Scott Meredith is one half of the excellent Conscious Media Network team and someone I have known since the 1980′s. Because he now lives in another part of the world and sometimes gets sad and lonely there living in his beautiful house, with his beautiful wife and his beautiful car, and asking himself tiresome questions like “How did I get here?”, he will often call me up and ask me to talk excitedly for hours on end about anything at all.

A few days ago he did just that and the podcast below is the result.

Frankly its too long and I speak too fast, but it’s a start. And yes, I do know that brevity is the soul of wit. Future episodes, as and when they arise, will be shorter.

P.S. If anyone does manages to listen to the whole thing then leave a comment and we’ll place you in our prize draw, 1st prize $700 billion dollars. Honest.

Apparently there’s a bit of a stink on Wall Street these days. Someone’s misplaced $700 billion (and the rest) and is in need of borrowing a bit to tide them over ’til next week. Any takers?

The Senate is pretty keen. So too, according to the paid for puppet advocates in the media, will be the House of Representatives. Just so long as the US taxpayer meets the bill thereby maintaining the culture of “Private Profits, Public Debt” so much favoured by the thieves union that is big business, the Govt and last but not least, the privately owned Fed and its attendant stockholders.

If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95.

With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50

£1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5.

But if you bought £1000 worth of Stella Artois Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminum re-cycling plant, you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.

As Homer Simpson once remarked “The internet? Is that still around?”

Is the death of the free internet imminent? Kevin Parkinson suggests so in his article (following). As he makes clear, Canada is a good start point for this sort of nonsense as it has been a major testing lab for our would-be masters as they seek to restructure their world system along feudalistic lines.

Some of the large blog providers such as blogger, wordpress and typepad may take umbrage at this move. More than 1% of all websites (including this one) now run on wordpress, a not inconsiderable number of reasonably smart people who know how the net works and what is at stake. So, a few million bloggers pounding at the doors of the Canadian ISP’s in question may bring them up short. In fact, this could become one of those cause celebres that helps spur freedom lovers to unite and immolate a common enemy. A better title for the piece could therefore be “Death of Canadian ISP’s Imminent”. Now there’s a thought.

As Mr Parkinson points out, the inevitable appeals to “security” and “protection” will yet again be wheeled out as part of the psychological war of attrition to be waged on a pliable public mind. Yet another outing for the old Problem-Reaction-Solution mechanism. It’s because ever more people are becoming clued in to this scam that the charging model is being instigated, a control pipe with which to limit free speech and thereby continue the process of pacifying the individual.

Net neutrality is another aspect to this control culture. The CEO of Virgin Broadband in the UK, Neil Berkett, dismissed net neutrality with a very rude word which we wouldn’t print here. But you can read it here.

Mr Berkett admits that Virgin are already in negotiation with certain suppliers who will effectively pay Virgin to be on the fast lane, whilst “other” sites will be relegated to the internet bus lane. The beginnings of a two (or more) tier system and the seizing of the net by visionless corporations and the visionless people who pretend to lead them. Of course that’s not strictly true. They do have a vision, it just happens to be one that excludes the community spirit (unless it is the bogus community spirit of so-called social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook etc) that built the net in the first place and that is its greatest treasure.

Hello. Do you watch television? Every day? And by so doing, have you become a thick, desensitised and easily fooled ga ga brain?

Maybe you are ashamed of your stupidity. Worse, maybe you have watched so much television you are no longer capable of feeling shame, your emotional circuits degraded to the point where spontaneous feeling no longer arises within you. Instead you endure a never ending stream of bogus thoughts and feelings, each one carefully placed within you and reinforced continually by the miasma that is broadcast television. Worryingly, you are not alone.

Of the addictions, television is amongst the most subtle and devious. Alcoholics live in denial. TV addicts are worse for they do not acknowledge that a condition called TV addiction is even possible. “How could it be?” they mutter “for is not TV smashing and super and fun and marvelous and can I not turn it off whenever I see fit?”. If only it were so.

For most people in the west TV is the only form of information they partake of and consequently they can no longer think. And, as any fule no, thinking is the hardest work known to man. Or was. The great mass of people are in such a compliant non-thinking mode they no longer know that a condition called “thinking” is even possible. TV does all their thinking for them and my, what a deep thinker it is.

But consider how good TV could be. Consider how magnificent would be our lives were we to be offered a TV diet designed to enhance and improve us, as opposed to our current fare which degrades, destroys and demeans the values we hold dear. Patience in abundance may be needed though before those days arrive.

So what cure? Abstinence would be for the best. That is total abstinence. No TV at all. If the mere thought of that sends a shudder, no matter how slight, through your addled system, then you’ve just met your nemesis. No doubt going cold turkey like that would be too much to bear for most err viewers. Together however we can conquer mountains and possibly TV too. So a thought to leave you with.

Once a month, say the first Tuesday, we designate as worldwide NO TV day. From there it would be a short stepping stone to once every other week, once a week and so on. People could talk to one another, sing songs round the piano, love one another. And no doubt some TV executive somewhere, with his or her eye on the main chance, could make a TV documentary about it and show it on NO TV day too.

One of the classic sketches from Monty Python was the sweetly sick parody of “Blue Peter”, a much beloved childrens television programme, institution even, in the late 1960′s and 70′s. Eric Idle played a bewigged version of Valerie Singleton. Ahh the memories.

At close we are asked to tune in for next weeks programme where, amongst many delightful goodies, we were informed we would learn “How to reconcile the Russians and the Chinese”.

In light of this powerful essay from 1881, a more appropriate item would have been “How to reconcile the Russians and the Jews”. Although no mention is made in what follows, it is worth reminding ourselves that the Sabbatean Frankist sect of Judaism, that is, a sect which works to undermine the fabric of Torah Judaism in much the same way that Jesuits undermine the Roman Catholic church and the Wahabbists undermine Islam, is likely a prime mover in this state of affairs over the last 300 to 400 years. The Rothschilds, (who took over all financial operations of the Catholic Church worldwide in 1823 – see Eustace Mullins), are of the Sabbatean Frankist sect and lend truth to the observation that, in the inner most dark recesses, occult sects within Judaism and the Vatican are joined at the hip.

Russian Jews and Gentiles

FROM A RUSSIAN POINT OF VIEW

By Mme Z Ragozin

Published in The Century Magazine, Vol XXIII, November 1881, page 905.

Anti-Semitic feeling still runs high: to this the late most unjustifiable demonstrations against Sarah Bernhardt in Galicia and Odessa bear witness. That is especially strong in the eastern part of Europe, where the Israelites are most numerous and most firmly sealed, is another indubitable fact. It also may be safely asserted that never, even in the quietest times, is this feeling wholly extinct. Were it otherwise, the popular outbreaks could not be so violent, so frequent, nor—to use a homely but expressive word—so “catching,” nor so uniform in character, as they have been within not very many years in Romania, Galicia, eastern Prussia and, very lately in the south of Russia. When the effects are identical, the causes must be at least similar, and where the former recur with persistent iteration, the latter may be supposed to be permanent and deeply rooted.

Bankruptcy is one of the world’s fastest growing hobbies. All across Europe, the UK and America, more and more people are getting involved in this absorbing pastime. If you’ve looked into going bankrupt there are a few things you’ll need. Some unrepayable debts generally come in handy as do a host of creditors beating on your door. Not literally of course as you probably shouldn’t have a door worth beating on if you are really serious about taking up this invigorating pursuit.

However, nothing adds more fun and pleasure than turning the tables on the courts and the banking system as a whole. This approach is such a great wheeze that people who have no need to go bankrupt are now seriously considering doing so, just to have their day in court and kick the financial system swift and hard.

What could be more satisfying than gaining a full remission of your debts, exposing fraud and showing the banks up for the low life tricksters that they are? Little else it would seem.

Now, before you splutter “Will you get to the point you prevaricating prattler”, let me get to the point. Which is this -

IF you are ever faced with a foreclosure or a bankruptcy proceeding in court – demand that the Lender, while under-oath on the witness stand, answer this one question:

“Should the one who funded the loan be the one who is repaid the money?”

If their answer is YES, or NO, the bank must zero out the (false) debt on their fraudulantly created – non-existent loan. That’s right – there was NOT a (lawful) LOAN made to you. Bemused? Good.

ALL Bankers, Politicians and Judges know this truth – and they fear the wrath of the public should their dirty-secret ever become known by a critical mass of the people. The dirty secret being that for decades, they have been defrauding borrowers, that is you if you are in the position of facing bankruptcy.

Bankers will not answer that one question in any courtroom in the world – because they know that -

The BORROWER is the one who actually funded the loan.

They also know that the evidence of this FACT can easily be found within the bank’s own loan bookkeeping entries.

What is being said here? Let us re-phrase. YOU the borrower, are the one who FUNDED the loan you received from the bank. You may now be asking yourself the most obvious question, “How did I do that?”. How indeed.

Your request for a loan empowers the “lender” to create the money out of thin air as an interest bearing debt. They, the “lender” did not “fund” the loan, you did. You funded it by agreeing to and signing a loan contract. But that contract fails to mention that you are the one who is funding the loan and is therefore unenforceable due to the deceptive nature of the contract.

So, if the lender says “No”, then your response is “Thank you, there is nothing to repay, I’ll be on my way”. If the lender responds “Yes”, then your response is “Thank you, I am the one who funded the loan and therefore no further payment is due to you, I’ll be on my way”.

To follow this line further, I suggest you pay a visit to the website of Thomas Schauf who has dug into this area to a considerable degree. You can locate his work HERE:

We Have More Power And Freedom Than We Are Led To Believe

In the realms of money, law and the laws of money we have been relentlessly hypnotised into a placid state of non-enquiry. The money issuing power resides in each one of us. The banks, using cunning and deception, exploit that situation to the full thereby ensuring our ongoing enslavement to their system.

This is by no means that final word on this area. More to follow.
