Small Bites: 700 - 799

700. There is a fundamental necessity for a lesser educated majority. Who else would do the 'labour'?

701. UK rendered impotent through defence cuts. Paradoxically, in the rise of alleged terrorism, reducing ordnance.

702. Inherited petrol duty from Labour.

703. Spend to beat VAT rise? People are 'savvy'.

704. Increased export is growth. Illustrates redistribution.

705. American conditional financial support to Egypt (important focus in Middle East) shows that the purse is king.

706. If all the 'money' has gone then where is it? Although money cannot be created the illusion perpetuates and paradoxically exists somewhere.

707. The more is the 'failure to create' the financial market will continue to tighten its grip on destroying that creativity potential. The faster the end will arrive.

708. Unless attitude changes, exploring exoplanets as a source of human survival is doomed before it can begin. The few who could benefit is overwhelmed by almost everybody else. Moving $£billions to fail again. Stay on Earth and rethink. The correct option is not necessarily the easiest.

709. The reproducibility of Earth's environment can never be a reality. Everything changes. Always. It's  people that don't change.

710. Osborne pontificates as a multimillionaire-baronetcy-in-waiting, but appears to have no idea of the reality of the majority, though is in prime position to impose changes to benefit the minority:

Wikipedia

  • Osborne married The Hon. Frances Victoria Howell (b. 18 February 1969), author and elder daughter of former and current Conservative Cabinet Minister Lord Howell of Guildford, on 4 April 1998. The couple have two children, Luke Benedict, born at Westminster, London, on 15 June 2001, and Liberty Kate, born at Westminster, London, on 27 June 2003. He has an estimated personal fortune of around £4 million, as the beneficiary of a trust fund that owns a 15% stake in Osborne & Little, the wallpaper-and-fabrics company co-founded by his father, Peter Osborne.
Cameron, David
    711. Mayan prophesy of 2012 being an end date to work towards is possibly just being exploited to make it appear true. Engineered. Coincidences don't happen often. Global financial system has ultimately failed caused by greed and too many want too much. That's the belief, but consider explicitly altering movements. The rich become richer at the expense of increased poverty. Debt can no longer hide the failure. The redistribution of wealth has left little to still be moved. Money (wealth) cannot be created, but only redistributed, but debt is simple to create. There is no way forwards as the majority of the ever growing (consumer) population has decreasing 'wealth' that it never actually possessed. The wealthy have the majority simply... owing. It's all an illusion that has real psychological pain. Creativity does not exist within the virtual world of finance, so the vacuum left by the almost completed redistribution has finally exposed the illusion. This all makes the prophecy 'true'. Some sort of perverse goal. Some people need goals, but any creative nature is absent.

    712. The government's relentless fixation only on the alleged and potentially engineered economic crisis strongly suggests Osborne has a hidden agenda. The irreparable damage inflicted on society will happen. Is happening. The continual justification (for over a year) of the 'deficit inherited from the last government' is vacuous and nauseating. Even if true. Any genuine attempt that could be made must have scope to ease up and reduce the damage now being done. The fact that the reverse is happening reveals the 'hidden' agenda.

    713. Commentators only 'explain' and throw bullshit everywhere. How things might work, but patently do not. (How does raising interest rates control inflation? Note: control inflation and not reduce it. Controlling inflation can mean ensuring it continues to increase. The financial world creates nothing and cannot advance human knowledge. That all never goes anywhere, but by simply moving wealth around gives the appearance of progress. Illusion and delusion.

    714. If banks can 'make' £24bn profit and pay bonuses of £6bn, how is it the banks needed bailing out with £100s bns taxpayer 'loan'? Smells as bad as a rancid government and its politicians.

    715. Day care cost makes working almost irrelevant as earnings eaten up. An example of redistribution. Nothing created, but just ownership transferred. Legal enforcement to ensure payment of service (VATable?) provided.

    716. Prisoners being punished should have selected (human) rights denied. Rehabilitation does not require this. Dishonesty must not be rewarded with 'rights'. Those who earn their own reward are generally penalised through more taxes and less allowances. Perhaps it is reasoned that they can afford it.

    717. Immigration relaxation forces multiculturalism.

    718. Egypt and a quiet army? Waiting to see how power evolves and then jump.

    719. Contributing is exemplified every time a charity is supported, especially through foreign aid. People living in poverty in the UK, yet £bns leave the UK. Helping a foreign government to help itself is not acceptable, but there is perceived political advantage.

    720. Aircraft can be built. Airmen need to be trained and it can take around - 4 years. Trimming down aircrew to match 'plane numbers is illogical.

    721. Commerce creates the illusion of failure mirroring the 'financial crisis'. The consumer is required to believe this state to make the illusion work. The result is less (wages) for more (work). The minimum wage ethic. More people out of work as advancements in (computerised) automation continues to make things worse. The commercial picking fields increase. The number of consumers increases as do their needs and desires that cannot be funded except through their increasing debt. This can never be sustained. Too many feed from the constantly decreasing-sized cake. The parasite takes and returns nothing making the cake smaller and smaller. Virtual money is the smoke and mirrors that everyone is expected to look through, but not see through. The feeding parasite goes nowhere and still creates nothing. Just continues to feed its gluttony.

    722. Property market engineered in the money laundering schemes. Virtual money enables this to work.

    723. Gaddafi seems to believe that he owns the country (Libya) and its people. Politicians don't realise that logic is irrelevant. The man's out of control. Mad. The need to keep hold of power is psychotic. The Gaddafi model has paradoxically been exploited in the name of terrorism.

    724. The world is a naturally dangerous place. As the population increases and remains in a fixed location within a dynamic world, buildings become more vulnerable especially in known earthquake zones. These are unpredictable, but still inevitable.

    725. Equality still surfaces, but men don't have babies. Continuity of service is a major factor and being available is not possible by working at home.

    726. RBS £1.1bn losses with bonuses of £950m. Not moving budgets. British Gas: £740m (24% up) profits, yet energy prices continue to continually rise. Is the connection between the rise in prices and profits so difficult to comprehend. All the rhetoric about the explanation being more complicated (the 'complexities') is a simple smokescreen.

    727. When did banks become commercial concerns rather than storage vaults? Money must make more money. Bootstrap scenario.

    728. Gaddafi 'should go now' avoids war crimes charge. The 'not president' king must believe he owns Libya and its people.

    729. Road tax no longer pays for the maintenance of the roads. It's been relabelled car vehicle excise duty: a straightforward tax.

    730. Strangle through dependency. Fuel is a necessity as culture has evolved to require it. VAT will never be removed as it remains the last tax to be applied to fuel after all the other rises.

    731. The huge bankers' back door salary increase (bonus): where do you imagine it comes from? Taxing bonuses does nothing to change the culture.

    732. Amortisation: 12% annually leaving 11% still payable for rest of year. Interest is additional.

    733. Containment of radioactivity. Similar levels to stomach scan? A scan is momentary. Explosive 'spill' is continuous. The hazards are being politically underplayed. This could torpedo nuclear power plans. Awareness has been raised.

    734. The awful irony of man-made war against nature: Japan and Libya.

    735. The bluff has been called: the CO2 con against the push for extremely dangerous nuclear 'option'.

    736. Once again, the minority that has 'power' will resort to tactical war to thwart the desire of the majority who want freedom from oppression.

    737. Politicians imagine they know about 'how to make money', but they do not generally understand the realities of science. Politicians are such 'smart' people

    738. Buy a ticket for the Olympics in 500 days' time, but pay by June of the previous year.

    739. Nuclear disaster in Japan: the entire issue is played down by government. No danger to human life. Until the power station explodes. A 30-mile radius of safety? If it blows then the entire world is exposed to the radiation. Nuclear power is deadly. It cannot be controlled once the fission is initiated. 'Moderated', but never controlled. And the results last for 1000s of years. One disaster and the rot sets in. No return. The journey has gone beyond the 'tipping point'. Chernobyl happened. The effects will be felt until (hu)Man destroys Man and all life on Earth. It’s inevitable in the pursuance of the filthy lucre. The needs of the growing human population must always be met while it grows.

    740. The slow-motion US government action to an unexpected and rapid series of problems in N. Africa is suggestive of advanced warning and preparedness in Iraq. Oil.

    741. The Saudi Sunni (minority) royal family supports the Bahrain.

    742. Why oil and not solar or lunar (tidal) and why not examine these? You can't drive a car on solar power. The energy from the Sun in one day would provide enough energy to drive the worlds needs for year (around 1,400 megawatts solar energy per square km). The car is king. The car has priority because of the money making potential.

    743. The 'fact' that nothing is repayable until earnings reach £21,000 continues to be used as justification to sanction an increase of tuition fees (mostly - DA) up to £9000. It's predictable that most will charge this and ignore the alleged 'guidance' that only in exceptional cases should such an application be made with a strong argument to defend the proposed tuition charge. This is so naive as to be a joke. Of course they'll all want to charge the maximum or very near it. Justification? Because they can. A loan (creation of debt) of up to £9000 (from 2012) every year has increased by about 200%. Up from the current (2010) fee of £3290. (Why not introduce rises from September 2011? DA.) Add to the ‘buried’ future on-costs, the clearly ‘up front’ cost of accommodation: between £3,500 and £4000. That a rise in tuition fees can even be considered is incredible. If council tax, or the license to watch propaganda on TV (fee), increased by 200%, then there would be class warfare on a scale that could lead to major civil unrest in England unknown in living memory. Historically, the initial outrage and furore eventually dies down, but when the majority has their daily pattern and routine forcibly changed the reaction to issues would not go away. Selection of one part of society at any on time only demonstrates the cynicism. Another part maybe... tomorrow. But never the patrician classes.

    744. Government taking fair share of oil company profit. This does not face up to reducing the profit. The higher the profit allowed then the greater the government 'share'. Highly cynical.

    745. USA pushes cost onto NATO to patrol no-fly zone in Libya.

    746. Now is a good time to reveal the discovery of oil under the Sahara. The instability across N. Africa is a requirement before the supply ownership can be officially redirected. Instability is exacerbated by arguments amongst those supposedly on the 'rebels' side. This is all being massaged and engineered. The allies (rebels) could well one day become the enemy

    747. Jetlag is a very disturbing phenomenon. The cause is an unnaturally rapid change in the dark-light cycle duration. Which is worse: E-W or W-E? Summertime clock changes are a forced wrench.

    748. More financial bailouts to prop up a totally discredited global financial system. Spend £$bns to sustain growth. Ludicrously engineered 'logic'. As a paradox it cannot be more risable. 'Money' is moved around (redistributed) and is tantamount to theft by would-be stealth, but actually the complete opposite. The only aspect that is sustained is the ... financial system.

    749. Tax coding errors? Maybe. But the threat could support a simpler system? Maybe.

    750. Children don't have a childhood anymore, but they are simply regarded as the future 'money makers'. Start learning the rules as early as possible and meet expectation targets. Free-learning is a longer and more enjoyable process whereas forced learning creates pressure and resentment, but a child is unaware of these consequences. Something enjoyable can become a lifelong affair. Forced and it is always a chore and will end as soon as possible.

    751. Rent vs buy?

    752. Tuition fees: government continues to make great play of the delay before paying back the loans (£21,000). This admits that starting salaries are well below the alleged 'average salary' (£26,000). The deferment of repayment increases the amount repayable and this is then like a mortgage or credit card debt: huge interest over a very long term, currently up to 30 years. There is no guarantee that this will not in the future be extended.

    753. The BBC pronuciation of Fukushima is now a soft '...shimmer' ending from the hard '...sheema'. This can be interpreted as an attempt to divert attention from Hiroshima and alluding to the nuclear bomb in 1945. It's been done before: hard 'o' and 'i' in Hiroshima or Hiroshimmer. Crude.

    754. The logic of keeping someone alive, yet condemning self to poverty and misery is perverse. But this is what people do when it comes to family. An old person with the modern consequences of age commonly suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's disease. This presupposes that the link is purely age and not caused by some form of modern pollution. The range of chemicals people are exposed to nowadays is enormous and growing. Radioactivity has been around for decades (1945: Hiroshima and Nagasaki.1957: Windscale, 1986: Chernobyl). The quality of older life is concomitantly declining. The mental suffering of one partner causes psychological suffering in the other. It's odd that one partner generally does not have the 'dis-ease'. Financially, the cost is enormous running into several £100s a week. The shoring up of an old car is regarded as a poor idea. When it comes to people, money is poured in to keeping the old-age sufferer alive, but in a non-aware state. The expense is great and the outcome is inevitable. We are born without our permission and also condemned to die needing others' assistance. To actively help is illegal. Suicide is illegal. The parasitical nature of human greed makes it a clear case of staying alive costs money. A living person has wealth amassed throughout a lifetime, but a dead person has no value. After death wealth is redistributed through inheritance after the 'taxman'. Before death, such wealth as it may be is vulnerable to predators.

    755. How does raising interest rates control inflation and not accelerate it? Raising interest rates can only make borrowing cost more. It is unlikely to deter the average borrower who needs money. To raise the cost to business can only affect commercial growth. This has always been a crude 'anomaly'. Or it can allow the wealthy business to grow at the expense of the poorer competition .

    756. What qualifies a GP to become responsible for budgets NHS? Are medical people automatically qualified to be accountants.

    757. 100s £m international aid, but a paltry £2m to assist humanitarian evacuation from Libya. Clearly, the immediate threat is a much lower priority to the future (unknown) long-term

    758. One person/one vote (FPTP) is outright rejection if the vote fails. AV at least carries the voter forward to still be counted.

    759. Modern parlance has the common phrase: not acceptable, but this is actually meaningless except to infer that nothing needs to be done.

    760. The 'west' definition of democracy attempts to impose this ideal onto people. It's not welcome.

    761. All the creeping interest in the sexual activities of celebs can only be outdone by that of many, many others who are not 'famous'. It's part of human nature that sex is dominant. Without it there would be no human life. Look to all other creatures.

    762. How is it that rewarding convicted criminals by providing them with superior conditions to those law-abiding non-criminals who must provide for themselves is a deterrent against criminal behaviour? It simply educates the convicted criminal that their behaviour gets free life-keep. The sooner they return to prison the better it is for them. They can get everything for absolutely nothing. Crime pays very well when they get caught and convicted. When released from prison the ex-cons must support themselves. But why bother? Get caught and be sent back inside as soon as possible. The convict's life inside prison is easier and better than being free outside. It's an sick irony: in prison for free vs paying for freedom when outside.

    763. The Lord Mayor of Manchester has allegedly funded a £37,000 party at tax payers' expense. This appears to be another example of simply currying favour at others' expense. Its tawdry. It's disgusting. It's appalling. It's the politics of the 'elected' 'classes'. Perhaps the delusion is that this is the House of (Manchester) Lords?

    764. The American debt 'crisis' is currently about $14.6 trillion. The USA is probably needing a loan.  How many American citizens are requesting a loan? Millions probably since they need them as a direct result of the government 'obligations'. But, who or what has enough finance to support a loan? Where could it come from? 'Create' some money. The concept of virtual money explains this. There is no 'real' money. Never was. Anywhere. It's now being done by 'electronic' credit. Almost invisible. The whole corrupt financial system is debt-based. It's been a failed system for a long, long time and now the consequences of failure are being felt by the majority. It's the pain that's been coming for a long, long time. This, a country regarded as an economy world leader: debt = $14.6 trillion.

    765. "It is possible to now understand completely what I've been told, but I don't believe or accept a single word of it." - LB

    766. Christine Lagarde and the very noble IMF. The Parasite's Tree and where the money 'grows'.

    767. The Story of the Fed Is a Story of a Crime

    768. Not building on green belt land is euphemistically called 'protecting the environment'. It is more like protecting landowners from urbanisation and 'taking' the protected countryside. It's all owned by somebody from royalty downwards, but stopping before Joe Public (common man).

    769. The concept of virtual money and its redistribution demonstrate evidence to claim that the financial crisis and the consequential austerity measures (cuts) are all engineered events. The objective is to move real wealth (based on gold) to the already wealthy and leave the fiction of virtual money to everyone else. Gold will not deteriorate/degrade/decompose and will last for a very, very long time. Essentially forever but all else will eventually disappear. Coinage (alloys) will not last for more than a few hundred years at best. The result is a division of the minority who have all the really ‘valuable’ metals and the majority who have the electronic virtual money that is absolutely worthless. It’s WWIII (literally on a global scale) without shedding of blood of the slaves. And it’s invisible. And billions are totally unaware of what’s happening.

    770. Government taking fair 'share' of oil company profit. This does not face up to reducing the profit. The higher the profit allowed then the greater the government 'share'. Highly cynical.

    771. USA pushes cost onto NATO to patrol no-fly zone (Libya).

    772. Now is a good time to reveal the discovery of oil under the Sahara. Or just leave it all secret until a 'better time'. The instability across N. Africa is a requirement before the supply ownership can be officially redirected. Instability is exacerbated by arguments amongst those supposedly on the rebels' side. This is all being massaged and engineered. The entire scenario could be an invasion. Possibly await an outcome in Syria.

    773. Jetlag is a very disturbing phenomenon. The cause is an unnaturally rapid change in the dark-light cycle duration. Summertime clock changes are a forced wrench: indirect jetlag-type effect.

    774. More financial bailouts to prop up a totally discredited global financial system. Spend £$bns to sustain growth. Ludicrously engineered 'logic'. As a paradox, it cannot be more risable. 'Money' is moved around (redistributed) and is tantamount to theft by would-be stealth, but actually the complete opposite.

    775. Tax coding errors? Maybe. But just the threat could support a simpler system? Maybe.

    776. Children don't have a childhood anymore, but they are simply regarded as the future 'money makers'. That is, not to make money, but be the source from which money is to be made. Start learning the rules as early as possible and meet expectation targets. Free-learning is a longer and more enjoyable process whereas forced learning creates pressure and resentment, but a child is unaware of these consequences. Something enjoyable can become a lifelong affair. Forced and it is always a chore and will end as soon as possible.

    777. Rent vs buy?

    778. Tuition fees: government continues to make great play of the delay before paying back the loans (£21,000). This admits that starting salaries are well below the alleged 'average salary' (the £26,000 is probably more like £15,000). The deferment of repayment increases the amount repayable and this is then like an interest only mortgage: huge interest over a very long term, currently up to 30 years. There is no guarantee that this will not in the future be extended. It almost certainly will be, just when? Every year a new crop of debtors will be made.

    779. The BBC pronuciation of Fukushima is now a soft '...shima' ending from the hard '...sheema'. This attempts to divert attention from Hiroshima and alluding to the nuclear bomb in 1945. It's been done before: hard 'o' and 'i' in Hirosheema or Hiroshima (Hirroshimma). Crude.

    780. The logic of keeping someone alive, yet condemning self to poverty and misery is perverse. But this is what people do when it comes to family. An old person with the modern consequences of age commonly suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's disease. This presupposes that the link is purely age and not caused by some form of modern pollution. The range of chemicals people are exposed to nowadays is enormous and growing. Radioactivity has been around for decades (1945: Hiroshima and Nagasaki1957: Windscale or 1986: Chernobyl). The quality of older life is concommitantly declining. The mental suffering of one partner causes psychological suffering in the other. It's odd that one partner does not have the 'dis-ease'. Financially, the cost is enormous running into several £100s a week. Shoring up of an old car is regarded as a poor idea, but when it comes to people, money is poured in to keeping the old-age sufferer alive, though in a non-aware state. The expense is great and the outcome is inevitable. We are born without our permission and also condemned to die needing others' assistance. To actively help is illegal. Suicide is illegal. The parasitical nature of human greed makes it a clear case of staying alive costs money. A living person has wealth amassed throughout a lifetime, but a dead person has no value. The money to be made from this approach is enormous. After death wealth is redistributed through inheritance after the 'taxman' has grabbed a cut. Before death, such wealth as it may be, is vulnerable to predators, especially governmental 'authority'.

    781. How can raising interest rates control inflation and not accelerate it?

    782. What qualifies a GP to oversee and be responsible for budgets within the NHS? Doctors are trained in medical matters. Accountants have knowledge of finance. But then, doctors (in the surgery) go where accountants do not.

    783. 100s £m international aid, but a paltry £2m to assist humanitarian evacuation from Libya.

    784. One person/one vote, first past the post (fptp) is rejection of voter if choice loses. The Alternative Vote (AV) at least carries the voter forward to still be counted.

    785. A common phrase is 'not acceptable', but this means nothing and defines nothing. Nothing needs to be done.

    786. The 'west' definition of democracy attempts to impose this ideal onto people. It's not welcome and it's undemocratic. Typical hypocrisy and perversity.

    787. All the creeping interest in the sexual activities of 'celebs' can only be outdone by that of many, many others who are not 'famous'. It's part of human nature that sex is dominant. Without it there would be no human life. Who cares? Look to all other creatures.

    788. Politicians' technique is to keep talking and so preventing interruption. Probable reason for repetition: cannot think of an answer to fill a potential silence where a question could be asked.

    789. As population swells, oppression increases. The minority 'ruling' class is increasingly threatened by a growing 'ruled' class. Explains growing conflict. Logically, this will peak and so the growth in global population will be restrained. Power bases will shift territories. In the interim, the wealth required to pay for this comes from other nations.

    790. Politics is all about the art of deception and persuasion and not about truth and honesty.

    791. Austerity and financial 'crisis' are clearly manipulation of global wealth both real and virtual. Acquisition of gold-based 'real wealth' to the minority and virtual money (worthless) to everyone else. In any case value has no actual meaning, just a conditioned perception. Barter is a more realistic option and this shows that the NUT have not been duped by the 'austerity cuts' and (probable) manipulation could (possibly) be suspected.

    792. $£9 for an unseen (telephone bid) possibly fake piece of pottery. It may be genuine, but a more careful examination would be expected. Suggests money laundering.

    793. Politicians cannot be trusted to deliver on promises, so why should money markets? It appears to be a double standard: lie to the public, but not to the financial markets.

    794. Religion is an irrelevance except for its use in controlling people. The real truth is hidden in the dynamics of space. Not on Earth, but literally far from it. The local solar system within the local galaxy could well have been 100,000s of light years away in another region of space. Anywhere that could support life ('as we know it'). The real issue concerns the remoteness of suitable environments that came together with the seeds of life. How?

    795.10s of 1000s of mummified bodies found in Egypt could be the mass graves of indigenous inhabitants murdered by an extra-terrestrial race. Infection could possibly be prevented by the process.

    796. The culling of the human race leaves a small elite in possession of true wealth: gold and possibly diamonds. Oil has no intrinsic value, though it doesn't deteriorate. Synthetic oil and diamonds don't come into the equation at all. Even those who imagine themselves rich possess only valueless 'virtual' currency.

    797. Why grow a population and then kill it? Experience and knowledge. The workers of the 'hive' are expendable once the purpose for their existence has been served. Method: drugs (young) and 'flu-jab introduction (old). The body is inanimate chemicals, but the spiritual presence in every physical body is captured. This is the value of the human - not the perceived (by the human) and non-existent 'wealth'. Rich people are deluded. The element gold has value because of its indestructibility.

    798. An 'alien' would help Man to destroy radioactive waste. To 'make money' or 'create wealth', a blind minority section could then destroy Earth (and itself).

    799. What evidence is there that Man is some kind of special being? None. Intelligence has enabled a greater potential only for survival, but paradoxically it has also provided a greater potential for self-destruction and the destruction of everything else. It's own kind and other species. Intelligence, reasoning and self-awareness (vanity) are the major downfalls. Bizarrely, these are regarded as strengths. Other creatures have far greater capabilities than Man and in terms of survivability a cockroach or a scorpion have been around for an estimated +300m years. Man? About 1m. Modern Man? Something like 100,000 years. The creature called Man is well down the order of the required 'intelligence' for survival. Man has a very limited time on Earth and is the most incapable of survival. Fish can breathe in water. Man cannot. Spiders and ants have qualities that reduce a human to something of a much lesser standing.
