Hollywood Interrupted.

2009-11-10T09:40:56+01:00

Hollywood Interrupted,
Tells of a place corrupted,
A place without sense,
Where the people are all dense,
Andre Bretbart and Mark Ebner,
Neither one a pardoner,
Talk of Hollywood, a psychiatrist’s bazaar,
As there all completely bonkers are,
Their heads in celluloid,
This to their brains a haemorrhoid,
And so it is their state,
Themselves to greatly rate,
Yet though to themselves the highest of the high,
They must in the ratings daily higher fly,
So with views they daily need,
For popularity to plead.

In Hollywood Scientology naturally succeeds,
Because it the crackpot line exceeds,
And appeals to those with half a brain,
Who can n’er a thought retain,
Read this book and see Hollywooders have in life no size,
And know you can safely them despise.

Are Barclays bankers Satanists?

2009-11-08T12:26:29+01:00

I think they are and feel that it was an outrage for one for them to go into a Church and say that they weren’t.

A Satanist has a moral obligation to lie to others, to deceive them and to cheat them out of their money whenever possible.

Barclays Bank has lied to its customers.

Barclays Bank has deceived its customers.

Barclays Bank has cheated its customers out of money. (I know this one because I was a customer of Barclays Bank for many years. So long in fact that when I finally left, it felt like I was cutting off my right arm. But they were cheats, and much as I wanted to stay with an organisation which had been a part of my life for so long, I really had no option but to leave. Just because a cheat stays within the letter of the law, it doesn’t mean they aren’t cheats.)

Consequently if Barclays Bank fulfils the criteria which defines a Satanist, shouldn’t good Christians refrain from banking with them?

Dealing with The Credit Crunch.

2009-11-06T21:22:04+01:00

The government when dealing with the Credit Crunch,
Needs to tax things a bunch,
So more V.A.T.,
We should therefore see,
On magazines and newspapers,
For though they think themselves our shapers,
They entertainment only are,
Of celebrity and gossip a bazaar,
So the government should not be lax,
And to media magnates take the axe.

V.A.T. should be on books as well,
And government all arguments should quell,
For publisher to readers are unfair,
And charge what it will the market bear,
And so vat upon a book,
Would not expense for readers cook,
As anyone can deduce,
Profits publishers will must reduce,
And the government would more taxes take,
And this life for all would easier make,

It’s fair newspapers should have on them vat,
As the tycoons are far too fat,
And they also prices can’t increase,
As that circulation would decrease,
And advertisers would have less to pay,
As that’s the media way,
So if books and newspapers had V.A.T. the same,
It would help the greedy tame,
So I call on writers to unite,
And the underpayers bite.

Why it's time to put up the shutters and trust no one.

2009-11-06T10:45:49+01:00

In today’s European Union everyone supposedly has the right to pursue the religion of their choice and also to follow its dictates, provided those dictates do not conflict with EU legislation.

Consequently, if someone would like to be a Satanist, they are legally entitled to be Satanists. The fact that this religion encourages people to lie, cheat and steal and also to grab for themselves whatever they can is not a concern of the EU because under EU legislation, people who choose to believe in this are perfectly entitled to.

In consequence, as there was nothing illegal in the misselling of insurance policies it is impossible to tell a Satanist who missold an insurance policy that they had done something wrong. They were, after all, according to their religion, doing the right thing. In fact, in any court, any misseller of insurance policies who claims that because they are Satanist and the misselling insurance policies is a religious obligation, would have to be allowed to leave the courtroom without a stain on their character.

Also, the fact that any true Satanist believes in breaking any EU law if they can get away with it is also non of the EU’s business because, every person has the right to follow the religion of their choice.

So, we now know that a Satanist will feel morally obliged to lie to you, try to cheat you and also try to steal your property if they think they can get away with it, and, according to EU legislation, you can’t discriminate against a Satanist just because they are a Satanist. You can’t even warn your neighbours of the dangers they face because it’s blackening the Satanist’s character without legal proof of wrongdoing.

Getting away with it is a good Satanist’s creed and remembering that when it comes to defrauding others, the EU courts in this country have to prove intent to deceive, to many of the more savvy Satanists, defrauding you and stealing your property is likely to be a breeze. Best of all is the fact that because the EU prosecutors can’t prove intent, there’s nothing you, the victim, will be able to do about it.

The EU now has no moral legitimacy.

2009-11-04T19:36:17+01:00

The EU, in fact, does not have the moral right to rule over free born Britons.

The election of New Labour at the last election was conditional on the promise that we would have a referendum on the EU Constitution/Treaty. The people would be allowed to have their say.

However, with some fancy footwork New Labour broke its promise to the voters. As a result of the election pledge it did not have the moral right to sign the Treaty of Lisbon without a referendum.

The result of this is that now, the police, the judges and the prison guards have the legal right to force everyone here to obey laws which are, in essence, simply extensions of EU legislation, but they don’t have the moral right to do so.

A policeman nowadays is nothing but an EU alsation whose well paid job is to ensure that we all obey the dictates handed down from Brussels.

What is morally right and what is morally wrong?

If the ex-government of this country was unable to differentiate, one can rest assured that the new government with its Berlusconi types certainly doesn’t.

If our local legislators in Westminster and the government in Brussels don’t know what is morally right or wrong, why should the people be expected to know?

There is no right or wrong any more. In modern society there is only EU legislation and the policeman’s ability to enforce the decisions of his masters in Brussels.

What’s the Footsie really worth?

2009-11-03T19:28:42+01:00

Although the FTSE 100 now stands at 5041 which is a great improvement on last year, when one considers that a great deal of the money the government has printed has found its way into the stock market, a figure of 5,041 may not show the true worth of the market.

Consequently, to find out what the market is really worth it might be an idea to use the gold comparator.

For example on January 3rd, 2006 the market stood at 5,618 while gold, as best as I can ascertain, stood at £300 per ounce.

Now, if we take a point in the Footsie to equal a pound we can say that on January 3rd, 2006 the Footsie was worth 18.72 ounces of gold.

However, today the FTSE 100 was at 5,041 and gold stood at £657.91 and that means that today, the Footsie is worth only 7.66 ounces of gold and that is a tremendous collapse from the high in 2006. 18.72 to 7.66!!!!

If you use a silver comparator you will find much the same kind of thing.

According to the gold comparator, for the market to be worth today what it was worth on January 3rd, 2006, the Footsie should stand at around 12,316!!!!!

It’s amazing what spin doctors can do with a bit of quantitative easing.

---

Imagine things would be more interesting if jounalists started using a gold or silver comparator to keep us abreast of the state of the economy. It might even be fun if they used the Mars Bar comparator as that had quite an established record before they started changing the size of a Mars Bar.

The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly.

2009-10-28T18:58:12+01:00

The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly.
A book which makes some cry,
A book so beautiful,
As it is of spirit full,
Written by an eyelid,
Which did for freedom bid,
Saying ‘Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage.’
This book will with your heart engage,
And you to great places take.
By Jean-Dominique Bauby it was written,
And you will be by courage smitten.

A truly great book.

BioHazard by Ken Alibek.

2009-10-27T11:05:46+01:00

Do you believe in The Bible?

Do you believe in Revelations and the four horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Read this book and you’ll that there is real truth in the ancient predictions of world terror and death.

Everyone thinks that a bioweapon will simply result in the deaths of millions of people but what they don’t realise is that those millions will die slow, lingering and excruciatingly painful deaths.

Reading like an exciting novel this autobiography was almost impossible to put down. Some paragraphs do contain a few long, medical words but despite this it is very accessible to anyone of reasonable intelligence.

However, this is a book about the ultimate terror and on the grounds that ignorance is bliss, I really don’t recommend that you read it unless you have a specific interest in bioweaponry.

(The deadly nature of the new super bugs and viruses developed in Russia mean that it is possible for a single bio attack to kill a billion or more people. The reason for this is that no one will know a bio attack has taken place until one or two weeks after the attack. Consequently, in our high-speed inter-related world, by the time anyone realises an attack has taken place those in the attack zone will have travelled the world, jostled their way through crowds, shaken hands with friends and business associates and also hugged and kissed their loved ones. Of course that number doesn't include those who went to the cinema, crowded round a roulette table or attended demonstrations, music festivals and other political rallies.)

Why I’m Voting BNP.

It’s the sicko lefties who are the fascists.

It’s the sicko lefties who are using violence to try and stifle free speech.

The BNP has never interfered with a sicko lefty parade or speech and so it seems to me that the BNP are more in favour of free speech than the sicko lefties are.

There are six zeroes in a million,

That eighteen zeroes make a squillion.

Globalisation has meant that the British have conceded to the Yanks and so British billions and trillions are now the same as American ones. (We have to let our Yankee friends win the odd battle, it's diplomacy.)

But, who is to decide what 18 zeroes are going to be called?

We were Soldiers Once… And Young.

2009-10-20T20:23:29+02:00

If you enjoy military history this is an excellent book about the first major battle between the Americans and North Vietnamese Army.

At first I thought it was just a little long-winded but then realised that the author, Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore, was making sure that every man who fought under his command at Ia Drang got his name mentioned.

A first class book. In fact this book is so good that I wouldn’t bother going to see the film as it would only spoil it. (it's generally always best to see the film before you read the book. If you read the book first it's usually best to forgo the film.)

Understanding the terrorist threat.

2009-10-15T19:53:28+02:00

There is, unfortunately, a plethora of books on the terrorist threat and the average person is just far to busy to read them all and so, for an overview of the situation, it is important to find some books which are both solid and sensible.

To fill this gap I would not hesitate to recommend ‘The Next Attack’ by Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon. However, I will say that by the time you reach the end of this book you will see that the whole situation is infinitely more complex than the media would have us believe.

A most informative read.

Winning the lottery.

2009-10-15T10:23:11+02:00

The girl the old man,
After ran,
His heart did lech,
So he his arms did forward stretch,
But none were bold,
So none him told,
That he twenty was no more,
As that would cut him to the core,
And so the truth they stalled,
When him ‘a dirty old man’ they called.

But of course,
Every story has a source,
So if the old man the lottery could win,
He to his heart’s content could sin,
As many girls would his wrinkled face not see,
And he to them would just twenty be.

Tony’s Hand.

Tony’s hand,

Refused to it shake,
And said that he would it not grip
Because it with blood did drip,
And that Tony the killer,
Was of war a swiller.

Doesn’t Tony Blair sometimes seem to strangely stare?

2009-10-09T09:30:51+02:00

Please, please,
I will you not tease,
But psychiatrists now need,
To do the world a decent deed,
Because Tony Blair,
Who for himself does only care,
Is confident,
He’ll be the EU president,
But it to everyone with memory is plain,
He is really quite insane,
So if three psychiatrists would him kindly certify,
This the fact in law would clarify,
And we him could then lock up,
So he would be in a padded room banged-up,
Then the world could cheer,
Knowing he his own fate did engineer.

Ebay calamity.

2009-10-06T11:17:33+02:00

There was a time when I used to spend hours on ebay looking for the unusual things I like to buy but these days I hardly ever bother - everything has changed and the new procedures make it all just too much trouble to bother with.

A long, long time ago when I used to use Amazon I eventually got fed up with being advertised to death and stopped using the site. Now it’s the same with ebay - I feel I’m being advertised to death and so these days I need to have a serious need for something before I will bother.

More importantly,

I’ve just flatly refused to pay for an item I’ve bought in auction. It used to be that when you won an item and clicked the ‘pay-now’ button you were taken directly to paypal and you, the buyer, told paypal to pay the seller the required amount. But now things have changed and when I won this item and clicked the pay-now button, I was taken straight to the seller's checkout page where I was expected to enter MY paypal log-in details before payment could be completed.

Well excuse me!

I’m not putting ‘my’ paypal log-in details on someone else’s computer. Especially a site that has triggered a security warning on my computer when I went there.

Ebay, I suppose, was fun while it lasted but now the fraudsters are mushrooming and it will become harder and harder for users of the site to avoid being cheated. But even if ebay offers to refund any stolen monies, it’s all a lot of aggravation - an awful lot of aggravation.

Gordon Brown’s dilemma.

2009-10-01T09:23:35+02:00

This post has been removed.
Because it was sympathetic to Gordon Brown
And his media trouble.
But then I remembered that New Labour
Had guaranteed us a referendum
On the EU treaty
And then with a bit of fancy footwork,
A treaty that was a treaty but wasn’t,
And a change of leadership,
The people of this country
Were denied the right to vote,
On the treaty.

It was treachery,
And Gordon Brown,
Proved himself to be,
Like tony blair,
Nothing but,
A treacherous,
Self-serving,
Rat.

The Satanic European Union.

2009-09-28T09:21:10+02:00

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.

Is New Labour is a kakistocracy?

Derren Brown and the magic lottery numbers.

2009-09-12T19:47:46+02:00

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.

Paper.

2009-09-10T09:35:44+02:00

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?

The pound in your pocket they devalue,
And this will spank,

And these their teeth will gnash,
When soon it’s said that cash is trash.
