If you read papers and watch some so called journalists on TV you have probably noticed how some companies apparently make high profits while others goes as crappy crap crap at the moment. Some companies’ show just a slight increase in profit and journalists (basket-cases as they are) say: “it was better then expected!” seemingly showing things are looking up. I never really understood this strange optimism. Normally you can show anything to journalists and they transform it into the worst thing imaginable. A storm blowing down some trees instantly becomes a “killer Hurricane!” because one of those trees almost fell 100yards from an old couple walking the dog. Some 16 year old having sex with a 20 year old she met online becomes a “victim” and journalists will not show the age of this “horrifying rapist paedophile old man”, but will say that the female was “underage” or “a teenager”. And, of course, they will interview some psychologist that got his degree at the cornflake university of fool&idiot, and he will claim that teenagers might possible likely maybe get some emotional scars from such an experience. This will make journalists throw up headlines like: “Emotional scared teen meet rapist online”. And this, of course, is another reason why we need government to regulate, tax and ban the Internet. But somehow this does not apply for the economy. It is the other way around; they are really trying to find the good news! Strange isn’t it?
In fact, even if a bunch of companies show good numbers and some of them really good ones, it is still very worrying that several other big and important companies is close to bankruptcy or showing horrifying numbers. In a modern economy the companies are either very in-twined with each other and/or with the banking system and/or with companies overseas. This means that in a small economy like, for instance, the Swedish one; even 2 or 3 big companies going bad is horrific news. That will have an impact on their trading partners, their subsidiaries and the local towns where they have factories and such. It will have an impact on unemployment (now close to 10% in Sweden), tax revenues and the consumption power overall. And since this means that in the next step others will suffer and created a further downturn in a domino effect one really need to be worried. So when Volvo, SonyEricsson, StoraEnso, SAAB, several big banks and many others show really horrid numbers, what do journalists put the main focus on? They show that Boliden (A gold-mining company) goes very well. No shit Sherlock! Ever wondered why? A couple of investment groups also go very well, nah? How come? Who could have predicted that scenario? Oh, wait… I did… on several occasions. Among other places: Read about that here
But the worst thing is that they show figures from certain companies to show some positivism. Like today the Swedish papers tell us that ABB that is showing a profit of $675 million compared to $975 million the same quarter last year. Firstly, in regards to such a big company, already $975 million is bad and secondly, how can falling profits be “good news”? Because some analysts that couldn’t find his own dick if you turned of the light missed by $100 million it is good news? Please…
But back to my initial notion. How come journalists don’t write about the same thing I do: that the apocalypse is coming, we are screwed beyond all comprehension and that the enemies are destroying our countries and future. That would make great headlines, and the statements are true. All the things I write about in this blog - that is meant to be serious - is backed by facts and real numbers and I’m not the only one. It's not only we “crazies” arguing that the greatest depression humankind ever seen is coming around the corner. There is lots of economists, statesmen and others saying the same thing. So why don’t our bellowed representatives of the news tell these stories? At least a little. They can always put in a disclaimer or bend the story as they always do. But no. They still ignore all of us that predicted this crisis, they still ignore interviewing the alternative voice, and they still don’t listen to reason. There are economist (partly myself included) that has predicted the latest year or two into the smallest details and keep being spot on, still they almost completely ignored. To me - having gone through a journalist education myself, and having dealt with journalists on several occasions - this is very strange. They should jump these bones.

Still no proof whatsoever
I’m still giving £100 to anyone that can offer me one single scientific proof of man-made global warming. A friend of mine is offering SEK5000. Is there no one that even wants to try it? Of course you are going to fail, but I had expected at least some snowed-in tree hugging freaks to at least try.
If no one wins this money, I’m going to give it to some hunters in Alaska so they can buy more bullets and shoot some Polar Bears. And don't think I'm joking about this last part, I'm not.

Fascists keep gaining ground
The new leftie administration at the White House, the horrible institution of the European Union and some totalitarian regimes seems to get what they want; the dictator wannabe Zelaya might be able to return to Honduras. Not a single Western country have supported the democratic, honest and good government of Honduras that so far has done everything correct except for not shooting the socialist Zelaya from the start. So much would have been better if they just executed that horrible man directly and that is one of two lessons to be learned from this mess; if you get the chance to make the world a better place, you better take it directly. The second lesson we are getting taught is that the collective force of the enemy class is stronger and reaches longer into every establishment than we can possible phantom. It is apparent that we are truly truly fucked beyond all comprehension.
And is it just me or does Zelaya look just like Saddam Hussein? I'm not trying to making these two socialist into brothers or anything, it is just an observation.
Saddam Hussein?
Manuel Zelaya?

Some pimpled faced thin boy, 15y younger than me, asked me for ID today when I tried to buy beer... I think I take it as a compliment...

Fear not – Hog Man to the rescue
Oh, I had no doubt at all. I just knew there where true Superheroes out there. So far this pink crusader has been spotted in forests in Canada, in the Sovie…*sorry*, Russia and the Nordic countries. The reports tell of a well muscled man, agile as a gymnast that can bounce over a fallen tree in one jump. His superpower, apparently, is that he can eat anything - just like a true swine.
In an announcement sent to routers, supposedly dispatch from the Hog Mans secret lair, is stating that he will rid the world of all evil viruses, including horrible diceases like Hillary Clinton, public healthcare officials and people whom love the European Union.
The only picture taken so far:
Could this be him unmasked?

Gold, Gold and some Silver
If you listen to me (or anyone else with a brain) you’re making money out of Gold by now. Also stocks attached to Gold mining companies and related businesses have been going up lately. Among others; India and China have been buying a lot of gold recently and even if the gold price is kept down through manipulation by certain banks the price keep rising and will continue to do so. According to some with insight the gold price will reach $5000/uns within a year or so and I see no reason to question this. The world reserve currency, USD, is losing ground fast and I would be very surprised if it doesn’t collapse already this year. In addition to this there are higher and higher inflation expectations since bail-outs, stimulus packages and artificially low interest rates keeps flooding the markets with an abundant of money. A couple of countries is handling this very smart and if you want to know where the real power in this world will lay in the future, follow the gold.
Also, the same goes for silver that is actually more undervalued than gold.
I am hoping, of course, that we will see a return of real money with objective value; gold and silver. That will probably never happen, but maybe we can see a return of the gold standard which would be great thing. In the meanwhile I urge you all of you that are stupid enough having money fixed in housing, real-estate or stocks to sell, sell and sell. Then buy gold, silver and if you really feel the urge to own stocks, buy something related to those commodities. Most currencies are very volatile, but the Swish franc and several Asian currencies might be a good investment.

The positive aspect of Swine flu
According to several reports the Swine flu will also have an effect on the economy. Of course the enemies within will use this as an excuse to cover their own faults. “Oh, no it was not us, it was the Swine flu.” To a small extent this is correct and this is a very positive thing. Let me tell you why.
The world economy is in a much worse state than most of you realize. Not only has trade dropped significantly and unemployment is starting to reach 1930’s levels, but also GDP is going down and protectionism is growing. These facts are not really debated since even cornflake economists and politicians acknowledge it. But what you are not told is that things are even worse.
Firstly you need to know that GDP is not a very good measurement of either real wealth or the status of the economy; it only measures what is going on in general, not the actual increase in riches. If one, oh lets say, print a lot of money and borrow trillions of dollar and then spend all that money it will increase GDP (in our situation increase mainly stock-markets, which is why those are going up at the moment). However, the future decrease that should be measured (enormous debt accumulation) is not counted and furthermore the actual inflation (decrease in money value) has not been taken into effect. In GDP only “inflation” in regards to prices during the time of measurement is subtracted from the GDP-numbers. Since almost all this “new money” firstly reaches financial institutes and the government it means that inflation, in the short run, don’t grow as much. This is also the reason why central banks all over the world can artificially keep interest rates down for a while yet. Sooner or later they will need to increase interest rates significantly to avoid hyperinflation, but temporarily they can “stimulate” GDP “growth” through tricking people into keep borrowing. An increase in borrowing means that more people buy stuff they in reality cannot afford. Since it’s very cheap to borrow at the moment people – morons as they are – buy expensive things like real-estate and houses which in turn also increase GDP. All of this means that GDP numbers we read about and are told is “real” are, in fact, lower.
Are you with me so far? Because from here on out, it only get worse…
In GDP they also count services and, in affect, consumption. What your local politician and the central banks want you to believe is that an increase in consumption i.e. buying things; leads to an increase in services and more production and this equals higher GDP which in turn means we are getting richer. This is, of course, mainly a scam. Services can make our lives easier and help out with giving us more time over doing something else and, in this regard, services are a good thing. However, services are not the same is wealth; neither is a higher price a measurement of wealth. What you need to know is that wealth comes from production. If we want to be richer we need to produce more and/or faster and/or put in a lower effort in relation to production. Even if the production in industrialized countries per individual is very high today the total amount of production in relation to GDP is very low. In fact production in regard to the total economy has been decreasing and is still decreasing. In other words it is very hard for us to work ourselves out if this crisis. Instead “they” want us to borrow and spend ourselves out if the crisis, which might “work”, temporary, but as said; that is not wealth increase, only services and consumption increase which means that even if we halt the crisis we have actually created an even worse situation since the loans get higher and there is more money is in the system.
If you understand this so far, you now know that things can only get worse in regards to the economy, not better. But, of course, this is not the only problem. There is one even bigger coming to explode soon.
There is one thing in this world that can devastate entire towns, destroy crops, ruin a nation and bring forth the very worst elements in humanity. I’m not talking about wars or some influenza, I’m taking about hyperinflation.
Ever heard of the Weimar republic? Ever read about the money situation in Zimbabwe? If you read the newspapers today they talk about deflation, what “they” mean with that is lower prices, which in reality is a good thing. What our enemies are not mentioning, however, is where all the money they are using to finance all the stimuli and bail-outs really comes from. Some of it is borrowed money, but most comes from the printing machine. Yes, that’s right; they are printing money like crazies. When you increase the amount of notes and coins in the economy by many percent without having the correspondent increase in production all you are really doing is “fooling” the market and people that they have more money when in reality they actually have less money. So when trillions of dollars, pounds or Euros is just thrown out there, created from thin air, what do you think will happen?
If we look at the dollar - that is the world reserve currency at the moment - it was overvalued even before this crisis started. Thanks to China (and some others) that is buying American debt the value of the dollar is falsely kept up. And since the Obamination and his cronies are printing trillions of new dollars the value keeps dropping. So what will happen the day when no one longer wants to help the American scam? The dollar will close to collapse which means that the US debt will increases by lots which in turn means that all they really can do is print even more money! The only thing left for those in charge is the printing press. There is no real money left; the production rate is low, unemployment very high and interest rates already at zero. So only one thing to do: Print more money! This is what’s coming down the road and when the world reserve currency is collapsing and the US is defaulting towards its lenders, what will happen to the world economy? Yes, that’s right…
Now, back to the Swine Flu. The best thing that can happen is that we have a full bloody depression right now, not later. The further down this road we go, the worse its going to get. If the depression hits us with full force next year, as I have predicted, things will look much worse than today. So if this flu can increase the crisis and increase protectionism it might be the trigger that launches us into more despair and this is a good thing. The faster the depression hits us, the faster things go really bad, and the faster we also can get out of this mess.
If you think that the image that journalists are selling with tens of thousands dying from Swine flu is horrifying, just imagine what will happen when tens of millions are starving, unemployment reaches 25-30%, civil unrest hits the streets and we have food lines everywhere. Don’t kid yourself people, we are heading for a fall, the biggest depression ever seen is coming around the corner and if you have any sense of intellect you want it to hit now, not later when things are even worse.

The Obamination dropping like a stone
According to a new poll made in the US - that can be read here – Obama’s approval ratings continue to plummet. Earlier this year another poll told us that the US president had fallen behind the hairless W chimp compared to equivalent time in office. This is however worse since, among other things, his handling of the economy barely is supported by half of the respondents. A majority is also opposing another stimulus – which is already being planned by monkeys in Washington.
The most gladdening news, however, is that the number of independents is at a post-1981 high and that approval rating for the Obamination has dropped 9 points in this category. Since the republicans and democrats hardly differ in any big way this opens up a bit of floor space for other candidates that might drag in some rational thinking and the United States Constitution back into play.
Sadly the Obamination still has several years to ruin the economy both for the US and the rest of the world and that is all he needs. But at least a small glimmer of hope and finally people in the US is starting to wake up.

Have some perspective
According to a Swedish Government institution with a very short name: The Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control (SMI), somewhere between 200 and 4000 people die from influenza each year with between 2-20% of the population getting infected. A normal year Sweden faces about 1500 dead and about 10% infected. This means around 4 people dies every day from flu in my birth nation. This, however, is not really true since there is months were the flu strikes much harder so the number of dead/day during certain months is higher. According to those that supposedly know things about influenza this is what makes this swiney flue more dangerous because it has infected soooooo many during these summer months. Not that people don’t get flu during summer months, it has happen before and will happen again, but apparently this Hog Flu has something special about it. I have not figured out what yet, and so hasn’t anyone else, including WHO and our bellowed journalists, but there is still something, isn’t it?
That the gossip press with their brain-dead journalists now focus on some poor smuck in critical condition that may perhaps die should be checked against these facts and many more that has been mentioned by those that actually use rational thinking. No one is saying that this cannot become dangerous in the future, it is highly unlikely, but it can. What people should realize is that right now there is nothing special about this situation. Although it is sad hearing about some guy lying at the hospital and people here and there dies nothing is out of the ordinary despite what some representatives of our enemies would have you believe. In fact, even if the decease spreads faster and infect hundreds of thousands in Sweden (tens of millions worldwide) the death rate is so low there is hardly any reason for concern.
Let’s calculate the worst case scenario now shall we:
The death rate is today about 0,14% (and falling) in developed nations. Lets say 500 000 Swedes get infected as some news scare us might happen. This means that 7000 people might die. If we add the normal count of 1500 to this (which we really shouldn’t do) we get 8500 people or about the same amount of people that dies from tobacco related cases each year. And this is the worst case scenario! Ohhh… I’m so scared... Of course the media will never mention these facts and I predict they instead will blow up the numbers and/or mention the overall number for all nations because that is much scarier. Hearing 8500 might die isn’t so scary, but hearing that a couple of hundreds of thousands might die is a bit scary. So when people stop caring, again, about this Piggy Flu, this is what journalists will sell you next, in part they are already doing it.
Please people, have some perspective even if journalists don’t.

Of course they will
First our enemies’ band together to force through laws, restrictions and such to hinder free information flow. At the same time they create even more laws with the purpose to monitor and control the populace. Then they start to talk about registration policies and banning of certain phenomenon, like blogs, and now there is talk about how news and reports online might be subjugated to payment. Don’t get me wrong, if newspapers and the rest of the media want to charge people to read/see their stuff, I see no problem. But do you really think they will let the free media exist if that happens? Do you really think the laws and such will not expand to incorporate even, let’s say, your blog..?
Am I the only one seeing this unfolding?
Please remember we are in a depression and this will last for a very long while. There are dictators popping up like mushrooms in South- and Latin America. The former Eastern block is starting to look less and less like “former”. Almost the entire continent of Africa is totally screwed. In Europe we are rekindling the glory days of the 20’s and 30’s, only those funny little men in power is missing. North America is not coming to the rescue this time since the Obamination is ruing life on that continent. Several Asian countries also have their problems so basically there is nowhere left to run.
Where are those Alien invaders when you need ‘em?

Another dictator wannabe
In a world mowing toward the socialist waste basket South America moves even quicker. After seeing horrifying extremists and dictators like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, Bolivia’s Evo Morales and Ecuador’s Rafael Correa coming to power we got some glad and happy news when the Hondurans put an end to Zalayas plans, but now another one is trying to become dictator. In Nicaragua President Ortega is now calling for a change in Honduran law so he can be “re-elected” over and over again. Despite having done nothing to change Nicaragua’s extreme poverty this autocrat now wants to rule indefinitely.
Many one-time allies are accusing the idiot Ortega of pillaging public funds, oppressing critics and stealing elections as, they say, he comes to resemble the dictators of the past. There are lots of reports about mistreatment of media and even prosecution of dissidents and this is before Ortega reaches full dictatorial power. I hope someone kills these 5 gentlemen and as soon as possible but sadly that will not happen. Even if Ortega were to fail in his quest towards totalitarianism the road is set and there is no reason to believe this trend will halter. And even more sadly, South- and Latin America is probably only the first ones, I’m just wondering when other places in the world follows. Just look at East Europe for further examples of this trend. And the Obamination is making very good progress in the US. This world is rapidly becoming an even bigger cesspool than it is today so can we please have that apocalypse already.

What's next?
This is now beyond satire. I hardly manage to write what comes next before the next is already on the table. My status as an oracle is in jeopardy. Today we can read about how the Christ-democrats in Sweden are purposing a register for women who have done an abortion. This special catalog, in the hands of bureaucrats and politicians, will contain certifications, time frames and other “useful information” in an attempt to reduce the abortion ratio in Sweden. Our enemies’ ingenuity when it comes to conjuring up new surveillance perversions is going into overdrive.
I cannot find the specific suggestion, so I cannot say how this is meant to work. But I’m guessing the very thought of getting noted and written down by government official after a vacuuming session might make some females somewhat reluctant seeking up a doctor. Furthermore I’m thinking this register will be used in some way. Maybe the government will be sending out information-leaflets about sex to these women and tell them how to put on a condom? Maybe the Christ-democrats have an instruction manual how to drill a tight and enclosed glory hole in order to fulfill desires without spilling the seed inside a woman? I don’t know if the Christ-democrats coming up with such a suggestion can speak in tongues, but maybe that‘s one solution to the abortion issue; use the tongue and not your dick. In either case a spokesperson is claiming they want to know more about the reasons why “we” cannot prevent a high abortion ratio. And knowing this might make it easier to use tax money to focus the effort in a better way.
Me, I cannot help wondering what they are going to say to a 13 year old girl that got raped and pregnant. “Here you have a pamphlet how to put on a condom. Remember how next time”.
Or what are they going to say to a female that wanted a child but have become psychological fragile after doing an abortion because the fetus wasn’t viable? “Hey you, that is not good in the eyes of the Lord. You are going to burn in hell”.
This is just one in a long line of fascist proposals coming out of the “center-right” government lately and these are the guys that people rely on for less government. This time it will probably never be implemented because even the most fascist parliament in Sweden’s history seems to think this is too much. But this is not the end. After all the registering- perversities and all the new laws and regulations that is said to protect us from ourselves being fabricated lately, this will be the consequence. I have mentioned it before and I will mention it again; the government cannot and will not pull back once it gets started. Intrusions into our lives will continue to expand because with all these new restrictions for the Internet and personal freedom that’s the only thing they can do. A government will never admit being at fault and/or delete a law, at the very best they will change it or add some new rules or exceptions. Even if you think this abortion-surveillance suggestion isn’t that bad or has nothing to do with IPRED or ACTA, what do you think will come next?
Don’t kid yourself people, they are just getting started and firing up their engines and I, for one, cannot wait for what comes next.
I cannot find the specific suggestion, so I cannot say how this is meant to work. But I’m guessing the very thought of getting noted and written down by government official after a vacuuming session might make some females somewhat reluctant seeking up a doctor. Furthermore I’m thinking this register will be used in some way. Maybe the government will be sending out information-leaflets about sex to these women and tell them how to put on a condom?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Higher prices EU-style
While we are reached by other fine examples of “green shoots” in the economy - with Nokia and SonyEricsson showing really bad results and the Russians announcing that their economy shrank 10.1 per cent in the first half of this year - the EU has tons of money to waste. There is no secret that the agricultural policies of the European Union are based on socialist planning policies. Maybe the most obvious sign of this lunacy is the yearly support of billions to the tobacco industry at the same time as hundreds of millions are funnelled to convince people to stop smoking. So what to do in an economic worldwide crisis? Of course the enemies of the people residing within luxurious walls have other fun things like the Stockholm programme that is created with the purpose of turning all of us into drones under constant surveillance. But keeping to the agricultural policies; the EU, in a mad scheme to keep prices up (for some strange reason it’s a good thing if consumers pay higher prices) the übermenchen have decided to buy butter and skimmed milk powder for the amount of £24 million. These products are not meant to be used, eaten, handed out to the poor or anything of that sort, no, they are supposed to be “saved”. The main reason behind this, however, is to keep prices on those products up. So in the mist of a economic crisis the EU will use very well paid bureaucrats in order to divert stolen tax money to make consumers, that has less and less money, pay higher prices. This is capital destruction on so many levels that the real costs far excides the payment of £24 million. The enemy class has never shined brighter.

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

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

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

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

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

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