Competition vs co-operation

One seeks to undermine team members; the other seeks to promote them.

We all know the stregths and weaknesses of competition from socially compulsory schooling. By setting low goals, the system damages those who easily achieve and those who for whatever reason, do not attain that goal. Such schooling is to turn out Betas, not Alphas. In fact, it damages Alphas, who frequently drop out. For as long as the system considers we have a surplus of Alphas, those who fail are left to languish and in misery, sometimes. The system does not care.

Co-operation is left to those who seek out the failures and rehabilitate them. Those who succeed at the competitive system do not want to recognize many truths about the system as it will unsettle them. They are in denial. Those who hijack the system, therefore are safe until a new paradigm arrives.

This is one of the best things about Australia. As anyone who follows sports will be aware, we are the most competitive nation on earth. But we also for the moment, recognize that the country in which we find our cities is very inhospitable and requires co-opeeration in order to survive. The acadamies for sport are very co-operative and the spirit of competition is less mean than in Ireland or England. England is one of the overcrowded countries, where like Japan, competition is ferocious, due to a mismatch of population and land, artificially induced by parks and areas which are preserved. Ireland is underpopulated, but seems to have some force at work that denies co-operation as a social objective.

Checks and balances and why banks need to be small

Sadly, as I know, people would sooner accept the blame than to risk their promotion. I pointed out to the government what they already knew: they had encouraged tax evasion! My colleagues decided to accept responsibility, despite proof that they were not to blame. No one thanked me. Well one did. Out of 700.

It is therefore no coincidence that the Irish government pact with banks, to fuel their deposits with evaded taxes, merely worsened the property and bank crash!

So I had to retire early, crushed. I laugh at them now, but I am still bitter at their stupidity. They helped to destroy themselves, by ignoring breaches of the law.

"Moral Slurry" and The Culture Of Looting
.


Quote from Peter Hitchens article in yesterday's 'Mail On Sunday':

".....The real danger from some of the defendants is emphasised by the floor-to-ceiling armoured glass which now surrounds the dock. Our courts never used to have such cages (though they are common in Third World tribunals).

In these ambiguous surroundings, a hard core of professionals are wearily processing the flow of moral slurry that passes constantly through the building...."

Hitchens is a commentator who, because of his determined promotion of Christianity and very effective opposition to abortion, I generally like.

However Peter, sometimes when reading such pieces as this, words of Christ spring to mind:

"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." (Matthew 7:5)

"Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast The First Stone."(John 8:7)

Better for you, Peter, that you try and feel some identification, or at least empathy, with this "moral slurry".

God made them too and firstly,

WHERE DO YOU THINK THE CULTURE OF LOOTING COMES FROM?




(cartoon here)

and secondly,

THEIR CRIMES OF THE STREET LOOTERS ARE SO MUCH LESS SERIOUS THAN NOT ONLY THE LOOTING OF THE BANKERS BUT ALSO THE SINS OF OMISSION COMMITTED BY YOURSELF

and the rest of your profession.

If it was the duty of the underclass to investigate, report on and demand the prosecution of criminal oligarchs, bankers, politicians, security services and the like, my guess is that they would do so. These are people who, for all their inadequacies, would surely see that dealing with the crooks at the top of society as severely as those at the bottom is an important matter of principle.....

.....a point clearly lost on your good self.

You can be forgiven for not stating the obvious and pointing an accusing finger....but

YOU DO NOT EVEN ASK THE OBVIOUS AND VITALLY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

YOU DO NOT EVEN REPORT STARTLING AND VERY IMPORTANT ANOMALIES OF EVIDENCE AVAILABLE TO ALL IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

THE ONLY REASONS CAN BE THAT SUCH REPORTING MIGHT GET IMPORTANT PEOPLE INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE.

(O.K. Such right and honest reporting might get you unemployed or worse but you will surely understand why some of us might feel justified in sneering out loud at such a person who mounts a 'moral high horse').

I will outline a few details of just one issue on which you have failed (7/7) below.....but there are many others. Failure on this will one day cause the public to consider all media as accessories to the most serious crime ever committed in this country.

For myself, I cannot condone or applaud any of the rioters' actions. But I can feel some sympathy for them. They are bottom of the heap. Angry losers who know that if things stay as they are that is all they will ever be. I can also admit to being grateful that this society has begun to manifest openly the truly appalling sickness that infects its body from top to bottom. Such transformative developments always seems to involve the heart-breaking suffering of innocents but you, as a Christian, will understand the unfortunate inevitability of this.

And anyone who has studied the issues knows that this sickness is much, oh so much, greater at the top of this society than at the bottom. The sickness must surely reveal itself in full before this society has any chance of healing itself.

However, we should try to empathise with people at the top also. We all know what it is to want more than we need and to do wrong to get it.

We all require some measure of God's mercy.

The evil of the controllers is worse of course, but history shows that the two ends of society have colluded in immeasurable wickedness over the past millenia. The British Empire had its Luciferian bankers, but there were plenty of willing murderers snatched from the gutters to help them.

Let us forgive them all.

But let us tell the truth and demand truth.

Then we can demand a change of heart from all parties, perhaps ourselves included.

THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE.

Oh, Peter.....yes......I'd forgotten the point.

Print some of this stuff, will you?



SERIOUSLY DISTURBING YET UNREPORTED FACTS ABOUT 7/7

Three Holes in the Floor of the Edgeware Road Carriage

Evidence was given by different witnesses, including the train driver (Ray Whitehead), that clearly describe three separate holes in the Edgeware Road carriage, two in front of the second set of (double) doors in the second carriage and another large hole in front of the first set of single doors in the same carriage. People fell into all three holes. Two emerged from the holes . One died in the third hole. The original report on the Edgeware Road explosion (from Mark Honigsbaum of the Guardian who was on the train) had the train lifting off the tracks and being derailed (i.e. bomb(s) underneath the train). The driver described all the access panels in the floor of the first coach (the bomb(s) killed people in the second carriage) being 'flipped open' from underneath.
In what way is any of this compatible with a single 'suicide bomber' with a rucksack full of black pepper and hydrogen peroxide?

The Explosives

Here is a timeline for the 7/7 explosives narrative as it developed:

The first analysis came from a genuine expert. This is surely the most reliable commentary on the nature of the bombs that went off that morning. The problem is that it would have been all-but-impossible for four young men from Leeds to get their hands on such materials.

On 12 July 2005, Superintendent Christophe Chaboud, chief of French anti-terrorism Coordination Unit who was in London assisting Scotland Yard with its investigation, confirmed to The Times that,‘The nature of the explosives appears to be military, which is very worrying….the material used were not homemade but sophisticated military explosives …’ (Nafeez Ahmed The London Bombs, p.24)

On 13th July it was stated that these were of ‘C4’ explosive....London explosives have military origin – [Science Daily. LONDON, July 13 (UPI)]: Forensic scientists told the newspaper the construction of the four devices detonated in London was very technically advanced, and unlike any instructions that can be found on the Internet.’

From The Independent on July 14th: ‘A bath filled with explosives has been found at a house in Leeds that was the “operational base” for the London suicide bombers
17th July 2005 The Observer: ‘22 lbs TATP in the bath.’

The TATP story survived but faded away in 2007 then, when the 7/7 Kingston trial came along in the summer of 2008 all trace of the TATP story had gone.

Now the explosives were made of black pepper and hydrogen peroxide. The idea of the four heating up Hydrogen Peroxide in their kitchen to the point where it would make an explosive mix with black pepper is simply laughable. How could they test that their ‘bombs’ were going to go off. Were they going to go lurching across the country with this kind of bomb sloshing about in their rucksacks. Has anybody ever made a bomb out of this mixture? If such a bomb did explode could it possibly have caused the devastation created on 7/7?

There is much written online that mocks these materials as potential tools of mass destruction. Do we not require a Public Inquiry on this issue alone. The changing storyline above surely makes no sense at all.

Why Suicide?

Moving on to another very obvious question: why would terrorists who wished to wreak havoc and punish British people for the UK’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan choose to blow themselves up along with their victims? These were very crowded trains. They could have set a timed detonator and quietly slipped off the trains a stop or two early, leaving their bags on the floor amongst the feet of dozens of incurious passengers. Where would have been the risk in that? Surely such activists would better serve their cause by continuing and not terminating their mission?

Drills

There were four uncannily accurate drills carried out before the 7/7 bombings:
1) The BBC Panorama ‘management exercise’ programme of May 2004 during which a panel of ‘managers’, including Peter Power (see below) and Michael Portillo, discussed how they would deal with a terror attack on London that revealed itself to them through mock news reports as the show progressed. The scenario they had to deal with turned out to be one overground and 3 underground explosions taking place over a short space of time during the morning rush hour.

2) The contemporaneous 7/7 drill: on 7/7 itself Peter Power conducted a terror drill that shadowed the cataclysm as it happened – over the same three tube stations at more or less the same time. On the afternoon of 7/7 he was interviewed on Radio 5’s ‘Drivetime’ programme:
POWER: …at half-past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for, er, over, a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing upright!

3) Atlantic Blue: held over 5-8 April, 2005. All echelons of government participated in this large terror-drill. The Independent reported after July 7th that “By an extraordinary coincidence, all the experts who formulate such plans are together in a meeting at the headquarters of the London Ambulance Service – and they are discussing an exercise they ran three months ago that involved simulating four terrorist bombs going off at once across London.”

4) Operation Hanover: London’s police hold a little-known yearly terror-drill. On 2005 it just happened to be held on 1-2 July. Its game-plan was threefold: three ‘simultaneous’ bomb attacks on three underground stations. The police have been reticent about discussing this astounding precursor event, mere days before 7/7. They only revealed it in 2009.

Question: How did the authorities manage to be so extraordinarily prescient re the 7/7 bombings? They got it almost exactly right every time. How, in the name of God, is such a thing possible?


Why No Post-Mortems?

Another astonishing fact that emerged during the 2010-11 7/7 Inquest was that no post mortems were carried out on the bodies of the victims. A very great deal about the nature of and distance from the explosions could have been discovered from such examinations. The effects of different explosives on flesh are well-known. Such post-mortems would have provided some definitive information that would have at least ruled out some possible explosives from consideration as the source material of the blasts. What could possibly explain such an oversight other than the desire to avoid creating conflicts with a fabricated narrative.

Body Count reveals no Bombers

The First Official Body Count on Two of the Trains was One Body Short

At the 7/7/ Inquest in November 2010 Dr. Morgan Costello gave evidence that he was asked to attend two scenes, Edgware Road and Aldgate, for the 'purposes of certifying the extinction of life'. He counted six bodies at Edgware Road and seven bodies at Aldgate and declared these as 'life extinct'. The enormous anomaly, that passed completely unreported in the press, was that the numbers should have been seven and eight if we count the bodies of the bombers. Here is surely the clearest possible evidence that the alleged bombers were never on the trains.
To some extent the authorities got round this issue with Tanweer by saying that his body was blown into 52 different pieces........but this makes no sense whatsoever given his alleged extreme proximity to others who died and the fact that the dead and the injured on this train (and on the other two) mostly suffered massive injuries to their feet and legs.

No similar count seems to have been carried out on the other (Russell Square ) train but we do know a little about the behaviour of the Russell Square bomber, Germaine Lindsay, before his demise.

Germaine Lindsay, cool and then confused

Germaine Lindsay drove from Aylesbury to meet the other (let’s call them) bombers in Luton railway station. He arrived an hour before them and decided to take a little nap. He received a parking ticket while asleep in his car. Were he a terrorist he obviously would have known that he would have had only four hours left to live.

Germaine Lindsay was one extraordinarily relaxed suicide-bomber.

A station attendant called Mr. Patel gave testimony to the Inquest that a man he identified as Germaine Lindsay arrived on the concourse of King’s Cross station and asked to talk to “The Duty Manager”. He said it was, “Very important.” Mr Patel remarked that it was very unusual for a member of the public to know the exact name for the person in charge of the station. Normally people asked for ‘the supervisor’ or ‘the manager’. At this time there was chaos on the concourse. The metal grills had been pulled down and shut at the front of the station. Passengers were not being allowed through the barriers. A crowd had built up and people were starting to abuse staff. Numbers of ‘Community Support Officers’ who looked like police were milling around the area trying to manage the situation. No wonder Lindsay was confused. He must have decided to try to speak to someone who ‘was in on the game’ to explain to him what was going on. The most obvious explanation of his behaviour is that it would have puzzled and alarmed him that the drill had started before he, ‘the bomber’, had caught their trains. Perhaps a chilling possibility occurred to him. When Mr. Patel returned with the duty manager Lindsay had gone.

And More

There are many, many other serious anomalies in the official narrative besides those mentioned above (and below).

The train times presented huge problems for the official narrative causing the Home Secretary to change the story after it was realised that the 7.40 they were said to have caught had been cancelled. Then the next train arrived 23 minutes late at King’s Cross giving the bombers only three minutes to buy four RETURN tickets (think about that one), cross the track by bridge and board the last possible train that makes it just feasible they could have reached the bombed trains in time.

On the 5th July 2005, Mohammed Siddique Khan took his pregnant wife to Dewsbury Hospital in West Yorkshire. She was bleeding and there was obviously something wrong. Doctors examined Hasina Patel and said that there was a ‘threatened miscarriage’. They sent her home and booked her in for a scan on the 7th. Mrs Patel has never told the time they got home but afterwards Mohammed Khan said that he was ‘going to see his friends’. Hasina Patel never saw or heard from her husband ever again. She miscarried on July 6th . At the 7/7 Inquest there was ‘evidence’ (peculiar and surely untrustworthy) presented of a mobile phone text-message exchange between Khan and Germaine Lindsay at 4.35am on the morning of the 6th July. Would Khan really have abandoned his desperate wife for a whole day while she was in that condition? Khan was a highly respected in his community and by the headmistress of the special school in which he worked as a classroom assistant. The police had used him to mediate between rival gangs in local disputes. He was trusted by all sides. Hilary Benn had taken Khan on a tour of the House of Commons. He was not known to be politically radical. Quite the opposite. He was protective of the good name of his community and was eager to maintain good relations with the local white community. Bearing this in mind it is likely that the reason the police have film of Khan is that he was helping them ‘keep an eye on’ any worrisome Muslim elements in his locality. He was not a troublemaker, he was a healer and a fixer.
The most likely explanation for Khan’s disappearance on the 6th is that he told his minder for the 7/7 exercise that he was not going to be able to make it. . He would have been told to see that the others could make it without him. The bombings were not going to be called off but……now he had presented his minders with a problem that had only one possible solution. His goose was cooked.

This would also explain why the attendant at the filling station where Tanweer filled his car (and argued about the change he was given) said he only saw one other person in Tanweer’s car. Hasib Hussain alone (the bus-bomber) was in the car and, unknown to the pair of them, Khan was by now already dead. This would also explain why the now-suppressed BBC radio 5 news reports from the late morning of the seventh said that two men had been shot in Canary Wharf (rather than three, the supposed train bombers. Hussain had been separated from the others).

Those who have travelled to Beeston and spoken to locals report that, like Khan, Hussain and Tanweer had shown no inclination in their communities towards political or religious radicalism.

The Evidence against ‘The Four’

Looking at the detail of latest narrative laid out before the 7/7 Inquest, it must be admitted that it is now just physically possible that the four caught the last possible train at Luton and rushed from King’s Cross Thameslink to the various subway platforms before detonating their deadly cargos. However, their relaxed demeanour in the very few still photos presented as evidence militates against the probability that they were rushing about madly that morning (especially with all that liquid explosive slopping about on their backs).

Why too in the most CCTV-rich environment on earth are there only a couple of very poor pictures of the four, one at Luton, one at Thameslink, the date and time stamps on which could have easily been photoshopped. Could the photos of Khan have been used from the ‘practice run’ the four carried out on 29th June 2005, just eight days earlier?

The mobile phone evidence places them all on the correct train at the right time. Three things about this though. Firstly, this is new evidence that was not released in the previous 2006 hearing. Why? Second, is it likely that these men would have been texting each other on train they had all boarded together. Finally, this is the kind of evidence easily faked. It is letters and numbers on a piece of paper.

Khan and Tanweer could easily have been talked into making the Jihadi videos that have played such a large part in aiding the public to accept their guilt. They were employees, well-paid for two days work, the practice on June 29th and for the day itself. They were told that the exercise has to be made as realistic as possible. The film would be in the hands of the station staff and other authorities giving them a possible means of intercepting the four. The on-camera ‘threats’ from Khan and Tanweer are vague and unspecific. When Hasina Patel first saw these videos it was reported that she said, “That’s not my husband.” Her brother thought it was Khan. It is most likely that she meant, “ I know him. He would never say such things.”
The ‘bombers’ all had four or more mobile phones each; one of their own private phones and at least three other (so-called) ‘operational’ phones that they are supposed to have used to confound anyone who might attempt to track their communications and obstruct their diabolical plan. It is most likely that these phones were supplied by their minder and that their holding them allowed their ‘handlers’ to track Tanweer and Lindsay down in Canary Wharf after they had panicked and gone on the run, presumably (and naively) hoping to tell their story to the British press who are mostly based there.

P.S. Muad’Dib

The first person to present an alternative and more credible narrative for 7/7 was Yorkshireman Anthony John Hill, in his documentary ‘7/7 The Ripple Effect’ (this is a must-see. Please watch if you don't know the film). Hill is a very unusual character in many ways. He has renamed himself Muad’Dib after a character in Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic ‘Dune’. It is basically his interpretation of events that have been presented above, excepting that ‘Dib did not know of the pregnancy problems of Khan’s wife, nor about the 4.35 text-messages, nor Khan’s failure to contact his wife after leaving her on the evening of the 5th of July at the time of making his film.
When a group of ‘Islamic terrorists’, allegedly associates of Khan, went on trial for offences in 2008 at Kingston Crown Court, Hill posted two copies of his DVD to the court. One envelope was addressed to the judge, the other to the foreman of the jury. Neither DVD reached its target but shortly afterwards a request for Hill to be extradited from Ireland (he lived in Kells, County Meath at the time) was sent to the Irish Ministry of Justice. The request was successful and Hill was collected by a British policeman, accompanied across the water and incarcerated in Wandsworth prison shortly before the start of the 7/7 Inquest.
Hill relates, amusingly, that he asked the policeman in whose charge he was placed, “Have you watched my film.” The constable replied, “Yes.” “What did you think of it?” asked Hill. The PC offered a look that was wide-eyed and grim. Hill asked him, “Shouldn’t you be arresting Tony Blair and not me?” and the policeman sheepishly went back to reading his newspaper.
Hill made immediate applications for bail but was only released once the Inquest was finished.
His documentary has been copied and handed out at mosques to thousands of Muslims in the UK. Most Muslims now believe ‘The Four’ to be innocent, largely because of ‘Dib’s work. The authorities were obviously determined he would not upset the 7/7 Inquest operation by getting his film into the hands of family members, press and God knows who else. This man scares them and has suffered accordingly. His case was being heard in Southwark Crown Court on Monday 9th May 2011. A jury of his peers found him, in contradiction to strong advice given to them by the judge, innocent on all charges.

Politicians and Ego

Ego was set up to serve.

Unfortunately, like our politicians, it takes over slowly, by finding many dangers from which it can protect us, at the cost of our happiness!

Ego is essential and attempts to suppress it are damaging. We end up as the Indian sages tell us, locked in the basement of our mind. allowing the ego full rein.

so it is with those who make money and career out of protecting people.

This is the basis for making profit in the illegal drug trades yet alcohol is allowed to kill many people slowly.

In a depression, when no loans are available and the loans of the last boom are still being paid off, only the essentials can be afforded. This hurts those interests that vested themselves during the credit boom..... They give up power slowly. They deny a depression exists for example! This is typical Ego behaviour. Politicians frequently suffer from strong apparent Ego rather than from the lack of it. Not all politicians are bad, but many are.

Nukes and Tsunami

As you know, this is a bugbear of mine.

Caught the last 30 mins of the film, K219 an hour ago.

17 nuclear warheads and two reactors remain in the north Atlantic. They are 18,000 ft., 3000 fathoms deep.

Hmmmmmmm. They should be removed?
