Since I realized how things really work and how horrid things really are I have felt a sort of kinsmanship with socialists. I’m not taking about the “pretend-left” like labour or social-democrats; those are more of the fascist persuasion. The ones I’m referring to is those that actually believe in socialism.
Socialism is here referring to as a collective name for socialists/communists. Also this is a generalisation and is not always true for either side.
Let me take some examples.
The financial and banking elite are all about fraud and looting.
This is a concept I fully share with socialists. Almost all people that believe in NWO and detest the Bilderberg Group are either libertarians or socialists. The ones hardest criticizing fraudulent banks and finance institutes that, again and again, just take the hard working mans earnings and fill their own pockets, are libertarians. But the ones really loudly demonstrating and angry trash windows and really take to the street, of mainly the same reason, are the socialists. However, where socialists see capitalism and a neoliberal order creating the problems, libertarians see socialism and collectivism as being at fault. We draw different conclusion about the same phenomena, something that is a constant factor throughout.
In a way, neither side is the right here. With laws, constant government interventions, central banks, customs and so forth no one with any knowledge about capitalism can mention this world or any country on the planet as being capitalist. But also, since ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods is not completely in the hands of “the people”, and since we actually have a so so market economy; one cannot really refer to it as socialism either. To name the state of our world ‘fascist’ would be a simple word to use and it is not far from the truth, but that’s not really correct. Statism is probably the best word of choice in lack of a better one. Both fascism and statism sort of implies a closer relationship with socialism then with libertarianism, and I would argue that is correct, although I suspect a socialist might differ.
People are unnecessarily starving and injustice can be found everywhere
Also a statement that both socialists and libertarians can put their hank-cock under. Both sides sees all those horrifying things that goes on in the world where females and gays get stoned to death for expressing themselves, where people starve by the tens of millions, where war rages on despite us being “civilized”, where politicians say one thing and does another, and where there is a huge inequality in regards to money and power. Again, we see the same problem and react to them, but again we also draw different conclusions about the fault and solutions, mainly from the same notions as mentioned above. Here I also think there is an additional dissimilar way of looking at things. Where socialists mainly “think” with their hearts and react instinctively, libertarians rather use rational and a more intellectual approach. Basically a socialist screams while a libertarian shows graphs, a socialist becomes angry whereas a libertarian sighs while trying to explain how things work.
Religion is the opiate of the people
This famous Karl Marx quotation is also something that both sides, generally speaking, agree upon. There are religious folk in both camps, but they are a minority and I would say that this quote is not only in regards to religion per say but rather a forbearing or warning about something that can put a veil over our lives and hide the truth of things. Religion is not necessary malevolent by nature, one can find good things or good thoughts in all religions, but religion might cover or hide science and can even be used as a means to control the populace, something that history shows us. Here I think the agreement might be bigger than above with one small exception; libertarians regard religion as a very collectivistic phenomenon while socialist rather sees religion as a means for the ruling elite to conform and control us.
The repeating recessions will never end with the current system of governing
In a way this topic has already been mentioned, but in our day and age this needs to be addressed a bit more direct. Socialist’s sees overproductions and the constant chase for profits as something that always will create repeated downturns in an economy. Libertarians sort of agree with this, but don’t see the chase for profits as something bad; on the contrary, we regard it as a virtue. However, just as socialists, libertarians acknowledge the profiteers as one of the main reasons for recessions. This is because the mixed system - or statism - that exists doesn’t let the free market roam free. Instead we get certain financial institutes, families or organisations that can take advantage of governments and our societies structure in a way that promotes “dictatorship” (=monopoly) within some sectors. As always libertarians regard governments, laws and the lack of freedom as the main cause of this money- and power-accumulation. If capitalism really got to exist, none of this would happen since there is always competition within the capitalist system. Socialists, however, wants to expand government and hand over everything to the people with a notion of that this would eliminate the worst elements and divide riches in a fair way.
Conclusion and a plead
I believe that socialists don’t know what capitalism really is and that they ignore the most important factor of all; the individual. If they really knew and started to acknowledge individual and intellectual freedom, they would very soon be entitling themselves as libertarians. Of course socialists will probably argue the opposite and maybe people, from either side, won’t agree with my conclusions.
I could go on for a long time but on almost every point I see more likenesses than differences, at least until one starts to talk about the solution. One might argue that similarities can be seen between all forms of ideology, but then you missed the real point. Socialist and libertarians are similar, not only do we see the same problems or that we, in many cases, draw the same conclusion, but we also have the very notion of revolution in our blood. Both want to stick it to the man and fight the power. Of course sometimes having differences in opinions about who the “man” is, but not always, and that is not an issue in regards to what I’m about to suggest.
We should cooperate. Neither side have the manpower or anything else needed to overthrow the current system and neither side can hope of persuade enough people to really make a difference.
So here is my suggestion; we rebel, together. A massive upraising where we throw out all politicians and those in power, then we simply divide the country/ies (maybe even divide continents) in some reasonable way. Socialists can live within their fluffy pink society and libertarians can really test and live in a capitalist country.
The main problem is that both sides will regard the other with great suspicion and both sides see the other as a warmongering side. So how about this; we keep peace and respect for each other until we have developed technology enough so we can conquer other planets and then the only question becomes in which direction our ships should go. A roll of the dice?

Why do journalists ignore the depression?
I have pondered on this issue for a long while now since journalists in any normal case jumps on the slightest chance of negative news. To read a newspaper or watch the latest News is a trip into war, pestilence, rapes, students failing in school, murderess storms/hurricanes, global warming, cancer, AIDS, burning cars and lots of other hilarious stuff. Although there sometimes is good news, mainly from the world of celebrities, one really needs to search for it. So how come when history’s worst disaster is lurking around the corner they write and say nothing?
Is there so little knowledge?
Does good news about finance actually sell better?
Are journalists so in the hands of the ruling elite?
Is there some truth behind the New World Order conspiracy?
All of the above?
I tend to lean towards the last one. I know journalists are lazy fools, I also know that journalists, for the most part, tend to write and say that what those in power want. And it is hard to believe that so many Banksters and politicians are so oblivious to what really goes on in the world.
There is no light in the tunnel right now; there are no “green shoots”. All what we are seeing are fictive numbers, pure lies in some cases (read: banks), and highly overvalued stock-markets. Deficits keep growing; money printing machines all over the world are generating more warmth than a nuclear plant, the numbers are still going down and there are more markets about to collapse in the US. And, worst of all, no one, not a single country, has done anything to correct the initial problems that created the depression in the first place. The question isn’t “if” it’s going to get a lot worse, the question is when and how long it will last. As one of those that actually predicted this “recession” and so far haven’t missed a single thing in this mess, I see a very dire future. In other words, when journalists keep quoting some of the worst financial institutes in this world and people that had no clue before or during this crisis, don’t listen.
The worst financial disaster in human history is coming and you better prepare for it.

Another politically correct move
In the wake of anger from femiNazis and other people that cannot read, Hillegren has now been moved from sex-crimes and since he will retire next year this was seemingly decided even before this debacle.
From a “political” standpoint this is a good move in the way that some voices will go silence and, no matter if he was correct or not, his position as prosecutor was damaged. However, this also means that the politically correct can claim another “victory” that will further deteriorate Swedish society. I suspect that some of these spokespersons of arbitrary law and fascist ways will rejoice and get some wind in their sails and consequently will go on the offensive against other prosecutors and the lawmakers in order to coerce further stupidities.
Hillegren, although in desperate need of some debate advice, is one of very few so so sound voices debating the Swedish juridical system and I hope when he retires that his pen get a bit stiffer and better formulated and that he keeps at it. The politically correct main claim a sort of “victory” from this decision, but freedom of speech and justice is the losers. And someone wondered why I left my birth nation…
In the meanwhile the depression keeps gaining momentum and I do not feel safe out on the British Isles anymore. Time to find that island far away from all this madness and go fish while femiNazis, politicians, Banksters and other idiots destroy the world.

Zombies exists everywhere
If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively. That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada. They say only frequent counter-attacks with increasing force would eradicate the fictional creatures.
Me, I don’t understand what they mean with “fictional creatures”, zombies do exists. Although not eating the flesh of the living, not yet anyway, people of this world are mindless drones that saunter around without seeing what’s right in front of them and without listening to reason. Almost every human on this planet are slow-moving dim-witted creatures with no concept of basic math and with no respect for their fellow man. So the only thing really missing is connoisseurs of the cannibalistic persuasion.
Banksters and fraudulent politicians are robbing us, at gunpoint, in broad daylight, and no one says a pip. People starve by the millions despite us having the means and resources to feed everyone. Every day fascist laws increase regarding our personal lives and internet. Journalists keep feeding us lies, and the only ones getting invited to interviews to talk about how to fix problems are the same people that created the problems in the first place. And what do people do? They lull towards work (or live on welfare), constantly walking in that wheel, never complaining. The only ones complaining are communists and anarchists that want more autocracy and more of the same problem, implicitly arguing for that missing piece of cannibalism.
I have always argued that people are idiots, but zombies are even closer to the truth. Zombies are what you are and this world is going towards hell because of it.

The rape debate rages on
In Sweden a highly infected debate about rape, what constitutes as rape and what the penalties should be is well on the way on becoming one of this years main topics. Today the man in centre of this debate, Rolf Hillegren, has an article in one of Sweden’s newspapers explaining his position.
Among other things he argues around a theoretical example where a woman and man has regular sexual relationship, but one day the female goes to the police and says that she one night told her man that she didn’t want to have sex, but the man did her anyway during which she remained passive. Hillegren claims that this should not be constituted as rape and that there is no reason for having an additional law or interpretation of the law in order to be able to convict the man in this example. In this he is, of course, completely accurate in his judgement. This cannot, no matter if you look at it from a moral, juridical or from an intellectual standpoint, be the same as rape. Consequently it cannot either be punishable according to the same law.
However, he sort of, again, steps into it. This because he argues (at least that’s how one can interpret it) that the rule of consent isn’t applicable according to any kind of law, which is not true. Even if we ignore statutory rape wherein a minor, in dependent position, can be taken advantage of an elder, there is still other situations where force isn’t necessarily needed. Imagine a situation where one woman is surrounded by 4 men, she knows they are going to rape her, no matter what she does. She might not even say no or resists at all, what’s the point? And since the government conveniently have outlaw self-defence she is at the mercy of those men and gets raped. This is a situation Hillegren avoids taking into account and, of course, this will be one of the points his adversaries will jump at. I don’t think he really argues that this is not rape, but if one read his article this can be read into it and, of course, many will do just that. However, he also has a point in this regard, only looking at the law. How can you ever prove that a female didn’t want to have groupsex if there is no evidence?
I think this entire situation is bad for the entire justice situation in Sweden. On one side we have rabid feminist ass-holes that believe that all men are evil incarnated and that even sex itself is an abomination hence a “no” in any form always means that the man is a rapists. On the other side we have a dogmatic lawman that only looks at the law and what can be proven according to that law. Although the debate is in the table, which is good, the arguments thrown around are, for the most part, about the wrong things. What should be debated is the law itself, and the potential punishments in addition to a discussion about self-defence and how to reduce the number of rapes. Everything about rape and the law in this regard is very hard to discuss because there is so much feelings involved.
I agree with Hillegren on his basic points, that his fictive scenario cannot be construed as rape and IF a situation like that is punishable, it is not anywhere near the levels of “real rape”. I also agree with the adjustments in the law and that our courts cannot only listen to statements and words, they need to have evidence. However, the discussion should really be expanded and involve more of reality, not just the law as it is or about fictive patriarch structures.
The current law is wrong in the sense that any “ordinary” rapists almost always get around 2-2,5 years in prison if convicted, and since almost no one sits their entire jail-time he (or she) will be released before that time has passed. Also the retribution that should be paid to the victim is always paid by the state, which is nonsense. We should never let a rapist out of jail until that person has paid his dues. This is ridiculous and the jail-time for violating someone in this manor should rend at least ten times that sentence, preferably much more. I do believe in letting people, within reason, have another chance, also regarding such idiots as rapists. However, a repeated offender should never be let out or, rather, be executed.
Also, we need to debate and really change the law so people actually can defend themselves. How can a 90lbs female defend herself against a 200lbs man? With a couple of 9mm bullets.

Madness, complete and utter madness
JPMorgan got a bail-out of $25 billion from the government despite showing huge profits before and after that additional money and then they pay those $25 billion back just a couple months later. In March JPMorgan announced plans to spend $138 million for swank corporate jets and a new hangar. Unt now JPMorgan is lending the bankrupt state of California $1.5 billion. Does anyone else smell a rotten and decapitated fish?
On a similar note General Motors (GM), near bankruptcy just months ago, saved by hundreds of billions of indebt money, announced yesterday that they plan to boost production at several of its factories because of higher sales from the government's ``cash for clunkers'' programme – you know, that temporary thingy that destroys useful cars and increase US debt.
US citizens are moving along on that high-way towards fascist hell in a car they paid for 3 times over and indebted themselves for both personally and through government. This while cities along the road are closing down to save money and other urban areas are turning into ghost towns because no work exists. The prophetic books of Ayn Rand have never shined with such clarity.
This is complete madness and it’s hard to know if one is supposed to cry or buy vodka. US is no more, only lefties hell remains.

Another fantastic sign
So finally some media has picked up this story. This has been mentioned a lot of times by people using their brains.

More fantastic news from US
While the Obamination keep breaking his campaign promisses and is making the Afghan war his own, spending hundreds of billions more (Apparently all those speaches about taking troops home that was the main reason for his election, was just another lie)the fed have run out of money to keep buying treasuries i.e. monetarizing government debt.
Unless Bernanke doesn’t change his mind about stopping at $300 billion, there is just a few billions left to play with. Since Geithner the other day urged to expand government expenditures, I do not see why not Bernanke will not do the same. Especially since the housing market is still dropping. Compared to the same period a year ago, building permits declined 39.4 percent, well below expectations. This isn’t really bad news since people don’t have money to buy homes anyway, but it puts a serious dent in the scheme the Obamination administration has. The inventory of total houses under construction fell to record low 609,000 in July while the total number of permits authorized but not yet started also hit a record low at 102,300.
Now here you also need to know that the main reason the American government can plot about their little stimuli and bail-outs is China, whom, tada! Since a couple of months back is a net seller of U.S. Treasuries. So when that unemployment keep rising, debt is sky-high, the treasury is insolvent and there is nothing left to take from and the main lender is starting to slowly move away, what’s left? Only one last alternative in the world of cornflakes and Keynesianism; that oh so funny Guttenberg invention. Well, today it’s a computer and all you need to do is press a couple of buttons and a couple of other trillions pops up, but you get the idea. So all those real economists (and yours truly) that have been warning about hyperinflation seem to have been, again, spot on.
Oh, I cannot wait for this debacle.

You are going to die! Part XXIX
Even if you avoid government, religion, pestilence, old age and move out of your own home – the things that are most likely to kill you – you still run a very likely chance of getting killed by something else. I’m not referring to animals nibbling on your flesh, getting bitten by a snake or one of those retched Kangaroos kicking you to death, no, there are far more sneakier enemies to watch out for.
One thing to be careful about is pancakes. Earlier this year (2009) a winner of a pancake-eating contest dropped dead after gorging himself on 43 of the cream and banana stuffed desserts. Boris Isayev, 48, from west Russia, collapsed to his knees and died on stage after stuffing himself with pancakes in a competition to mark the end of the region’s ‘Pancake Week’."He had really enjoyed the pancakes but then he started foaming at the mouth and went down like a sack of stones," one witness said. Witnesses apparently described Isayev as “the most active participant in the contest" adding that he "ate all the types of pancakes on offer and won fairly.” There is also more stories about people choking and dying from eating pancakes so this is not really a dish you wanna take lightly.
It is also scientifically proven that pancakes made from a mix that has sat around too long to suffer a potentially fatal anaphylactic reaction to the molds that have grown therein. One such case is a 19-year-old in Charleston, South Carolina, that collapsed in cardiopulmonary arrest and died. The same thing goes for everything you put on pancakes. Syrup, sugar and such can not only cause obesity, it might also cause similar reaction like the one told above. Although neither of this is unlikely to happen if you do not suffer from allergies, it’s yet other examples of the murderess pancake.
Another deadly menace is the Star Fruit. Star fruit is a decorative and refreshing treat and, for most of us, a healthy delicacy. But for some people with impaired kidney function, the star fruit (also known as carambola) can be deadly. Researchers from Brazil and Taiwan are studying why star fruit causes serious life-threatening reactions to some kidney patients. Apparently this fiend kills several people each year, in Brazil alone.
And does you stomach fill with gas when you eat an apple? When you eat a banana does your mouth become itchy? Does your throat swell when you eat raw peaches? When you eat raw pineapple does your throat burn or do you break out in hives? If you experience any of these conditions, you may suffer from Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) also known as pollen-food syndrome. The most severe reactions can trigger asthma or anaphylaxis shock.
And speaking of bananas, those things contain potassium and too much potassium can cause arrhythmias (heart not beating properly). This has happened before and it will happen again, are you really watching out for those bananas?
There are a lot of things out there that might kill you; one of them will succeed sooner or later. It is just a matter of time.

And speaking of bananas, those things contain potassium and too much potassium can cause arrhythmias (heart not beating properly). This has happened before and it will happen again, are you really watching out for those bananas?
There are a lot of things out there that might kill you; one of them will succeed sooner or later. It is just a matter of time.
How is the market (world) doing?
I have been looking at the stock market recently. I’m no real expert on stock markets, but since I know that they are highly overvalued at the moment it is fun to watch those graphs go up and down. Sooner or later a crash or at least a long downturn will emerge and while nibbling on some popcorn those graphs are almost like a video game.
Yesterday, 17th Aug 2009, Shares worldwide fell which some investors and economists worried feared that the recent stock market rally has come to an end. London's benchmark share index, the FTSE 100, dipped 68.96 points or 1.5pc to 4,645.01. European and Asian exchanges recorded similar drops. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.8pc at 9158.09. But despite this drop I do not really believe that it’s over already, stock markets will continue to go up and down for a while yet - as long as nothing very unusual happens. So you buffoons can probably still buy and sell stocks for a couple of months more since all those billions of stimulus money that mainly have weaselled its way into financial institutes, and artificially low interest rates will, together with an crazy over-optimism, keep things going for a while. Just like during the Great Depression (soon to be called: “the miniscule one”) we will see ups and downs. Looking at the Dow for instance it experienced no less than six Bear Market gains during the Great Depression - gains ranging from 12 percent to as much as 72 percent - all while the economy was in collapse and unemployment soared.
Speaking of unemployment I read an interesting piece in today’s paper. Looking at UK in 2009/10, the Treasury is expecting to take in £140.5 billion in gross income tax receipts, but social security benefits are projected to be £164.7 billion. I find this hilarious and even funnier it becomes when I one can read that the total amount of people on benefits will be over 6 million for the first time, ever. UK unemployment increased by 220,000 to 2,435,000 in the three months to June, taking the jobless rate to 7.8%. However, this figure is not really telling us about the 300 000+ jobs the government have “created” and the additional numbers being “hidden”. And looking at housing the Telegraph quoting Numis Securities that is saying: “Our core headline forecast is that UK property prices remain between 17% and 39% overvalued based on fair valuation. Moreover, history has shown us that when property…which has experienced a price bubble corrects, the price tends to fall below fair value for a period of time, as confidence in that market remains low. Prices could fall a further 40-55% if the over-correction was as bad as the early 1990s in our view.” Isn’t painting a nice picture? Ad to this the enormous total debt around 340% of GDP and an overvalued stock market and I hope you see what I see.
In the US things are even worse. There is no stopping the Obamination, even if it seems like he is taking one step back regarding public hell-care. The inflator policy is the worst in recorded history, official unemployment is near 10% (real number around 20%) and entire towns are closing down having unemployment numbers around 40%. Public services in Chicago have decided to shut down for a day in an attempt to deal with a $300m budget deficit. In California, which has a budget deficit of some $24.3bn and has declared fiscal emergency, state offices have been ordered to close for three days each month. Michigan has said it will not pay its state employees on six days up to the end of September, to save nearly $22m. If you never read Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged, it might be time to do so, almost frightening likenesses. But the worst looming disaster of all is the USD that is so overvalued at the moment its frightening. Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil are still buying US treasuries, but during last couple of auctions it has not gone so well and the Fed are buying up treasuries like crazies further moneterizing a potential hyperinflation. The commercial real-estate market is about to collapse and people are hording guns and ammunition like there is no tomorrow. No wonder people are buying lots of alcohol (only retail commodity selling in huge numbers)and snorting cocaine with the few dollar bills they have left.
All in all, looking at graphs the current recession is “the worst since the Great Depression” but it’s still better than the Great Depression, so far. This leads many cornflake economists to conclude that this isn’t so bad and when some financial institutes (evil as they are) announces that the recession is over people tend to believe that crap. But read what I have just told you and take a look around. Does it seem like the recession is over? I see no end to this mess, none whatsoever. Temporarly gains will not change that. Not only will figures continue to drop, more stimuli will be thrown into the fire which will further inflate markets and further deteriorate the world economies.
Already when I started to really analyze what was going on a couple of years ago I thought this could be Great Depression bad, since then things has gotten a lot worse. Now I’m actually starting to believe my own persona on this blog. Just think about it; what is usually the consequence when people have lost everything, have nothing left to lose and everything around is hysterical and horrid? They will, most likely, turn towards those funny little men with hysterical answers, just as before. And in a world in deep deep depression, war is very likely. And what do we have today that they did not have the last time around during the 30’s and 40’s? That’s right, weapons of mass destruction...
Don’t kid yourself people. As I have said before and will urge you to do again; you better start stock-piling goods that will become useful i.e. cans, dried up food packages, candles, gasoline and weapons. Even if I’m wrong and you think I’m a complete idiot, those things are still good to have at home, and if I’m right it might very well be the thing that keeps you alive.

Two things that should be watched
Masters of puppets
One of this world’s most formidable foes, Goldman Sachs, have gone out and claimed that the recession is over. Goldman Sachs is the financial institution that not only squandered away tens of billions; they also needed a bail-out which they, through side-channels and subsidiaries, tunneled into their book keeping, and presto: got black numbers. Then they claimed to be able to pay back the money the American tax payers had given them, showing a profit. Meanwhile their old companions and former employees are sitting at the white house rubbing their hands together. Lex Luthor couldn’t have done it better.
Of all the fraudulent banksters and out of all the evil institutions of this world, Goldman Sachs is at the very top. How can anyone even consider listening to one of the banks that never got it right and would, by any reasonable marketing ethics been bankrupt a long time ago? And their spokesperson: Abby Joseph Cohen. How can anyone listen to her? This woman has never been right. I have actually looked, I couldn’t find a single time when her predictions were correct and even worse; the reality ends up being the complete opposite of what this horrible woman predicts. In fact, one of the best financial advices you can take is to listen to this she-devil and then do the complete opposite. How many billions haven’t this leaching succubus ring mastered out of investors? 1999, 2000, 2001 and so forth until last year when the predictions was off again with so much that any reasonable institution would fire her and all around, but she is still here and media still quote the bitch. And now she says that the recession is over? Oh, I feel so safe…
What in the all blazes of hell and snowy armpits of Santa is media doing? In Sweden they continue to refer to Swedbank as a having a good measure of when the recession is over. Swedbank is the worst of all banks whose economists should be burned alive, hacked into pieces and feed to wild swine flu piggies. And now media quote and refer to evil incorporated and their head black-widow as someone to listen to regarding the economy. How do they get away with this crap? Don’t you people out there realize what these gangsters are doing? They are robbing you blind and Muhahaha:ing into the sunset while the depression keeps going and the media says everything is fine.
And not a single newspaper, even if one or two British and American have so so tried have said anything correct - with one exception: Pravda, go figure. They still ignore all those people that have been completely spot on and not only predicting the recession, but also pinpointing details. Instead they pick up GDP numbers from a hat and throw them out among the audience like it’s a handful of pixie dust - “You feel sleepy, and you believe that the recession is over. GDP have been manipulated, but ignore it”. And then they throw a cloak of invisibility over financial markets and tell us: “Hey everybody, jobs aren't leaving as fast anymore, hoooray!”. What kind of bizarro world are you duped idiots living in? How many times are you going to let these pranksters pick your pockets? How many times will you let them wave shiny objects in your face while they are stealing your car and house? When is it enough?
When two of this world’s worst run financial institutes say the recession is over and the demon bitch from hell Abby Joseph Cohen is standing in front of media claiming the same, you know we are royally screwed. In fact, I take it as a sign that the next wave of the depression is even closer than I thought. I have predicted that the next wave will hit us close before x-mas or somewhere around February/Mars 2010, but now I wonder if it will not hit sooner.
There is enough information out there, so anyone of you that isn’t prepared for what is coming, you idiots deserve everything you get.

In defence of a stupid man
Again I need to "defend" a stupid prosecutor that cannot handle media and say the politically correct thing. In an effort to explain what should be a difference in regards to different levels of rape he sort of stepped into it saying that a “rape” within a relationship should not be regarded as the same thing as a brutal attack. In this he is, of course, correct, both legally speaking and morally. Even if Hillegrens "example" on penalty seem a bit strange; legally there is and should be a distinction between sexual abuses and rape and all the different levels of the two.
A person attacking a minor and violently rape this person with many bruises as well as emotional distress that comes with, should, at the very least, get locked away for a very long time. Preferably I would argue for the firing squad. If someone pushes another within a relationship and one says no but still, eventually, cave in having sex without wanting it that is not the same. Is it a crime at all? And if it is; what crime? What punishment? And when, in this latest example, does it become sexual abuse? Rape? When someone says no? If this is the case I have been raped many times myself. When someone says no several times and pushes the other one away? When?
People seem to have gone overboard on this issue and read something into something that isn’t there. Hillegren has never said there cannot be rape within a relationship; he has never said there shouldn’t be a punishment for rape. He might have expressed himself clumsy (and maybe gone to far), and he should know better than to antagonize an overzealous and politically correct media and populace, but was it wrong? I would like to see all those people screaming in blogs and such to take a breath and explain the differences, explain what punishment there should be and to do so with some form of level headiness.

The spending scam - we are screwed
If you really want to know what’s really going on in the world right now, consider the following.
You have been spending a lot of money to buy a lot of things you actually cannot afford. You are in debt, close to personal bankruptcy and you have been writing I owe you’s (IOU) to everyone you know to cover your continuant expenses. Your neighbours are starting to question your morality and some are even angry enough to beat you up. You have already mortgaged your house so many times that cannot be done anymore, you are working 3 jobs and your family is screaming for more stuff, so what do you do? Cut expenses? Tell the family they cannot have more stuff? Throw your kids out to get jobs? Maybe all of the mentioned and then some.
Now imagine you are in the same situation but regarding a whole country and you are the president or prime minister and you want to get re-elected. Of course you would borrow more! You sell IOU’s like crazy and spend it all. You use the printing machine to tax and in-debt the populace even further. And when that recession hits, what do you do? You do the same thing, but now you crank the gear into overdrive and borrow and print so much money that you can fill the Mediterranean with all those notes. In addition you artificially lower interest rates so all citizens can borrow cheaper and in-debt themselves even further as an additional debt. And when people do not do as expected, you urge them on, call up newspapers to spread your scam; you use your friends, the bankers, to further spread trust in the system. Eagerly asking people to empty their piggy-bank, take out advances on their pay-check, mortgage their grandparent’s house and maximize their credit cards. Spend spend and spend! And when some numbers, thanks to all those scams, start to show some improvements again, you can claim that the recession is over.
Now, after this little session into reality, what will happen next? Will the “recession” end? Are the country (or you) better off?
This is what’s being done right now and even if it has been done before and long before the current crisis, everything now are at a level not ever seen before. Only looking at US the Obamination and his administration has spent and will spend more money then all presidents before him put together. Add up both world wars, Vietnam and the New Deal and you still don’t even reach the bail-out levels. And what will our politicians say, argue for and eventually do? That’s right! The same thing!
The current bubble they are inflating is so humongous that it dwarfs anything before. Take a look at Island and then take that times 1000 and you will get pretty close. We are so screwed. We are so utterly utterly fucked that it is hard to comprehend. What you all need to do is to prepare. Sooner or later this Tsunami will hit the world and when this happens life as we know it will be no more.

Bring home the troops
For some strange reason Sweden have soldiers in Afghanistan. Partly helping Nato (US) with their hunt for Usama Bin Laden that allegedly was behind the 9/11 attack although no proof of this have even been shown, and partly they are there in order to help the Afghan people and support the “democratic” government fend of the Taliban’s. Even if this can be explained from some kind of “humanitarian” viewpoint it then becomes very strange that there aren’t a Swedish involvement in Venezuela, helping that populace fends of the socialist dictatorship. And how about Ukraine? Tibet? Zimbabwe? And if we are there to protect females, how about Saudi Arabia? Iran? The number of conflicts and people suffering in this world are near endless.
Besides, there is a very simple solution in Afghanistan: legalize drugs. Almost all income the Taliban has comes from trading drugs. If drugs where legal in our part of the world (we who mainly buys the Taliban drugs) the prices would go down, normal people could start their own agricultural experiments and most (all) income the Taliban’s have would disappear.
It is very hard to see any real reason for Swedish tax payers to pay for this stupidity. Sure the Swedish troops, along with others, will help one or two, but in the long run will it make a difference? The biggest and badest army and intelligence forces of the world cannot, for some reason, find the people they are looking for and looses in human life in a foreign land seems highly unnecessary. And, as mentioned, if this notion of righteousness is so fantastic, there are a lot of places we should be sending troops, and are we really that much better? How good is our own country with bankers earning billions with taxpayers paying the bill, with fascist laws being formed regarding the free media and politicians everywhere imposing new restrictions every day? Rationally speaking there is no reason for us being there, and humanitarianly speaking it is questionable.

More lies
Japan have had an economic downturn since 1990 and during time, until now, the Japanese governments have been throwing stimulus after stimulus after stimulus into the fierily hell of stupidity and kept interest rates down near zero for the better part of a decade. The only thing that have kept them floating have been trade and the Japanese people that work hard and still save money. Now it is reported that Japan, after four consecutive quarters of contraction, has a “growing” economy since it “grew” by 0.9% in the April-to-June quarter. Cornflake economists and robot journalists immediately took this as another sign that the recession is over referring to Germany and France that last week had positive (fictive) growth numbers. Some investors and other correspondents say that the rise is due to a huge government stimulus package and it is unclear whether the momentum will be sustained. Massive government stimulus measures helped - measured as about 0.7% of the growth by economist which means, of course, that the real number is higher - to boost the economy, including cash handouts and subsidies to buy energy efficient cars and home appliances. The second reason is that manufacturers benefited from recovering demand in mainly China (demand also thanks to stimuli).
As mentioned in this earlier post the supposedly “growth” in Germany and France was a lie, and so is Japans. This because of what I have said before and will say again, GDP is a very stupid way of measuring wealth and how the economy is really doing. Anyone with the slightest knowledge can increase GDP with 10% without even trying. All you need to do is hire all people that is unemployed to tare down houses and rebuild them again or, even funnier, have them dig holes in the ground and refill it again, over and over. Best way of doing this, of course, is to borrow hundreds of billions to pay for the scam. And for a government under fire things like typhoons, earthquakes and massive fires are fantastic news since all those things also increase GDP. People dying? Pffff… Real wealth creation? Pffff… GDP is what matters.
In the real world Japan, as most other countries, is doing terrible at the moment. Both Japan and China will end up on the other side of the tunnel after this depression as winners since their capacity to actually produce is higher than most other countries, but for now and the near future their “growth” is not good news, in fact its bad news. This for two reasons. Firstly its not real wealth that has been created, only higher GDP numbers, secondly, and most importantly, this sends out a signal that the stimulus’s and bail-outs are “working” hence more of the same madness is to come.
Wealth comes from us producing things, not from governments throwing billions around. Wealth comes from producing, not from bailing out companies that should go bankrupt. Until either the people realize this and rebel or our leaders realize this and do the right thing this depression will never be over. There might be a year or two of recovering now and again, but sooner or later, the next recession will hit, and then the next and the next. In our current situation, however, there is no recovery for a long time yet, at least not for the US and the UK that are in terrible conditions. And when the second wave of this depression tsunami wave hits US, it will have effect on the entire world. In other words, don’t trust anything you are being told. It is all a lie.

All you need to do is hire all people that is unemployed to tare down houses and rebuild them again or, even funnier, have them dig holes in the ground and refill it again, over and over. Best way of doing this, of course, is to borrow hundreds of billions to pay for the scam. And for a government under fire things like typhoons, earthquakes and massive fires are fantastic news since all those things also increase GDP. People dying? Pffff… Real wealth creation? Pffff… GDP is what matters.
In the real world Japan, as most other countries, is doing terrible at the moment. Both Japan and China will end up on the other side of the tunnel after this depression as winners since their capacity to actually produce is higher than most other countries, but for now and the near future their “growth” is not good news, in fact its bad news. This for two reasons. Firstly its not real wealth that has been created, only higher GDP numbers, secondly, and most importantly, this sends out a signal that the stimulus’s and bail-outs are “working” hence more of the same madness is to come.
Wealth comes from us producing things, not from governments throwing billions around. Wealth comes from producing, not from bailing out companies that should go bankrupt. Until either the people realize this and rebel or our leaders realize this and do the right thing this depression will never be over. There might be a year or two of recovering now and again, but sooner or later, the next recession will hit, and then the next and the next. In our current situation, however, there is no recovery for a long time yet, at least not for the US and the UK that are in terrible conditions. And when the second wave of this depression tsunami wave hits US, it will have effect on the entire world. In other words, don’t trust anything you are being told. It is all a lie.
Some more companies to stay away from
In order to further strengthen its core franchise Swedbank announces fully underwritten SEK 15 billion rights offering this failing institution says in a pressrealize today. Apparently Folksam Liv and Folksam Sak, two of the main owners, have decided to guarantee some of these billions which mean that those two are two other companies to stay away from. Swedbank is a horrible institution that recently needed their second bail-out from the Swedish government in less then 20 years and they have still not coped with all their billions in losses from the Baltic and Eastern European states. In other words the Swedish taxpayers continue to support and pay for overpaid economists, bankers and investors at a bank that should have gone down a long time ago. I have said it before and I will say it again, if you are a customer at this bank, leave it and leave it now. Also those investing in this bank will take heavy losses in the future, stay away from those too. And for God's sake, never buy any stocks or anything that has to do with this utter stupidity.
War emminent
The dictator Hugo Chavez continues his scheme to antagonize Columbia, now apparently arrested 30+ Columbian citizens as they waited to get identification cards that are regularly distributed by the consulate. Consul Maria Elvira Cabello told the Globovision television channel that between 20 and 30 Colombians, including an official from Colombia's diplomatic mission, were held at a police station for several hours before being released. Police also took computers belonging to the consulate and passports from some of those detained, she said. Cabello also stated: "This took us by surprise because it's a frequent endeavor that we undertake every month,"
This is not a normal action taken from one country towards another. While the Venezuelan economy deteriorates more and more, the leftie autocracy will probably have no choice. Socialism cannot create value, only distribute it, so when the wealth’s goes down, the dictator and his cronies will have no choice other than to start a war to keep the populace busy with other concerns. This will happen sooner or later so why not during the beginning of this depression? I really starting to like Chavez, he is showing the world what socialism is. Not that we really need to know, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and all the others have already done that, but most people seem to have forgot already so another dictator showing his true bloodlust is a good thing.

Fascism keep growing in the US
Violence erupted at a townhall meeting hosted by North Carolina congressman David Price, after a protester was punched in the face for voicing his opposition to proposed changes to health care coverage in America.
Not a single time the right have started fights, the Obaminations supporters, however, have started trouble on several occasions already. This is not an isolated incident. Media, however, only keep reporting about conservatives and "right-wing" people with swastikas. Lefties are gaining ground and fascism is growing.
The assault took place at the end of an opening speech Congressman Price at North Carolina Central University in Durham. Eyewitnesses of the assault say claim the assailant was an African-American woman who openly supported Obama.
People who went to the meeting sponsored by SEANC, the South’s leading employee union with 55,000 members, say it was highly scripted and was more of a presentation than an actual townhall meeting. Union-run Security banned any anti-health-care reform posters while allowing Democrats to distribute leaflets promoting Barack Obama.
As security officials took away the assailant, Democrat Party supporters mocked the victim, asking him, “do you have health care?”. The victim, who wishes not to be identified, is pressing charges against his attacker.

The politically correct strikes again
Rolf Hillegren is the name of the day. He works at as prosecutor in Stockholm and was quoted the other day saying: “When thinking of rape, you mostly think about horrid examples. But take a man and a woman that really know each other (relationship*) and the female says she does not feel like it, but the male do her anyway. Sure it might be a bit unfair, but hardly worth a couple of years in prison”
What you really need to know before making a judgment about this statement is that this was said in the context of changing how courts rule in Sweden. Today you can be sentence to several years in jail just by someone else claiming you raped her/him. No evidence needed, no witnesses, nothing. All that is needed is for the judge and some politically appointed “jury’s” to believe in one story more than the other. This is about to change and in this context Mr Hillegren uttered that sentence.
Also you need to know about the scale within the Swedish justice system. Whatever one thinks about it, the fact is that there are several levels of rape and several levels of sexual abuse. In earlier statements from the same man with similar words he has referred to the technical/juridicial term “rape” and said it should not be interpreted as the same thing as sexual abuse. Legally speaking, he is right of course, but in this case it is not even this he is talking about, not as I see it, but no matter what, the headless chickens comes out of the woodwork to hang the man, without checking anything except for one sentence taken out of context. This is how you trick people, this is how you sell newspapers and this is how you know people are complete morons. I’m not even convinced he actually said the words being quoted; I trust newspapers and journalist as far as handicapped dwarf can throw them.
Of course feminists and politically correct ass-holes comes forth and crucify the man claiming he condone in-house rapes within relationships/marriages. I can hardly see how someone can make that claim about above sentence, and even if, it is even harder to think Hillegren actually talked about such events. At the most he should be accused of not bending to the PC-rule of always saying and using the “correct” phrases.
How many people - that have been in a relationship - have been saying no and not wanting sex, but end up having it anyway? I know I have, many times. And I cannot imagine anyone that hasn’t. Sometimes you don’t want to; sometimes you are tired or have jerked of too many times during the day and don’t have the stamina. Can such a situation really be construed as a rape-situation? If that’s the case I have been raped by many girls throughout the years and it would be very hard to find a single person on this planet that hasn’t been raped. This is ridiculous of course, but that doesn’t stop the PC-idiots.
So many morons and so little time…

Alien invasion?
I want to believe in Aliens and that they are about to invade our planet, sadly it's not true of course, but it might be our last hope.
American capitalism gone with a whimper
Oh my, the only newspaper on the planet printing the truth is "Pravda"... What happend with the world? Go read

pravda
These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

The Fascist Clowns
Stupid Clown Nr 1:
Stupid Clown Nr 2:
Hard to find better pictures of our foes. Let's start doing these of Gordon Brownie, Reinfeldt, Sarkozy, Markel (would not make any difference) and all the rest of our enemies. All these people, and many more, are fucking up the world together with brain-less journalists and cornflake economists.

The pieces are lining up...
The Pentagon Wants Authority to Post Almost 400,000 Military Personnel in U.S.
The Pentagon has approached Congress to grant the Secretary of Defense the authority to post almost 400,000 military personnel throughout the United States in times of emergency or a major disaster.
Oh my... maybe those NWO freaks are right after all...

Facing evil head on
While our enemies remain determined to enforce fascist laws regarding the free media Germany's Central Council of Jews, the country's leading Jewish organization, have announced that it now backs a proposal to publish a new edition of "Mein Kampf,". Hitlers little thingy have been banned in Germany along with nazi-saluts and the swastika for over 60 years. This “controversial” view is seemingly partly a practical solution since the book can be bought in several neighbouring countries and found online, and partly it is an expression of free speech. Of course this is a much better standpoint than outlawing people from expressing themselves. Also, one needs to wonder why those (in part) fascist symbols aren’t allowed when communist and socialist symbols are. I have actually read Mein Kampf and if you ever have or do, you too will come to realize what a piece of crap that is. To me that shapeless stupidity stand as a testimate for Hitler’s madness and as such it should be read, just as the communist manifesto and other expressions of pure hatred. We should not hide from evil, rather confront it, debate it, and, if necessary, expulse it.
In the US of A there are some crack-pots, just as in many other countries, that regard Hitler as a prophetic figure. Sadly those people are, as usual, mentioned together with conservatives and libertarians. However stupid such a notion might be, it does not matter to leftie journalists that has a reason to "expose" the collective "right”. The left-right notion has nothing to do with reality were people like libertarians and Tree-huggers are very hard to place. But there are also anarchists to both the “left” and “right”, and one can probably have a hard time placing several other groups like feminists or environmentalists. However, somehow this Hitler-loving pile of freakozoids has combined a belief in God with some American constitutional rights and this earns them “extreme-conservatives” or some other similar label. Hitler, not really a fan of either property rights or freedom of speech, socialized larger parts of the German economy, just like Mussolini did and other fascists argued then and also have on the agenda today. Those fascist movements kept some “big” companies or institutions in private hands, which are one of the many strange reasons lefties regard it as a “right”-ideology. Laughable at best, that notion has still managed to gain rots within societies all across the world and journalists never loose a single moment to trash right-wing parties or persons for this “connection”. Even if one can find some slim relationships between conservatives and fascist (mainly the nationalistic vain), it is much harder, downright impossible, to find any connection to libertarians or anarcho-capitalist. But they still try it.
Recently a huge, and growing, movement against the Obaminations fascist policies (and yes, they are fascist seen to the economy) have been under attack. Not only does leading democrats claim to see swastikas among demonstrators, they also play the racist-card over and over. “It’s only because he is black” is a reoccurring sentence we are being told. Here is a real fact for you; it is not because Obama is black we loath and despise everything he does, it is because he is an idiot and a very dangerous idiot at that. Policies, laws and actions taken by the Obaminations administration has been the opposite of what need to be done, very often purely un-constitutional and, as said, very close to fascist solutions. I already know several will accuse me of doing the same as I claim the lefties are doing, putting Obama together with the fascist ideology, and they are sort of right, I do, but I do it because it is correct. Pick up a history book and/or read about fascism. Check what they wanted to do, did, and still want to do with the economy and society. If you do not find striking similarities, you are not able to read and consequently, most likely, went to a public school.
There is another group of perverted people calling themselves ”the birthers” that claim that the Obamination is not even born in the US, but in Kenya. Despite overwhelming evidence they stick to that belief conjuring up some conspiracy to back their claims. It is hard to take such people really serious and since such a “conspiracy” would involve hundreds (most likely thousands or even tens of thousands) of people to really be working I can only ask those Birthers to get a life and complain about real issues instead. And besides, who the hell cares if the Obamination is born in Kenya, Hawaii or on Mars. It’s his policies and leftie ways we should care about. But, of course, also these people get clustered together with “the right”.
Anyway, back to my original idea about facing evil head on. Like William Kostric, one American that stood up for his right to bear arms and did so at a meeting attended by Barack Obama. Leftie news reporters immediately jumped on the chance to misscredit and bully, which did not take, Mr Kostric remain determined and hold his ground. If more Americans were as like that, the mess wouldn’t even exist. And the Jews in Germany's Central Council of Jews is also doing the right thing, facing evil, not running, not re-writing or attaching labels that do not exist, but standing up to it, and stare it right in the face. Sometime in the future this is what many people need to do. Evil comes in many different forms, but almost always, it is some slick well-spoken advocate of collectivism that tries to take us down that murderess road, and this can be a white man as well as a black one.

One voice of stupidity
One of Swedens largest newspaper continues to spit out economic data and indications with misinterpreted statistics, errors and biases, and seem very eager to manipulate whatever conclusions or reports researchers find regarding the economy.
Let me show you two examples of this being at display today.
Firstly the paper (DN) reports that “there is lots of signs of recovery”. In this little article they refere to The Economic Tendency Indicator, which measure business and consumer confidence in the economic situation, and that this has risen just under seven points to 87.1 in July. They do, however, fail to quote the continuation of the report that says: “But despite the substantial rise in the past three months, it still indicates that business and consumer sentiment is considerably weaker than normal. (…)However, employment has fallen considerably and firms forecast continued staff cuts for the current quarter. The proportion of firms reporting financing difficulties rose again somewhat in July.” Mm… interesting.
Then they talk about the Swedish GDP that shows 0% difference between 1Q and the 2Q which means it is still as bad as before and this is “good news”.
In addition one report from Swedbank (the bank that is defaulting, need bail-outs and still have billions in Baltic-losses to cope with). The report claims a growing optimism among certain executives.
And finally they refer to the Swedish finance mentalist Anders Borg and the Prime Mentalist Fredrik Reinfeldt whom both claim to see indicators in the economy for growing stabilization. However, never really saying what they actually mean.
In other words, they conveniently forget to show the negative aspects of the Economic Tendency Indicator, they refer to zero-growth as something positive, they rely on Sweden’s worst bank whose economists should all get keelhauled and they talk about the government (that has no reason to praise the economy… no, not one single reason…) that says some mumbo jumbo about “stabilization”. How about that? I feel comforted, don’t you? Of course this little scheme is a lot worse than just claiming positivism where there is none. Firstly; the Swedish government is showing huge red numbers at the moment, most of which is being borrowed hence keeps GDP up. Secondly the Swedish interest rate is kept very low which means people are still, idiots as they are, borrowing to buy things, mainly housing which is the reason why real-estate and housing prices have gone up most of the year. This is also a plus for GDP, however, the loans, the massive debt, is not counted. Thirdly the Swedish central bank has been putting out money to financial institutes through the printing machine. Although most of that money has been covering up losses or being kept as securities, some of it has trickled down into the economy, again leading to positive impact on GDP. With this in mind the actual wealth being produced has, almost certainly, gone down. If we leave GDP for a moment and stay focused on sentiments about the economy. What do such numbers really say? In essence nothing, and, of course, when newspapers and the government keep being insincere towards the general public many idiots will believe the lies. And Swedbank? Please, that if anything should make anyone reading this crap to laugh out right. If there still are some of you monkeys that have accounts and such with that crappy institution, leave it now.
On a related note the same paper reports that SBAB, the governments own little lending-scam company, is showing a profit increase. Nooooo… how can it be? Can it have something to do with very low interest rates, the credit expansion and other governmental bamboozles?
And, finally, let’s take a look at another fine little perverted stupidity the paper is writing about. Because, of course, they lifted up the story about France and Germany showing slight plusses in GDP in regards to the first quarter. I have already revealed that scam and you can read about that here
Please people; don’t let this newspaper that clearly is an advocate of stupidity (in best case scenario) and/or just runs the errands of our enemies, dictate what to do from now on. If you like investments, buy gold, silver or similar items. If you own stocks, sell. If you own real-estate or a house, sell. There are still lots of idiots buying things, let ‘em. And please put away things that could be very useful in the future i.e. dried up food packages, cans and guns.

A woman helps Bernanke
"Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn." // John Wesley
A woman tried to commit suicide by setting herself on fire inside the Mall of the Americas in West Miami-Dade on Thursday, August 13, 2009. The Mall of the Americas was closed Thursday afternoon following this apparent suicide.
The husband of a 43-year-old woman who set herself on fire at The Mall of the Americas says she has a history of mental problems and went to Jackson Memorial Hospital three times recently for psychiatric help.
One can make a lot of fun puns about something like this, but let’s stay serious for a while and look at this from an economic point of view. Apparently the mall closed for a short while which means, temporarly, less shopping which means; lower GDP. Although, this also means rising health-care costs, probably some psychic evaluations and some mental-ward expenses. Also it means that some doctors and nurses have more work in addition to the entire trauma that comes with for all those witnessing this event. All in all probably a plus, economically (=GDP) speaking. And since Ben Bernanke seems to be looking for ways to improve the economy, maybe he doesn’t need to look further then towards Miami-dade? In some expects he has already put forward similar solutions so that’s the tip of the day to cornflake economists around the globe; encourage people to lit themselves or other ones/things on fire. Great stuff for GDP.
A woman tried to commit suicide by setting herself on fire inside the Mall of the Americas in West Miami-Dade on Thursday, August 13, 2009. The Mall of the Americas was closed Thursday afternoon following this apparent suicide.
The husband of a 43-year-old woman who set herself on fire at The Mall of the Americas says she has a history of mental problems and went to Jackson Memorial Hospital three times recently for psychiatric help.
One can make a lot of fun puns about something like this, but let’s stay serious for a while and look at this from an economic point of view. Apparently the mall closed for a short while which means, temporarly, less shopping which means; lower GDP. Although, this also means rising health-care costs, probably some psychic evaluations and some mental-ward expenses. Also it means that some doctors and nurses have more work in addition to the entire trauma that comes with for all those witnessing this event. All in all probably a plus, economically (=GDP) speaking. And since Ben Bernanke seems to be looking for ways to improve the economy, maybe he doesn’t need to look further then towards Miami-dade? In some expects he has already put forward similar solutions so that’s the tip of the day to cornflake economists around the globe; encourage people to lit themselves or other ones/things on fire. Great stuff for GDP.

Cameron shows his socialist side
That the Tories also goes to bed with the rest of our enemies should be clear by now, but apparently David Cameron wants to emphasize this a bit more since he has joined the campaign to defend the National Health Service (NHS). It is probably a scheme to not alienate all those hundreds of thousands employed by this stupidity – in politics the most important thing is to trick you to vote for ‘em. Those working within NHS make up a huge number of votes and are consequently “very important” to political parties. This is how socialism “works”, they create a monstrosity, make a huge number of people dependent on it and then make up stories about how any cut-backs or, God forbid, abolishment is pure devilry. And this is also why the current Labour regime does their very best to increase public employees at the moment, because despite a loss in next years election they have created a nice pile of state-dependent idiots that probably will end up hating Tories for cutting some of them down.
Mr Cameron's intervention came after he rebuked Daniel Hannan, a Tory MP that supports the opposition against the Obaminations hell-care plans in the US. Cameron, apparently fully intended to keep the fully-perverted NHS said he did not agree with Mr Hannan's remarks. Cameron said: "I support the NHS 100% and the Conservative Party supports the NHS 100 per cent.”
So there you have it folks, Tories will continue to fuck up Britain, just as Labour has done. That urge to leave the British isles just became irresistable.

Math, anyone?
Sometimes it is tiresome to read reports and what journalists print about them. The reports are seldom that wrong. Sure many banks are cooking their books and the massive credit expansion have bellied up stock markets (that will crash sooner or later), but one can still read whatever information that is there, which, of course, none from the enemy class is doing – or worse; they do and try to sell us their crap anyway which is the notion I hold true more and more.
A recent report about France and Germany’s GDP is no different. Our enemies say those two countries have growing GDP hence the recession is clearly over. Is it now?
Before I quote that report, this is how GDP is normally counted:
GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports − imports), or,
GDP = C + I + G + (X − M).
In this little show-and-tell about how our enemies “work” I want you all to take notice on a couple of things in this equation. Firstly exports VS imports or X-M. In the world of basic math it means that if exports grow in relation to imports GDP increases. If imports grow, GDP goes down. The same happens if either goes down in relation to the other. Okay? With me? This is very basic math that you should be able to figure this out at middle school – which, of course, means that economist, journalists and some other idiots cannot manage it.
Now, let us look at the report
Firstly France had 0,2% in change compared with the previous quarter, however, compared with the same period last year it contracted with -2,6. Germany went up 0.3%, but compared with last year -5.3%. Good news? Maybe in bizzaro world. According to all institutes (none of which are quoted by any of our enemies) that handles recession statistics it is not unusual for a couple of months of dip and then a surplus like back in 2001 when the US show 2Q of negative growth, 1Q plus and then 1Q negative again. Even during the Great Depression (soon to be called; “The tiny one”) there was several signs of economic comeback, some countries even show Q-plusses on one or two occasions.
But lets ignore that for a moment, one can argue about those numbers so we can leave them be and instead look at the actual counted GDP numbers.
In France, economy minister Christine Lagarde said: “Foreign trade contributed 0.9% to the GDP figure”. Really? How interesting. How about imports? Lord and behold, imports have gone down… Nooooo… And what does that do to GDP? If you do not remember; go to the top and read from the beginning again. And what really went on in Germany? Well, according to Statistisches Bundesamt the increase in GDP is mainly due to following: “As price-adjusted imports declined far more sharply than exports, the balance of exports and imports also had a positive effect on GDP growth.” Noooo… really? So when Unicredit economist Andreas Rees reckons that the export-dependent auto sector contributed 0.25 percentage point to overall German GDP growth, you shouldn’t really be surprised. In other words: both countries have “stimulated” their auto-industry with countless billions which have made people go and purchase cars they otherwise would not buy (hence increased private consumption, look above again…), which makes one part of the GDP-“increase”, the other increase is that people do not shop foreign goods as much in correlation to what they sell abroad. Already these two factors mean that the entire "growth" disappears. The last piece of the puzzle is that both countries have committed billions of tax money on different projects, again with the notion of “stimulating”. And what you really want to know here, looking at the equation again, is that if government spending goes up €100 billion it will show up as a €100 plus in GDP (if all else stay the same).
So, is this all bad? No, not really. France and Germany have not been throwing as much money into the fire as UK or the US, German economists are also a tad smarter than many others since they have an history of knowing what happens when you print a lot of money out of thin air. It is very possible that we during the 3Q also will see plus in GDP, however, imagine what happens when the government founding for different projects run out, when the incentive to buy cars dissipate or if the rest of the European countries (that are the main trading partners to France and Germany) do not get their economies going. If all of this happens, or even just some of it, the GDP numbers will fall again.
All of this, however, is not really the main problem. As you now know GDP numbers can be tampered with or journalists can just chose to show us what they feel is appropriate, but so can also a lot of other statistics. For instance, Ben Bernanke sat before a hearing the other day and claimed that the Fed would not monetarize US debt. Under oath he said that this would not be done, but back at the office he immediately started pressing those funny buttons and presto, another $200+ billion was thrown into the American economy. I have seen/read some people claiming this to be perjury, and it is hard to argue with that. Worst still is US unemployment numbers that officially is 9,4%, but the way they are counting is ridiculous to say the least. And where have all those trillions upon trillions of dollars and Euros, and pounds and yen gone? Mainly they have gone straight to financial institutes that have either put them in the vault or to, tada! Bought equities! And where is that main “green shoot” our enemies are seeing? That’s right, the stock-markets. So all that fictive monopoly money they have conjured up from nothing has inflated certain areas of the economy, it's not additional value, only more fiat money, and this is what really should worry you. In addition we can mention oil prices or the comming collapse of the dollar, or the massive malinvestments or any other stupidity our enemies have created for us.
The truest signs of how the economy is going you can find in other places. As I have mentioned before, prostitution is going down. An supposedly recession proof industry like the sex-trade is falling. From the US we can see that the only good sign within retail is a big increase in alcohol purchases. Similar numbers are shown from Sweden. People's instincts is telling them to stock up on vodka and such. Piracy is going up around the globe and the Baltic trading index is falling again. These signs are real indications.
To end off this little rambling session I can tell you I have been inspected lamp-posts recently. Although hardly tall enough in UK cities, I have noticed that along side the motorway there are some steady tall ones that can be properly attired with hardy ropes in the future. I suggest you go on a similar excursion and pick out a nice spot for future dangling...

Another sane person
Elizabeth Warren, chair of the COP. A before translation; the banks are lying and things are much worse than the Obamination administration is saying. In particular, pay attention to what she is saying towards the end about the big financial institutes.

Oh my fucking lord of all that is unholy…
