This Does My Head in

Recommended Posts

Feel free to post anything you can find in a similar vein.

 

It needn't be political - just outlandish.

 

A man avoided execution ... the government avoided

paying him $14 million compensation for his 14 years

on death row ...

 

A law firm (small 'L') avoided litigation for with-holding

the evidence they knew exonerated him ... to which

they freely admit!

 

And now it will all be forgotten ...

 

Next time it might be you ... or me.

This time it was John Thompson.

The failure to see the long-term effects of this activity does my head in.

 

When the number of injuries reach a critical mass, then there might be enough pressure from the people themselves to stop this insanity!

 

Clearly some of "ces stupides" will never father children ... the animal wins a small battle ...

Suitable for Australian audiences ... but wherever you are ... if you have a J-O-B you will appreciate the insanity.

 

Other suckers in over-taxed western nations may also relate to content!

 

Warning - contains horrible thoughts!

 

NB: If you depend on welfare for survival - we are talking about you!

Do not watch if you do not wish to offended!

On their own ... no.

 

There are many movements starting up spontaneously all over the planet.

People wanting to make a difference - anything ... and it is dawning on

many people that the government is the problem ... not you, not me,

not my multicultural neighbours, not the Mums and Dads in Afghanistan,

Palestine, Israel, the USA or new Zealand, Russia, France or Baghdad

or Somalia or Syria - no ... none of them

 

The problem is with GOVERNMENT alone

 

But people ARE rising up. People are DOING something, taking ACTION

in their own ways, forming groups, attending rallies, writing letters to

newspapers ... and becoming involved.

 

These are the people who remember a better life. These are people who

want to work, who have worked and who want their children to know the

fulfillment of work. The greedy corporations have pushed consumerism

like a religion on a population who didn't understand its evil, and who

largely still do not.

 

Since the 1950's whenHire Purchase began enslavement-through-consumerism,

it was the end of the single income family. Now mum also had to have

a job to pay for the consumerables, but she also had to have a car ... to

get her to her work. The cycle had begun, and the corporations bosses

loved it.

 

Today we call them CEO's euphemistically.

 

I have a name for them epithetically but this is a family show ... :)

 

Today we have easy credit still in my country - take-it-away with nothing

to pay, and no interest for 48 months. Thus they hook you on someone

else's credit facility. Young people are in hopeless debt before they are

19 years of age. They are asleep.

 

But some are awake. Some have stopped consuming and are opting for

self-sufficiency.

 

On their own, they are fragmented little specific interest groups.

But it is beginning to dawn on people who our real enemy is.

 

It is now a race against time to see who wins - will the people get rid

of big government before big government asserts irrepressible control

over the people, from which they will never recover without the spilling

of blood?

 

No mate, taxpayer leagues are just a fragment of a very big snowball

that is yet to be built.

 

But ... it will be built.

(There is no short answer with me)

As a side thought Ingot, I would not get too hung up on self sustainability - with the worlds population at present we need some industrial processes. :)

 

Random thoughts.....

 

I wonder how many of those taxpayer leagues are sponsored by companies who feel they can do a better job than government - until their own agenda becomes paramount...... or are they already largely the same group. :)

 

 

Anyone find it strange that often the same people who run or work in industries that are subsidized by the governments they complain about? Much like the middle class welfare recipients. Accountants and lawyers come to mind here....my pet hate :)

 

Maybe we should look for more efficient government (which will likely be smaller), and more competition between businesses, and more community rather than simple individual responsibility and control?? Too many groups are NIMBY or pushing their own agenda which has its own issues.

 

IMHO The worst thing is when people simply pass the buck, govt, or corporation.

 

.....or maybe it is a simple aspect of human nature and the idea of a middle class and a redistribution of wealth was just a passing fad for a few centuries.....

We can not just toss the system aside and leave a vacuum.

 

There has to be some sort of coordinated management.

 

I don't think we know how to run a technology-based society yet - we are still discovering the stuff!

 

But we have never before had to manage such a populous society, and to just plaster the governemnt with the blame is a little one-eyed, I know.

 

However, there those in positions of responsibility whose sociopathic views on life are destroying a Utopian opportunity for many. Technology could indeed bring a wonderful lifestyle - and it is.

 

But we are also enslaving ourselves to obtain it.

 

There is a cost, and until we say "no, I am unwilling to pay that cost" it will roll on.

 

I think that's what these splinter groups can see, but do not have any structure yet to be able to do anything tangible about the reckless and wasteful excesses of big government.

 

Maybe the government really does have the solution to everything?

 

What if they do not?

 

I think all we ask of government is to NOT threaten our security ... but they keep coming up with hare-brained schemes that do exactly that.

We get what we ask for, but no one is willing to admit it. Here, for example, we whine about government, but we want everything that government provides. Which would be fine except that we don't want to pay for it. And haven't been for forty or fifty years. Which brings us to where we are.

 

I see nothing wrong with taxes. Happy to pay 'em. But I also believe in fairness.

You know what wobbles my mind, Ingot?

… that you are discussing it more in terms of what gov’t could or should do instead of in terms of who really ‘owns’ and exploits gov’ts and peeps

… that you are not discussing gov’t in terms of the video link you closed your contributions to another thread with… that wobbles my head, Ingot :)

Don't be upset on my account, ZDO - I stopped listening to you when I realised you are a greater cynic that I.

 

I have been aware of the Illuminati and their antics since 1978 when I read Stan Deyo's "The Cosmic Conspiracy."

 

You can not fight them, so why bang tin cans about it.

 

Instead, you can foil their work. You wouldn't want to use the best tools if I told you what they are for the job, so I have to point to ineffective ways to keep you busy while others use the effective ones.

 

I won't tell you here, because of your cynicism - nothing will do for you - too many opinions ... no solutions.

 

So ... live with your head wobbling at what I do ... and suck it up!

 

Incidentally, the peoples of Egypt and Lebanon are not entirely pawns, of some supposed Arab Spring uprising orchestrated supposedly by the money elite through the supposed intervention by covert forces infiltrating, agitating ... yada yada.

 

I see it as the people rising up because they have to ... had to.

 

Now, in both places, they are rejecting the governments that rushed in to fill the void left by the departures of Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi. Not happy with the manipulation? ... boot the new bunch out too.

 

Now maybe that changes the ball game ... maybe that sends a message to some faceless group ... I do not care. I do not see what you see - thankfully.

 

I see a result of another kind.

 

When I hear you speaking with love, and tapping a small glass, instead of bashing a big, empty drum, then I might bother with your words. Otherwise, all I hear is clashing cymbals ... rings in the ears for awhile, and then fades away as an annoyance.

 

Nothing achieved ... no residual good.

 

My way is softer, enduring and effective. I don't have to prove it to anyone - it just is, was and will be the way.

 

All violence ends with peace eventually, so feel free to advocate anything, except the way that works in the long term. I do not care how your head wobbles - one day you might open your eyes.

Apologies ZDO - put it down to cold internet interpretation.

 

But you'd admit you were less than generous with my posts on the thread I abandoned.

 

Yes ...mean ... condescending ... ultra-cynical ... exceeding even that of myself perhaps?

 

;)

 

Yeah ... that did my head in ... easy wasn't it!

But we must also understand that exchange is only possible to the extent that people trust each other... Distrust is a brake on prosperity, because distrust is a brake on exchange.

...

... see the mechanism by which debasing money debases trust. The unaware victims of this accidental redistribution don’t know who the enemy is, so they create an enemy.

Keynes was well aware of this insidious dynamic and articulated it beautifully in a 1919 essay:

By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. … Those to whom the system brings windfalls…[those closest to the new money - brackets mine] become “profiteers” who are the object of the hatred…. the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery.

 

Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.

 

...

 

...It is no secret that our quest is to find scarcity.

 

But the scarce substance we prize above all else is trustworthiness

Nice article ZDO.

 

I am going to trust again.

 

I am going back to "before" when I believe your posting was all about awakening the brain, with the motive

of elevating society through an increasingly thoughtful (and therefore better decision-making) society.

 

I think I am a bit better than the quality of my past few posts, and I think I misunderstood your intent.

 

In order to thrive and reap the richest rewards, one has to trust, be vulnerable, and rely on the reciprocal

benefit of passing it forward.

If you think you have courage ... spare a thought for the brave soul who filmed this.

 

At the 6 minute mark I thought it was all about done!

 

But at 9 minutes, the water is still rising ... and we are unsure how much further this went.

 

Get your head around this if you can.

There has got to be a limit to all of this misbehaviour.

 

Read the article - they are not using human embryo kidney cells derived from aborted foetuses in their Pepsi soft drinks.

 

No.

 

They are using the embryonic kidney tissue to test the way human taste cells might respond to the flavours Pepsi use in their soft drinks.

 

This is the thin edge of the wedge ... and frankly while other ways exist to achieve their tests ...there is NO need to be using human aborted foetuses for commercial testing.

 

Obama is wrong on this ... in my view.

 

Obama agency rules Pepsi's use of aborted fetal cells in soft drinks constitutes 'ordinary business operations'

 

This is where is begins ... where does it end?

Can you imagine the $$$ destroyed in these years ... not to mention the human cost ... wildlife and ocean creatures nuked or poisoned with radiation, the amount of radiation that is now free to enter the food chains of every living thing on the planet, and the number of people who either killed themselves over the stress of it all, or who have PTSD or who need anti-depressant medications?

 

Up until 1998 ... 2,053 nuclear explosions cut loose!

 

This is worth putting the headphones on and watching for the 14+ minutes. Each country detonating a nuke has a different musical tone, and a tally is kept on the top and bottom toolbars.

 

Take note of the cacophony in the years 1961 to 1971 years - about 4m 30 secs to 6m 30 seconds on the video.

 

Kind of does my head in!

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
