Tendencies:
All beings have tendencies to greater or lesser extent, beings trapped in the lower realms are either completely or largely ruled by tendencies.
Tendencies are about things that can be done or said in certain ways and so a person with a tendency has an inclination or urge to say or do certain things in certain way, programmed by themselves or others (society) and so he is a slave of his tendencies which dictate what he shall do or not do.
Anyone with tendencies suffers, he is driven by his tendencies to always do or say certain things in a certain stereotyped way and he is a robot.
Only the person freed of all tendencies does not suffer, the more tendencies you have the more you suffer.
An enlightened person is freed of all tendencies, he has no urge or inclination or liking to do or say certain things.
For instance some people have a tendency to be hostile whilst others have a tendency towards friendliness. Both are drives or urges and apart from being obedient robots of those programs, it is always suffering to have tendencies. The wise person has no tendency to be hostile or friendly. People think they are good because they are friendly. They are deluded, friendliness is a tendency or programming in them and it is suffering and bad. The wise has no urge to be friendly or nasty.
Some have a tendency to be interested in sex, money, art, philosophy, science or good food. They may not even be aware they have tendencies or predilections or likes and that they are driven by those tendencies than their masters. But whether you are aware or not, the person who has tendencies suffer, the person who TRULY (possible but rare in this world) has no tendencies is released, does not suffer and is truly master of himself.
ONLY A PERSON WHO TRULY HAS NO TENDENCIES IS A MASTER OF HIMSELF AND RELEASED FROM THE TORMENTING PRISON OF TENDENCIES. THINKING IS A TENDENCY THAT ENSLAVES THINKERS AND THE PERSON WHO CAN STOP THINKING AT WILL IS A PERSON FREED FROM THE TENDENCY FOR THINKING. LIKING AND DISLIKING IS A CONDITIONED TENDENCY. THE PERSON WHO CAN STOP LIKING & DISLIKING IS FREED FROM THE TENDENCY TO LIKE AND DISLIKE AND THAT IS A TRUE BLISSFUL RELEASE OF HIS CONSCIOUSNESS FROM THE PRISON OF LIKING AND DISLIKING.
IF YOU HAVE TENDENCIES AND YOU CANNOT SEE IT, YOU CANNOT SEE YOUR ACTION IS THE RESULT OF TENDENCY RATHER THAN THE SPECIFIC FOR THE OCCASION UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITUATION THEN YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AND YOU MUST SUFFER NOW AND EVEN FOR AN ETERNITY.
The karma of encouraging others to have tendencies:
You hear people giving advice like you should read more, eat more, have more sex, meet more girls, exercise more, take an interest in politics etc.
Such people are deluded, heaping karma to be experienced as pain in the future because they are trying to encourage tendencies in others.
IF YOU ARE PROMOTING TENDENCIES IN OTHERS AND YOU DO NOT REALIZE OR YOU THINK IT IS GOOD, YOU ARE DELUDED, HEAPING KARMA TO BE EXPERIENCED AS SUFFERING IN THE FUTURE.
Nethanyahu offers to build trust:
People think what they read makes great sense but it is actually nonsense and hypocritical.
All talk about trust and building trust is much ado about nothing and either hypocritical (insincere) or meaningless.
It is because the Arabs cannot see the truth or falsity of what the Israelis do or they see it as evil that they are suspicious or do not trust the actions and deeds of the Israelis and you need to talk of trust.
You cannot deceive another person; whatever is said or done can be known objectively as true or deceptive. It is only the gullible person or person receptive and accepting of falsity who can be deceived.
Thus if what you say or do is un-deceptive, it is not your fault the person cannot trust it, no amount of building trust can make the person see what you say or do is true. You only need to trust if you cannot see as true what is said or done, you use force to believe or accept as true what is said or done.
WHAT IS THE USE OF ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO USE FORCE TO ACCEPT AS TRUE OR TRUST WHAT HE DID NOT OR CANNOT SEE AS TRUE WHEN IT IS TRUE? EVEN AFTER HE TRUSTS YOU HE STILL CANNOT SEE IT IS TRUE. IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT HE DOES NOT SEE IT AS TRUE AND IT IS SILLY, USELESS TO SEEK TRUST.
IF ON THE OTHER HAND WHAT YOU SAY OR DO IS DECEITFUL AND YOU WANT TO SELL IT TO THE VICTIM THEN YOU MUST CULTIVATE HIS TRUST, YOU MUST WANT HIM TO TRUST YOU SO THAT HE CAN DELIVER HIMSELF TO YOU AND SO YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE.
EVERYTHING THAT IS SAID OR DONE CAN BE OBJECTIVELY KNOWN AS DECEPTIVE OR NOT, IF YOU CANNOT SEE IT AS SUCH, THEN YOU NEED TO USE FORCE TO BLINDLY ACCEPT IT AS TRUE OR TRUST. IT IS FOOLISH, DANGEROUS AND BLIND TO TRUST OR ACCEPT AS TRUE WHAT YOU DID NOT SEE AS TRUE. THE DISCERNING DO NOT NEED TO TRUST, HE EFFORTLESSLY SEES AS TRUE OR FALSE WHAT IS PROPOSED TO HIM, SO WHERE THE NEED TO SPEAK OF TRUST? IT IS NOT A MATTER OF TRUST BUT SEEING AS IT IS WHAT IS SAID IS TRUE OR DECEPTIVE.
All talk of trust is either senseless or a trick:
You hear politicians regularly implore the people to trust them and most if not all ordinary people do not know what to make of it.
When you seek others’ trust, you are sinning and encouraging others to sin.
You only need to trust someone or something said if you cannot see or know it is true and no matter how much force and how many times you reaffirm your trust you still cannot see it as true or false. It is harmful, dangerous to accept what you did not see as true is true and so the wise person will activate trust sparingly if at all.
THUS ANYONE WHO ADVOCATES TRUST IN OTHERS IS ADVOCATING WHAT IS HARMFUL AND DANGEROUS IN OTHERS AND IT IS MEANINGLESS EVEN CONTROLLED MADNESS TO USE FORCE TO ACCEPT AS TRUE WHAT YOU DID NOT SEE AS TRUE.
IF INSTEAD YOU ARE INSINCERE, WHAT YOU PROPOSE IS DECEPTIVE AND YOU WANT OTHERS TO DELIVER THEMSELVES TO YOU THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU SPEAK OF TRUST, THAT THEY SHOULD BLINDLY USE FORCE TO ACCEPT WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE AS TRUE.
ANYONE WHO TALKS OF TRUST IS DALLYING WITH SIN AND HEAPING KARMA ON HIMSELF. IT IS ALSO POINTLESS OR MEANINGLESS TO USE FORCE TO ACCEPT AS TRUE WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE AS TRUE.
Why do you want others to trust you?
The reason why people want others to trust them is because there is material advantage or gain to obtain others’ trust or what they say is deceptive or harmful and they want to exert greater pressure by asking for trust so that you will deliver yourself to him.
IF THERE IS NO MATERIAL SELF ADVANTAGE TO WHAT YOU SAY AND WHAT YOU SAY OR PROPOSE IS NOT HARMFUL BUT BENEFICIAL TO OTHERS THERE IS NO NEED TO ASK FOR TRUST.
THUS IT IS NEVER MERITORIOUS BUT KARMA INCURRING TO ASK FOR TRUST UNLESS YOU ARE WHOLESOME LIKE THE BUDDHA AND JESUS. TRUST IS MEANINGLESS AND ONLY NECESSARY TO DELIVER OTHERS TO YOU TO YOUR MATERIAL ADVANTAGE.
The absurdity of trust:
If you can see (as is possible without the person himself admitting) that something said is sincere or deceptive, what is there to trust or not trust? It is just sincere or insincere as you see.
If you cannot see that something is true or false, then all the trust in the world cannot make you see what is said is true or false, so what is the point in using force to accept what you cannot see as true is true except you are blindly foolishly delivering yourself into the hands of others.
Thus only someone manipulative, who has ulterior motive wants others to trust him.
THE PERSON WHO PERCEIVES TRUST AS MEANINGLESS, ABSURD PERCEIVES AND UNDERSTANDS TRULY, THE PERSON WHO PERCEIVES TRUST AS MEANINGFUL, IMPORTANT HAS FALSE PERCEPTION AND UNDERSTANDING AND BECAUSE ORDINARY PEOPLE PERCEIVE TRUST AS MEANINGFUL, THEY PERCEIVE AND UNDERSTAND FALSELY HERE AS IN MANY PLACES THEY THINK THEY UNDERSTAND.
You cannot hide your nature from others:
You cannot hide your true nature and the true nature of what you say or do from others who truly see and understand, only to those who cannot truly understand.
A person’s true nature is fully visible from his appearance, the way and what he speaks and does. Thus a person who truly sees and understands sees truly the nature of the person and what is said or done, so what is there for him to trust or not trust.
If you cannot see the true nature of the person and what he is saying then all the more you should not trust or blindly use force to deliver yourself to him except that you are a fool.
IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUE NATURE OF A PERSON OR WHAT HE IS PROPOSING, ALL THE MORE YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST HIM EXCEPT THAT YOU ARE A FOOL RISKING HIS NECK UNNECESSARILY.
THE TRUE NATURE OF A PERSON AND WHAT HE IS SAYING IS FULLY VISIBLE TO THOSE WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND AND SO HE DOES NOT NEED TO TRUST ANYONE. IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUE NATURE OF SOMEONE OR WHAT IS PROPOSED, ALL THE MORE YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST HIM.
Revenge of the machines:
There is such a thing called revenge but only beings not machines are capable of revenge thus anyone who speaks of the revenge of the machines is speaking falsely and practicing false perception that will end in his mad perception that machines can practice revenge. He is also accruing karma for himself to be experienced as suffering for fostering similar false perception in others.
You see nothing in such ‘colourful’ language but you too may have false understanding, unless you want suffering you should refrain from such language.
Trust her?
Those who do not truly understand are taken in by her ‘good’ looks and ‘alluring’ smile to like or be attracted to her and therefore trust her.
Those who see truly see the sly or deceptive look in her eyes, the provocative or seductive smile knows she is evil, and trusting her is out of the question.
IF YOU CANNOT SEE OR YOU SEE FALSELY THAT HER GOOD LOOKS AND SMILES ARE GOOD THEN YOU WILL BE TAKEN IN TO TRUST HER. IF YOU SEE CLEARLY THAT THE LOOK OF HER EYES AND SMILE IS SLY, MANIPULATIVE THEN THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT TRUSTING HER.
NO MATTER HOW ALLURING, YOU WILL GET SICK AND TIRED AFTER THE EXCITEMENT OR LUST IS ‘SATED’. SHE IS A TEMPTRESS AND THAT IS NEVER GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE SMITTEN FOOL.
Trust is blind dependency and always evil:
Trust is not just dependency but a dependency that is based on not seeing and therefore even more evil than dependency that the Buddha said is evil.
The Buddha said that whoever has a dependency has a wavering, whoever has no dependency has no wavering and therefore all dependencies are evil, what more dependencies that are blind namely trust.
Nibbana Sutta: Total Unbinding (4)
One who is dependent has wavering. One who is independent has no wavering. There being no wavering, there is calm. There being calm, there is no desire. There being no desire, there is no coming or going. There being no coming or going, there is no passing away or arising. There being no passing away or arising, there is neither a here nor a there nor a between-the-two. This, just this, is the end of stress.
Trust Netanyahu? If you can see his true nature, the question does not arise. If think you can trust a crocodile or tiger then go ahead. If it suits him he will benefit you but if it does not suit him, then you are at risk.
The Buddha speaks of cosmic contractions:
What Jesus described as stars falling from the sky and the sun and moon refusing to shine fits with a black hole. In the same way the Buddha spoke of cosmic expansions and contractions that would again fit in with a black hole ending out Age.
Quote: "If he wants, he recollects his manifold past lives (lit: previous homes), many aeons of cosmic contraction (backhole), many aeons of cosmic expansion (big bang).
"In the same way, a monk intent on heightened mind should attend periodically to three themes: he should attend periodically to concentration; periodically to uplifted energy; he should attend periodically to equanimity. Doing so his mind is pliant, luminous, and not brittle. It is rightly centered for the stopping of the fermentations.
"And then whichever of the higher knowledges he turns his mind to know & realize, he can witness them for himself whenever there is an opening.
"If he wants, he wields manifold supranormal powers. Having been one he becomes many; having been many he becomes one. He appears. He vanishes. He goes unimpeded through walls, ramparts, and mountains as if through space. He dives in and out of the earth as if it were water. He walks on water without sinking as if it were dry land. Sitting crosslegged he flies through the air like a winged bird. With his hand he touches and strokes even the sun and moon, so mighty and powerful. He exercises influence with his body even as far as the Brahma worlds.
"If he wants, he hears -- by means of the divine ear-element, purified and surpassing the human -- both kinds of sounds: divine and human, whether near or far.
"If he wants, he knows the awareness of other beings, other individuals, having encompassed it with his own awareness.
"If he wants, he recollects his manifold past lives (lit: previous homes), many aeons of cosmic contraction, many aeons of cosmic expansion.
"If he wants, he sees -- by means of the divine eye, -- beings passing away and re-appearing, and he discerns how they are inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate in accordance with their kamma.
"If he wants, then through the ending of the mental effluents, he remains in the effluent-free release of awareness and release of discernment.
RPK: Yes, I am a stubborn bastard
Normally it is your adversary who decry you as a stubborn bastard to insult you and RPK is saying what is hurtful and unpleasant (being a stubborn bastard) is pleasant with the emotional purpose of thumbing the nose at his adversary (being sarcastic). This is never the truth but indulging in falsity that leads to suffering.
IT IS PAINFUL ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IS PAINFUL, TO SAY DEFIANTLY THAT WHAT IS PAINFUL (BEING LABELLED A BASTARD) IS PLEASURABLE IS COURTING AGONY, INSANITY.
Madoff’s nose and ribs broken:
Most people do not care nor appreciate Madoff’s plight which is the fruit of his actions not realizing they face a similar fate as him.
Apart from the Spartan prison conditions, lack of freedom, there is lurking constant fear of assault by murderous fellow inmates that will be intensified now that he has been seriously assaulted with a broken nose and fractured ribs. This is the first instalment of many episodes of pain and grief to come that makes the pleasures of his sin a meagre ephemeral prize.
THE INEVITABLE SUFFERING THAT COMES FROM REPAYMENT FOR SINS IS FAR WORSE AND MORE PROLONGED THAN WHATEVER MATERIAL AND SENSATE GAINS YOU MAY OBTAIN FOR YOUR SINS. TURN A BLIND EYE TO YOUR FOLLIES, THINK THAT YOU ARE QUITE GOOD OR NOT TOO BAD BUT WHEN THE TIME COMES TO REPAY YOU MAY WEEP AND REGRET LIKE MADOFF MUST.
One Malaysia is a clone of One Israel:
Apparently One Malaysia is a product of a public relations company Apco that was also responsible for the previous One Israel propaganda.
What is not denied is that Apco is the corporation chosen by Najib to push the 1Malaysia concept.
Abdar Rahman Koya, Harakah Daily
The name Apco Worldwide has suddenly gained fame (or notoriety) in Malaysia after Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim drew comparison of the firm's image-building campaign for its Malaysian client to a similar campaign by the Israeli government.
Anwar in his speech in the Dewan Rakyat on March 17 said that prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's 1Malaysia concept was actually an imitation of the 'One Israel' concept of the Zionist regime, who is also a client of Apco.
One Malaysia is about being a robot:
One Malaysia does not exist but it is a fabrication with the (futile) intention of uniting citizens (not under the opposition) but under the BN so that it can continue to be lord of the land and whatever material benefits accruing to its ruling elite.
It is meaningless, for show and cost a lot of wasted money not belonging to politicians but the public.
One Malaysia is a creed or programming and in order for it to work, the public must be aware of its creed, memorize it and act accordingly in effect making them robots obeying and practicing the One Malaysia concept. It is tormenting never freedom to be a robot and whoever advocating being a robot has deadly karma.
ONE MALAYSIA AND ITS ILK ARE ABOUT STYLE, FOR SHOW NOT SUBSTANCE, WHATEVER SUBSTANCE THERE IS, IS ABOUT CONVERTING PEOPLE INTO MINDLESS ADHERENTS PRACTICING THE PRINCIPLES THAT MAY NOT BE WHOLESOME (EG WORKING FOR MATERIAL GAME AND GLORY OF COUNTRY).
IN ORDER FOR ONE MALAYSIA TO WORK, PEOPLE MUST LEARN, MEMORIZE AND PUT INTO PRACTICE ITS CREEDS AND PRINCIPLES AND THAT DE FACTO IS CONVERSION TO BECOME A MINDLESS EXPONENT OF ONE MALAYSIA (WHICH IS UNLIKELY TO BE ACHIEVED EVEN IN A MODEST SCALE, EVEN ITS CHAMPIONS MAY NOT PRACTICE THEMSELVES).
Tom Jones wows crowds:
If the person truly understands what he said he would have understood what he said is meaningless and therefore not said it, it is because he falsely understood what he said as full of meaning that he said.
What he means is that Tom Jones stirred the mental forces of the crowd attractively. What is the meaning of the stirring of mental force that is blind and meaningless?
WOWING IS ABOUT STIRRING MENTAL FORCE TO BE EXCITED OR ATTRACTED AND IT IS MEANINGLESS, BLIND, STRESSFUL, HARMS THE MIND PERMANENTLY AND FOOD THAT DOES NOT LAST AND SO HE IS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING MEANINGLESS.
ANYONE WHO FINDS ‘WOW’ MEANINGFUL IS HEADED FOR PERISHING.
Israelis just as inane as Malaysia:
The fact that Israel has deemed it fit to carry out a One Israel campaign indicates that they are no better, just as inane or silly as Malaysia.
Mankind is foolish, they think they are wise but they are all falsely understanding robots.
ANYONE WHO WILL CONTEMPLATE LET ALONE CARRY OUT THE CONCEPT OF ONE ISRAEL IS A FOOL AND SO ISRAEL TOO IS FOOLISH.
One Malaysia & Israel Is A Gimmick:
A gimmick is something that is for show to impress and does not work as touted. Thus new cars can come with new features that are gimmicks to attract and do not work like spoilers, go fast stripes.
WHETHER SOMETHING WILL WORK OR NOT, WORKS OR DOES NOT WORK IS OBJECTIVE, IF IT IS A GIMMICK AND YOU PERCEIVE IT IS MEANINGFUL AND WORKS YOU ARE DELUDED AND THAT IS NOT THE PATH TO SAFETY BUT TORMENT.
iPods made in China:
Apple is an American company but it makes its iPods that it sells for good profit in the US in China.
Herein lies an important cause of intractable American recession. Its own companies are abandoning it as a manufacturing base in favour of China and that deprives the American market where it makes most of its profits of the employment needed to supply the consumer power needed for its continued success and so with the death of the American consumer, Apple too will be threatened.
Some of the forex China earns may not belong to China but multinationals like Apple who are happy to keep the money in yuan hoping to make more when it is revalued.
According to the article below, even if the yuan was revalued 25% the price of US goods will still be unaffordable by most Chinese and so the hope that revaluation would boost US exports may be delusional.
It is not so much undervaluation but America feeding at the trough, printing USD at will to cover purchases it actually cannot afford and the feckless self serving relocation of manufacturing to China by American companies seeking maximal profits that is the cause of the current economic crisis. Thus American companies should be targeted.
Krugman has a audience by nature of his celebrity and so congressmen tend be influenced by his deluded mumblings and so he has great karma for his irresponsible emotional charged deluded rantings.
SLAP TARIFFS ON IPODS NOT ON CHINESE EXPORTS.
Paul Krugman, the Nobel prize winner who threatens the world
Paul Krugman, an American economist, wants to start a trade war with China. It would be worse than the 1930s, says Jeremy Warner.

Paul Krugman wants to whack a 25 per cent tariff on Chinese goods Photo: AP
When the self-proclaimed "conscience of liberal America" and a one-time free trader to boot starts arguing for protectionism, you know that things have come to a pretty pass. But that's what's happened over the past week.
Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, has taken to advocating a 25 per cent "surcharge" – he refuses to use the more descriptive term of "import tariff" – on goods from China as a way of bringing the Chinese leadership to heel over currency reform. So potentially dangerous and out of character is this idea that when I first read it, I assumed he was being ironic. But sometimes the cleverest of people can also be the most stupid, and he's now said it so often that you have to believe he's serious.
What he's advocating is trade retaliation so extreme that it would make the 1930s look like a stroll in the park. Contrary to Professor Krugman's naïve assumption that the Chinese would soon cave in and allow their currency to float if confronted by such hard-ball tactics, I am certain that nothing is more guaranteed to produce the opposite response.
Professor Krugman's suggestion mines a rich seam of populist US thinking and rhetoric which grows ever more vocal and worrying as the recession persists. What makes Krugman and other highly regarded economists who tow the same line so dangerous is that they give intellectual respectability to a fundamentally disreputable idea.
Unlike Britain, America doesn't really do free-traders. Even progressives, though they may pretend otherwise, are protectionists at heart. And there is a good reason for it. The US is still a largely internalised, self-reliant economy for which trade with the outside world is relatively unimportant. Many Americans have long thought they don't much benefit from globalisation and that they would be better off behind high, protectionist walls. When times are tough, these arguments find ever more traction.
I don't want to be unfair on Professor Krugman, for he proposes tariffs only as retaliation against China for supposedly manipulating currency markets to gain unfair competitive advantage. The evidence is admittedly overwhelming, and if next month's biannual currency report by the US Treasury were to set all diplomatic considerations aside, it would undoubtedly find China guilty of manipulation.
In the good times, the mercantilism of Chinese currency intervention was grudgingly tolerated. In return for carrying big current account deficits, America got cheap goods and cheap money. But now, with the advent of the Great Recession, the arrangement looks far from mutually beneficial. The US, it is argued, cannot forever be expected to keep accumulating debt to spend on other countries' exports. It's got to stop.
According to estimates by the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics, reducing the current account deficit to a more manageable level of 3 per cent of GDP, worth around $150 billion annually in export growth and import substitution, would create up to 1.5 million jobs. That's not huge in the context of a population of more than 300 million, but it's as good as any fiscal stimulus and, what's more, it is apparently cost-free.
Except of course that it is not. An outbreak of protectionism is just what the still-fragile economic recovery doesn't need. China makes an easy scapegoat for America's ills, but it is not the cause, nor would making it revalue its currency provide the solution. The debate is echoed in Europe, where Germany – an exporter second only to China – finds itself blamed for the eurozone crisis. If only Germany would make itself less competitive, if only Germany would save, invest and export less, then everybody else would be fine. The virtuous find themselves depicted as the villainous. If the argument were not so perverse, it would be laughable.
Let us briefly consider what would happen if Professor Krugman got his way and there was either a 25 per cent devaluation of the dollar against the renminbi or 25 per cent import duties. Almost overnight China would sink into a deep recession as exporters already operating on wafer-thin margins were plunged into insolvency.
American business, which relies heavily on China as the assembly plant of choice (guess where iPods are made), would also find itself deep in the mire. Even in the long term, the revaluation would scarcely be more helpful. Over time, Chinese wages would merely deflate relative to US ones to make exports competitive again.
The answer to these trade imbalances lies in structural reform. Regrettably, the changes necessary to produce the virtuous circle of growing trade and prosperity that everyone aspires to cannot occur overnight. Even with a 25 per cent adjustment in the currency, American goods would still be far out of reach of most Chinese consumers.
It will take time for domestic demand to reach the levels necessary to mop up the capacity of its formidable export machine. But China is transforming itself as fast as it dares. Sadly, the same cannot be said of the US, where even great thinkers like Krugman are drawn relentlessly back to the tried and failed policies of the past.
How to truly redress the trade imbalance:
It is easy to identify the American companies manufacturing in China, impose import duties on these products as a punishment for depriving Americans of employment and use that money to supply employment to unemployed Americans.
IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN COMPANY MAKING PROFITS IN AMERICA AND YOU DO NOT MANUFACTURE IN AMERICA THEN SURELY OF ALL PEOPLE TO PENALIZE YOU SHOULD PENALIZE THESE 'TRAITORS'.
The conscience of a liberal:
There is nothing liberal or rightwing or whatever of true conscience. True conscience is just conscience and nothing else and so it reflects delusion that you perceive yourself as the conscience of a liberal as Krugman touts himself.
By saying you are the conscience of a liberal you imply there is the conscience of the rightwing that is different. If two consciences are different, only one can be right or both wrong, never both right.
Thus either your conscience of the liberal is right or it is also wrong like the conscience of a ‘right winger’.
If your conscience of a liberal is also wrong, what is the point of having and broadcasting such a conscience? Therefore you are implying your conscience is true and thus conscience has a liberal nature and that is delusion.
IN TRUTH KRUGMAN’S CONSCIENCE OF A LIBERAL TOO IS SO MUCH NONSENSE, DELUDED, CAN BE PROVEN OBJECTIVELY TO BE FALSE, NOT GOOD AND HE IS DELUDED BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LIBERAL ABOUT CONSCIENCE.
There is nothing truly liberal about a person:
There is nothing truly liberal or rightwing about anybody, whatever is liberal is contrived and false and reflects self identity views that the Buddha said is one of five lower fetters that is the path to future woe and that is not heaven.
There are generally agreed upon ideals or characteristics that describes a liberal and so in order to be a liberal, you must know approximately or precisely what those characteristics are and strive to live by and perfect those characteristics in you not realizing you are committing yourself to be a robot espousing liberal ideals that is the path to torment.
TRUTH IS NEVER LIBERAL OR RIGHTWING. TRUTH IS JUST TRUTH AND SO ANYONE WHO STRIVES TO BE LIBERAL OR RIGHTWING IS MOULDING HIMSELF ARTIFICIALLY THAT WILL END IN TORMENTING INSANITY.
THERE IS NOTHING TRULY OR GENUINELY LIBERAL ABOUT ANYONE, IT IS CONTRIVED OR FABRICATED LIKE A SET OF CLOTHES PUT ON AND THE PERSON THEN THINKS THE CLOTHES (LIBERALISM) IS HIM.

Serious mistakes or wrong?
Pope Benedict XVI apologises to victims of child sex abuse by priests in Ireland and says bishops made "serious mistakes".
Are the actions wrong or serious mistakes?
If the actions are wrong it should be called wrong rather than serious mistakes that have the motive of absolving the perpetrators in permitting such sexual abuses to continue and is an indication the contriteness is not true or complete but a concession in the face of public wrath.
WHATEVER IT IS, THE ACTIONS TAKEN WERE WRONG AND SHOULD BE LABELLED AS SUCH RATHER THAN SERIOUS MISTAKES WHICH IS EXONERATING AND INDICATES SHIRKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY.
There is no such thing as a mistake:
JESUS SAID YOU WILL BE JUDGED FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD YOU SAY, SO MISTAKE OR NO MISTAKE, CARELESS OR CAREFUL, YOU WILL BE JUDGED AND PAY FOR YOUR CARELESSNESS.
In Buddhism there is no such thing as a mistake, what you say or do is either right or wrong, never a mistake.
There are many emotional people who will be stirred to protest surely mistakes happen not realizing they have false understanding here as everywhere else they think their understanding is right.
They may say surely when someone makes a wrong turning because he is unfamiliar with the locality that is a mistake? That is not a mistake but you made the wrong turning because you are unfamiliar with the locality.
IT WAS NOT A MISTAKE THAT MADE YOU MAKE A WRONG TURNING BUT IT HAS A CAUSE AND THAT CAUSE IS THAT YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE LOCALITY OR SIGNS WERE MISLEADING OR YOU FAILED TO SEE THE SIGN. THUS IT IS ERRONEOUS OR WRONG TO SAY IT WAS A MISTAKE.
A PERSON CAN DO SOMETHING THAT HE SUBSEQUENTLY REALIZED WAS WRONG OR HARMFUL AND THAT IS NOT A MISTAKE BUT IGNORANCE OR PREVIOUS WRONG VIEW.
ANOTHER SOURCE OF MISTAKE IS IF YOU ARE A ROBOT AND YOU INTENDED TO CUE IN RESPONSE ‘A’ BUT YOU ‘ACCIDENTALLY’ CUED IN RESPONSE ‘B’ OR YOUR MENTAL PARROT AUTOMATICALLY CUED IN ‘B’ INSTEAD OF ‘A’. EVEN IF IT WAS YOUR MENTAL JUKEBOX THAT CUED IN THE WRONG RESPONSE, AS OWNER OF THE JUKEBOX YOU ARE STILL ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT PERSONALLY CONDUCTING AFFAIRS BUT ENTRUSTING YOUR MENTAL JUKEBOX.
ANOTHER EXCUSE FOR A MISTAKE IS THAT HE WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION, HE DID NOT SEE, THAT TOO IS AN EXCUSE. IF YOU DID SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG OR HARMFUL WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION YOU ARE STILL CULPABLE, IT IS NOT A MISTAKE.
IT MAY BE TRUE THERE IS SUCH A THING CALLED A MISTAKE OR IT MAY BE YOUR FALSE PERCEPTION AND UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS SO. JESUS SAID YOU WILL BE JUDGED FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD, SO MISTAKE OR NO MISTAKE, CARELESS OR CAREFUL, YOU WILL BE JUDGED AND PAY FOR YOUR CARELESSNESS.
So what is the purpose of mistake?
The purpose of summoning ‘mistake’ is to shirk or disclaim or diminish or displace responsibility from self to others or nature.
By ‘mistake’ people are saying they did not intend it, it was unintentional, not purposely and so their responsibility is diminished or nil.
And it reflects the advanced false perception of emotional people that they perceive mistakes do happen and buy into the mistake argument of others.
Supporting someone’s leadership:
You often hear people enthusiastically voicing their support for another eg I support Badawi’s leadership or his candidacy without realizing that what is stated is wrong and foolish.
By voicing your support you are giving a blind blanket endorsement or backing with force not understanding.
The person who understands never supports anyone eg as leader but depending on the issue arising, he specifically approves or disapproves of eg Badawi’s action as leader.
IT REFLECTS A PERSON DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, HE IS PARTISAN OR BIAS THAT HE GIVES BLANKET SUPPORT FOR ANOTHER AS LEADER. THE PERSON WHO TRULY UNDERSTANDS NEVER PROFFER UNQUALIFIED SUPPORT, DEPENDING ON THE ISSUE AT HAND, HE APPROVES AND ASSIST, NOT USE BLIND FORCE TO SUPPORT THE LEADER.
THUS HERE AS ELSEWHERE PEOPLE THINK THEY UNDERSTAND BUT THEY UNDERSTAND FALSELY.
You need force not reason to support:
You need force, never reason to support someone or a cause, to use force to defend and stand with someone.
The relevant matter about anything is whether it is right or wrong, whether having understood you approve or disapprove of it and you may then assist or not assist.
Even if you are right and there is opposition then the right action is not to fight or defend or support but to deny yourself as Jesus said, to give away. To give way is not to say you are wrong but you relinquish your right or abandon.
THE RELEVANT ASPECT OF ANY ISSUE IS WHETHER IT IS RIGHT (APPROVABLE) OR WRONG (DISAPPROVABLE), SHOULD THERE BE OPPOSITION THEN THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS NOT USING FORCE TO SUPPORT BUT TO DENY YOURSELF, TO ABANDON.
Support denotes bias approval denotes self identity:
Declaration of support for a person is like issuing a blank check and denotes partisanship or bias that is always based on like and dislike or force and is blind and dangerous and the person who declares his support for this and that is a dangerous fool who does not understand only out to further his selfish agenda.
Would you issue a blank check to someone? If you won’t then the reason you will issue a blank check of support must be for some reason, you expect some returns as when the politician becomes PM he rewards you.
Approval of someone or his proposal requires self identity, someone namely you to approve another’s deeds and that is self identity the Buddha said is the way to future woe.
For the person who is truly above the fray, who truly understands and has no self identity views, whatever is proposed can only be true or false, right or wrong, beneficial or harmful, it does not require his approval nor use of force to support or defend or uphold.
THUS THE PERSON WHO ENTHUSIASTICALLY DECLARES HIS SUPPORT FOR SO AND SO IS A FOOL AND WHAT HE SAYS IS MEANINGLESS & FALSE BECAUSE SUPPORT FOR SOMEONE IS ABOUT USING FORCE THAT IS MEANINGLESS TO DEFEND SOMEONE NO MATTER WHAT THE ISSUE IS, SO LONG AS IT IS ESPOUSED BY HIM. WHAT HE SAID IS FALSE BECAUSE HE CANNOT MEAN IT, THERE WILL BE SOME ISSUES WHERE HE WILL BE UPSET AND WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS PERSON AS HE SAID HE WILL AND SO WHAT HE SAID, I SUPPORT SO AND SO IS FALSE, BASED ON THE EMOTION OF THE MOMENT THAN TRUTH.
You trust him?
This is the British Opposition leader.
He is screwing up the muscles around his eyes to see and think that reflects he is a man who does not understand or understands falsely.
Force is the wrong tool to use to see and think, the right tool is a calm unified clarity of mind. No matter how hard or how much force you use to think or see, force will not deliver the truth but instead because force is blind and blinding, the more force you use to see and think, the more you cannot see and think the truth.
NOT ONLY IS FORCE THE TOTALLY WRONG TOOL TO USE TO SEE AND THINK, IT SUBJECTS THE MIND TO FORCE THAT LEADS TO STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT THEN IMPEDES AND PREVENTS GENUINE SEEING AND THUSE UNDERSTANDING.
THERE IS ANGER IN HIS FACE, THAT IS STIRRED REPULSION AND HE IS USING EXCESSIVE FORCE THAT IS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY TO SEE BUT NOT SEE (HE IS STARING BUT HIS MIND IS ELSEWHERE NOT WHERE HIS EYES ARE SEEING). HE IS ACTUALLY THINKING AND USING FORCE NOT UNDERSTANDING TO THINK AND HIS SEEING IS BLANK, HE LOOKS AT SOMETHING BUT HIS MIND IS ELSEWHERE.
ANYONE WHO TRUSTS HIM IS A FOOL.
What is the right tool for seeing and thinking?
The right tool to use to see and think truly is calm concentration or unity of the mind and in order to obtain such a mind it must be free of force.
A mind where force is non-active is automatically calm and unified and it is with such a mind that a person truly sees and thus truly understands the meaning of what he sees.
Emotional people have been conditioned to automatically use force to see and think, the more he cannot see or think, the more force he exerts or uses and that is self defeating because the more force he uses to see and think, the more he cannot see and think truly that will end in delusion and thence insanity.
CALM UNIFICATION OR CONCENTRATION OF THE MIND IS THE CORRECT TOOL TO USE TO SEE AND THINK AND THAT MEANS THERE MUST NOT BE ANY STIRRED FORCE, ANY STIRRED LIKING, DISLIKING, SADNESS, HURT, CONFUSION OR FEAR. A MIND ROILED BY LIKE, DISLIKE, SADNESS, HURT, CONFUSION AND FEAR CANNOT SEE AND THINK CLEARLY. FACED WITH DIFFICULTY IN SEEING OR THINKING THE EMOTIONAL PERSON SUMMONS FORCE, HE USES MORE FORCE TO SEE AND THINK AND THAT IS FOOLISH OR DELUSION.
No chance emotional people should see or think the truth:
Emotional stylish people think they see and think the truth but it is a delusion. In fact there is no danger, risk or chance that they should ever ‘accidentally’ see and think the truth. Even placed before them, reiterated before them, they neither see nor know the truth, truth is the last thing they can see or understand.
What is the cause that they cannot see the truth?
The cause is simply because there is always added unnecessary blind force in their seeing and it is this blind added unnecessary force in their seeing that renders it impossible that they should ever see and think the truth. In addition they always see and think emotionally (with liking, disliking, sadness, hurt, confusion and fear) and this accompanying emotion colours and prevents them ever seeing and thinking the truth.
UNTIL THEY STOP USING ADDED FORCE TO SEE AND THINK, EMOTIONAL STYLISH PEOPLE CAN NEVER SEE OR THINK THE TRUTH INSTEAD THEIR PERVERSE RESPONSE WHEN STRUGGLING TO SEE AND THINK IS TO INCREASE THE ADDED FORCE IN THEIR SEEING AND THINKING THAT RENDERS IT EVEN MORE IMPOSSIBLE THAT THEY SHOULD SEE AND THINK THE TRUTH.
SEEING AND THINKING WITH EMOTION AND ADDED FORCE THAT IS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY, BLINDING, STRESSFUL, RESTLESS AND DISTRACTING RENDERS IT IMPOSSIBLE THAT EMOTIONAL STYLISH PEOPLE CAN EVER TRULY SEE AND THINK THE TRUTH. WHEN FACED WITH DIFFICULTY SEEING AND THINKING THEY ADD MORE FORCE IN THEIR SEEING AND THINKING THAT RENDERS IT EVEN MORE IMPOSSIBLE THAT THEY SHOULD THEN SEE AND THINK THE TRUTH.
Under the spell of force:
Emotional stylish people may perceive in delusion that their mental force is their best friend and protector, force is meaningful and good but their minds are actually under the spell of force, blinded by mental force and so there is no chance they should ever see or think the truth under the spell of blinding force.
As the Buddha said, for those who cannot see (because their mind is totally under the spell of force) it is utter darkness and in darkness they are led to torment and suffering that is as vast as an ocean and as long as an eternity.
"What others call happiness, that the Noble Ones declare to be suffering. What others call suffering, that the Noble Ones have found to be happiness. See how difficult it is to understand the Dhamma! For those under the veil (of ignorance) it is obscured, for those who cannot see it is utter darkness. But for the good and the wise it is as obvious as the light for those who can see. Even though close to it, the witless who do not know the Dhamma, do not comprehend it.
WHAT THE BUDDHA IS SAYING IS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH AND IT IS NOT JUST RELIGIOUS TRUTH THAT THEY CANNOT SEE BUT ALWAYS THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH. TRUTH IS THE TRUTH, THERE IS NOTHING RELIGIOUS OR NON RELIGIOUS ABOUT TRUTH, WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CALL TRUTH THAT THEY SEE IS DELUSION.
SO LONG AS A PERSON’S MIND IS UNDER THE SPELL OF FORCE, UNDER THE SPELL OF WHAT IS BLIND AND BLINDING HE CANNOT SEE OR SEE FALSELY ALWAYS NOT SOME OF THE TIME AND NO MATTER HOW HE MAY DELUDE HIMSELF HE SEES AND UNDERSTANDS, HE MUST SUFFER AND IS HEADED FOR SUFFERING THAT IS AS VAST AS AN OCEAN.
Shouldn’t Krugman understand economics?
Krugman is highly qualified in his field and looked up to by a section of the populace and he should understand economic. However his views as articulated below is at variance with my views and so if I am correct he is deluded and if he is deluded in economic matters, interpret falsely the data open for the public to see, what hope has ordinary people to understand global economics?
Krugman accuses China of artificially selling yuan to buy foreign currencies to keep the yuan weak and make its exports artificially competitive.
Quote Krugman: To give you a sense of the problem: Widespread complaints that China was manipulating its currency — selling renminbi and buying foreign currencies, so as to keep the renminbi weak and China’s exports artificially competitive — began around 2003. At that point China was adding about $10 billion a month to its reserves, and in 2003 it ran an overall surplus on its current account — a broad measure of the trade balance — of $46 billion.
It is impossible that Krugman knows that is true but he is conjecturing, driven by paranoia. He may be right or wrong. If Malaysia was to sell its ringgit cheaply for foreign currencies with a deteriorating balance of payment, how many takers will there be? It may be because of hot money wanting to get into China, investors wanting to invest or set up factories in China that there is a big demand for yuan and does Krugman mean that China must raise its yuan value just because foreigners want to buy yuan?
Quote Krugman: Today, China is adding more than $30 billion a month to its $2.4 trillion hoard of reserves. The International Monetary Fund expects China to have a 2010 current surplus of more than $450 billion — 10 times the 2003 figure. This is the most distortionary exchange rate policy any major nation has ever followed.
Comment: China may be adding $30 billion a month to its hoard but is all this addition due to trade or could there be other source like hot money seeking to speculate in China. Without ascertaining the source of this money you are irresponsible fingering China. Further how much of this hoard of money actually belongs to China and how much belong to speculators and multinationals manufacturing in China and therefore does not truly belong to China. Suppose a significant proportion does not belong to China then you are misrepresenting without telling the whole story.
Krugman: And it’s a policy that seriously damages the rest of the world. Most of the world’s large economies are stuck in a liquidity trap — deeply depressed, but unable to generate a recovery by cutting interest rates because the relevant rates are already near zero. China, by engineering an unwarranted trade surplus, is in effect imposing an anti-stimulus on these economies, which they can’t offset.
Comment: Just because the world is in big trouble does not mean China is to be blamed or it should ride to the rescue. Does God have to ride to the rescue just because the world is in economic trouble all due to its fecklessness?
A 25% revaluation in the yuan may not turn around the fortunes of America’s economy and if it is not the source of the trouble Krugman is deluded to perceive it is the panacea. The problem may be an incurable shift in wealth from the many to the few who cannot spend enough to stimulate the economy and American industries relocating overseas causing unemployment for Americans. America feeding at the trough printing money at will to pay for its exports may be more responsible for its mountain of debts than China keeping the yuan low.
So how should we respond? First of all, the U.S. Treasury Department must stop fudging and obfuscating.
Twice a year, by law, Treasury must issue a report identifying nations that “manipulate the rate of exchange between their currency and the United States dollar for purposes of preventing effective balance of payments adjustments or gaining unfair competitive advantage in international trade.” The law’s intent is clear: the report should be a factual determination, not a policy statement. In practice, however, Treasury has been both unwilling to take action on the renminbi and unwilling to do what the law requires, namely explain to Congress why it isn’t taking action. Instead, it has spent the past six or seven years pretending not to see the obvious.
Will the next report, due April 15, continue this tradition? Stay tuned (this is a stylish way copied from others to impress. There is no need to say that except for show to impress).
If Treasury does find Chinese currency manipulation, then what? Here, we have to get past a common misunderstanding: the view that the Chinese have us over a barrel, because we don’t dare provoke China into dumping its dollar assets.
What you have to ask is, What would happen if China tried to sell a large share of its U.S. assets? Would interest rates soar? Short-term U.S. interest rates wouldn’t change: they’re being kept near zero by the Fed, which won’t raise rates until the unemployment rate comes down (what if hedge funds, including Goldman Sach’s and other speculators take up China’s lead and short the currency, selling USD to aggravate the fall, might the ‘all powerful’ Fed be forced to raise interest to defend the USD? Don’t think the Fed is that powerful). Long-term rates might rise slightly, but they’re mainly determined by market expectations of future short-term rates. Also, the Fed could offset any interest-rate impact of a Chinese pullback by expanding its own purchases of long-term bonds.
It’s true that if China dumped its U.S. assets the value of the dollar would fall against other major currencies, such as the euro. But that would be a good thing for the United States, since it would make our goods more competitive and reduce our trade deficit (he is assuming there are takers for the cheap goods but the world may be depressed and they still have to earn USD to pay for those goods unlike the US which prints at will those USD to pay for goods). On the other hand, it would be a bad thing for China, which would suffer large losses on its dollar holdings. In short, right now America has China over a barrel, not the other way around.
So we have no reason to fear China. But what should we do?
(It is impossible Krugman knows the US has no reason to fear but he is reasoning he thinks truly but it is false, saying so because actions advocated by him could lead to calamitous results for the US)
Some still argue that we must reason gently with China, not confront it. But we’ve been reasoning with China for years, as its surplus ballooned, and gotten nowhere: on Sunday Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister, declared — absurdly — that his nation’s currency is not undervalued. (The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates that the renminbi is undervalued by between 20 and 40 percent.) And Mr. Wen accused other nations of doing what China actually does, seeking to weaken their currencies “just for the purposes of increasing their own exports.”
But if sweet reason (there is nothing sweet or bitter about reason and so this is a deluded emotional man speaking) won’t work, what’s the alternative? In 1971 the United States dealt with a similar but much less severe problem of foreign undervaluation by imposing a temporary 10 percent surcharge on imports, which was removed a few months later after Germany, Japan and other nations raised the dollar value of their currencies. At this point, it’s hard to see China changing its policies unless faced with the threat of similar action — except that this time the surcharge would have to be much larger, say 25 percent.
Cheap Yuan or US policy seriously damages the world?
Krugman: And it’s a policy that seriously damages the rest of the world.
Is it the US reckless buying of goods using money it prints and spending the savings of other countries in the US for subprime lending more reckless or China’s cheap yuan policy?
If US is guilty of even greater excesses it should address those first before addressing others’.
KRUGMAN IS ACCUSING CHINA OF DAMAGING THE WORLD THAT HAS SERIOUS KARMA FOR HIM IF IT TURNS OUT FALSE, HE IS FAR BETTER SERVED POINTING THE FINGER AT THE US FOR DAMAGING THE WORLD. JESUS SAID YOU WILL BE JUDGED FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD YOU SAY. IF IT IS DIVISIVE, INFLAMMATORY AND THERE IS LITTLE JUSTIFICATION FOR IT, HE IS HEAPING KARMA FOR HIMSELF.
Why Krugman is creating serious karma for himself:
Krugman: And it’s a policy that seriously damages the rest of the world.
Understanding truly, why is Krugman creating serious karma for himself stating the above?
Most people may be upset or supportive of his statement but they do not understand why they are upset or like it.
The reason Krugman is creating serious karma for himself is because he has no right to speak for what he did not see. It is impossible he saw China’s policy seriously harming the rest of the world (notice he used world instead of US in order to incite the world against China) but he is making a guess, at best an educated guess.
He has a right to say the policy MAY harm the rest of the world but he is false with motive to denigrate China and mobilize the world against China to speak as if it is true, China’s policy harms the world.
IF YOU SPEAK OF SOMETHING YOU DID NOT SEE YOU ARE SPEAKING FALSELY COURTING KARMA APART FROM COURTING DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY THAT WHAT YOU DID NOT SEE YOU SAW. FURTHER IF THE MOTIVE IS TO SLANDER SOMEONE AND MOBILIZE THE WORLD AGAINST HIM YOU ARE ASKING FOR FURTHER KARMA.
THUS IF WHAT I SAY IS TRUE THEN IF YOU DID NOT SEE SO OR YOU OBJECT THEN YOU HAVE FALSE UNDERSTANDING, DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE WHAT KRUGMAN SAID IS BASED ON FACT BUT IT IS BASED ON GUESSING.
Krugman & the world’s deluded faith in free market:
What Krugman essentially would like to see is for the yuan to be floated freely and for market ‘forces’ to determine what its true worth is like believing it will favour the US and the key to its economic recovery when it may not be.
Japan, the US and many countries routinely raise or lower interest rates, intervene on the markets to sell or buy dollars to support or weaken their currencies and so this makes nonsense of a free market.
Further markets are driven by greed and will indulge in all sorts of unscrupulous tactics so long as they can get away to engineer profits rather than determine the fair value of a currency.
Thus speculators rushing en masse in and out of a currency can create havoc even governments cannot control if they sense they can short a currency and make money out of a subsequent devaluation that may not have occurred if they have not borrowed massive amounts of money to swap for USD depleting the nation’s USD reserves.
The oil market is now a free market, see how speculators infesting and even cornering the market using borrowed money or margin finance has raised prices to ridiculous levels that have cooled the economy.
Often what is good for greed in the short term is fatal in the long term if everyone copies. For instance, in the name of maximising profits companies relocate manufacture to countries like China to minimize cost and maximize profits but if everyone follow suit, the country is deprived of employment seriously to depress demand and so in the long term everyone suffers, the consumer, the feckless company and employees in countries like China.
Thus if China was to float its currency and speculators were to drive it up to unreasonable levels and China suffers, Krugman has karma advocating floating yuan. A lot of USD held by China may not actually belong to China but to multinationals and speculators and so without understanding this, it may be wrong with karma attached to accuse China thus. A lot of money in the US does not belong to the US but to foreigners like China, Japan, UK, Arabs etc and so it is wrong to say all the money declared by the US belongs to the US.
FREE MARKETS CAN BE MANIPULATED AND BECAUSE IT IS DRIVEN BY GREED FOR GAIN AND FEAR FOR LOSSES, IT CAN BE DRIVEN TO EXTREME LEVELS THAT HARMS THE SYSTEM AND SO ANYONE WHO ADVOCATES FREE MARKET AND FREE FLOATING EXCHANGE RATE IS ADVOCATING OPENING THE CURRENCY TO ATTACK BY SHARKS.
If the US was disadvantaged by being the issuer of the world trade settlement currency you will hear it screaming and demanding for a stop. The fact that it is silent and even fight against displacement by the euro indicates there must be significant unfair advantages to it by being issuer of the world trade currency and rather than exploiting it productively it has abused it to the extent of racking up potentially if not certainly insoluble debts.
THE US REAPED SIGNIFICANT UNFAIR ADVANTAGES BY BEING THE ISSUER OF THE CURRENCY OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE BUT IT THOUGHT IT COULD GET AWAY BY PRINTING AND PRINTING NOT REALIZING THERE WOULD BE A DAY OF RECKONING THAT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.
Efficient markets?
If markets are efficient as touted it would not have delivered the world to the critical mess it now is.
Left to the efficient markets, its exuberance or optimism may push the yuan to unrealistically high levels.
HOW CAN MARKETS BASED ON GREED AND FEAR THAT ARE BLIND KNOW THE TRUE VALUE OF A CURRENCY OR ANY COMMODITY? IF MARKETS KNOW THE TRUE VALUE OF THE NASDAQ HOW COME THE PREVIOUS HIGH EVALUATIONS HAS COLLAPSED?
HOW COME OIL THAT WAS VALUED AT $140 PER BARREL IS NOW VALUED AT $80?
Isn’t it supposed to be a free market?
Isn’t it supposed to be a free market in which the cheapest to make a product wins?
Why should you force people to buy from a more expensive producer when there is someone who can produce it cheaper and still make profits? If China is selling at a loss then perhaps you can cry foul but it is suicidal to sell at a loss indefinitely. Even if China sells at a loss you should celebrate a fool willing to sell at a loss to benefit the world.
If the Chinese finds it profitable exporting at this yuan level who is to quibble with China that it should revalue its yuan to handicap it so that others can compete with it?
Other countries producing the same products as China are free to devalue their currencies so that they can match China’s asking prices and if they cannot do so because it would be loss making then they are clearly not as efficient as Chinese manufacturers and in keeping with the free market ideology the uncompetitive should be allowed to fall on the wayside so why is the US the champion of free markets crying foul?
In football or tennis, shouldn’t the best man win? Thus if China can make the same goods at a cheaper price then it should be allowed to win. If China is selling at a loss then it is foolish and this cannot be sustained indefinitely and so if China can sell at this price and profit and you cannot then you should go bust if that is the case.
THUS IT SEEMS ALL THIS FREE MARKET TALK IS HYPOCRITICAL OR ALL THIS TALK OF CHINA DAMAGING THE WORLD ECONOMY IS ABSURD. IF THE US IS HAVING THE UPPER HAND EVEN UNFAIRLY AS WHEN IT KEEPS PRINTING MONEY TO BUY GOODS ALL IS FINE BUT WHEN IT OWES OTHERS A LOT OF MONEY AS A RESULT OF ITS OWN FECKLESSNESS, IT CRIES FOUL.
Not all the USD belongs to China:
So long as foreigners possess yuan, these yuan owned by foreigners can be converted to USD that the Chinese government must supply from its own USD reserves. Thus not all USD in China’s reserves belong to China and if a sizeable proportion belongs to multinationals or speculators and should they do well in China and make a lot of yuan then potentially all this yuan owned by foreigners can be converted into USD that must come from China’s reserves if they exit.
YOU CAN SAFELY SAY THAT AS IMPRESSIVE AS CHINA’S USD RESERVES ARE, NOT ALL BELONG TO CHINA AND SO LONG AS FOREIGNERS OWN YUAN, A SIZEABLE PROPORTION BELONGS TO FOREIGNERS AND KRUGMAN IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO IGNORE THIS FACT WHEN WAGGING HIS FINGER AT CHINA.
Attacking with fallacies more evil that with facts:
If you want to attack someone the onus is for you to be scrupulous, make sure your ‘facts’ are correct not hyped, if it is misleading you are liable with karma.
It is evil to attack another with facts. Whether you are just pointing out facts or using those facts to attack can be known and if your purpose is to attack then that is evil with karma attached.
It is even more evil to attack another with fallacies or unverified facts.
Krugman said he was surprised when Stephen Roach the Morgan Stanley guru whom he was on amicable terms turned on him vociferously for his suggestions regarding China’s currency manipulation, saying his Chinese allegations were borne of careful examination. This means he is deluded, he perceives his accusations as factual when they are false. Roach’s arguments for opposing Krugman too is wrong and so he too does not truly understand.
China is like a casino, when you bet in a casino you don’t use cash or USD, you convert your cash or USD into casino chips and should you be successful in gambling, the casino has to return more cash than you brought in should you cash in your casino chips or yuan.
Thus some of USD that China holds may only be in China’s safekeeping, belonging to investors setting up business in China and should they be very successful and China has no other sources of USD then it would be unable to pay these investors should they want to cash in their increased yuan holdings for USD on exit.
Unlike Japan & Germany, China is a surrogate exporter for multinationals and so a lot of its export earned USD is likely to truly belong to these multinationals and one should be careful to take this into account before accusing China of hoarding.
Another important source of USD is the hot money rushing into China in search of quick returns like currency appreciation, speculating on the stock and property markets.
Thus before telling the world of the huge hoard of USD that China has amassed to the world’s harm, the onus is on you to verify if it is true all this hoard belongs to China and if it does not, you should inform readers or you are in danger of slander.
A business may have a turnover of $1 million but the profit due it may only be $100,000 and so it is malicious to accuse it of making a fat profit of $1 million or tax it on $1 million.
Just because a man has $1 million dollar does not mean everything belongs to him, some may belong to his brother or family or creditors and so before you tell the world to disparage him that he is a millionaire, you should make sure of your facts.
DRIVEN BY GREED, ENVY AND JEALOUSY NOT TRUE UNDERSTANDING, AN EMOTIONAL PERSON WHO IS PARTISAN SEEING HIS BELOVED COUNTRY IN TROUBLE OR TO PROMOTE HIMSELF AS AN ECONOMIC SAVIOUR SEES CHINA’S HOARD OF CURRENCY AND IS DRIVEN IRRESISTIBLY TO ATTACK IT WITHOUT CAREFUL THOUGHT OR IS BLINDED NOT TO SEE THAT WHAT APPEARS TO BE MAY NOT BE, CHINA MAY APPEAR VERY RICH IN USD BUT A LOT MAY BELONG TO FOREIGNERS. AS A RESULT HE IS HEAPING KARMA TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE PAIN HE THINKS HE IS CREATING MERIT FOR HIMSELF AND BENEFITING THE US AND THE WORLD BY ATTACKING CHINA.
IF REVALUING THE YUAN WILL NOT DELIVER THE ECONOMIC RESULTS HE HOPES, AMERICA’S PROBLEMS ARE NOT CAUSED BY A LOW YUAN AND ITS REVALUATION WILL NOT MAKE MORE THAN A SMALL DENT IN THE PROBLEM, HE IS DELUDED TO SEE A MOUNTAIN IN A MOLE HILL.
Why emotional people cannot understand:
If the mind has a nature that is like a flexible mirror or lens and the presence of force in that mind deforms the lens or mirror then whatever is reflected or viewed through this force distorted lens or mirror is always distorted and therefore never as it truly is. Never seeing things as they truly are because of force warping their mirror or lens, they cannot understand truly.
THE MIND IS LIKE A MIRROR AND THE PRESENCE OF FORCE IN THE MIND IS TO BEND OR DISTORT THE MIRROR SO THAT WHATEVER IS REFLECTED OR SEEN THROUGH THAT MIRROR IS DISTORTED AND SO LONG AS THE MIRROR IS DISTORTED BY FORCE THE MIND CANNOT SEE TRULY AND THUS NEVER UNDERSTAND TRULY.
Delusions are false rehashed perceptions:
Delusions are never false beliefs but they are false perceptions, the deluded person perceives something false as true or meaningful and the only way that a person can consistently perceive the same object falsely in the same way that is typical of him and different from other deluded people is because it is rehashed.
THUS IF A PERSON HARBOUR DELUSIONS HE MUST BE REHASHING THOSE DELUSIONS EACH TIME BECAUSE IN ORDER TO FALSELY PERCEIVE THE SAME WAY THE SAME SUBJECT IT MUST BE REHASHED.
DELUSION IS A CONDITIONED STATE, NEVER A FRESH SPECIFIC TO THE OCCASION STATE AND SO A PERSON WHO IS DELUDED IS REHASHING HIS RECORDED DELUSION TO FACE THE NEEDS OF THE OCCASION.
Stylish people don’t just believe their style or use of force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness is meaningful or good, they perceive falsely or are deluded that their soft whispering gentleness with prolonging, changing speed and loudness is marvellous, charming, beneficial to themselves and others when it is totally meaningless, for show, creates stress, restlessness and distraction and requires rehashing or a robotic existence.
Oil provides 50% Malaysia’s revenues:
It seems 50% Malaysia’s revenues comes from oil (oil palm, rubber, timber are likely to be important) and so it is not so much industrial might but natural resources that keep Malaysia sustained.
The fact that Malaysia earns 50% of its revenue from oil means the government’s claim of subsidy is humbug, how can it subsidize oil when oil is a major earner for Malaysia.
World bank: Malaysia too dependent on oil and gas revenues
November 19, 2009
Malaysia must broaden its revenue base
by Yip Ai Tsin
The World Bank said that Malaysia is too dependent on revenues from oil and gas and should instead broaden its revenue base.
“With proven oil reserves at 4 billion barrels as of early 2009 and production rate in 2008 at 727 thousand barrels a day, expanding the revenue base helps prepare for the day when the reserves deplete,” said the body in its report released yesterday.
The report entitled “Malaysia Economic Monitor: Repositioning for Growth” pointed out that oil-and-gas revenue presently account for about 40 percent of the country’s total revenue.
Not BN but oil & gas:
Contrary to what politicians would like Malaysians believe and Malaysians are suckered to believe it is not BN marvellous stewardship or Malaysia’s industrial might but natural resources like oil & gas, rubber, palm oil, timber that sustains Malaysia.
WITHOUT OIL AND GAS MALAYSIA WOULD BE KAPUT.
Clinton warns Israel of choices:
People read this headline and think they truly understand what is stated but they falsely understand.
What is there to warn and warning is about threatening that is evil.
The truth of the matter is that there choices A, B or C for Israel to make which have consequences F, G & H and these should be conveyed by Clinton to Israel and thus informed it is up to Israel to abide or not, what is there to warn and of what use is it to warn except to coerce or use force to make Israel conform?
EMOTIONAL PEOPLE ALWAYS UNDERSTAND FALSELY THAT CLINTON IS RIGHT AND MEANINGFUL TO WARN ISRAEL BUT IT IS MEANINGLESS AND EVIL TO WARN. THE BUDDHA NEVER WARNS YOU, HE TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE SUFFERING AS VAST AS AN OCEAN AND AS LONG AS AN ETERNITY AWAITING YOU SHOULD YOU BE HEEDLESS.
A PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS TRULY UNDERSTANDS CLINTON IS WRONG TO WARN ISRAEL, SHE IS CORRECT TO INFORM ISRAEL OF THE CHOICES IT FACES, NOT WARN OF THE CHOICES.
Inform not warn:
You have no right to warn but you can inform another and it is up to him to take heed.
Inform is meaningful about substance, warning is meaningless, about using force to threaten. Thus speaking rightly it should be ‘Clinton informs or tells Israel of choices’.
Was former Sabah CM murdered because of oil?
There are allegations a former Sabah CM together with other officials were murdered in a stage air crash because of their opposition to oil royalty.
THUS MURDER MAY BE PRACTICED AS A POLITICAL TOOL IN MALAYSIA MORE THAN THE PUBLIC REALIZE.
A Blast From The Past.....Was The Oil Royalty 5% Or 20%?
Tuesday, 23 March 2010 admin-s
Is the Petroleum Development Act 1974 unconstitutional? Petronas doesn't answer to Parliament and is only answerable to the Prime Minister of the day-hence if my memory still serves me correctly the Prime Minister of the day is Najib Tun Razak.But 36 years ago,the time the Petroleum Act was enacted,the Prime Minister was Tun Abdul Razak (22th.Sept.1970-14th.Jan.1976), while Tun Hussein Onn serve as the Prime Minister from 14th Jan 1976 - 16th July 1981.
By Ronnie Klassen
Ironically,call it just pure coincidence,we are now seeing off springs in a similar capacity.But today we're more keen to re-discover the events that took place in Sabah,which could have change the fate of Sabahans,especially when oil was actually first discovered in 1882.
On the morning of June 6th.1976 @10am,Sabah Chief Minister born as Donald Aloysius Marmaduke Stephens and ,later known as Tun Haji Mohammad Fuad Stephens boarded a Nomad Aircraft from Kota Kinabalu and bound for Labuan. Along with him on the flight were State Ministers Datuk Salleh Sulong, Chong Thien Vun, and Assistant Minister Darius Binion. The purpose was to welcome Malaysian Finance Minister Tengku Razaliegh Hamzah and Sarawak Chief Minister, Datuk Pattingi Hj.Abdul Rahman Yakub,who were visiting the oil refinery at Labuan.
On the 7th.June.1976,the visiting Finance Minister cum Petronas Founding Chairman, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah was scheduled to sign an Oil Agreement in Kota Kinabalu between the State Government of Sabah and Petronas. Unfortunately the signing ceremony never took place, not on the 7th.June.1976 anyway. The reason.... Chief Minister Donald Stephens, Salleh Sulong, Chong Thien Vun, Peter Mojuntin (the Golden Son of the Kadazans) along with 7 others perished in the controversial accident of the Nomad Aircraft carrying them on the 6th.June.1976, in Kota Kinabalu. That tragedy is also known as the DOUBLE SIX TRAGEDY or DOUBLE SIX CRASH. 
The question lingering in the minds of Sabahans till this day is - was the final discussion prior to the signing of this Oil Agreement 5% or 20% ?? Will we ever know?
So much for Mahathirism:
It may be true Dr M deserve much credit for the progress of Malaysia but it is oil and gas that has nothing to do with high tech or development that is responsible for putting food on the table of Malaysians.
Minus the gross wastages on bungled projects, white elephants (think Perwaja, Maminco, UK pound speculation and many others) and gross corruption Malaysia would have been far better off.
This time it is different:
Another favourite Krugman delusion is that it is OK for governments to deficit spend even much more than today because it is manageable when the economy recovers, what is important is to stave off high unemployment and its morbidity on the chronic unemployed.
Blind comparisons with the past can be dangerous. After the Great Depression, the population of the earth was still relatively small and its resources (oil, fisheries, forestry, agriculture still relatively untapped and global warming was just rising) pristine and so with a population explosion and tapping of resources, it made short shrift of huge national debts but today nature has been exhausted, all resources have been tapped and running out, there is little room for further population growth and the population is aging and shrinking so that the burden of care for the elderly is increasing and so it is delusion to say that just because we recovered from the Great Depression, the same will hold today.
Why is he grinning?
It is totally inappropriate, unnecessary for the purpose of what he is doing, taking a picture or video of the orchids to grin thus and therefore he is practicing controlled madness in the name of impressing others that will end in sanity.
WHAT IS THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS GOING ON, GRINNING OR TAKING A PHOTO?
IF YOU AGREE THAT WHAT IS GOING ON IS TAKING A PHOTO THEN IS IT NECESSARY TO GRIN TO TAKE A PHOTO? IF IT IS UNNECESSARY, STRESSFUL, FOR SHOW AND DISTRACTS FROM THE TASK AT HAND THEN HE IS PRACTICING CONTROLLED MADNESS THAT ENDS WITH LOSS OF CONTROL AND UNCONTROLLABLE MADNESS.
IF YOU ARE MINDFULLY GRINNING THEN YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE THE PHOTO, IF YOU ARE MINDFULLY TAKING A PHOTO THEN YOU SHOULD NOT DISTRACT YOURSELF GRINNING.
How Malaysia may be living even many times beyond its means:
It is not just revenue as from oil and gas that can sustain a nation’s consumption. If rulers are unscrupulous, they can illegally secretly spent people’s savings in banks & pension funds and if these savings are repetitively recycled to be lent, re-deposited and lent again they can support consumption way beyond the actual wealth in the country but the longer this abuse is allowed to persist with no replenishment of savings and should an external (world credit crunch) or internal crisis hit then with significant unemployment, people’s ability to service the mountain of loans or debts becomes significantly even fatally impaired and the whole edifice or house of cards can come toppling down.
AS LUCKY AS MALAYSIA IS BLESSED WITH OIL & GAS RESERVES, THE LEVEL OF OPULENT CONSUMPTION SEEN IN MALAYSIA MAY NOT BE SUSTAINABLE JUST BY ITS INCOME OR REVENUE BUT IT MAY REFLECT SPENDING OF PEOPLE’S SAVINGS IN BANKS AND PENSION FUNDS THAT THROUGH REPEATED CYCLES OF LENDING AND REDEPOSITING TO BE LENT AGAIN CAN SUPPORT SPENDING OR CONSUMPTION MANY TIMES WHAT IS TRULY AFFORDABLE AND WHEN NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENS THIS CAN BE SUSTAINED FOR A LONG TIME BUT SHOULD A CRISIS OCCUR AS WITH THE GLOBAL CREDIT CRUNCH AND MANY PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOBS AND ARE UNABLE TO SERVICE THEIR LOANS THEN THE MASSIVE BLOATED LEVERAGED CONSUMPTION MAY COLLAPSE WITH A FEROCITY THAT SURPISES THE NAIVE.
IN OTHER WORDS WHAT YOU SEE MALAYSIANS LIVING LUXURIOUSLY WITH COSY HOMES, MANY AMENITIES AND POSH CARS MAY FOOL YOU TO THINK MALAYSIANS CAN AFFORD IT BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A RICH COUNTRY SUPPORTED BY BOUNTIFUL OIL AND GAS AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES BUT THE LEVEL OF LUXURY MAY REFLECT MALAYSIANS LIVING WAY BEYOND THEIR MEANS EVEN MANY TIMES BEYOND THEIR ADVISABLE MEANS ABETTED BY THE SECRET SPENDING AWAY OF SAVINGS IN REPEATED CYCLES OF LENT REDEPOSITED LENT TO PERMIT CONSUMPTION MANY TIMES GREATER THAN ACTUALLY AFFORDABLE.
AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MALAYSIA IS HAPPENING VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD INCLUDING SINGAPORE.
Phantom millionaires:
Credit and the deposition of wealth in a common banking system have the ability that can be dangerous of rapidly creating many phantom millionaires from just one million deposited in the system.
JUST ONE MILLION DEPOSITED IN THE BANKING SYSTEM CAN THROUGH REPEATED CYCLES OF DEPOSITION, LENT AND RE-DEPOSITED, CREATE MANY PHANTOM MILLIONAIRES WHEN THERE IS JUST ONE MILLION IN THE SYSTEM. THIS ILLUSION CAN BE MAINTAINED INDEFINITELY IF ALL THESE PHANTOM MILLIONAIRES DO NOT WITHDRAW MORE THAN THE MILLION PLUS INSTALMENTS INCREMENTALLY ADDED WITH TIME TO THE SYSTEM BY BORROWERS OF THE MILLION COLLECTIVELY.
Suppose you have $1 million (and so are a millionaire) and you deposit your money in a bank to reap interest gains (instead of stashing it at home out of the system) then this $1 million can be lent out to be borrowed and the money transferred to the seller the borrower bought from and so the seller is now owner of $1 million and another millionaire even when there is only 1 million in the system. If this cycle is repeated many times, the recipient of your million re-deposits it in the banking system and it is lent out again, this same million that was originally yours can spawn many millionaires even when there is only 1 million in the system.
The proviso for this illusion or mirage is that these phantom millionaires keep their money in the system and withdraw only sustainable amounts of their wealth and the multiple borrowers are able to service their debts making regularly payments of cash that is sufficient to meet the periodic partial withdrawals by these phantom millionaires.
PROVIDED THESE MANY PHANTOM MILLIONAIRES BACKED UP BY JUST A SINGLE MILLION IN THE SYSTEM DO NOT WITHDRAW FROM THE BANKING SYSTEM MORE MONEY THAN THAT MILLION PLUS INCREMENTAL LOAN INSTALLMENTS PAID INTO THE SYSTEM BY BORROWERS, THE SYSTEM IS SOLVENT AND YOU HAVE AN ILLUSION OF MANY MILLIONAIRES ‘INSTANTLY’ CREATED WHEN THERE IS ONLY 1 MILLION BACKING UP ALL THESE MILLIONAIRES.
ALL THESE MILLIONAIRES WILL BE TRULY MILLIONAIRES ONLY MANY YEARS LATER WHEN BORROWERS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SETTLED THEIR LOANS AND THERE ARE THEN MANY MILLIONS IN THE SYSTEM TO BACK UP ALL THESE MILLIONAIRES.SHOULD SOME OF THESE BORROWERS DEFAULT ON THEIR LOANS THEN SOME OR MANY OF THESE PHANTOM MILLIONAIRES WILL FACE THE UNPALATABLE TRUTH THAT THEY ARE NOT THE MILLIONAIRES THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE.
THUS THE EFFECT OF CREDIT AND THE TENDENCY TO DEPOSIT WEALTH IN A COMMON BANKING SYSTEM IS TO PERMIT THE CREATION OF ALMOST INSTANT OR RAPID PHANTOM WEALTH IN MANY THROUGH REPEATED CYCLES OF LENDING AND REDEPOSITION OF BORROWED MONEY. THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL WEALTH IS MUCH LESS THAN THE APPARENT WEALTH WHICH WILL ONLY BE TRULY REALIZED MANY YEARS LATER PROVIDED ALL THE BORROWERS MADE GOOD ON THEIR BORROWINGS, SHOULD THEY DEFAULT THEN MANY OF THESE MILLIONAIRES WILL BE FOUND WANTING, THEIR MILLIONS ARE MIRAGES THAT WERE NEVER THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THUS THE FACT THAT THERE IS CREDIT IN OUR SOCIETY AND THERE IS TRUST SUCH THAT MONEY IS LARGELY RECYCLED OR DEPOSITED IN THE BANKING SYSTEM MEANS A LOT OF THE WEALTH THAT APPEAR IN THE BEAUTIFUL HOUSES PEOPLE STAY IN AND BEAUTIFUL CARS THEY DRIVE, POSH RESTAURANTS THEY FREQUENT MAY BE PHANTOM WEALTH DESTINED TO BE NEVER FULFILLED WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES SHOULD BORROWERS SIGNIFICANTLY DEFAULT.
When it shines it is glorious, when it rains, it pours:
The net effect of credit and deposition of wealth in a common banking system is that when it shines it is glorious with millionaires sprouting overnight everywhere as if the economy was so marvellous and limitless but when it rains, it pours everything comes crashing down and the unwary are in danger of drowning.
Credit is evil:
It is objective, cannot be refuted that credit is evil not good. If you perceive credit is good or it may have good & bad qualities you have wrong view that the Buddha said is the way to hell or the animal womb.
And this is a world that worships credit, that encourages you to borrow even without checking if you can repay and keep interest rates low just to encourage you to borrow.
Credit allows people to consume now what they cannot consume now and can only consume later and so if they have consumed excessively borrowed from the future a time may come when they have nothing and must starve or become bankrupt in the future.
Credit allows many people to become instant millionaires when in the natural course of things they would only become millionaires much later when borrowers finally earn the money to pay for the goods they sold. Because they become millionaires before their time, they too are encouraged to spend as if they are millionaires before their time and this is a recipe for future disaster.
CREDIT OR LENDING MONEY FOR OTHERS TO SPEND IS ALWAYS EVIL, SHOULD NOT BE PROMOTED AND IT IS A RECIPE FOR FUTURE SYSTEMIC DISASTER AND THIS IS A WORLD THAT PROMOTES CREDIT, THAT SEES NOTHING WRONG BUT GOOD IN CREDIT. THUS IF YOU LOOK ON CREDIT KINDLY YOU MAY HAVE WRONG VIEW THAT IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB.
CREDIT IS LIKE ALCOHOL AND YOU MAY ARGUE THAT ALCOHOL HAS BENEFITS IF NOT ABUSED BUT YOU MAY BE DELUDED, ALCOHOL IS EVIL.
Dr M’s twiddling thumbs:
Dr M was shown paying his last respects before the wrapped body of a former minister and as he stood there, possibly reminded of his own impending mortality, his thumbs were restlessly rolling over each other as if he was uncomfortable and trying to sooth himself.
He has plenty to be restless and uncomfortable about the future but it has all been done and what remains is to face the music that is coming soon.
The rolling thumbs serve no useful purpose and it is rehashed driven by a restless urge and that is controlled insanity whose control will ultimately be lost.
PEOPLE THINK NOTHING OF SHAKING THEIR LEGS OR DRUMMING THEIR FINGERS BUT IT REFLECTS THEIR WRONG UNDERSTANDING HERE AS EVERYWHERE. BECAUSE THOSE ACTIONS SERVE NO USEFUL PURPOSE THEY ARE PRACTICING CONTROLLED MADNESS, REHASHING BY ROTE DRIVEN BY URGES THEY CANNOT CONTROL AND IT IS A WARNING OF FUTURE SUFFERING.
NOWADAYS I AM ABLE TO STAY STILL WITH NO URGE TO SHAKE MY LEGS OR TWIRL A LOCK OF HAIR, ETC AND RATHER THAN SUFFERING AND BOREDOM, IT IS AN INCOMPARABLE RELEASE FROM THE TORMENT OF RESTLESSNESS.
Everything can be determined as meaningful or meaningless:
Everything you say and do, how you say and do it can be examined and classified as meaningful or necessary or meaningless or unnecessary, if what and how you say or do something is meaningless you are knowingly or unknowingly practicing controlled madness that will end with loss of control and uncontrollable madness.
Thus if you use your hand to hold a key and open a lock, that is meaningful and you won’t go mad.
If you scratch your head or rub your nose or spit at sight of someone because you don’t like him or are uncomfortable, to distract yourself then it is totally meaningless and inappropriate and until that urge to scratch, rub or spit is effaced so that it no longer remains, you are in danger of future insanity.
USING YOUR HANDS TO OPEN A LOCK IS MEANINGFUL, STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS, SMILING, LAUGHING, DANCING AND JOKING IS MEANINGLESS. IF YOU STRETCH SYLLABLES, SMILE, LAUGH, DANCE AND JOKE YOU ARE PRACTICING CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT ENDS IN UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY.
Floating yuan could be suicidal:
Quote: Obviously, the renminbi would appreciate substantially if it were floated, but this doesn’t necessary mean it is undervalued using fair value criteria. There’s a huge pool of international money out there that wants to invest in China, and given the chance it would be buying the yuan hand over fist (in a greedy scramble disregarding fair value).
Rather than market knows best, the greed of fund managers ‘piling into China’ with a float could cause the yuan to soar way above its ‘fair value’ worth.
ANYONE WHO BELIEVES MARKETS ARE EFFICIENT AND KNOWS BEST IS DELUDED AND HEADED FOR INSANITY. OFTEN MARKETS REACT SLOW LONG AFTER THE EVENT IN PANIC FASHION AS NEWS BREAKS OUT WHEN THE SIGNS OF TROUBLE ARE ALREADY THERE FOR THOSE WITH EYES TO SEE. MARKETS ARE BLIND, DRIVEN BY BLIND GREED AND FEAR AND TO LEAVE THE VALUE OF THE YUAN TO MARKETS IS LIKE TOSSING YOUR DOG TO THE SHARKS AS A PLAYTHING.
THUS ANYONE ADVOCATING FLOATING THE YUAN IS LIKE ASKING SOMEONE TO COMMIT SUICIDE WITH KARMA ATTACHED NOT MERIT.
Markets are about momentum not true value:
Markets are about momentum, it does not care whether a commodity eg yuan, stock or oil is grossly overvalued, so long as it thinks the momentum is an uptrend with profits to be made it will buy and push up prices.
What may be a fair value to markets may be way above sane valuation but markets don’t care, so long as it thinks there is demand and scope for uptrend it will buy and push prices up. Look at the price of gold, oil and Nasdaq stocks in its heydays.
Why Dr M Is Losing Control:
By convention when you pay your respects, you remain silent and motionless and the fact he was unable to keep himself from twirling his thumbs quite vigorously reflects a strong restlessness or discomfort that he was unable to control in order to pay his respects.
As people age, they become more childlike and unable to control themselves and thus his inability to remain still whilst paying respect is a sign to those who are discerning that is grip or control is weakening.
Seduction: Never genuine but takes great steel:
To those who perceive and understand falsely the couple is sharing a tender intimate moment.
To one who sees truly, it is never genuine but fabricated or contrived or faked and it takes great steel or determination and nerve to not falter or waver but carry through the charade in order to obtain the prize namely satiation of each person’s lust or sensual gratification or need for conquest or seduction.
SUCH INTIMATE MOMENTS ARE NEVER GENUINE NOR UNADULTERATED PLEASURE IT IS MADE TO BE BUT IT IS STRESSFUL AND A BIG TEST OR CHALLENGE TO ONE’S ABILITY TO PUT ON A SHOW OF DECEPTION, SO CLOSE AND YET NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF OR YOUR CHICANERY. IN OTHER WORDS IT IS A BIG TEST ON YOUR ACTING TO BE ABLE TO DO SO SMOOTHLY OR SUAVELY. IT IS CALLED SEDUCTION AND THAT IS NEVER MEANINGFUL BUT DRIVEN BY FORCE AND ABOUT FORCE OR EMOTION.
Intense pretence:
Individuals vary in the intensity of their pretence, the more intense or more force backing their pretence, the more unshakeable their pretence and so they may be able to stare adoringly at close proximity with another and not flinch.
There are many less consummate goats who are uncomfortable with and avoid close range contacts with others, their acting break down under close scrutiny or they fear such close contact will stress them to break point.
SO INTENSE IS THE PRETENSE AND DELUSION OF SOME GOATS THAT THEY ARE UNTROUBLED BY CLOSE PROXIMITY ACTING. THEIR ACTING OR FACADE IS VIRTUALLY UNSHAKEABLE.
Close proximity acting challenges everyone:
Do not be deceived by the seeming conviviality or geniality to perceive it is genuine or marvellous, it is always tension arousing and takes much control & make believe to carry through such a charade so that each can satisfy his or her lust or even material gains. Some women use sex as a bait to make money and so they must be good at putting up with nonsense and lies from the opposite party.
True love although existing is a delusion here, never seen in this world, what they call love is passion or lust or attraction, the stirring of mental force that even if genuine, is stressful for self and the recipient because it stirs mental force and a stressed person must hate himself and the person he is excited or liking about and this hate must be suppressed, concealed from the other person and even from oneself but no matter how well suppressed or concealed, this hate has a tendency of rearing up, the concealed fangs have a tendency to be bared and in close proximity situation there is a lurking fear or dread that the close scrutiny expose one’s fangs, that one’s immaculate and adoring smile can suddenly involuntarily turn into a scowl or snarl.
AT THE HEART OF THIS WORLD IS NEVER LOVE, NOT EVEN LIKING BUT IT IS HATE BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD IS CONSTANTLY (EVEN IN INTIMATE MOMENTS) RADIATING FORCE AT EACH OTHER IN THE FORM OF FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH THAT HARMS AND STRESSES SELF AND THE RECIPIENT AND SO EVERY EMOTIONAL AND STYLISH PERSON MUST HATE HIMSELF AND OTHERS. THIS HATE MUST BE CONCEALED FROM OTHERS (AND EVEN ONESELF) IN ORDER TO GET ALONG WITH OTHERS, TO GET WHAT ONE WANTS FROM OTHERS (SEXUAL GRATIFICATION, MATERIAL GAINS) BUT NO MATTER HOW WELL CONCEALED THIS HATE OR FANGS ARE REARING TO BARE AND IN CLOSE RANGE ACTING THIS IMMACULATE ACT OF FAKED HAPPINESS, LIKING OR LOVE IS UNDER CLOSER SCRUTINY AND THEREFORE ANXIETY PROVOKING AND THERE IS A FEAR THAT THE IMMACULATE ADORING SMILE CAN TURN INTO A VICIOUS SNARL.
PEOPLE ARE ONLY FAKING THEY ARE HAPPY & LIKING OTHERS, EVEN IF LIKING IS GENUINE, IT IS STRESSFUL TO SELF AND RECIPIENT AND SO THE UNDERLYING TRUE EMOTION IS HATE WHICH MUST BE CONCEALED FROM OTHERS WHICH ALWAYS TAKES EFFORT OR CONTROL THAT IS SUBJECT TO MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL AND CLOSE PROXIMITY ACTING ALWAYS TEST THAT CONTROL SEVERELY, THERE IS LURKING FEAR SOMETHING THE OTHER PERSON SAID OR DID MIGHT PROVOKE SNARLING AND SO IT TAKES A DETERMINED GOAT TO WHISPER SWEET NOTHINGS AND ACT ENCHANTED TO THE NAIVE OR GULLIBLE BUT NOT INNOCENT GIRL.
Hate is idling and can be provoked:
Hate is always idling and concealed in the background in emotional people and this hate can be provoked and provocations differ in different people who have different sensitive spots eg you might like to touch a girl in a certain spot but she might hate to be touched in a certain spot and something seemingly innocuously said or done can provoke even uncontrollable rage in another. A single word, even whispered “I love you so much” can cause another to choke.
Normally people try to hide their sensitivities or hate when provoked behind a smile or look away but in close range acting, it is more difficult to hide one’s true feelings and because hate can be provoked and there is ‘no telling’ what might happen that will provoke that hate that must be hidden, close range acting is always more anxiety inducing.
HATE IS A CONSTANT DRIVE IN BEINGS IN THIS WORLD, IN TRUTH THEY HATE (OR ARE ANGRY) THEMSELVES AND OTHERS AND AFTER COUNTLESS REPEATED CYCLES OF ANGER AND HATE THESE ARE VERY EASILY PROVOKED BY MANY THINGS HAPPENING THAT ARE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PEOPLE. THE DISCONCERTING AND MADDENING THING ABOUT HATE IS THAT IT MUST BE HIDDEN FROM OTHERS, THERE IS AN INGRAINED URGE TO HIDE HATE FROM OTHERS AND INSTEAD FAKE ONE LIKES SOMEONE OR SOMETHING OR ONE IS HAPPY, TOP OF THE WORLD AND SO THE EMOTIONAL PERSON LIVES IN DREAD THAT HIS EASILY PROVOKED HATE OR ANGER MAY BE AROUSED BY SOMETHING THAT HE CAN NEVER PREDICT NOR AVOID AND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY ACTING AS IN INTIMATE MOMENTS OR PERFORMING BEFORE THE PRYING EYES OF AN AUDIENCE AS ON STAGE, HE HAS EVEN GREATER PERFORMANCE ANXIETY THAT HIS ACT MIGHT DESERT HIM AND HE WILL BARE HIS FANGS OUT OF CONTROL.
Why they are so good at it:
The reason why they are so good at what they are doing is because it is rehashed, after many cycles (practice makes perfect), they are very good at staring at each other and whispering sweet nothings.
If this was the first time they are doing this, it would never be so slick but even fumbling or hesitant and it is because it is rehashed slickly that it is so smooth.
THESE ARE ROBOTS ACTING THE WAY THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE AND BECAUSE IT IS REHASHED, THEY ARE HEADED FOR ROBOT FAILURE AND INSANITY.
Hate, greed and delusion is the basis of existence here:
There is nothing marvellous or mysterious about life here but it is simply hate, greed and delusion that maintain foolish beings here. Jesus said the earth is God’s footstool, where He rests his foot, not a pillow where He rests his head and so whoever marvels at this world is deluded in keeping with what the Buddha said it is delusion that keeps you here.
The Buddha also said there are five lower fetters namely sensuality (greed), ill will (hate), faith in rituals and precepts (a form of delusion), self identity views (false and therefore delusions) and doubt and uncertainty (deluded states of mind) that keep beings trapped in the lower realms.
THUS THE BASIS OF BEINGS’ EXISTENCE IN THIS WORLD OF SUFFERING IS NEVER MEANING OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA, IT IS SIMPLY GREED (SENSUALITY OR ATTRACTION TO SOUNDS, SIGHTS, SMELLS, TASTES AND TOUCH), HATE (ILL WILL) AND DELUSION (FAITH IN RITUALS AND RULES, SELF IDENTITY VIEWS AND DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY).
