Bankers not to blame



Bankers Not to blame for crisis: 


Governments and central bankers must take the blame for the financial crisis - not bankers, investors and others in the market, according to a new study. 


YOU DO NOT NEED ANY STUDIES TO SEE AND KNOW THAT BANKERS, INVESTORS AND ‘OTHERS IN THE MARKET’ THROUGH THEIR COMMON GREED AND UNRIGHTEOUS CONDUCT HAVE ALL CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANT TO THE FINANCIAL CRISIS AS MUCH AS POLITICIANS AND CENTRAL BANKERS. 


IT GOES TO SHOW THAT HUMANS EVEN THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE VERY INTELLIGENT ARE DELUDED THAT THEY NEED TO CONDUCT STUDIES AND EVEN AFTER THAT, THEY CAN CONCLUDE BANKERS ARE NOT GUILTY WHEN THEY ARE GUILTY ‘LIKE HELL’, THEY HAVE LOBBIED POLITICIANS TO LIBERALIZE AND NOT REGULATE BANKING. 


Super efficient appeal: 


Quote: On late Monday afternoon, the court ruled that Nizar is still the Menteri Besar of Perak. On early Tuesday morning, the Appeal Court allowed a stay of execution. This means Nizar was back as Menteri Besar for a mere couple of hours yesterday and then had to hand the state back to Zambry.

What was astonishing was the speed in which the Appeal Court sat to make its decision when there are still so many older cases pending -- sometimes up to ten years while the convicted persons awaiting the outcome of their appeal languish in jail without bail during all that time. 


 


This is again evidence that the judiciary system is loaded for those in power and against anyone threatening their power. 


Expert way to handle anger  


PETALING JAYA: It is fine to be angry but it is also important to know how to handle or express anger. 


There is no expert way to handle anger, it is not fine to be angry and not important to know how to handle or express anger. Anger must not be tolerated but it must be destroyed never to rise again. 


If I am correct, the person who thinks he is an expert in handling anger has wrong view that the Buddha said will end in hell or the animal womb. 


Anger is dangerous like dynamite or alcohol that is addictive so that each time you get angry, you are not just suffering and making others suffer with karma accrued, it conditions you increasingly to anger such that anger becomes more easily aroused to more intense levels that get harder to control and dissipate and you are in danger of death or harm when your intense uncontrollable anger is provoked and you get into fights that may kill you. Your controlled anger aroused, you may engaged in wild driving with a challenger and end up getting killed in a crash. 


WHOEVER SPEAKS OF AN EXPERT WAY TO HANDLE ANGER AND SAYS ANGER IS FINE IS ASKING FOR GRAVE JUDGMENT. 


Not so quick: 


Already there are some optimistic economists who are forecasting that economies will begin to grow by the end of the year and Bernanke said things are improving and should recover soon. 


It is impossible they are speaking because they see and know but they are guessing driven by like or blind force instead of using genuine reason, based on data they have that they thus falsely interpreted. 


Even without seeing and knowing the future (as God can), based on facts available, one with true logic can discern that such a swift recovery is unlikely. 


ALWAYS IT IS NEVER GENUINE REASON BUT FORCE THROUGH LIKE AND DISLIKE THAT IS THE DRIVE IN PEOPLE’S SPEECH AND ACTIONS, IN THIS CASE, IT IS AS EXPECTED, FORCE IN THE FORM OF LIKE THAT IS THE DRIVE THAT LED THE ‘EXPERTS’ TO CONCLUDE THAT RECOVERY IS AT HAND. 


The Feds have announced plans to curb derivatives that were touted to be at the heart of this financial crisis that brought the economy to a ‘screeching’ deceleration. 


WITHOUT THE DERIVATIVES GIVING THE ILLUSION OF INSURANCE COVER FOR RISKY LENDING, HOW CAN BANKERS RESUME EXCESSIVE LENDING THAT WAS THE FUEL TO ALL THE EXCESSES THAT MADE THE RECENT BOOM POSSIBLE? IN THE PAST, IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE DECEPTION OF DERIVATIVES AND ENTITIES LIKE AIG PROVIDING INSURANCE FOR SUCH DERIVATIVES WHEN THEY DID NOT HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO BACK UP THEIR INSURING, THAT MADE THE BOOM POSSIBLE. 


EVEN IF WE COULD RESUME THE ALCOHOL FUELED EXCESSES OF THE PAST, DO WE STILL HAVE MONEY (MONEY SAVERS THINK THEY HAVE IN THE BANKS MAY ALL HAVE BEEN LENT OUT RECKLESSLY BY BANKERS NEVER TO RETURN) IN THE BANK TO SPEND THAT IS REQUISITE TO HAVING ANOTHER BOOM? THE FACT THAT BANKS ARE UNDERCAPITALIZED AND NOT LENDING INDICATES THAT BANKS HAVE RUN OUT OF MONEY AND SHORT OF PRINTING MONEY, THERE IS NO MONEY LEFT. 


THUS NOW WITH THE PUNCHBOWL OF DERIVATIVES TAKEN AWAY AND THE BANKS HAVING SQAUNDERED ALL THE MONEY DEPOSITED IN THEM, IF YOU HAVE GENUINE REASON YOU WILL REALIZE THAT A RAPID RECOVERY IS NOT POSSIBLE AND IT REFLECTS EMOTIONAL, FANCIFUL WISHFUL THINKING BY SO CALLED EXPERT ECONOMISTS AND FED CHAIRMEN THAT THEY CAN CONCLUDE THAT RECOVERY IS AT HAND. 


They forget very easily: 


Ordinary people, even those who tout themselves as great intellects, forget very easily even facts that are very crucial in deriving a conclusion and rather than natural and meritoriously, forgetfulness is dangerous, potentially fatal, and unnatural, a product of sin or the willful constant refusal to see the falsity of what they say or do. 


IT IS NOT THAT THESE SO CALLED EXPERTS DO NOT KNOW BUT THEY FORGET OR HAVE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THAT DERIVATIVES WHERE AT THE HEART OF THE CURRENT NEAR FATAL FINANCIAL CRISIS AND HOW THEY PERMITTED EXCESSIVE LENDING BASED ON INSURANCE COVER THAT WAS FICTITIOUS AND IT IS THIS EXCESSIVE UNINSURED LENDING THAT WAS THE BASIS OF THE PAST BOOM AND THAT NOW WE HAVE AWAKENED TO THE TRUE NATURE OF DERIVATIVES, THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE CAN RESUME DERIVATIVE BASED INSURE-LESS RECKLESS OR RISKY LENDING AND WITHOUT THIS RISKY LENDING THERE CAN BE NO RETURN TO THE BOOM OF THE PAST AND THEREFORE IT IS FOOLISH TO CONCLUDE RECOVERY IS AT HAND. 


FURTHER, IT IS NOT THAT THESE EXPERTS DO NOT KNOW BUT THEY FORGET OR HAVE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THAT BANKS ARE UNDERCAPITALIZED AND HAVE NO MONEY TO LEND WHICH IMPLIES THAT DEPOSITORS’ MONEY ARE NO LONGER THERE, HAVE ALL BEEN LENT RECKLESSLY NEVER TO BE RECOVERED IN MEANINGFUL AMOUNTS IF POSSIBLE AND WITHOUT MONEY TO LEND, HOW CAN THERE BE A SWIFT RETURN TO THE BOOM OF THE PAST? 


FOR ONE WITH TRUE REASON WHO DOES NOT FORGET, HE REMEMBERS THAT IT IS THE RECKLESS DERIVATIVES THAT FUELED UNINSURED LENDING THAT LED TO THE BOOM AND WITHOUT REVERTING TO THE DERIVATIVES, RECOVERY TO THE PAST IS IMPOSSIBLE AND HE ALSO REMEMBERS THAT BANKS HAVE NO MONEY TO LEND AND WITHOUT MONEY TO LEND, THERE CAN BE NO RECOVERY TO THE PAST. 


FORGETTING IS NOT NATURAL OR GOOD BUT IT IS A PRODUCT OF SIN THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS, LEAD TO FALSE CONCLUSIONS THAT A PERSON WHO REMEMBERS CLEARLY AVOIDS. 


Ask Mugabe: 


De facto, governments all over the world are throwing the rule books out of the window to print money in desperate attempts to stave off economic collapse. 


Mugabe has been printing money ‘like mad’ and now it costs millions for Zimbabweans to buy even eggs. Do we ever learn that printing money is never the answer or is it because of desperation, devoid of ideas, governments throw more firewood into the bonfire of consumption? 


People have been ranting at Mugabe but it looks like the west and advanced world are no better, they have now become Mugabes of printing money. 


IF BANKS ARE FULL OF MONEY THEY WOULD BE LENDING LIKE NO TOMORROW AND IT IS BECAUSE THE BANKS ARE UNDERCAPITALIZED AND SHORT OF FUNDS THAT MEANS THEIR DEPOSITORS’ MONEY HAVE BEEN LENT, POTENTIALLY NOT TO BE RECOVERED THAT GOVERNMENTS HAVE TO DESPERATELY PRINT MONEY AND BOOST CONSUMPTION. 


IN THIS SCENARIO AND NOW WITHOUT DERIVATIVES TO GIVE A SEMBLANCE OF BACKUP FOR RECKLESS LENDING, WHATEVER RECOVERY CAN ONLY BE ANEMIC AT BEST. 


What is the problem? 


The world economy is in crisis, even grave crisis we are told. Exactly what is the problem or problems behind the crisis can be known and it may be very simple. If the underlying problem is known then whether there is a cure or swift return to the past can be known. 


DESPITE WHAT MAY BE TOUTED, THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM LEADING TO THE WORLD CRISIS IS VERY SIMPLE AND KNOWING THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, THERE CAN BE NO QUICK FIX AND QUICK REVERSION TO THE PAST IF ANY. 


Normally banks must set aside a sizeable amount of money in reserves to backup whatever lending they do to meet ‘eventualities’ in case of default. 


The entity of derivatives outsourced such risk to say insurance companies whose capacity to stand surety was never properly assessed. Not only that, banks hide sizeable loan portfolios under the table, using entities that they do not have to declare. 


IT IS THIS OUTSOURCING OF RISK TO OTHERS WHO IN TRUTH DID NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO STAND SURETY AND THE ADDITIONAL HIDING OF MUCH LENDING IN OFF THE TABLE VEHICLES THAT PERMITTED THE BUILD UP OF DEBTS TO MONSTROUS LEVELS AND ALLOWED THE WORLD AND AMERICAN ECONOMIES TO BOOM TO SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS FOR SO LONG AND NOW THAT WE KNOW THE HOCUS POCUS OF DERIVATIVES, FEW IF ANY WILL ACCEPT THEM EVEN IF YOU OR ITS CREATORS WANT TO SELL THEM, CAN WE REVERT TO THE ‘HOT ECONOMY’ OF THE PAST EVEN IF THE ECONOMY WERE TO STAGE A ‘RECOVERY’? 


IF BANKS HAVE NOT RUN OUT OF MONEY, THIS CRISIS WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AND IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE BANKS HAVE RUN OUT OF MONEY AND GOVERNMENTS TOO HAVE BEEN TAKING ON EXCESSIVE DEBTS, SPENDING MORE THAN THEY SHOULD, THAT WE HAVE COME TO THIS CRISIS. 


IF PEOPLE START REPAYING THEIR NOW MONSTROUS DEBTS, CONSUMPTION WILL FALL AND THE ECONOMY WILL BE IN RECESSION IF NOT DEPRESSION. EVEN IF THEY DO NOT REPAY THEIR MONEY, THE BANKS HAVE RECKLESSLY LENT ALL THE SAVERS MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO CANNOT REPAY AND THEY (BANKS) NOW HAVE NO MORE MONEY TO LEND TO KEEP THE ECONOMY BUBBLING ALONG. INTO THIS SITUATION, GOVERNMENTS STEP IN BY UNRIGHTEOUSLY PRINTING MONEY AND STIMULATING THE ECONOMY BY INFRASTRUCTURE WORK AND GIVING DISCOUNTS TO CAR BUYERS, ETC THAT ONLY SERVES IN PART TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THE COLLAPSE OF DERIVATIVE BACKED RECKLESS LENDING AND THE DEARTH OF MONEY IN BANKS. 


THUS IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS CHECKMATE, THERE IS NO PALATABLE QUICK WAY OUT. 


WHATEVER ELSE THERE MAY BE AND HOWEVER COMPLEX IT MAY APPEAR TO BE, THE UNDERLYING BASIS OF THE CRISIS IS STILL THIS: BANKS HAVE LENT WAY IN EXCESS OF WHAT IS SENSIBLE BY USING DERIVATIVES TO FALSELY OUTSOURCE RISK, THEY HAVE IN ADDITION HIDDEN MORE LENDING IN UNDER THE TABLE ENTITIES AND IT IS THIS STEROID BASED LENDING THAT WAS THE BASIS OF THE PAST BOOM AND NOW NO ONE WILL ACCEPT DERIVATIVES AS COLLATERALS EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO SELL THEM TO OTHERS AND SO WITHOUT DERIVATIVES BEING ACCEPTED, HOW CAN THERE BE A RECOVERY TO THE PAST? 


NOT ONLY THAT, NOW PEOPLE AND COMPANIES ARE SADDLED WITH EVEN MOUNTAINOUS DEBTS THAT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME IF EVER TO REPAY AND WHILST THEY REPAY, CONSUMPTION WILL BE DEPRESSED AND THUS NO BOOM. 


PEOPLE’S MONEY IN BANKS HAVE ALL BEEN LENT OUT, OFTEN FOOLISHLY SO THAT IT MAY BE LOST FOREVER AND WITHOUT MONEY TO LEND, HOW CAN BANKS SUSTAIN THE ECONOMY WITH THE LIFELINE OF CREDIT? 


IF THE PROBLEM OF THE WORLD ECONOMY IS AS I DESCRIBED ABOVE THEN ONE UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY UNDERSTANDS THAT IT IS BASICALLY CHECKMATE, THERE IS NO PALATABLE AND SWIFT WAY OUT OF THE MORASS. 


Why there can be no quick recovery: 


Even if you or anyone wanted to sell derivatives to raise money or repay debts, no one or very few will accept them as payment because they know derivatives are much less valuable or even worthless than touted. 


Because derivatives played an important part in driving lending to excessive levels that was the drive to a booming economy, the fact that few will accept derivatives as collateral even if you still wanted to sell them means we cannot go back to the ‘good old days’. 


DERIVATIVES IS HISTORY, NO ONE WILL ACCEPT THEM EVEN IF YOU OR ANYONE STILL WANT TO SELL THEM AND WITHOUT DERIVATIVES FAKING THERE IS BACKING FOR MONEY LENT AND DERIVATIVES WERE CRUCIAL TOWARDS STOKING UP THE ECONOMY IN THE PAST, THERE CAN BE NO RECOVERY OF THE WORLD ECONOMY TO THE STEROID INDUCED HEIGHTS OF THE PAST. 


The jaga kereta boys of oil: 


It seems oil prices have risen above $60 in anticipation of recovery. 


Whatever they might like to think of themselves and how respectable they are, oil speculators are little more than (self appointed) jaga kereta boys of the oil market. 


Where you could park for free, because the jaga kereta boy imposes on you to look after your car, you have to pay to park. 


In the same way, because oil speculators take it upon themselves to have an interest in the oil you use, they drive up the price so that you will have to pay them for their interest in the oil that you consume. 


IT REFLECTS A MAD WORLD IN WHICH GOVERNMENTS WILL NOT JUST PERMIT OIL SPECULATORS WHO HAVE NO USE FOR OIL TO ‘INVEST’ IN THE MARKET BUT THEY ALLOW MARGIN TRADING THAT AMPLIFIES THE BETS THEY MAKE AND EVEN INVESTMENT BANKS LIKE GOLDMAN SACHS AND MORGAN STANLEY ARE BIG PLAYERS IF NOT MANIPULATORS OF THE MARKET.  


Emotional intelligence helps women get most of sex: 


Emotion is about force and force is blind and without any intelligence. Give something to force so that it can seize and drive robotically but force never has intelligence and there is no such thing as emotional intelligence in women. 


THERE IS NO INTELLIGENCE IN EMOTION BECAUSE IT IS ALL ABOUT FORCE AND FORCE IS BLIND AND SO IT REFLECTS FALSE PERCEPTION ON HIS PART THAT HE PERCEIVES EMOTION AS HAVING INTELLIGENCE AND HE IS A PERSON WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. 


Whether sexual gratification can be reliably quantified, women get more out of sex than men or the pleasure is meaningful or everlasting is 'questionable' or not true, let alone that women possess emotional intelligence. 


The sultan fears elections? 


Barisan Nasional does not fear fresh elections in Perak and will face the people when the time comes but any decision on whether to hold the polls is up to the Sultan of Perak Sultan Azlan Shah, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. 


Would the sultan fear elections? He has nothing to lose from the elections and it would be the way out of the present morass. 


Whether Najib means what he says or it is hypocritical, he is saying it is up to the sultan when behind the scenes it is otherwise can be known. 


UNLESS THE SULTAN IS SECRETLY PRO-BN AND WANT TO MAINTAIN BN IN POWER WITHOUT AN ELECTION, THERE IS NO REASON WHY HE SHOULD NOT CALL FOR FRESH ELECTIONS AND THE FACT THAT HE DOES NOT CALL FRESH ELECTIONS MAY BE BECAUSE HE HAS VESTED INTERESTS OR BEHIND THE SCENES SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN THE SULTAN IS ‘CALLING THE SHOTS’. 


‘WHEN THE TIME COMES’ IS AN IMPORTANT CAVEAT THAT BELIES HIS STATED LACK OF FEAR FOR FRESH ELECTION. 


IF IT IS TRUE BN DOES NOT FEAR ELECTIONS, THERE SHOULD BE NO ‘WHEN THE TIME COMES’ WHICH IN EFFECT RENDERS FALSE WHAT IS EARLIER STATED. 


Whatever is true needs no qualifications: 


Whatever is true needs no qualification and whatever is qualified is not true. 


Thus if BN truly is not afraid of elections, then it should not be qualified by ‘when the time comes’ and if the fearlessness is qualified by ‘when the time comes’ then it is not true but bravado or beating one’s own drum for the sake of making noise.  


Maybe not BN but Najib has something to fear: 


Maybe not BN has anything to fear about fresh elections but Najib has something to fear because it would render his ‘brilliant coup’ in wrestling Perak from the opposition much ado about nothing and a waste of much money. 


FRESH ELECTIONS WOULD INVOLVE LOSS OF FACE FOR NAJIB, WOULD MAKE HIS VENTURE INTO PERAK FOOLHARDY OR MISGUIDED THAT REDOUND ON HIS LEADERSHIP ABILITY. 


If it is true as Najib said that fresh elections is all up to the sultan then it is illogical that the sultan has till now not acted decisively to end the fiasco. 


IF NOT PREVIOUSLY, IT SHOULD NOW BE CLEAR TO THE SULTAN THAT FRESH ELECTIONS IS THE ONLY AND FAIR WAY OUT OF THE FIASCO. 


Am I missing something: 


"Am I missing something?" I thought to myself early in the week, as the Matthew Johns controversy thundered on and yet it seemed that Johns would press on at The Footy Show. 


‘Am I missing something’ is a rehashed style of speech some people adopt that is always for show and false, why is that so? 


If you think you may be missing something then you should not say it and it is absurd to ask others if they think you are missing something when you should be the one to answer the question and if you cannot answer the question then you should refrain from stating what you state. 


Every question requires an answer and so if you ask another a question you should make sure it is not frivolous but meaningful. 


‘AM I MISSING SOMETHING’ IS A STYLISH WAY OF SPEAKING THAT SOME PEOPLE ADOPT AGAIN AND AGAIN BECAUSE IT SOUNDS CHARMING OR FALSELY PRETENTIOUSLY POLITE AND IS NEVER TRULY MEANT (BUT ALWAYS CONDESCENDING). IF YOU ARE CONDESCENDING AND YOU THINK YOU ARE GENUINE, YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE DOES. IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING THEN YOU SHOULD PAUSE AND CHECK RATHER THAN ASK OTHERS TO ANSWER IT FOR YOU AND IF IN DOUBT, REFRAIN FROM SAYING YOUR PIECE.  


So much bull: 


Supporting my contention that there cannot be a quick recovery is data below: 


Hopes for 'green shoots' wither following poor US retail sales 


Predictions of an early revival for the American economy may have been premature after US consumers spent less on the high street for the second month in a row and the number of repossessed houses hit an all-time high.  


  


By James Quinn, Wall Street Correspondent
Last Updated: 7:49PM BST 13 May 2009 


In spite of reassurances by US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner that the financial system is healing, and positive words from former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, investors questioned the US recovery story.  


Global markets fell as a result, with the Dow Jones off 191.23 – or 2.26pc – at 8,277.88, while the FTSE100 in London closed down 94.17 – or 2.13pc – at 4,331.37.  


  


Question marks over Britain's growth prospects, raised by Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, played a part, as did a fall in European industrial output. But the biggest drag was the second consecutive monthly decline in US retail sales, which fell by 0.4pc in April, following a 1.3pc drop in March.  


Economists had expected sales to be flat in April, with Barclays Capital economist Michelle Meyer saying she was "disappointed" by the figure. US consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of America's gross domestic product and as such is a key economic indicator.  


Gloomy data from the American housing market did not help, with research firm RealtyTrac reporting that a record 342,000 homeowners were given notices of default in April, up 32pc on the same month last year.  


The data countered recent indicators which suggested "green shoots" were appearing in the US economy. That feeling led to a significant rally in world stock markets over the last three weeks, a rally that is now in reverse following yesterday and Monday's falls in New York and London. 


Bank of England hedges bets over recovery 


The Bank of England has thrown cold water over hopes that the green shoots of economic recovery have sprung.  


  


By Edmund Conway and Angela Monaghan
Last Updated: 5:58AM BST 14 May 2009 


Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England, cut his growth forecast and declared that there is as much chance that the economy will still be shrinking this time next year, as there is of it growing.  


In its closely-watched Inflation Report, the Bank also appeared to rule out raising interest rates from their current near-zero level for the foreseeable future, indicating that economists expecting it to yank up the cost of borrowing before the end of the year had got ahead of themselves.  


  


The comments caused both the pound and gilt yields to tumble as traders digested the fact that the Bank has no immediate plans to take its foot off the economic accelerator pedal and tighten policy. Sterling dropped by more than a cent against the dollar to $1.5159, and by just under a cent against the euro to €1.1143.  


The Bank cut its growth forecast for this year to around -4pc, well below the 3.5pc contraction the Treasury projected in the Budget last month, In comments which will further embarrass the Chancellor, Mr King said that the recovery was likely to be "slow and protracted".  


This downbeat view is in stark contrast to the Treasury's own forecasts, which imply that the economy will bounce back to above-trend growth of 3.5pc within two years.  


Instead, Mr King said: "The economy will eventually heal but the process may be slow. This is not like the typical business cycle in the post-war period... Even if there is some recovery in output over the next six to nine months, we don't know how sustainable that will prove to be."  


He added that there is as much chance that the economy is shrinking midway through next year as there is of it growing.  


Shadow Chancellor George Osborne said: "It is a further blow to the credibility of the Chancellor and the honesty of the Budget. The model of economic growth is fundamentally broken and we cannot have a sustainable recovery until we have a Government that understands that."  


The Bank expects inflation on the consumer prices measure to fall to around 0.4pc in the fourth quarter of this year, before rebounding at the turn of the year, reflecting the weak pound and reversal of the VAT cut. However, the projections also deemed there was less risk of deflation than the Bank forecast in February.  


Mr King said it was "much too early" to assess the impact of its quantitative easing programme but pledged to be ready for an exit strategy as soon as the economy starts growing again.  


However, economists said the Bank still need to clarify to what degree this involves raising rates or selling gilts.  


Some said the forecasts indicated that the Bank may spend more than the currently-pledged £125bn on Government and corporate bonds, with David Page of Investec saying the Bank may raise the amount given over to so-called quantitative easing to the Treasury-consigned ceiling of £150bn.  


Mr King also issued a warning shot to Chancellor Alistair Darling on the size of the Budget deficit, saying: "There is no doubt that we will need to move back to a path for fiscal sustainability, that is very important."  


Speaking nonsense is not fun or harmless but deadly: 


Speaking nonsense is not fun or harmless as deluded ordinary people like you to believe but it is deadly to self and others. 


Whether the words, “Am I missing something” is meaningful or meaningless eg to be condescending is objective, cannot be disputed. 


By uttering the words, you force the listener to ignore it and you have to use force to ignore it and that is conditioning him to forget that when well conditioned is a potentially fatal condition. 


WHENEVER PEOPLE ARE CONFRONTED WITH UTTERANCES THEY CANNOT MAKE SENSE OF, THEY USUALLY USE FORCE TO IGNORE IT OR FAKE THEY UNDERSTAND IT AND THAT IS CONDITIONING HIMSELF TO FORGET THAT IS A CONDITION HE MAY FIND HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT. HENCE BY SPEAKING NONSENSE LIKE ‘AM I MISSING SOMETHING’ YOU ARE NOT SAYING SOMETHING THAT IS FUN OR HARMLESS BUT SOMETHING DEADLY TO OTHERS AND ALSO YOURSELF FOR IT CREATES DEADLY KARMA FOR YOU. 


So where have the money gone? 


Money cannot disappear into thin air, and so if the banks are insolvent, have no money to lend, where has the money gone? 


Where in the past there were many, the consumers and populace with a little money, now the money has been surreptitiously transferred into the hands of the few who are now super rich no matter how much they spent, they cannot stimulate the economy sufficiently and the many who now heavily in debt or whose savings in banks have been recklessly lent out and are thus lost who cannot spend because they have no money, have bankrupted themselves. 


And so who are these privileged few who have become filthily rich at the expense of the system or common good? 


Amongst this select band of ‘privileged’ few are the developers of commercial and residential properties who have made unfair profits from people desirous of owning property by charging excessively and greedily kept developing more and more properties without concern about sustainability.  


Also amongst this select few are bankers, stock brokers, fund managers and CEOs who have rewarded themselves way beyond reasonable and often manipulated accounts to enhance profits without concern for future repercussions. 


Credit card companies have recklessly encourage people to consume on credit so that they build up debts they cannot service and the money lent is from money savers deposit in banks that have now been transferred to the companies that benefited from these credit card excesses namely retailers and restaurants and entertainment industries. 


Professionals like sportsmen in various fields like football, formula one, tennis have taken the opportunities to earn fabulous amounts of money previously unimaginable and this is at the expense of the system that sooner or later has negative repercussions.  


Politicians and their sidekicks or crony capitalists have been plundering their countries dry, providing excuses to spend on useless projects that enable them to siphon off money by charging exorbitantly. Where did Suharto’s billions come from and Daim is reputed to worth $40 billion plus. 


THUS IN THE PAST CONSUMERS WERE RELATIVELY HEALTHY WITH FEW DEBTS AND SAVERS HAD MONEY IN THE BANKS THAT COULD BE LENT. NOW A SIZEABLE PROPORTION OF CONSUMERS ARE ‘UP TO THEIR NECKS’ IN DEBTS SO THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO BORROW AND BANKS NOW DECLINE TO EXTEND FURTHER CREDIT WHILST THE MONEY SAVERS HAVE IN BANKS AND PENSION FUNDS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED, LENT OUT RECKLESSLY POSSIBLY NEVER TO BE RECOVERED SO THAT NOW THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE HEAVILY IN DEBTS OR WHOSE SAVINGS IN BANKS AND PENSION FUNDS HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT WHILST THERE ARE THE RELATIVE FEW WHO HAVE CORNERED MOST OF THE WEALTH BY HOOK OR CROOK, WHO NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY SPENT, CANNOT STIMULATE THE ECONOMY.  


IT IS THIS DISCREPANCY OR MISMATCH BETWEEN THE MANY WHO CAN SPEND BUT ARE NOW HEAVILY IN DEBT OR THEIR SAVINGS WIPED OUT BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD (EPF HAS NOT TOLD YOU THAT YOUR MONEY HAS BEEN SQUANDERED PROPPING UP COMPANIES) AND THE FEW LIKE CORRUPT POLITICIANS, CEOS, BANKERS, STOCK BROKERS AND DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE NOW CORNERED THE LION SHARE OF MONEY THAT THEY WILL NOT GIVE BACK, WHATEVER HAPPENS. 


Froth and deflation: 


A lot of the past wealth is actually froth not substance and so the world was never as rich as it was made up to be. Nations of the world kept printing money or stoking inflation with an arms race of raising prices so that those who cannot raise prices lagged further and further behind. Thus many laborers eg in Singapore and Malaysia saw whatever meager salary gains they had lagging more and more behind cost of living rises. 


Now those who have foolishly borrowed a lot find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. Their debts will remain the same whilst their incomes or salaries are likely to diminish as a result of deflation so that servicing debts becomes harder and harder as opposed to the past where salary rises made their earlier debts easier and easier to service. 


Rent seeking: 


There are manifestations of rent seeking businesses not just in Malaysia but the whole world and these have an effect of transferring wealth unrighteously from the many to the privileged few. 


Thus toll collecting highways have been built everywhere and their costs are likely to be significantly lesser than touted, they borrow money excessively to feather their beds and even make ‘another killing’ getting their companies listed (selling their shares at excessive prices) and then with the connivance of politicians who may be partners behind the scenes, extract exorbitant tolls that have the effect of making these individuals very rich and impoverishing the masses. 


Property lending is likely to be a major activity of banks that may be lucrative to banks when borrowers service their loans but property lending are expensive and tie up a lot of the money deposited in banks for a long time and so should many of these loans subsequently turn sour later, the banks and more accurately depositors whose money had been lent out will be lost. 


PROPERTY LENDING IS VERY CAPITAL INTENSIVE, TIES UP A LOT OF MONEY FOR A VERY LONG TIME EVEN TENS OF YEARS AND SO WHILST THINGS MAY BE ‘HUNKY DORY’ WHEN TIMES ARE GOOD AND BORROWERS PAY PROMPTLY, WHEN THINGS TURN BAD, THEN A LOT OF MONEY IS GOING TO BE FROZEN AND IF THE ASSETS ARE MUCH OVERVALUED, THE BANKS MAY GET MUCH LESS IF THEY AUCTION OFF THE PROPERTIES. 


THUS WADING THROUGH ALL THE OBSCURING CLATTER, THE UNDERLYING BASIS OF TODAY’S CRISIS IS THE RELENTLESS, SURREPTITIOUS TRANSFER OF WEALTH OF THE MANY TO THE FEW BY HOOK OR CROOK SUCH THAT NOW THERE ARE MANY WHOSE SAVINGS IN BANKS AND PENSION FUNDS HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT (BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD) OR WHO HAVE FOOLISHLY COMMITTED THEMSELVES TO BORROW BIG SUMS FOR PROPERTY OR CREDIT CARD CONSUMPTION TO THE FEW WHO NOW ARE SO FILTHILY RICH THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR MONEY AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN THEIR ILL GOTTEN MONEY EVEN IF THEY PERISH AS A RESULT OF SOCIAL STRIFE. 


IN SHORT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN RECENT YEARS IS A FULL SCALE TRANSFER OF WEALTH BY HOOK AND CROOK FROM THE MASSES TO THE PRIVILEGED AVARICIOUS FEW SUCH THAT NOW THE MASSES HAVE THEIR SAVINGS WIPED OUT BY INJUDICIOUS LENDING AND OR ARE IN DEBT THROUGH INJUDICIOUS BORROWING TO SATISFY THEIR CRAVINGS FOR HOUSES AND THE FEW HAVE SO MUCH WEALTH IMPOUNDED BY THEM THE ECONOMY SUFFERS FROM LACK OF LIQUIDITY. 


Stock market wealth transfers: 


Worldwide the stock market boom has also had the effect of transferring the wealth from the many to the few that few have awakened to the shenanigans. 


Stocks like Microsoft may be valuable but it may be overpriced. Look at the prices of GM and Citibank which are now pale shadows of the past. 


Sucked in by tales of fabulous instant wealth, many who had in the past not invested in stocks have mobilized their savings to play the market which is an unfair playing field loaded against the masses in favor of the goats or big shareholders. In addition they have entrusted their money and retirement funds to fund managers to invest in the stock markets and these find managers have an interest to prop up markets and push them up as high as they can to get rewards and so even today, the market is significantly overvalued and many foolish ordinary people do not realize they have lost their money on the stock markets, their wealth transferred to the few big time cheats and manipulators. 


A LOT OF MONEY OF THE MASSES HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE FEW AND EVEN TODAY THOSE LOSSES BY THE MASSES HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY REALIZED BECAUSE PRICES OF STOCKS ARE STILL HIGH OR UNREALISTIC AND WHEN THEY DO CRASH, THE PEOPLE WILL REALIZE THEIR STOCK MARKET WEALTH WAS JUST A MIRAGE. 


Money that can disappear: 


There is money that cannot disappear and there is money that can disappear. 


The money that cannot disappear is physical money, money already there in existence or circulation, money you deposit in banks and people use daily to transact with each other. This money can only change hands either by righteous or fraudulent means and if the bank says it has no money to lend, its money that is the money you deposited must have been transferred to others, either transferred to many others or to a few ‘privileged’ goats who have been hoarding money so that they now have the lion share of money and the system is now illiquid. 


The money that can disappear is the money that was never there in the first place (and there may be a whopping amount of this money sloshing around) but was artificially created or an illusion of it created by privileged goats in order to cheat you off your money or siphon off your money to them. 


THUS IN ORDER TO CHEAT THE MASSES OFF THEIR MONEY SO THAT THE FEW PRIVILEGED GOATS END UP WITH THE LION SHARE OF THE MONEY AND THE MASSES BECOME IMPOVERISHED (AND THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM BECOMES JAMMED WITH SO MANY WITH NO MONEY AND SO FEW WITH SO MUCH MONEY), THE PRIVILEGED GOATS MUST CREATE ARTIFICIAL ILLUSORY WEALTH (EG SPECTACULAR STOCK MARKET AND PROPERTY VALUE RISES) THAT THEY CAN SELL TO THE GULLIBLE MASSES AT RIDICULOUSLY INFLATED PRICES SO THAT THEY OBTAIN THE WEALTH OF THE MASSES AND THE MASSES LOSE THEIR WEALTH OR BECOME MIRED IN DEBTS. 


What is this illusory money that was never there but an illusion of it was created by privileged goats as a ploy to cheat you off your money? 


Suppose a house only cost $100,000 but the shrewd goat convinces you that it is worth $1 million or will be soon because of its location etc, etc and you are taken in and commit yourself to buy it. Isn’t that $1 million that the house is touted to be worth artificial wealth that never was there, that was artificially created in order for the seller to un-righteously cause you to part with your money in exchange for a house that is in truth worth $100,000? 


Microsoft may be a valuable company but it may be reasonably worth far less than its selling price and because Microsoft shares are selling at this current high price, people multiply the share price with the total number of shares and say the company is worth so much and they the shareholders are fabulously rich. But this is artificial wealth not backed up by physical money, a mirage, if everyone were to sell off his shares at current high prices for all the companies, there is not enough money to pay for them and their share prices will collapse.  


There were those who obtained the shares at much lower prices, those who built or obtained the properties you are so desirous to own at much lower costs and it is these who have sold off to you who have transferred a considerable amount of wealth of the many who were foolish enough to buy shares and houses at much inflated prices. It takes virtually a life time for most people to pay off their mortgages and if they borrowed money from banks, it is savers’ money that you borrowed that has been transferred to these greedy sellers of houses or developers. 


Cars too are an important conduit of transfer of wealth. People usually pay off their car loans over many years and once sold, the car companies get the money that is transferred off the masses who buy to their hands.  


RELATIVELY FEW PEOPLE GOT INTO THE STOCK OR PROPERTY MARKETS EARLY BUT MOST GOT ON THE BANDWAGON LATE, LURED BY TALES OF FABULOUS GAINS AND IT IS THESE WHO HAVE PAID EXORBITANT OVERINFLATED PRICES FOR HOUSES AND SHARES EITHER THROUGH THEIR SAVINGS OR BY BORROWING OTHER SAVERS’ MONEY. IN SO DOING THEY, THE GULLIBLE MANY OR MASSES, ARE FOOLISHLY TAKING ON DEBT OR GIVING UP THEIR WEALTH TO THE PRIVILEGED FEW GOATS WHO INCREASINGLY CORNER A LARGER SHARE OF THE COMMON WEALTH THAT THEY CANNOT HOPE TO SPEND A FRACTION OF NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY. 


THERE ARE MANY OTHER RENT SEEKING PLOYS LIKE BUILDING TOLLED HIGHWAYS AND CHARGING EXCESSIVELY FOR TOLL SO THAT THEY RAKE IN FABULOUS WEALTH QUICKLY THAT DRAINS THE MASSES OFF MONEY. 


THERE HAVE BEEN MONSTROUSLY BIG SHARE AND PROPERTY BUBBLES IN RECENT YEARS ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY ARE BUBBLES BECAUSE SHARE AND PROPERTY PRICES ROSE TO RIDICULOUS LEVELS THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO JUSTIFY BY FUNDAMENTALS AND WHAT THESE ARTIFICIAL SHARE AND PROPERTY BUBBLES HAVE DONE IS TO SURREPTITIOUSLY, INEXORABLY TRANSFER THE WEALTH OF THE FOOLISH MANY WHO WERE SUCKED IN TO BUY, TRANSFER THE SAVINGS OF THE MANY IN BANKS AND PENSION FUNDS INTO THE HANDS OF THE FEW WHO WERE CREATING AND SELLING THESE RIDICULOUSLY PRICED SHARES AND PROPERTY SUCH THAT IN TIME TO COME, THE SYSTEM REACHES A CRISIS IN WHICH MUCH OF THE PHYSICAL MONEY IN CIRCULATION IS POSSESSED BY THE FEW WHO HAVE DISPOSSESSED THE MANY EITHER DIRECTLY BY SELLING TO THEM OR INDIRECTLY BY GETTING THE BANKS TO USE SAVERS’ MONEY TO FINANCE THEIR OVERPRICED PURCHASES. 


THERE IS A LOT OF PHYSICAL MONEY IN THE WORLD BUT OVER TIME AND THE MONSTROUS INFLATION OF PRICES OF SHARES AND PROPERTIES, THERE HAVE BEEN AN INEXORABLE TRANSFER OF WEALTH FROM THE MANY TO THE FEW SUCH THAT IT HAS NOW REACHED A CRISIS POINT AND WITHOUT THE FEW GOATS RETURNING THEIR UNRIGHTEOUS GAINS TO THE SYSTEM (WHICH THEY WILL ONLY DO OVER THEIR DEAD BODIES), THERE CAN BE NO RECOVERY. PRINTING MONEY IS JUST DILUTING WEALTH. SO IF WHAT I SAY IS TRUE, IT IS FATEOUS OR FOOLISH TO THINK THERE CAN BE A QUICK REVERSION TO THE PAST. 


(I am not even an economic student and yet do I not speak better economic and financial sense that your professors of economics and Greenspans?) 


Virtual wealth far more than genuine wealth: 


Think of the internet bubble and how ridiculously priced those shares were at their heights (and still relatively are eg Google). 


The value of illusory wealth in recent years, wealth that is perceived but not there, may be much greater than physical wealth, as great as the physical wealth of the world may be.  


BECAUSE OF THE MONSTRUOUS SIZES OF THE ASSET BUBBLES IN RECENT YEARS AND THE EXTENDED DURATION THEY WERE ALLOWED TO FESTER, THERE HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT EVEN DESTABILIZING TRANSFER OF WEALTH FROM THE MASSES TO THE PRIVILEGED FEW GOATS SUCH THAT WE HAVE REACHED THIS CRISIS POINT.  


There are no magic or supernatural powers required for me to work out what the current financial and economic meltdown is about. What is needed is seeing things clearly as they are, not as you like or dislike them and thus seeing, to use calm clear thinking to work out what is happening. 


Proof that they do not understand: 


The fact that no one, not even the top economic brains have postulated what I have regarding the etiology of the financial and economic crisis currently roiling the world proves that if I am correct, this is a world that thinks it understand but even its top intellectuals are robots who are rehashing to each other the same old common thinking without grasping what is the nature of the problem. 


Whatever happens has causes and understanding is needed to know if there is a solution to the problem and if there is what it might be. 


Thus what is the problem the world faces? 


It is that banks have no money to lend and are tottering on the verge of bankruptcy or failure. 


But the banks collect much money from depositors and this money cannot just disappear. Where has this money gone to? 


This money (and more, by breaking rules and borrowing from other banks) has been injudiciously lent out by banks in their pursuit of greater and greater returns and now borrowers are defaulting and so the banks have lost the money they collected as deposits. 


But where has the money these banks lent out gone to? Where mortgages are involved, the borrowers do not see the money, it is paid to those who sold the properties to them. Thus the money banks have lent has gone to developers and property retailers and the borrower now cannot repay. 


Looking around at the many asset bubbles (shares, properties, consumer spending, cars, infrastructure spending by governments) it is not difficult to surmise that the money the banks lent and cannot recover must have been pocketed by the privileged few who now possess a lion share of the money whilst the many have lost their savings held in banks and pension funds or foolishly committed themselves to debts for overpriced assets.  


THUS WHAT UNDERLIES THE CURRENT WORLD FINANCIAL CRISIS IS VERY SIMPLE. IT WAS BASICALLY ABOUT THE CREATION OF MONSTRUOUS PROPERTY AND SHARE BUBBLES BY WHICH THE PRIVILEGED ELITE CHEATED THE MASSES OFF THEIR MONEY GRADUALLY SO THAT NOW THE MONEY DEPOSITED IN BANKS AND PENSION FUNDS ARE MOSTLY IN THE HANDS OF THESE FEW ELITES AND THE SYSTEM IS INSOLVENT. 


I MAY BE WRONG BUT IF WHAT I THEORIZE IS LARGELY IF NOT TOTALLY CORRECT AND NOBODY IN THIS WORLD HAS EVEN THINK OF IT, IT REFLECTS HUMANITY DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. IT THINKS IT UNDERSTANDS BUT IT UNDERSTANDS FALSELY. IF YOU UNDERSTOOD HOW COME YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE BASIS BEHIND THIS CRISIS? 


IF WHAT I POSTULATE IS TRUE THEN SHORT OF THESE ELITES RETURNING THEIR ILL GOTTEN GAINS, THERE CAN BE NO SWIFT RECOVERY AND SINCE THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, THE ONLY RECOURSE IS FOR GOVERNMENTS TO PRINT NEW MONEY BUT THIS IS DILUTING THE WEALTH THAT MAY HAVE UNWANTED NASTY REPERCUSSIONS. 


Why the worst is yet to come: 


People have not realized that they have lost their money to the elite few. Share prices are still high giving a semblance of normality. A lot of pension funds are invested in the markets propping up markets and should these markets collapse, people will realize the full extent of their losses and the elite few may suffer backlash from the masses in a free for all. 


Sony makes first loss in 14 years: 


You make a profit not a loss. You suffer or sustain or experience a loss. 


It reflects their disheveled use of language in this the BBC site that incorrect words are used without thought that will encourage others to follow. 


Why Anifah may be lying: 


Quote: “I was personally offered a very lucrative position, like a deputy prime ministership. These facts are not known to the world at large,” he said 


The foreign minister alleged Anwar offered him the deputy PM position as an inducement for crossing over in an interview that painted Anwar negatively. 


THERE ARE TELL TALE SIGNS WHEN PEOPLE ARE LYING. ANWAR CANNOT HAVE OFFERED HIM A LUCRATIVE POSITION LIKE DEPUTY PM BUT EITHER HE OFFERED HIM THE DEPUTY PM POST OR NOT. HIS FLIPPANCY IN SAYING ‘LIKE’ IS AN UNCONSCIOUS HESITANCY BECAUSE HE IS FABRICATING OR LYING AND LIARS USUALLY LIKE TO BE VAGUE SO THAT THEY CANNOT BE PINNED DOWN BUT IN THIS CASE, YOU SHOULD MAKE UP YOUR MIND WHETHER IT WAS OR WAS NOT, NOT ‘LIKE DEPUTY PM’. 


Who is this Anifah? 


Nowadays I would be hard pressed to put a face to many ministers name (eg what the Works Minister looks like) and so I do not know how the foreign minister looks like. But I remember seeing on TV last night a Malaysian official I thought was the UN rapporteur beside Hillary Clinton that now I understand may have been our foreign minister. My impression by sight of him was that he looked diffident or out of depth like an amateur. 


A lot but still very few: 


There are a lot of people who ‘riding the crest’ of the past world boom have become very rich ranging from sportsmen (footballers and managers), professionals (lawyers), businessmen, fund managers, crooks (mafia types), CEOs, stock brokers, developers etc, but compared to the vast majority who have been left behind (poorer) or become heavily indebted as a result of greedily buying properties or shares) they are very few. 


BECAUSE THE SHIFT IN WEALTH OF THE SYSTEM BETWEEN THE ELITE FEW AND THE MASSES WAS INEQUITABLE, IT WAS INEXORABLE LOPSIDED FROM THE MASSES TO THE ELITE, IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE BALANCE TIPPED AND THOSE ON THE LIGHTENING END OF THE SEE SAW (THE MASSES) WAS EJECTED INTO THE AIR AND IT APPEARS THE TIME IS COMING. 


YES, MANY PEOPLE HAVE MADE IT RICH, OFTEN BY HOOK AND CROOK BUT COMPARED TO THE MASSES THEY ARE STILL VERY FEW AND NOW THEY WIELD THE FINANCIAL REINS, HAVE CORNERED THE WEALTH FOR THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE INCLUDING THEY WILL SUFFER. 


The thing that makes you rich makes me poor: 


There is a song whose lyrics go, ‘the thing that makes you rich makes me poor’. 


IT IS A FALLACY THAT WE CAN ALL BE RICH TOGETHER. 


IF YOU ARE RICH, IT DEPRIVES OTHERS OF THE MONEY THAT THEY OTHERWISE WOULD OWN. IF YOU ARE NOT RICH THEN I WILL ALSO NOT BE POOR, WE WILL BOTH BE OK BUT THE THING THAT MAKES YOU RICH, MAKES ME OR OTHERS POOR BECAUSE YOU HAVE CORNERED THE WEALTH. 


Film stars & singers: 


In the 50’s and 60’s film stars and rock stars were paid a pittance compared to what they command today and they became filthily rich at the expense of the masses who had to paid exorbitant sums just to watch them perform. 


LOOK AROUND AND YOU CAN SEE THE TRANFER OF WEALTH FROM THE COMMON PEOPLE TO THE PRIVILEGED FEW WHO CAN CALL THE TUNE, DEMAND WHAT THEY WANT IN PRICE AND THEY WILL BE PAID. ALL THESE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INEXORABLE SEQUESTRATION OF WEALTH IN THE FEW AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANY. 


 


In spite of, not because of: 


 



This is a spin bowler in ‘full flight’, his body and limbs all tangled up, full of style that consumes a lot of energy to create stress that is rather than necessary to create the unpredictable or unplayable spin is useless, for show and wastes energy. 


The spin he generates may be in spite of rather than because of his contortions and he is courting madness doing what he does that is useless. 


The cricket ball has a seam and it loses its shine, becomes bald or uneven after being hit many times by the bat and landing on the ground. 


Depending on how the bowler holds the ball in relation to the seam and the uneven patches on the surface, weather conditions (humidity promotes spin by increasing air resistance), he imparts spin to the ball by releasing the ball with a rotation imparted his finger gripping the ball and it is this spinning of the ball that determines its curved flight together with a complex permutation of contributions by the ball’s seam, uneven shine, bald patches and bumps and the uneven patches on the worn out pitch so that the bounce is irregular in height and direction that will ‘bamboozle’ the batsman. 


ALL THE CONTORTIONS HE IS MANIFESTING MAY BE UNNECESSARY, WASTEFUL, WHAT IS CRUCIAL IS HOW THE UNEVEN BALL IS GRIP, HOW MUCH SPIN AND SPEED IS IMPARTED ON THE BALL AS HE RELEASES IT AND THE REST WILL DEPEND ON AIR RESISTANCE, UNEVEN PATCHES ON THE PITCH. HIS ‘BEGUILING SPIN’ MAY BE IN SPITE OF RATHER THAN BECAUSE OF HIS CONTORTIONS. 


SHORN OF STYLE, WITH PRACTICE THAT CHANNELS ALL MY ENERGY INTO GETTING THE BALL TO SPIN, I MAY BE GENERATE MORE EFFECTIVE SPIN THAN HIM BUT BECAUSE I SEE CRICKET AS MEANINGLESS, IT IS LIKE DANCING THAT THE BUDDHA CALLS INSANITY, I SEE NO REASON WHY I SHOULD TAKE UP CRICKET OR GOLF. 


THE PERSON ABOVE IS DOING IT THE HARD WAY, HE DOES NOT NEED TO DO ALL THAT TO GET THE BALL TO SPIN. 


All sportsmen are self defeating: 


Sportsmen desire to hit the ball as hard, fast, far and with the most spin as possible to defeat their adversaries. Yet because there is always style present in their swings and style is useless for show and wastes a lot of energy even more energy than consumed by the substance of their swings, if they did not have style they could channel all their energy into hitting the ball that would get it travelling faster, farther and with more spin.  


For one who discerns, the ball hitting motion of sportsmen always has a stretching (prolonging the length, curving and rotating the path of the swing), acceleration of speed and strength that is for show, if style was eliminated, the energy saved could be channeled into the substance of the swing with better result. 


The man who can swing without style will not do so because he sees all sports as meaningless and even swinging without style exposes his mind unnecessarily to force that could be avoided if he did not swing and so he will not partake of sports. 


SPORTSMEN ARE DESIROUS OF HITTING THE BALL AS FAST, HARD AND SPINNING AS THEY CAN BUT THEIR STYLES ARE WASTING A LOT OF THE ENERGY THAT COULD OTHERWISE BE SAVED FOR THE NEXT STROKE OR BE CHANNELED INTO THE SUBSTANCE OF THAT STROKE. 


Anwar’s Anifah deputy PM offer implausible: 


It is not plausible that Anwar would offer a low profile person like Anifah that few know the deputy PM post. If someone like Tengku Razaleigh or Shahrir was offered it may be plausible. 


Further PR is not run dictatorially by Anwar and there are people from PAS if not PKR or DAP whose approval it would be needed if Anifah was to become deputy PM. Should DAP dissent and pull out of PR how is Anwar going to offer Anifah the deputy PM post? 


Hence all in, taking into account his flippant, “like deputy PM post” it is likely he is fibbing which although it can be denied, is likely to smear Anwar as unprincipled. 


How to steal and cheat: 


Many in this world including those who think they are decent are desirous of getting rich, and fast and by and large to do so you must cheat or steal. 


Stealing and cheating implies stealth or deception, robbery is open undisguised confiscation. 


In order to cheat or steal to get rich fast, you must invent some product or find some product that people are desirous of or need and sell them at an exorbitant price so that you can rake in fabulous profits. 


Thus property or a house that people are desirous to own is a suitable product that can be sold at big profit that you can arrange finance for them by the banks. 


Shares too are a vehicle to rip off others. Many share counters are in truth worth much less than they trade for, on the basis of rumors and cooked accounts, major shareholders and syndicates push up prices to sell off to foolish people. 


Building tolled highway too is a product that enables its builders to charge exorbitantly so as to get rich fast. 


THUS IN RECENT YEARS THERE WERE SUPER BUBBLES OF SHARES AND PRROPERTY THAT ENABLED WEALTH TO BE TRANSFERRED IN MASSIVE AMOUNTS FROM THE MANY TO THE FEW. 


We may be worse than the 1930s: 


Rather than too sophisticated or knowledgeable for us to commit the mistakes of the 1930s depression, we may be worse. 


For instance in this boom, people who were at the end of their credit lines, were able to use the appreciating values of their houses to borrow more from the banks to sustain their lifestyles and not go bankrupt. 


NOT ONLY HAVE PEOPLE TODAY BORROWED TO FINANCE THEIR PURCHASES OF HOUSES BUT THEY HAVE CASHED IN OR BORROWED BASED ON THE APPRECIATED VALUES OF THEIR HOUSES. 


IT IS UNLIKELY IN THE 1920S THAT YOU COULD USE THE APPRECIATING VALUE OF YOUR HOUSE TO BORROW FROM THE BANKS TO KEEP YOU AFLOAT OR KEEP OPENING NEW CREDIT CARDS TO REPAY OTHER CREDIT CARDS WHEN YOU ARE IN DIRE STRAITS AND SO TODAY’S FINANCIAL ABUSES MAY FAR EXCEED THOSE OF THE 1920S. 


 


Test of grace and agility


DOLLED up and clad in glittering leotards, some 70 girls fluttered gracefully to the background tune while mesmerising the crowd with ball and hula-hoop tricks.


Grace and agility are about how you do or say something that differs from others that the person finds desirable and therefore graceful or agile and so it is all about style and the person who says it and wants others to join in appreciates style which is a matter of how a person uses force to prolong, change speed and strength in a certain way that he perceives as graceful. 


Because style is all about manifestations of force that is blind and just for show to be seen, this person and all who appreciates grace and agility is headed for insanity for appreciating what is meaningless and perishable as meaningful. 


PEOPLE ARE KIDDING THEMSELVES IF THEY THINK THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE STYLE, THEY ARE STIRRED BY FORCE CHANGES, THEY NOT ONLY APPRECIATE STYLE AND FORCE BUT IT IS FORCE NOT GENUINE REASON THAT IS THE DRIVE OF WHAT THEY SAY OR DO AND THAT IS A RECIPE FOR CERTAIN FUTURE DISASTER BECAUSE FORCE IS BLIND AND ACTIONS DRIVEN BU FORCE IS BLIND, INVITING DISASTER. 


They perceive falsely: 


Just as they perceive falsely that they are appreciating something meaningful when they appreciate grace and agility, in the same way they perceive falsely that their actions are guided by reason or understanding when their speech and actions are always driven by like, dislike, sadness, fear and hurt and these are all proxies of force not reason. It is their stirred like, dislike, sadness, hurt and fear that drives emotional people to say or do what they say and do and that means what they say or do is driven by blind force not guided by genuine reason and that is a recipe for disaster, big or small, sooner or later. 


GRACE AND AGILITY MERELY DENOTES A CERTAIN WAY IN WHICH SOMEONE DOES OR SAYS SOMETHING WITH PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE THAT THE PERSON FINDS ATTRACTIVE OR STIRS HIS MENTAL FORCE TO BE ATTRACTED AND SO GRACE IS ALL ABOUT THE MACHINATIONS OF FORCE AND THEIR APPRECIATION IS ALL ABOUT STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE TO BE ATTRACTED THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REASON. 


AND JUST AS THEY PERCEIVE FALSELY NOT TRULY THAT APPRECIATING GRACE AND AGILITY IS MEANINGFUL WHEN IT IS MEANINGLESS, IN THE SAME WAY THEY PERCEIVE FALSELY (NOT TRULY) THAT WHAT THEY SAY OR DO IS GUIDED BY REASON BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS DRIVEN BY FORCE, DICTATED BY LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT & FEAR. 


BECAUSE PEOPLE SEE THEY THINK THEY UNDERSTAND BUT BECAUSE THEY SEE FALSELY, THEY IN TRUTH DO NOT UNDERSTAND. 


See Anifah has stuck a foot in his mouth: 


What Anifah said is totally unnecessary and it was said not guided by reason but driven by force to attack and slander Anwar who has now threatened to sue him for defamation. He may hide behind the apron of a judiciary that will protect the ruling elite but there is divine justice that is far worse for him. 


EVEN IF WHAT HE ALLEGES IS TRUE, THE WISE PERSON WILL NOT SAY IT. AS THE BUDDHA SAID, ONLY IF SOMETHING IS TRUE AND BENEFICIAL WILL HE SPEAK. IF SOMETHING IS TRUE BUT UNBENEFICIAL OR DISAGREEABLE TO OTHERS, THE BUDDHA DOES NOT SPEAK. 


Anifah is trying to divide: 


Anifah’s allegation Anwar offered him the deputy PM post is intended to be divisive, divide Anwar from the public and divisive speech, depending on your intention, can send you even to hell. 


APART FROM BEING DIVISIVE, IF IT WAS FALSE THEN IT IS SLANDEROUS, ANOTHER NAIL IN YOUR COFFIN OF PAIN. 


Why Anifah lacks credibility: 


The public cannot know whether what Anifah alleged, that Anwar offered (bribed) him with the deputy PM post is true or false, so they will have to take his word or use force to accept what they cannot see as true is true. 


In the same press conference (overseas in the presence of Hillary Clinton) he said Anwar has done a lot of harm to the country. 


An international press conference is not an appropriate context to denigrate Anwar, Anwar is not in power and so it is ludicrous (and courting insanity) to suggest he has done a lot of damage to the country. In fact a case may be made that Dr M did a lot of harm to the country by his fiery attacks on the west, look east policy and various boycotts.  


THE PUBLIC CANNOT KNOW IF IT IS TRUE IF ANWAR OFFERED ANIFAH THE DEPUTY PM POST (ALTHOUGH BEING A LIGHTWEIGHT AND IT IS UNLIKELY ANWAR HAS THE AUTHORITY WITHOUT PAS OR DAP APPROVAL TO OFFER HIM THE POST TE ALLEGATION IS UNLIKELY TO BE TRUE) BUT THE DISCERNING PUBLIC CAN KNOW IT IS RIDICULOUS FOR HIM TO ACCUSE BIZARRELY ON AN INTERNATIONAL STAGE THAT ANWAR HAS DONE A LOT OF HARM TO THE COUNTRY THAT HE HAS ILL WILL TOWARDS ANWAR AND UNLESS HE IS MAD, HE IS FABRICATING THERE AND SO BY EXTENSION, HIS ACCUSATION OF THE OFFER OF DEPUTY PM IS LIKELY TO BE SIMILARLY OUTRAGEOUS AND IT ACTUALLY REFLECTS NEGATIVELY ON HIMSELF FOR HIM TO MAKE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS CLAIM. 


ANYONE WHO BELIEVES ANWAR HAS DONE A LOT OF HARM TO THE COUNTRY HAS SERIOUS PERVERSION OF PERCEPTION THAT IS THE PATH TO MAD PERCEPTION. 


Why telling lies can send anyone to hell: 


If others can see or know what you say is false, there is no need to tell a lie. 


It is only because others cannot see or know what you say is false (or you foolishly think they cannot see or know) that you tell a lie. 


A LIE IS A PLAN THAT YOU WANT OTHERS TO ADOPT OR ACCEPT AS TRUE AND THE ONLY WAY ANYONE CAN ADOPT A PLAN AS TRUE IS TO USE FORCE TO MEMORIZE THAT THE PLAN IS VALID. 


THUS ANYONE WHO TELLS A LIE UNRIGHTEOUSLY PURPOSELY WANTS OTHERS TO USE FORCE TO ACCEPT A PLAN THAT IS FALSE IS TRUE. THE LIAR WANTS OTHERS TO BECOME A ROBOT OR SLAVE TO HIM. BECAUSE IT IS FALSE YOU ARE CULTIVATING DELUSION IN OTHERS THAT WILL NOT ONLY END IN THEIR SUFFERING MATERIAL LOSS BUT ALSO IN THEIR GOING MAD BECAUSE BELIEVING WHAT IS FALSE IS TRUE IS THE PATH TO INSANITY. 


THUS ANYONE WHO TELLS A LIE, NO MATTER HOW FRIVOLOUS OR MINOR OR EVEN ‘FUN’ OR FOR A JOKE IT IS, IS SERIOUSLY HARMING OTHERS AND HELL IS YOUR DESTINY AS PUNISHMENT. 


Reason is not needed to believe lies: 


True reason is never involved in anyone believing lies and in fact the absence of genuine reason is the essential requisite in order to believe in lies or be gullible or vulnerable to falsity. 


IN ORDER TO BELIEVE IN FALSITY OR BE GULLIBLE, YOU JUST NEED GOOD PERCEPTION AND FORCE. IF YOU CAN ACCURATELY PERCEIVE (SEE OR HEAR) WHAT THE LIAR WANTS YOU TO SEE AND HEAR AND USE FORCE TO RECORD THAT IN YOUR MIND, YOU ARE WELL ON YOUR WAY TO BEING TRICKED OR CONNED. 


THE PRESENCE OF GENUINE REASON WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU DID NOT SEE OR HEAR WHAT HE SAID IS TRUE AND YOU CANNOT ACCEPT WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE AND THEREFORE YOU DO NOT ACCEPT. FOOLS RUSH AND ARE EAGER TO ACCEPT WHAT OTHERS TELL THEM AS TRUE, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE SO GOOD, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE VESTED INTERESTS IN BELIEVING THE LIAR BECAUSE THEY ARE PARTISAN OR LIKE OR DISLIKE CERTAIN THINGS. 


Thus it is impossible anyone knows that Dettol kills 99% of germs, this is what you are told that some readily accept because they hate germs and want something they can access that will kill the germs off not realizing that Dettol may not be as efficacious as it is touted for the purpose of pushing sales.  


Anyone proven to believe in lies has no true reason: 


If I can prove in any instance that you believed a lie told to you or something you hold is false, then you have no genuine reason or does not understand. 


ANYONE WHO UNDERSTANDS OR HAS GENUINE REASON CANNOT BE DECEIVED, CANNOT BELIEVE IN LIES TOLD TO HIM OR HARBOR DELUSIONS. 


IT IS ONLY A PERSON WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, WHO DOES NOT POSSESS GENUINE REASON (AND IS THEREFORE A ROBOT VULNERABLE TO PROGRAMMING BY HIMSELF AND OTHERS) WHO CAN BE DECEIVED. 


IF YOU PERCEIVE IT IS NEVERTHELESS POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS TO BE DECEIVED IN SOME MATTERS AND NOT OTHERS, YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR DELUDED AGAIN, YOU PERCEIVE WRONGLY THAT WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON WITH TRUE UNDERSTANDING TO BE DECEIVED BY ANYONE IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE HE NEVER USES FORCE TO ACCEPT WHAT HE IS TOLD THAT HE DID NOT SEEE OR KNOW AS TRUE, SO HOW CAN HE EVER BE DECEIVED. 


A PERSON OF TRUE UNDERSTANDING IS SCRUPULOUS, HE IS DEVOTED TO TRUTH AND GUARDS THE TRUTH (AS THE BUDDHA EXHORTS) AND SO HE NEVER ACCEPTS WHAT OTHERS TELL HIM IS TRUE THAT HE DOES NOT SEE AND KNOW IS TRUE. 


Force is needed to believe falsity: 


Force is always needed to accept falsity and because a person of genuine understanding is disinclined or reluctant to use force he is not vulnerable to falsity. 


BY CONTRAST EMOTIONAL PEOPLE ARE EAGER TO USE FORCE, FORCE IS ALWAYS STIRRING IN THEIR MINDS IN THEIR CONSTANT STYLE OR PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH THEY FABRICATE, THIS EVER PRESENT BLIND ROILING FORCE IS EAGER TO LATCH ON TO WHATEVER IS PRESENTED TO IT AND ACCEPT IT AS TRUE, AND SO THEY ARE VULNERABLE TO ACCEPT FALSITY, IT IS TO BE EXPECTED THAT A PERSON WHOSE MENTAL FORCE IS EVER MINDLESSLY ACTIVE WILL LATCH ON TO FALSITY AND BELIEVE FALSITY. 


A PERSON OF TRUTH HAS HIS MENTAL FORCE SUBDUED, SELDOM ACTIVATES IT AND THEN IN MINIMAL INTENSITY WITHOUT FOR SHOW PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH AND HE IS MINDFUL OF THE STIRRING OF HIS MENTAL FORCE, SO HE IS NOT VULNERABLE TO FALSITY. IF YOU TELL HIM SOMETHING, HE IS IMMEDIATELY AWARE THAT HE CANNOT SEE OR KNOW WHAT YOU SAID IS TRUE AND BECAUSE HE IS AWARE AND KNOWS HE MUST STIR FORCE IN THAT INSTANCE, HE IS RELUCTANT TO AND DOES NOT STIR HIS MENTAL FORCE AND WITHOUT STIRRING HIS MENTAL FORCE, HOW CAN HE ACCEPT WHAT IS FALSE IS TRUE? 


 


THEREFORE ALWAYS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CON OR DECEIVE A MAN OF GENUINE UNDERSTANDING. IF HE DID NOT SEE OR KNOW SOMETHING, HE DOES NOT ACCEPT, HE DOES NOT USE FORCE TO FORCE HIMSELF TO BELIEVE, HE ONLY STICKS TO WHAT HE SEES AND KNOWS. 


AND HENCE IF IT CAN BE PROVEN THAT YOU HARBOR FALSITY, YOU CAN BE CONNED, IT MEANS YOU ARE A MAN WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT GENUINE REASON BUT YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS REHASHED, RULES OR INSTRUCTIONAL OR PROGRAMMED GENERALIZED REASONING. 


Even if true it creates karma: 


Even if what Anifah said is true that Anwar tried to bribe him with the deputy PM post, he is (foolishly) creating karma for himself. Why is that so? 


Even if what he said is true, the public has no way of knowing what he said is true or false and so why is he saying so?  


He is saying so because knowingly or unknowingly he wants the public to use force to accept what he said as true. 


ANYONE WHO WANTS OTHERS TO USE FORCE IS INCURRING KARMA FOR HIMSELF. THUS EVEN IF WHAT HE SAID IS TRUE, BECAUSE THE PPUBLIC CANNOT KNOW WHAT HE SAID IS TRUE, DELIBERATELY OR UNWITTINGLY HE WANTS OTHERS TO USE FORCE THAT HARMS THEM, THAT CONDITIONS THEM TO FORCE AND SO HE IS INCURRING DEBT. IF YOU ARE PROMOTING FORCE AND YOU DO NOT KNOW, YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING THAT IS EVEN WORSE THAN THE FOOL WHO SINS AND KNOWS HE SINS. 


BY CONTRAST, WHAT I SAY IS NOT SUBJECT TO BELIEF, THERE IS NO USE BELIEVING WHAT I SAY, WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHETHER YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY OR NOT. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR MISUNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY THEN IT DOES NOT HARM YOU OR YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR MISUNDERSTANDING, NOT ME. 


If you think what I say is a matter for belief just as what Anifah said that Anwar tried to bribe him is a matter for belief then you may be right or you are deluded. There is no use believing what I say, what matters is ‘do you understand what I say’? And for one who discerns, very few, even those who think they are smart and good understand what I say. 


THERE ARE THINGS THAT REQUIRE FAITH BUT IF IT IS TRUE AND BENEFICIAL THEN IT DOES NOT CREATE KARMA FOR THE PERSON. THUS JESUS TELLS YOU THERE IS GOOD AND BAD AND THERE IS HEAVEN AND HELL AND IF IT IS TRUE AND YOU CANNOT SEE IT THEN IT DOES NOT CREATE KARMA FOR JESUS IF HE TELLS YOU THERE IS HEAVEN THAT YOU CANNOT SEE AS REWARD FOR GOOD AND THERE IS HELL THAT YOU CANNOT SEE THAT IS PUNISHMENT FOR EVIL. 


Keep working 'to avoid dementia'


Keeping the brain active by working later in life may help ward off Alzheimer's disease, research suggests


I see and know it is rubbish. In order to obey what is said, you must use force and without seeing and knowing it is true, you use force to accept it and accepting it, you keep working to avoid dementia. 


You work because you have some useful work to do, not for the sake of avoiding dementia. You may avoid dementia by keeping working but you will go mad because you are working not because there is useful meaningful work to do but to avoid dementia. Thus it is that many older people cannot keep still, they must find something to do or say not because it is meaningful but they have an urge to do or say something and that is controlled madness that will end in uncontrollable madness. 


It is the cumulative toll on the brain through the incessant use of force to fabricate style by prolonging, changing speed and strength of force, the constant roiling of the mind by emotions like like, dislike, sadness, hurt and fear, the impact of stress, restlessness and distraction that are byproducts of force that finally shatters the mind so that it becomes demented, not working to keep the mind active. You need force to keep the mind active and this activeness is itself harming the mind with force. The higher person can shut down thinking completely and that is shutting down the need for force to power thinking and that is inactive, not keeping the mind active as advised in delusion. 


THE BUDDHA SAID YOU CAN SHUT YOUR MIND OR THINKING BY EXISTING FULLY CONSCIOUS WITHOUT THINKING (SOMETHING I AM INCREASINGLY DOING) AND THAT IS AN INACTIVE RATHER THAN ACTIVE MIND THAT IS ADVOCATED AS THE PANACEA TO DEMENTIA. YOU NEED MENTAL FORCE TO BE ACTIVE AND IT IS THIS FORCE THAT IF UNNECESSARY IS CORRODING THE MIND TO CAUSE DEMENTIA. 


Why Perak Sultan may have acted in favor of BN: 


Apparently it is UMNO that decides who ascends the state royal thrones. The NS sultan who passed away recently was not succeeded by his son as he wished but by another prince against his choice. 


Raja Azlan ascended to the throne by some fortune, an elderly Raia Muda died in waiting and although he has anointed his son as successor there is no guarantee it will be so if he displeased the power behind the scenes. 


Just one judge sat to suspend the Nizar Zambry judgment: 


According to RPK, only one judge when there should be a panel of at least 3 judges sat urgently the next morning to suspend the judgment that Nizar is the rightful MB of Perak. 


According to RPK, immediately his statutory declaration regarding Altanturya was made public, the police charged him with making a false report which was later changed to defamation of Rosmah. 


Without investigating the contents of the declaration police declared it as false because the investigating officer said he must know because he was the investigating officer. However when challenged by RPK’s lawyers regarding details of the case, the officer said he actually did not know everything, he was merely the coordinator not investigator. Further they changed the charge from making a false declaration to defamation because then they would have to prove to the court why the declaration is false that would be messy even if they could.  


As Alaska Glaciers Melt, It’s Land That’s Rising: 


Scientists are discovering land rises when the weight of ice (which is very heavy) on them disappears with melting. This means locked land masses may be unlocked triggering earthquakes from a destabilized mantle. Thus all this melting may not be without consequence, it may lead to earthquakes everywhere. 


The geology is complex, but it boils down to this: Relieved of billions of tons of glacial weight, the land has risen much as a cushion regains its shape after someone gets up from a couch. The land is ascending so fast that the rising seas — a ubiquitous byproduct of global warming — cannot keep pace. As a result, the relative sea level is falling, at a rate “among the highest ever recorded,” according to a 2007 report by a panel of experts convened by Mayor Bruce Botelho of Juneau. 


Greenland and a few other places have experienced similar effects from widespread glacial melting that began more than 200 years ago, geologists say. But, they say, the effects are more noticeable in and near Juneau, where most glaciers are retreating 30 feet a year or more. 


An accident or doing work? 


 


Whether it is just an accident you happened to be sitting thus naturally at ease or it is not an accident, you are sitting thus for a purpose and it is unnatural as you have to force yourself and it creates stress, restlessness and distraction can be known and if you are doing so and do not know what you are doing it does not exonerates you but it indicates you are worse, a fool who does not know what she is doing. 


SHE IS DOING WORK, NOT NOT DOING WORK, SHE IS POSING, SITTING IN A WAY THAT IS NOT AN ACCIDENT BUT WILL EXPOSE HERSELF TO ATTRACT SEXUAL DESIRE AND SO THE PURPOSE OF HER WORK IS TO STIR MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY IN OTHERS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT SHE HAS BEEN TOLD IT WOULD OR COPIED FROM OTHERS. 


BECAUSE THE USE OF FORCE TO DO WORK THAT IS NOT TRULY FRUITFUL BUT TO STIR FORCE IN OTHERS IS MEANINGLESS, FRUITLESS, SHE IS PRACTICING CONTROLLED MADNESS THAT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, IS THE PATH TO INSANITY, SHE IS HEADED FOR SUFFERING. 


IF YOU WERE TO SIT IN THE WAY SHE IS DOING, YOU TOO HAVE TO DO WORK, NOT NO WORK AND WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SITTING LIKE THIS? IF YOU SAY NO PURPOSE THEN YOU ARE HEADING FOR MADNESS FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT IS USELESS. IF YOU SAY IT IS BECAUSE IT IS SEXY OR DESIRABLE THEN YOUR WORK IS FOR A FALSE PURPOSE, TO ATTRACT AND THAT TOO IS THE PATH TO MADNESS. 


Commercial property and credit card are next: 


There are quite a few economists who are saying that things are still quite dire but the markets that are driven by greed and impatient to boom are already making bets that things will start to recover in double quick time. 


The next crises it seems may come from commercial property loans going sour and defaults on credit card. 


So far, it is the fallout from home mortgages that have pummeled the markets, it seems defaulting commercial properties are growing and not taken into account and credit card defaults are likely if not certain to rise with unemployment, tightening credit and the closure of the use of house price rises to borrow or borrowing on your house. 


No sex please: 


No sex please – erotic theme park knocked down after China rethink. 


Just because the erotic theme park has been ‘knocked down’ (rejected or cancelled, not knocked down) does not mean ‘no sex please’ and it is presumptuous to equate it with no sex please. It is also a rehash, he has heard and remembered others use the well worn phrase, ‘no sex please’. 


THE PERSON WHO IS NOT A ROBOT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE RELEVANT FEATURES OF A SITUATION AND THEN COMPOSES A STATEMENT SPECIFIC TO THAT SITUATION. IN THIS CASE, THE APPROPRIATE STATEMENT IS NOT THE STANDARDIZED ‘NO SEX PLEASE’ THAT HE IS ATTRACTED TO BUT IT MAY BE, ‘NO PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF SEXUAL MATERIALS’. ANYTHING THAT IS GENERALIZED TO BE REHASHED FOR MANY SIMILAR SITUATIONS IS INSINCERE, IMPERSONAL, FOR SHOW TO IMPRESS OR PLEASE OTHERS. THE PERSON IS A REHASHER WHO MERELY COPIED OR APED OTHERS AND NOT JUST HERE AS HE AND YOU DO NOT REALIZE BUT ALWAYS HE IS A REHASHER OR ROBOT. 


Cart before the horse: 


Because phrases like ‘no sex please’ are fixed beforehand the person is trying to fit situations into that pigeon hole ‘no sex please’ instead of trying to fit or design a phrase to a situation. This is like putting a cart before a horse instead of the horse before the cart. 


IF SOMEONE WERE TO FIX A CART BEFORE A HORSE, DON’T YOU THINK HE IS MAD OR WILL GO MAD TO DO SO, SO WHY CAN’T YOU SEE THE FOLLY THAT WILL END IN MADNESS OF TRYING TO FIT SITUATIONS INTO STANDARDIZED PHRASES? 


Great mad strain or effort: 


 



There is great strain or difficulty or effort needed for Geithner to speak above. 


Whatever anyone wants to say, there is no reason or understandable cause that he should be under so much strain to vocalize and it reflects the great stirred emotional block or barrier in his mind that he has to overcome that he is struggling to get what he wants to say out. 


Thus his mind is laboring under considerable emotional force that impedes it and such a person is laboring under falsity, under blind force and whatever that ensues is never pure calm thinking but convoluted and therefore false or deluded. 


THERE IS NEVER ANY UNDERSTANDABLE REASON FOR ANYONE TO STRAIN AS HE IS TO SAY WHAT HE WANTS TO SAY BUT IT REFLECTS HIS MIND IS LABORING UNDER STIRRED EMOTIONS OR THERE IS AN EMOTIONAL OR MENTAL OR FORCE BLOCK THAT HE MUST OVERCOME THAT RESULTS IN HIM STRAINING LIKE A CONSTIPATED MAN TO GET HIS WORDS OUT. ANY PERSON WHOSE MIND IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF STRONG FORCE CANNOT THINK TRULY AND SO WHATEVER CONCLUSIONS HE COMES TO MUST BE RECEIVED WITH CAUTION, CANNOT BE TRUSTED, IS LIKELY TO BE FAULTY. 


SUCH GREAT STRAIN IS NEVER NEEDED FOR ANYONE TO SPEAK ANYTHING AND SO IT IS MAD FOR HIM TO DO SO AND BECAUSE IT IS MAD, WHATEVER REASONING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MIND TOO MUST BE TAINTED SIGNIFICANTLY. 


Game or no game: 


Game or no game, if the opposition is presenting you with an opportunity to wrest a seat from them, then surely predatory BN will take the opportunity to field a candidate if it thinks it stands a reasonable chance of wresting the seat. Thus the only true reason you decline to field a candidate is that you do not fancy your chances and are fearful of mud in your face that another defeat would bring, anything else proffered by BN are excuses and to turn around to accuse the opposition of playing games is to use the opportunity to falsely attack with karma involved.  


How heavy can a word be? 


 


How heavy can any word be? If you agree it does not take much force and energy to enunciate any word then why is Geithner and so many others like him straining like a constipated man to get his words out? 


Doesn’t it reflect madness or is there an explanation? 


Actually there is a mental block in the minds of people who are stylish and emotional. Often their mental forces or emotions are stirred to too strong levels so that they are temporarily incapacitated or nearly so, so that they struggle like a constipated man to get the words they want to say out. 


IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A BUDDHA OR AN UNEMOTIONAL STYLE FREE MAN TO EVER STRAIN LIKE GEITNER IS STRAINING TO SPEAK WHATEVER HE WANTS TO SAY. 


BECAUSE A WORD CANNOT BE SO HEAVY, IT REFLECTS MADNESS TO TAKE SO MUCH EFFORT AND FORCE TO SAY IT. 


In unison and resistance: 


Whenever an unemotional person speaks, his mind is in unison and there is no resistance to overcome and so it is effortless. 


Because whatever emotional people is never specific to the occasion but dishonestly rehashed to meet the demands of the occasion and it is never quite what they mean, they are saying things to please and impress others, they must speak against resistance that can sometimes rise to intense levels so that they struggle to push through want they want to say. 


The reason why Geitner is straining is because there is resistance in his mind and that indicates there is conflict between two opposing forces. 


The force that powers what he wants to say is his force of going against self and the force that is resisting what he wants to say that goes against self or harms self is his force of self preservation. 


Just as it takes much greater effort to propel a car if the handbrakes and even the brakes are activated, in the same way, it becomes a struggle to talk when the force of self preservation becomes activated to too strong a level. 


This Swine flu may be sinister: 


Some schools in NYC have been closed after the sixth death, an assistant principal who apparently ‘did not miss a day at work’ succumbed. 


Some students fell sick. 


The key danger of flu viruses seems to be that if they invade the lung tissues they can cause severe fluid exudation that effectively drowns the person internally and it does not matter if you are very fit, if your lungs work against you in the fight against the virus, you will drown in your own excessive lung fluids. 


Thus as the virus spreads around the world and maybe evolve even further, it may become a pandemic that could cause many deaths.  


So much waste of energy: 


Just as much energy is wasted in HOW (or the style of how) Geitner spoke, in truth the energy wasted in HOW he spoke is far greater than the energy required to speak what he said calmly, in the same way, so much energy is wasted or dissipated by sportsmen in fashioning HOW they hit the ball that individually ‘distinguishes’ them compared to the substance of their strokes. 


IF SPORTSMEN COULD SHED THE STYLE OF THEIR STROKES THEY WOULD SAVE MUCH ENERGY OR THE ENERGY COULD BE CHANNELED TOWARDS HITTING THE BALL FURTHER AND MORE ACCURATELY BUT ANYONE WHO CAN HIT THE BALL WITHOUT STYLE WILL SEE AND KNOW ALL SPORTS ARE MEANINGLESS AND WOULD NOT PARTAKE IN THEM. 


There are three possible causes why Geitner looks like a constipated man straining as he spoke: 


1)   Whatever speech that has constant prolonging, changing speed and loudness has to be rehashed that means the struggle to retrieve and replay it and requires much more for effort to have to prolong, change speed and loudness at the same time as you speak and therefore appears strained. 


2)   Often actors purposely talk in a strained, full of effort way to impress others because strained full of effort speech is perceived to be desired, reflects sincerity and thoughtfulness and therefore it is just an act, for show because it is deemed impressive. 


3)   Lastly, when something the person said is not quite true or he is lying or fearful of saying something that may have serious consequences for him, there is always resistance from the person’s force of self preservation that may have risen strongly even beyond his control to block his speech and he has to strain to overcome this resistance in order to say what he wants to say. 


BN truly incredible logic: 


BN wants the public to believe that they are not contesting the Penanti by election because the opposition is insincere, playing games. 


Because the explanation cannot be believed, it is not believable or incredible. 


If someone is offering you a chance to wrest a seat they hold, what does it matter if they are playing games or not, you are in politics to win and you accept the offer to contest and win even if it is a mad game PKR is playing. 


MOST OF THE TIME WHEN PEOPLE SPEAK OF SOMETHING BEING INCREDIBLE THEY ARE SPEAKING FALSELY BUT IN THIS CASE THE EXPLANATION OFFERED BY BN FOR NOT CONTESTING THE PENANTI BY ELECTION IS TRULY INCREDIBLE, UNBELIEVABLE BECAUSE PKR MUST BE MAD TO CALL FOR A BY ELECTION IN A SEAT THEY HOLD JUST FOR FUN OR TO BEAT THE BN AGAIN FOR FUN. 


There are nevertheless those who find BN’s explanation credible because they themselves have advanced false perception. 


Why quick recovery is a delusion: 


Recently Geitner spoke about a need to strengthen regulations so that those who guarantee derivatives like AIG have sufficient capital to meet contingencies.  


He and you may think he understands and speaks the truth but he may be speaking falsely because what is needed is not stricter rules and policing but derivatives are not viable and should be banned. 


IF DERIVATIVES ARE NOT VIABLE AND SHOULD BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY, THEN BY SPEAKING OF TIGHTER REGULATIONS IS HE NOT SPEAKING WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM & PROPAGATING A PROBLEM THAT MAY LEAD TO FUTURE DISASTERS? 


If companies like AIG do not have the capital requirements to guarantee derivatives, how many if any company has the capacity? If no company has the capital adequacy to back up derivatives then they should be banned and that is hitting the nail in the head and speaking the truth. 


Banks should guarantee the loans they make, if they do not, who else can guarantee? The reason they hive off those loans is because the loans are faulty, not quite prime as they like to make authorities and suckers who buy believe.  


If banks have to set aside considerable capital to backup the loans they make, they would have far less money to lend which means much less money for industry and consumers to borrow so how can the economy revert to the excesses of the past? Without excesses of the past, how can there be recovery to a hot economy? 


THE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPOKEN OF TO REPAIR THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM REFLECTS THE GRAVITY OF THE CRISIS AND IT IS LIKELY THAT A LOT OF THE LOANS MADE IN THE PAST ARE WASTEFUL AND SO THE DAMAGE DONE HAS TO BE REPAIRED. IF YOU LOST YOUR MONEY GAMBLING IN A CASINO, NOT ONLY HAVE YOU NOTHING TO SHOW FOR YOUR LOSS THAT CAN BE SOLD TO RECOVER SOME OF THE LOSS, BUT YOU HAVE TO REPAY FOR THE LOSSES THAT YOU SUSTAINED WITH BORROWED MONEY, SO HOW CAN YOU RECOVER SO QUICKLY? 


FURTHER, THE FACT THAT REGULATIONS & POLICING OF DERIVATIVES ARE TO BE TIGHTENED INDICATES THAT FROM NOW ON, BANKS AND THOSE WHO INSURE DERIVATIVES WILL HAVE TO SET ASIDE MUCH MORE MONEY AS CONTINGENCY AND THAT MEANS LESS MONEY TO LEND THAT WILL CRIMP THE ECONOMY. 


IN THE PAST, BANKS WERE LENDING WITHOUT THEIR PANTS ON AND NOW THAT BANKS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR THEIR PANTS HOW CAN THERE BE AS MUCH MONEY TO LEND AS BEFORE? WITHOUT AS MUCH MONEY TO LEND AS BEFORE HOW CAN THERE BE A FULL RECOVERY? FURTHER A LOT OF THE MOUNTAIN OF DEBTS FROM THE PAST WERE WASTEFUL, NON PRODUCTIVE SO THAT A LOT OF IT IS NOT JUST LOST PERMANENTLY BUT NEED TO BE REPAID. WHILST YOU ARE REPAYING FOR THE SINS OR DEBTS OF THE PAST, HOW CAN YOU FULLY RECOVER? 


THUS THOSE ON WALL STREET EAGERLY BETTING ON A RECOVERY ARE FOOLS DRIVEN BY GREED TO BOOK THEIR BETS FIRST AND GEITNER MAY BE EVADING RATHER THAN SPEAKING THE TRUTH THAT DERIVATIVES MUST BE REGULATED MORE TIGHTLY WHEN THEY SHOULD BE BANNED BECAUSE NOBODY CAN PROVIDE A SAFE GUARANTEE FOR DERIVATIVES. 


AND THERE ARE TROUBLES ON THE HORIZON IS THE FORM OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY DEBTS AND CREDIT CARDS. 


Today it was announced that US senate passed new laws on credit card companies that will curb sudden interest rises and hidden fees. If credit card companies have to come clean it will be less profitable for them to lend and if they lend less, the economy is going to suffer even if it is the responsible thing to do. 


Credit card bill will reduce lending: 


Quote: Edward Yingling, president of the American Bankers Association, said the credit card bill, if signed into law, would undermine the availability of credit. 


How can you revert to partying like before when the credit tap is tightened? 


Further it seems credit card companies may be forced to charge annual fees and curtail reward programs that will again cause borrowing to reduce. 


THE PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS DOES NOT SUFFER LOSS AND PAIN, THE PERSON WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IS DOOMED TO REPEAT HIS ERRORS AND BE CHEATED BY OTHERS. FOR ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, FOR RECOVERY TO BE SWIFT THIS CRISIS MUST BE A BLIP BUT IT IS NOT A BLIP BUT A MASSIVE SYSTEMIC FAILURE OF THE GOVERNANCE OF LENDING THAT WILL TAKE TIME TO REPAIR AND THE NEED TO SET ASIDE CAPITAL TO COVER LOANS MEANS LESS MONEY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR LENDING FROM NOW ON. 


A(H1N1): All eyes on returning students 


He and you may see nothing wrong with what he said and think the truth is spoken but it is not. 


It is impossible that all eyes are on the returning students, not even a majority of eyes are on the returning students but what is said is said deliberately or subconsciously to exaggerate. The truth is that returning students will be scrutinized by the relevant authorities and even then how meticulous it is may be open to conjecture. 


All eyes on returning student is a rehashed slogan “All eyes on XXX” that the person memorized usually copied from others because he found it attractive or it stirred his mental force attractively to be stuck on to situations that subsequently occur. 


Singapore's all-women team successfully summit Mt Everest 


Why is the item reported in Singapore’s papers? The reason may be because of National pride or emotion. What meaningful or productive benefit does climbing Everest accords? Is proof that Singaporeans and Singaporean women can do it a true or false for show meaning? 


Why do they climb Everest? If you ask them they might even admit that they do so to prove that they can do it, to challenge themselves, to attract attention to themselves, to bring fame to their nation. 


But all these are not valid reasons, they are false emotional reasons, you do not do something to prove you can do it or challenge yourself, you do it because there is something understandable to achieve like to escape pursuing enemies or there is knowledge up there of how to get to heaven to be obtained. 


YOU CAN LOSE YOUR LIFE CLIMBING EVEREST AND IT IS AN ARDOUS STRUGGLE. IF YOU CLIMBED EVEREST TO ESCAPE PURSUING ARMIES THEN THAT IS AN UNDERSTANDABLE REASON TO CLIMB EVEREST BUT IF YOU CLIMB EVEREST TO TEST YOURSELF, TO MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS, TO PROMOTE SINGAPORE, THEN YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING MAD THAT WILL END IN YOUR MADNESS. 


WHETHER YOU AND THEY LIKE IT OR NOT, THEY CLIMBED EVEREST FOR SILLY EMOTIONAL REASONS AND THAT IS CONTROLLED MADNESS THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLABLE MADNESS AND THE FACT THAT YOU NEVERTHELESS STILL INSIST IT IS MEANINGFUL, WORTHWHILE REFLECTS THE INTENSITY OF YOUR DELUSION AND YOU ARE DOOMED TO PERISH BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND EVEN AFTER IT IS EXPLAINED TO YOU. 


Simple arithmetic: 


If there are that many high quality borrowers out there, bankers would not have resorted to subprime borrowers in order to stoke lending during the boom and so now that the economy is without all these subprime borrowers a lot of hot air would be let out of the economy and it cannot re-inflate rapidly. 


If the economy had so much money to lent, bankers would not have to resort to lending their reserves by relegating responsibility for their loans to others through derivatives and now that bankers have to set aside capital for contingencies, how can they have so much money as before to lent? 


Thus these three factors will tend towards a cooling of the economy and retard recovery: 


1)   The removal of subprime borrowers means less borrowed money sloshing around heating up demand. 


2)   The need for bankers to set aside money as reserves for contingencies against default will mean less money for lending. 


3)   The immense debts built up by excesses of the past will not disappear into thin air by itself but will take time to digest and this means slow recovery. 


DRIVE ANYWHERE IN MALAYSIA, EVEN IN SMALL TOWNS AND YOU SEE NEW HOUSING ESTATES AFTER NEW HOUSING ESTATES. THE FOOL IS IMPRESSED AND PERCEIVES THAT THIS IS A SIGN OF STRENGTH IN THE ECONOMY WHILST I SEE GREAT DANGER. SUCH IS THE SCALE OF LENDING (BECAUSE FEW PEOPLE BUY HOUSES WITH CASH AND HOUSING TIES UP HUGE AMOUNTS OF CASH AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO REPAY) THAT SHOULD ANYTHING GO WRONG, THE FOUNDATIONS OF THIS CONSTRUCTION BOOM IS UNSTABLE, THERE WILL BE A GREAT CRASH. 


The Cinderella Economy: 


If the world economy was so good or truly good in the past, bankers would not have to resort to subprime borrowers to keep up the borrowing frenzy that stoked the previous boom. 


IT IS WAS BECAUSE THE WORLD ECONOMY WAS NOT SO GOOD, NOT TRULY GOOD THAT BANKERS HAD TO RESORT TO SUBPRIME BORROWERS TO KEEP THE BOOM GOING. 


If the world was so rich, bankers would not have to resort to lending money that should have been kept by them in reserve as contingency in case of default. 


IT IS BECAUSE THE WORLD WAS NOT AS WEALTHY AS IT APPEARED TO BE THAT BANKERS HAD TO DEVICE DERIVATIVES TO FALSELY DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR LOANS TO OTHERS SO THAT THEY CAN LEND ‘NO HOLDS BARRED’.  


THUS BY CONCLUSION THE QUALITY OF THE RECENT BOOM WAS NOT SO GOOD, NOT SO MUCH SUBSTANCE AS FROTH AND THE WORLD IS NOT AS AFFLUENT AS IT APPEARED TO BE AND NOW THAT WE HAVE TO REVERT TO REALITY, NO ONE WILL ACCEPT DERIVATIVES EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO SELL THEM, LIKE CINDERELLA WHEN THE CLOCK STRUCK MIDNIGHT, WE ARE BACK TO RAGS AND SO HOW CAN WE REVERT TO THE CONTRIVED BOOMING CONDITIONS OF THE PAST? 


Life began 4 billion years ago: 


Quote: "It opens up the possibility that life emerged as far back as 4.4 billion years ago, about the time the first oceans are thought to have formed," Abramov said in a statement. 


Scientists now think life could have begun 4 billion years ago although fossil records indicate less than a billion. 


The Buddha said that whenever the universe was contracting he went to the realm of streaming radiance which indicates there might be an opposite realm of suffering that is the repository for goats. 


Thus an eternity of punishment may be even greater than 4.4 billion years taking into account the time spent suffering when the universe was contracting.
