As the details of the financial deal between Greece and the bankster terrorists begin to emerge so do the photo’s of the homeless and the destitute in the soup kitchens and it’s a hideous picture with truth be told evil conditions the international finance gangsters are putting the bail of themselves while the Greek people are suffering the austerity measures their corrupt and criminal government is forcing on them. 

Here is Mike Whitney’s analysis of the death sentence memorandum of understanding with a link to the official text and a link to the photo’s compiled by Zero Hedge and remember our lying scumbag John Key will do the same to us when the time comes.

On the Urewera four, John Key and that secret meeting with Tame Iti two months before his arrest

With the court case against the Urewera 18 4 in progress I thought I’d repost a post I wrote (In atrocious English at the time) in 2008 about a “secret”meeting John Key had at Owhakatoro Marae so far removed from anything there was not even cell phone cover while Tame Iti was under police surveillance and John Key was a known target according to the police statments made after the arrests of Tame Iti and the other suspects.

Ok, so the police spends $ 8.000.000,- of tax payers money to investigate alledged “terror activities”in the Uruweras. They have been investiging for over a year. One of the “targets” was; National leader John Key.
And than two months before they decide to invade and arrest the alledged perpetrators, John Key visits an isolated Marae were he meets and speaks with; wait a minute….. the alledged leader of said terror group, Tame Iti. Alone! No police protection! In fact; the police states in writing that the area is save for “target”John Key to travel in and meet with Tame Iti.
I smell something nasty here. No wonder John Key stayed calm when told of the threat on his life.(travellerev)

Questions are being asked over why police did not accompany National Party leader John Key on a visit to the Ureweras when it was known there was an assassination plot against him.

The alleged plot against the National Party leader, and other politicians including the PM, was made public in material published in two daily newspapers on Thursday.

In August Key made a trip to a remote marae in the Ureweras where police say paramilitary-style training camps were operating and firearms and explosives were stored.

ONE News has been told the Diplomatic Protection Squad – which handles security for senior politicians at parliament – knew about the plot.

But they didn’t tell National and in fact provided advice in writing that it was safe to travel to the area.

Are Greece and Detroit test grounds for societal shut down or the beginning of the end?

For those of you interested to see and learn what happens when societies collapse (if only to be able to prepare) two places stand out for study. One of them of course is Greece and another is the once proud city of Detroit in the land of the free and the brave oppressed and the slaves, the good old US of A now better known as the Evil Empire.

The thing with these two examples of horrible economic collapse is that perhaps we are not the only ones studying what happens when jobs disappear and money becomes scares and the people is squeezed for ever more tax, fines and permit fees while they become more and more restricted in their movements through poverty, rising oil prices and no fly lists.

There are a couple of noteworthy differences between the two examples:

  • In Detroit the deteriorating situation leads to more individual on individual violence and often crime related violence.
  • In Greece, a country who’s population suffered immensely but fought back bravely under the Nazi occupation and who also suffered greatly under the Military Junta there is much more solidarity and they have a tendency to demonstrate in huge numbers and direct their anger to the Elite, Government and the Finance institutions destroying the country.
  • In Detroit hundreds of thousands of people have simply moved away in search of jobs and the left over inhabitants find themselves more and more in a Mad Max situation in which ladies in their late seventies have to apply for gun permits and buy guns to protect themselves from the armed gangs roaming the streets.
  • In Greece young unemployed people will use violence against the police but it seems that there is no increased crime but more and more people become homeless and commit suicide each day.
  • Another noteworthy difference is the behaviour of the police. In Detroit and in the entire US the violence of police officers towards private citizens is increasing in multiple mind blowing ways( see here, here and here for just a few horrible examples).
  • In Greece the Police union representing two thirds of the entire police force has issued a statement in defence of their country and it’s citizenry and it is a searing indictment of the international financial elite wreaking havoc in their communities.
  • What is also interesting that while the Greek clearly pointed to their elite as the source of the problems with a good understanding of the political situation with regards to their position in society,
  • The citizens of Detroit and that goes for most of the US it citizens, until the advent of the occupy movement, are on the whole behaving  as millionaires who are temporarily out of cash identifying completely with the 1% devastating their country and most of the world.

The same 1% whom we must presume are watching both situations with interest and if I was them with more than just a smidgen of trepidation because their entire future lies on what happens in these places next.

Will the Greek take back their country and return to the Drachma and begin to rebuild their economy causing the entire bloated over leveraged financial bubble machine to collapse or will the military industrial complex take over when the financial war can no longer be perpetrated?

Will the American people armed to the teeth and divided along racial and income lines turn on each other more and more descending into a civil war leaving the 1% to continue their goal of bankrupting the global population or will they finally wake up to the fact that they never have been and never will be millionaires like the 1% and take back their country thereby triggering the FEMA concentration camp activation and the use of military on the streets of cities like Detroit in order to shut down what was once a thriving free community?

We live in interesting times

So much news so little time

It is now 8:14 am and I have read I think about 200 news pages since 6:00 am. I have 80 pages left all with news worthy information which won’t make it or only on page 5 in the Mud stream media instead I have encountered the death of Pop diva turned almost bankrupt crack junky (who apparently poured milk over her morning dose to drink it) Whitney Houston at least 250 times

For example what happened in India and Georgia. Two cars were blown up in the same way the Iranian Scientists were blown up over the last couple of months. Both Georgia and India have a strong Mossad presence and Netanyahu is gagging for the next world war (and journalists are renting space on top of roofs in Israel to watch it happen. no kidding) and we are supposed to believe Iran is the culprit?

Here is another one: Greece’s government which has an approval rate in the single digits just passed another hideous austerity plan while the bail out will go directly to the European banks plunging the Greek people in untold financial despair. Will it solve the problem of course not! Investor advisers project a default causing a domino effect for a European collapse somewhere around March/April of this year.

Thank God that the communist party (not that I’m particularly enamoured of the communist system which I saw in full horrible glory when I visited Czechoslovakia just after the Prague spring) which has a very good solution for the banking problem now has the support of more then 30% and with elections coming up maybe we will see a Greece that says fuck you to the banks and gets its autonomy back. That is if there will be an election of course.

Just in case you had forgotten about Fukushima and thought that the 4 meltdowns had magically disappeared TEPCO has admitted that the reactors are heating up again which could have something to do with the fact that they can’t find the fuel which melted out of the supposedly indestructible container and the rods which were exposed when the pools emptied out after the Tsunami. Add to that the mysterious disease killing sea mammals in Alaska and the hot rain in several US states and you get the picture.

And while Monsanto (banning GM foods from its own canteen) prepares to bring back Agent Orange of Vietnam infamy it the food chain and plans to unleash the mother of all GM food and herbicide plans on us 300.000 farmers prepare to sue the Corporation in order to try to stop it from destroying small organic seed growers with patent infringement court cases. All this while the are preparing to free millions of GM mosquitoes in Florida to combat Mosquito related diseases courtesy of Monsanto share holder Bill Gates who’d love to inject the entire global population with hundreds of Vaccines. While the food laws are being used to do raids on alternative healers, Vitamin shops and companies and sheeple here believe what the mud stream media tells them about the food laws.

And I haven’t even started about the asset sales, the tax attack on Aucklanders, the undercover war on Syria complete with all the propaganda needed, the global privatisation of water , the drums of war with Iran, the activation of the 72 threat fusion centres which will aid in the detention of US citizens in the coming Economic collapse or the fact that the New York Police union demands more information about the contents of the toxic dust from the 911 demolitions of the three WTC buildings or the insertion of yet another  crime family Bush member (Yep the Jeb) into the GOP presidential race to name but a few.

And I still have 64 pages open!!!

Greek police union wants to arrest EU/IMF officials

The Greek police union which represents two thirds of the police force in Greece are siding with the population. That is truly epic and gives me hope!

Greece’s largest police union has threatened to issue arrest warrants for officials from the country’s European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders for demanding deeply unpopular austerity measures.

In a letter obtained by Reuters on Friday, the Federation of Greek Police accused the officials of “…blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty” and said one target of its warrants would be the IMF’s top official for Greece, Poul Thomsen.

The threat is largely symbolic since legal experts say a judge must first authorize such warrants, but it shows the depth of anger against foreign lenders who have demanded drastic wage and pension cuts in exchange for funds to keep Greece afloat.

“Since you are continuing this destructive policy, we warn you that you cannot make us fight against our brothers. We refuse to stand against our parents, our brothers, our children or any citizen who protests and demands a change of policy,” said the union, which represents more than two-thirds of Greek policemen.

“We warn you that as legal representatives of Greek policemen, we will issue arrest warrants for a series of legal violations … such as blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty.”

This Time Next US Presidential Campaign: $24.1 Trillion In Debt, 138.9% Debt/GDP

This is a truly terrifying situation as there is no way in hell this can ever be repaid.

While Obama may or may not be on the way to winning his reelection, courtesy of a GOP field that is, to say the least, limited, and where the only worthy candidate is more ostracized by the right than even anyone on the left, the bottom line is that whoever wins the presidency, it will matter precisely didley squat. As the US debt clock shows, fast forwarding 4 years, or to February 2016, when the next presidential race will be in its final stretch, America will have $24.1 trillion in debt, about $9 trillion more than it does, now on $17.4 trillion in GDP, for a gross debt to GDP ratio of 138.9% (and Apple’s $1 trillion market cap will account for 150% of the Nasdaq… just as IBM is 125% of the DJIA). Needless to say, it will be long past game over at that point confirming that the current presidential race, with its exciting tangential detours into female fertility, moon bases, LBO IRR maximization courtesy of cost-cutting, is completely and utterly meaningless. Also, keep in mind, “at current rates” for an endspiel that has now entered the exponential phase in virtually every category, is to say the least, optimistic. Yes, interest rates may be negative in 2016, but that means that the liquidity trap endgame has not only begun, but is well on its way to ending, and mercifully putting an end to this whole Keynesian “sustainability” charade. Remember: Japan’s debt-deflation lasted for 30 years only thanks to new pockets of incremental global leverage and inflation: China and the PIIGS. This time, absent the levering of the entire continent of Africa, there is noone who can take the releverage baton and run. Which means the only “buyers” will be the central banks. At least back in the day, Weimar just one nation. This time, it will be the “Weimar World.”

Athens is burning!

“We don’t want a saved Greece with a bankrupt population” Aleka Papariga Communist party leader.

Reports are emerging from Greece that Athens has at least five buildings in flames one of which is a Eurobank building and a Starbucks.

10 of thousands of people are rioting while the police has run out of tear gas after it was announced that Greece would be getting a whopping 320 billion bail out to be paid straight to the banks after they agreed to monstrous austerity measures including the minimum wage being cut by a whopping 22%.

The final vote is not in yet so I hope this sends a warning to the unelected Greek bankster government and ladies and gentlemen may I remind you that Italy and Portugal are in the same dire straits and if Greece defaults it is the beginning of the end for the entire financial system.

Tonight’s protest in Athens has all the makings of the vintage ones from May of 2010, and the nigh is still young. Here are some updates:

  • Rioting spreads across central Athens, at least 5 buildings set ablaze – AP 
  • 2:02PM EST: FIRES ARE BURNING SEVERAL SMALL BUSINESSES AROUND ATHENS AS PROTESTERS CLASH WITH POLICE NEAR GREEK PARLIAMENT
  • 1:52 PM EST: POLICE ARE CLEARING PROTESTERS FROM OUT IN FRONT OF GREEK PARLIAMENT BUILDING
  • 1:50 PM EST: ATMS ARE REPORTEDLY EMPTY AROUND ATHENS… STILL UNCONFIRMED WORKING TO CONFIRM THIS 
  • 1:48 PM EST: LARGE FIRES ARE REPORTED AROUND ATHENS… INCLUDING A BRANCH OF EUROBANK AND STARBUCKS
  • Skai TV reports that police have run out of tear gas & have asked for more supplies to be brought

National bank collects tax for the NZ government and its city councils

Posted on by

Last year I was notified that if I did not pay my rates I Waikato council would force National bank where I have my mortgage account to pay the rates for me. This was a condition I was forced to signed when we applied for our mortgage. I admit I was in arrears in paying my rates but also annoyed about having to pay rent to the council on top of my mortgage and while I don’t object to paying our fair share of tax (we do and willingly so even though our government is borrowing like hell and the money doesn’t go to good public works but instead to pay the interest on the loans ) I decided to let it run its course. 

About two weeks ago  I received a pleasant enough letter on a Friday from National bank that they had indeed paid the rates for me as per required by the 2003 act demanding that they do. No threads no warning about what might occur should I refuse to pay, nothing.

In response to this I send a fax on Wednesday to the arrears department of the National bank requesting information as to what would happen if I refused to pay the rates which I now owed to them. I received no response

This Sunday afternoon I received a telephone call from a lady who told me that I was two weeks in arrears with my mortgage and that if I did not make good on this within those two weeks they would start collecting procedures. I told the lady that I thought that calling people to threaten them on their Sunday was outrageous and that I send a letter requesting her threat in writing to the arrears department. She told me that she would send an email to my local bank and that they would respond.

I will not wait for this but fax them a written request for clarity myself. I intend to build a paper trail so I can take the matter to the citizens and rate payers association in Hamilton.

Now we will be able to make good on those payments so I presume this is where it will stop for us at the moment but imagine a situation in which someone has lost his job and is unable to find a new one because he is unskilled or too old and him and his wife and two children live on what his wife is able to make with a minimum wage of $ 13.50 working at the checkout counter of Pack and Save? What if you have a conflict with your local council and refuse to pay your rates because they refuse to mend the road in front of your house or you pay twice as much for water than people in another district in the same town?

In fact in Raglan people who lived their whole live in a house their ancestors build and which is on freehold and who have seen their rates rise spectacularly because of the temporary house pricing boom of the last fifteen years are being forced out of their properties because their retirement funds don’t suffice for paying their rates. these people are than forced to take up residency elsewhere for which they have to pay rent forcing them in a downward spiral and while there are provisions in place to apply for exemption it seems no a lot of people are knowledgeable enough or willing to beg for leniency.

And let’s go back to the whole “Forcing the bank to pay the tax” issue! Since when has anybody ever been able to force a bank to do anything. Most of all pay a private tax bill of one of its customers? And an international giant bank at that.

What if John Key our borrowing bankster Prime minister is told its payback time by his international bankster mates and they decide the entire population has to pay 30% tax or more while getting a 22% minimum wage cut?

Don’t think that would happen? Well here is forbes actually writing about how the Federal Reserve wants to devalue the international reserve currency with 33%. that’s your tax rise right there because if you think the price hikes and the GST on food are anything other than the result of the devaluation of the Reserve currency and price manipulation of the ultra rich you are sadly mistaken especially since the price of oil has gone down and not up at the point of origin.

So here you have it: Your elected representatives have put an unelected unaccountable International financial giant who can print money out of nowhere between you and them and since there is simply no way for a citizen to take an international bank to task the government and you local council can use your private bank account as their personal ATM machine while the bank can hold you to ransom with your house and safety at stake.  If this doesn’t scare the shit out of you I don’t know what will!

More to follow on this subject.
