Looking at life

If you world governments don’t trust,
And think they’ll all go bust,
You in your hand should hold,
A glittering piece of gold,
As gold has proven in the past,
It can all governments outlast.

In Ireland the Devil worshipping Europeans in Brussels are using vast amounts of taxpayer money to promote their agenda whereas those who are against the Treaty are being forced to find their own money.

The Satanists in Brussels care not for decency or fair play. This is nothing but a demonic grab for power which puts the Satanists at the top and the rest of us at the bottom.

In Ireland we are witnessing a great battle between the believers in good and the Devil worshippers in Brussels. But the demonic Satanists clearly have the upper hand because they have access to taxpayer money whereas those who oppose them don’t.

Are bank staff as guilty as their masters?

If the guards at Auschwitz were not allowed to excuse themselves by saying that they were just following orders, why should banking employees be allowed to say they are just following orders?

If you put Satan's coin in your pocket for doing his bidding, are you not as guilty as Satan himself?

According to Dr. Johnson's dictionary which was published in 1755 the word Kakistocracy refers to a form of government whose rulers are the least competent, least qualified or most unprincipled of all citizens.

{Found this interesting piece of information from the comments on clampers in today's Daily Mail.}

Sniper One,
Is loads of fun,
Filled with adrenaline,
And testosterone,
Sgt. Mills does the reader win,
With a story that’s his own.

'effing excellent.'

Listening to the BBC one can't help but get the impression that anyone who criticises Obama is nothing but a bigoted racist.

Nobody saw Derren Brown's lottery selection until after everyone had seen the genuine lottery results - the rest, as they say, is magic. It's similar to the many magicians who have correctly predicted the winner of the Grand National!!!

It's a new slant on an old trick but much as I enjoy Derren Brown's show, I was a little disappointed in his explanation. I think he should have just remained enigmatic.

Personally I've often thought of using Bayes' Subjective Theory of Probability for picking horses, roulette numbers and/or the winning lottery numbers, but although it can find atom bombs lost in the ocean and sunken submarines such as the Scorpion, I don't think it can be used to pick the lottery numbers.

Note: As best as I can tell, although he didn't actually mention any names, Derren Brown claims to have used Thomas Bayes' theory of subjective probability to pick his numbers. But, no one knew Derren Brown's selection until after the geniune lottery numbers had become common knowledge and therein lies the flaw - or the magic.

Wars for religion,
Have in the past been legion,
And have brought many grief,
Because society is built upon belief.

Historically, as any group did upwards reach,
They their belief did children teach,
And so the group took on a form,
Which did to belief conform.

Then different groups did their beliefs dispute,
And arguments left all destitute,
But as belief gave each group its shape,
Who could the arguments escape?

But over time groups did expand,
As people more did understand,
And through adversities,
Groups became societies,

But now our society believes that paper money,
Should to everyone be honey,
So bits of paper now abound,
Will the future you astound?

For what does paper really mean?
This few today to see are keen.
But as in paper most believe,
They over paper many grieve.

But paper has a flow,
And now that winds begin to blow,
Who does know,
To where from here we’ll go?

If you have a military bent, this book by Keith W. Nolan is absolutely excellent.

Ripcord was just a single battle in 1970 but the author is able to see the big picture, the generals, the officers and also the grunts.

You'd have to go a long way to find another book as good as this on Vietnam. I loved every page.
