Out buying supplies Pete? In bed with heat exhaustion? I'm doing both and that's not easy getting a queen size bed down supermarket isles :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully, folks are all continuing to think and prepare for eventualities. Not just getting started, but putting on the finishing touches best they can...
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd ask what background you guys might have on the following piece. There's enough new here to me as to make me wonder, and desire additional input. An interesting read it is, not too long.
European unrest is entirely staged political theatrics:

But the social engineers have already stated that the world population must be reduced,that being to give the Rockefellers and Rothchilds areas to "regreen" so they will have places to run around nude in the forest and sacrifice babies to satan. Who am I to interfere in their plan ?
ReplyDelete"Pop!" goes the weasel.

CITY OF LONDON -- A Committee of 12 men rule The Jewish Vatican. They are known as “The Crown.” The City and its rulers, The Crown, are not subject to the Parliament. They are a Sovereign State within a State.
{ 12 Men? Just like the Super Congress, huh?! What a coincidence. }
The City is the financial hub of the world. It is here that the Rothschilds have their base of
operations and their centrality of control:
* The Central Bank of England (controlled by the Rothschilds) is located in The City.
* All major British banks have their main offices in The City.
* 385 foreign banks are located in The City.
* 70 banks from the United States are located in The City.
* The London Stock Exchange is located in The City.
* Lloyd’s of London is located in The City.
* The Baltic Exchange (shipping contracts) is located in The City.
* Fleet Street (newspapers & publishing) is located in The City.
* The London Metal Exchange is located in The City.
* The London Commodity Exchange (trading rubber, wool, sugar, coffee) is located in The City.
Every year a Lord Mayor is elected as monarch of The City. The British Parliament does not
make a move without consulting the Lord Mayor of The City. For here in the heart of London
are grouped together Britain’s financial institutions dominated by the Rothschild-controlled
Central Bank of England.
20% of Congress runs off to Israel for ? To look at the dry dirt and rocks?

.Yesterday’s emergency debate in the British parliament, recalled in emergency session following the eruption of youth riots earlier this week, was a contemptible spectacle.
ReplyDeleteThe cynical denials by the political class, the contemptible media role in obfuscating the roots of these social explosions, should serve notice and a reminder to the people of the United States as both branches of the Anglo-American bourgeoisie tend to think alike.
The disturbances that have swept large parts of London and other cities and towns across England are the direct product of the vast growth in poverty, deprivation and police brutality faced daily by many working class youth. Everyone knows that these conditions are the outcome of deliberate policies pursued by Labour and Conservative governments alike over the last three decades, as they have competed to satisfy the financial oligarchy and super-rich at the expense of working people. And everyone is well aware that the current Conservative-Liberal Democrat government’s austerity measures—driven by the self-same class interests—will lead to even greater social devastation and inequality.
But any reference to this reality was strictly off limits. In the face of an unprecedented eruption of raw social anger by young people, the assembled politicians could not muster a serious, intelligent response of any note. With much of London, Birmingham, Manchester, and other inner-city areas on virtual police lock-down, it denounced working class youth and shrilly demanded that the state prepare for violent repression of the population.
In his opening statement, Prime Minister David Cameron rejected that the disturbances were in any way connected to the police killing of 29-year old Mark Duggan last Thursday in Tottenham.
Duggan’s death was “used as an excuse by opportunist thugs in gangs”, he claimed, to carry out “criminality”.
Provocation
It is now known that Duggan was shot and killed in a pre-planned operation, and that police claims they had opened fire in self-defence are lies. His death was only the latest in the toll of some 340 fatalities that have occurred in police custody over the last decade or so, for which not a single police officer has been convicted.
Cameron is indifferent to police lawlessness, however. The purpose of his statement was to insist that the disturbances were solely the result of “criminality” and “immorality” amongst young people, who must be dealt with ruthlessly.
Cameron’s charge, moreover, applies equally to the “pocket” of the City of London, where the greedy, self-serving activities of the banks and super-rich have literally trashed the British economy. Billions of pounds have been looted from public funds and handed over to the City, without any bank, hedge-fund operator, financial speculator, or those supposed to have “regulated” their activities, held to account.
The saturation presence of police in the inner-cities should be extended indefinitely, Miliband urged.
