		<description>“The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing”
William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England, c1694. 

“Those who create and issue money and credit, direct the policies of government, and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people”
Sir Reginald Mckenna Former Bank of England c1922

6. How to sell the goal? – “Pressure from above and below” Deliberately create problems, and then offer ONLY those solutions that result in the continued expansion of Government control, create conditions so frightful at home and abroad, that the abandonment of personal liberties and national sovereignty will appear as a reasonable price, for a return to domestic tranquillity and world peace.  If those who seek world dominion can simulate leftist mobs into violent confrontation with local law enforcement and also provide exhaustive news coverage so that the entire nation can see and tremble, then the peaceful and freedom loving majority can be programmed to accept a vast expansion of government powers and even a national police force, offered supposedly to end the violence.  “The real action is in the reaction!”

7. Response – The two foundations of the system must be destroyed. 1. Big Government and (2) the manipulation of money control. Reduce the size of government and return the money to a standard that cannot be manipulated. The dismantlement of big government is the first action to be taken, the return of schools to local control, police to be removed from central government. Denounce revenue sharing as a transparent device leading to control over local government, and promote local representatives who will reduce the size of local government. Theses local representatives must be independent of established politics.</description>

		<description>Whilst Roger offers a very tempting lifestyle, does he not think that the &quot;authorities&quot; will not jail the culprits ?

After all, they ALWAYS jail old age pensioners, male or female, who refuse to pay their council tax.  This is  to to show the other 11 million that&#039;s where they&#039;ll end up if they copy this action.  So FEAR controls most people.  Fear of loss of freedom, loss of jobs, loss of homes,loss of their money.  In addition, governments, particularly THIS government,  frighten them further with fear of climate change, terrorism, crime and no go areas,etc.

You can burgle, mug or kill, and NOT go to prison.

Where does it all stop.  When the populace is totally cowed ?

You tell me !  Please !</description>

		<description>How to solve the worlds financial problem.

1 Nobody pay any more money to banks for their mortgages - these to be excused.
2. Ditto all credit cards, personal and business loans and overdrafts - all excused.
3. Nobody to pay another penny in tax to governments - let them go bankrupt... taking gold plated politician&#039;s pension with them... down the drain
4. With all the remaining money that people have from their now overly generous wages... everybody make an appropriate contribution to their fire department, police (provided they do the job they are supposed to) the local hospital,  etc. and save some money for a pension.
5. If you feel the urge NOT to pay traffic wardens and elf and safety busy bodies... thats&#039;s fine.
6. If you want to give your hard earned money to the unemployed so that they can hang around the pubs playing pool - feel free.
7.Give a bit to genuine charities so that they can help the genuinely disadvantaged... they are much better equipped to know who these are.
8. Plant some veges in your garden and buy a couple of chickens and trade your eggs and carrots with the guy down the road who has started his own brewery.
9. Never pay VAT on anything ever again.
10. This plan isn&#039;t perfect and needs refining, but its a darn sight better than the one we have already. 
11. When the revolution begins... support it, we need all the help we can get.
12. Be happy, be free.</description>

We will NOT accept kilometres, or driving on the right  -  why should we ?

They can keep their stars of Strasboug - just raise the Union Flag - constantly !

Mandelson may be devious, cunning and clever, but might is right, as he will find out</description>

		<description>All the politicians, economists, bankers etc., are all saying &quot;we must all pull together&quot; 
to save the banking system.   Who takes the rap?  The poor old taxpayer, again.  He has no right of appeal, no redress, no voice.  Just pay up - and shut up.

The only people who don&#039;t suffer are, the politicians, economists, bankers etc.(see line 1 ).

When a CEO of a national bank resigns and receives over £11,000 PER WEEK PENSION , for &quot;services rendered&quot; then surely the world is going bonkers.

In my day, if you messed up then you got the sack.  How times have changed.</description>

		<description>No, this is no miracle. The new age is going to be a dark one if Darling and his fellow travelling idiots keep pouring monetary gasoline on the raging fire that is our collapsing banking system.

Corporatize the profits, socialize the costs - i.e. leave us taxpayers holding the bag for their evil, corrupt and bankrupt global system.</description>

		<description>London Banks Are Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down...

Increase  DecreaseOctober 7, 2008 (LPAC)--Three of Great Britain&#039;s largest banks--the Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and Lloyds--reportedly held late night meetings on Monday night with Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling and Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, to cobble together a giant government bail-out package to prevent the banks from going under. Although Darling would not confirm the meeting, saying coyly &quot;It would be irresponsible to speculate on the specifics of future responses&quot;--the only known case where Darling has opposed speculation--the discussions reportedly did occur, and they centered on a $79 billion government bailout. 

Part of the problem is that country&#039;s top six banks have $95 billion in paper coming due by March 2009, which is three times as much as the same period last year, and of course nobody is lending to anybody these days. Of this amount, $28 billion is owed by Barclays, and another $20 billion is owed by RBS, which is the Queen&#039;s own piggy bank. 

The markets were not comforted, however, by the assurances delivered by Barclays CEO John Varley, who said today: &quot;We have our feet on the ground.&quot; The banker gave no further indication, however, about the location of his head.</description>

Yes, but just who is responsible? Once again, the City of London is the culprit that is running events to their pre-defined script. By destroying the USA once and for all, Britannia will once again rule the waves. Or so they think...</description>
