La Grande Intifada: The Ides of March The Collapse of Civilisation

Bonus Celebrity Guest Post!

Just remember, there are things we don't know that we don't know. 

These things are called unknown unknowns, not just unknowns.

And if the things we don't know ever decide to get us, we'll all be in the shit and the world will come to an end.

Our only hope for peace and democracy and what we absolutely have to do no matter how much the liberals complain, is torture all the Arabs and everyone else until we find out what we don't know.

I stand for 10-12 hours in my office each day.

If I can do that to protect my country then the least some terrorist can do is be strung up, given electric shocks, suffocated and told that their family are or will be tortured and killed, so we can gather valuable information in the war on terror.

Now that's fair and if the American people don't think so and I have to resign so a different oily puppet can feed them the same shit, so be it. 

But I was and still am right.

We are winning the war on terror and the war in Iraq Afghanistan.

It's just going to take a few more generations.

But one day the people will look back and realise: they just didn't understand and I was right all along.

And when that day comes, I will gloat. 

   

 

Of course, I'll be too busy finding out the current unknown unknowns at that time and torturing people to keep them safe and secure and when I finally go to meet Jesus, he and all the people of the world will speak with a single voice, in chorus.

Rumsfeld, they'll say, you were right.

So this is what He meant by Change

The Obama worth hoping for -



"I am a big believer in openness when it comes to the flow of information. I believe the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes"

"I have always been a strong supporter of open internet use, I am a big supporter on non censorship ... I can tell you that in the United States, the fact that we have free internet — or unrestricted internet access is a source of strength, and I think should be encouraged."

But will the real Obama please stand up

What dead dolphins?

Not like it's important information at a time when BP is petitioning to start drilling again. Or are they? Well according to Fox News "There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that there is some agreement with BP", so it must be true! Perhaps this is why we need THE FACTS BARRY!!

Bahrain what now?

Why people in a free democracy would need to know their foreign policy terrorist overlords have invaded a sovereign nation and are committing atrocities is beyond me.

Internet Schminternet

Hey, once we've banned all reporting on important information who needs the internet anymore?

So by Change He didn't mean the system He meant Him ... ah yes, change we can believe in ...

I know I know, this is fish in a barrel stuff for a TDA post but it is sometimes important to remind ourselves ... so when that horrible feeling rises in the guts every now and again that the world is screwed and every BASTARD in prominent positions is just LYING at you ... that you know you are right ... that you keep up the good fight.

[sparx says: CHAINS, Ferretous. He said CHAINS we can believe in. Make more sense now?]

[Ferretous says: or as Jon Stewart put it "What he meant was Ch-Ange - that's Kenyan for "much of the same" ... ... wrong but quite funny all the same]

Inside Job - Forget Werewolves and Vampires, this Horror is pure Wall Street!!

Time to crack open the popcorn and hotdogs and remind ourselves why Lloyd Blankfein deserves $18M a year, or twice last years pay, for a job well done earning Goldman Sachs 38% less this year

The Movie which ZeroHedge calls "the scariest Wall Street "horror movie" ever produced" - watch Charles Ferguson's run down of the GFC

"INSIDE JOB"

Enjoy!! Embedded below or download here (may get taken down)

How one and a half hours can reingite a fury not felt for a year! There has been so much going on in the last couple of years and then over the last 10 before that, you can get a bit numb to it. Yes perhaps I was suffering from some form of Black Swan Fatigue. But I feel soooooo mmmaaaaaaaadddddd again after watching that movie that I have veins popping out my head (#atnotreallybutforeffect). Awesome stuff Charles Ferguson ... you have earned yourself the position of my second favourite Ferguson after this guy ...

But just to be slightly critical he missed out on properly explaining the insidious nature of the fraud. The money/paper trail between borrower and ultimate lender or the lack thereof. When the "CDOs failed" (I don’t believe it is that straight forward) they were written down to nothing for your regular punter like the Norwegian village pension fund. But this can’t be right can it? In the case of the Lehmans CDOs forced, at times unwillingly, on to councils and charities across Australia, they were backed by US Mortgage Securities. Or were they? No. If they were then you know what, I’d be flying over to the US to take possession of my assets if I was left holding one of those pieces of shit ... sorry “shitty deals”

Okay so something is missing here. What happened to the assets in the CDO? Who got them? Who owns them now?

The JPM CDO handbook from 2001 hints at why no-one gets it ... the third bloody page and you are already confused by the line “the CDO sells the CDOs” ... huh? Okay well a little thought and that is easy enough to move on from ... but this is part of the problem, since no-one really understood what they were buying the banksters were able to completely screw everyone from every direction and still are.

The GFC was fraud on the galactic scale ... the set up through dodgy deregulation lobbying, the pushing of shit loans onto ignorant punters, the financial alchemy of repackaging shit into AAA debt, the knowledge that this stuff was shit but the pushing of the shit onto trusting others, the betting against these shitty deals, the purposeful destruction of Lehmans, the TARP bail-out, the big screw you to everyone outside the banking industry left holding CDOs, the theft of the CDO assets, and on and on and on ... and then ForeclosureGate ... either the bastards know who owns the assets and can therefore transfer assets to the holders of the (apparently worthless) CDOs or they have no right whatsoever to those properties they are foreclosing on ...

If they don’t know where the title lies then 1) they have simply stolen their bonuses and pay from the shareholders as they were not doing their jobs in the slightest 2) they need to go to jail under market disclosure laws 3) they need to go to jail for accounting fraud 4) they need to go to jail for tax fraud 5) they need their heads cut off.

Hank Paulson knew EXACTLY what was going on as he was head of Goldman Sachs when they came up with their schemes. Hank Paulson knew he and his mates were the main beneficiary of the TARP bailout. Hank Paulson has elephantitis balls. Hank Paulson must be hanged.

Number of people in jail - ZERO

Now that is one shitty deal!!

Radiation Update 3: Fucked Up Shima

Okay so things are going really poorly now. To start with the good news for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere is that levels are holding normal for us down south (at least over Melbourne Australia for now):



For those of you reading this in the Northern Hemisphere dont take this as a welcome sign that there is somewhere you can flee too. Dont forget this IS Australia. We will shoot at you and lock you in torture camps if you turn up on our shores as 'refugees' from this nightmare.

As far as the Northern Hemisphere goes we have noticed wildly oscilating readings now on the Californian live feed we have been tracking. Not good. Some sort of event is going on. Lets just hope those living on the West Coast of America are smart enough to be taking precautions and not wandering out to their deaths like the fishermen of Louisiana did with their Corexit party last year.

This uptick in activity is probably due to the uptick in activity in Japan itself. Somehow even as the Dai-ichi mess gets worse now a second plant has begun to show signs of strife. The Fukushima Daini plant was showing smoke over its reactor one turbine house. Which leads us to ask What the FUCK?? Didnt you switch that thing off the other week as you evacuated the thing?? What are these monkeys up to??

So by my count we have Four Reactors at the Dai-ichi plant in strife and at least one in strife at the Daini plant leading to a total of FIVE reactors going spastic at the moment. When we compare this to the single reactor out of the Four Reactor Chernobyl plant that caused all that mayhem in the 80's we surely have some serious shit on our hands?? Although apparently not its only Farts we are dealing with:



What a load of bollocks. We even today had the admission from the IAEA that in at least one of the Reactors at Dai-ichi as it Meltsdown we may acheive Nuclear Fission begining again. So called Recriticality. But hang on dont those control rods shut that sort of thing down?? I dont know enough about the process so if any Physicists or Al Queda are reading this perhaps you can jump on the comments and enlighten us as to how the nuclear process works.

Another intriguing query has also arisen now that reports raw Plutonium has been found outside the plant arise. If the spent fuel rod pools in some of the complexs sit in the upper parts of the building then how on earth did they survive the blast that ripped through some of them:



How did the rods themselves not become projectiles shot like missiles out of this explosion?? An interesting in depth analysis of this possibility can be found here.

Aside from the technical aspects of what must now surely be viewed as a completely apocalyptic scenario (STOP telling us its safe you bastards!!) this once more shows the interesting socio-political aspects of the fact that we are now completely under Corporate occupation around the World. It is astounding that this whole recovery effort has been under the control of the PRIVATE COMPANY (TEPCO) that owns the reactor. Surely in an event so serious the whole thing should have immediately been occupied by Government forces and the process of handling the disaster shifted to a Government response? But of course it was not in our new modern world of disaster. And of course the Private Company made decisions based NOT on the best interests of Japan or the world but on their profit margin.

Yesterday the head of company announced that four of the Reactors would be decommissioned now at the plant: "Looking at current conditions, I have to say there are no options other than decommissioning reactors 1-4," Tsunehisa Katsumata said.

Wait so only NOW weeks later has decomissioning been considered?? The minute they started blowing up shouldnt this have been a shut down and decomissioning project?? Apparently not. So it seems all along they were trying to save the reactors and minimise damage so they could CONTINUE TO USE THEM!!!!!! No wonder its been such a slow and painstaking process. The things are dangerous radiation emitting planet killers at this point. Dont hold back do whatever you have to to destroy the things safely!!! But no in the interests of TEPCO's profit they were trying to save and restore them!!!

This is exactly what we witnessed last year when BP somehow got jurisidiction over the entire Gulf Of Mexico and was allowed to go on its private rampage of a genocide and ecocide spree with the US government subservient to the whole thing even though supposedly it was on THEIR sovereign territory. And for all those who claimed that the numerous predictions of a Corexit apocalypse were wrong and thus the event was a big splashy nothing (you know who you are) turns out your WRONG!! These things just sometimes take time to fully eventuate.

[HappyAppleStarlight says: No not the Dolphins!!! Why haven't the Space Dolphins come down to save them?]


So really moving forward the Governments of the world need to F^%KING DO THEIR JOB and actually declare war on the Corporations for the good of the populations they supposedly represent. If they dont then they are pointless and their is no need for a Government at all. All you fat cat Parlimentarians and Congressmen can F^&K OFF to Fukushima for the rest of your natural lives. Which apparently should be greatly increased by the wonderful benefits of living in a radiation zone according to your own theories. Enjoy mofos!!!!!!

A Brief Historical Interlude, To Clear The Palate

BUSH: "American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free it's people and to defend the world from grave danger." March 19, 2003 [1]

[Ferretous says: lol, in Hicks' day when you win the presidency "you go into this smokey room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum fucks who got you in there ... and this little film screen comes down ... and its a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before" ... in our time you meet the "twelve industrliaist capitalist scum fucks" prior to getting elected and then once in someone takes Air Force One for a low altitude spin over Ground Zero in New York]

OBAMA: "Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world." March 19, 2011 [2]

[WhiteyRound Eye says: I noticed with interest the date they launched this. The Pentagon loves their symbology in the use of dates. Why did they not wait one extra day to begin the air strikes?? They had waited so long as it was. It really would not have altered materially what has since transpired on the ground. But no they chose to launch the strike dead on the same day as the Iraq mess began. Bastards. Also on Bill Hicks' note on the fact we are getting fucked in the ass it brings to mind some classic scenes we saw in Brussels the other day as Belgium was also rocked by massive anti Austerity riots in the recent days:]

La Grande Intifada: The Media Is Psychotic

Here is a small roundup of the Media coverage of the London Intifada.
