Money - a mechanism of diminishing returns

If one looks at the value of the UKP, USD, EUR AUD & JPY over the last ten years against GOLD the trends are evident.

You can right click and select 'open link in new tab' to see a large version of these charts

Not only have they fallen 80% in value over that period but they have, within a ferret's whisker, all faired much the same.  The UKP and the USD have been tracking each-other since 2009 previously the UKP was tracking the EUR.

Since 2010 the JPY broke through the value of the EUR to be running closest to GOLD but still the whole basket is massively floundering against this measure.

Regardless of the notion that GOLD is the true fixed measure of value (and all currencies have been enormously depreciated against this base-line measure) the trend between the currencies shows there is little real variation (and they are all heading to hell).

The AUD has broken out a little retaining a stronger position in comparison over the last decade (decayed) but viewed over the last two decades this can be viewed as less pronounced too - just matching the JPY.

The JPY has recently been artificially weakened but this can be seen as a correction of the effect resulting from the Tsunami which appeared to cause the currency to strengthen as a result perhaps of converting overseas investments to fund reconstruction work.

I don't specifically recommend GOLD as being guaranteed to produce, over the next couple of decades, or continuance of this level of apparent growth or resistance to depreciation (though I would not mind gambling that it will).  GOLD is as vulnerable to market manipulation as the currencies undoubtedly are.  I just wish I had put my eggs into a precious basket!

I am (clearly?) illustrating that all currencies have depreciated at consistent levels with each-other and demonstrate that adjustments in this parity are, on reflection, small.

I do not agree that governments want inflation to 'stop people hoarding cash and stopping the economy'.  A public that build-up reserves of cash under their beds is improbable if the banking system pays a viable rate of interest to stimulate investment with their deposit accounts. 

I conject that inflation is driven by central banks, not directly by governments, and that it suits the producers of money that the money they produce falls in value - that is their profit.  Inflation is a form of invisible taxation.

Money is a representation of value and so cannot be measured by itself only.

If balloons all leak air over time you cannot say my red balloon is unchanged just because your blue balloon has remained the same size as mine over the same period.  Or is that all balloony!

Why the EU despises the UK's economy

The idea the city would flounder outside of the EU is the inverse of the truth.

The UK is a tax haven albeit one for the very rich and multinational companies.   For the wealthiest 1% tax rates in the UK over recent decades have fallen. The highest rate of income tax in the UK was 60% in 1980 and soon it will be 45%. Corporation tax rates were more than 50% in 1980 and soon they will be 22%. National Insurance rates have gone up. The base on which income taxes are charged for those on lower earnings has been expanded, considerably. VAT was 12 1/2% in 1980 and now it is 20%.

That means the poorest have been paying more and more tax (and I want to see an end to that, the least able are paying for this haven).  Conversely Non Domiciled Individuals can live the high-life in the UK drawing from their off-shore stash for a one-off annual fee to HMRC of £50,000 that allows these UK non-domiciled individuals to keep unlimited sums of money offshore and tax free or make tax-free remittances (including making tax-free investments into UK based companies).

Combined with other UK tax loopholes, non-doms and their families can hold large overseas bank deposits, share and property portfolios including holiday homes and pay very little or no UK tax.
This is the target at which the EU is aimed and this is the meat on which the City of London thrives.  There is NO FUTURE for the City of London without this favourable tax environment, for the worlds wealthy, remaining open for business.

The EU will chip away at the tax-haven that is the UK - along with the efficient network of trustworthy tax-havens that operate in tandem with and under the UK's auspices (Channel Isles, Isle of Mann, Cayman Isles, Barbados, etc).

Remaining in the soviet that is the EU the City of London will, sooner than later, be left dead. The European nations want to hammer a wooden stake into the heart of this remaining and vital vestige of the Great Britain that once ruled a global empire.

And the reason why this one element of empire remains is because it is the complete and utter core mechanism that funded and profited from that empire. The mechanism however can still strive to profit without directly controlling an empire but it needs the right 'culture' on which to grow.

The sham of democracy

Att:  Rt Hon Peter Bone MP


Dear Mr Bone

In Prime Minister's Question Time yesterday, sat next to you, the Prime Minister said "I do not think it would be right for Britain to have an in/out referendum today, because we would be giving the British people a false choice."

I do not understand what he means by 'a false choice'.  The choice for ' in or out ' is genuine enough for me.

I have lost all faith in the process of 'government'.  I consider it to be a sham supported only by false logic, weak rhetoric and an utterly pliant media.

I do not believe the true interests of the people living on these islands are represented by this or any other government likely to emerge.  I believe the mantra to dissolve nation states into a soviet of pan-continental unions and onward towards an eventual global 'governance' union is the only one allowed any traction and that movement in that direction is inextricable - imposable to resist.

Yours truly

EU Brainwashing; Explained.

The fact is that everybody has been conditioned since the dawn of interaction with other members of the species - including within prehistoric family groups; the dominant wolf in the pack subjugates the others primarily by physiological means and so it is with man.

From simple human tribal leadership, religious indoctrination, the mythology of monarchy to our modern consumer and state lead society; the techniques of indoctrination are now not only all consuming but understood, completely and absolutely deliberate in almost every avenue of life. Even the Greeks wrote of this.

The techniques of brainwashing were understood well by William Sargent who published 'Battle for the Mind' before being hushed-up. His papers are still sealed under wraps at the Welcome Foundation. He contributed to the CIA programs and the Tavistock Institute in the UK. (I recommend the book as vital to understanding this aspect of the human condition). 

Individually our minds can be utterly broken and reprogrammed - brainwashed in the clearest sense - to believe and act in any way required. The strongest minds are actually the most vulnerable as when they break, which all eventually will do so, they are utterly and entirely shattered - destroyed. Less resistant folk are easier to break but the resulting indoctrination is then weaker.

The 'Brainwashing' I allude to in EUbrainwashing is the subliminal one formed from a lifetime of exposure to every-day indoctrination and propaganda. From each-other, from school, from all media and so on. Less dramatic and violent but powerful and all encompassing nonetheless. It is also the one contributed to through mass shocks in the form of outrages such as the 'Dunblane massacre', 7/7, 911, war and the like. Human life is devalued with abortion policy, state advocacy of voluntary euthanasia, avocation for state imposed death sentencing, illicit acts of war remain unchallenged (such as Blair/Iraq) and on and on. All this teaches us lessons - forming how to think. 

The core outcome of this programming of mass indoctrination (brainwashing) is the broad acceptance of such aspects of 'normal' life as: the necessity for a government/state, state controlled schooling, state controlled health services, monarchy, democratic elections, payment of tax, religion, nationalism, war, state authorised use of violent force and so on. Acceptance of the paradigm that we need the state and that human society could not usefully function without it is endemic.

The endless absorption of our independence into EU-mire underlines the feeling of hopelessness and detachment; so that despite all opposition the march, nightmare like, only continues disregarding everything. We must learn from this, subconsciously, we are in truth a powerless herd of human tax slaves and the state a tax farm to which we belong will do with us precisely as it wishes - just with toys, flat-screens and MP3s, to make us feel rewarded. 

The power that was incarnate in the English aristocracy, the East India company, the British Empire and latterly manifests, now more clearly, as a global corporate/banking elite/complex is not dependent on being British any more. And it wants to snuff-out the old authority that was built-up and incumbent within these shores - the power is now a global force and the authority that was a part of that has moved with the money. But the British people remain a threat of being a respected measured properly righteous authority - that is being undone.

That power is in considerable control of the means to steer our society, via all almost all forms of mainstream media, all corporate and all political life along with the means to steer a great deal of global politics, society and economy too.

The EU issue is only but one manifestation of the predicament.

The allure of being a citizen of the world - when you are twelve

I agree that 'nations' are no more than the old paradigm that the population was cajoled into supporting before - rally behind the flag bla bla bla.  And people, when getting all nationalistic, are doing nothing but continuing to feed from that trough of swill because the message was so enduring and in tune with the basic human instinct for family, tribe and race.

So what would you have it replaced by?  Unions of old nations working together in pan-continental cooperatives, the common causes shared, war at an end, the strong and the weak hand in hand, all skipping into the sunset perhaps?

And each continental union a part of a greater wholeness, a global union of unions.  A scientifically measured central planning governance, economy and ecology developed sustainably.  I get it.  I came to the same conclusion when I was about twelve years old.

I came to the same conclusion and remained there enduringly before eventually I broke free from the core illusion, the most dangerous and muddled concept burdening humanity, that the 'state' is utterly essential for the continuation and betterment of humanity.

I now know it is not. It has taken me years to come to that understating, it was a slow realisation, and years more to realise the truth of the conclusion - to overcome my multi-layered learnt denial.  I can see clearly now: the state is only to enslave humanity and nations are nothing more than giant tax-farms where the livestock is the human tax-slave herd.

Unions of old nations will be just bigger tax-farms and a global union will be just one big farm.

So who are the farmers.  Work it out for yourself because that I cannot explain.  The didactic route is the only path to enduring clarity I know of.  When I tell people they get it and then they forget it; in one ear and out' the other.  Fascinating to behold.

And if you think a one world union will be the end of war you are no brighter than I was - at the age of twelve.  Because, this I will explain, the war will be the state against all humanity.  And that war has been under-way for a long time already.  Dummy.

I would replace the state with nothing but the right to property and your only property is your life and that which you work upon.

An English Baccalaureate - have you any questions?

What is an 'English Baccalaureate'  - is it a Baccalaureate studied for using the English language or is it one just related to the regions presently known as England.

I see the English Baccalaureate is referred to as an 'EBacc' which is useful since that helps distinguish it from a 'European Baccalaureate' which is known as a 'Bac'. 
Call me cynical (because I am) - I wonder how long it will be before there is a blending of the EBacc and the Bac which presently is used only in the private establishments operated to school European Official's own offspring. www.eursc.org/index.php?id=138

It is fortunate that since next year the government has to keep so many more children occupied for an extra year of state enforced indoctrination that this examination conundrum has 'appeared' on the horizon.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is different again!  Formerly the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), the IB is independent perhaps of  'nations' but I argue it is not independent of government.  It was conceived at the International School of Geneva, a school that had been created to serve the children of employees of the League of Nations.  The League of Nations was succeeded by the United Nations.  The United Nations has a clear objective for being the instrument for Global Governance.

See: http://truthaboutib.com/whatca...

6) IB is a non-governmental organization (NGO) of United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) the United Nations (UN).
http://www.ibo.org/partnership...

IBO and UNESCO work out of the same building in Switzerland (toward the bottom of the page):
http://www.ibo.org/partnership...

If you do not agree the UN's ideology it is probably best to avoid IB.
http://myinclinevillage.com/20...

Here is an article where Mr. Olabiyi Babalola Joseph Yai, Chair of UNESCO’s executive board, said: "UNESCO'S role is to think global governance.  That is why the Organization was founded."
http://www.infowars.com/unesco...

Here is a link to more articles and a video on the IB/global governance connection,
http://myinclinevillage.com/20...

IB organisation does not go out of their way to say IB is an NGO of UNESCO; in fact, some IB proponents will attempt to deny this fact. 

So the IB is about as 'political' as it could be: conditioning and training the future leaders and personnel to function within the UN's Fabian objective of establishing themselves as the world government.

This state enforced 'curriculum, inspecting and examination' system of schooling.

There are children who are suited to, and respond to, this state enforced 'curriculum, inspecting and examination' system of schooling.  These children achieve what is required and give the necessary results for the appearance of success.  (This clearly suits the girls better than the boys and there may be no accident in that being an 'outcome'; acting to level the gender playing-field).  There are children who are not suited to the system, who fail to engage with the system and who are switched-off by the system.  Those children enter a damaging spiral which results in their rejection of the system and the system's rejection of them.  These children do not achieve what is required and therefore give the necessary results for the appearance of failure.

The natural instinct for inquisitiveness, study, thought, learning and expression - that which is clearly evident in most pre-school children - is all-but drummed out of many children by all facets of the schooling system.  This can be no mistake.  So many great minds working on developing a system of schooling, now for so many years, surely cannot have culminated in a system that causes so many bright, questioning, articulate young people to be measured as failures and only fact-learning, compliant, hard-working, reliable and focused people to be cast as successful.

We are, I fear, being subjected to a school system that is intended to maximise the production of a 'state-friendly' pliant and compliant population whilst simultaneously dissuading and disadvantaging those who are resistant to this schooling's indoctrination.  Would powers behind any kind of state deliberately devise a system that produced anything less than a desirable outcome for the continuation and supremacy of that state.

'As parents, we want our children's education to offer more than just a good schooling and academic success. We look towards the school to help foster our children's enthusiasm and passion for the subjects they study, to learn to be self-motivated in their endeavours, to enjoy self-confidence, to learn to solve problems and make decisions. We want our children to understand, value and empathise with others, to work together and realise the practical outcomes of all they undertake.

This is to place the child at the very heart of the educational process, to nurture their self-worth, build their confidence, value and broaden their range of interests.'

In reality, whilst I think most schools recognise the above form of objectives, they can do little to aspire to them beyond 'lip-service and platitudes'.

My wishes expressed and the steps necessary to work towards such goals, especially for children with today's social and media influences, are far removed from the reality in a schooling system that is all-but driven by a state enforced regime of curriculum and inspection with examination results apparently given as the prime objective.
