the $78 an hour is a myth currently circulating in the states. The cost is the total cost of labour divided by the number of employees. It includes retirees’ pensions and health care and health care for current workers.

They are creating a new race of people

Anyway back to fuel, If we had a reduced population of around 30 Million, we could have a sensible balance between Growing food and fuel.

The Govt, indeed Westminster is not interested in the environment, pollution congestion, crime levels because all of these things are profitabe to them.
They have created all these problems precisely so they can profit from them through fines and taxes.

Their ‘Concern’ is just spin and lies, Psychological Manipulation to get you to hand over your wealth to them.

Their real agenda is money, control, power it always has been.

Congestion, Landfill, Food security issues, fuel Security, urban sprawl, rising crime, pollution can all be addressed by REDUCING The population.

Why has no one proposed it I wonder.

We are being farmed.

Reply: It is wholly owned by the Treasury on behalf of taxpayers

Firstly, Gordon Brown misquoted John Redwood yesterday at the dispatch box when suggesting that JR advocated that Britain needs to “lower its living standards”. John Redwood has said no such thing so his report to parliament will no doubt be quite rightly followed by a point of order from John Redwood at the next available opportunity.

This is an extract from the post Brown was referring to and it clearly and unambiguously puts the blame on government for ITS POLICIES bringing living standards down in Britain.
____________________________________________________________

“The truth is that both the UK and the US are following policies which will force a cut in living standards. For years both these economies have been living well beyond their means, thanks to easy access to credit from the strong exporting nations and commodity producers who were generating big surpluses. It has been possible for both the great Anglo Saxon democracies to run large balance of payments deficits, large government deficits and large deficits in the personal sector. People and governments have spent too much and borrowed to do so.

Now the world’s markets are saying enough is enough. Living standards in both the public and private sector are being brought down by a combination of government policy and market reaction. The private sector has to sell more abroad and consume less at home. The government sector has to get closer to just spending what it can collect in taxes”.

Tory MP Damian Green was subjected to a “police raid” at his home and offices on the back of a “suspicion” by police on matters they found relevant to a “possible” breach of national security yet are unable to produce ANY real grounds to actually make that allegation stick. Furthermore, they act without a warrant ( which I happened to point out prior to Mr Speaker declaring it ), and they fail to inform The Sergeant at Arms and the Palace of Westminster that they have no warrant or that she can refuse to permit the police to enter Mr Green’s office’s.

But if that isn’t all, the best was yesterday evening following Gordon Brown having made a speech which showed intention to help homeowners.

This is what I heard Gordon Brown saying which was later backed up and confirmed by Margaret Becket :-

The government has agreed that homeowners facing repossession through redundancy or a drop in income can defer a portion of their interest payments for up to two years. He also said that 8 lenders had already signed up to it and that he expected to provide full details to the house soon. ( Today wasn’t the time as this was the Queen’s speech ).

Shortly after his speech, bulletins ran across SKY and the BBC as they each vied to get the news out as quickly as possible and to beat the other to viewing figures.

The BBC asked Robert “Pest”on “So that means any homeowner can simply defer their mortgage payments for two years” ??? “It appears so, yes” He replied.

They have misled the public and that is not what Gordon Brown said !

I switched to SKY.
They had an estate agent and a property rental agent in the street and the estate agent welcomed the package but the property agent said this would help his “Buy to Let customers who were struggling” with their mortgages.

Firstly, the package Brown described will not apply to property speculators it will apply to homeowners. That is what Gordon Brown said.

Secondly, it will not apply to “all homeowners” as the BBC and SKY have said, but it will apply to “some” ( who are facing repossession through redundancy or a drop in income and to a limit of £400,000 ), NOT to Buy to Let owners who do not make those properties their “home”.

I have to also say that shortly after these “false reports” were given, that both channels sought to dismantle Gordon Brown’s plans by describing them as being “no good in detail”, after having falsely reported the detail Gordon Brown I have to say, had clearly and adequately described as applying to “homeowners” – “facing repossession”, and that “part” of their interest “could” be deferred.

The truth is a mystery to these people I feel.

Reply: The UAW have now made an offer to cut costs, and are naturally askign the management to do the same.

Reply: Yes – I will post it today when I have the Hansard copy, as I never write speeches so I need the reported text.

Spend Spend Spend will get the Proletariat further in to debt, they are not to know they are being misled to ruin, they are Busdrivers, nurses, police officers, roadsweepers, shop assistants, mechanics and Plumbers, they are not stupid, its just that they like all of us focus their attention in specific directions, they assume that Govt is similarly doing their Job.

They do not know that credit is simply thin air, that Public borrowing through gilts enslaves them and their children to the Shadow govt, the global Banks.
They are not to realise that simply by issuing our own currency there woiuld be no loan to pay back, no interest to pay, no govt debt and hence little if any need for income tax.

Whether we borrow it or print it ourselves, Money is ( now )worthless paper.

If we’d operated like this we would not have enslaved our children to the tune of £1Trillion.

We would have been £1Trillion pound better off, what ios the interest on borrowing of £1Trillion at 5%.

It’s £ 50 Billion Per annum.

everything I see Western Govts doing appears geared towards enslaving us further into this.

They will not Grow Biofuels are will severly restrict it because it competes with Global Oil companies, they have committed us to Nuclear because the Military Industrial complex owns all the Uranium.
Make a mistake with a wind generator and the worst that can happen with a Wind Generator is that it falls on someones head.

Make a mistake with Nuclear and we endnager the Entire Country virtually indefinately.

The are lowering interest rates to encourage us to borrow more and more, to enslave us more and more into this Matrix.

If it were up to me, I would have let the Banks go bust, written off all bank and mortage, creidt card debt.
Let people keep their homes, cars and businesses.
This would have given people more income, then they would spend spend spend, so why did the Military Indistrial Complex, Sorry our Govt not do this if it wanted people to Spend, the answers is in my view is because it wnats to keep us and our children enslaved.

If instead of Printing Gilts, we had Printed money ( instead of Borrowing it ) we would not have enslaved out children to the tune of £1Trillion pounds, this is no accident, this is out and out deception and theft.
We need to wake up to the fact that we and our country are being Looted.

just Watched your debate in the House of Commons, Michael Clapham Labour is going on about Carbon Capture Technology, coud you have a word with him and tell him the Technology already exists, it is Called a tree.
Simply Plant Billions of Trees and over the next ten yrs we will be absorbing Billions of Tons of CO2.
Again I have to point out that the Military Industrial complex will not allow it, they will not allow it because there is no loot, sorry Tax in that.

~ did the speaker recently down grade the post of sarjeant at arms?
~ if he then alleges failure in the post he downgraded should he bear responsibility?
~ should any leader of an organisation actually be proactive and not rely on the weak defence “I wasn’t told”?
~ If the permanent secretary at the Home Office didn’t think it worth telling the Home Secretary that an MP was about to be arrested, one wonders what he thinks important and worthy of mention?
~ If one of your servants had failed to mention something crucial to you, wouldn’t you sack them?
~ If you didn’t sack them, wouldn’t it perhaps suggest you were protecting them, because they were protecting you?
~ Wouldn’t it be better to get all parties to make statements under oath on this matter?
~ Does the Lenthall doctrine* still apply?

Reply: All very good questions. I will be able to answer more of them after tomorrow’s statement by the Home Sec and Monday’s debate.At the moment we do not know what happened in detail apart from what the Speaker told us.

If not, then a salary reduction is moot, they’ll still make more money being bailed out than not.

Anyway, Axel Merk has a very good piece on Monetizing the Debt. It is one of the best I have seen that explains how central banks create money.
