Interestingly, my new mantra is "anything outside a 5' perimeter of my physical self is not real"....we used to watch Walter Cronkite x 30 mins to get world info and then go LIVE in our real world. Now we're told 24/7 by the voices and vids on screens that our physical reality should be disregarded and we must live in a hyper-anxious state about things happening far away from us. Open the curtain, look outside-- thats the reality you need to embrace. If everyone keeps his own corner clean & neat, the rest will handle itself. Pax.
I’m coming around to that way of thinking too. What I see around me is benevolent, rural and peaceful so that’s my idea of reality. I don’t take anything I read in the news as true, in fact I look for what I think they are trying to bamboozle me with and take the opposite view. I made the mistake of driving to London the other day, 3 hours of driving to do 90 miles. The last 1.5 hours was travelling 10 miles at a max speed of 20mph between traffic jams. That’s a reality I’m happy to never see again.
Frank, nobody wastes their life on books! You know that really don't you? Books are only ever fulfilling (even badly written ones about bad subjects are better than no books - at least you can shout at them without being arrested).
Jk don’t care about getting nicked for wordcrime. Don’t plead guilty if you do. Don’t make it easy for your enemies. When they ask for a fork, bring them spoons. And play them. 🎶
I have shouted at, and physically abused, my copy of "Ulysses." I keep it, to prove to others that I endured it, and just in case a civil war is in our future, I can use its pages to start a fire on which I can roast various small rodents to provide sustenance for me and my loved ones.
Thanks for the latest Frank. Btw, the US government can't bail anyone out. It is $37 trillion in debt with over a trillion added yearly. You must be confusing the US government with the Federal Reserve. They can lend anyone any amount they want simply by putting it on their balance sheet. Watch it though. Interest is compounded and they may even ask for an ownership stake.
Yes, a schoolboy error on my part. You’re right about the stakes - of course - because you know far more about this than I do. Rumour I’ve heard is the IMF does not have the capacity and so it may well be the Fed. What France will do I don’t know.
Both Britain and France signed onto this system when their legislatures agreed to borrow non-existent money from their central banks and pay interest on those fake loans. Time now to pay the piper with bankruptcy and receivership. Heart breaking.
The UK government is a sovereign currency issuer, not a currency user (like a household). It can only issue currency (e.g. to pay employees, hoteliers, corrupt vaccine manufacturers etc.) or it can destroy currency (when it taxes people). It doesn't actually 'have' any money, so it cannot go broke/bankrupt/be bailed out.
The talk about needing a bailout (in the currency of which you are the issuer!) is nonsense. I can see it's currently being used to discredit this government (which is fine by me), but it also gets used to keep the population in a state of fear (like so many things). It's a shame Healey fell for it in '76 (silly billy) as it set the idea in stone (for many) that the country could 'run out' of the currency it creates.
A sovereign currency is the most powerful tool a national government can wield for the good of its people, if it was so inclined (none are, of course).
From another source pretty close to Reeves I am told she hasn’t got a clue. Hardly a surprise I know. So yes, the least sane option having the least integrity seems the most likely to me.
So-o-o, there will be peace if/when Hamas wins? Is that what is implied up there somewhere in your articles today? Let's just say Israel is wiped off the planet. Then, in your simplistic thinking, the Middle East will be peaceful. Hooray!... Yet Islam won't stop there. Europe still has to be fully conquered by battles making streets into rivers of blood from the millions of Islamic hordes let into Europe over the past 10 years gleefully slaughtering the indigenous citizens of every European Christian country. Do you not yet know what Islam is?

I can see the decline, the disorder, the loss of state control and so on. I don’t see anyone preparing for “civil war”.

Books and tomes may fill our homes
But words will get me collared lol

This is the most precise and honest appraisal of the whole crisis I have read - or am likely to read. Quite right, and yes it is tragic.

Heard a rumour. Pretty reliable source. I suppose we shall see what happens.
Oh yes, they did it before, and they may well again. For effect. Wouldn't it be great if the public knew it was a nonsense when it happened?

if you must........carry on i will listen. blessings from arizona
I apologise for appearing on screen. Sincerely.
Frank, you don’t look like I imagined at all. I now have cognitive dissonance 😂
I grew the tash to annoy my wife. It’s probably the tash.
