Merry Christmas to all ... and here's one or two prezzies for you!

When the Dail Mail is still banging on about how 'global warming' is causing these harsh winters, UKIP's Nuttal tells the EU that the population is onto the AGW scam:



Meanwhile, Nigel Farrage delivers punch to the EU, in his usual robust way.

Metanoia: Mind control for profit

From the Greek - to perceive, to think, the result of perceiving or observing - metanoia means "a change of mind".

In Theology, metanoia is used to refer to the change of mind which is brought about in repentance.

The prefix "meta-" carries with it other variants that are consistent with the Eastern Greek philosophical mindset, "Meta-" is additionally used to imply "beyond" and "outside of." E.g., metamorphosis as a beyond-change; and, metaphysics as outside the limits of physics.

The Greek term for repentance, metanoia, denotes a change of mind, a reorientation, a fundamental transformation of outlook, of an individual's vision of the world and of her/himself, and a new way of loving others and the Universe. In the words of a second-century text, The Shepherd of Hermas, it implies "great understanding," discernment.

In Carl Jung's psychology, metanoia indicates a spontaneous attempt of the psyche to heal itself of unbearable conflict by melting down and then being reborn in a more adaptive form.

A very well-produced documentary on the mind control systems that "psycopathic" corporations have put in place, to line their pockets at our expense.

What democracy?

While I respect Janet Daley, I rarely agree with her! She offers some great arguments, but assumes that we have democracy, and seems to believe that government is on our side, somehow.

As such, in my view, she negates many of her own arguments.

We get to vote every 5 years on manifestos that aren't worth the paper they're printed on. None of the parties have any legal obligation to honour manifesto pledges.

We get to vote for candidates selected by the parties. So we either vote for them, or let the evil party back in.

All the parties have 'safe' seats, which means a job for life for the favoured few.

For fear of letting the commies in, we are tempted to vote for the "other" party - such is the great system we have in FPTP.

What point is there in voting for any of the main three parties?

The Swine flu extravaganza that the MSM loves

On several occasions recently, the Mail has whored itself to Big Pharma, propagating fear about swine flu.

On each occasion, I posted a comment which was not published. On the first occasion, NO comments were published. I wonder why! (Not).

The latest Mail article elicited a hardly credible 23 comments. Go figure.

My comment, in each case, was simply this:

Two questions:

1) What percentage of those allegedly killed by swine flu had the vaccine last year?

2) What evidence is there to support the assertion that the deaths *were* caused by swine flu?

It seems to me that the Mail finds these questions a tad uncomfortable. Can they answer them to to satisfaction of the populace? I doubt it.

Not hard to see where their loyalties lie and why we should not trust the MSM.

Update: And here they go again.The Telegraph is at it, too. Do we have the makings of yet another government campaign to finance Big Pharma? Perchance for election contributions?

Quote of the day

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.

Cicero, 55BC

Oh b*gger Carswell says:

UPDATE:  Another constituent emails to tell me that apparently Cicero said no such thing. 

This is one of those made up quotes that get set round the internet, apparently.  A bit like the speech by the Aussie Prime Minister which folk keep sending me ....

Still, it's a damned fine quote. Does anyone know who, if anyone penned it?

Loan to Ireland - does it help us or hurt us?

If we are providing a loan to Ireland, via money out of thin air, how does that impact on our coffers? We stand to gain interest payments of between 2 and 3%, on top of LIBOR for providing absolutely nothing but digits in an accounting system.

 

Are students being set up for a fall?

Apparently the Swedish bombers are British students. Are  British students being set up for a fall?

Isn't it a coincidence that we've just had student riots? And aren't students the very people who are likely to protest against government?

Aren't we witnessing the setting up of students so that the government can clamp down on them?
