DAVID Cameron is heading for defeat at the general election after a devastating poll showed his lead slashed to just two points.
This is unbelievable.
Gorgon Brownie is one of worst leaders ever seen and he’s heading up a government that has done everything wrong. Add in all the scandals and the financial calamities and a mongo ant should be able to beat Labour in general elections.
But Tories seem to mess this up.
Can it have something to do with how the Cameronites are pretending to be slightly better Labour that the original perhaps?
The end is nigh and The Greatest Depression is closing in with millions of ferocious, unemployed, disillusioned and helplessly starving infected people erratically walking an unforgiving earth for years to come. Truth to be told we´re heading for a financial apocalypse because you, the people, believe in any tall tale The Powers That Be cables out. All we can do now is to wait for the fattest lady in history to sing the highest note ever heard...

The alien story
Is there little grey sado-interested ‘people’ running around on our planet abducting folk for obscene tests? Do we have reptilian beings living beneath the surface of our world, infecting and impacting on our lives? Have we been visited by tall spooky looking glowy entities? Is there a planet-X roaming around soon to be back with a vengeance?
Popular stories about alien beings visiting us or in different ways affecting us are a big part of modern day mythology. Shows like the X-files and Stargate SG1 as well as movies like The Abyss and countless of books and conspiracists have created a situation whereas even normal people have started to believe.
Is it unthinkable that aliens have or are visiting us? No, not really, but what would they do here? Check out our progress? Dissect us and do experiments? Doesn’t seem likely now does it?
Alien abductions are as plausible as socialism is a good idea.
If Alien has the technology to travel the vast distances of space, shouldn’t they know all there’s to know about us already? Certainly know more than we do in any case.
Reading about the Dagon tribe or early Sumerian writings you cannot help wondering a little. But really?
The only thing I can think of that makes any sense, if one is to buy into this crap, is that Aliens are watching us and placing bets. Which country will attack who, what will that plague do to humans, how mankind will react to earthquakes. Things of that nature would come with odds that the beings can play on. That I could sort of understand. Like a big board with pieces getting moved around. And maybe, just maybe, some of these Aliens like to cheat, fiddle with the odds in their favor and so they sometimes intervene on our planet to get us to do stuff, just to win a bet.
Anyway, looking around online I get very fed-up with all the alien conspiracies that often come up in connection to financial problems, wars and secret societies. Sadly such notions are often mentioned by individuals that I share much politics with.
One more anal-probing, gyro-pyro, levitating-ecoplasm, alien-antimatter story and I might pick up a gun and go postal.
Don’t get me wrong, I would love the existence of Aliens. I would even welcome an invasion; they cannot possibly fuck up things to the same extent as we have. I’m also a science and sci-fi fan and if I got one dying wish granted it would most likely be to travel the stars. However, I don’t let either my imagination or any futile hopes of Alien rescues cloud my judgment or rational thinking.
If there’s an invasion of artificially intelligent, dung-eating robotic probes or we get attacked by little grey ass-investigators I will start to believe, but other than that I don’t see how anyone can take anything conspiracists says for the truth. It is too far out there.

The banking hoax
If you want to know how a central bank works, let’s look at the American situation whereas $100 in 1810 had the same purchasing power as $80.54 in 1913- which is the year Federal Reserve (the US central bank) was created.
Did you notice that the purchasing power went up? During one hundred years Americans got richer and their money became more worth.
But what happen thereafter? Well, $100 in 1913 is the same as $2234.76 in 2009…
After introducing a central bank into the equation the purchasing power have gone down at an incredible speed, and the money value have diminished and is today over 22 times lower than 1913. If it wasn’t for the rapid development of technology Americans would be a lot poorer today than they were 100 years ago.
How about that?
And this isn’t a unique US situation; the same goes on in every country.
What you need to understand is what this means, were this leads and how it affect our way of life.
You see, this is what’s called inflation. The diminishing value of money or rather, more accurately, the expansion of the money supply without increasing the productivity at the same rate.
Inflation is when money loses value. IT IS NOT an increase in prices as the powers that be wants you to think. Prices increase because of inflation, not the other way around.
This means that what we’re being told from media, pundits, politicians and cornflake economists isn’t true; in fact it is the complete opposite of the truth.
YOU ARE BEING LIED TO!
Why? Why don’t they want you to find out what inflation is? Because if you knew, you’d also know who creates it and from there you can probably also find out the answers to a lot of other questions. Answers to questions that are meant to remain secret. Things you shouldn’t know.
The central bank creates inflation. This they do by printing money. The more money they print, the higher the inflation.
Some will argue that via trade we can import and export inflation. This is true to a certain degree, but it still goes back to the central bank in each country. What is not true, however, is that pay has something to do with it. Unions demanding higher salaries are sometime told that too high pay increases may cause inflation, that’s a lie!
Another lie you gotto know about is why our politicians save the banks all the time. They always say that they will never save them again, but this time it is different somehow. We need to save the lending in order to keep GDP up. We cannot let the too big to fail, fail.
But why is it so important to save the banks? Because the entire GDP-scam is contingent on people borrowing money they shouldn’t have in order to buy things they actually don’t need.
In the world of cornflake economics GDP is what matters. We’ve been let to believe that GDP somehow measure wealth and as long as GDP goes up we’re getting richer. Although this may be true sometimes, it is not always the case. In fact GDP can go down and we can still get richer, GDP can be going up while we’re getting poorer.
I’ve gone through the GDP-scam on multiple occasions, but what’s important to realize is that GDP can be manipulated in any number of ways. One way is to have people borrowing money (which doesn’t really effect GDP negatively) and then buy stuff which increase GDP.
Did you get that? If you borrow to spend you’ll increase GDP. And the more you borrow the bigger and the more important banks becomes.
So what would happen if lending institutes stopped lending out money? - GDP would go down.
There’s another reason why it is so important to keep the big banks around. They are the ones that get the inflationary money first.
When the central bank wants more money in circulation they (to make it simple) hand it over to commercial banks. The commercial banks in turn use this money in three ways. They buy stuff, mainly assets at stock markets, they lend it out to the general public, and they save it at the central bank at higher interest rates you as taxpayer pays for. The two first is a big part of the scam that is GDP.
This is also essential in order to keep the inflation-scam going. To control our economy. To control you.
Without this step-by-step hoax they cannot control what’s going on, financially. Without it they cannot inflate bubbles to hide away recessions and without it they cannot make our money less and less worth.
So they cannot let the big banks fail, the entire plan depends on saving the banks. The commercial banks know this, of course. They know they will always be bailed out, so they can go out shopping and gambling. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail, but they always win because if the gambling doesn’t pay out, the central bank and the politicians come to the rescue.
Anyone calling this capitalism is an idiot. This is the opposite of a free market economy. This is deliberate and malevolent planning by dark figures in leather chairs rubbing their hands together going Muhahaha while you, the ordinary citizen, lose no matter what.
They’ve been robbing you blind and they are still doing it.
As I’ve said before, if people really knew what’s being done to them they would be burning down bank-buildings and stringing up central bank people.

Chile quakes
After the big one earlier this morning several aftershocks have hit around the same area. The government reports 76 dead and warns that the toll will rise. The jolt flattens buildings, downs phone lines and creates a "state of catastrophe" in central Chile.
Even if the death-toll rises, compare this with the quake that hit Haiti earlier that was much weaker. This is the difference between a very socialized country with warlords running the show and a slightly less socialized country with a so so democracy. A truly capitalist and free country with a populace that knows they live in an earthquake country would hardly have any casualties at all. Yet another reason why leftie polices doesn’t work…
And if you haven’t got the Quake Alert add-on for your browser, you should. It’s really funny to imagine that people are running for their lives right now from after- shocks and a potential tsunami. And you get to find out before almost all others.

Quake update
A tsunami alert has been issued after a earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 (7.0) struck off southern Japan.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake struck at 0531 (2031 GMT) 84km (52 miles) east of Naha, on the island of Okinawa, Reuters news agency reports.
The quake, only 29km (18 miles) below the seabed, is pretty dangerous and can very well have created a tsunami.

Legalize self-defense now
Every day our papers and news are filled with shop or home owners getting robbed, stabbed, and beaten.
Families get attacked, women get raped and all the time the only thing the police can do is to pick you up and drive you to the hospital.
Catching the perpetrator?
Well, in the few cases the police actually use their resources for other things than chasing down file-shares, cannabis smokers, and people driving little too fast and other hardened criminals, they do sometimes catch one or two. Mostly by accident since only the highly stupid, the very young or the extremely high ones are so dumb they get caught.
There are two reasons why self-defense should be legal.
Firstly every person should be able to defend themselves against any attacker. This ought to be an absolute human right no-one should even question. To a certain extent this is allowed in most countries, but only to a point. The number of people getting convicted for using too much violence or hurting the actual criminal is staggeringly high. Often the victim might even get more jail-time than the attacker, which is absolutely horrific.
The second reason why people should be able to defend themselves is because of the same reason self-defense is illegal. The main offender, the entity that hurt and kills most people worldwide and the main murderer of man throughout the ages is also the entity that doesn’t want you to be able to defend yourself; Your Government.
Nothing comes even close to government when we talk about violence. Even if we put all robbers, thieves, rapists or serial killers together they wouldn’t even compete in the same league.
But citizens cannot be allowed to defend themselves against government, how would that look? If we were allowed to defend ourselves would we then pay for politician’s lavish lifestyle? Would we willingly give away our property to the city council? Could they take away most of our paycheck and buy private jets and build statues of themselves if we, the people, are armed?
This is what they are afraid of, not being able to control you, me and everyone else. And so self-defense is outlawed.
But by all means, don’t listen to me, listen to this woman:
It is better that shop keepers get stabbed to death, women get raped every day and that people live in fear than that they are armed and can defend themselves. This is the essence of government.
I think it is time for us the people to stand up for ourselves. Time to get armed. Time to actually say ‘I am going to defend myself, if you lock me up for that, I will defend myself again, this time against you’

Bitches shouldn’t celebrate!
Canada beat USA with 2-0 to win the Olympic gold medal in the women hockey tournament. As most of us know females shouldn’t play such sports, they ought to stay at home cooking dinner and watching out for their young.
And they certainly shouldn’t drink champagne. Alcohol is bad for you, so the righteous has told us, how dare these women flaunt their drinking habits in public? Just because they won the medal? Please.
I think Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director of the Olympic Games, said it best when he argued that the antics were "not what we want to see." He also said: "If they celebrate in the changing room, that's one thing, but not in public."
Presumably he too would like to see the ladies taking a shower and covering each other with bubbly beverages, but, as said, not in public.
Another thing noticed was that the ladies were smoking cigars, and you don’t need a degree in Freudianism to see what this means.
Surely these so called athletes have forfeited all of their credibility. For God’s sake! There were families watching! Why didn’t they think of the chiiiiiildreeeeen! ?
But at least a statement released late Thursday, Hockey Canada apologized. "The members of Team Canada apologize if their on-ice celebrations, after fans had left the building, have offended anyone," the statement said.
Damn right you offended us. Drinking, smoking, smiling and being happy. Who the hell do you think you are?
The Virtuous elite know what’s best for us and that certainly do not include alcohol or tobacco – and so I urge the IOC to take immediate steps to ban the ladies from ever playing again.

The US signs are stacking up
Sales of new single-family houses in January 2010 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 309,000, This is -11.2 percent below the revised December rate of 348,000.
Inventories of manufactured durable goods in January, down thirteen consecutive months, decreased $0.1 billion to $302.6 billion. This followed a 0.2 percent December decrease.
US Consumer Confidence have plunged from 56.5 to 46.0. This is the lowest since February 1983. Now this is statistics and as such shouldn’t necessarily be taken for face value, but still… this drop is massive, this is the sort of plunge you aspect to see when news about an appending asteroid is cabled out.
US Shipments of manufactured durable goods in January is down following four consecutive monthly increases (mainly thanks to increases in military spending). It decreased $0.3 billion or 0.2 percent to $180.7 billion.
The number of distressed banks in the U.S. rose to 702 in the fourth quarter of 2009, the highest level in sixteen years. And please remember, 125+ banks have already failed, poff, are gone. And even funnier, the number seems to increase for every quarter.
In the week ending Feb. 20, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims was 496,000, an increase of 22,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 474,000. The 4-week moving average was 473,750, an increase of 6,000 from the previous week's revised average of 467,750. The actual unemployment is today around 20% even though official numbers say 10% and as you can see the numbers are going up.
To all this we can add in calculations from several market economists saying that the US stock exchange is overvalued by as much as 50%. And why not throw in an enormous deficit that is still growing and how the USD is close to crashing as well?
Well, only based on these signs, what conclusion do you draw?
And if yours is the same as mine and you happen to not be an American, do you think you will be excluded from this disaster when the US is the world’s biggest economy and the USD is the world’s reserve currency?
Don’t kid yourself, this is the mother of all disasters and coming generations will look back at this as the greatest of all economic depressions ever seen on this planet.

Greece is screwed
In a very believable move The European Union has shown its righteous wrath by stripping Greece of its vote at a crucial meeting next month, the worst humiliation ever suffered by an EU member state.
The council of EU finance ministers said Athens must comply with austerity demands by March 16 or lose control over its own tax and spend policies altogether. It if fails to do so, the EU will itself impose cuts under the draconian Article 126.9 of the Lisbon Treaty in what would amount to economic suzerainty

Yeah… this will work fine in quenching leftie stone-throwers, conservative nationalists and libertarian freedom lovers across Europe, don’t you think?
Looking around the EU and with this report in mind, soon only the Nordic and central European states will be able to vote, but not very soon thereafter no-one will reach the criteria, what happens then? Will the dictator wannabe Herman van Rompuy be our new savior?
‘Peace in our time’ by my newly shaved arse…

Grimm Reaper threatens penis
In a nursery in Värmland, Sweden, a caretaker got tired of a disabled man who apparently had an untimely ability to wet himself. And so dressed up as the scythe carrying hooded figure, the caretaker threatened to cut off the penis if the disabled continued to piss without permission.
The "Grim Reaper's" macabre threats have not yet been reported to the police although the staff member in question has been served notice.
I feel a bit sorry for the staff member, I mean he used his imagination in order to solve a problem and he didn’t really go Kevorkian on the sorry piss-ant, so what’s the problem? The pay is low, society urges us to get rid of costly elderly and incontinence is a nuisance, and what is a disabled man to do with his dick anyway?
Sure, it is not really a part of the job description to dress up like death and threaten people, but if I was disabled sitting at a home all the time with nothing to do but wet myself, I would probably like the distraction of death, maybe even welcome it.
The "Grim Reaper's" macabre threats have not yet been reported to the police although the staff member in question has been served notice.

Mainstream journalists – Always late
Lately the reporting about the Swedish housing bubble has picked up speed. Suddenly all the news outlets are saying this and that and quoting ‘experts’ who argue that it may burst soon.
IF these idiot reporters had actually worked for a living, they would have “revealed” this news a year ago when anyone not occupied with scratching their belly would have known about this bubble. Since then the central bank and government lending institute have done everything they can to destroy the Swedish economy which include propping up the housing market with rising prices when the prices actually should have gone down.
I’ve seen several bloggers lately saying that the Nordic countries stand on a more solid ground when the worldwide depression soon hits us. Although this may be true, that does not mean we will be okay or manage. One of the main reasons for this is the mentioned bubble.
We will not be okay, we will crash and burn with the rest of them, so to all of you out there; please find that grassy knoll overlooking any number of central bank people walking by…

A glass of Vodka, please.
It seems I’m getting it right once again…
I’ve been saying for close to a decade now that somewhere around the first Q of 2010 the worst depression in human history would be a reality. Although I partly have revised this statement because it seemed that the trickery would work for yet another year or so, I do frantically and very amused grab after my bottle when I hear stuff like this:
US Consumer Confidence have plunged from 56.5 to 46.0. This is the lowest since February 1983. Now this is statistics and as such shouldn’t necessarily be taken for face value, but still… this drop is massive, this is the sort of plunge you aspect to see when news about an appending asteroid is cabled out.
Oh, but wait, this funny little excursion into the world of cornflakes and moldy ‘green shoots’ isn’t all there is.
The number of distressed banks in the U.S. rose to 702 in the fourth quarter, the highest level in sixteen years. And please remember, 120+ banks have already failed, poff, are gone. And even funnier, the number seems to increase for every quarter.
And since we know that the added debts to US last year was equal to about 10% of GDP which temporarily have added to GDP, were is the recovery we hear so much about?
Commercial real-estate has just started to implode, and not only in the US by the way…
US unemployment? Still going up, real figure now up at 20%.
But funniest of all, the real kicker that wakes me up at night laughing like a madman is that there’s no leverage left. They cannot do anything more. The borrowing have hit or is about to hit the ceiling, interest rates have been ridiculously low (in reality ‘0’) for a very long time, there’s no money left to do anything with.
The only thing left is the printing press.
The only thing the Federal Reserve can do now is to print, print and print shitloads of money and then pray that the hundred million or so Americans with guns don’t come after them.
And the Obamination?
Well, he could wave that shiny Nobel Peace Prize on TV and try to hypnotize people that all is well at the same time as more babies, women and entire families are wiped out by the US war-machine in Muslim countries.
This isn’t it, not yet, I am still waiting for that light breeze to knock over the deck of cards the enemy class has stacked up, but surely it cannot be far off…
Tomorrow I’m going to buy 50kg of suger and other useful items soon to be very expensive, what are you going to do?

And so they pull a ray-gun out of their hat
Apparently fusion research is starting to pick off with American scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has seemingly a laser that soon will be used to produce nuclear fusion in a process that could deliver vast amounts of clean, reliable energy in a process fuelled by nothing more than water and the hydrogen that it contains.
Actually fusing hydrogen into helium is said to happen in 2011 or 2012. At this stage the system would be able to deliver 20 times more energy than the laser actually uses. The financial break-even would come in 10 to 12 years when the first laser-powered fusion electricity plant is built.
This fusion technology opens up so many possibilities that even I can look forward to the first human colonies in space during my lifetime. Only to mention one possibility of many.
As I’ve said before this sort of almost free and abundant energy is one of the very few means of breaking free of our current financial dilemma. The only other one is some sort of divine or alien intervention. Thankfully, or sadly, depending on your take on things, it will take too long for any such development to reach far enough and a decade or two (scientist always overestimate their progress) isn’t anywhere near enough time to save our world from total financial collapse.
However, if this news has merits we would have the means to take us out of the depression which creates both possibilities and dangers. A hope for the human race is that we by then have learned the facts, faced up to reality and thrown out all the leftie madness that put us into this mess. If so, most of this century will become the best time ever in human history.

The silence of the sheep’s
Big Maaaa is watching you....
One thing most people don’t understand is how politics and our democratic way of governing work. It is essential that deluded citizens start to recognize the signs, understand the foundation and why a law, no matter how benevolent it may seem at first, always leads to more laws and always leads to unintended consequences.
The lack of awareness in this case is the main reason why the political elite can continue to screw us and it is also one of the major reasons why our economies are going down the crapper.
It almost always starts out innocent. Often enough someone(s) needs to be saved and most of the time it is the Chiiiiiildreeeen who are in trouble.
Take alcohol as one example.
Throughout history countless of regimes have tried to ban, outlaw, tax, regulate and curse the making, selling and drinking of alcohol. Kings have tried it, Pharaohs have tried it, and even during Stalin’s communist terror-regime they tried it. Pretty much every country in the world has tried it, many of them several times over. It has never worked. Never.
One might assume that when a totalitarian state with close to absolute control like the Soviet Union, with an sociopath leader that could kill you for looking at him the wrong way, outlaws something with the threat of Gulag-camps, it could maybe work. It didn’t, in fact Russians drank like never before. Within a couple of years they canceled the law and started government owned distilleries instead…
US of A tried during the prohibition period during which Americans drank more than they’ve ever done before or since.
Both of these examples came with unintended consequences. In Russia people stopped working because getting vodka became harder and took more time. Hundreds of people also were recorded deceased from drinking anything remotely resembling alcohol. In the US It gave birth to the modern mafia, bootleggers became national heroes and the flatulent lifestyle created much more of the social problems the ban was supposed to stop.
People want to drink, why is this so hard to grasp? And we know it can be dangerous, we know it kills brain cells. We’ve known this since the dawn of time.
And what do our bellowed leaders do when these sorts of foolish attempts fail? They instead take action to tax alcohol, supposedly to make it more expensive so we’ll not drink so much. And what do we do? We smuggled it, make it ourselves or take other drugs instead. On which the legislator reacts with harsher punishment for smuggling and by throwing honest people in jail for making moonshine. And so it goes on in a never ending circle of madness.
Why do we let them do this over and over again?
Because of two things.
Firstly the massive bombardment of righteous propaganda. Family rights groups are out campaigning, absolutists accuse any drinker of devilish ways, and child-advocates argue that our Chiiiiiildreeen are far more likely to be abused or manhandled in an alcohol environment. And then it is all fueled by government wanting that extra income and that extra power that comes with regulations.
And secondly we are too complacent. So what if they raise taxes with 0.1%? Does that really matter? Maybe it is okay if they tax vodka more than wine, isn’t vodka more dangerous? And to only allow certain stores to sell alcohol may be a good idea, buying beer at the supermarket will expose the Chiiiiildreeen too early, don’t you think?
But it is here my main point comes in. If they do this once, only once, there’s no stopping them thereafter. After 0.1% comes another 0.1%, and then another. First it was vodka that was dangerous, and then it was cider because cider will attract Chiiiildreeen…
And the possibilities for any legislator are endless. The only hinder is the imagination of the powers that be.
Another example that is popular right now is internet. For many years only the occasional scary story popped up. Often it was some hacker that stole money or run amok within some government system. Sure they were after it from the start, at least comes to porn, but they hadn’t fully understood what this technology could be used for. They didn’t know how big the information-age would become and perhaps even more important, they didn’t know that you could run a business online – taxation possibilities!
But all of a sudden, coincidently coinciding with the emerging of blogs, alternative news and lots of new ways of communicating, they started to really react. Terrorists were common online, of course, and also file-sharers. Terrorists had an uncanny ability to send email to each other, presumably over yahoo or hotmail, and our leaders couldn’t let this slide. File-shares were twice as evil because they shared information they shouldn’t have and facts people shouldn’t know about at the same time as they stole billions upon billions from campaign contributors and future employers of politicians.
However, yet again, it was the Chiiiildreeeen that needed to be saved. Apparently pedophiles, which hardly existed before, came out of the woodwork to bounce upon any poor adolescent stupid enough to sit in front of a screen. Youngster could get drugs; buy alcohol (see above) or make bombs with the information existing online. Oh, so horrible!
With this as background they could impose the first set of laws directed at and specifically adjusted for internet. For whatever reason the already existing legislation, that already covered everything, wasn’t enough. Apparently terrorism, pedophilia and buying illegal substances were legal before they conjured up all these new laws come to internet.
But they soon realized this wasn’t enough. They needed access to all communication, how else could they really monitor all that goes on? So they took another step, and then another. Suddenly everything we do online passes through government supercomputers, new restrictions are imposed almost on a daily basis, and certain sites are being banned. But even this wasn’t enough. Sending thugs to people homes, knocking down their doors and steal all electronic equipment in sight was next. And it is still not enough. We still need to save the Chiiiildreeen, stop terrorists and lock up youngsters that download music.
When do you think it is enough? Do you really think they will stop now or soon? Not a chance.
Next they will go after bloggers and alternative media, which was a part of the plan from the very start. We will see licenses to keep “quality” high, university degree will become necessary to have your own portal, more sites will be banned and planted “evidence” will soon bust people here and there, just to make a totalitarian point.
The consequences of this is, at least in some areas, will be less activity online, fewer internet companies will start and normal law-abiding citizens will once again fill up our jails. We will also see alternatives pop up faster than the legislator can form new laws and as fascism grows, so does the resentment of generations to come.
This is how it works. This is how our democratic system always goes too far, always becomes the opposite of what was intended.
Anything you can think of has gone down the same road.
Do you remember how VAT-taxes were supposed to be temporary at a couple of percentage? How one bank bail-out was only the exception, not the rule? Remember how rent-control was supposed to help the poor but instead lead to less construction and higher rent and so hurts the poor?
And the constant “wars” they fight. Our leaders have declared war on drugs, poverty, inflation, unemployment, deficits and countless other enemies, most of which they themselves are the cause of. Not to mention real wars were they murder Muslims or, sometimes, each other.
Let’s take the war on drugs as example.
Government got it into their heads that drugs are bad for you hence outlawed them. Just as is the case of alcohol it sparked black markets, gave birth to mafias and today drug markets feed most of the terrorist organizations government also have declared war on. Without anti-drug laws most criminal organizations would go bankrupt within days. But instead government send militaries and police out to combat the very people government actually have conjured into existence. In the process the people government says they are out to protect, gets caught in the cross-fire and thousands dies each year because of bad drugs.
Even of you don’t agree fully with my conclusions, you at least need to acknowledge the fact that technology change, new information are revealed and that countries, people and cultures change over time. This also means that laws need to be adjusted, changed or get add-ons. The later is normally the case. They almost never delete a law, they only add to it, make exceptions for it or write another law that surpasses the old one. This is yet another reason why we have so many laws and why not even the most well-read lawyer can know more than a fraction of what’s what.
When you understand this development you’ll be better equipped to handle any propaganda thrown at you, but you’ll also be less inclined to believe anything the elitists tells you. But most importantly, when you fully understand this ongoing and never halting process you will know why our countries are heading for a fall, both financially and politically. Totalitarianism and economic collapse is coming our way, and this is one of the main reasons why.
We can always find reasons for banning, outlawing or taxing things in our surrounding. Did you know that the most dangerous thing in our entire existence is our own homes? It is true. A majority of all rapes, pedo-acts, violent behavior and accidents happens at home. How many don’t die from bunching down stairs? Falling down in the shower? And electrical outlets... oh my…
The truth is that anything and anyone can at any moment kill or hurt us; this is simply a big part of being alive. Deal with it, get over it and if you have any problems cooping, buy some sweet illegal drugs and flutter away for a while.
Poll ended
When will the US economy collapse so not even journalists can lie about it anymore?
Votes:
Turn of 2010/2011 79 (48%)
Summer of 2011 72 (44%)
It would seem that most people agree with the experts and say that US of A can withstand reality for another year or so. I wouldn’t be so sure myself, but it seem likely that they can hold out for while yet so maybe the voters in this case are right.
We’ll see soon…
In the meanwhile I created a new poll to see what country you idiots out there think will collapse next in Europe.
It should be UK, but the trickery that goes on there may keep them above water for a while. Spain is kept alive because of the huge black labor market and because their economy isn’t totally thrashed yet. Italy has been in trouble for so long now that it seems they will never falter. Portugal is in deep trouble and maybe I would put my money on them.
What do you think?

The boring climate question
I’m actually starting to find this manmade global warming hoax a bit boring. Earlier I almost felt like I was alone. Sure there were libertarians; a couple of real scientists and some people that actually surpassed their shoe-size in IQ, but the environment for telling the truth were highly toxic. Anyone saying or arguing against the tricksters was immediately considered to be a fridge element.
So now when so many are jumping onboard and we every day can read and hear about “deniers”, it’s not as much fun anymore. I like being the outsider looking in at the sheople, but a year or two more of this development and I will find myself belonging to the mainstream majority. Huah…
Although I do still have two hilarious things I can amuse myself with.
Firstly I was against this hysteria from the start. I’ve argued against the ozone-layer madness that was supposed to have killed us all by now, and I even remember how the elitists claimed that we were heading for a new ice-age.
The scary scenarios comes and goes, but my voice have always been there as a reasonable rational one saying what’s what. So, yet again, I can say; “I TOLD YOU SO!”
And secondly all of these scams have cost tens of billions and lead to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, and we are still throwing billions around and still murdering poor people because one single car is much worse than starving people. And this is funny shit!
We could have lowered taxes or, in a more leftie way of looking at it, hired more nurses and helped the poor with direct aid, but instead we continue to literarily thrown away and burn money for no reason whatsoever.
Besides, it isn’t over.
Our enemies will continue to milk this scam for as long as they can and the restriction will stay in place no matter what. And the imposed taxes will also stay, because we cannot lower the power of government, no sir.
And sooner or later they will twist the hoax into something new. Maybe they suddenly will find yet another horrible consequence of driving cars, or maybe we need to consider the chiiiiildreeen in some not yet disclosed way.
Most likely, however, they will move on to the next con. Maybe they will go back to the ice-age thing; maybe it will be cosmic rays that will destroy us all. Who knows, but you can be sure the next scare is just around the corner.
Another thing we can be sure of is that you, the sheople out there, you will buy the next one as well, as you always do. Idiots.

Man Bulldozes Home Before Foreclosure Sale
I would have prefered if he had bulldozed the bank or the nearest IRS office, but this is great stuff anyway.
"As far as what the bank is going to get, I plan on giving them back what was on this hill exactly [as] it was. I brought it out of the ground and I plan on putting it back in the ground." // Terry Hoskins
MOSCOW, Oh. -- A Clermont County man does the unthinkable and bulldozes his home rather than face foreclosure.
As a result, he could now face legal action.
A pile of rubble now sits at 2066 Laurel Point Isabella Road in Clermont County.
Two weeks ago, Terry Hoskins of Moscow admitted to taking a bulldozer and tearing it down rather than face foreclosure.
A picture from the Clermont County auditor's Web site shows what it used to look like. It was valued at close to $300,000.
The Clermont County Sheriff's Office says the home was in foreclosure and set for sale on Feb. 23. That date has since been canceled because there is no home to auction.
Hoskins told the Associated Press that he had struggled with River Hills Bank in Clermont County for years and had problems with the Internal Revenue Service.
According to Hoskins, the IRS placed liens on his carpet business and the bank claimed his house as collateral.
That business is set for auction sale on March 2.
Hoskins filed for bankruptcy but decided two weeks ago to tear his house down himself rather than the bank taking it.

On our way down the abyss
Another couple of articles today that illuminate our current financial situation. Although as usual without conclusions or real background information, it is still nice to see someone from the mainstream media, at least indirectly, warning about our impending doom.
The truth is that we’ve reached the end of the line. There are no more trickery, borrowing or printing that can once again inflate the bubbles. This is it. When the depression, that never went away – it is still lurking behind the scenes – hits the world, it will overshadow anything ever seen before.
This time it isn’t only one or two markets, it’s not just inflation or only debt-mountains. No. This time it is all of them and then some.
The welfare state has grown out of control. Socialism have rampaged through the markets, fascism is growing and hindering the last bastions of freedom such as the Internet. But more importantly then any ideological label is that the rich, the powerful, the elitists, the enemy class, have consolidated their power and the oligarchical structure of übermench have gone global.
In reality it isn’t about left VS right anymore. Sure you can find lots of examples of leftie righteousness running amok, but for the most part our market economies are still there. They are overregulated, controlled and taxed beyond belief, but still there and the ones in charge want to keep ‘em there. You see it is the free market or the small portion of capitalism we have that creates value and wealth and if they take that away there’s no-one left to tax or steal from, and you can be damn sure they know it.
So we have a sort of center-left fascist mix we really should give a new name. Maybe ‘Populist Statism’? ‘GramscoFabiaNazism' perhaps?
It is very likely that this way of governing will sooner or later tip over into a more pure socialist or, probably more plausible, fascist order. To a large extent we’re seeing it already.
Even though the Church of Climatology, one of many scams used to further consolidating power and bring forth world governance, has been exposed as the lie that it is, we’re still seeing far gone signs of elitist appreciation of this religion. And even if the public outcry becomes too strong, they can always use that money and those scams to found any number of government policies and departments.
But this post is really about economy, not ideology. It is about facts, not opinion.
In reality the debt accumulation that already several years ago had gone too far, have put a serious dent in the elitist power structure.
The coming years most countries have obligations on top of the already amass debt that corresponds to 300%-400%-500% or more of GDP. This leaves politicians with very little choice. Either cut expenditures or rise taxes, maybe a combination of both. And do you think people will be happy when all the promised welfare checks go away?
Public debts are bad, but private and company debts are also at an all-time high. Remember the ‘Minor Depression’ we had in the 1930’s? Back then, before the crashes, most people didn’t have huge debts and certainly not credit card debts. Most people own their homes, most people worked in producing companies and it was only a couple of main problems that lead up to that petite little thing.
The debts aren’t the only problem though. Debts alone we could handle, it would be tough but doable.
How they’ve yanked up the printing-machines so far would also be manageable, seen as an isolated problem. Inflation will steal more of our actual income and the indirect tax that comes with will further bring power to the enemy class. When I say “so far” you should know that some, if not many, countries will continue to print money as a way of paying off debt. If that is the case, which is very likely, we’re faced with a worse situation. But as said, the inflation problem alone our civilizations would survive.
Power-grabbing scams such as manmade global warming, Tobin-taxation and GDP-trickery we would also be able to cope with. If they were isolated or sole problems.
Even the ever expanding control-grid and the never ending increase in bureaucracy isn’t enough to have us crashing and burning.
And if it was only one or two countries we could handle it, but it’s not, it’s almost all of them. A worldwide problem consistent of many problems. Those mentioned here and many others.
So when we add it altogether and really think about where this is going, how do you think it looks then?
The boat isn’t just sinking, it has already sunk. We’re gobblegobbling on our way down while the band keeps playing and the crew announces that everything is fine. You all keep eating, keep shopping at the promenade and don’t worry about a thing. Nothing to see out the window folks, keep moving. The captain and his marry band of bandits that raided your cabins while you were feasting are however gone. They are still on the surface broadcasting messages of ‘everything is fine’ to the populace down below.
You need to know who to really blame for this. Our elitists will of course conjure up ‘Muslims’, ‘greed’, or any other ‘scape-goat to cover their arses and stay in power. Don’t buy it.
Truth to say, if you really want to know who to blame, you need only to look in a mirror. You voted for them, you wanted it, you said nothing and have done even less.
But you’ve also been fooled.
When the entire spectra of everyone from journalists to big business, from government to scientists, from unions to the biggest banks i.e. the entire enemy class says something and argue for it over decades, you can be partly forgiven for listening.
Schools spitting out mindless automatons and peer-pressure have done the rest.
So when you roam the countryside in the future, looking for food, shelter and work, please listen to what I now say.
Don’t blame us that said this was coming, don’t blame markets or companies in general, don’t blame Muslims, Jews or any other group of people. Put some of that blame on yourself, but as soon as you’ve realized what role you played, put the blame were it really belongs; with banksters, politicians, journalists and all of their direct supporting personnel.
And as said before, when you encounter one of our enemies on your travels, please make sure to bury the corps and mark the ground so the next traveler knows were to stop for a piss and a little jig.
The truth is that we’ve reached the end of the line. There are no more trickery, borrowing or printing that can once again inflate the bubbles. This is it. When the depression, that never went away – it is still lurking behind the scenes – hits the world, it will overshadow anything ever seen before.
This time it isn’t only one or two markets, it’s not just inflation or only debt-mountains. No. This time it is all of them and then some.
The welfare state has grown out of control. Socialism have rampaged through the markets, fascism is growing and hindering the last bastions of freedom such as the Internet. But more importantly then any ideological label is that the rich, the powerful, the elitists, the enemy class, have consolidated their power and the oligarchical structure of übermench have gone global.
In reality it isn’t about left VS right anymore. Sure you can find lots of examples of leftie righteousness running amok, but for the most part our market economies are still there. They are overregulated, controlled and taxed beyond belief, but still there and the ones in charge want to keep ‘em there. You see it is the free market or the small portion of capitalism we have that creates value and wealth and if they take that away there’s no-one left to tax or steal from, and you can be damn sure they know it.
So we have a sort of center-left fascist mix we really should give a new name. Maybe ‘Populist Statism’? ‘GramscoFabiaNazism' perhaps?
It is very likely that this way of governing will sooner or later tip over into a more pure socialist or, probably more plausible, fascist order. To a large extent we’re seeing it already.
Even though the Church of Climatology, one of many scams used to further consolidating power and bring forth world governance, has been exposed as the lie that it is, we’re still seeing far gone signs of elitist appreciation of this religion. And even if the public outcry becomes too strong, they can always use that money and those scams to found any number of government policies and departments.
But this post is really about economy, not ideology. It is about facts, not opinion.
In reality the debt accumulation that already several years ago had gone too far, have put a serious dent in the elitist power structure.
The coming years most countries have obligations on top of the already amass debt that corresponds to 300%-400%-500% or more of GDP. This leaves politicians with very little choice. Either cut expenditures or rise taxes, maybe a combination of both. And do you think people will be happy when all the promised welfare checks go away?
Public debts are bad, but private and company debts are also at an all-time high. Remember the ‘Minor Depression’ we had in the 1930’s? Back then, before the crashes, most people didn’t have huge debts and certainly not credit card debts. Most people own their homes, most people worked in producing companies and it was only a couple of main problems that lead up to that petite little thing.
The debts aren’t the only problem though. Debts alone we could handle, it would be tough but doable.
How they’ve yanked up the printing-machines so far would also be manageable, seen as an isolated problem. Inflation will steal more of our actual income and the indirect tax that comes with will further bring power to the enemy class. When I say “so far” you should know that some, if not many, countries will continue to print money as a way of paying off debt. If that is the case, which is very likely, we’re faced with a worse situation. But as said, the inflation problem alone our civilizations would survive.
Power-grabbing scams such as manmade global warming, Tobin-taxation and GDP-trickery we would also be able to cope with. If they were isolated or sole problems.
Even the ever expanding control-grid and the never ending increase in bureaucracy isn’t enough to have us crashing and burning.
And if it was only one or two countries we could handle it, but it’s not, it’s almost all of them. A worldwide problem consistent of many problems. Those mentioned here and many others.
So when we add it altogether and really think about where this is going, how do you think it looks then?
The boat isn’t just sinking, it has already sunk. We’re gobblegobbling on our way down while the band keeps playing and the crew announces that everything is fine. You all keep eating, keep shopping at the promenade and don’t worry about a thing. Nothing to see out the window folks, keep moving. The captain and his marry band of bandits that raided your cabins while you were feasting are however gone. They are still on the surface broadcasting messages of ‘everything is fine’ to the populace down below.

Environazis and Eugenics
One of the most trusted spokespersons of the Church of Climatology, the Tällberg Foundation, had an article in one of Sweden’s biggest newspapers today. Of course it’s about the need for a new world order. The argument seem to be that since the countries of the world cannot make the right decisions to follow the hoax of manmade global warming we need a world government to usher in some unifying, and forcefully imposed, resolutions.
Did anyone just hear the power turn on in the reeducation camps?
In this article we can read this (My own translation from Swedish):
“Even if 192 nations would agree upon the ‘perfect agreement’ we still miss the authority that comes with economic, law-enforcement and military power that could correct the nations whom for different reasons wouldn’t follow commitments and targets.”
Yeeeaah… okay, sounds nice don’t it? Get into line, or else!
It is hard to make this shit up, but it is not so hard to understand conspiracists when reading sentences like this. World domination is the endgame and the environazis people don’t even try to hide it.
But wait, it gets better.
Even if we ignore other statements in this particular piece about how scientists shouldn’t be allowed to be hired, work for or educate themselves within national boundaries, there are still other fun things about this foundation and their head-boys.
On their website we can read:
“Humankind is overextending earth’s annual biocapacity by 125 percent. Short-term consequences will increase prices for energy, food, water and resources for the ever-growing global population. Long-term consequences could be devastating to all forms of life on the planet.”
There are many other similar statements and it seems that these people argue for population control. They are very concerned about inhabitant’s fornicating too much which apparently could destroy the environment. Too many babies, each one a carbon-monster, may ruin Mother Nature.
Add it all together and the conclusion leaves you with a very scary scenario.
The next step may not be gas chambers, but you don’t need any higher level of imagination to see Chinese-style controls or a worldwide registration agency for anyone wanting children. And if totalitarian ideas like this are allowed to fester and put out in media it is just a matter of time before some maniac takes it to the next level.
And remember, this entire concept is based on the biggest lie ever told; that of manmade global warming. A concept there’s not a single shred of evidence for.
The environazis of the Climate Church are among the scariest people that ever emerged on this planet and if you’re not scared of them then something is very wrong in that head of yours.

It wasn’t me, it was the monkey driving!
In Arizona officials have installed high-speed cameras alongside certain roads.
In Sweden they’ve installed these things for the second time running. The first time, a couple of decades ago, it didn’t work out so well since people blasted them into pieces or attacked them with blunt instruments. But the elitists will not halt and now we can see those things pretty much everywhere. Every time I see one I wish I had one of those James Bond cars with built-in rockets.
Anyway, since the Grand Canyon State began enforcing speed limits with roadside cameras, motorists are raging against the machines: They have blocked out the lenses with Post-it notes or Silly String. During the Christmas holidays, they covered the cameras with boxes, complete with wrapping paper. One dissenting citizen went after a camera with a pick ax.
Surprisingly the authorities have admitted that the cameras were thought of as a revenue generator, expected to bring in more than $90 million in the first fiscal year of operation. This is something Swedish politicians never would admit - it’s all about the Chiiiiildreeeeen, not money...
My hero of this story is Dave VonTesmar, who has achieved some fame through his efforts to fight the tickets with a monkey mask. Allegedly sped past the cameras at least 40 times
His white station wagon is equipped with various rubber disguises, including the famous monkey mask, a Frankenstein, koala, panda bear and a ghost mask that glows in the dark.
I suggest people start booby trapping these things so whenever a official tries to replace a broken one or check it for some reason, it blows up.

Thieving soul-killing bastards
The Moderates (the supposed ‘conservative’ ruling party in Sweden) has been rocked by lots of scandals lately. Mostly it has to do with certain individuals paying for other peoples membership-fees in a way of getting votes in internal elections for the lists to parliament.
For me this isn’t news, and as the lack of bashing from political adversaries tells us; this sort of thing goes on all around. I have lots of examples of the same trickery from my time within politics, but basically this is how the game is played. People get rallied together to vote in a certain way, bribes are paid, promises handed out and one position is sold in exchange for another position. As example if one politician gets elected he will then hire some of his friends that helped with the trickery.
All the political parties do it, and for some officials it is the only way of getting elected.
In other words it’s hardly shocking or surprising and anyone out there raising an eyebrow is simply a fool for not knowing this sooner.
However, today I read something in connection to this mass of scandals that actually did shake and upset me a little.
Apparently the same party have lend out a million to a member, playing bank, at a very low interest rate. The lender, a politician with very high salary, had been handling his finances as uselessly as the government govern Sweden. And so he’s no longer able to borrow from any normal lending institute. But borrowing from the party were he’s member seems okay.
Now, this isn’t really the thing that should upset anyone, if it weren’t for the fact that most of that money is collected from the tax payers. You see in Sweden the political elite have decided that in order to have ‘democracy’ the political parties need contributions from the treasury. Of course only the few political parties already in power get money, you need to climb over a certain threshold first, effectively keeping any pesky newcomers outside with much less cash.
So when one of their own mismanages his obligations he can apparently apply for a loan within the elitist fun-club, getting his misty and dirty hands wrapped around YOUR MONEY!
But you ordinary Joe’s out there, you need to go to a bank were you’ll get screwed by con-artists because your cash flow is so low because of too high taxes and too many regulations.
Isn’t it time to get that pitchfork yet?

The Gorgon trap
UK retail sales volumes fell 1.8% in January. The fall was more than three times worse than analysts had predicted. Cornflake economists got it wrong? No way…
This at the same time as the number of people claiming unemployment benefit has hit its highest level since 1997 and there are now a total of 8 million economically inactive people of working age – the highest number on record.
Add to this the news that for the first time ever a UK government needed to borrow money in January with an overdrawn by £4.339 billion last, compared with a surplus of £5.3 billion in January last year, and way short of the £2.8 billion surplus that cornflake economists had expected. Wrong again? Oh no, how can that be..?
About a month ago I said that the signs were pointing to an all-out collapse within a year (although I've argued for Mars/April 2010 for many years), these numbers seem to point to an earlier date, at least for UK.
If we also check private debt numbers, which are at an all time high, and take a look at the housing market UK cannot be more than a couple of bad company reports away from crashing and burning.
As mentioned before the flickering madman and his gorgonites have utterly destroyed Britain and will go down in human history as one of the worst governments ever seen.

Airline of doom – the safer way of flying, and other cautionary tales
At any normal airport we have body scanners, dozens of controls, pictures taken over and over again. There are guards everywhere, cameras covering every crack and safety measures into the absurd. Still, we know terrorists will bypass any security features and more planes will get hijacked. No matter how much they try, there’s always a way to blow up a plane.
Personally I rather fly with a company that allows for guns, bombs and terrorists onboard, just so I can skip all the unnecessary crap that comes with every flight. And if you have a whole plane filled with armed people, they will all carefully watch each other since if one starts shooting everyone would die. The pilot could have a bomb under his seat so if anyone tries to commandeer the flight, it blows up. On such a flight I would feel pretty secure, most likely sleep like a baby throughout the entire voyage.
Speaking of, I want to see a disgruntled train-driver go off the deep end. We’ve seen it at the movies, but strangely not in real life yet.
Where are the original terrorists?
Why not hijack a supertanker and drive it with full speed into a New York harbor? Why does it only need to be planes?
How about inducing a volcano eruption? Why not build a death-ray? Surely there are some super villain wannabees out there?
What I’m trying to say is that planes are so yesterday. Why insist on spoiling the fun for the flying when there are so many other ways of getting a point through. Terrorists need to man up, get some perspectives and use their imagination. How else can we stop travelling altogether?

The countdown continues
The Gorgon of UK has really dragged his serfs towards absolute despair. In Britain January is the month when corporations make a large part of their tax payments. Historically speaking the government has never needed to borrow any money this month. Never. That is, until now.
I think it is safe to say that the one-eyed Scotsman and his gorgonites are the frontrunners comes to which government is the worst in modern history.
I got a job-offer the other day from a company in southern England. Good pay and a decent position. Needless to say, I turned it down. When that shit hits the famous fan very soon, I don’t wanna live out on those isles.
But luckily for UK, they aren’t alone...
I’ve already covered most of the industrialized world and pointed out the fault, cracks and deteriorating madness that makes up the greatest depression that ever hit humankind. But it is fun with a couple of updates.
Apparently only 21% of US voters believe that the federal government enjoys the consent of the governed. If we compare this with the estimated number of people that supported the British king during the war for independence, which was around 20%, we find a very nice correlation. You think Joe Stack was an exception? Think again.
Another document seems to have come forward yet again claiming the Saudi’s are giving Israeli fighter-jets and bombers free passage through their air-space. Presumably for strikes into Iran. Oil is still pretty low at $78 a barrel, but how long will that last if the Israeli/US/Iran scenario plays out?
In Africa the problems continue. As stated before tens of millions of people in the South and Eastern parts of the ‘dark’ continent are balancing on that thin line between being alive and utter starvation.
We’ve had a coup in Niger, we have political problems in Kenya, and the great economic spokesperson of the western world, Robert Mugabe, is at it again. This time around he wants to sell diamonds to whomever and whenever he wants, apparently making certain people a tad upset.
In Chad inflation is running amok and strikes are on the rise. In the Democratic Republic of Congo inter-ethnic clashes continues and in several districts schools haven’t been open for close to a year.
And in this mess (and much more, takes many pages to describe it all) a new food security update which focused on some southern African countries, is stating that food prices have risen rapidly and are still climbing in several countries.
Isn’t the world a fun place?

Banned again…
Getting banned by mainstream media again, at least in Sweden. I also noticed a sudden drop on search-engines...
Oh my, didn’t know this Texas thingy was that bad. Not a popular thing among the elitists as it seems…
UPPDATE: Apparently I'm back... strange. :)

Joe Stack’s letter Part II
The conspiracies are running wild.
Mr. Stack was against taxes; wouldn’t that make all Tea Party people and libertarians into terrorists?
A false flag attack to further impose restrictions on the American populace?
Was he actually hired by the Israelis?
I have no idea, but whether or not any of this is true (which is probably not the case) the government will seize this opportunity either way. As I said, here comes police state US!

Joe Stack's letter
Since FBI closed down the site I hereby give you the letter in full.
If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was “no taxation without representation”. I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”, traitor and worse.
While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say.
Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.
And justice? You’ve got to be kidding!
How can any rational individual explain that white elephant conundrum in the middle of our tax system and, indeed, our entire legal system? Here we have a system that is, by far, too complicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand. Yet, it mercilessly “holds accountable” its victims, claiming that they’re responsible for fully complying with laws not even the experts understand. The law “requires” a signature on the bottom of a tax filing; yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing; if that’s not “duress” than what is. If this is not the measure of a totalitarian regime, nothing is.
How did I get here?
My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ‘80s. Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school, somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd, pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English. Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy. We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done.
The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much-needed re-evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living. However, this is where I learned that there are two “interpretations” for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country.
That little lesson in patriotism cost me $40,000+, 10 years of my life, and set my retirement plans back to 0. It made me realize for the first time that I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and complete lie. It also made me realize, not only how naive I had been, but also the incredible stupidity of the American public; that they buy, hook, line, and sinker, the crap about their “freedom”… and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them.
Before even having to make a shaky recovery from the sting of the first lesson on what justice really means in this country (around 1984 after making my way through engineering school and still another five years of “paying my dues”), I felt I finally had to take a chance of launching my dream of becoming an independent engineer.
On the subjects of engineers and dreams of independence, I should digress somewhat to say that I’m sure that I inherited the fascination for creative problem solving from my father. I realized this at a very young age.
The significance of independence, however, came much later during my early years of college; at the age of 18 or 19 when I was living on my own as student in an apartment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My neighbor was an elderly retired woman (80+ seemed ancient to me at that age) who was the widowed wife of a retired steel worker. Her husband had worked all his life in the steel mills of central Pennsylvania with promises from big business and the union that, for his 30 years of service, he would have a pension and medical care to look forward to in his retirement. Instead he was one of the thousands who got nothing because the incompetent mill management and corrupt union (not to mention the government) raided their pension funds and stole their retirement. All she had was social security to live on.
In retrospect, the situation was laughable because here I was living on peanut butter and bread (or Ritz crackers when I could afford to splurge) for months at a time. When I got to know this poor figure and heard her story I felt worse for her plight than for my own (I, after all, I thought I had everything to in front of me). I was genuinely appalled at one point, as we exchanged stories and commiserated with each other over our situations, when she in her grandmotherly fashion tried to convince me that I would be “healthier” eating cat food (like her) rather than trying to get all my substance from peanut butter and bread. I couldn’t quite go there, but the impression was made. I decided that I didn’t trust big business to take care of me, and that I would take responsibility for my own future and myself.
Return to the early ‘80s, and here I was off to a terrifying start as a ‘wet-behind-the-ears’ contract software engineer... and two years later, thanks to the fine backroom, midnight effort by the sleazy executives of Arthur Andersen (the very same folks who later brought us Enron and other such calamities) and an equally sleazy New York Senator (Patrick Moynihan), we saw the passage of 1986 tax reform act with its section 1706.
For you who are unfamiliar, here is the core text of the IRS Section 1706, defining the treatment of workers (such as contract engineers) for tax purposes. Visit this link for a conference committee report (http://www.synergistech.com/1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport) regarding the intended interpretation of Section 1706 and the relevant parts of Section 530, as amended. For information on how these laws affect technical services workers and their clients, read our discussion here (http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml).
SEC. 1706. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TECHNICAL PERSONNEL.
(a) IN GENERAL - Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection:
(d) EXCEPTION. - This section shall not apply in the case of an individual who pursuant to an arrangement between the taxpayer and another person, provides services for such other person as an engineer, designer, drafter, computer programmer, systems analyst, or other similarly skilled worker engaged in a similar line of work.
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE. - The amendment made by this section shall apply to remuneration paid and services rendered after December 31, 1986.
Note:
· "another person" is the client in the traditional job-shop relationship.
· "taxpayer" is the recruiter, broker, agency, or job shop.
· "individual", "employee", or "worker" is you.
Admittedly, you need to read the treatment to understand what it is saying but it’s not very complicated. The bottom line is that they may as well have put my name right in the text of section (d). Moreover, they could only have been more blunt if they would have came out and directly declared me a criminal and non-citizen slave. Twenty years later, I still can’t believe my eyes.
During 1987, I spent close to $5000 of my ‘pocket change’, and at least 1000 hours of my time writing, printing, and mailing to any senator, congressman, governor, or slug that might listen; none did, and they universally treated me as if I was wasting their time. I spent countless hours on the L.A. freeways driving to meetings and any and all of the disorganized professional groups who were attempting to mount a campaign against this atrocity. This, only to discover that our efforts were being easily derailed by a few moles from the brokers who were just beginning to enjoy the windfall from the new declaration of their “freedom”. Oh, and don’t forget, for all of the time I was spending on this, I was loosing income that I couldn’t bill clients.
After months of struggling it had clearly gotten to be a futile exercise. The best we could get for all of our trouble is a pronouncement from an IRS mouthpiece that they weren’t going to enforce that provision (read harass engineers and scientists). This immediately proved to be a lie, and the mere existence of the regulation began to have its impact on my bottom line; this, of course, was the intended effect.
Again, rewind my retirement plans back to 0 and shift them into idle. If I had any sense, I clearly should have left abandoned engineering and never looked back.
Instead I got busy working 100-hour workweeks. Then came the L.A. depression of the early 1990s. Our leaders decided that they didn’t need the all of those extra Air Force bases they had in Southern California, so they were closed; just like that. The result was economic devastation in the region that rivaled the widely publicized Texas S&L fiasco. However, because the government caused it, no one gave a shit about all of the young families who lost their homes or street after street of boarded up houses abandoned to the wealthy loan companies who received government funds to “shore up” their windfall. Again, I lost my retirement.
Years later, after weathering a divorce and the constant struggle trying to build some momentum with my business, I find myself once again beginning to finally pick up some speed. Then came the .COM bust and the 911 nightmare. Our leaders decided that all aircraft were grounded for what seemed like an eternity; and long after that, ‘special’ facilities like San Francisco were on security alert for months. This made access to my customers prohibitively expensive. Ironically, after what they had done the Government came to the aid of the airlines with billions of our tax dollars … as usual they left me to rot and die while they bailed out their rich, incompetent cronies WITH MY MONEY! After these events, there went my business but not quite yet all of my retirement and savings.
By this time, I’m thinking that it might be good for a change. Bye to California, I’ll try Austin for a while. So I moved, only to find out that this is a place with a highly inflated sense of self-importance and where damn little real engineering work is done. I’ve never experienced such a hard time finding work. The rates are 1/3 of what I was earning before the crash, because pay rates here are fixed by the three or four large companies in the area who are in collusion to drive down prices and wages… and this happens because the justice department is all on the take and doesn’t give a fuck about serving anyone or anything but themselves and their rich buddies.
To survive, I was forced to cannibalize my savings and retirement, the last of which was a small IRA. This came in a year with mammoth expenses and not a single dollar of income. I filed no return that year thinking that because I didn’t have any income there was no need. The sleazy government decided that they disagreed. But they didn’t notify me in time for me to launch a legal objection so when I attempted to get a protest filed with the court I was told I was no longer entitled to due process because the time to file ran out. Bend over for another $10,000 helping of justice.
So now we come to the present. After my experience with the CPA world, following the business crash I swore that I’d never enter another accountant’s office again. But here I am with a new marriage and a boatload of undocumented income, not to mention an expensive new business asset, a piano, which I had no idea how to handle. After considerable thought I decided that it would be irresponsible NOT to get professional help; a very big mistake.
When we received the forms back I was very optimistic that they were in order. I had taken all of the years information to Bill Ross, and he came back with results very similar to what I was expecting. Except that he had neglected to include the contents of Sheryl’s unreported income; $12,700 worth of it. To make matters worse, Ross knew all along this was missing and I didn’t have a clue until he pointed it out in the middle of the audit. By that time it had become brutally evident that he was representing himself and not me.
This left me stuck in the middle of this disaster trying to defend transactions that have no relationship to anything tax-related (at least the tax-related transactions were poorly documented). Things I never knew anything about and things my wife had no clue would ever matter to anyone. The end result is… well, just look around.
I remember reading about the stock market crash before the “great” depression and how there were wealthy bankers and businessmen jumping out of windows when they realized they screwed up and lost everything. Isn’t it ironic how far we’ve come in 60 years in this country that they now know how to fix that little economic problem; they just steal from the middle class (who doesn’t have any say in it, elections are a joke) to cover their asses and it’s “business-as-usual”. Now when the wealthy fuck up, the poor get to die for the mistakes… isn’t that a clever, tidy solution.
As government agencies go, the FAA is often justifiably referred to as a tombstone agency, though they are hardly alone. The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government. Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws.
I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.
I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along.
I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

Joe Stack (1956-2010)

If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was “no taxation without representation”. I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”, traitor and worse.
While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say.
Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.
And justice? You’ve got to be kidding!
How can any rational individual explain that white elephant conundrum in the middle of our tax system and, indeed, our entire legal system? Here we have a system that is, by far, too complicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand. Yet, it mercilessly “holds accountable” its victims, claiming that they’re responsible for fully complying with laws not even the experts understand. The law “requires” a signature on the bottom of a tax filing; yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing; if that’s not “duress” than what is. If this is not the measure of a totalitarian regime, nothing is.
How did I get here?
My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ‘80s. Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school, somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd, pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English. Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy. We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done.
The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much-needed re-evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living. However, this is where I learned that there are two “interpretations” for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country.
That little lesson in patriotism cost me $40,000+, 10 years of my life, and set my retirement plans back to 0. It made me realize for the first time that I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and complete lie. It also made me realize, not only how naive I had been, but also the incredible stupidity of the American public; that they buy, hook, line, and sinker, the crap about their “freedom”… and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them.
Before even having to make a shaky recovery from the sting of the first lesson on what justice really means in this country (around 1984 after making my way through engineering school and still another five years of “paying my dues”), I felt I finally had to take a chance of launching my dream of becoming an independent engineer.
On the subjects of engineers and dreams of independence, I should digress somewhat to say that I’m sure that I inherited the fascination for creative problem solving from my father. I realized this at a very young age.
The significance of independence, however, came much later during my early years of college; at the age of 18 or 19 when I was living on my own as student in an apartment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My neighbor was an elderly retired woman (80+ seemed ancient to me at that age) who was the widowed wife of a retired steel worker.

Instead he was one of the thousands who got nothing because the incompetent mill management and corrupt union (not to mention the government) raided their pension funds and stole their retirement. All she had was social security to live on.
In retrospect, the situation was laughable because here I was living on peanut butter and bread (or Ritz crackers when I could afford to splurge) for months at a time. When I got to know this poor figure and heard her story I felt worse for her plight than for my own (I, after all, I thought I had everything to in front of me). I was genuinely appalled at one point, as we exchanged stories and commiserated with each other over our situations, when she in her grandmotherly fashion tried to convince me that I would be “healthier” eating cat food (like her) rather than trying to get all my substance from peanut butter and bread.

Suicide man targets IRS!
The Market Ticker has already revealed the latest news-scam with the plane crashing into an office-building in Austin, Texas. I’ve also seen online how people already are saluting this man as a true American hero.
I haven’t really confirmed all of this yet, but if it is true, Mr Joe Stack have set an example. To all of you out there planning to go on a shooting-spree or are about to snap, please target those who actually are responsible for our current dilemma. Innocent people shouldn’t be your target, public officials however…
The Market Ticker here
READ: Joe Stack Suicide Note
UPDATE: FBI have apparently closed down the suicide note site... They can do that you know... Freedom of Internet? yeah, right...
Read the letter here instead
The sad thing is that this probably becomes yet another reason for the American government to strike down on their own people. Police state – here USA comes!
