50pc house price fall implies 33 quarters of price declines

Gurdgiev also said that Ireland’s property bubble implosion is set to continue for some time: “Asset bubble crashes last longer than our policies anticipate. The OECD average is 10 quarters of credit busts for 18pc average contraction and 19 quarters of house price falls for a 29pc average price decline. Ireland’s bubble of a 60pc decline in credit supply implies 33 quarters of credit contraction and our 50pc house price fall implies 33 quarters of price declines.

“We are currently roughly 10 quarters into these twin crises,” he added.

Excellent review of Ireland and land at the turn of the century!

It looks as if my estimates of almost 100,000,000,000 Euro (to the closest significant figure) may be the final bill for lost bank value, loan losses, interest and crony payments all incurred by the peasant gombeens in power in Ireland.

The voters love it, being mostly peasant in outlook themselves. The only good thing is that it was not tulip bulbs!

Iran launches nuclear fusion bid

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-10749405

A gift from the USA? White elephant? Trojan Horse? A way to protect proven fission technology (which may be dangerously close to device manufacture) and divert Iranian efforts into a blind alley?

But do the Iranians swallow this? Note the ransomed scientist!

Central Banking with fractional and fictional reserves!

“Whoever controls the money of a nation, controls that nation and is absolute master of all industry and commerce. When you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.”

President James A. Garfield (1831-1881)

"White" baby to "Black" parents

This happens from time to time. It seems likely that pigmentation (not perjorative!) is a addition to survival. Having it enables survival where sunshine is strong and the individual is outdoors a lot. Having it in a weak sunshine environment or where the individual is is indoors, means rickets and cancer and many other disorders, related to Vitamin D deficiency. Thus the possibly not random loss of additional pigmentation may increase. I am nopt fully convinced by the out of Africa theory, but this occurence supports it. Low pigmentation individuals, (pigment challenged!) may also produce darker pigmentation children. Indians depict Aryans with blue skin, arising from the veins being visible through poorly pimented skin. Blue bloods! It reflects their ability to survive without working in the sun. Octaroons etc is also a term like mulatto. Niger, Negro means "black" Alba means "white". Latin, doncha'know!
Albino is now a medical term meaning no pigment at all. Eyes therefore are red. Low pigment get a choice! Skin will not freckle, but burn at the slightest provocation.

What Do Retired People Do All Day?

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop.
We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres.
So my wife called him a ####-head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the wind-shield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age.

Bankers

I now address my words to those who know and knew what was happening. You may have miscalculated. The possibility of non-repayment by individual countries is high and by blocs of countries, is getting higher by the year.

Disunity is the opposite of the NWO world government idea. Yet this is necessary, if mass boycott is to be avoided. We all know money in the form of credit, means little, in some ways, as it can be created so easily and was so easily done recently.

But do you wish to lose this money? Passing on the "asset" of these debts to others takes longer than planned. Swapping the proceeds for value may take even longer.

Do you want help?

Project Seal

This report corroborates others, as to NZ involvement. Alsaka? Aceh?

The Independent

EXPERIMENTAL BOMB TO CREATE HUGE TIDAL WAVE WAS TESTED IN 1944


SECRET WARTIME experiments were conducted off the New Zealand coast to perfect a bomb that could trigger devastating tidal waves, according to government files declassified in Auckland.

The New Zealand Herald, citing the files, said that senior United States defence officials believed the weapon had the potential to be as deadly as the atomic bomb. But the tsunami bomb, as it was known, was never fully tested and the war ended before the project was completed.

Its mastermind was Thomas Leech, an Australian professor who as the dean of engineering at Auckland University from 1940 to 1950. He was seconded to the New Zealand Army during the Second World War. He set off a series of underwater explosions that triggered mini tidal waves at Whangaparaoa, just north of Auckland, in 1944 and 1945.

Details of the research, known as Project Seal, are contained in 53- year-old documents released by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The papers, stamped "Top Secret", show that America and Britain were keen for Seal to be developed in the postwar years. They even considered sending Professor Leech to Bikini Atoll to watch the US nuclear tests and see if they had any application to his work.

In the end, he did not make the visit, although Dr Karl Compton, a member of the US board of assessors of nuclear tests, was sent to New Zealand to meet him.

In July 1946, a letter from Washington to Wellington Defence Headquarters stated: "Dr Compton is impressed with Professor Leech's deductions on the Seal Project and is prepared to recommend to the Joint Chiefs of Staff that all technical data from the test, relevant to the Seal Project, should be made available to the New Zealand government for further study."

The announcement in 1947 that he had been awarded a CBE for weapons research led to speculation in some newspapers outside New Zealand about the nature of the work that he had been conducting. No details were released about it at the time because the project was still under way.

Neil Kirton, a former colleague of Professor Leech, told the New Zealand Herald that the experiments involved laying a pattern of explosives underwater to create a tidal wave.

Small-scale explosions were set off in the Pacific and off Whangaparaoa, which was controlled by the army at the time. Mr Kirton said he doubted whether people living in Auckland at the time would have noticed the trials.

What happened to Project Seal once the final report was forwarded to Wellington in the late 1940s is not clear.

Mr Kirton said: "If it could ever be resurrected, under some circumstances I think it could be devastating."

Damaged lenses

Economics is the study of priorities and shortage?

We now have, like it or not, a surplus of satisfied borrowers. Satisfied in the sense of satiated, not at all happy!

So austerity is merely the recognition of this and a desire to return to prosperity, some growth, any growth, as soon as possible!

Mal-investment has occurred. This has to be removed from the system. Now is the time for that. The more that a sovereign borrows the more interest it will pay and then repaying the capital is hard. Attitudes have yet to change and recognize that debt is poison in many situations, despite, in fact because, of its previous ubiquity.

The Unholy Roman Empire

The euro is European discipline.
Ireland is governed by peasants in blue suits.
Discipline is foreign to them. They know land and food and little else. They will take the easiest way out. Either we continue with their ignorance or else we adopt a common strength with the Reich, the Roman empire, that is now Europe.
This must be a secular empire. No Inquisition. No Crusade. The call to prayer can be transmitted by radio to those who are interested. Religion will be a private matter. Debt will be controlled. These matters are connected.

Martin Luther King

In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered one of his most moving and important speeches, “Beyond Vietnam,” in which he spoke out against war and empire. He left humanity with sobering words:



I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

USA mortgagor?

Bob Chapman has this very good advice:


If you do not believe this contact your servicer and try to hunt down who now owns your mortgage. You will be stonewalled almost from your first inquiry.

You will note here that servicers in some cases are getting huge money. For what? I ask. They are supposed to be simple middlemen between your payment and funds transfer to the lender, therein being paid for the service, hence the term servicer.

If you pay the servicer, but the present owner of the mortgage does not get the funds, you will be sued for payment. You will have to sue the servicer to get your funds back. If servicers had to be bailed out that means they were not operating as a fiduciary, but as a speculator of some sort. You can therefore be royally screwed.

For your sake please go to this site because if the real lender does not get paid you should be asking what happened to your money?
