thank you very much for your link to the “Global Europe Anticipation Bulletin”.

As I mentioned before having believed for a long time, from the ’sociological’ perspective, that things had to go ‘ass up’, and then to find the likes of our home grown Steve Keen, the US’s Peter Schiff (and others)put all the flesh and detailed explanation in forecasts dating back a number of years, has been a fantastic revelation.

This site for which ‘GSM’ provided the link is yet another fantastic resource with a great deal of detail and apparently very accurate running forecasts back to 2006 and earlier.

I do not have a spare €200’s for a subscription and am more than happy with Steve’s very excellent postings, forecasting and proposed papers on the correct structure for future systems, along with some very informative postings by fellows to the site.

I remain stunned notwithstanding the very few
‘coming outs’ among journalists and for the life of me I cannot understand, how ‘the people in power’, governments, business, regulartory bodies etc – someone, anyone, even the middle level office boy – hasn’t twigged and began work to shine a light in the dark ivory towers.

It is not quite so surprising to me, Given that I have always subscribed to the belief that at least 85% of the population are politically ignorant and bereft of any interest to read, research and learn the truth, not only of what is going on in the world around them, but how it is being powered and manipulated.

So we have Kevin and Wayne et al, feeding out just the sort of remedy the plebs are looking for : – “here go and spend some money” whilst no doubt behind-the-scenes, saying to oneanother in the Ivory Castle, “yes this is definitely the way to go, we do not want to spook the peasants with the truth (about which we don’t have much flamin idea in any event) and because Australia is ’special’ we will be somewhat protected from all of this ‘passing nastiness’ and have a ’soft landing’”

It is all simply so incredible – it is almost surreal.

We all need a good laugh eh?

Just the right touch of the surreal, and harking back to a time when banks were banks and existed to serve the real economy, not prey upon it.

… Living in the wasteland of the free…

We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ’s disciples
but they don’t look like Jesus to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don’t tell me they don’t turn around and kiss them peoples’ ass
You may call me old-fashioned
but that don’t fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got CEO’s making two hundred times the workers’ pay
but they’ll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don’t like it, mister, they’ll ship your job
to some third-world country ‘cross the sea
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let’s blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization
that sounds like crap to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got high-school kids running ’round in Calvin Klein and Guess
who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test
but if you ask them, they can tell you
the name of every crotch on mTV
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin
but he’s standing up for what he believes in
and that seems pretty damned American to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let’s blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

While we sit gloating in our greatness
justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free
