        <![CDATA[Odd that I was given to handing over 45 minutes of my life to a TV programme this evening but my eldest son wanted to watch the 'Killer squids' on Channel 5 this evening whilst at his nanna's house.<div>As it gets dark earlier in very late August gardening, which was our reason for being there came to an end just after the programme started. Without realising it until it was too late I ended up watching the thing and I am glad I did... but not because the programme was brilliant.</div>]]>
        <![CDATA[Humboldt squid are up to five feet long, produce millions of eggs per female, grow fast as fuck and eat everything they can. A classic population explosion species that seems to explode quickly and then likley like all the others implode just as dramatically.<div><br /></div><div>The programme makers seemed to have started making the programme when everyone was told to believe that man made global warming was real as they kept referring to warmer seas and seas being warmed which then contain less oxygen but thankfully all reference to it being man's fault was missing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now I am no scientist so I really have no idea how true the warm water/low oxygen correlation really is but I am aware it is very unusual to see a warm water species survive in colder water for very long. Also I have no idea what the 'natural range' of this or any other squid is and after watching the programme it is clear neither do the scientists studying them.</div><div><br /></div><div>So possibly the water is warming sufficiently to allow this warm water squid to&nbsp;colonize larger areas of ocean.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>However my son, who is seventeen, came up with all sorts of errors and problems with the 'facts' put forwards by this programme and it was pleasing to hear them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Where were the squid predators?</div><div>Everything eats everything else right?&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>Unless a creature attains great size all creatures are prey for others and the&nbsp;Humboldt&nbsp;squid is a big squid but it is not a giant.</div><div>There was great store put into the huge numbers of eggs a female produces but no mention whatsoever of the things that find squid eggs to be a lovely little meal.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then there was the 'blame' laid at the door of man the fisherman which intimated that there are big creatures that dine on squid but man has fished them out. Again no mention of what those big fish or other creatures were just man is at fault again.</div><div><br /></div><div>He said the programme was totally one sided and was obviously designed to scare everyone watching into believing there was a massive problem caused by the way these quid live and the warming ocean.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Personally I got the distinct impression that this population and territory explosion was an entirely natural&nbsp;phenomenon&nbsp;just one that man has never witnessed or at least documented before.</div><div><br /></div><div>It proves that every television programme has a hidden agenda.</div><div>Here's some of them long past killing other things. No mention of why they died or why they were washed up on this beach so much like the programme many more questions than answers.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://banzibanzo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/jumbo_squid1.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div>]]>

        <![CDATA[Dear Friend,<br /><br />I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy especially by contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but due to its seriousness and urgency it therefore became necessary for me to seek your assistance.<br /><br />I am Barrister Michael Ray, a solicitor at law.

        <![CDATA[Had a 'dawning moment' this morning when I finally got my head around the scam that is known as credit. I have always assumed that a credit had an equivalent value to a pound. Therefore if I received a credit card which had a £10,000 credit limit I was able to use the card to spend the £10,000 on anything I desired. I thought that the bank had loaded the credit account with £10,000 of the banks own money which was sat waiting for me to use whenever I needed it.<br /><br />Turns out this is not the case at all. ]]>
        <![CDATA[To understand this you have to answer the question 'What is a credit?'<br /><br />The only answer I have found that comes anywhere near an explanation is that it is an idea or a concept. <br />It never actually exists anywhere in any sort of tangible form. A bank can hand over a bucket full of coins, paper money or gold but it cannot hand over a bucket full of credits. <br /><br />In short a credit does not actually exist. It is simply an idea.<br /><br />Right then so credits aren't real then why do the banks issue credit cards?<br />Well here comes the Great Credit Scam.<br /><br />The bank issues you with a plastic card which is the face of an agreement whereby the bank will create a 'credit account' (remember credits are not real and neither is this credit account). You are free to do nothing with that credit account or you can use it to buy things 'on credit'. If you try and turn the credit into cash the bank will charge you for the transaction which proves that they don't actually lend you any cash when you buy something using a credit card.<br /><br />Cash or money has absolutely nothing to do with a credit transaction. And yet we are led to believe it does.<br />We are taught in school and have it hammered home every day by the banks through advertisements that credit is exactly the same as cash just in a different form.<br />This is simply not true.<br /><br />You use your 10,000 credit limit card to buy a car worth £10,000. The seller accepts your card payment and 10,000 credits get transferred from your cards credit account into the sellers bank account. The seller's account is up 10,000 credits (even though to them it appears as £10,000) and your card account is down 10,000 credits. NOT a penny in cash has been exchanged between you and the seller.<br /><i>I used to believe that the bank actually shifted £10,000 of the banks own money into the sellers bank account and this is NOT what happens.</i><br /><br />If you used £10,000 £1 coins to buy the car then you are down £10,000 and the seller is up £10,000. Not a single credit has been exchanged between you and the seller. The seller deposits the cash and his account is CREDITED with 10,000 credits!<br /><br />Can you get the enormity of that?<br />It's taken me a fair while to come to believe that this is really the truth but it is. A credit has no value. They never have and they never will because they are not real.<br /><br />So you now believe that you OWE the bank that set up your credit account £10,000 because that was the value of the car you just bought with your credits. This is what the bank wants you to believe but it is a lie.<br />The bank issuing the credit account hasn't lent you a penny. All it has done is extend your credit. It has run a calculation to assess the risk of you not figuring out the scam for what it is and the chances of you actually handing the bank £10,000 of your cash which it can then multiply by a factor of 9 thanks to fractional reserve lending thus giving the bank 90,000 more fictional credits it can lend out through new credit accounts to scam even more unsuspecting people into handing over their money in exchange for an idea called credit thus making the banks juicy cash profits!<br /><br />Here is an official Bank of England explanation of how credit is created contained within their Bank of England Quarterly Bulletin 2008 Q1 on page 105<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="boep105.gif" src="http://www.dwfisher.com/watching/pics/boep105.gif" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0pt auto 20px;" height="125" width="593" /></span><br />They are so confident you and I will not believe the real truth they can cheerfully show anyone who cares to read exactly what they are up to!<br /><br />The scam is exposed for all to see. When will you see it for what it is and do something about it?<div><br /></div>]]>

        Lawful Rebellion is a profile that is being raised across the 
blogosphere. True not every blog author calls it by this name but it 
isn&apos;t too hard to realise that it is exactly what they are espousing. 
        <![CDATA[I've looked in to Lawful Rebellion, becoming a Freeman or becoming a Sovereign and it is all very intriguing. They also make a lot of sense but it all seems to be too much hassle until that is a step is taken back and I realise how much hassle is involved in being 'a good citizen' and before anyone says it yes I do know what the legalese definition of 'citizen' is.<br /><br />As an individual human being who happens to live upon the land mass known as the British Isles in the country of England which is part of the greater country called the United Kingdom which in turn is part of the great european federal state called the European Union I am subjected to all manner of legalities, taxes, deprivations, rules, regulations, edicts, statutes etc etc. <br />I have not been asked to join any of these man made entities and have never been asked to join what every one of these entities calls 'society' and yes I do know what they are on about when they refer to 'society'. Blacks Law dictionary is a must read if you are in the least bit interested in the power of words let alone escaping the oppression.<br /><br />Despite not being asked all of these entities assume I comply with their way's of running things by a process called tacit consent. This process basically assumes that if I don't say otherwise I am assumed to be in agreement with whatever shit the entity piles on top of me. Each of these entities has a process to allow me to 'opt-out' by registering my disagreement but they are hidden so deep in the legalese crap they wrap themselves in and are never made public so few people find them. <br /><br />Some register themselves as totally outside of the system by becoming Freemen who are essentially as sovereign as Queen Elizabeth is. Trouble is most of the people who are in the employ of any of the entities have no idea of this concept and so being Freemen means you have to try and educate the drones which is fraught with difficulty and hassles that can take on a life of their own and inevitably leads to confrontation with these drones as they genuinely do not have a clue how to deal with sovereigns.<br /><br />It's not for me. I am beyond educating people who really don't want to learn. <br /><br />But I have no desire to comply with everything these entities want me to just because they have decided that I must live my life the way they dictate due to my geographical location. I was born on these islands and I had no say over where my mother was living at the moment of my birth. As none of these entities have ever asked if I want to be part of their party I am not part of their party. Tacit consent only exists in the legal world and that is not my world. It is not even the world of politicians unless those politicians happen to be lawyers which explains why so many lawyers become politicians!<br />Legalese and all its oppressive manipulations of the English language are only applicable to those people who have consented to be part of the Law society in other words they have asked to join and been accepted into that society. They are of course free to leave at any time but whilst they are part of that society they are bound by the rules and regulations of that society including Legalese.<br /><br />I am not a paid up member of this Law society and never will be so I cannot be bound by its rules regulations and language.<br />I am not a paid up member of any society so am not bound by any rules, regulations or language.<br />However I am totally 100% responsible for myself and I live my life based upon my common sense and understanding of what I consider to be right and wrong. I cannot see any other way to live a happy and contented life.<br /><br />I am not into anything that has a name such as Freemanism or Lawful Rebellion. To my mind I have nothing to rebel against because I have never consented in the first place to be part of the entities that Lawful Rebellion practitioners rebel against!<br />To me giving a movement a name is just part of the same process. Parliamentary democracy Lawful Rebellion are exactly the same in my book. Both different sides of the same coin.<br /><br />What I am doing is simply practising the art of saying NO to anything that will have a negative impact on my life. I really do believe that saying NO is all it takes to ensure that whatever the entity tries to do within the rules of it has created is the way to go. Nothing absolutely nothing can happen in any of these entities without the individuals consenting. <br />True these entities have the guns and are not afraid to use them but then again there are 'criminals' with guns who are not afraid to use them so where is the fear?<br />You always have to be wary of anyone with a gun in hand if you don't have one in your hands.<br />But the entities who don't regard themselves as criminals cannot go around shooting people who withdraw consent because their rules do not allow it so the gun is not something to fear.<br />At the end of the day the worst a gun can do is kill you and despite what the sky fairy believers say no-one has ever proved that there is anything 'extra' for us humans once we exit this life. Accept that you are already dead and you really do have nothing to fear from a gun.<br /><br />By being dead already you gain a confidence to say NO more and more often. There are many ways to say NO and withdraw consent. I would really dearly love to stop paying any form of tax, even Freemen and Lawful Rebels have to pay taxes if they continue to live on the British Isles, but there is a shit load of information to sift through to discover the entities methods of not paying tax. <br />The methods do exist, The Americans already have access to their methods thanks to a genuine Freedom of Information Act, unlike the United kingdoms pale shadow of a Freedom of Information Act, and more and more of them are implementing what they have learned. <br />As the 'American way' is based upon the 'British way' the method should be very similar but over here everything is much more hidden and obscure. <br />So until such time as I feel it worth the time cost to dig out this information I will have to carry on paying taxes in one form or another. <br /><br />However there is another way. <br />I am investigating the ways and means an IT guy in America has been living for two years or so without money. Yes that's true he lives the life he wants to live without using money in any way shape or form. Once money has been removed from the equation there is nothing to tax and with no tax all forms of government and society cease to exist. He has no 'income' so there is no way the American entities can tax him!<br />I am starting out by shifting as much as possible into cash. Going straight into a cashless existence would be too hard for me personally as I am not alone. I have a family and they are not ready to give up on cash just yet and I am not going to force anyone to give something up they don't want to. <br />By moving as much as possible into a cash only existence I am preparing for the jump to a cashless way of life. At this moment I have no idea whether I will achieve it but it is certainly a doable aim.<br /><br />Even going to a cash based way of life it minimises the amount of tax I pay which is why there is so much talk in the compliant mainstream media about becoming a cashless society. Bartering has a lot going for it which is also why the compliant mainstream media rubbishes bartering as a way to live. It's a case of each individual to decide what is right for them but everyone should ignore the media and never ever read a newspaper again, never ever watch or listen to a news broadcast. These mediums are used exclusively to reinforce the beliefs that we are all part of any number of societies we have never actually joined.<br /><br />For now saying NO at every opportunity, simply withdrawing consent from all manner of things which assumes it is a given, not voting, not consuming any media and moving over to cash has been painless&nbsp; for me. Mind I also have been working on becoming totally anonymous. The land line has gone, the broadband will go once I can either afford satellite broadband or dongle broadband becomes affordable. I can always piggy back on unsecured networks but that is unethical to me so I won't do it.<br />Dropping out of 'society' totally is hard at the moment. Becoming anonymous is really quite easy once you realise that society really doesn't exist. Simply doing the unexpected and operate within the entities rules so that you don't attract unwanted attention is not hard to do and is really quite enjoyable especially when you come up with drone like jobsworth 'officials'.<br /><br />I will continue with these endeavours and keep a watching brief on Freemanism and Lawful Rebellion but at the end of the day I am already dead so what fears do the man made horrors called societies hold for me or indeed hold for you?<br /><br />Just remember all things in life are NOT what they first appear to be. Never take anything not even your next breath for granted!<br /><br />]]>

        <![CDATA[I've come to the conclusion that no matter what monetary system is in place anywhere in the world money itself is an utterly useless artificial, as in man made, construct. <br />It doesn't matter what backs the system, metals, carbon, blind belief, promises or just a fear of the unknown money is an utterly useless artificial, as in man made construct.<br /> ]]>
        <![CDATA[No money has any value whatsoever. An incredible amount of printed money
 actually has written on it that the piece of printed paper is nothing 
more than a promise to pay. Other printed pieces of paper call 
themselves debt notes and yet people believe that these pieces of paper 
have real value in the world.<br />
<br />
The overwhelming majority of people that have ever lived have wasted 
their lives in the pursuit of this utterly worthless belief. It doesn't 
matter what sky fairy they follow, what political party they follow, the
 money belief crosses all boundaries. People are killed every second of 
every day for a worthless belief. People spend their entire lives 
amassing what they consider to be huge amounts of wealth and then spend 
their twilight years giving it all away or dying and leaving descendants
 to squabble over bits of paper.<br />
<br />
What is the fucking point?<br />
<br />
No matter how much money you do or don't amass or how much money you 
'spend' throughout your life you will end up as worm food. From the 
second you burst forth into this world your end is known. Worm food is 
what we all become. It's what every living thing becomes even the worms.
 <br />
<br />
Aah but the argument states that we need money to live. Without money we
 cannot have xyz products. Without money there would be anarchy as there
 would be no way to preserve law and order. As George Carlin said on 
many occasions "It's all bullshit folks!"<br />
and he was absolutely right.<br />
<br />
If we are told something often enough we begin to believe it is true. 
Look at every single religion that has ever existed and especially the 
newest 'Climate Change is Man's Fault'. In each religion there is 
absolutely zero proof that following the specific religions mantra will 
get you a better position in any afterlife. Hell none of them can 
actually prove there is an afterlife and yet billions believe the 
bullshit.<br />
<br />
Once you switch off from being told what to have believe and realise 
that just like me you are actually extremely wealthy in the truest sense
 of the word everything and I mean literally EVERYTHING that you 
currently take for granted is man made bullshit.<br />
Once you accept that pursuing money is like searching for a pot of gold 
at the end of rainbow you will begin to unravel the web of man made lies
 and deceptions that have been wrapped around you since birth to make 
sure you keep pursing a useless belief throughout your life.<br />
Once you have a 'corner up' there is no way to stop this unravelling. It
 just goes on and on and with each blink you will be amazed at what is 
revealed to you. <br />
<br />
I said above we are all extremely wealthy in the truest sense of the 
word because we are all time rich. We are alive and able to live a life 
of our choosing by spending our time living our life the way we want to.
 We are free to totally ignore the man made world of money and it is 
incredibly easy to achieve this state. It is also incredibly easy to 
drop totally 'out of society' and live life the way you and those 
closest to you want to.<br />
<br />
You do not have to 'earn money' to achieve this end. Money isn't real it
 is a belief nothing more. Stop believing in it and your world doesn't 
end. It is very easy to work every day of the week if you so desire and 
get 'paid' in anything but money. If you did this you wouldn't have to 
pay income tax because you haven't earned any money and you would be 
unable to 'buy' anything because you haven't earned any money but you 
will have managed to live your life in a more satisfying way, enriched 
the lives of others, helped others live their lives in a more satisfying
 way which are all very good things in my humble opinion.<br />
<br />
My advice to anyone who has read this far is simple. <br />
Stop listening, reading watching the alleged NEWS. It's all bullshit.<br />
Stop watching the box in the corner or more likely these days the 
talking picture on the wall. It's all bullshit.<br />
Force yourself to switch off that mobile phone or even better take a 
hammer to it. It's all bullshit.<br />
If you can do these three things then miraculously you have time to pick
 on one thing you take for granted that bugs you or doesn't seem to be 
right, or just feels wrong and examine it in detail to find out why.<br />
<br />
Once you have knocked one belief over in this fashion you won't be able 
to stop yourself and you will rapidly unravel every deception that has 
been woven around you by other people and start to live life the way it is supposed to be lived... totally free of money.<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[The problem with this country is it is full of moronic idiots who are
incapable of thinking for themselves. This fact was brought home to me
on a sojourn to my local Co-op (was a supermarket but is now just a
giant convenience store). <br />
<br />
<br />
I had nearly stopped shopping at the Co-op once it was made clear that
the local labour stooge was standing on a Labour and Co-operative Party
ticket. I knew such a thing as the Co-op party existed but to my
chagrin I didn't realise my bread and milk purchases went to fund
buffoons who fancied a place at the Trough of Westminster. Still I was
saved as I actually ended up costing the silly shop workers union USDAW
and its sponsorship of Labour buffoons because one of the staff said
she hated Labour and what it had done to her country. That's what she
called it 'her country'. I wish the some of the 21,000 socialist
sympathisers around here could have heard her.<br />
Anyway's she said she was working when Woodcock and his socialist crew
turned up for a photo shoot outside the shop and it sickened her that
her union dues were helping fund his campaign. So I told her about the
political opt out form that somehow USDAW had neglected to mention was
available. To say she was gobsmacked was putting it mildly. Anyway she
was going to pass the message around the store staff as many of them
didn't want to support their unions support of people like Mr Woodcock.<br />
<br />
Result.<br />
<br />
So I can continue to use the local Co-op for life's essentials and was
in there this morning when an 18 year old lad on the other side of the
till espied a dapper old gent complete with Trilby rolling up to the
till.<br /><br />
"Did you vote on Thursday" shouted the lad.<br />
"Always do" replied the old fellow.<br />
"Who did you vote for. Was it Labour?" enquired the young'un.<br />
"Yes of course I did. I know which side my bed is buttered on!" came the incredible reply.<br />
<br />
This is what anyone wanting to bring personal liberty to the masses is
up against. The masses aren't interested in personal liberty. <br />

Is over. ]]>
        <![CDATA[And what a farce it was.<br />
Polling stations that incredibly 'ran out' of voting slips.<br />
Polling stations that didn't know what to do at 10-00 pm.<br />
Postal votes not singled out for counting separately.<br />
Allegations of multiple postal votes going to addresses where only one person lives.<br />
Brown clinging to power instead of doing the decent thing and leaving.
Has Mandelson not told him about the poison pills he has left out for
the Tories?<br />
Clegg the early days power broker.<br />
Cameron trying to court a losing party or three to get a commons majority.<br />
<br />
While all this is going on.<br />
Greece is rioting.<br />
Spain, Portugal and to a lesser extent Italy and Ireland are having their credit ratings pulverised by investors.<br />
Britain's national debt is rising every single second.<br />
The electoral commission has proved again just how inept Labour quango's are.<br />
The public sector employment levels are crippling the nation.<br />
Everyone is paying at least £1.20 a litre for petrol and diesel.<br />
The EU will have no money left to bail out the UK when the shit finally hits the fan.<br />
We have the Russians taking back control of one of their tankers from
Somali pirates by using military force. Something our looney socialists
would never condone.<br />
Britain has become the laughing stock of the world.<br />
<br />
No-one in any party seems to have actually considered what they would
do if there was a hung parliament which many had highlighted as the
most likely outcome. So much for 'competent government'.<br />
Incredibly millions of people in this land voted for more of the same
shit that has crippled this country for the last 13 years. <br />
Incredibly millions more voted for a blue version of the same shit that has crippled this country for the last 13 years. <br />
Incredibly we have a country England that is overwhelmingly
Conservative actually controlled by a party that is controlled by Scots.<br />
There is no sign of an English Parliament.<br />
There is no sign of Scottish Labour pushing for devolution and why would they when they effectively run the United Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Some cretins actually voted for politicians who have admitted thieving from the public purse.<br />
Some cretins actually voted in sufficient numbers to elect a green MP
who really does want coal and nuclear power done away with and all our
energy to be sought from the wind and the fairies.<br />
<br />
Enough.<br />
All all of this proves is that I do not live in democracy and neither
do you. We live in a political autocracy ruled by a class of people who
have decided amongst themselves that they have the right to rule over
us.<br />
Locally I now have to suffer the ineptitude of a totally socialist town
council and a socialist spin doctor of an MP who was parachuted in from
London where he served at Gordon Browns side.<br />
He got his selection through in very dubious circumstances (postal
votes accepted even though there only 200 or so local Labour Party
members). <br />As spin doctor he was able to play a very partisan local
paper to perfection as it became his essentially free mouthpiece. <br />He
also played his ace very early on when he decided that the only thing
he could win on was arguing that only Labour would build Trident
submarines. <br />
He gave no opinion on anything that mattered like the size of the
national debt, the failure to give a us a referendum on Europe and most
masterfully of all he got all of the 'Labour support' off their sofas
simply by scareing the hell out of them that the evil Tories might get
in.<br />
Over 21,000 people either totally believed him or fell for the bullshit. <br />
<br />
I've had enough of all of it. <br />
The political class haven't a clue about running a government for the
benefit of the majority. They haven't any interest whatsoever in
actually doing the 'right things'. <br />Most simply do as they are told and
accept whatever 'good fortune' comes their way for keeping the scam
going.<br /> Occasionally one or two may fall foul of circumstance and be
dealt with 'accordingly' to keep the 'democracy sham' going but essentially they
are all in it for one of two things and most are in it for both. <br />Money
and power are all that drive the political class no matter what colour
their banners.<br />
<br />
I have already begun saying no to shit and it is still amazing to see how much power this simple two letter word has. <br />
I am continuing to learn and figure out what it is easy and safe to say
no to and what is a little more difficult to say no to. <br />At the moment
there are some things that appear to be impossible to say no to but
appearances are deceptive. <br />
I am also going to be looking much closer at what Scaheffer Cox has
achieved in Fairbanks because it does seem to be remarkably easy to
ignore much of what passes for government and set up your own
government.<br />
I am yet to be convinced that is something I would be bothered with
given that almost 49,000 locally voted for the Lab Con Club so
therefore they must like what the Lab Con does to them so I may just
make things better for myself and share a few bits on here for those
who may be interested.<br />
Whatever this farce of an election shows that as a nation England is screwed. <br />
As a country/company the United Kingdom is screwed.<br />
The European Union is waiting to regionalise it all and absorb it into a Federal state.<br />
The political class is even more dangerous to personal liberty than the aristocratic class ever was.<br />
If I could persuade my family I would just have us all up sticks and
move away but as it is even I like living here I just hate that I have
to live my life the way the socialist lunatics say I do.<br />

        <![CDATA[No really it is a stupid world.<br />
<br />
Continuing with my study of things I and millions of others take for
granted even though we know they are just plain wrong I was looking at
the world of licensing again and it has become clear that a licence
gives the issuer two things. The power to charge and the power to
control.<br />
These two powers underpin EVERYTHING that goes on in this stupid
world... at least everything that goes on in the stupid world we take
for granted. ]]>
        <![CDATA[It doesn't matter what the licence is for nor what the 'justification'
those issuing the licence put forwards as the reasons for the licence
to exist it all comes down to charge and control. <br />
There are a lot of licences issued in this country and a lot of similar sorts of
licences issued in other countries that are 'not recognised' in this so
many people holding a foreign licence have to re-sit if they want to
use their skills or take part in some activity if they live in this
country. I cannot believe I missed this fact first time round but this
neatly proves that a licence really isn't worth the paper its written
on to the human being whose name is upon it even if that licence has
been issued in the country that that human being is practising whatever
it is the licence 'allows' them to.<br />
<br />
The two most ubiquitous licences around in this stupid world are the driving licence and the TV licence. <br />
Driving licences are issued after you pass a driving test to the
satisfaction of human being who has been trained to inspect driving
skills and given a target of passes/fails to hit every month. Most
human beings pass theirs in their late teens and are then totally left
alone by these oh so caring governments to drive anywhere in the United
Kingdom. It is up to the holder of the licence to update the licence
database, which they have to pay for of course. Today the government
will ask those with photo driving licences to update every so many
years because our faces change.<br />
<br />
It's just a total scam.<br />
The idea behind the driving licence is that we all drive to a decent
standard and therefore it follows the roads must be safer. The reality
is more people are killed and injured on roads in the United Kingdom by
licensed drivers than unlicensed. So much for that red herring of an
argument.<br />
The driving licence is all about controlling who is allowed to drive a
motor vehicle on the road and to make them pay for the privilege.<br />
<br />
It really is just a money making scam on a massive scale.<br />
<br />
The second scam is even more stupid.<br />
Try as I might I cannot get Sky TV broadcasts. I set up a TV a Sky Box
and Aerial in any part of this country and unless I subscribe to Sky I
cannot get access to their encrypted signal (turns out there are ways
and means but). Even if I have all the right equipment properly set up
without the subscription which involves a name and a address being held
on a Sky database somewhere it's a useless endeavour.<br />
<br />
This proves conclusively that TV broadcasts can be encrypted at source
and only unencrypted by the right hardware and a paid for subscription
that unlocks that hardware. So why aren't all TV broadcasts encrypted
in this manner?<br />
Excellent question and for the answer we come back to power to charge and power to control.<br />
If all TV signals were encrypted there would be a massive change in the
way the government aka the BBC aka TV Licensing run by Capita the
Governments favourite contractor sucks money from your pocket. Imagine
being able to only pay for the channels you want to watch. You would
never have to pay for channels where the programme content is wrapped
within twenty minutes per hour of advertisements. <br />
If you like repeats then you buy Dave or similar offerings<br />
If you only want government adverts then its BBC 1 &amp; 2<br />
If you like kiddies programmes then its CBeebies or whatever the ITV version is called.<br />
<br />
The key change would be you have a choice and you can make that choice
by buying the encrypted channels direct from source just as you do with
a Sky subscription. Sky and other companies have cracked the
technology, they have cracked the way to chain people to their product
so it can be done but it isn't.<br />
<br />
The reason the stupid TV Licence is still around is because it generates enormous revenues for the government. <br />
Here's the proof.<br />
According to the 2001 census there are 21,660,000 occupied homes in
England and Wales (why Scotland isn't included in these figures is
another example of why we live in a stupid world but that's for another
day) The TV licence costs £145.50 a year or as TV Licence like to put it 'less than 40p a day'.<br />
Amazingly I hear people saying this is 'excellent value for money'
which it does indeed appear to be on the surface but assuming a
generous 10% of people get free TV licences because they are over 75
this 'value for money' licence scam generates <b>£2,836,377,000</b>.<br />
<br />
Imagine having a guaranteed annual income of almost three thousand
million pounds just for issuing a piece of paper that is totally and
utterly worthless as anyone with a digital decoder can access free to
air TV channels because they are unencrypted.<br />
Anyone can buy a television.<br />
Anyone can buy a computer<br />
Anyone can buy a digital signal decoder<br />
Anyone can buy a TV aerial<br />
<br />
None of these things require a licence to be sold in any part of the United Kingdom<br />
<br />
Anyone can buy these things and anyone can connect them to the
electricity they need to run and in fact anyone can connect them all
together to access any unencrypted TV&nbsp; or radio channels that are
flying around the UK or beyond, if your aerial is big enough.<br />
None of this requires a licence.<br />
<br />
If you switch everything on and only use your equipment to listen to digital radio then that does not require a licence.<br />
If you switch everything and only use you equipment to watch DVD's then that does not require a licence.<br />
<br />
Apparently though if you intend to use your equipment to watch real
time encryption free television broadcasts then you need a licence. <br />
<br />
It's just a total scam.<br />
<br />
You could leave all this equipment running 24 hours a day 7 days a week
in any room in your house and as long as you do not intend watching any
of it you do not need a licence. <br />It might be possible to detect when a
TV is switched on. <br />
I know it is impossible to know if a computer is switched on let alone receiving a television signal.<br />
I know it is impossible to detect a digibox that is detecting a TV signal.<br />I know it is impossible to detect a TV signal being received by an aerial and passed down a coax wire to a digibox or TV.<br />
I know that no matter what may actually be inside TV 'detector' vans or
in the hand held 'tv detectors' they have never ever been used as
evidence to prosecute anyone who admits to intending to watch
unencrypted television broadcasts in a home the TV Licence database
says doesn't have a licence. <br />
<br />
The TV licence is all about revenue generation in the form of a legalised scam.<br />
<br />
It would be very, very easy to encrypt all TV signals but then the
government (which is the United Kingdoms biggest buyer of commercial
television advertising) would lose its power to control the masses.
Propaganda would cease to be effective as people would be freed from
being fed drivel on all channels. Eventually they would wake up to the
fact that television is not real and that would not be in the
governments interests because a free mind can see straight through the
governments deceptions which isn't that much of a problem as new idiots
are being born every day but there is the risk the free minds will stop
paying for things they have no need to and this may cascade out of
control and the licence scams that generate billions could be wiped out
altogether.<br />
<br />
If 3% of the population believed that driving licences and TV licences
were a scam they would disappear. The military know that if just 3% of
any population gain a new belief the entire population becomes
uncontrollable.<br />
<br />
So wise up to the licence scams. Don't believe a single word I have
written. Go find out for yourself. Be prepared though because almost
everything you take for granted in this life is just one scam on top of
another.<br />

        <![CDATA[Is there an election on?<br />
<br />
I've taken the simple step of ignoring the election and you know what it
almost goes away. I've not watched any politician lie in public on the
BBC and get away with it. I have never answered the door to a local
political activist who would only stand there and lie. I've only heard
about the storm in a tea cup surrounding Brown because I cannot wean
myself off the blog of Captain Ranty. Bstard!<br />
Captain Ranty a heady brew of lawful rebellion and politics.<br />
<br />
The question is am I missing out? ]]>
        <![CDATA[Well no not at all. <br />I am going to get financially shafted just like
every poor sap who happens to reside in Great Britain who believes
their votes really do change things. Votes in a political election are
utterly, utterly pointless things that are hailed as a democratic
right. Who the fcuk gave me the right to vote?<br />
Who was so powerful, so wise, so magnanimous that they gave me a 'right' I never even asked for?<br />
<br />
All this and every general election is about is giving the current form
of government some sort of paper thin democratic veneer so that the
'people' are held in compliant slavery where they submit to being taxed
the the hilt to fund massive government and its human backers,
oppressed by every cause, quango, lobby group, pressure group, charity
into behaving the way they are told to on pain of penal fine or loss of
liberty.<br />
<br />
I have never consented to be part of this mad bad system. My consent is
simply assumed to have taken place because the idiots send me a voting
card. They will also send me an 'electoral roll' form which PROVES I
live where they think I do. Why do they need to send out such forms?<br />
What possible purpose could they serve?<br />
<br />
If the Election really wasn't a done deal and our votes really did make
all the difference why do they need to know what name we have been
saddled with and where that name lives?<br />
<br />
You walk into the polling office and you hand them a card with your
name and address on and a couple of numbers whose purpose isn't made
clear.<br />
You hand it over to someone you don't know (identity fraud anyone?) and they go down a list of 'registered voters'.<br />
If you are on that list they then put a cross next to your name (why?)
and then hand you a numbered 'voting slip' (why is this voting slip
numbered?)<br />
Then you go into a little stall where you can put a cross against a
name on a piece of paper and then you can fold it and drop it in a
'sealed' box making sure no-one else can see how you voted. <br />
You walk out believing you have taken part in a secret vote in a
democracy and that is what you father/parents/grand parents died for.<br /><br />And at what point during this process did you have to hand over a utility bill to 'prove' you are the person whose name is on that card?<br />I could quite easily have a card per ward and tour the town voting time after time. As long as the name on the card is preceded by a 'Mr' I am golden. I can have many many 'votes' in the one election and the 'authorities' as they call themselves would be none the wiser.<br />Still think the outcome of this election depends on YOU HAVING A VOTE?<br />
<br />
First of all nobody died to protect your voting rights. They didn't die
to protect their own. They died because there was money to be made out
of wars. There still is which is why there is at least one going on
every single year since the end of World War ll.<br />
<br />
Secondly why do you need to be registered to vote?<br />
By being registered you are consenting to hand over responsibility for
your life to a political system that is designed from top to bottom to
enslave you. By registering you are ensuring that the political system
can carry on exactly as before and can take you anywhere it wants and
you the registered individual cannot argue against it because... that
system gave you a vote. <br />
<br />
What is the purpose of the numbers on all the papers and cards?<br />
I wish I had an answer. There seems to be no need for them and yet they
are used to track something or why else would they be there.<br />
<br />
And what is with this privacy thing?<br />
I don't get that at all. What difference would it make if I walked into
a polling station and I asked everyone in the room how they had voted?<br />
They either tell me or they would tell me to get stuffed. There is no
need for privacy at all. Then again there is no need for voting either.<br />
<br />
It's all a sham. There is no democracy. I doubt there ever has been.
This country used to be run by the aristocratic class which kept
everyone else in their place. It is now run by political class which
has royally screwed the aristocratic class by taking their land and
money off them by ever more onerous legislation spewed out by the
political parliament. The second chamber was the aristocrats last grip
on power but the political class has managed to render them impotent
with even more legislation passed into what is laughingly called law by
645 thieves and liars.<br />
<br />
For the majority there is no noticeable difference which the majority
would realise if they would but sit down and look at their own
situations for the length of time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.
All you are voting for in this election is who gets the right to shaft
you for the next five years. After that none of it matters because
unless the EU manages to totally fcuk things up and I am hopeful that this
will prove to be the case given the state of Great Britain's fiscal
status which will make Greece's look like a nonsense, but unless they
fcuk things up Great Britain will be split into regions and be
absorbed into the soft soviet called Federal Europe. <br />
<br />
Even then I doubt anyone would notice the difference much less do
anything about it. By not voting I am making a conscious decision not
give the political class the right to shaft me.No doubt they will still
shaft me because they assume they have given me the right anyway as
they sent me a card. The fact I haven't used it will be totally ignored
by them so you could argue its a truly pointless gesture on my part but
I don't really give a fcuk.<br />
I am not doing it to make a statement to anyone else. I am not voting
to make a statement to myself that I am sick of being told what I have
to do and when I have to do it and the only human being who can change
that is me.<br />

        <![CDATA[As far as I am aware I did not join an unnamed society at the moment of
my birth. I did not receive an application form or a verbal invite and
even if I did I could not speak nor could I read or write. I must have
had some sort of awareness of self as I was able to suckle and shit
although arguably that might have just been instinct.<br />
<br />
I had no name when I was born. I had no concept of what a name was or
why one is necessary I was just a baby human being. Had my parents not
given me a name, had my mother not been attended by a state midwife,
had one of my parents not registered my birth with the state then the
government wouldn't have been aware I even existed. ]]>
        <![CDATA[It's at this point I ask a question that is very hard to answer... <br />
Why does any government need to know when a baby has been born?<br />
I've gone through every possible reason, hospitals in the right place,
midwives in the right place, financial assistance in the right place,
enough future housing in the right place but each answer is not
dependent on the individual birth being made known to the government.<br />
There seems to be no logical need for the government of the United
Kingdom to be made aware a birth has occurred. The baby has at least
one parent and that parent may or may not have British nationality but
still the government wants that birth recorded in its files but why?<br />
<br />
At what point in my life did I join this unnamed society?<br />
Was it really when my birth was registered by my parents?<br />
Was it earlier when the midwife registered the birth?<br />
was it when I gained a National Insurance number at 16?<br />
<br />
Whenever it was I was never asked if I wanted to join, never shown the
benefits of being part of it, never shown the mission or policy of that
society and never shown how it was possible to leave it. Therefore
there has to have been an assumption or there is a well hidden group of
people travelling the country getting babies to put their hand print on
a society application form or behind the scenes in government the birth
certificate number and the National Insurance number must be used in
some way to bind the human beings to this unnamed society.<br />
<br />
When I had children of my own one of whom is now 16 and has been given
a National Insurance number by this unnamed society it became clear
that there are no mysterious people wandering the country hand printing
babies and yet my oldest received a National Insurance number as if by
magic through the post at the sixteenth anniversary of the birth. So
something has to be going on behind the scenes involving at least two
government departments and the birth registration number. The number in
the ledger that happened to be the one I inadvertently landed my child
with back when I thought you HAD TO register a birth. <br />
You don't as it turns out. It is a request more than anything even
though the government threaten the parent with a fine. If the birth is
not attended by a state midwife and the parents don't register the
birth then there is no way the government can know that that baby has
been born as it doesn't have a birth registration number.<br />
<br />
The government department responsible for such things takes this birth
registration number and calculates when the human being it was attached
to reaches the age of 16 and then issues that human being with a
National insurance number. Presumably there is some sort of checking
process whereby the department finds out if that human is still alive
and still living within the geographical area of that governments area
of influence but if both of these criteria fit then the number gets
sent out. <br />
The government department sends it to the address of the parents but in
the name of the child so how does the government know where the parents
are living, if they are still together and if the child is still living
with its parents?<br />
<br />
The government which is running this unnamed society wants to know
everything it possibly can about the individual human beings that
happen to live within its geographical area of influence. These days
this government is extending its knowledge base to cover individual
human beings who were born within its geographical area of influence
and have moved outside of it. It does this with treaty and coercion
tactics with foreign governments and tight integration with supposedly
private details between banks/companies/societies (real ones that you
apply to join and can leave whenever you want) and the individual human
being.<br />
<br />
Why does the government which is supposed to be a servant of the people
want to control the people whose consent is required for it to exist...
allegedly?<br />
<br />
There has to be an answer but trying to figure it out logically is impossible at least for me.<br />
There is no valid reason for the existence of any government other than control of individual human beings.<br />
All government legislation is drawn up by lawyers who use a genuine
foreign language called Legalese that looks exactly like English,
sounds exactly like English but has all of the common English meanings
replaced by its own. Black's Law Dictionary is as real as the Oxford
English dictionary but it as foreign as the Chambers German Dictionary
is. <br />
The only sane reason why Black's Law Dictionary and the language it
defines Legalese, exists is there has to be a foreign power within the
British government. If this foreign power did all of its business in
Latin or German then it would be exposed for all to see and removed
from the British Government by the British people unless that foreign
power actually did a brilliant job.<br />
<br />
Once the lawyers draw up the legislation in legalese they present it to
the elected and unelected 'representatives' of the people who read it
in plain common English so do not understand the meanings in use,
unless they are lawyers which many of them are, and it is then passed
into statute law or government legislation which is legally binding on
all members of the unnamed society that everyone is assumed to have
joined just because they were born or they live within the geographical
area that is under British government control. The only time the true
legalese meanings come to the human beings attention is when one of
them transgresses this legislation and they end up in court coughing up
a penal sum for something that in plain English is ludicrous but in
Legalese makes perfect sense. (Not that ANYTHING in legaleses makes
sense)<br />
<br />
Without Legalese there would be no Law society. <br />
Without the Law society there would be no lawyers. <br />
Without the lawyers there would be no legislation. <br />
Without legislation you and I would live a life free from big government control.<br />
Legalese and everything it supports only exists to deceive natural born
human beings so completely that they allow themselves to be controlled,
fined, punished at the whim of lawyers in government who either dream
up new ways to keep the people guessing or act upon the instructions of
those who assume they have supreme power upon the earth.<br />
<br />
I see much written about a new world order and how it plans to take
over the world a just one government of lawyers running everything and
there is much to suggest that this is precisely what is happening.
Companies across the world have always got bigger using the bogus
economies of scale argument to justify their expansion and takeover of
their smaller rivals. All they are really doing is reducing competition
because the people who own them (the shareholders) want an ever bigger
piece of the pie.<br />
As these same shareholders are the ones that back governments and
belong to societies, they can join and leave of their own free will,
whose aims are to increase the amount of influence they have over other
human beings then it is logical that these same 'take out smaller
rivals' arguments still apply so they are actively reducing the numbers
of nations in the world and removing governments in the process.<br />
<br />
Whether this amounts to a conspiracy I have no idea. It doesn't matter
if there is a conspiracy or their isn't. What matters is events and
actions.<br />
The United Nations exists.<br />
It is a sprawling totally ineffective organisation that is far too
loose. The shareholders cannot control the members as they are too many
of them in there and so it gets bogged down in pointless circular
argument so there is no way that organisation can be used to bring in
total control.<br />
The European Union exists. <br />
It is very much like the UN in that it is a sprawling organisation but
it is a better model as its members are fewer and more tightly
controlled. They have been able to force a basket of countries to
accept dropping border controls and cross border trade tariffs. They
have been able to force a group of countries to throw their national
currencies in the bin and adopt the EU's currency the Euro. They have
forced all countries, even those whose national constitutions force the
national government to hold a referendum on constitutional matters to
accept a treaty which actually creates a Federal European State in all
but name. That state now has a president.<br />
<br />
This model has been far more successful than the UN so it is being used
to create similar groupings around the world. Once these groups are
ensconced and assuming they don't manage to fall out with other then it
will be a relatively simple matter to allow a period of rampant
prosperity for all to take place and then either a natural catastrophe
or man made natural catastrophe or a totally artificial financial
catastrophe or world war will take place which will be 'solved' by
merging the three or four new 'States' into one.<br />
<br />
This is of course just one scenario but is just as likely as any other
on the table. We live in the here and now and the future consists of
infinite numbers of possibilities so I don't normally crystal ball gaze
but what is happening today points to a tomorrow not dissimilar to the
one I have outlined.<br />
<br />
Whatever.<br />
<br />
My conclusion is that as I have never asked to join the unnamed society
then I cannot be part of it. Therefore there is nothing to leave.
However I have no desire to go and live in another part of the world. I
like a lot of things about the land I live upon. The scenery, the ever
changing weather, the sheer variety of landscape within the place, some
of the people, the quality of the food and the constant availability of
water and electricity.<br />
There are lots of things I don't like such as government, legislation,
pettiness, unavoidable taxation, the pollution, the state of everything
that is controlled by the government from pavements to air travel, the
assumption that I am part of a society I have never asked to join to
name but a few.<br />
<br />
An hours walk along a deserted beach at low tide when the majority of
the people are scurrying about at work earning money to pay their taxes
to a government they despise but won't do anything to change it is
enough to put all the things that are wrong with this country out of my
mind. As I am rapidly discovering this government doesn't really have
any power over a single human being without that human beings consent.
If that consent is withdrawn legislation ceases to be a problem.<br />
Taxation is still a problem as the government has woven taxation into
all manner of things from the wonder of VAT to electronic payments
which records things for 'income tax purposes' on to direct and
pointless taxes such as road tax, tv licence, council tax, fuel duty
etc but it is possible to reduce or negate even these oppressive costs
on life with a little bit of ingenuity and steel.<br />
<br />
Withdrawing consent is very easy once you get into it and despite the
repeated warnings that the sky will fall in it doesn't. Thing is the
government makes it all sound very scary and there 'will be penalties'
if you do not comply with their taxation and their legislation and this
is the only thing people need to be made aware of to get them to stand
up for themselves.<br />
<br />
Taxation and legislation are the government's products. They only apply
to those people who consent to themselves as being part of the unnamed
society that they have never been asked to join. They are binding ONLY
on the members of that society not anyone else. That is the way
societies ALL societies work. It is the only way they can work.<br />
A society cannot coerce people to join, it cannot deceive people to
join because to do so would be breaking the law (not legislation). If
you apply to join that society and be bound by its rules that is for
the human being to decide. If that society then goes in a direction
that the individual human being doesn't like then they can leave that
society and be no longer bound by its rules.<br />
This is just how it is. This is the way societies operate.<br />
<br />
There is nothing to stop a group of people in my town getting together
and forming a society to freely collect every members rubbish, recycle
it and hand any profits back to the members. If you are not a member
then you will not have your rubbish recycled nor be able to share in any profits. If you join you can leave
at any time. The point is you have to join it.<br /><br />You and I have never
joined the unnamed society ruled by the United Kingdom government so
there is nothing to leave. All you have to do is withdraw your consent
to being bound by its rules.<br />
<br />
If enough people do this it will go out of business. Simples.]]>

        <![CDATA["<i>I have been really touched by two recent stories on your site: 
Patriots like Deer 'Frozen in the Headlights' by David Richards and 'I'm
 Wary of Anti- NWO Groups Like LaRouche's' by Don Bradley. It is indeed 
time to start talking solutions, which are readily available for all 
individuals."</i>
<br />

<br />
We have had plenty of time and pleasure exposing the 
Illuminati/Banker/B'nai B'rith/Freemason conspiracy. But wallowing in 
spooky stories of MKUltra, Fractional Reserve Banking, Satanism and what
 have you does indeed invite depression. Ed Griffin rightly said 
something to the effect of 'scaring people to death with all these 
stories creates apathy; talking solutions creates action'.
<br />

<br />
And <a href="http://www.henrymakow.com/wary_of_lyndon_larouche_resist.html">Don
 Bradley</a> is absolutely correct that we need individual action. Maybe
 small organizations by determined individuals. But we need to 
understand very clearly that our self-declared masters hope to get us 
into a fight. Fighting is what they are good at. They relish the blood 
sacrifices for their fallen angel. They enjoy the fear and pain that it 
brings.
<br />

<br />
They have been preparing for this fight for decades, if not centuries. 
They are ready for it and they will an open battle  win without a doubt.
<br />

<br />
Edward Gibbon stated: 'the tyrant of a single town, or a small district,
 would soon discover that an hundred armed followers were a weak defense
 against ten thousand peasants or citizens; but an hundred thousand 
well-disciplined soldiers will command, with despotic sway, ten millions
 of subjects.'
<br />

<br />
But the solution to our predicament is quite simple. One only needs to 
understand that their incredible power is based on our cooperation. It 
is dependent on it. We despise the system, but let's face it: we are 
working within it. Most of us are trying to get their share of the 
crumbs our masters leave on the table.
<br />

<br />
<div align="center"><b>DISCONNECTING FROM THE SYSTEM</b></div> 
<br />
The Illuminati fear only one thing: non-cooperation.
<br />

<br />
We are in total control of our fate and we can quickly make this NWO 
nightmare go away by taking just a few simple steps. I'll propose four, 
which I believe are key and are easy to achieve, but there are more and 
will leave it to the intelligence of all out there to be creative on 
this one.
<br />

<br />
1. Take your money out of the bank.
<br />

<br />
We know about Fractional Reserve Banking. We know that our savings are 
multiplied by at least 10 and than lent out at interest rates of five to
 ten percent. If you take 100,000 out of the bank, you take away up to 
100,000 income for the bank.
<br />

<br />
Take your money out of the bank NOW. Buy some silver coins, pay off debt
 or your mortgage. Invest it in local enterprises so that the money is 
doing some good work. Better yet, start looking for local currencies to 
pay with. Defeat usury!
<br />
It not only protects your wealth (because in the next round of 
insolvencies, which is expected shortly, savers will have to bleed too, 
they can't expect the taxpayer to compensate them endlessly), but also 
destroy that vampire squid we call Banking.
<br />
 
<br />
We know we are dealing with a Central Banking cartel, so why are we 
putting our money there?
<br />

<br />
2. Take immediate control of your health. 
<br />

<br />
Health is not the absence of disease. Creating vibrant health is one of 
the major opportunities for everybody in this lifetime.
<br />

<br />
Health is not acquired by visiting doctors. Far from it. Iatrogenic 
disease is the number one cause of death in the US.
<br />

<br />
In 2001 783,936 people died by Allopathy. 'Only' 553,251 died of cancer,
 but you must realize that many of those actually died of the 
chemotherapy, radiation and operations they took.
<br />

<br />
Did you know there are only five known instances of dramatic decrease in
 mortality rates in communities worldwide? You know what these instances
 had in common? There was a doctor's strike. After they resumed their 
jobs, mortality rates quickly got back to their former level <span style="font-size: 12px;">(<a href="http://www.whale.to/a/last1.html" target="_blank">www.whale.to/a/last1.html</a>)</span>
<br />

<br />
How do you create good health? There are three major items: finding 
spiritual peace, a wholesome diet and the avoidance of toxins. Easier 
said than done, but for most people even a few steps in this direction 
would quickly result in profound effects.
<br />
 
<br />
Educate yourself. Build a network of natural healers. Discuss health 
with your friends and family. Avoid doctors and their bizarre 
concoctions. Realize that the word Pharmacy is etymologically linked to 
the ancient Greek word Pharmakopeia, meaning 'sorcery'. Don't put your 
health in the hands of others, but find your own resources.
<br />

<br />
3. Avoid Multinationals
<br />

<br />
By saving a dime at Walmart, you are allowing a dollar to get out of 
your regional economy. You are backstabbing your neighbor. Go shop at 
his or her business. They can invest the money back into your community,
 instead of sucking the community dry with Chinese Slave Labor.
<br />

<br />
Saving a dime there will have your kids end up begging for a little job 
there. Shopping at your neighbor will allow a thriving local community 
with far better economic opportunities for yourself. Think a little 
longer term and don't whine about the short term loss. Buying locally is
 an investment that is absolutely sure to pay off in the longer term.
<br />

<br />
They are luring you with a little discount. Don't be a fool falling for 
it.
<br />

<br />
Avoiding getting your gas at Exxon is difficult, but it is good to 
realize you are supporting some of the main sponsors of the Iraqi 
Genocide and coming World War 3 starting against Iran. 
<br />

<br />
4. Don't vote; don't write your congressman and don't sign petitions.
<br />

<br />
You know what you are showing them when you write them? That you are a 
good little serf pleading with his master.
<br />
 
<br />
Everybody today is gloating about the news that millions of whites are 
deserting the Democrats. What fools that they were there to begin with. 
Where are they going now? Back to these Republican Neo Con bastards?
<br />

<br />
Don't vote. Show them you do not recognize their system. Show them you 
know voting is empowering them. Don't threaten them. It is just giving 
them an excuse to implement their Patriot Act Police State.
<br />

<br />
These people have very fragile ego's. The one thing they hate is being 
ignored.
<br />

<br />
<div align="center"><b>CONCLUSION</b></div>
<br />
Nobody is expected to change his or her lifestyle over night. But every 
little step in the right direction helps. Every step is one shackle less
 wearing you down. Every step is one nail in their coffin.
<br />
 
<br />
Don't talk about it. Do it. Live by example and know that our Lord sees 
what others do not.

        <![CDATA[If this or anything remotely like it was on offer from any United Kingdom Political Party. <br />This isn't mine but I wholeheartedly agree with every point he makes... ]]>
        <![CDATA[From Captain Ranty a smoking, globe travelling, scot!<br /><br />You are going to get these rammed down your throat for the next four 
weeks, so I thought I'd get mine in early.<br />
<br />
Most politicians claim they need 100 days to effect change. I disagree. I
 need 100 minutes. That includes 1 hour for lunch, and two smoke breaks.
 And I am famous for skiving too. My plan is still easily achievable.<br />
<br />
If I were standing, and if I were elected, these would be the things I 
did in the first 100 minutes:<br />
<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b>1. Leave the EU.</b></font> <br />Using violence if called upon so to do. We get our 
country back. Number 1 Priority.<br />
<br />
<b><font style="font-size: 1.25em;">2. Repeal all statutes from 1997 onwards.</font></b> <br />(With a swift trip back to 
1972 to rip up,&nbsp;burn, then shred, the European Communities Act).<br />
<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b>3. Select one man/woman, to act as International Liaison. </b></font><br />The other 645 
are surplus to requirements.<br />
<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b>4. All quangos are ended. </b></font><br />No exceptions.<br />
<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b>5. All charities that leech money from the government are ended.</b></font><br /> No 
exceptions.<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b><br />
6. All administrative, judicial and policing powers are devolved all the
 way down to your local town hall. However big or small it is.</b></font> <br />Town 
Hall&nbsp;leaders, judges, and police chiefs will be elected by the local 
populace.<br />
<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b>7. All town halls given tax raising powers. </b></font><br />Any that try to demand more 
than 10% will go to gaol. Local tax(from 3-5%)&nbsp;to replace VAT. Council 
Tax is gone. Road Tax is gone. Tax on fuel is gone. Tobacco Tax is gone.
 Alcohol Tax is gone. And any more that I can think of during my first 
smoke break.<br />
<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b>8. All hospitals to lose at least 80% of their "Admin" staff. </b></font><br />Power to 
be restored to matrons. (The ex-Admin staff will be offered minimum wage
 and handed wire wool and Dettol and will be instructed to get their 
buildings cleaned up. Any hospitals in which MRSA reappears will be 
charged with criminal neglect).<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b><br />
9. Armed Forces to be beefed up, to be well&nbsp;equipped, well&nbsp;paid, and 
cared for properly.</b></font> <br />They will assume a defence role only. We will only 
go to war if we are attacked on our own soil. We will retain a nuclear 
option. We have always been a nation with a bite like a rabid baboon. We
 will remind the world of this fact.<br />
<font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b><br />
10. Referenda will be held in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. </b></font><br />If they 
want out, we shake them by the hand and wish them all the best. Same for
 the Cornish. And Birmingham.<br />
<br />
You want justification? <br />If you keep&nbsp;giving a bloated government money, 
it will keep taking and it will keep&nbsp;wasting it. It is axiomatic. Get 
rid of a big fat government and you get rid of the need for excessive 
taxation.<br /> Hospitals full of clerks do nothing for the patients. We have 
dedicated nurses and doctors, and they must be allowed to do what they 
do best: make sick people better. No more targets for them. <br />If we have 
thousands of laws, people will, even purely by accident, transgress.Remove the plethora of statutes-no more crime. <br />All statutes to be 
replaced by one law: Do No Harm. Fall foul of this one law and your retrained judge, and a jury of your peers, will decide your fate. <br />
Police? <br />No targets other than to get boots on the ground. They will be 
retrained (by old school coppers) in their intended role as keepers of 
the peace.<br />
<br />
Leaving the EU is as&nbsp;obvious as it is mandatory. Nuff said.<br />
<br />
Quangos? <br />Waste of money. Busy work, nothing more. <br />
<br />
Charities? <br />If they can only survive on government hand-outs (ASH for 
example) then they aren't charities, they are government departments. 
Too expensive to keep. They will be terminated. With extreme prejudice, 
if required. Stand on your own two feet or die. Simples.<br />
<br />
I know, I know. I have missed out a fecking great pile of stuff. But the
 above will all be achieved before knock off on the first day. I will 
use the rest of the week to clean up all those other things that piss us
 off.<br />
<br />
On the Friday I will retire. Job done.<br />
<br />
Brits will then determine how their lives are run. If they want to lock 
horns over inanities in their town halls all day long, do it. Whatever 
lights your candle. <br />
<br />
Oh. One more thing. You have to live with your decisions. However bad 
they are. It is called personal responsibility. Yes. It's back!<br />
<br />
Me? <br />I'll be down the Dog &amp; Duck having a guilt-free smoke with a 
guilt-free pint and a guilt-free double cheeseburger and chips. If I die
 before the allotted time-span (according to some twat in a white coat),
 so be it. I won't be suing anyone, nosirreebob.<br />
<br />
That's it.<br /><br />CR<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[Council tax seems to me to be a tax on the property paid by the human beings living within that property. Ostensibly the money it generates is used by a council composed of elected human beings and unelected human beings to provide 'services' for the people who live within the purely artificial geographical boundary of that council.<br />The range of 'services' this artificial body has to provide are set in part by the council itself, in part by the larger regional council, in part by the national government, in part by the gargantuan behemoth called the European Union, in part by the UN, and finally in part by lobby and pressure groups across the United Kingdom collectively called the righteous.<br /> ]]>
        <![CDATA[You will notice in that assessment there is no mention of the local human beings who happen to reside within the artificial boundary of the council. The message is clear local human beings have but one say in the affairs of their local council and that voting in a local council election. After that they have to comply with everything that the council decides is right and proper even if they don't agree with any of it or even if they don't use many of the services the council provides for them.<br /><br />This is what passes for democracy in Great Britain these days. It's really a sick joke that is wearing pretty thin.<br />The council tax is raised from the people and yet the people hand over all say over how it is to be spent by taking part in a local election or by not rebutting the councils right to charge them for services they don't use.<br /><br />Each Council tax statement, note well they never send you an invoice which is very significant in the grand scheme of things, comes with a booklet explaining how the council spends its money. Much of this expenditure goes to keep people on benefits, much of it goes on utterly bizarre things that the council has to meddle in because the artificial entities listed earlier say they do. Very little seems to be spent on things that matter to me personally.<br /><br />Like everyone else I have to simply accept that because I was given a vote I have agreed to being part of their system and so must accept everything the system does or doesn't do for me. This is tacit consent because I haven't got off my lazy arse and argued that I do not want to be part of their system or issued an affidavit informing them that I am not going to be part of their system and therefore their system no longer applies to me and I will be totally responsible for myself.<br /><br />If the Council sent me an itemised list of services they provide and I could pick and choose which ones I subscribed to then that would make perfect sense as they could then target their finite income to exactly where the local people wanted them targeted. Then the council would really be working on behalf of the people.<br /><br />But some unpopular but very useful services wouldn't get the funding and would have to be dropped... goes the argument. Which is true. But the fact they are an unpopular service means there is very little need for them so why are they required in the first place?<br /><br />When i was a lad in the sixties and seventies I used to hear "Rag Bone" being shouted from the front street at least once a week. The rag and bone man used to collect anything no longer needed that could be sold on for money. In modern parlance he was a recycler.<br />He'd turn up on his horse and cart and take anything away from the household that was knackered, worn out, broken, no longer of any use etc<br /><br />He didn't cost the people of the town anything as he was doing this privately to give himself an income from selling everything on to scrap merchants. He wasn't paid for, funded by administered by, owned by the council and his service was free to use. <br />Fast forward to today and each property has two bins, a red bag, a green box and a green bags to sort everything out so that a fleet of wagons can turn up and clear away the recyclables. Each wagon is manned by at least three people so the cost of this 'service' that used to be done privately is astronomical and as it is run entirely by the local council every council taxpayer has to contribute to those immense running costs.<br /><br />Even worse if some private company tried to get into recycling from domestic households because they could make money from it the council would stop them because they wouldn't be able to measure, administer, meddle and hit or miss EU targets on landfill.<br /><br />It's lunacy and very undemocratic.<br /><br />The council tax is 'collected' not by HMRC but by a private company currently called Liberata. The council itself has long given up employing its own people to collect this onerous tax. It has been won over by the spurious 'contractors are cheaper' argument ads so they have installed Liberata as their tax enforcers.<br /><br />But a thought struck me. <br />Although there is no proof or evidence that I or any other local resident has ever signed a contract with the local council to say that I will pay for services that they have decided they will provide for my behalf ,it may be the case that by living in a house within that councils boundary is in fact a 'signing of a contract'&nbsp; its a very grey area worthy of more study, but I can categorically state the council has signed a contract with Liberata which I nor any other local resident is party to.<br /><br />I do not have a contract with Liberata so why should I or anyone else who doesn't have a contract with Liberarta give them any money which they pass on to the council who they do have a contract with?<br /><br />So much of life that I had taken for granted up until early 2009 is actually not what it appears to be.<br /><br />I am in the process of asking for invoices for all manner of services that companies provide for me often whether I want them or not. To date I have not received a one. This suggests that there is no contract in place or if there was it has vanished into some melting pot of finance. Without a contract there cannot be a bill of sale or invoice and without an invoice being presented then payment cannot take place.<br /><br />When I go into a shop and get to a checkout with a basket of good the shop should really provide me with an invoice that I sign to accept as the true value of my purchases and I hand over the invoice along with the agreed payment. The shop assistant then signs the invoice as an agent of the company and gives me the invoice back along with any change. They may keep a copy for their records but this doesn't happen.<br /><br />We hand over debt notes in exchange for goods and the only proof we are given that a contract has been accepted and fulfilled is a till receipt. There is nothing on that till receipt that shows that two independent parties took part in the transaction. All it shows is that some debt notes or electronic debt notes were given to the shop in return for the sale of the goods listed on the till receipt. There is nothing recorded about who I am indeed I am never asked who I am by the shop assistant or anyone else in their company.<br /><br />It seems that under some form of contract there doesn't need to be two signatories for it to be valid. There doesn't seem to be a need for any signatures let alone the production of an invoice. When trying to get a refund the shop asks for the till receipt as 'proof of sale' which isn't an invoice so where in that transaction does contract law apply<br /><br />As I said much of life that we all take for granted is not what it appears to be.&nbsp; <br /><br />]]>

        <![CDATA[Words are strange things. They are spoken, sung or written and then they are gone. Words seem to exist as a way of communicating between two humans assuming of course those two humans are able to converse in the same language. <br />The Chinese have 52 tribes within their borders and few can understand each others spoken language but all have an understanding of their written language which is what binds them together in one huge country.<br /> ]]>
        <![CDATA[I had this explained to me in more detail a long time ago by a Chinese friend but it escapes me now but one other thing he said was learning English was as hard for Chinese people as learning Mandarin Chinese. He complained that English was full of double meanings and many words sound the same but have different meanings depending on how they are spelt and how they are used. <br /><br />I had never thought of English as being hard to learn. It seemed to make perfect sense to me, most of the time and although words came and went at least their meanings or definitions stayed the same.<br /><br />Well imagine how confused I was when I came up against Legalese which is a foreign language made up of English words which have been given entirely different meanings or definitions. I have delved into the Legalese language on many occasions and read studiously through some of these definitions as you can see here on this blog and even though the authors of the dictionary go into great detail in many cases why these definitions hold good they are so absurd they make my brain hurt.<br /><br />The lawyers use these definitions to produce everyday sentences and paragraphs in courts that sound perfectly acceptable to anyone who understands plain English but the reality is the definitions in play mean something entirely different. This is a deliberate deception plain and simple.<br /><br />Lawyers, courts, Parliament and all it's many different devices use the language of Legalese when 'contracting' or 'speaking' with every day common English men and women. They never tell these people they are in fact speaking an entirely different language that is loaded with utterly absurd meanings. Because the common man or woman doesn't know this is the case and therefore doesn't refuse to 'contract' or deal or talk to these agents of Parliament the agents assume that the common man or women consent to being spoken to in Legalese.<br /><br />It's a truly crazy situation and I am honestly at a loss to understand how it came about. <br />Can you imagine taking a language and giving the majority of its words completely new meanings to the accepted meanings of the words in common use and they presuming that the people you speak to know and understand that those meanings have been changed even though the spoken words sound the same?<br />It's insanity.<br /><br />Words are the most powerful medium we have as individuals. I have been fortunate enough throughout my life to have been able to talk my way out the overwhelming majority of bad situations I have found myself in. Only once can I recall in nearly fifty years have I ever had to threaten violence on another human to back up my words. There must have been other occasions because my brother and I used to "fight" all the time but in my adult life this one occasion stands out as the only time I have ever had to threaten violence and I have never actually meted it.<br /><br />What has changed for me is the discovery that the English Language has been totally corrupted by the Law Society and Parliament when they created their Legalese language. I now know to read and reread everything that appears on any sort of official document, request for money, court documents whatever as although they all appear to be written in English they are in fact written in Legalese. It's a very simple yet devastating deception that is being perpetrated by a small number of human beings on the majority of human beings living in the British Isles. <br />]]>
