Thanks for reading my poem blondey111. I tried to make it like edgar Alan Poe's the raven, but more along the lines of the current pandemic (the winged beast is the bat that supposedly caused the coronavirus). I'll definitely try to keep working on it. That was really a first draft and I wanted to write it down while I had it on my mind


Tis a strange wee story
of the much maligned bat
there is nae much to chew on one
I fear I smell a rat

The answer may be simpler than you realise …. It is greed that drives those who own and control the world and those who have allowed it.

In referring to "those" I speak of a small number of banking families who have closely controlled world finances for over !50 years. Those people own the Federal Reserve and the central banks of virtually every country on earth.

Your Mr Trump can do little to stop them although he has threatened nationalisation of the Federal Reserve. The last President to do that was Kennedy. Whatever else people say about Trump, he has courage because his life is in danger.

Hmm?
Isn't that like trying to defend rape & murder by saying it has been around since mankind existed?

Its strange how humans will justify and defend things which are bad for us or make absolutely no sense.

I see it as collective insanity.


No. Because I am not defending anything. I am just pointing out how difficult it is to pin down a 'why', when it has occurred under so many different circumstances, with so many different nations, regardless of any predictive factors.

It would be like asking why do people rape or murder? I imagine if it can be answered, it is more multiple choice (many factors) than any one definitive reason.

So, the banking system
Practically every country is in debt
You pay that debt off , even though, it's not your debt
Yet, the debt, continues to grow bigger, as does the amount you pay, to pay it off
Is this capitalism or socialism, or some other 'ism'



Zionism.

Me personally, not that I'm aware of no
Or the British ? Possibly

I don't know anything about democratic socialists and so on

I have read lots of comments by people saying, you've got short memories.
Regarding, universal credit ( something many may have to go on )
And Boris clapping the NHS , regarding that they may have voted Tory. And that apparently the Tories tried to sell the NHS off, and have underfunded it for a long time. Oh and it was they who introduced universal credit, and you'll probably have starved to death by the time you get it, if you get it.
People may have to apply for it, as they may lose their job , and many of these people may previously have slagged off anybody who had claimed it

When I posted this, I was thinking of the 9 / 11 thing, and of how the Donald is such a sweety and great businessman ( even though his casino in Vegas managed to lose money ) , that he has probably already got factories building ventilators

But then I started thinking about this fractional reserve banking thing . I don't know much about it, and it seems purposefully tricky to get your head around.
Apparently we used to have the gold standard, but then tricky dicky introduced this system
Anyway, apparently the money's worth zip. It's just numbers on a computer screen, and debt is created out of, nothing
So it's a little unfair of me to just blame the U.S
Apparently practically every country is in debt
How is that even possible?
And who are they in debt to?
Apparently your paying this debt, even though, it's not your debt
And the debt, keeps going up, and you keep having to pay more, to pay it off
Apparently U.S. debt, is seen as a sound investment
It's bizarre

The point is, many people will default on their mortgages and such as a result of all this, and things like that
And who stands to gain by that?
That dastardly debt producing computer screen
And say commie, and people start making placards and talking about their favourite gun
If they sue the Chinese, and how can they? Seems impossible. Who would pay? The Chinese people many of which are already in poverty? And who would they pay it to?

If so, why?
If not, why?

You can talk about any topic that makes you trust or distrust your Government....





Its a lovely question but I don't know the answer because I am not sure if "my government" was elected by my fellow countrymen.

after reading on the net yesterday's announcements about what is proposed to deal with the crisis I thought I might compare it with the announcements of some countries closely associated …..

I noticed there has been a lot of "cutting and pasting"

Global Warming: Is it real or is it propaganda?

Global Warming: Is it real or is it propaganda?


Why Propaganda? So why all the discussion or arguing?


It is undeniable that “advances” in science have enabled man to produce “unnatural” natural events ; cloud seeding is an innocent example, earthquakes a much more sinister one. Man has used both within the last 10 years and one with devastating consequences.


There are people who believe in “conspiracy theories” …. they suspect that global warming is a “beat-up”, a rumour started to instil fear and turmoil within society.

They claim there is a world “elite” who plan to establish a one world government to govern and control all nations. They claim the “elite” realise people will only agree to this “New World Order” if there has been a preceding period of fear and turmoil.

The conspiracy theorists claim global warming climate change are not real but have been used to produce fear and turmoil.

I contend climate change is real even if they are not occurring all over the world. My question is the extent to which carbon emissions are causing the climate change.

Surely combustion of wood and coal has occurred on a wide scale since the industrial revolution ?

Besides maybe climate change will be less urgent now ? Has it been surpassed as the global threat ?

I wonder if Miss Thunberg will have something to say about the new one ?

Global Warming: Is it real or is it propaganda?



Temperature Patterns are Cyclical
Whether one lives in Washington, Wellington or Walmington-On-Sea, the temperatures recorded through history fit within a range of highs and lows and periods that appear to run in cycles are warmer or cooler. Those who do not believe in global warming point to the historical records and therefore claim global warming is a fiction.


Unfortunately, we do not have historical temperature records for the oceans and seas which are clearly affected by pollution and warming. It is claimed there is a continent of plastic and other waste, the size of Texas, which floats in the Pacific Ocean.

Marine scientists tell us fine plastic particles can be found throughout the marine world, even at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.


Evidently the plastic pollution has affected ocean currents, directly, indirectly, or both, to the extent that many have slowed if not stopped .


I do not know whether the currents in themselves influence water temperatures but there is ample evidence of melting polar ice and the resultant desalination which scientists claim has almost stopped the Gulf Stream current.

The warming of the oceans has produced not only rising sea levels but hurricanes, cyclones, tornados , deluge rainfalls and cataclysmic flooding events throughout the world. These, along with earthquakes, are occurring with increasing frequency and increasing intensity.

So does global warming exist? Does it depend on what you mean by global? Has warming occurred everywhere ? probably not. Has climate change occurred every where ? No. But then they don’t talk of global climate change.

Steve Jobs would have made a much better President than Trump.

But that's comparing apples to oranges.


and where do nepotists spend their days?

in banana republics

It is true they have their own bible … they don't believe that Jesus is God …

they changed John 1v1 to read:

In the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was a god.

The 7th day of the week is the Sabbath … no doubt about that … the Jews have kept it faithfully so we know when it occurs.

I guess the apparent arbitrary placement of the International dateline could raise a query?

Can you show me a script or Law in Genesis where God commanded Adam to keep the Sabbath? And which day is Sabbath according to your biblical findings? Moses 1st wrote the Law of Sabbath in [Exodus 20:11].

Hi tdion

Thanks for your post.

I am no expert and I cannot show you in Genesis where God commanded the keeping of the Sabbath. However Genesis 2 v2-3 describes the beginning of Sabbath observance and God sanctified it, making it Holy.

He then set the example by complying with its requirements so I cannot imagine that Adam and Eve would not observe it to honour God as their creator. That was one of the reasons for its inception. It just makes sense to me that they were expected to recognise and keep it.

Cain slew Abel and God punished him (Gen 4v12) but we don't find in Genesis, the giving of those ceremonial laws. In Gen 26v5 God explains that Abraham obeyed his voice, kept his charge, his commandments, his statutes and laws. It appears that Cain and Abraham knew laws existed although the giving of the is not recorded in Genesis.. The giving of the commandments to Israel at Mt Sinai was a fair bit later.


I believe God's people have kept the Sabbath from the time it was first given. I acknowledge that at Mt Sinai it was formalised, set in stone but there was the law not given to Jews and Gentiles?


Maybe you can help me identify who are the Jews … some claim the whole 10 tribes were, but I understood that one inherits from the maternal line so given Judah was Jewish and his mother was Leah, then the descendants of Reuben, Simeon and Levi must also be Jewish since they were full brothers of Judah.

Maybe anyone can become Jewish by going to the synagogue?

Adam began keeping the Sabbath when creation occurred.

In Genesis 49v10 the sceptre which was the rod of authority was given to Judah. This meant Judah was made responsible for maintaining, upholding and recording, God's law which was later to be known as the 10 commandments.

At Mt Sinai God's law was confirmed and was written on 2 stone tablets by God.

The Jews have continued from that time till now, copying and upholding the law as it was written in the Torah.

This responsibility given to Judah was to be retained by the Jews until Shiloh. In Daniel 9v24-27 his prophecy confirmed that the scepter would pass to Jesus.

When Jesus came he kept the Sabbath and the Jews have continued doing so right up to the present day.. That is how we know which day is the Sabbath. And Jesus said that not one letter, not one jot or tittle would pass from the law until the law and prophecy was fulfilled.

Jesus said that if one breaks one of the 10 commandments confirmed at Mt Sinai, you break them all.

The owners of the banks own the world …

they own the money in the world bank, the IMF, the centrals banks of virtually every country in the world...

they also own the shares in multi-national corporations

in the 1980s Milton Friedman from the University of Chicago crusaded for the free market and the libertarian economic model …. (he was given a Nobel peace prize)

Reagonomics, Thatchernomics you know them, (in your country New Zealanders had Rogernomics because they were well and truly "Rogered").


The adoption of libertarianism and the global free market throughout the world has enabled the bankers to force countries and local authorities to sell off their infra-structural assets. Eventually the shares in the companies which own those assets are owned by the banking elite.

They also own the media corporations and the politicians.

Today conspiracy theories abound … the latest of course relates to the new pandemic and the inevitable question about who could make a buck out of all this

Perhaps we should ask who controls the media

and perhaps we could ask whether they control governments' economic and foreign policies

and my reference to governments includes not only anglo-america (the 5 eyes nations) and the NATO countries, but virtually every country in the world which is being strangled by debt
