Talking of suspending reality - it seems rudimentary maths
- and common sense
- has been suspended too

I like this guy - he's australian - no nonsense or.. beating about the bush
(excuse pun - and/or unless you have a boomerang with you)

Like the Tom Cruise Film "Cocktails" - Grant Wlliams is very much in the "Coughlins Laws" style...e.g

"if it makes no sense, ....it is nonsense"

A Few Examples

Problem 1:
If the global economy is stalling, Europe is in recession, China is slowing and growth is seemingly impossible to generate,
- what are equity markets doing at .....all-time highs?




Problem 2:
If Chinese manufacturing has stalled, demand for raw materials is slumping, imports and exports are declining, and Chinese power consumption is falling,
- how is China's GDP growing.... at 7.7%




Problem 3
Well lets just look at...France




Couple of his classics as nightcaps

Problem 4: If honesty is the best policy,
- then is dishonest...... the second best policy?

Problem 5: If there were no sponges living in the oceans,
- would the oceans be deeper?

I won't spoil the rest of the great content (& style)

Enjoy !

Re the gut sense of....
- Personally i think it's just - when
- And in the famous line in the film GhostBusters....."what form the Destroyer will take"
(Although I have pretty much discounted "The Puff Pastry Man")

The toally "unforseen" ..financial Black swans ...are already in final planning stages
(Luxembourg - 97.5 % bail ins - plus progress report from FSB to G8 on progress of Global Cross Border - Template - re Too Big To Fails Going Down etc).

They don't want a mass wake up of snoozers - so probably - "softly softly (taps with ...a rather large 'ammer)... catchy monkey" method... will probably continue.

EG - Iceland takedown didn't quite go to plan (lessons learned ...an all)
- but Ireland got a full blitzing, Greece went well, Cyprus...even better and so on.

The Ducks are all being lined up in the M/East - for a proxy session out there.

Ultimately the well funded armed2teeth state - promised by TPTB in WWI for bringing the yanks in, and fulfilled in round II - is actually Khazars - not the chosen lot.

Hence - if needed - in a grand finale
- sacrificeable against the other lot - who can be hot headed and still wander about with automatic hardware
- tribal - and therefore a threat, if they ever got the nouse to spot the - real bad guys.

Natural events ??
- Well they built all those friggin great bunkers (under the auspices of...the cold war) for a reason.
- The land of the wonderful knife - with even a gadget for getting boy scouts out of horses hooves - has enough bunkers for....it's whole popuation
- Russia had a deadline for an extra 5,000 bunkers by 2013
(and all those extras - were just....around Moscow)
- Vaccine Bill G - is stashing art, rare photos & negatives in a room in... a nice - little very deep number.
- The (privately owned) Norway underground "seed vault" is being stocked with all the seeds they can cram in there (strangely enough all - non GMO :o)

So answers on a postcard re....... that (and...I've kept it short)....little lot.

Sundry
Comet ISON is on it's way thro the inner solar system - handy they have their little trundler up there as it makes a close pass by mars (Oct-ish if I remember correctly)
- most spectacular comet since "the great comet" of 18..whenever
- depending on what you read
- as bright as a full moon (and some say up to x times brighter)
- a tail that will stretch between a 1/4 and... half way accross the night sky
- possibly even visible in daylight
- heading thro.. here abouts.. late autumn(ish)
- then onwards round the sun (at which time coud break up and give us ...somewhat fun meteor showers of debris)
- if not - then back on out past - these 'ere part in early 2014 for - another show.

Bright and spectacular with a stonkin great tail of....? & allegedly just a large - dirty snowball
(losing that length of tails worth of...ice..one might have thought.. at that rate it might have...run out of icy bits by now...but hey ho)

Millions of miles away of couse so...should just be a pretty light show...for a few ..months.
(all just from memory)

(Update - As above recollection - this is a ...non - foil hat - version - in link :o)

http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/space/stories/christmas-miracle-comet-could-be-as-bright-as-the-full-moon

So taking my last 3 posts together - as I said I think it's just when &.....in what form.

In the meantime - all reality, maths, economics & common sense suspended.
Kick all those cans down the road and....
- give the sheeple the mushroom treatment (keep 'em in the dark and just keeping feeding them the sh!te).


Well as it's a big picture late night musing I think that's enough so
- I'll cut things short at that...and have an hours wanderings of ..more of the big picture stuff, before bed.

Gaz - thanks for that. I've watched 2012 twice. I don't have a billion dollar ticket for the Ark :-(

I've always viewed the world as oval & thought I'd never want to see the poles.

Middle East is going through vast changes driven by the aspirations to become middle class. It will all be lovely when complete.......

As for getting home - I'm sure we'll be back & then wondering if we stayed here long enough as money shrinks fast when you stop earning it.

The UK financial system houses many wealthy folk so I'd be surprised to see a grab on savers/depositorsala Cyprus style. Besides that was more about our Russian enemies than anything else. Silly cypriots for allowing it in the first place.

Cash in a metal box will be safe from turmites but won't be worth as much each time you go to it to get the weekly shopping spends.

To sell a silver coin once a week might be the only inflation hedge to get the food in.

Clearly if banks are to further increase their capital then they can only do that by offering sweeter interest rates. Which will of course bring their requirements in line with last weeks report.

Silver - The physical price paid for the hard stuff has already disconnected from the paper pos.

Perhaps I should get a chart up showing how much silver ounces are from dealers?

Gold - genuine question this - how much has Assad got & who will soak it up?

Some good stuff there Gaz!!

Memories of Hale Bopp springs to mind. It was an amazing sight on a clear night. He had a beautiful long tingly tail. He seemed to be around for quite some time.

At that time I used to live on top of a hill so could see for miles and boy did he brighten up my evenings

Now if bankers start losing their pensions for failing their customers & shareholders that would indeed make the public happy.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but these links won't work for me.

Anyway the thing that I've tried and failed to post is on the gold thread, posted by Cassini and a very good listen.

Mabel - your link seems to end up asa 404 error.

The link above works but I haven't managed to figure out how to embed video - Gaz may be able to help.

We seem to have a female Farage - gulp!

I didn't click on the thing, but assumed that when it came up blue, it must have worked.

I can see that this link business is still 'work in progress' for me then.

Interesting video gaz, good on her!

GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

What a refreshing video.
Can we have more of this please?.........lots more!!

Sorry not video
- but a report from "The Irish Independent"....they have it....on TAPE

The Banksters lied.... thro' their teeth
- to rope in the Irish Gov't - and the TAXPAYER
- with deceit of a few billion bailout
- but once hooked - reeled the taxpayers in for...not a few,..... but £30 Billion
- as the tape reveals - they just picked the "reel the suckers in figure"
- quote

- He laughs as he is taped saying: "Just, as Drummer (then-CEO David Drumm) would say, ........'picked it out of my arse'."

http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/inside-anglo-the-secret-recordings-29366837.html

Taped telephone recordings (from the bank's own systems) from inside doomed Anglo Irish Bank reveal for the first time
- how the bank's top executives lied to the Government
- about the true extent of losses at the institution.

Anglo itself was within days of complete meltdown – and in the years ahead
- would eat up €30bn .......of taxpayer money.
- Mr Bowe speaks about how the State had been asked fo just...... €7bn to bail out Anglo
– but Anglo's negotiators knew all along .....this was not enough to save the bank.

The plan was that once the State began the flow of money,
- it would be unable to stop.

Mr Bowe is asked by Mr Fitzgerald how they had come up with the figure of €7bn. He laughs as he is taped saying:
- "Just, as Drummer (then-CEO David Drumm) would say, 'picked it out of my arse'."

Mr Bowe's comments in the audio recording reveal that Anglo's strategy was....
- to lure the State in,
- leaving taxpayers..... with no choice
- but to continue to provide loans to "support their money".

Various comments - Japan has "lost control" of it's bond market
- when the markets cotton on - poss black swan (unforseen of course)

So unforseen that - here's an official chart.....from The BIS
(THE Central Banker - to... the central bank spiders web)



So the "problem" .....kinda really stands out.

Just stick your finger.... somewhere on the timeline - when you think TPTB
will - "pull their finger out the dyke.....and let...just "This Bond Dam Go"

Here's the latest Bill Holter

http://blog.milesfranklin.com/the-great-unwind-has-finally-arrived

What a conspiracy theory - Fed behind the strange sell offs (timed to have maximum impact/selling at worst time price wise), and the timing of news to allow banks to recapitalise through trading profits from shorting..

Scandalous if true. And will do nothing to encourage people to either SAVE or Live within their means if the game is supposedly rigged.

gaz, nothing surprises me anymore, well apart from the fact that other people just don't get how things really work behind the scenes. NSA/GCHQ bugging me, really, bankers plucking figures out of their arses for bailout amounts, no surely not, bankers screwing politicians, politicians then screwing the public for being screwed by the bankers. Seems to me that everyone is just grabbing what they can whilst they can in the world of banking and politics. Of course the fish rots from the head down but by the time it hits the general public there will be nothing left to grab. The system isn't going to be allowed to decline in a controlled (as best they can) manner, it's a game of musical chairs to a level 1 implosion. Shame.
