					<description><![CDATA[You crossed a very bad line when gloating over Mrs Thatchers death.  I understand your utter disdain and even hatred for her decisions and policies, and you are well in your rights to directly state why you thoroughly despise her political legacy.  Your public glee at her death demeans you and your message.  You come across as exactly the kind of non-empathetic, self-righteous, and narcissistic person that you appear to blast Thatcher for being.  Shame on you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The biggest road block is protectionism. Its result is virtual slavery:

MELT - Regulators are our nemesis.

http://gco2e.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/melt-regulators-are-our-nemesis.html

This may come as a shock to some who are not seeking knowledge of life, and then wealth. Good, that is the intention. To wake them up. Particularly the regulators.

They will say:

&quot;Surely enterprise needs protection from the scammers?&quot;

But this presumes we are not trading within a free market on a level playing field. What a preposterous idea.

And worse, it presumes freedom is not the natural order of things. That we are virtual slaves needing the protection of a master in order to remain above water. What a dark and offensive thing.

Worst of all, it suggests that protectionism is the mode of trade and exchange that has the greatest power to produce wealth.

Clearly protection requires force of government regulators, and that has a definite associated cost which requires taxation to pay for.

And taxation on trade means a certain road block standing in the way of trade. Less trade will be the outcome for the same inputs of work.

And then, who actually benefits from this protection the most? The hard working, skilful and industrious entrepreneur and startup. Or the giant monopoly powers where nothing happens?

Who is most able to hold out to these dead weight costs, all else being equal: the small startup, or the giant corporation? And is that a level playing field, where all players get equal protection?

Of course, the most heinous crime of the regulator is to protect those who produce the least. And to punish those who produce the most.

All under a veil of &#039;helping&#039;, &#039;charity&#039;, &#039;rising wages&#039;, &#039;capital formation&#039;. Regulatory protection is an enormous lie, looking after idle scroungers, damaging the economy and its noble and genuine producers.

Real trade and exchange does not need protection. It needs freedom. It needs government to get well out of the way. It only needs government to do everything it can to secure equal rights, no more, no less. As soon as government does more than this, it has started to fail in its first duty.

MELT intention is to grow so large, we will eventually be able to so easily influence government, and rid the world of these parasitical regulators.

Trust us on this. We are bold and not intimidated by anyone. This is a call out to the Financial Services Authority and its new offshoots doing yet more damage to the country:

&quot;Get Yourselves ready for a mighty battle&quot;]]></description>

That article demonstrates very well the scariest thing about this whole situation: while the central bankers and politicians of the west can continue prolonging the charade as long as they like ( by robbing their populations to replace the bogus collateral of the bankers) there is absolutely no give in the system for extreme events.

Another liquidity crisis, a sovereign default, another twin towers - anything that prompts another flight to quality - will bring the whole thing crashing down. And then it&#039;s anyone&#039;s guess as to what will happen.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Second rate but dangerous politicos are grasping at various Malthusian straws so as to justify the extraction of labour value.

They fail to convey the point that we are at a Malthusian endgame precisely because of their credit / &quot;asset&quot; creation games

The similarity between Dublins 1913 lockout and today is getting ever closer.
Indeed that was a result of deep undercurrents in a Anglo money scheme which broke up entirely a year later.

For example attacking bus drivers pay and claiming their state company model is not sustainable when Ireland has gone from 800, 000  private cars on the road to 1.8 million since 1990 seems to have missed his fat fucking head.

The mindless destruction of physical systems to extract a yield off the money supply knows no bounds.

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/former-taoiseach-urges-public-to-tighten-their-belts-in-attack-on-president-29258292.html

Talking about land scarcity and therefore possible food for export is very dangerous ground to be tramping on in Ireland.......yet they seem to be able to push without any pushback.

We are dealing with  treachery &#038; avarice on a scale most normal people fail to get their little heads around.

PS This guy was one of the first to benefit from the Euro experiment.

Like all large farmers he was paid off first.
These little and large men can be bought for 30 pieces of silver]]></description>

More support for Pilger fanboys. 

P.G.Roberts, describing (11 May)  Ron Unz of American Conservative website:

 &quot; .. Unz’s view of the US media as propagandists for power is consistent with that of John Pilger, one of the last remaining real journalists who refuses to serve power ..&quot;

It&#039;s a good read.

&quot;Unz .. tells the story of Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky’s plan to transform Russia into a make-believe two-party state complete with heated battles fought on divisive and symbolic issues. 

Behind the scenes the political elites would orchestrate the political battles between the parties with the purpose of keeping the population divided and funneling popular dissatisfaction into meaningless dead-end issues. In such a system, self-serving power prevails. 

After describing Berezovsky’s plot, Unz asks if Berezovsky got his idea from observing the American political scene.&quot;

On attacking Iraq for 9/11, Unz reflects (../articles/our-american-pravda): &quot;Consider how bizarre the history of the 1940s would seem if America had attacked China in retaliation for Pearl Harbor.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What are we to make of the EU legislation tabled on Monday 6 May, which apparently aims to outlaw the use, trade, saving etc of unauthorised seeds? It is very alarming to think that the EU may be giving in to the demands of biotech corporations in order to effectively privatise our food supply. More than ever, gardening seems like a revolutionary act. Dig for victory!

Plus, why so little coverage in the MSM? Rhetorical question, I suppose.
