  1. @Danny, personally I think its all lip service Eircom can’t afford to lose customers.

    Pity Enda Kenny is such a thick, I was listening to the radio when he made his uncosted good bank statement, woeful, all he had to do when asked had the project being costed was to answer it didn’t matter it would be cheaper just by virtue of not giving the banks the money there looking for, it really showed him up for the gobshite he is.

    Is it true ghosts with bad eyesight wear spooktacles…

  2. If Income Tax was zero then unemployment would be zero.
    —————————————————————————————
    The government are the creators and maintain unemployment. Unemployment is by product of government.

    MPs are recruited from the unemployed and unemployable anyway, just create many MPs lol They know how to claim benefits!

    Indeed gov’s like a certain amount of unemployment, keeps the wages low.

    It was so surreal in the Netherlands cause we had the lowest unemployment rate EVER just a month before this crises started! They were even afraid for expolding wages. This shows the absurdity of this planned crises.

    Dutch gov. expects the employment to go near 10%.

    Kenny is definately a gobshite – but I like Richard Bruton, but I should probably know better…

    Quite the kicker article in the NYTimes, the next year in review:
    For the first time in almost 20 years, the Fed may soon have to make unpopular decisions that raise the cost of borrowing even when the economy still feels weak. It has already decided it must tolerate high unemployment, which the Obama administration said Monday would exceed 10 percent, through at least the end of next year. It is already phasing out smaller programs to provide emergency credit, and will have to decide when to scale back bigger ones.
    At some point next year, the Fed may well need to raise interest rates — possibly rapidly and sharply, given how far it cut them last year — and in the process raise the cost of things like credit cards, mortgages and business loans…
    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/business/economy/26fed.html?_r=1&hp

    Writer neglects to mention the insolvent banking system; the commercial real estate collapse and CIT bankruptcy, collapsing treasury market, and escalating war costs. The FED has to tolerate high unemployment? The result of the Fed’s stringent policy is reported to be:
    “Any or all of those actions will probably restrain economic growth and keep unemployment rates high…”
    And LOOK! The NY Times is reporting on the audit of the Fed:
    “At the same time, the Fed’s political critics are multiplying. A bill sponsored by Representative Ron Paul, Republican of Texas, would empower the Government Accountability Office to “audit” the Fed’s decisions on interest rates. Mr. Bernanke and other Fed officials have warned that that would damage the Fed’s independence. Still, the measure has been signed by more than 250 lawmakers in both parties.”
    (happy times ahead)
    “And the Bernanke Fed may want to head off inflation — before it is too late.”

  11. This socialist “job” culture is pathetic, why don’t folk focus on creating value.
    Isn’t that what folk pay for!
    I remember about five years ago,I noticed a gang of Polish guys/gals start up a
    car valeting service next to a DIY store in the car park. Always qued up.
    Doesn’t take a lot of savvy, there are plenty of ways to create value for money.
    The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few,
    and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80%
    of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Maybe why most folk prefer the idea
    of socialism, they expect 20% percent of the population to look after them,and
    to cap it all, they think it’s their “right”!!

    I don’t drive either. I’d be happy enough now with a little scooter to be honest, a nice classic vespa or something. Gonna get screwed on oil/petrol soon enough anyway. We’ll see. If you can afford it, do it, if you need it. Otherwise, keep it under the matress!

    Definately go to Dun Laoighre if you haven’t been to the festival before. Its class. My trip up with 2 friends looks doubtful now ‘cos our ‘gaff’ in maynooth (friend of a friends) has suddenly become unavailable. What a dose. But if we manage to get up I’ll leave a messege on these boards.

    D’know about NAMA, the public seems to be slowly waking up to it. Seems to be alot of opposition from FF backbenchers too so fingers crossed. Reading David Murphy’s ‘Banksters’ at the moment – its unbelievable the shit that went on!

    The German TV Program I mentioned yesterday also criticized the auto industry. I didn’t know that in fact Ferdinand Porsche invented an Electro Motor early 1900s.

  26. @Phil

    Just wrote on some blog about how the Oil &Car lobby deludes us in thinking that it’s technicaly not possible yet and drives us in the direction of the hybrid car. They know that they will lose their control grid if we gonna use the electric car ride away which is perfectly possible.

    There are even payed lobbyist on the internet to keep this hoax in place cause after I wrote this immediately some article came out in which they explained that it all isn’t possible yada…yada.. especially not for trucks, they stated cause electric motors supose to be to weak. That’s utterly and completely BS cause the biggest Trucks in the world use electric motors! Do your research.

    But since a electric car has vew parts in it and doesn’t use oil and gasoline the oil & car lobby wants to delude us from this idea and puts us on this hybred car idea.

    But Biofuel causes food shortages already and the aditives to make it possible to burn this fuel in our combustion engines harm the environment but they give a damn about that.

    It’s all money and propaganda in which they invest a great deal also to influence our dumb gov’s. A Asian guy already had the idea of loading the batteries of the car standing for a traffic light or on a parking place just the same your electric tooth brush gets reloaded without any wires. FLUX!

    Apparently, Geithner said that a Fed audit would be “crossing a line we don’t want to cross.” and he was asked about his tax evasion…

    But no video is on the Prison Planet site:
    http://www.prisonplanet.com/geithner-auditing-the-fed-is-a-line-that-we-dont-want-to-cross.html

    And he probably lied about the tax evasion thingy since he already testified about IMF employees before Congress..

    The ptb are using the right to push through the Fed audit, just like the left was used in the Yes we can campaign.

    I WILL precipitate collapse. What happens then; will the right who asked for the audit be labeled extremists and be scapegoated?

    The audit is by design of the BIS: they wanted it since December 2008.

    Testimony by Timothy Geinther:

    “Most countries in the world impose tax on the worldwide income of individuals on a residence, rather than citizenship, basis. Thus, non-U.S. nationals employed by the Fund outside of their home countries generally do not pay home country income tax on their Fund incomes. However, the United States taxes its citizens regardless of where they are resident; U.S. staff of the Fund are taxed by the United States on their Fund income regardless of where they are located. Arrangements have been made to reimburse employees for income taxes paid to their home countries to put them on an equal footing with staff who do not have to pay home country tax. Of IMF tax reimbursements, 99.5% go to U.S. staff. These reimbursements represent a transfer from the IMF to the U.S. Treasury. In the absence of tax reimbursement, the actual after-tax Fund income of U.S. staff would fall well below both the pay of other IMF staff (that is not taxed) and the after-tax pay of employees in the U.S. public and private sectors. In such circumstances, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for the Fund to recruit or retain well qualified U.S. staff.”

    What will happen is what Max described they will pull out their fraudulent Kiekeboe accounting card and load it with sudden debts. They already threatened congress with this, that it would collapse the FED.

    They whole protecting customers argument, that people gonna redraw money from their account is utterly nonsense.

    Does this Geithner realy believes in his own bs story or is he a slick lieing actor? It seems he realy believes in his own nonsense. The best lieers are the ones who realy believe in their own lies.

    @Youri:

    Haven’t you noticed how much Geithner resembles Pinnochio? Of course he lying; he stated that Rubin is a great statesman! Rubin team-tagged Russian with Summers!

    The Fed audit movement is just as co-opted as the town hall protests. Americans don’t seem able to think for themselves. If the Fed is insolvent, which of course if it, we go the way of Iceland and the IMF will sort our sh*t.

    BTW: note how Geithner doesn’t say he worked for the IMF. He stumbles over that and says he was a ‘public servant’. Geithner doesn’t want any connection made between himself, the Treasury, of the IMF.

    If you want a story, Youri, look into the US Treasury. Is there one? Why didn’t Obama appoint any positions? How transparent is the Treasury? Why does the IRS lie and say they are part of the Treasury when the IRS is a private corporation?

    Why do you care about the Fed audit, Youri? Aren’t you Dutch?

  41. frances snoot

    Geithner doesn’t mention that the Tarp agreement means the Treasury has a 700B line of credit with the US taxpayers: perpetual pauper– we were sold. That ribald rot about making an investment return on the GS loan is classic.

  44. frances snoot

    @Youri:
    The 700B dollar sum is a LINE OF CREDIT. Perpetual.

    If the Fed is audited and declared insolvent, what then? Do they deliver the power to coin and control interest to Congress as the Constitution allows?

    Is there an answer to this question? What does Ron Paul say? Where do we direct the power: to Congress or to the “Treasury”…

  45. frances snoot

    @Youri:
    I’m asking because Bob Chapman wants the power turned over to the Treasury. I stopped reading Bob’s works and listening to his broadcasts when I heard that: and he’s so thick with Alex Jones.

    Geithner doesn’t care about the American people, but he’s a very good liar. We pay our tax to a private bank through a ficticious entity called the US Treasury. Congress has been serving the Fed Reserve, now Congress is set to serve the IMF/BIS.

    We become constituents of Congress if the power to mint coin is delivered to the Congress. Paul has said this, but where is the addendum on the Fed audit bill? The movement to end the Fed should begin only with a transfer of power to mint coin and control interest from Fed to Congress, not an audit.

    The Patriot movement is made up of loose cannon types with guns for balls.

    The FED is as federal as Federal Express. It’s a private organisation controlled by 14 families, the NWO scum. In fact the FED is in contradiction with the US constitution so strictly speaking, illegal.

    Auditing the FED is a quest for more transparency normal in every democarcy especially when loads of taxpayers money gets involved.

    In my opnion the gov. has to completely take over Goldman Sachs and other brotherhoods in crime including the Cayman Islands runnaway CIA blackwater wash banks and the FED ofcause and let the capable honest banks take over these accounts to start from scratch. Wipe away the Derivatives and seize all instruments of self destruction like Naked shortselling for instance. Financial disarmement mentioned by John Maynard Keynes in the 1940s.

    Reverse the 1999 Repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act that separated commercial from investment banking by the Clinton Administration. Reverse the 2000 Derivatives and credit default swaps were excluded from regulation. Most important Reverse the 2004 The greatest mistake setting aside capital requirements by exempting the investment banks from maintaining reserves to cover losses on investments engineered and this allowed the investment banks to: Leverage financial instruments beyond any bounds of prudence.

    Stop the expensive wars and bailouts and begin a new moral based foreign policy based on prosperity instead of massive destruction.
