn harvest doesn’t seem to have filled up the necessary quota and we’re only half a step from those tens of millions dead I was talking about 2 years ago.

So if I’m right about the next financial crash being just around the corner, we’ll be looking at so many heaps of dead in Africa I suspect cannibalism will be the next big thing. Probably something for the banking cartels to consider trading in - very easy to manipulate the livelihood of gnawing on human flesh. Me, I am looking forward to seeing newly acquired inner thighs from a 7y old who died from malnourishment on the shelves.

Zombieland indeed.

Anyway, I could go on, but I’ll finish off with some side-splitting news from Sweden where the government isn’t too happy with the current low death-toll among our under-equipped soldiers. Apparently the Swedish forces in Afghanistan will embark on a southward move to more unsecure locations. This conflict that has nothing to do with Sweden on the other side of the world with “enemies” that has never, not even once, done anything against us, is about to take a more bloody color.

And it appears that many of my countrymen love this so much that each coffin landing back home is a reason to sign up to join the slaughter. Applications to go abroad to help out with the murder of Muslims is souring.

Do I even need to argue the case of the “everyone on this planet is an idiot” theorem anymore?

Finally we were told that government own enterprises in Sweden that were supposed to be sold off, will haft to wait. What I thought would at least buy a small respite for my birth-nation when the real financial mayhem starts, will likely not happen any time soon which brings me back to the ‘we are all fucked’ scenario.

On a high-note I’ll be happy to inform that my stock-pile of suger is sufficient. Still looking for other basic goods, such as guns, a shortwave radio, and information about how to best kill zombies, but at least some preparations are on the way. Can you say the same?

How they indoctrinate you

Here’s another angle about the pointless deaths of Swedish soldiers you should know about.

Have you noticed the headlines and how journalists are writing about the Afghan war? How many words like “blood”, “raped”, “murdered families”, and “suffering children” have you read lately? How many articles have you seen pointing out that women are hurting more today than 9 years ago? How many news reports have you seen about the exponential increase in drug trade? How many pictures, videos and articles have you seen about blown-up children or beheaded families?

Not many eh?

Okay, so now think about what they try to tell you about this dead soldier.

It’s clearly a “tragedy”, the feeling among the other soldiers is “sadness”, and politicians are feeling ”sympathy” and “sorrow” for the soldier’s family. Very soft and comforting words. These are mixed with statistics on how the horrible Taliban have stepped up their attacks seemingly killing the innocent and, of course, murdering brave Swedish soldiers fighting for freedom and puppies everywhere.

This is brainwashing, nothing else, nothing less.

To a point it is also understandable brainwashing. From our masters point of view they need us to be complacent with how things are. From a military standpoint they of course need both public support and motivated soldiers. Journalists cannot really write that Swedish soldiers are helping with the slaughter of tens of thousands for no reason whatsoever. Wouldn’t sound that good now would it? And ordinary citizens partly have an inherited defense mechanism telling them that ‘the others’ are always the bad folk, and partly they feel more for a young Swede killed than hundreds of Muslim families butchered.

So it is slightly understandable, but nevertheless frightening. Well, kind of humorous to.

Ever heard people around you questioning how so many Germans could stand idly by when trains went to holocaust camps? Or why so many, almost voluntary, let Soviet death squads execute them? Well now you know why. You would have done the same. All of you out there who are buying the crap they are feeding us and swallowing the brainwashing, you are exactly the same sorts of people that would have stood idly by when Jews were thrown into camps.

Most of you reading this will of course dismiss my writing - you’ll feel you’ve been Godwin-ed. Also a perfectly understandable reaction. But if you feel it necessary for young Swedish soldiers to fight in a conflict that has nothing whatsoever to do with Sweden, against a supposed enemy that has done nothing to us, half across the world where there’s absolutely nothing for us to gain, what would you call it? Insanity perhaps? Maybe you just want lots, and lots of dead Muslims?

And if we really are there to help, why are women suffering more today than 9 years ago? Why do we protect a regime who wants rape to be legal? Why are we letting drug kingpins in Afghanistan grow stronger for each day that passes? Why are we watching house after house getting destroyed while handing out food rations that hardly would feed a rat?

I find this pretty hilarious actually. We’ve learned nothing from history, and when Sweden for the first time in 200 years is involved in a war, we do so with reasons far shadier than any war before.

Fun, fun, fun…

When did pointless dying become a good thing?

Cannon fodder posing.

A Swedish soldier was killed in Afghanistan on Saturday, he wasn’t the first, and he won’t be the last.

To me a dead soldier isn’t really the worst thing. His grieving family may make me sad, and since he died for useless cause in a country we have no business being in, I do get a tad upset. However neither of those things are what I feel is the worst about this fiasco.

The worst thing is that so many within the general public feel it is a good thing for Swedish soldiers to fight and die in a war across the globe in a country and against a people that has done absolutely nothing to us. No Taliban has ever attacked Sweden, or hardly anyone else for that matter. Yes, sure they are a horrible women hating bunch, but the puppets now ruling the country isn’t much better. And as mentioned many times before, if all we need is a women hating regime with another religion in a far away country for us to send soldiers to, our supplies of manpower would dwindle very fast. If that’s the criteria there are more countries on the planet to send soldiers to than the opposite.

IF we’d been attacked, if we really were in a defensive war I would get behind the Swedish military 100%, hell I would probably apply to join and put myself in danger to protect my family and friends. This isn’t the case here; we are involved in a conflict we have absolutely nothing to do with. There’s no reason for us to be there, no argument valid and no enemy to fight.

These soldiers coming home in coffins are not dying honorable deaths or getting blown up for good cause, they are not defending Sweden or their own families. They are meaninglessly dying for absolutely no reason at all, in a conflict we have absolutely nothing to do with, in a country far, far away that has done nothing against us.

And seemingly many Swedes think this is great. Looking at polls in papers and looking at how absent reactions are, a majority or close to it think we should stay in Afghanistan and that we are doing a great job. Why? Why the hell do they think that? What can possibly be gain from this?

Sweden has been involved in many wars before in history, but most of those I sort of get. We wanted to expand our empire, gain a foothold across the Baltic or stop Russia, Poland or Denmark from gaining influence and threaten our shores. Our kings wanted glory, and our generals wanted to get rich. Those reasons are shady and very questionable, but I still sort of get it, and it was another time when that way of life was acceptable.

But this? In Afghanistan? Why? We’re not getting anything out of this except gaining enemies. There are no riches, glory or land to gain. They say we are there to help people. How? By handing Afghans candy and coke cans while British and American warplanes destroy their cities? They say we are there to protect women. How? By supporting the current puppet regime that is corrupt beyond compare and wants it to be legal to rape women? And, again, if those are the reasons there are a hundred more countries to send soldiers to.

The entire thing is absurd, despicable and totally unnecessary.

Is this what the Swedish people want?

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. People think that restrictive drug policies that murders thousands each year is a good thing, people believe that sky-high taxation and fascist regulations are great, so why wouldn’t they applaud when young men are pointlessly dying? Seem to fit the profile. Murder is good, black is white, and war is peace.

Letting soldiers die is fun

How many more dead do YOU want?

While the American killing-machine rages on, Swedish journalists are trying their very best to keep the Swedish populace thinking it’s a good thing that Swedish soldiers are dying in a conflict we have absolutely nothing to do with. Papers and news coverage are filled with mamby pamby boohooing stories worthy of any Oscar.

When media show us Swedish soldiers they are helping. A kid who has lost his family to American warplanes gets candy, a stray dog with three legs get some water and of course our heroes confiscating one bag of drugs while handing out food and aid to the locals who later go around a hill to work on those poppy fields.

Any camel-fellating or shady deals going on in the background is ignored.

For some reason it is great that Swedes die on the other side of the world. Probably because, after all, they are protecting a corrupt women hating regime and, at the same time, supporting the murder of thousands of families. How can you not love that?

A flourishing drug trade that has never before, in Afghanistan’s entire history, shown such profits – got to support that right? And the fact that during the 9+ years the world’s strongest military with the world’s biggest intelligence service has ONLY manage to do one thing; create more enemies! Yeah, great stuff.

Sending soldiers out to die have been a favorite pastime among politicians throughout the ages, and so when we today (yesterday) are faced with another soldier down, are we really surprised by this?

Our government murders people every day through too high taxation, too overzealous regulations, anti-drug laws, through the manmade global warming scam and countless of other schemes said to protect and help us. So for our politicians to send soldiers to die in a country far, far away and to a conflict we have absolutely nothing, nada, zilch, nil, zero to do with is fully understandable. Soldiers are there for our masters’ amusement.

Should we mourn the dead? Absolutely. Should we support their families? Completely! And as long as they are there our soldiers should have the best equipment possible, which they are seemingly withheld, probably to increase the pleasure that comes with more dead.

For the love of all that is un-holy, why are they there? To protect the drug trade? I know the argument is that it was a horrible regime and bladibladi-bla, but if those reasons are the ones that made us go there, why aren’t we in China? Sudan? Why aren’t we sending troops to Venezuela? To Mozambique or Indonesia? Or how about the country we’re selling military equipment to - Saudi Arabia?

If we really are supposed to help, if we really want to win this so called war, why aren’t we sending tens of thousands of soldiers down there? Why aren’t we urging the Americans to use tactical nukes and really put the pressure on? Why won’t we act with force, determination and conviction? If we did, the conflict would be over very soon. Since we’re not, the only conclusion anyone with working synapses can draw is that they don’t want to win. Probably with the intention to create more terrorists so when they bomb our cities our masters can impose more hilarious regulations.

A tool you should own III

Nuff said…

A tool you should own II

Not really fitting with the text, but still...

Having a good hardy rope around is always a good thing. A rope can be used for hanging laundry, tying up the wife, going rock-climbing or in any number of ways. Of course the choice of rope depends on the purpose of usage. If one, for instance, want to drop something weighing around 190 lbs from between four and ten feet the rope needs to hold for that particular pressure and it should also hold several times over, no need to get to many ropes when you can get the job done with just one.

The strength of a rope, in regards to rock-climbing (which is a good way of knowing what is what when it comes to bodies and falling objects) is measured by the rating of static elongation and maximum impact force. The elongation measures the amount a rope stretches when weighted with a standard load (80 kilograms/176 pounds). Ropes with low static elongation stretch less. Higher static elongation means ropes have more stretch (cushioning the impact of a fall). Maximum impact force refers to the amount of force transmitted to a climber during a fall. Low maximum impact force means the rope (not the climber or the protection) absorbs more of the energy generated in a fall. However, such ropes stretch more, increasing your chances of hitting the ground or a ledge.

But we do not really think about this for our main usage since there should not be any ledge and the feet should certainly never hit ground, but it is good to have some solid background information.

Also, one might consider ignoring doing proper calculations, if the rope does not hold; there will be a funny couple of minutes getting another rope, so to “wing it” have its inherent charm. Maybe we can get additional mandrake root out of the deal?

Another fun potential consequence of not doing the proper groundwork is the same thing that happened to the historical figure of “Black Jack”, that is to say a so severe spinal cord injury may occur that it leads to a total separation.

For our future procedure we also need to decide whether or not to induce a ligature. That may lead to more tenderness between the most upper part and torso with the result of less movement afterwards, but is that really want we want? Such method has been used effectively before, among other places Nuremberg, but surely a bit more dangling and a tad more of muffled noises are preferable?

There is yet another choice to be mad – namely the choice of venue. A tree is classical and has that sense of being close to nature. On the other hand a lamp-post has proven useful before and lampposts are often in close proximity for most urban inhabitants. Whatever the choice may be, make sure to make room for applauding spectators.

Afterwards we need to consider that one or two sphincters may go into relax mood and spontaneously evacuated urine and faeces. Although fun as supplementary proper consequence, it may lead to some stench, which, coincidentally, the entire baggage will produce sooner or later.
Even though the dangling end-product can induce certain levels of righteous thinking, we need to find a proper burial ground. Not of religious reasons, but rather sanitary. Also please remember to mark the spot for future travelers. One can always find a reason to urinate and do a little jig…

A tool you should own

You see? Not big enough...

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 choose? 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 its necessary to first determine your intended purpose. Gardeners for example generally prefer the smaller garden variety because those 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 work in. My thinking however is that I (or at least you Americans reading this) 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 it should also 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 and, if used for sleeping, 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 to feed fires, so wood 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 any problem with trying to find a new wheel if I happen to roll over some barbwire. But the Chinese seem to have a lot of nice ones being sold so this is a hard decision.

I do suggest however that many of you out there start pondering on this issue, especially if you’re living in Bernanke country.
