People now entertain with images. They don't swap ideas but argue with emotions not critical thinking. They promote celebrities, Ads & virtues. Is this why Western civilisation is dying?
It's not because 99% of MPs are stupid that the last man standing should become stupid.
At the end of each civilization, 99% of the apparatchiks disappear and give way to a new society.
This MP is the seed of a new UK. Get ready for the emerging revolution in the UK!
There is one in Australia too.
Fasten your seat belt because the road is going to be bumpy!
Queensland Senator Malcolm Roberts becomes the first Western politician to say it how it is - Crimes Against Humanity:
‘This unprecedented betrayal of the Australian People must be referred immediately to a Royal Commission. To the Prime Minister, the Health Minister, the federal health department, and all those in the Senate and House of Representatives, all of you who have perpetrated this crime, I direct one question. How the HELL did you expect to get away with it? We’re not going to let you get away with it. We’re coming for you, we have the stamina to hound you down, and we damn well will!’
Brilliant 'N' thank you so much for this stirring call to action. My good friend at BOOM is in Brisbane and I am sure he will be energised to hear such exalting words in the land of plenty - good on him. I shall relish the video for posterity.
I really do fervently pray that the apathetic Brits rise to the occasion like the French - but maybe that's asking too much!
The French have socialism in their bones....and good for them. Kropotkin pointed out some aspects of this in need of revision, but thank god for the French rising to the occasion.
The brits seem most pathetic and the UK is toast....truly, the UK is a contradiction in terms and my recipe is for Ireland to return to its namesake....call it Erin, call it an island, but Ireland ought be made whole. As for the rest of the UK, they can decide what they want to do with themselves, but the Scots are a joke the Welsh most confused and the baths and Bath are polluted I reckon with those who don't understand history?
LOL - you are so right Ken. Ireland must be unified - it's an island of itself, with its own culture and language,and should never have been divided. Now we have raging Protestants v Catholics - history tells the story but nobody reads it these days. Short version:
Likewise, I support independence for Scotland and Wales as they have a Celtic origins and their own culture & language (unseen most of the time). England was land of the Anglo Saxons after the Romans left around 500AD (who both took it from the Celts - the original Brits).
I think England needs to be regionalised, the central London base of control disbanded with the north and south ruling themselves according to their cultures (common language) based on the Anglo Saxon model of common law.
The Viking invaders from the Nordic lands arrived around 850AD (climate change). After a battle or two the land was divided: West (Wessex - the West Saxons); S.East (Essex - the East Saxons); South (Sussex - the South Saxons). The Vikings took the whole eastern block from York in the north - to Suffolk in the south (the South Folk). Mercia was left in the middle as a salient, and spent most of its time fighting the Vikings and attempting to rule the Saxons.
Then the Normans arrived in 1066AD - they stole all the land from the Saxons and the Vikings, unified Britain and created the aristocracy (old money) who rule today. King William (the Conqueror) logged all the land in the Doomsday Book in 1085 in order to tax the peasants. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Domesday-Book/
The United Kingdom has four legal systems, each of which derives from a particular geographical area for a variety of historical reasons: English and Welsh law, Scots law, Northern Ireland law,
All our common laws actually stem from the Anglo Saxons who copied much of Roman law. This was all corrupted by the Normans (who were Vikings, but spoke a bastard French). This allowed the Normans to plot among themselves without the peasants having a clue about what was going on. They created all the oppressive laws of today.
Our diplomatic language remains French today and public schools (your private ones) teach French, Latin and Greek to this very day because we are the ones chosen to rule as my professors never ceased telling us.
That is a stupendous post and wonderful and I got nothing to add except this - it was on the tee-shirt my wife purchased for me when she visited England last summer and must of been close to you and this is what it says:
"Always be yourself unless you can be a Viking - then always be a Viking"
I think I must be a Viking in a way, but more than that I think by definition Ireland is an island and if the island is not together, then a half-wit island it must be is what the viking in me thinks!
I had my genome analysed because my eldest son is married to a scientist and she offered to test the family. I am 90% Viking as also are most of my children (my heritage is from the east of England).
I am true to my ancestors in that my love is for farming (smallholder), nature and natural things like health etc, and of course sailing and fishing. Not sure about the raping ,looting and pillaging though! :-)
During the 2008 crisis I worked for a regional family owned bank that had survived the great depression. They told us that the bank did not deal in derivatives, so we had no worries. What they said turned out to be true.
Our account was in a regional bank, and a good one. I found out later that a number of them, including ours, were running under the umbrella of Wells Fargo Bank. I don't know how much this practice is widespread.
I would guess quite often Greg. As subsidiaries they would be subject to plunder if WF gets in trouble and would likely be abandoned if the regionals have problems. The safe model is N. Dakota but TPTB will oppose this to the death IMHO.
I use our mega bank HSBC for everyday convenience transactions and a Credit Union/Premium Bonds for liquid safe-keeping. Buy my hard assets are PMs, land (SA), and off-shore in safer places B/c GBP is losing as are all fiats. The FT has a boring read:
I got an account with Wells Fargo and I'm thinking about removing all my funds while I still can. Between now and then I think I'll go ahead and spend what is there before the money either becomes worthless are gets subsumed.
What I think I'm going to do is get all the funds I have in the bank's keeping, and I don't trust the bailouts nor the bailins, and I think I'm gonna remove my funds there and put them into something real. I think the time is coming for me to acquire another piece of property and maybe I will go for a monopoly of 3 in a row.....
Now, that is probably a pipe dream, but I think the time to use funds available to obtain real goods of value is upon the discerning depositor because not a one of us wants fiat when all good faith has been lost.
But amongst the banks, credit is becoming a problem.....
If it is a problem for them, just a matter of time before it is for all of us, and being they have proven they will steal funds from Canadian Trucker supporters on a small-scale and Russia, the actual sovereign country of it on a large-scale, I think the evidence is in - the bankers are not to be trusted.
LOL - I wish it were so BB but my guess is that they are fiendishly cunning, a trait of all psychopaths, and thus I will treat them with due respect. General Sun Tzu advises: "Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated." I continue to know my enemy and trust in God.
LOL - yes Greg - he writes long-copy but powerful stuff IMHO - Love his approach to life and The Fourth Turning - it is all working as predicted by Strauss & Howe.
I have published them and it is published above.....but I'll admit, I typed it on the fly and I had to look up "joed" myself after I typed it.....and I think it was the name of somebody in the bible - and "robbing" was an aspect of its meaning, but I'm not sure that catches it all.
As far as BoJo is concerned - that guy is like ridiculing the whole english isles....England is a shadow of itself and needs to find new meaning. I think you and I can agree on that. I think we desire both of us similar things including local commerce and local business and local choices made locally.
I think BoJo is a big clown upon all of humanity and the fact that he went there personally to prevent peace at the table is most telling.
Thanks Ken, yes we are agreed but until the crisis is crystallised not much will improve, after which I hope localisation will take over. I am writing about BoJo's character defects this week if I have enough space, what with all the goings on at present. BOOM's post will come tomorrow with some good stuff on Crypto.
I've placed my order for the coin priced much less than from the source direct whether it be the "West Point" mint or not. The thing about "crystallization" is that it occurs very rapidly - much quicker then most expect or even think possible.
The bankers are on notice, we know you are in trouble, and we will NOT bail you out.
Good riddance central bankers of harm and fiat currency in general and MMT in particular - flawed ideas destined to the dustbin of history.
I've gonna elsewhere to make the purchase, but my efforts have been stymied, but if I am nothing else, I am determined, and I want another buffalo coin, so I will get it.
...and you will - I am sure Ken. BOOM knows it's a scam but plays the game anyway - with care I might add. Don't forget silver coins though - must have something for trading.
In general I'd just assume keep the silver coins, the modest amount of them, I have acquired, but if push comes to shove I will have them at my disposal because they will be literally in hand.
The thing that is different between silver versus fiat is one can be held in hand and the other tis based upon nothing but good faith. I'd just assume have coin in hand even though I'd rather barter for good provided or services rendered as the case may be.
That's a good way of viewing it 'N'. I am a great believer in cycles and it seems that the universe also complies. Nature is cyclical in most respects and conforms to the Fibonacci sequence. So I think you have a good answer. https://www.uen.org/themepark/cycles/nature.shtml
"A generational cycle lasts 100 years (the length of a human life) and goes through four turnings, which occur every 20 years as all living generations enter a new life stage (childhood, young adulthood, midlife, elderhood). Every cycle ends with a Crisis (the fourth turning)."
My good friend Jim Quinn at The Burning Platform writes about 'The Fourth Turning' (book by Strauss & Howe) often and has pinned down:
"The damage they caused and the unintended consequences they unleashed will have a profound negative impact on the world forever. The animosity, mistrust, fear, and suffering created by those running this shitshow will fuel the coming chaos, havoc and war which always arrives during the waning years of a Fourth Turning. "
Marvellous links 'N' thanks a million - yes, the geopolitical plates are indeed moving and with a momentum that surprises me. I had thought we had years to adjust - I think not so much now. In the past Empires tended to decline gradually but in these times of instantaneous communication (viz SVB) perhaps we don't have as much time as we had thought?
The Tweets are so good 'N', I have include them in next week's 'Letter' in the Fun Tidbit - thanks mate :-) Plus, sneak tip - look out for the April fool..!
The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) - What does this mean?
How can an institution capitalized at $30 Billion insure $9 Trillion in deposits?
The financial system is in an unstable steady state since 1971 (fiat!). You just need a small wind to send it into the pit.
Nobody should trust this junk...
NB: Panama does not have a Central Bank, meaning that their banks fight to survive by avoiding risky bets.
You are right 'N' as always! I had always assumed that ALL countries had Rothschild central banks because they own the world. Good on Panama - is this a beacon? https://panamarelocationtours.com/panama-has-no-central-bank

I had my genome analysed because my eldest son is married to a scientist and she offered to test the family. I am 90% Viking as also are most of my children (my heritage is from the east of England).

TCW provides excellent daily posts, but I alternate between feeling very well informed and depressed by them.
During the 2008 crisis I worked for a regional family owned bank that had survived the great depression. They told us that the bank did not deal in derivatives, so we had no worries. What they said turned out to be true.
I still bank there
The proof is certainly in the pudding Bert - thank you for confirming my thoughts.
Our account was in a regional bank, and a good one. I found out later that a number of them, including ours, were running under the umbrella of Wells Fargo Bank. I don't know how much this practice is widespread.
I would guess quite often Greg. As subsidiaries they would be subject to plunder if WF gets in trouble and would likely be abandoned if the regionals have problems. The safe model is N. Dakota but TPTB will oppose this to the death IMHO.
I use our mega bank HSBC for everyday convenience transactions and a Credit Union/Premium Bonds for liquid safe-keeping. Buy my hard assets are PMs, land (SA), and off-shore in safer places B/c GBP is losing as are all fiats. The FT has a boring read:
https://www.ft.com/content/945f754b-6323-4ad1-8b8c-76ef8d2e0a6a
I got an account with Wells Fargo and I'm thinking about removing all my funds while I still can. Between now and then I think I'll go ahead and spend what is there before the money either becomes worthless are gets subsumed.
I is a hard call to make. I have little bits here and there never much in one place. still pay cash for everything possible.
What I think I'm going to do is get all the funds I have in the bank's keeping, and I don't trust the bailouts nor the bailins, and I think I'm gonna remove my funds there and put them into something real. I think the time is coming for me to acquire another piece of property and maybe I will go for a monopoly of 3 in a row.....
Now, that is probably a pipe dream, but I think the time to use funds available to obtain real goods of value is upon the discerning depositor because not a one of us wants fiat when all good faith has been lost.
Sounds like good logic to me. The taxes and upkeep are your only overhead.
I pay with credit while I still have some.
But amongst the banks, credit is becoming a problem.....
If it is a problem for them, just a matter of time before it is for all of us, and being they have proven they will steal funds from Canadian Trucker supporters on a small-scale and Russia, the actual sovereign country of it on a large-scale, I think the evidence is in - the bankers are not to be trusted.
That would be a good question as with not being employed by them, no access to insider information.

"In Britain we are assured by the Chancellor that our banking system is sound and is nothing to be concerned about. "
I wasn't overly concerned until I read this. When a government minister says that there is nothing to be concerned about, that is the time to panic!
Indeed Greg, the truth is often contained inversely where political puppets are concerned. They have no idea what's going on and merely take orders from above. My good friend Jim Quinn described it so well the other week at his blog: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/01/23/2023-fourth-turning-meets-mass-formation-psychosis-part-2/
Thanks. Good articles from Jim Quinn, but, so loooong.
LOL - yes Greg - he writes long-copy but powerful stuff IMHO - Love his approach to life and The Fourth Turning - it is all working as predicted by Strauss & Howe.
BoJo poem -
bo jo joed bo but joe was no joe to be bowed....
bo jo cried ho and went to and fro
living merrifully on bo jo land

who needs bo jo whores
joe not to be bowed thinks....
I think it as well - I thunk it.
who needs bo jo mojo harmful ideas of hate?

Well, if you don't mind tell BOOM that Crypto is nothing but a mathematical construct and it is flawed.
So, let me say this. I want to buy another Buffalo coin, but they are out of stock here presently.
