This is Not Party Politics

Well, not really party politics. It just so happens that the party currently in office (if not actually in power) gets to make all the traditional mistakes all over again - or at any rate gets to take the blame for them.

As always, it's all about the money. But what is money? It is purchasing power: the power to purchase what we need, or what we desire. 

But if what we need or desire is unobtainable ... then of what use is money?

In olden times, money represented goods that had been produced by members of the local community, goods which they then took to the local weekly market for sale. What they received in exchange was money - money that they then spent buying other goods that someone else had produced, in that same market, to meet their own particular needs. Money was simply a device for swapping and redistributing each others' goods, a device that replaced the need for complex bartering.

Markets now tend to be global rather than local, but the same exact principle remains relevant.

However, governments also step in to "improve" the system (particularly in modern times) by:

(a) employing people to do extra things (such as social services, law and order, and parliaments) that take people (that still need care and feeding) out of the productive part of the system, thus increasing the need for real production by everybody else, and coercing them to give up some of their earnings as tax in order to feed and care for these extras.

(b) borrowing money that doesn't represent any kind of production from central banks to pay ever more unproductive people to work on the government's pet projects such as innumerable useless Green Projects, White Elephant projects, and disastrous overseas adventures, many of which (on past form) fail well before adding any real value to the home population (were that ever on the cards).

(c) borrowing money that doesn't represent any kind of production from central banks to pay ever more unproductive people to work on the government's population control projects, which are now necessary in order for the government to stay in power, having totally ruined the economy by taking so many people out of the necessary productive endeavours that there is no longer enough production to keep the majority of the population out of destitution.

(d) I'll leave this as an exercise for the reader ...  there is no shortage of notions to choose from.

But back to the current reality ...

Prof Marandi updates us on the latest situation.

As always, the battle is fought in the minds of the protagonists - minds that may not be fully rational.

" ... the West is willing to annihilate the Palestinian people ..."

"If the Americans want this over, they can do it ... it's not difficult ... they have the means ... "

" ... the United States and Europeans have no intention of stopping ... "

"Israel can kill as many Palestinians and Lebanese as they want, but they are not going to win"

Such a suggestion requires a very authoritative source - but Ole Dammegard is just such a source, having spent many years investigating the false flags of this world - and he has had no shortage of such instances upon which to hone his investigative skills.

But if we cannot believe the Julian Assange / Wikileaks story, what can we believe?

See what you think ...

It's hard to argue with Neil, so I won't.

Yes, we've heard it all before, but this is as close to throwing his toys out of the pram that I have seen our normally serene and civilised Neil approach.

"The legal definition of genocide is the committing of acts with the intention to destroy a people"

But is Ed Miliband stupid? (Is he even real?)

See what you think.

Wireless Radiation - Still Unhealthy?

It seems an age since Tom Wheeler (then FCC chairman) pledged to bypass all safety concerns and roll-out 5G to the USA and the world (in the process making a ton of profit for the US telecoms industry).

" ... Rule nbr 1: the technology should drive the policy rather than the policy should drive the technology ... "

" ... if the Commission approves my proposal next month, the United States will be the first country in the world to open up high-band spectrum for 5G networks and applications - and that's damn important because ... US Companies will be the first out of the gate"

"Unlike some countries, we do not believe that we should spend the next couple of years studying what 5G should be, or how it should operate ... turning innovators loose is far preferable to expecting committees and regulators to define the future ... "

"To make this work, the 5G infrastructure ... will require massive deployment of small cells ... "

Full 2016 speech:

(60 minutes)

 

He acknowledges 5G to be a vastly different proposition from the original 1G/2G/3G cell-phone bands, yet ignores any implications for human health.

Still today, those who believe that wireless technology is inherently dangerous are routinely ignored, and the safety guidelines are still based upon the original safety tests that were based upon the heating effect of 1G/2G/3G technology.

Wi-Fi connected phones and laptop computers are now ubiquitous, along with a precipitous decline in the birth rate (which may be due to a combination of factors, but a child or adult sitting with a laptop on their knees in close proximity to their reproductive organs is assuredly unlikely to be helpful).
