Money, money, it's just so funny....Not

Just in case you thought everything was great then you have not heard the latest wonderful news from the US? Their debt ceiling might have to be £30+ trillion dollars? Eh? That is thirty million million million dollars. Excuse me, who is running that show? $30,000,000,000,000,000,000 debt. Well, that puts my own debt with the bank in some perspective. Just wondering what the US banks charge for all of that? It’s just mind boggling. What is more worrying is this – when such a ceiling will collapse, as it will, then what? We are always talking about how wonderful it is to live in a free world but is it really free when we are shackled by such debt? It is not just the US, Europe is just the same, in fact all countries seem to be burdened with debt. So, a good question to ask is who pays for all of that? Well, in a way it is you and me. We might save some money in some sort of a savings account (if we are lucky!) and the savings banks and others will invest that in government bonds hoovering up some interest. For now it makes sense but as we see it can just get to be a type of self-destruct button. Governments just cannot seem to be able to control their budgets. Obviously not everyone is a financial wizard but you would have thought that those who put themselves forward for government know at least the rudimentary rules of money. The way it moves. If we look back at 1929 when people just lost all sense, borrowed money to buy stocks in the hope of making a quick profit and then it just takes one player or so to issue a warning and when people then lose their courage all hell will break loose. 

Similarly today, to finance all the governmental borrowing, stocks like bonds have been issued, billions or even trillions of them. Obviously, these earn interest but investors can sell them. See the correlation? On top of all that the economic outlook also is not too bright. When you read reports that BT (British Telecoms) is planning to shed 55,000 jobs by the end of this decade, one needs to start worrying! All due it said, to AI (Artificial Intelligence). OK, if that is the case they will not be the only industry who will shed jobs. The point is this – are our elected nimbys (MPs) actually aware of these impending disasters? Probably not, they are too busy trying to figure out what a woman is. 

When ordinary secondary schools are forced to have unisex toilets that must not show ‘male’ or ‘female’ indications then I want to check the availability of a one way ticket to the Mars colony – when it is built. It is no wonder that the suicide rate of young people is increasing. In my own backyard in the Rhondda Valley we have heard recently of three, all happening without known reasons. This sort of thing was unheard of in past times. I would say to parents generally, ensure your children will be of a good standard of education. Be aware of what is actually happening in the world. Don’t listen to the inane ramblings of politicians or even take the news reports too seriously. There is just too much fake stuff around as well as propaganda. So be careful, the crocodiles and tigers are circling. It is the Wild West out there.

Where are the aliens?

  The question and Answer software called ‘Quora’ had some quite interesting debate about aliens. I am bowled over by how many, and some are quite educated, believe in aliens. Particularly that they have been here and not just that, are still here and doing great intelligent things like making crop circles. I have to be honest here and say that yes there are aliens except we will never see or hear them. As probability will tell you that with trillions of galaxies, having billions of stars the likelihood of other life is near to 100%. The problem is that life such as ours on Earth needs to move but in such a way as is possible on Earth. That is to say, a gravity of 1, oxygen to breathe and food of a kind that is digestible. The next thing to consider is movement, meaning star travel. It is pretty clear that life such as on Earth is not really around in our solar system. We might find some microbes but that’s about it . The distances between the star systems even

Is there such a thing as mind-control?

One of my favourite author’s Scott Mariani. Writing explosive stories with the great character he created, Benedict Hope. The latest gung-ho story called The Moscow Cipher actually highlights one of the things that has bothered a lot of people. That of mind-control. I’ve wondered about that as well since even in this country that is a process carried out. It is not a bloody affair as depicted in the book but nevertheless computers, the power of the chip has made it so much easier to influence the minds of the general public. Fake news, little bits of untruths here and there. No hesitation in deluding the general public. Just read, listen and make your mind up. All done in the name of “the truth would harm us all”. But will it? . We have smart phones. With chips that know where we are, what we do and what we say. And yes, it is logged somewhere. We have been rail-roaded into using Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. Google knows more about you than the taxman or even your partner and that

Is humanity performing euthanasia on itself?

Looking at the happenings in the Middle East I wonder how suddenly Hamas, i.e the de-facto army of the so-called Palestinian state, took it upon themselves to invade Israel. It cannot be a coincidence that Russia needed some pressures, not in Ukraine but somewhere else to take away the limelight on them. W here better than the Middle East. I am virtually certain that one way or another there are political shenanigans afoot. What IS Palestine exactly? I know about Bedouins, Arabs and Jews, are these not all one and the same? Sure, there are different religions but if you look very closely there are great similarities. It is stupid of most of us not to notice but three of the most followed religions are all based on the same precedents. So w here does the term Palestine come from, I might ask. There was the Ottoman empire, and prior to that the Roman. Prior to that Alexander rampaged through the area. Prior to that we had Egyptians, Hittites and God knows what else. Even monkeys held sw
