The Bastardised Politics of Demonism

Our society is a bastardised hybrid of Democracy, Oligarchy, Capitalism and Communism... It is basically Kleptocratic Demonism.  (I am so copyrighting that).

We work in jobs for the private, free-market sector (capitalism) and hand more than half our earnings to the democratically elected state that is run by an oligarchy (the Economic Management Council Gang of Four)... who pretend to give us back the value of those taxes in public state services - health, education, infrastructure (communism).

The entire purpose and function of our publicly elected (democratic) unaccountable government (oligarchy) is the confiscation of private asset wealth (capital) ... from your house to the money in your pocket... (communism).  The destruction of the middle class will leave a two tier society of rulers and ruled.  The 0.01% and the 99.99%.

The State has abandoned the Constitution.

The family home is not protected...therefore the family is not protected...and in fact the destruction of the family by an adversarial family law system and the eviction of families in the commercial courts are huge business to the state and its elite insiders - the judiciary and law society.

We have no universal or absolute rights. We have pseudo-rights granted at the discretion of the State.

Every area of our lives is prescribed by the state.
"Community" has been dismantled and destroyed.
Governance is centralised, limited and dictatorial.

Our democratic voice is silenced by a fascist system with no consequence for corruption and abuse.
There is no longer any political ideology in public life.

There is no public service - only self service.
There is no public interest - only private interest.
There is no public policy - only corporate policy.

Those who are state insiders (public officials) act with impunity even when they hock our natural resources which are the property of the people held in trust by the state for financial or political profit.

Those who are outsiders (the citizens) are punished to the point of the removal of their freedom by imprisonment for minimal and inconsequential misdemeanors like not paying a tv license.

We are at a crossroads ...

to the left, the path to a communist welfare state where all are equal standing in the queue for bread and milk from the soup kitchen and a bed in the hostel.

to the right, the path to a world divided up by all powerful corporations (The Hunger Games) who control production and consumption where all are equal working for minimum wage and being able to afford the same amount of bread and milk and a subscription to zombie tv.

straight ahead we continue along the path we're on ... where the hybrid Demonist state, run by democratically elected corporate salesmen who answer to unelected boards of directors, taking 70% of our wages to give us back 10% in services, paying itself the other 60% and all are equal in their fear and distrust of their neighbours who the media says resents them because they have more bread and milk then them, or can't be trusted because they have less bread and milk than them.
the only other path is to turn around and go back the way we came ... to the country some of us remember.

Of course we can't "undo" development, progress, technological advancement etc. But what we CAN do is START AGAIN.

We CAN turn the clock back 100 years to the beginning of time ... the beginning of our time ... of our country ... not our "state"...our COUNTRY!

We can start again by restating our independence (leave the EU), our neutrality (end Air Base Shannon), our principles (reinstate the original Constitution), reform our parliamentary system (by outlawing corporate influence and the whip system), reclaim our resources (before TTIP removes that possibility forever), rebuild our economy (with agriculture, fisheries, tourism, IT), reform our judicial system (by some form of public representation within it) and reverse the transfer of wealth back to those at the margins of society by making all taxation means tested (so that those with the most are directly responsible for the welfare of those who need the most) and reinstate our currency (indexed to the two most important currencies in our foreign trade - the dollar and sterling...not the deutsch mark and the franc !), backed by the value of the oil and gas resources of our off-shore "vaults".

The crossroads is the next general election because by the next one in 2121 it will be too late. I hope it's not already.

If we do not implement this critically important shift in direction for our society in this election, and it turns out to be just another general deception, then the electoral system will no longer be a feasible means to reclaim control of our futures.

At that point the people will have to recognise the two remaining alternatives: armed insurrection or deregistration. The first is unconscionable to a civilised society (but it remains an option nonetheless). The second is the effective denial of the authority of the 'state' by a free, independent, democratic populace. The time is getting closer and closer that this option must become a topic of serious debate ... because if it doesn't then we may as well give up our dreams of a life of happiness for ourselves and our descendants right now..today.

IF WE DON'T KNOW WHERE NOONAN'S MAGIC MONEY CAME FROM WE SHOULD AT LEAST DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING..!!



One of favourite songs ever is Earth, Wind and Fire's 'System of Survival'.

It's a classic 80s disco tune with amazing groove and lyrics that then AND now are deeply resonant to ordinary people...

e.g.:
"The Human Race is runnin' over me
I punch a clock at 9 and 5
Just tryin' to make a livin'

A plastic face on satellite TV
Says, "Life is filled with give and take"
He's takin' and I'm givin
So I dance...it's my system of survival"

"A city night
I walk a street in fear
While politicians brag about
A paperwork solution

Another life
I shed another tear
I'm waiting for somebody new
To lead the revolution
So I dance...it's my system of survival"

You should check out the video too ... it uses audio and video clips from US 80s news reports and starts with a reporter : "The biggest unanswered question is ... WHERE IS THE MONEY?"

A song for the '80s ... and 2015!

Fine Gael​ just got € 3 BILLION worth of FREE MONEY....  they didn't have to borrow it ... it doesn't have to be repaid to bondholders or anyone else ... it didn't cost them anything and it's € 2 BILLION more than they thought they were going to get just back in September .... JUST THREE MONTHS AGO!!

WAIT A MINUTE!!

In September the Irish Times reported that there was an extra € 1 BILLION in the kitty - just ahead of the budget..just in time to give out a few crumbs to the plebs to keep them quiet til the General Deception in the new year !??!
http://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/latest-figures-show-tax-revenue-almost-1bn-above-target-1.1915460

WERE THEY LYING??  WAS THE REAL AMOUNT of € 3 BILLION KNOWN AT THAT TIME??  DID THEY KEEP € 2 BILLION HIDDEN FROM THE PEOPLE??

It is possible, given that corporation tax filing date is Sep 23rd, that when the € 1 Billion figure was reported the true figure was not known ... but it is also possible that the government would have been more aware of the true actual figure by October 15th - budget day... by October 2nd the Irish Times had actually upped the windfall projection to € 2 BILLION...
http://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/tax-receipts-surge-as-coalition-gets-budget-windfall-1.2375275

AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE IT CAME FROM...!

Yeah right ... the revenue commissioners arrived at work one morning and discovered € 3 Billion wrapped in a blanket and left in a basket on their doorstep.

I already postulated on the provenance of this mircale money ... there's really only one place that amount can come from.  US multinationals releasing off-shore tax hauls through the Irish tax system where they will pay 12.5% (if you believe that) instead of the 35% they would pay in the US.  Nice savings if you can make them.

So if we don't know where it came from ... do we know where it's going?

This week the government announced € 5 million support for small businesses hit by storm Desmond and € 10 million for households which will be administered through Social Welfare Offices.

If there are 10,000 affected by the storm damage and flooding (which could get worse with continued rainfall), that's € 1,500 per home.  The price of a new settee and a bit of carpet.

It's likely that most of these households won't actually get any of this until after the Christmas period.

€ 15 million is 0.5% of the UNEXPECTED WINDFALL of € 3 BILLION euro ... it's not an insignificant gesture but when the government can make donations of anywhere between € 5 million and € 10 million to the CLINTON FOUNDATION..!?!?!? for the purposes of ... actually I have no idea what the purpose might be... then wouldn't it be nice to think that the Irish government would put more into helping Irish people than currying favour with Hillary Clinton? 

The Irish government (NO MATTER WHAT PARTY!!!) is in the pocket of the US ... and we need to keep potential US presidents sweet now, don't we...?

Noonan's Magic Money

This mystery € 3 billion...

That represents an increase in corporate profits of € 24 billion...

What business(es) are doing so well that their revenues are so through the roof that their profits are up by € 24 billion resulting in a payout to the Revenue of € 3 billion?

Not Irish businesses - that's for sure. With Enda Kenny and Michael Noonan doing their best to convince us they've performed some feat of economic alchemy to make Ireland the fastest growing economy in Europe you'd think we were back to the boom times.

Noonan himself on the Six One Lies on the day of the announcement admitted he has absolutely no idea where the money came from ... he just accepts what the Revenue tells him...

But businesses are closing EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK (240 jobs in ROCHE Pharmaceuticals in Nov and this week it was 98 jobs in SuperValu) ... so whose business has gone through the roof in 2015?

Nobodys!

It is most likely that the € 3 billion windfall to the exchequer comes from US Multinationals releasing funds through the Irish tax system from their billions stashed off shore. With global business still in the dumps it is likely that the Multi Giants are strapped for cash ...it's gotta be bad out in the real world when Ireland is the fastest growing economy in Europe - and maybe futher afield.

Releasing their stashed money through the Irish tax system saves them billions in tax. To repatriate that money in the US would result in a hit of 35% corporate tax compared to the 12.5% incurred in Ireland. That's a saving of almost € 5.5 billion...

makes sense to me....

It also makes sense that US multinationals with European HeadQuarters in Ireland would try to sweeten the State as a supporter and willing lobbyist for TTIP...

A €3 billion windfall (in just one year with a possibility of more to come) would be like the US Corporate Golden Goose laying a Golden Egg for whoever wins the next general election...

interesting times

I$I$ - All Hail The Barrel

Imagine you're a member of ISIS...

You are a radical fundamentalist who fanatically believes that the teachings of Mohammed state that JIHAD, the religious duty to spread the muslim faith, even by merciless war on the Infidel, is the ultimate worship of Allah and the highest form of Islam ...

Don't you find it strange that in the decade and a half since 9/11 you or your mates haven't once targeted the Vatican.??

Why is that...???

Because being created by the US and Israel, an ISIS attack on the Vatican would be totally anathema to the Christian US administration and to Israel which isn't about to jeopardise US support in the Middle East

That would be because Al-Qaeda, ISIS and other groups have NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION
now ... back to work pumping that I$I$ oil..!!
