Whose halo shone like a star
Attracted here we are to write
Like moths to a light so bright

The people have awoken to the evil doctrine that Cunliffe, Parker, King, Goff, Mallard, and the rest of Labour no-hopers spout. Must really be hurting at mainstream media, and S Smith’s State funded home.

A Code Red World
By John Mauldin | Oct 26, 2013

Looks like a great but grim read. Central bankers will be stealing from savers (retiriees etc) who will watch inflation climb. The winners will be the property investors which in NZ will be underpinned by a stifling silence maintained by moving forward multiculturalism and open borders sentiment on the left and their partners in business riding an immigration sugar rush under the guise of need gib stoppers and agglomeration (alleged) benefits.
He says Western countries are failing to grow and I would have thought it is obvious that countries have a certain level of potential?

The chancellor must appear outraged enough to reflect German and European outrage over the allegations, yet she must also avoid publicly denouncing Berlin’s most important ally, the United States.

Is European outrage about NSA spying revelations serious or just pandering to voters?

Also, will NSA chief James Clapper resign? He misled the president and lied under oath to congress.

hj,

Your expert appears to be so only in his own mind. Deleted from Wikipedia:

The article is actually a self advertisement by an entity claiming to be an investment advising business whose principal is “John Mauldin”. The text is copied from the biography page at “John Mauldin’s” Web site.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/John_Mauldin

So not someone of genuine renown it would seem. But one of self aggrandizement perhaps.

@ hj:

This is not really something new for Mauldin. He has seen this coming for years. But he has held out hopes that the politicians would come to their senses and end this massive money experiment of creating tonnes of new “money” and credit out of thin air. They haven’t.

I remember reading one of Mauldin’s books about five years ago. It was called Bulls-Eye Investing, or something similar. The last sentence of the book was this:

“And buy GOLD!”

Happy Labour Day. The commie equivalent, May Day (May 1st) is reputed to be the anniversary of the founding of the illuminati in 1776. Given the illuminati is behind both communism and capitalism, that’s really no surprise, is it. Also that it’s a satanic holiday. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/cienciareal/cienciareal20.htm

The Oil Drum site has stalled as the peak oil debate seems to have ground to a stalemate. The quote about the stone age not ending because we ran out of stone and the oil age won’t end because we ran out of oil implied it will end because we find an appropriate alternative. You would assume there would be no cheating such as global warming denial, but Julian Simon was an early skeptic.

It is refreshing to read the thoughts of some of the principle bloggers who have disperssed, such as Matt Hagens at The Monkey Trap

http://www.themonkeytrap.us/

Twenty (Important) Concepts I Wasn’t Taught in Business School – Part I

20. Economic ‘laws’ were created during and based on a non-repeatable period of human history
19. The economy is a subset of the environment, not vice versa
18. Energy is almost everything
17. Cheap energy, not technology, has been the main driver of wealth and productivity
16. Energy is special, is non-substitutable in the production function, and has an upward sloping long term cost curve
15. Energy has costs in energy terms, which can differ significantly than dollar signals
14. Money/financial instruments are just markers for real capital
13. Our money is created by commercial banks out of thin air (deposits and loans are created at same time)
12. Debt is a non-neutral intertemporal transfer
11. Energy measured in energy terms is the cost of capital

Like the Austrian economists have been saying for years now, Mauldin sounds like he can finally see the end game of the great monetary experiment by the Central Banks.

When it comes to investing in a debasing fiat currency system, I always come back to the great Austrian Ludwig Von Mises immemorial quote from his book “Human Action”

“The wavelike movement affecting the economic system, the recurrence of periods of boom which are followed by periods of depression, is the unavoidable outcome of the attempts, repeated again and again, to lower the gross market rate of interest by means of credit expansion. There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved”

Plan accordingly

“Banks create money out of thin air” ; so no banks ever go broke then, when they don’t have enough money, they just crate more ? Sounds like a bullshit theory to me.

And RIP Lou Reed, one of my all time favourites Rock and Roll Animal, that’s a great tribute Longknives. And All of Tomorrow’s Parties, Heroin, Waiting for my Man ($26 in my hand). Not so sure about Songs for Drella, and The Blue Mask can be very depressing to listen to for any length, but a ground breaker indeed.

New Zealand must be the only country in the world where there is no TV midday news report on holidays because the newsreaders take the day off as well. Surely there are reporters coming up through the ranks who would love to have a go? Or do the whole production crew have the day off as well? It’s ridiculous. 😕

Further to Okday-sen at 9.40:

NZ’s borders are very soon going to come under pressure from the people smugglers.

Some suggestions on countering this.

Tell the United Nations to get rooted.

One, hire some of the international security firms that are helping beat Somali piracy, just as in Elizabethan and later times when state navies were too small for their tasks, privateers were commissioned.

Tell the UN to get rooted.

Two, offer bounties for catching illegals who have sneaked in.

Tell the UN to get rooted.

Three, remove provision of automatic citizenship for children of illegals born in NZ.

Tell the UN to get rooted.

Four, maintain a modest quota of legal entry for genuine refugees (not economic refugees), and keep rigidly to it. The quota should be within limits of legal ability and broadly within the rights of NZ people to decide their own genetic future.

Tell the UN to get rooted.

Five, if all else fails send out hit squads to kill the smugglers (not the refugees).

Tell the UN to get rooted.

There was a news item yesterday where an Oz Green was blaming the new govt there for future events ie container loads of dead illegal immigrants will be opened on wharves in NZ and Oz (not their own fault because they themselves pay criminals to smuggle them but because the Oz govt is protecting its own borders.)

So any deaths are Tony Abbots fault!

Fletch – You can’t fucking do anything without running into a news bulletin these days – what are ya talkin about?

There’s the morning news. Evening news. Late evening news. Radio news. News online. Pay news channels. Newspaper.

Then on Freeview news +1 which means on a weekday you can catch the news six times out of sixteen waking hours. Not including Prime News. Why you’d watch that shitarse thing I don’t know but it’s there.

Yep – why not provide a midday service as per usual, sure. I’m certain you’ll survive the blip on the normally saturated newsdar however. 🙂

Appropos the ‘boat people’

Despite the current legislation being a deterent, one wonders what will/would (take your pick) happen if labour and the gweens were to become the government.

Based on past experience (the zhoui case), the liberal/socialist mindset and the ease with which labour and the gweens can overturn pre-existing legislation in this country, does the readership consider that is it highly-probable that any ‘illegals’ will be welcomed with open arms ‘in the name of humanity’ of course?

I could perhaps be wrong, but it seems highly-likely that when a boat full of these people, is sighted off the NZ coat, the MSM will be slavering with excitement and that any of these supposed ‘refugees’ who set foot on NZ soil would be welcomed like conquering hero’s by a swarm of overly-excited (probably young, female) reporters.

Is this a likely scenario?

Kowtow, it’s interesting that here in Australia every asylum seeker death was blamed by conservatives on either Rudd or Gillard. But when the loss of life continued after the election, Abbott wasn’t held responsible.

Rudd was also blamed for accidental deaths of workers installing roof solar panels under a government subsidised program.

Hypocrisy isn’t limited to any particular ideology, but in this case the right owns it in spades.

Yep ASK and a few others are really bad infections. I use Avast free antivirus, It’s a little resource heavy but it does the job. With using the freewares available you have to back up the main antivirus with another freeware security prog and a good one is the old time favorite Adaware antivirus, you have to shutdown Avast or your other antivirus’s shields to allow another to install but Adaware has been redesigned to work in conjunction with a systems primary antivirus. It will ask you once it auto detects the other one.

If you think your safe at this stage? well you’re not, you have to firm up your browser with blockers and addons.

I use firefox as IE is the most hacked and hackable browser on the planet. Firefox comes with community addons for security and Mozilla has just released lightbeam, a graphical rep addon that allows you to see your connections when your on different sites. It has a unlimited amount of addons but i stick with the most popular. Those are Addblock plus =( There are several adblock separate progs available that work in with each other ), ghostery, Noscript.

The rest of the addons are for whatever you like after you learn them, they’re all for free. The one thing one must do is eliminate the popup ads as well as the other stuff that can slow down your browser loading.

If you’re on Mac, well i can’t help you.

I was at the bar the other night and overheard three very hefty women talking at the bar. Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked, “Hello, are you three lassies from Scotland ?”

One of them angrily screeched, “It’s Wales , Wales you bloody idiot!”

Therefore, I apologized and replied, “I am so sorry. Are you three whales from Scotland ?”

And that’s the last thing I remember.

One day, a father and his 14 year old son are in the bus.

The son sees a stunning redhead and yells, ‘hey babe, you’ve got some nice tits!’

The father, a religious man, thinks his son needs correction and sends him to a Catholic boarding school.

Six months later the son comes home for the weekend, and again he and his father are on the bus.

A nice blonde with a huge rack is sitting opposite of them. The father wants to know if the school taught him better manners, so he says: ‘Son, have you seen that blonde? What a nice breasts!’

‘Well’, the son says, ‘what would one do with breasts… but have you seen that bus driver’s arse?’

here’s nothing worse than a Doctor’s Receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you, in a room full of other patients. I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it.
A 75-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The Receptionist said, ‘Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?’
‘There’s something wrong with my dick’, he replied.
The receptionist became irritated and said, ‘You shouldn’t come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that.’
‘Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,’ he said.
The Receptionist replied; ‘Now you have caused some needless embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.’
The man replied, ‘You should not ask people questions in a roomful of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone.’ The man then decided to walk out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.
The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, ‘Yes??’
‘There’s something wrong with my ear,’ he stated loudly.
The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. ‘What is wrong with your ear, Sir?’
‘I can’t piss out of it,’ he replied.
The waiting room erupted in laughter

A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely
stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big open-mouthed kiss, then
says she’ll see him later and walks away.

The wife glares at her husband and says, “Who was that?”

“Oh,” replies the husband, “she’s my mistress.”

“Well, that’s the last straw,” says the wife. “I’ve had enough, I want a divorce!”

“I can understand that,” replies her husband, “but remember, if we get a divorce
it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no
more summers in Tuscany , no more Jaguar in the garage and no more yacht club.
No more credit card and large Bank accounts. But…. The decision is all yours.”

Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm.

“Who’s that woman with Tony?” asks the wife.

“That’s his mistress,” says her husband.
“ours is prettier” says the wife

Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When little Johnny received his plate, he started eating straight away.

“Johnny, wait until we’ve said our prayer,” his mother reminded him.

“I don’t have to.” – the little boy replied.

“Of course you do.” – his mother insisted. “We say a prayer before eating at our house.”

“That’s at our house,” Johnny explained, “but this is Grandma’s house and she knows how to cook.”

W ORLD WAR III

‘Wow, this is a real honour!
What are you guys doing in here?’
Obama says, ‘We’re planning WW III.’
The guy says, ‘Really?
What’s going to happen?’

‘A blonde with big tits?

Why kill a blonde with big tits?’

Don’t’ Do This!

You wouldn’t do anything as crazy as putting your cell phone in the microwave, would you?

What if someone told you it was a fast and easy way to recharge your device?

That’s the message in an alarming email that’s currently doing the rounds. The “tip” has also been seen on the Tumblr blogging site and a number of other social networks.

It claims your phone will recharge in seconds, adding: “This works because microwaves use the same principle as wireless charging pads, by rearranging the electrons in your (phone’s) battery.

It then purports to link to a (non-existent) research page at Harvard University.

Phooey!

Don’t do it!

Common sense should tell you that not only will this not work, but it’s also highly dangerous.

You’ll fry your phone, possibly damage your microwave irreparably and maybe cause more widespread damage or even personal injury.

The Italian Secret to a Long Marriage

At St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Adelaide , they have weekly husbands’ marriage seminars.

At the session last week, the priest asked Giuseppe, who said he was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.

Giuseppe replied to the assembled husbands, ‘Wella, I’va tried to treat her nicea, spenda da money on her, but besta of all is, I tooka her to Italy for the 25th anniversary!’

The priest responded, ‘Giuseppe, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?’

Giuseppe proudly replied,

” I gonna go pick her up.”

WHAT CAUSES ARTHRITIS?

A drunk man who smelled of
beer sat down on a
subway next to a priest.
The man’s
tie was stained, his face was plastered

with red lipstick, and
a half-empty
bottle of gin was sticking out of his

torn coat pocket. He
opened his
newspaper and began reading.

After a few minutes the man turned to
the priest and asked, “Say Father, what causes
arthritis?”

The priest replies, “My Son, it’s
caused by loose living,

being with cheap, wicked women,

too much alcohol, contempt for your
fellow man,
sleeping around with prostitutes and lack of a
bath”

The drunk muttered in response, “Well, I’ll be damned,

Then returned to
his
paper.

The priest, thinking about what he had said,

nudged the man and
apologized. “I’m
very sorry.

I didn’t mean to come on so strong.

How long have you had
arthritis?”

The drunk answered, “I don’t have it, Father.

I was just reading here
that the
Pope does.”

My wife never ceases to amaze me.

Just as I was beginning to think that all the romance had gone out of the bedroom she goes and farts the theme to Love Story.

What a fucking wasteland.

You’re right of course Red, much better to use GD for cutting and pasting swaths of conservonutter crap off the net from the States and promoting the Peoples Republic of Singapore as nivarna.

And ya puppy D4J is always remembered for his incisive comments on things political and that of the NZ Justice System as well.

You two are just the best really, noted by all for your brilliant minds, silly me , must give self an upper cut for forgetting this.

PS: Good to see that you finally realised Eric Blair was a socailist and you’ve taken a quote from him off your banner. No flies on you son, you are a fucking legend.

I think the Red troll creature is actually a simple computer program dreamt up by a bored kid.

Evidence of this is the general lack of humanity and the banal repetitiveness of the posts.

What ever the thing is, it is clearly not human. 🙂
