Why derivatives backed defaults can be fatal:
In the uncomplicated simple world of the past, if bankers lent money say to Greece, then their money is tied and if Greece defaults, it means the money that has been tied, borrowed by Greece will not be returned.
In a derivative backed world, when Greece defaults, lenders who have taken derivative contracts on what they lent to Greece will demand repayment in full from the insurers or writers of those derivatives and those who have stood guarantee may not have the billions necessary to fulfil their surety, many may be unaware they have stood surety for these rotten loans because these sureties have been parcelled off to many unsuspecting buyers who only think of the commissions they were paid to stand surety not realizing their heads are potentially on the chopping boards in the event of a default.
IN A DERIVATIVE BACKED WORLD, WHEN GREECE DEFAULTS THE LENDERS CAN SEEK INSURANCE REPAYMENT FROM THOSE ISSUERS OF DERIVATIVES WHO MAY HAVE STOOD GUARANTEE WITHOUT SETTING ASIDE MONEY IN THE EVENT OF CONTINGENCIES OR MAY NOT REALIZE THEY ARE IN THE LINE OF FIRE BECAUSE THE GUARANTEES HAVE BEEN SPLIT UP INTO MANY PARCELS.
IN THE PAST, LENDERS’ MONEY IS TIED WITH GREECE AND IF GREECE DEFAULTS IT MEANS THEIR ALREADY TIED MONEY CANNOT BE ACCESSED THAT’S ALL. IN THIS SURETY BACKED WORLD, WHEN GREECE DEFAULTS, LENDERS WILL LOOK FOR REPAYMENT FROM THOSE WHO INSURED THE LOANS AND THERE IS A ‘WHOPPING’ SUM OF MONEY TO BE COUGHED UP BY THESE INSURERS WHO MAY NOT HAVE MADE PROVISIONS TO PAY.
The dangerously delusional logic of derivatives:
Derivatives have been touted as a wonderful modern innovation to efficiently distribute capital for lending boosting the economy. Even Greenspan sang its praises.
Supposed derivatives may be compared with walking around in your underwear or even without underwear would you be deluded to tout it as modern superefficient garments?
The lender should take full responsibility for his lending, that way he would be more judicious or shrewd in his lending. In this idiotic ‘masters of the universe’ world, lenders and their regulators think it is brilliant if lenders can pay others a premium to insure what they lend so that in any eventualities, it is not the lender who is at risk but those who insured those loans.
WITH DERIVATIVES IT IS DE FACTO THOSE WHO BOUGHT THE DERIVATIVES WHO ARE THE LENDERS OF THE MONEY ALREADY THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO LEND, THEY POCKET THE PREMIUMS IF NOTHING HAPPENS BUT IN A DEFAULT THEY ARE LIABLE TO PAY UP WHICH THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY.
THUS LENDERS WHO HAVE ISSUED DERIVATIVES FOR WHAT THEY LEND CAN LIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF LOSS BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT, THOSE WHO ISSUED THE DERIVATIVES ARE LIABLE TO MAKE GOOD WHAT THEY FOOLISHLY OR GREEDILY LENT.
PEOPLE THINK NOTHING EVEN THINK IT IS NECESSARY AND BRILLIANT BUT DERIVATIVES MAY BE BASED ON MAD LOGIC WHERE LENDERS CAN LEND WITH IMPUNITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TAKEN OUT INSURANCE FOR WHAT THEY LENT SO THAT IN CASE OF DEFAULT THEY ARE NOT AT RISK BUT WILL GET THEIR MONEY BACK WHILST THOSE WHO DID NOT LEND THE MONEY ARE AT RISK THAT THEY MAY NOT REALIZE TO MAKE GOOD THE HUGE SUMS OF MONEY THEY UNDERTOOK TO GUARANTEE.
Derivatives a fundamental idiocy of logic:
Derivatives may be a monumental faux pas, a fundamental idiocy of logic and it reflects modern greed blinded delusion that they perceive it falsely as a marvellous mathematically backed instrument of fail-safe lending to the hilt.
If those who insured the loans have the money to lend, why don’t they lend it DIRECTLY themselves rather than collect the small bribe to guarantee the loan and hope nothing goes wrong?
Once lenders have paid a small fee or premium for their loans they made, theoretically they are no longer at risk, they will reap the interests of their loans (minus the fee they paid to insure those loans) in theoretically ‘SURE WIN’ lending.
THIS IS SHEER FOLLY OF A GIANT MAGNITUDE THAT LENDERS CAN LEND WITHOUT RISK BY ASKING OTHERS TO STAND SURETY FOR THEIR LOANS FOR A FEE WHILST THERE ARE FOOLS OUT THERE WILLING TO STICK THEIR NECKS OUT ON A CHOPPING BOARD FOR A SMALL BRIBE. DE FACTO THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE LENDING WITHOUT PUTTING OUT THE MONEY WHILST THOSE WHO LEND WILL REAP THE INTEREST PAID BUT THEY ARE NOT AT RISK OF DEFAULT.
Obama orders cut in Afghan force
President Barack Obama announces the withdrawal of 10,000 US troops from Afghanistan this year - and another 23,000 by September 2012
This may show how facetious or self serving people are.
All along it is not Afghanistan that America invaded to save, they invaded Afghanistan because Bin Laden was there and they wanted to get him at all costs.
NOW THAT BIN LADEN IS DEAD, THERE MAY BE NO REASON TO STAY IN AFGHANISTAN, WHO CARES IF THE CURRENT LEADER HAS HIS TESTICLES CUT BY THE TALABAN AS THE PREVIOUS RUSSIANS STOOGE HAD HIS TESTICLES CUT. MANY VALUABLE AMERICANS LIVES ARE BEING LOST THERE AND SO NOW THAT THEIR OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN MET, BIN LADEN IS DEAD, IT IS TIME WITHDRAW BUT THEY WILL NOT SAY THAT.
Forget being rich, $80k's all you need
What has forget being rich got to do with ‘$80k’s all you need. Why should a person forget being rich as you tell them?
What he said is rehashed, copied from others, and it is mad logic because there is no need to forget or forgetting has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
FORGETTING IS NOT SOMETHING YOU TELL OTHERS TO DO BECAUSE IT HAS DEADLY KARMA, FORGETTING IS DENYING REALITY AND YOU DON’T TELL OTHERS TO SUBVERT REALITY BY FORGETTING. FURTHER FORGETTING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MATTERS AT HAND AND IT IS MAD LOGIC THAT THE PERSON WANTS OTHERS TO ADOPT.
Answer to property conundrum may lie outside the sector
AMID the ongoing discussion on how best to tame Singapore's private housing market, a closer look is needed at the reasons for the strong demand. The answer to this property question may well lie outside the sector.
For those without true understanding the statement about the property conundrum may be valid but for those who truly understand, it is the speech of a deluded man speaking in impressive words.
THERE IS NEVER SUCH A THING CALLED CONUNDRUMS OR PARADOXES WHICH ARE AFFLICTIONS OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND TRULY TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF A SITUATION THAT IS PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE BY THOSE WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND.
THERE IS NO CONUNDRUM ABOUT THE STRONG DEMAND, IT IS IRRATIONALLY DRIVEN AND BLINDED BY GREED HEADING FOR A CLIFF, JUST LIKE THERE IS SERIOUS SOFTENING OF THE PROPERTY MARKET IN ONCE ‘MIGHTY’ HIGH FLYING AUSTRALIA.
FOR A PERSON JUST TO SPEAK OF CONUNDRUM IS TESTAMENT TO HIS DELUSION. YOU DO NOT NEED SUPERNATURAL POWERS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE CALL CONUNDRUMS THAT ARE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FALSE CONTORTED PERCEPTIONS AND UNDERSTANDING. THE WISE, THE BUDDHA NEVER SPOKE OF CONUNDRUMS OR PARADOXES THAT STRAINS HIS UNDERSTANDING.
There is no property conundrum, it is just a whopping bubble:
There is no property conundrum in Singapore or Hong Kong. Just as there was a whopping property bubble in Tokyo there is a whopping property bubble in Singapore and HK waiting for a reckoning with unravelling. When the derivative monster finally unravels with major national defaults (Greece, Spain, Portugal even UK) then the world will find it is much less wealthy that it thinks, it is just a mirage and they owe much more than they think, the money they think they had were myths just as savers’ money is banks are gone, lent recklessly to people who should not have been given credit.
SINGAPORE IS NOT SPECIAL JUST AS TOKYO WAS NOT SPECIAL, NOT ONLY IS THERE A PROPERTY BUBBLE IN SINGAPORE, IT HAS BEEN INFLATING FAR LONGER THAN FOOLS IMAGINE.
Derivatives means pay-out with default:
The important difference between default with and without derivatives riding on a loan is that there is a full sum pay-out due in the event of default with derivatives whilst there is none without derivatives and if the full sum payment is huge and those who have written the derivative do not have the means to make restitution or have to sell off assets to make payment then a default of the loan will trigger a crisis whereas without derivatives nothing happens, lenders just do not get their money from borrowers.
IN AN UNCOMPLICATED WORLD WHERE LOANS DO NOT HAVE DERIVATIVES RIDING ON THEM, DEFAULT BY BORROWERS SIMPLY MEANS LENDERS WILL NOT GET THEIR MONEY BACK WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYWAY SO WHAT IS THE FUSS?
WITH DERIVATIVES RIDING ON THE LOAN, DEFAULT MEANS LENDERS WILL SEEK RECOURSE FROM THOSE WHO WROTE THE DERIVATIVES AND IF THE LOAN AMOUNT IS MASSIVE AND GUARANTORS DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO MAKE GOOD THEIR GUARANTEE OR THEY HAVE TO LIQUIDATE IN A HURRY TO MAKE RESTITUTION, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A SYSTEM THREATENING EVENT.
DERIVATIVES ARE ABSOLUTELY LUNATIC AND THOSE BLINDED BY GREED FOR EASY MONEY WHO PURCHASED SUCH DERIVATIVES NOT REALIZING THEY ARE LIABLE FOR DISASTROUS LOSSES ARE IDIOTS, THERE IS A COVERUP OR DENIAL BY ALL, BY AUTHORITIES ABOUT THE EXTENT OF DERIVATIVES AND HOW IT IS A VERY UNSTABLE TNT (HIGHLY VOLATILE HIGH EXPLOSIVE) THAT SOONER OR LATER WILL EXPLODE BLOWING WORLD FINANCE OUT OF THE WATER.
YOU HOLD AMERICA IN HIGH ESTEEM BUT AMERICA MAY BE CRASS, LUNATIC AND THE SOURCE OF LUNATIC DERIVATIVES THAT HAVE PLACED TNT ON THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
Only an idiot will guarantee another’s loans:
If you paid me $10,000 to guarantee a $10,000 loan then there may be a case to act as guarantor because you have nothing to lose if there is a default. You are an idiot to accept $100 to guarantee the loan.
ONLY A DELUDED MAN WILL THINK IT IS A SENSIBLE PROPOSITION TO ASK OTHERS TO GUARANTEE A LOAN FOR A (SMALL) FEE AND ONLY GULLIBLE PEOPLE WILL BE ENTICED TO ACCEPT AND IT REFLECTS THE SCALE OF HUMAN STUPIDITY THAT THE MATHEMATICAL ‘WIZARDS’ AT GOLDMAN SACHS COULD INVENT AND MARKET SUCH INSTRUMENTS, THE FEDS DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE EVEN FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF ALLOWING SUCH DERIVATIVES TO THRIVE AND PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS SEE NOTHING WRONG IN BUYING SUCH INSTRUMENTS.
Why they are desperately avoiding default:
Despite the brinksmanship various authorities are working desperately to avoid a Greek default because default would mean demand for pay-out that will expose the emperor without clothes world of the trillions of derivatives riding on the world finance system.
ONCE DEFAULT IS STAVED OFF, THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE ON IN ITS MAKE BELIEVE WORLD OF EVERYTHING IS FINE WHEN IT MAY BE POSTPONING A RECKONING WITH ULTIMATE DEFAULT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE AND MASSIVE INSOLVENCY, THE DERIVATIVES ARE NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT IS WRITTEN ON AND THE WORLD’S FINANCE SYSTEM MAY COLLAPSE IN A HEAP.
Malaysia boleh buy (200 Airbus):
Airbus announces the largest single order of commercial aircraft in history as Malaysian carrier AirAsia buys 200 of its A320neo jets.
This story in a microcosm depicts the lunacy of mankind that will end in disaster for everyone.
The Air Asia CEO signs to buy the aircrafts but it is not him who stands to lose his pants but it is AirAsia and even if he owns a significant stake, it is others, even Malaysian taxpayers who may have to bail out the airline should it run into trouble.
European governments, Airbus and European banks are keen for the deal to go through because it would stimulate their economy, provide jobs, who cares if AirAsia goes belly up later.
So whilst it may boost the economy now, it may be storing up even worse problems in the future should AirAsia’s business schemes turn out to be hare brained.
THE AIRLINE BUSINESS IS VERY RISKY WITH NARROW PROFIT MARGINS AND FRAUGHT WITH DOWNTURNS. IF OIL PRICES RISES OR OIL RUNS OUT OR VOLCANOES RENDER FLIGHTS INOPERABLE THEN DISASTER CAN BEFALL EVEN THE BEST RUN AIRLINES AND SO IT TAKES A FOOL TO ORDER SO MANY AIRLINES. IF THERE IS A GUN ON HIS HEAD THAT WILL GO OFF SHOULD THE DEAL FLOP, CEOS MAY BE MORE JUDICIOUS IN THEIR BUSINESS PLANS.
MALAYSIA BOLEH BUY (IN RECORD FASHION) BUT CAN IT BOLEH MAKE IT SUCCEED?
What's special about us?
Of all human species, so why did only ours survive?
This is a presumptuous statement of someone who does not truly understand.
It does not necessarily have been specialness or superiority that made homo sapiens sapiens survive whilst mankind’s cousins became extinct.
It could be humankind’s ruthlessness, brutality exterminating or crowding out all these rivals that is responsible for our survival. Just as mankind may have caused the extinction of many animals in the past and today, even so it may be primarily man’s murderous nature that made him survive and that is nothing special.
HE IMPLIES THAT MANKIND SURVIVED WHILST HIS COUSINS PERISHED IS BECAUSE WE ARE SPECIAL. THAT IS PRESUMPTUOUS BECAUSE IT MAY BE BECAUSE MANKIND IS MORE CUT THROAT THAN THOSE WHO PERISHED.
Bottom of FormDerivatives Cloud the Possible Fallout From a Greek Default
By LOUISE STORY
It’s the $616 billion question: Does the euro crisis have a hidden A.I.G.?
No one seems to be sure, in large part because the world of derivatives is so murky. But the possibility that some company out there may have insured billions of dollars of European debt has added a new tension to the sovereign default debate.
In years past, when financial crises in Argentina and Russia left those countries unable to make good on their government debts, they simply defaulted. But this time around, swaps and other sorts of contracts have become so common and so intertwined in the financial markets that there are fears among regulators and financial players about how a Greek default would play out among derivatives holders.
The looming uncertainties are whether these contracts — which insure against possibilities like a Greek default — are concentrated in the hands of a few companies, and if these companies will be able to pay out billions of dollars to cover losses during a default. If there were a single company standing behind many of these contracts, that company would be akin to the American International Group of the euro crisis. The American insurer needed a $182 billion federal bailout during the financial crisis because it had insured the performance of mortgage bonds through derivatives and could not pay on all of them.
Even regulators seem unsure of whether a Greek default would reveal such concentrated risk in the hands of just a few companies. Spokeswomen for the central banks of both Europe and the United States would not say whether their researchers had studied holdings of such contracts among nonbank entities like insurance companies and hedge funds.
Asked about derivatives tied to Europe at a Wednesday press conference, Ben S. Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, said that the direct exposure is small but that “a disorderly default in one of those countries would no doubt roil financial markets globally. It would have a big impact on credit spreads, on stock prices and so on. And so in that respect I think the effects in the United States would be quite significant.”
Derivatives traders and analysts are debating just how much money is involved in these contracts and what sort of threat they pose to markets in Europe and the United States. On the one hand, just over $5 billion is tied up in credit-default swap contracts that will pay out if Greece defaults, according to Markit, a financial data firm based in London. That is less than 1 percent the size of Greece’s economy, but that is a conservative calculation that counts protections banks have in place offsetting their positions, and is called the net exposure.
The less conservative figure, the gross exposure, is $78.7 billion for Greece, according to Markit. And there are many other types of contracts, like about $44 billion in other guarantees tied to Greece, according to the Bank of International Settlements. The gross exposure of the five most financially pressed European Union countries — Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain — is about $616 billion. And the broader figure on all derivatives from those countries is unknown.
The pervasiveness of these opaque contracts has complicated negotiations for European officials, and it underscores calls for more transparency in the derivatives market.
The uncertainty, financial analysts say, has led European officials to push for a “voluntary” Greek bond financing solution that may sidestep a default, rather than the forced deals of other eras. “There’s not any clarity here because people don’t know,” said Christopher Whalen, editor of The Institutional Risk Analyst. “This is why the Europeans came up with this ridiculous deal, because they don’t know what’s out there. They are afraid of a default. The industry is still refusing to provide the disclosure needed to understand this. They’re holding us hostage. The Street doesn’t want you to see what they’ve written.”
Regulators are aware of this problem. Financial reform packages on both sides of the Atlantic mandated many changes to the derivatives market, and regulators around the globe are drafting new rules for these contracts that are meant to add transparency as well as security. But they are far from finished and could take years to put into effect.
Darrell Duffie, a professor who has studied derivatives at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, said that he was concerned that regulators may not have adequately studied what contagion might occur among swaps holders, in the case of a Greek default.
Regulators, he said, “have access to everything they need to have. Whether they’ve collected all the information and analyzed it is different question. I worry because many of those leaders have said there’s no way we’re going to let Greece default. Does that mean they haven’t had conversations about what happens if Greece defaults? Is their commitment so severe that they haven’t had real discussions about it in the backrooms?”
Regulators aren’t saying much. When asked what data the Federal Reserve had collected on American financial companies and their swaps tied to European debt, Barbara Hagenbaugh, a spokeswoman, referred to a speech made by Mr. Bernanke in May in which he did not mention derivatives tied to Greece. At the Wednesday press conference, Mr. Bernanke said that commonly cited data on derivatives do not take into account the offsetting positions banks have on their Greek exposures. And with those positions, he said, even if there is a Greek default, “the effects are very small.”
At the European Central Bank, Eszter Miltenyi, a spokeswoman, said: “This is much too sensitive I think for us to have a conversation on this.”
On Wall Street, traders are debating whether the industry’s process for unwinding credit-default swaps would run smoothly if Greece defaulted. The process is tightly controlled by a small group of bankers who meet in an industry group called the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.
The process is fairly well developed, but it has been little tested on the debt of countries. For the most part, Wall Street has cashed in on credit-default swaps tied to corporations’ debt.
For most purposes, determining whether a default occurred in a country’s debt falls to ratings agencies like Fitch and Moody’s. But for the derivatives market, a committee of I.S.D.A. makes the call.
If the committee decides there was a default, it passes the baton to Markit, which is partly owned by the banks. Markit holds an auction to determine how much value has been lost on the debt, and that determines how much money is paid out to the parties that purchased the insurance.
Marc Barrachin, who runs the auctions, said there was no reason to worry about the process.
“The process is very smooth, very well understood by market participants,” said Mr. Barrachin, the director of credit products at Markit. “I mean if you go back to 2008 right in the fall, in five days we had auctions for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers, and two weeks after that you had Washington Mutual. I go back to that period of stress and the orderly settlements of large amounts of credit derivatives, for names that were widely followed, were testament of the efficiency of the auction system.”
In the case of A.I.G., there was not an unwind process run by I.S.D.A. because A.I.G.’s contracts were tied to mortgage bonds. Those sorts of derivatives pay out money over time, whereas derivatives tied to a country’s debt pay out on one occasion: if a default occurs. That makes sovereign derivatives more similar to derivatives on corporate bonds and different in some ways from the situation at A.I.G.
But the smoothness of the process would be irrelevant if the risk were concentrated in just a few weak institutions.
The uncertainty around how a sovereign default would course through the derivatives market had greatly increased the price premiums banks were charging to put on new derivatives trades related to European countries. As of last week, the price to insure against default on $10 million of Greek debt was $1.9 million per year, up from $775,000 a year ago, according to Markit.
“There is lack of transparency and visibility in these products, and that increases the risk,” said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, a boutique banking firm in New York.
Najib’s son impresses with Mandarin skills
PETALING JAYA: The Prime Minister’s son Nor Ashman, 20, who speaks Mandarin, took part in his father’s radio interview on One FM Morning Kaki programme.
This is a meaningless matter that people with no true understanding find meaningful.
IT IS NOT A PERSON’S MANDARIN SKILLS BUT WHAT HE USES HIS MANDARIN SKILL TO SAY THAT IS MEANINGFUL AND PRODUCTIVE THAT IS RELEVANT. IF IT IS WHAT HE SAYS WITH MANDARIN THAT IS IMPORTANT, WHY ARE YOU BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE BEING IMPRESSED BY HIS MANDARIN SKILLS? SO HIS MANDARIN SKILLS IS IMPRESSIVE, BUT WHAT IS HE SAYING THAT IS MEANINGFUL USING IT?
THE MOTIVE IS TO PUBLICIZE THE INFORMATION FOR SHOW SO THAT NAJIB AND HIS SON WOULD BE VIEWED FAVOURABLY BY THE CHINESE PUBLIC.
IT IS NEVER A PERSON’S MANDARIN OR SANSKRIT SKILL THAT IS THE MATTER BUT WHAT HE USES THE MANDARIN THAT IS PRODUCTIVE THAT MATTERS.
‘IMPRESSES’ MEANS HE STIRS YOUR MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY WITH HIS MANDARIN SKILLS. WHY SHOULD YOUR MENTAL FORCE BE STIRRED STRESSFULLY AND OF WHAT MEANING IS THAT STIRRING IN RESPONSE TO HIS MANDARIN SKILLS? THIS IS A FOOL SPEAKING.
Derivatives should be banned not regulated:
Reflecting their continued thick unawakening delusion, governments talk about regulating, more transparency in the derivative markets.
THE TRUTH MAY BE DERIVATIVES SHOULD BE BANNED, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE, THERE IS NO PLACE FOR SUCH DANGEROUS SHENANIGANS THAT ATTEMPT TO HIVE OFF RISKS TO UNSUSPECTING OTHERS OR FOOLISH INVESTORS WHO THINK THEY ARE INTO EASY MONEY GUARANTEEING OTHERS’ LOANS.
IN THE SAME WAY, THE OIL AND COMMODITY MARKETS SHOULD BE PURGED OFF ALL SPECULATORS, ALL THOSE WHO ARE BUYING AND SELLING WITHOUT ANY USE FOR THE OIL THEY BUY AND SELL.
YOU THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, HOW COME THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND SUCH SIMPLE THINGS?
Like telling a thief to be more transparent:
Calling for more transparency in the derivative market is like calling on thieves to be more transparent, to tell the world what they are doing.
IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE IT IS DECEPTIVE, CHEATING AND PASSING THE SHIT TO OTHERS THAT THE DERIVATIVE MARKET IS SO OPAQUE AND CALLING FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY IS ASKING THE IMPOSSIBLE, ASKING THIEVES TO COME CLEAN SO THAT THEY CAN BE THROWN INTO JAILS.
Meditation is fast gaining popularity among urbanites
This is a Star news item.
You can forever meditate but as long as the person continues to use force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness he will not gain more than temporary in vain respite from stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate and he is headed for cliff of doom after he dies.
EVEN IF A PERSON DOES NOT MEDITATE, IF OBJECTIVELY HE HAS STOPPED USING FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS HE WILL EXPERIENCE AN EFFORTLESS FREEDOM FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND THAT IS ALWAYS A PLEASANT ABIDING HERE AND EVEN AN ETERNITY OF HEAVENLY BLISS LATER.
THOSE WHO MEDITATE ARE DRIVEN BY STRESS TO DO SO BUT THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHO TAKE HEALTH FOODS, PRACTICE YOGA OR TAI CHI OR EXERCISE AVIDLY BECAUSE THEY ARE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.
IT IS NOT THE LACK OF MEDITATION THAT IS THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING HERE BUT IT IS THE CONSTANT MINDLESS, MAD FOR SHOW USING OF FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS.
MEDITATION MAY BE GAINING POPULARITY BUT TO WHAT EXTENT AND HOW FAST? IF MEDITATION IS RELATIVELY ISOLATED AND NOT GAINING FAST A HE CLAIMS IT IS A FALSE STATEMENT TO HYPE WITHOUT ASCERTAINING THE TRUTH OF WHAT IS STATED WITH DEADLY KARMA TO THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE.
The Buddha:
Little though he recites the sacred texts, but puts the Teaching into practice, forsaking lust, hatred, and delusion, with true wisdom and emancipated mind, clinging to nothing of this or any other world -- he indeed partakes of the blessings of a holy life.
In the same way, little does he meditate but if he stops stretching his syllables, stops changing speed and loudness, he will obtain far greater freedom from suffering than from lifelong dedicated meditation without shedding his evil style.
THERE ARE MANY PROFESSIONAL BUDDHIST MONKS, ZEN OR OTHERWISE WHO SPEND HOURS MEDITATING YET THEY HAVE ACHIEVED NO ENLIGHTENMENT, THEIR SPEECH AND APPEARANCE IS AS DELUDED AS EVER AND SO MEDITATION PER SE IS NOT THE PATH TO ESCAPE FROM SUFFERING.
Effort-full and effortless freedom from stress:
To meditate or strive to drive out risen stress is an ‘efforted’ force based fabricated false attempt to escape suffering that itself generates stress.
What is an effortless freedom from stress?
If you TRULY never use force to stretch your syllables, change speed and loudness you will automatically save a lot of energy, avoid exposing your mind to unnecessary force and that means the mind is automatically effortlessly freed from stress.
IT IS FORCE ACTING ON A MIND THAT CAUSES STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND SO A PERSON WHO DOES NOT WASTE HIS ENERGY STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS AUTOMATICALLY REDUCES HIS MIND’S EXPOSURE TO FORCE AND THAT IS AUTOMATICALLY AND EFFORTLESSLY A FREEDOM FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION.
WHEN YOU EXERCISE, EAT HEALTH FOODS, PRACTICE TAI CHI OR YOGA OR MEDITATE YOU ARE MAKING EFFORT TO COUNTER STRESS ACCORDING TO A PLAN AND SO YOU ARE A ROBOT.
STOP USING FORCE INCESSANTLY TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND FREEDOM FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE IS AUTOMATICALLY, EFFORTLESSLY YOURS.
Even if you meditate obsessively you still have terrible karma:
A person may devoutly meditate but so long as he continues to spew force prolonging syllables, changing speed and loudness, he is guilty of plying others with deadly force, with causing stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate in others and that is deadly karma to be experienced as future suffering that is as vast as an ocean dwarfing into insignificance whatever temporary respite from his meditation.
ANYONE WHO STRETCHES HIS SYLLABLES, CHANGES SPEED AND LOUDNESS HAS DEADLY KARMA THAT LEADS TO SUFFERING AS VAST AS AN OCEAN BECAUSE HE IS GUILTY OF HARMING OTHERS WITH STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION BY PLYING OTHERS WITH FORCE AND SO WHATEVER RESPITE HE GAINS FROM MEDITATION IS INSIGNIFICANT BY COMPARISON.
The goal of meditation is higher mental states:
There is no other goal in meditation except to achieve in progression, succession the four higher states of mind (serenity of mind and body, cessation of thinking, neither liking nor disliking, neither pain nor pleasure).
THUS IF YOU MEDITATE AVIDLY AND HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANY HIGHER STATE OF MIND THEN YOU ARE MEDITATING IN VAIN.
IF IN DAILY LIFE YOU HAVE ATTAINED SERENITY OF MIND AND BODY WITH THINKING YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF MIND THAT IS THE GOAL OF MEDITATION, IF YOU CAN GO ABOUT WITHOUT THINKING WITH A ONE POINTED MIND FOCUSSING ON THE PRESENT, YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE SECOND HIGHER STATE OF THE MIND.
YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF THE MIND THAT IS THE GOAL OF MEDITATION WITHOUT STOPPING THE MAD USE OF FORCE TO CONSTANTLY STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS.
BECAUSE THOSE WHO MEDITATE REGULARLY CONTINUE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS, THEY HAVE NOT ACHIEVED THE FIRST GOAL OF MEDITATION, SERENITY OF MIND WITH DISCURSIVE THINKING AND SO THEY ARE MEDITATING IN VAIN.
Scrubbing up: Provocative thoughts about health
You need force to provoke and provoking is about using force.
The person with true understanding speaks about useful or relevant thoughts about health and it is an unconscious exposition of a person’s absence of true understanding that he understands thoughts as provocative, it is the stirring of his mental force to be provoked that is important and meaningful to him.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF STIRRING YOUR BLIND WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING MENTAL FORCE TO BE PROVOKED GOT TO DO WITH THOUGHTS OR IDEAS ABOUT HEALTH? THIS IS A SENSELESS STATEMENT THAT ONLY THOSE WITHOUT TRUE UNDERSTANDING ACCEPT AND PERCEIVE AS FULL OF MEANING.
More important they be provoked than understand:
Always, it is more important that emotional stylish people are provoked (to like, dislike, be sad, hurt, confused or fear) what is happening or has happened than that they should truly understand exactly as it actually is, what is happening.
IT IS NEVER THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS HAPPENING OR WHAT IS PRESENTED TO THEM THAT IS IMPORTANT (BECAUSE THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF TRUE UNDERSTANDING, ONLY REHASHED FAKED RECORDED UNDERSTANDINGS) BUT IT IS THE PROVOKING TO LIKE, DISLIKE, SAD, HURT, AGITATED/CONFUSED OR FEARFUL THAT IS THE MATTER OR IMPORTANT. IF YOU THINK THEY UNDERSTAND OR UNDERSTANDING IS PRIMARY OBJECTIVE YOU ARE DELUDED, UNDERSTAND FALSELY HERE AS EVERYWHERE ELSE.
How the treatment of Conrad Black bleeds the heart:
This is an UK newspaper headline and only a delusional man can say that.
By ‘bleeding the heart’ is mean hurt, one of six basic emotions. He has a right to say bleeds HIS heart but he is lapsing into falsity speaking for others, bleeds THE heart because it does not bleed everyone’s heart.
WHAT IS THE POINTING OF BLEEDING YOUR HEART OR FEELING HURT OR STIRRING YOUR BLIND MENTAL FORCE PAINFULLY, NOT THAT HE CAN HELP IT BECAUSE HE IS A SLAVE OF HIS STIRRED HURT THAT CAN OVERWHELM HIM BUT IT IS A MEANINGLESS CONDITIONED PAINFUL STIRRING OF HIS MENTAL FORCE THAT DOES NO USEFUL WORK AND IS CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT ENDS IN UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY FOR THE FOOL WHO SEES NOTHING WRONG IN BEING HURT AND INDULGES HIS HURT.
AS THE BUDDHA SAID, TO THE ONE WHO IS RELEASED, NOTHING IS DEAR OR NOT DEAR AND THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE, SO LONG AS THERE ARE THINGS OR BEINGS DEAR OR NOT DEAR TO YOU, YOU MUST SUFFER AND YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW. ONLY THE PERSON WHO SEES EVERYTHING AS EMPTY, WITHOUT PERMANENCE, WITHOUT EVERLASTING MEANING HAS RIGHT VIEW.
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF HURT BUT WHAT HAS CONRAD BLACK DONE THAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG THAT DESERVES HIS IMPRISONMENT. IF HE HAS DONE A LOT OF WRONG IN HIS CORPORATE AFFAIRS THEN HIS IMPRISONMENT IS JUSTIFIED AND EVEN FAR WORSE PUNISHMENT, HELL AWAITS HIM AND IS NOT A MATTER OF BEING HURT BUT IS HIS TREATMENT RIGHT OR WRONG, WHERE IS THERE HURT IN THE EQUATION?
BEING HURT IS THE INAPPROPRIATE PERCEPTION AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CONRAD BLACK AND SO THE PERSON IS DEMONSTRATING HIS WRONG EMOTIONAL OR FORCE BASED UNDERSTANDING OF AN EVENT, CONRAD BLACK’S IMPRISONMENT.
SAY IT BLEEDS YOUR HEART, DON’T SPEAK FOR OTHERS BY SAYING IT BLEEDS THE HEART.
Injury threatens Rafael Nadal title bid
It reflects universal false understanding here that people see nothing wrong with what is stated with it is deadly wrong.
Injury may prevent or abort Nadal’s bid, not threaten. Only a being can threaten another and injury may prevent or cut short his title bid.
As the Buddha said, there is proper and improper speech, if you truly understood what you said or heard, you should understand injury cannot threaten anyone but it may prevent Nadal’s quest.
It still is a game:
Some say football is just a game. But the television pictures of hundreds of grown men reduced to tears and the scenes of violence and frustration after the game testify that in Argentina, at least to River Plate fans, it's much more than that.
There are many who will agree or see nothing wrong with the reasoning.
EVEN IF MEN ARE REDUCED TO TEARS AND THERE ARE SCENES OF VIOLENCE, FOOTBALL STILL IS A GAME, TO CONCLUDE THAT FOOTBALL IS NOT JUST A GAME BECAUSE STRONG MEN ARE REDUCED TO TEARS IS FALSE LOGIC THAT ENDS IN MAD LOGIC. THIS IS OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE PEOPLE REASON AND UNDERSTAND FALSELY AND THIS IS NEVER HARMLESS BUT ENDANGERS THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WHO MUST INTERACT WITH THEM.
The counsellor will show it to you:
In the King James Bible, Jesus said the counsellor will take from what is his and show it to you.
What is Jesus’ comprises what he said or revealed in the New Testament and also things he did not say.
Thus the counsellor will take from what is Jesus’ that he spoke but no one else has shown it to you plus things unspoken that the counsellor will take from what is Jesus’ (that was unspoken before) and show it to you.
WHAT JESUS SAID IMPLIES THAT WHAT HE SAID OR IS HIS REQUIRES BEING SHOWN TO YOU BY THE COUNSELLOR.
IF OTHERS CAN OR HAVE SHOWN IT TO YOU THEN IT IS FALSE TO SAY THE COUNSELLOR WILL SHOW IT TO YOU.
You must be shown and only the counsellor can show:
What Jesus said that the counsellor will take from what is His and show it to you implies that you cannot know it yourself, you must be shown, no one else can or will show it to you and only the counsellor will show it to you.
Why they killed Jesus:
It was not for a frivolous reason or God planned the show that the priests wanted Jesus dead. Jesus was attracting a lot of followers with his teaching and miracles and the ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’ may be when Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead before a large crowd. Lazarus had died 4 days ago and was buried in a cave and Jesus went to the cave before a crowd and called Lazarus to come out and he came and this demonstrated that he had supernatural powers that the priests were jealous and afraid would usurp their authority with the people and made it imperative that Jesus should be killed.
JESUS PUBLICLY BRINGING LAZARUS BACK FROM THE DEAD 4 DAYS AFTER HE WAS BURIED MAY HAVE STIRRED THE PRIESTS TO ACT BECAUSE JESUS WAS UNDERMINING THEIR AUTHORITY.
Like what they are doing to Anwar:
When goats feel their authority and right to rule is undermined they do what it takes by hook or crook to maintain their power and just as they are doing what it takes to sabotage Anwar, just as goats will fight nail and tooth to retain power in Egypt, Libya and now Syria, even so the priests felt driven to preserve their authority by getting rid of Jesus through trumped up charges.
IT IS TO BE EXPECTED THAT WHENEVER SOMEONE APPEARS WHO THREATENS THE AUTHORITY OF EVIL GOATS THEY WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES BY HOOK OR CROOK TO ELIMINATE THAT RIVAL.
IT IS TO BE EXPECTED (AND BE INEVITABLE) WHEN JESUS APPEARED AND BEGAN HEALING THE SICK AND CRIPPLED AND STARTED TO PREACH IN CONTRADICTION TO THE HIGH PRIESTS, THAT THEY WOULD RETALIATE AND WANT TO DESTROY THEIR NEMESIS.
Power to women
The private sector has five years to ensure that women make up at least 30% of those in decision-making positions. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said this policy had been approved by the Cabinet
Anyone speaking thus is speaking senselessly courting insanity.
The person has no powers to confer power to women so he or she is speaking falsely without power advocating power to women.
BEING A WOMAN IS NOT A CORRECT CRITERIA FOR HAVING POWER, IT IS WHEN A PERSON IS QUALIFIED AND ELECTED OR CHOSEN TO HOLD POWER, AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX, RACE, AGE OR WHATEVER ELSE THAT HE OR SHE THUS HOLDS POWER.
FIRST OF ALL ARE YOU IN A POSITION TO CONFER POWER TO WOMEN? IF YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO CONFER POWER TO WOMEN YOU ARE SPEAKING WITHOUT BACKUP. IF YOU ARE SPEAKING TO FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE OF WOMAN IN TERMS OF WIELDING POWER THEN YOU ARE DELUDED BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THIS WORLD MAY BE BIASED, UNFAIR, THAT A PERSON IS FEMALE IS NOT A IGHT CRITERIA FOR CONFERRING POWER BUT ABILITY & QUALIFICATION THE CRITERIA FOR CONFERRING POWER.
NEVERTHELESS AS THE BUDDHA SAID, THERE ARE CERTAIN POSITIONS FOR WHICH WOMEN ARE EXCLUDED EG THE FATHER OR GOD IS ALWAYS MALE, BUDDHA, HIS DEPUTIES, THE RULER OF GODS, BRAHMAS AND THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS MALE. THIS EXCLUSION MAY NOT BE BASED ON PREJUDICE BUT MERIT OR THERE ARE REASONS.
The purpose is to court the female vote:
It is not because the person understands what he says or knows that it is true that he says, ‘power to women’ but what he said is driven by emotion, driven by motive to pander to women voters as if he is their champion and therefore they should vote for him. Thus everything is self serving, he is serving himself saying so.
YES, ‘POWER TO WOMEN’ BUT NOT WHEN MY JOB IS ON THE LINE OR AFTER I STEP DOWN THEN WOMEN CAN TAKE OVER.
Slogans:
“Power to women” is a slogan and slogans are false sweeping or nonspecific statements intended to impress or stir others’ mental force to be attracted, not directed at a person’s reason or understanding.
SLOGANS ARE DESIGNED TO BE CATCHY (AND YOU NEED TO STIR FORCE TO BE CATCHY), SWEEPING OR NONSPECIFIC, CAN BE APPLIED TO MANY SITUATIONS AND SO IT IS MEMORIZED TO BE REHASHED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THE PERSON IS A ROBOT. THUS MALAYSIANS HAVE LEARNT TO SMILE AND POINT THEIR FINGERS TO SAY “I MALAYSIA” AND THIS TOO IS A SLOGAN AND ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE AND APPLYING ARE ROBOTS DOING AS THEY ARE TOLD.
Microsoft Office put in the cloud
Microsoft is launching a cloud-based version of its Office software suite that makes the programs accessible via the web.
There is no cloud and Microsoft Office is not put in the cloud except in your cultivated false perception that is not harmless but has deadly consequences.
“Microsoft Office” put on the internet or becomes web based is the correct description of what has happened. The internet is not a cloud except in your fabrication that is deadly.
Desire to make much ending in false perception:
The internet is the internet and a cloud is a cloud. The internet is not a cloud so why do people start calling it a cloud?
It is foremost driven by an urge (that is based on force) to make more than there is in the internet, to be different (you call it internet, I call it ‘cloud’) coupled with restlessness that the fool does not realize conditions him to increasingly view the internet as a cloud when the internet is the internet and a cloud is a cloud.
VERY SOON THE FOOL PERCEIVES AND ACCEPTS THAT CLOUD MEANS INTERNET WHEN THERE IS A SPECIFIC DESIGNATION FOR A CLOUD AND IT IS NOT THE INTERNET.
EMOTIONAL STYLISH PEOPLE HAVE AN URGE TO EXAGGERATE, TO MAKE MORE THAN THERE IS IN SOMETHING, THEY WANT TO DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES FROM OTHERS BY COINING NEW ‘CHIC’ OR FASHIONABLE WORDS FOR THE SAME OLD THING AND SO THEY FABRICATE, FALSIFY AND START TO SAY THE INTERNET IS THE CLOUD NOT REALIZING THEY ARE FLIRTING WITH INSANITY AND WILL BE REWARDED WITH INSANITY.
You are guilty of confusing others:
The uninitiated who do not realize by ‘cloud’ you mean internet will be confused, might become embarrassed that they do not know what you mean by cloud and so anxiously try to find out what this ‘cloud’ is all about when it is much ado about nothing, it is just the ‘good old’ internet.
THUS IF YOU MISCHIEVOUSLY CALL THE INTERNET THE CLOUD JUST TO BE DIFFERENT AND IMPRESS, YOU ARE CREATING KARMA FOR YOURSELF TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE SUFFERING FOR CAUSING CONFUSION AND DIFFICULTIES TO OTHERS FOR TOTALLY UNNECESSARY PURPOSES.
RPK does not know what he talks:
RPK: History is an interpretation of events. You can’t change the actual events in history. But you can interpret the events. And everyone would have his/her own interpretation of things. For example, to the British it was ‘The Indian Mutiny’. To the Indians it was a ‘Fight for Independence’. The event never changes. How you perceive it would.
HISTORY IS NEVER AN INTERPRETATION OF EVENTS BUT TRUE HISTORY IS A RECORD OF EVENTS AS IT HAPPENS. WHATEVER IS INTERPRETED IS NO LONGER TRUE HISTORY BUT DOCTORED BIASED HISTORY.
ANYONE WHO SAYS HISTORY IS AN INTERPRETATION OF EVENTS IS SANCTIONING DOCTORING HISTORY, OF INTERPRETING EVENTS AS YOU PLEASE AND THAT IS WRONG AND HAS DEADLY KARMA.
RPK is a proud conceited man who fancies himself as an expert, delving in this and that not realizing his views are seriously false piling up future suffering for himself.
Even if everyone in this world falsifies his history, interpret events to favour themselves, history is in truth a factual record of what has happened, not an interpretation of events and to say so is to mislead others and that has karma to be experienced as suffering not merit.
In the uncomplicated simple world of the past, if bankers lent money say to Greece, then their money is tied and if Greece defaults, it means the money that has been tied, borrowed by Greece will not be returned.
In a derivative backed world, when Greece defaults, lenders who have taken derivative contracts on what they lent to Greece will demand repayment in full from the insurers or writers of those derivatives and those who have stood guarantee may not have the billions necessary to fulfil their surety, many may be unaware they have stood surety for these rotten loans because these sureties have been parcelled off to many unsuspecting buyers who only think of the commissions they were paid to stand surety not realizing their heads are potentially on the chopping boards in the event of a default.
IN A DERIVATIVE BACKED WORLD, WHEN GREECE DEFAULTS THE LENDERS CAN SEEK INSURANCE REPAYMENT FROM THOSE ISSUERS OF DERIVATIVES WHO MAY HAVE STOOD GUARANTEE WITHOUT SETTING ASIDE MONEY IN THE EVENT OF CONTINGENCIES OR MAY NOT REALIZE THEY ARE IN THE LINE OF FIRE BECAUSE THE GUARANTEES HAVE BEEN SPLIT UP INTO MANY PARCELS.
IN THE PAST, LENDERS’ MONEY IS TIED WITH GREECE AND IF GREECE DEFAULTS IT MEANS THEIR ALREADY TIED MONEY CANNOT BE ACCESSED THAT’S ALL. IN THIS SURETY BACKED WORLD, WHEN GREECE DEFAULTS, LENDERS WILL LOOK FOR REPAYMENT FROM THOSE WHO INSURED THE LOANS AND THERE IS A ‘WHOPPING’ SUM OF MONEY TO BE COUGHED UP BY THESE INSURERS WHO MAY NOT HAVE MADE PROVISIONS TO PAY.
The dangerously delusional logic of derivatives:
Derivatives have been touted as a wonderful modern innovation to efficiently distribute capital for lending boosting the economy. Even Greenspan sang its praises.
Supposed derivatives may be compared with walking around in your underwear or even without underwear would you be deluded to tout it as modern superefficient garments?
The lender should take full responsibility for his lending, that way he would be more judicious or shrewd in his lending. In this idiotic ‘masters of the universe’ world, lenders and their regulators think it is brilliant if lenders can pay others a premium to insure what they lend so that in any eventualities, it is not the lender who is at risk but those who insured those loans.
WITH DERIVATIVES IT IS DE FACTO THOSE WHO BOUGHT THE DERIVATIVES WHO ARE THE LENDERS OF THE MONEY ALREADY THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO LEND, THEY POCKET THE PREMIUMS IF NOTHING HAPPENS BUT IN A DEFAULT THEY ARE LIABLE TO PAY UP WHICH THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY.
THUS LENDERS WHO HAVE ISSUED DERIVATIVES FOR WHAT THEY LEND CAN LIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF LOSS BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT, THOSE WHO ISSUED THE DERIVATIVES ARE LIABLE TO MAKE GOOD WHAT THEY FOOLISHLY OR GREEDILY LENT.
PEOPLE THINK NOTHING EVEN THINK IT IS NECESSARY AND BRILLIANT BUT DERIVATIVES MAY BE BASED ON MAD LOGIC WHERE LENDERS CAN LEND WITH IMPUNITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TAKEN OUT INSURANCE FOR WHAT THEY LENT SO THAT IN CASE OF DEFAULT THEY ARE NOT AT RISK BUT WILL GET THEIR MONEY BACK WHILST THOSE WHO DID NOT LEND THE MONEY ARE AT RISK THAT THEY MAY NOT REALIZE TO MAKE GOOD THE HUGE SUMS OF MONEY THEY UNDERTOOK TO GUARANTEE.
Derivatives a fundamental idiocy of logic:
Derivatives may be a monumental faux pas, a fundamental idiocy of logic and it reflects modern greed blinded delusion that they perceive it falsely as a marvellous mathematically backed instrument of fail-safe lending to the hilt.
If those who insured the loans have the money to lend, why don’t they lend it DIRECTLY themselves rather than collect the small bribe to guarantee the loan and hope nothing goes wrong?
Once lenders have paid a small fee or premium for their loans they made, theoretically they are no longer at risk, they will reap the interests of their loans (minus the fee they paid to insure those loans) in theoretically ‘SURE WIN’ lending.
THIS IS SHEER FOLLY OF A GIANT MAGNITUDE THAT LENDERS CAN LEND WITHOUT RISK BY ASKING OTHERS TO STAND SURETY FOR THEIR LOANS FOR A FEE WHILST THERE ARE FOOLS OUT THERE WILLING TO STICK THEIR NECKS OUT ON A CHOPPING BOARD FOR A SMALL BRIBE. DE FACTO THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE LENDING WITHOUT PUTTING OUT THE MONEY WHILST THOSE WHO LEND WILL REAP THE INTEREST PAID BUT THEY ARE NOT AT RISK OF DEFAULT.
Obama orders cut in Afghan force
President Barack Obama announces the withdrawal of 10,000 US troops from Afghanistan this year - and another 23,000 by September 2012
This may show how facetious or self serving people are.
All along it is not Afghanistan that America invaded to save, they invaded Afghanistan because Bin Laden was there and they wanted to get him at all costs.
NOW THAT BIN LADEN IS DEAD, THERE MAY BE NO REASON TO STAY IN AFGHANISTAN, WHO CARES IF THE CURRENT LEADER HAS HIS TESTICLES CUT BY THE TALABAN AS THE PREVIOUS RUSSIANS STOOGE HAD HIS TESTICLES CUT. MANY VALUABLE AMERICANS LIVES ARE BEING LOST THERE AND SO NOW THAT THEIR OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN MET, BIN LADEN IS DEAD, IT IS TIME WITHDRAW BUT THEY WILL NOT SAY THAT.
Forget being rich, $80k's all you need
What has forget being rich got to do with ‘$80k’s all you need. Why should a person forget being rich as you tell them?
What he said is rehashed, copied from others, and it is mad logic because there is no need to forget or forgetting has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
FORGETTING IS NOT SOMETHING YOU TELL OTHERS TO DO BECAUSE IT HAS DEADLY KARMA, FORGETTING IS DENYING REALITY AND YOU DON’T TELL OTHERS TO SUBVERT REALITY BY FORGETTING. FURTHER FORGETTING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MATTERS AT HAND AND IT IS MAD LOGIC THAT THE PERSON WANTS OTHERS TO ADOPT.
Answer to property conundrum may lie outside the sector
AMID the ongoing discussion on how best to tame Singapore's private housing market, a closer look is needed at the reasons for the strong demand. The answer to this property question may well lie outside the sector.
For those without true understanding the statement about the property conundrum may be valid but for those who truly understand, it is the speech of a deluded man speaking in impressive words.
THERE IS NEVER SUCH A THING CALLED CONUNDRUMS OR PARADOXES WHICH ARE AFFLICTIONS OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND TRULY TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF A SITUATION THAT IS PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE BY THOSE WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND.
THERE IS NO CONUNDRUM ABOUT THE STRONG DEMAND, IT IS IRRATIONALLY DRIVEN AND BLINDED BY GREED HEADING FOR A CLIFF, JUST LIKE THERE IS SERIOUS SOFTENING OF THE PROPERTY MARKET IN ONCE ‘MIGHTY’ HIGH FLYING AUSTRALIA.
FOR A PERSON JUST TO SPEAK OF CONUNDRUM IS TESTAMENT TO HIS DELUSION. YOU DO NOT NEED SUPERNATURAL POWERS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE CALL CONUNDRUMS THAT ARE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FALSE CONTORTED PERCEPTIONS AND UNDERSTANDING. THE WISE, THE BUDDHA NEVER SPOKE OF CONUNDRUMS OR PARADOXES THAT STRAINS HIS UNDERSTANDING.
There is no property conundrum, it is just a whopping bubble:
There is no property conundrum in Singapore or Hong Kong. Just as there was a whopping property bubble in Tokyo there is a whopping property bubble in Singapore and HK waiting for a reckoning with unravelling. When the derivative monster finally unravels with major national defaults (Greece, Spain, Portugal even UK) then the world will find it is much less wealthy that it thinks, it is just a mirage and they owe much more than they think, the money they think they had were myths just as savers’ money is banks are gone, lent recklessly to people who should not have been given credit.
SINGAPORE IS NOT SPECIAL JUST AS TOKYO WAS NOT SPECIAL, NOT ONLY IS THERE A PROPERTY BUBBLE IN SINGAPORE, IT HAS BEEN INFLATING FAR LONGER THAN FOOLS IMAGINE.
Derivatives means pay-out with default:
The important difference between default with and without derivatives riding on a loan is that there is a full sum pay-out due in the event of default with derivatives whilst there is none without derivatives and if the full sum payment is huge and those who have written the derivative do not have the means to make restitution or have to sell off assets to make payment then a default of the loan will trigger a crisis whereas without derivatives nothing happens, lenders just do not get their money from borrowers.
IN AN UNCOMPLICATED WORLD WHERE LOANS DO NOT HAVE DERIVATIVES RIDING ON THEM, DEFAULT BY BORROWERS SIMPLY MEANS LENDERS WILL NOT GET THEIR MONEY BACK WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYWAY SO WHAT IS THE FUSS?
WITH DERIVATIVES RIDING ON THE LOAN, DEFAULT MEANS LENDERS WILL SEEK RECOURSE FROM THOSE WHO WROTE THE DERIVATIVES AND IF THE LOAN AMOUNT IS MASSIVE AND GUARANTORS DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO MAKE GOOD THEIR GUARANTEE OR THEY HAVE TO LIQUIDATE IN A HURRY TO MAKE RESTITUTION, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A SYSTEM THREATENING EVENT.
DERIVATIVES ARE ABSOLUTELY LUNATIC AND THOSE BLINDED BY GREED FOR EASY MONEY WHO PURCHASED SUCH DERIVATIVES NOT REALIZING THEY ARE LIABLE FOR DISASTROUS LOSSES ARE IDIOTS, THERE IS A COVERUP OR DENIAL BY ALL, BY AUTHORITIES ABOUT THE EXTENT OF DERIVATIVES AND HOW IT IS A VERY UNSTABLE TNT (HIGHLY VOLATILE HIGH EXPLOSIVE) THAT SOONER OR LATER WILL EXPLODE BLOWING WORLD FINANCE OUT OF THE WATER.
YOU HOLD AMERICA IN HIGH ESTEEM BUT AMERICA MAY BE CRASS, LUNATIC AND THE SOURCE OF LUNATIC DERIVATIVES THAT HAVE PLACED TNT ON THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
Only an idiot will guarantee another’s loans:
If you paid me $10,000 to guarantee a $10,000 loan then there may be a case to act as guarantor because you have nothing to lose if there is a default. You are an idiot to accept $100 to guarantee the loan.
ONLY A DELUDED MAN WILL THINK IT IS A SENSIBLE PROPOSITION TO ASK OTHERS TO GUARANTEE A LOAN FOR A (SMALL) FEE AND ONLY GULLIBLE PEOPLE WILL BE ENTICED TO ACCEPT AND IT REFLECTS THE SCALE OF HUMAN STUPIDITY THAT THE MATHEMATICAL ‘WIZARDS’ AT GOLDMAN SACHS COULD INVENT AND MARKET SUCH INSTRUMENTS, THE FEDS DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE EVEN FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF ALLOWING SUCH DERIVATIVES TO THRIVE AND PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS SEE NOTHING WRONG IN BUYING SUCH INSTRUMENTS.
Why they are desperately avoiding default:
Despite the brinksmanship various authorities are working desperately to avoid a Greek default because default would mean demand for pay-out that will expose the emperor without clothes world of the trillions of derivatives riding on the world finance system.
ONCE DEFAULT IS STAVED OFF, THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE ON IN ITS MAKE BELIEVE WORLD OF EVERYTHING IS FINE WHEN IT MAY BE POSTPONING A RECKONING WITH ULTIMATE DEFAULT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE AND MASSIVE INSOLVENCY, THE DERIVATIVES ARE NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT IS WRITTEN ON AND THE WORLD’S FINANCE SYSTEM MAY COLLAPSE IN A HEAP.
Malaysia boleh buy (200 Airbus):
Airbus announces the largest single order of commercial aircraft in history as Malaysian carrier AirAsia buys 200 of its A320neo jets.
This story in a microcosm depicts the lunacy of mankind that will end in disaster for everyone.
The Air Asia CEO signs to buy the aircrafts but it is not him who stands to lose his pants but it is AirAsia and even if he owns a significant stake, it is others, even Malaysian taxpayers who may have to bail out the airline should it run into trouble.
European governments, Airbus and European banks are keen for the deal to go through because it would stimulate their economy, provide jobs, who cares if AirAsia goes belly up later.
So whilst it may boost the economy now, it may be storing up even worse problems in the future should AirAsia’s business schemes turn out to be hare brained.
THE AIRLINE BUSINESS IS VERY RISKY WITH NARROW PROFIT MARGINS AND FRAUGHT WITH DOWNTURNS. IF OIL PRICES RISES OR OIL RUNS OUT OR VOLCANOES RENDER FLIGHTS INOPERABLE THEN DISASTER CAN BEFALL EVEN THE BEST RUN AIRLINES AND SO IT TAKES A FOOL TO ORDER SO MANY AIRLINES. IF THERE IS A GUN ON HIS HEAD THAT WILL GO OFF SHOULD THE DEAL FLOP, CEOS MAY BE MORE JUDICIOUS IN THEIR BUSINESS PLANS.
MALAYSIA BOLEH BUY (IN RECORD FASHION) BUT CAN IT BOLEH MAKE IT SUCCEED?
What's special about us?
Of all human species, so why did only ours survive?
This is a presumptuous statement of someone who does not truly understand.
It does not necessarily have been specialness or superiority that made homo sapiens sapiens survive whilst mankind’s cousins became extinct.
It could be humankind’s ruthlessness, brutality exterminating or crowding out all these rivals that is responsible for our survival. Just as mankind may have caused the extinction of many animals in the past and today, even so it may be primarily man’s murderous nature that made him survive and that is nothing special.
HE IMPLIES THAT MANKIND SURVIVED WHILST HIS COUSINS PERISHED IS BECAUSE WE ARE SPECIAL. THAT IS PRESUMPTUOUS BECAUSE IT MAY BE BECAUSE MANKIND IS MORE CUT THROAT THAN THOSE WHO PERISHED.

Bottom of FormDerivatives Cloud the Possible Fallout From a Greek Default
By LOUISE STORY
It’s the $616 billion question: Does the euro crisis have a hidden A.I.G.?
No one seems to be sure, in large part because the world of derivatives is so murky. But the possibility that some company out there may have insured billions of dollars of European debt has added a new tension to the sovereign default debate.
In years past, when financial crises in Argentina and Russia left those countries unable to make good on their government debts, they simply defaulted. But this time around, swaps and other sorts of contracts have become so common and so intertwined in the financial markets that there are fears among regulators and financial players about how a Greek default would play out among derivatives holders.
The looming uncertainties are whether these contracts — which insure against possibilities like a Greek default — are concentrated in the hands of a few companies, and if these companies will be able to pay out billions of dollars to cover losses during a default. If there were a single company standing behind many of these contracts, that company would be akin to the American International Group of the euro crisis. The American insurer needed a $182 billion federal bailout during the financial crisis because it had insured the performance of mortgage bonds through derivatives and could not pay on all of them.
Even regulators seem unsure of whether a Greek default would reveal such concentrated risk in the hands of just a few companies. Spokeswomen for the central banks of both Europe and the United States would not say whether their researchers had studied holdings of such contracts among nonbank entities like insurance companies and hedge funds.
Asked about derivatives tied to Europe at a Wednesday press conference, Ben S. Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, said that the direct exposure is small but that “a disorderly default in one of those countries would no doubt roil financial markets globally. It would have a big impact on credit spreads, on stock prices and so on. And so in that respect I think the effects in the United States would be quite significant.”
Derivatives traders and analysts are debating just how much money is involved in these contracts and what sort of threat they pose to markets in Europe and the United States. On the one hand, just over $5 billion is tied up in credit-default swap contracts that will pay out if Greece defaults, according to Markit, a financial data firm based in London. That is less than 1 percent the size of Greece’s economy, but that is a conservative calculation that counts protections banks have in place offsetting their positions, and is called the net exposure.
The less conservative figure, the gross exposure, is $78.7 billion for Greece, according to Markit. And there are many other types of contracts, like about $44 billion in other guarantees tied to Greece, according to the Bank of International Settlements. The gross exposure of the five most financially pressed European Union countries — Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain — is about $616 billion. And the broader figure on all derivatives from those countries is unknown.
The pervasiveness of these opaque contracts has complicated negotiations for European officials, and it underscores calls for more transparency in the derivatives market.
The uncertainty, financial analysts say, has led European officials to push for a “voluntary” Greek bond financing solution that may sidestep a default, rather than the forced deals of other eras. “There’s not any clarity here because people don’t know,” said Christopher Whalen, editor of The Institutional Risk Analyst. “This is why the Europeans came up with this ridiculous deal, because they don’t know what’s out there. They are afraid of a default. The industry is still refusing to provide the disclosure needed to understand this. They’re holding us hostage. The Street doesn’t want you to see what they’ve written.”
Regulators are aware of this problem. Financial reform packages on both sides of the Atlantic mandated many changes to the derivatives market, and regulators around the globe are drafting new rules for these contracts that are meant to add transparency as well as security. But they are far from finished and could take years to put into effect.
Darrell Duffie, a professor who has studied derivatives at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, said that he was concerned that regulators may not have adequately studied what contagion might occur among swaps holders, in the case of a Greek default.
Regulators, he said, “have access to everything they need to have. Whether they’ve collected all the information and analyzed it is different question. I worry because many of those leaders have said there’s no way we’re going to let Greece default. Does that mean they haven’t had conversations about what happens if Greece defaults? Is their commitment so severe that they haven’t had real discussions about it in the backrooms?”
Regulators aren’t saying much. When asked what data the Federal Reserve had collected on American financial companies and their swaps tied to European debt, Barbara Hagenbaugh, a spokeswoman, referred to a speech made by Mr. Bernanke in May in which he did not mention derivatives tied to Greece. At the Wednesday press conference, Mr. Bernanke said that commonly cited data on derivatives do not take into account the offsetting positions banks have on their Greek exposures. And with those positions, he said, even if there is a Greek default, “the effects are very small.”
At the European Central Bank, Eszter Miltenyi, a spokeswoman, said: “This is much too sensitive I think for us to have a conversation on this.”
On Wall Street, traders are debating whether the industry’s process for unwinding credit-default swaps would run smoothly if Greece defaulted. The process is tightly controlled by a small group of bankers who meet in an industry group called the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.
The process is fairly well developed, but it has been little tested on the debt of countries. For the most part, Wall Street has cashed in on credit-default swaps tied to corporations’ debt.
For most purposes, determining whether a default occurred in a country’s debt falls to ratings agencies like Fitch and Moody’s. But for the derivatives market, a committee of I.S.D.A. makes the call.
If the committee decides there was a default, it passes the baton to Markit, which is partly owned by the banks. Markit holds an auction to determine how much value has been lost on the debt, and that determines how much money is paid out to the parties that purchased the insurance.
Marc Barrachin, who runs the auctions, said there was no reason to worry about the process.
“The process is very smooth, very well understood by market participants,” said Mr. Barrachin, the director of credit products at Markit. “I mean if you go back to 2008 right in the fall, in five days we had auctions for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers, and two weeks after that you had Washington Mutual. I go back to that period of stress and the orderly settlements of large amounts of credit derivatives, for names that were widely followed, were testament of the efficiency of the auction system.”
In the case of A.I.G., there was not an unwind process run by I.S.D.A. because A.I.G.’s contracts were tied to mortgage bonds. Those sorts of derivatives pay out money over time, whereas derivatives tied to a country’s debt pay out on one occasion: if a default occurs. That makes sovereign derivatives more similar to derivatives on corporate bonds and different in some ways from the situation at A.I.G.
But the smoothness of the process would be irrelevant if the risk were concentrated in just a few weak institutions.
The uncertainty around how a sovereign default would course through the derivatives market had greatly increased the price premiums banks were charging to put on new derivatives trades related to European countries. As of last week, the price to insure against default on $10 million of Greek debt was $1.9 million per year, up from $775,000 a year ago, according to Markit.
“There is lack of transparency and visibility in these products, and that increases the risk,” said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, a boutique banking firm in New York.
Najib’s son impresses with Mandarin skills
PETALING JAYA: The Prime Minister’s son Nor Ashman, 20, who speaks Mandarin, took part in his father’s radio interview on One FM Morning Kaki programme.
This is a meaningless matter that people with no true understanding find meaningful.
IT IS NOT A PERSON’S MANDARIN SKILLS BUT WHAT HE USES HIS MANDARIN SKILL TO SAY THAT IS MEANINGFUL AND PRODUCTIVE THAT IS RELEVANT. IF IT IS WHAT HE SAYS WITH MANDARIN THAT IS IMPORTANT, WHY ARE YOU BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE BEING IMPRESSED BY HIS MANDARIN SKILLS? SO HIS MANDARIN SKILLS IS IMPRESSIVE, BUT WHAT IS HE SAYING THAT IS MEANINGFUL USING IT?
THE MOTIVE IS TO PUBLICIZE THE INFORMATION FOR SHOW SO THAT NAJIB AND HIS SON WOULD BE VIEWED FAVOURABLY BY THE CHINESE PUBLIC.
IT IS NEVER A PERSON’S MANDARIN OR SANSKRIT SKILL THAT IS THE MATTER BUT WHAT HE USES THE MANDARIN THAT IS PRODUCTIVE THAT MATTERS.
‘IMPRESSES’ MEANS HE STIRS YOUR MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY WITH HIS MANDARIN SKILLS. WHY SHOULD YOUR MENTAL FORCE BE STIRRED STRESSFULLY AND OF WHAT MEANING IS THAT STIRRING IN RESPONSE TO HIS MANDARIN SKILLS? THIS IS A FOOL SPEAKING.
Derivatives should be banned not regulated:
Reflecting their continued thick unawakening delusion, governments talk about regulating, more transparency in the derivative markets.
THE TRUTH MAY BE DERIVATIVES SHOULD BE BANNED, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE, THERE IS NO PLACE FOR SUCH DANGEROUS SHENANIGANS THAT ATTEMPT TO HIVE OFF RISKS TO UNSUSPECTING OTHERS OR FOOLISH INVESTORS WHO THINK THEY ARE INTO EASY MONEY GUARANTEEING OTHERS’ LOANS.
IN THE SAME WAY, THE OIL AND COMMODITY MARKETS SHOULD BE PURGED OFF ALL SPECULATORS, ALL THOSE WHO ARE BUYING AND SELLING WITHOUT ANY USE FOR THE OIL THEY BUY AND SELL.
YOU THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, HOW COME THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND SUCH SIMPLE THINGS?
Like telling a thief to be more transparent:
Calling for more transparency in the derivative market is like calling on thieves to be more transparent, to tell the world what they are doing.
IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE IT IS DECEPTIVE, CHEATING AND PASSING THE SHIT TO OTHERS THAT THE DERIVATIVE MARKET IS SO OPAQUE AND CALLING FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY IS ASKING THE IMPOSSIBLE, ASKING THIEVES TO COME CLEAN SO THAT THEY CAN BE THROWN INTO JAILS.
Meditation is fast gaining popularity among urbanites
This is a Star news item.
You can forever meditate but as long as the person continues to use force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness he will not gain more than temporary in vain respite from stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate and he is headed for cliff of doom after he dies.
EVEN IF A PERSON DOES NOT MEDITATE, IF OBJECTIVELY HE HAS STOPPED USING FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS HE WILL EXPERIENCE AN EFFORTLESS FREEDOM FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND THAT IS ALWAYS A PLEASANT ABIDING HERE AND EVEN AN ETERNITY OF HEAVENLY BLISS LATER.
THOSE WHO MEDITATE ARE DRIVEN BY STRESS TO DO SO BUT THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHO TAKE HEALTH FOODS, PRACTICE YOGA OR TAI CHI OR EXERCISE AVIDLY BECAUSE THEY ARE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.
IT IS NOT THE LACK OF MEDITATION THAT IS THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING HERE BUT IT IS THE CONSTANT MINDLESS, MAD FOR SHOW USING OF FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS.
MEDITATION MAY BE GAINING POPULARITY BUT TO WHAT EXTENT AND HOW FAST? IF MEDITATION IS RELATIVELY ISOLATED AND NOT GAINING FAST A HE CLAIMS IT IS A FALSE STATEMENT TO HYPE WITHOUT ASCERTAINING THE TRUTH OF WHAT IS STATED WITH DEADLY KARMA TO THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE.
The Buddha:
Little though he recites the sacred texts, but puts the Teaching into practice, forsaking lust, hatred, and delusion, with true wisdom and emancipated mind, clinging to nothing of this or any other world -- he indeed partakes of the blessings of a holy life.
In the same way, little does he meditate but if he stops stretching his syllables, stops changing speed and loudness, he will obtain far greater freedom from suffering than from lifelong dedicated meditation without shedding his evil style.
THERE ARE MANY PROFESSIONAL BUDDHIST MONKS, ZEN OR OTHERWISE WHO SPEND HOURS MEDITATING YET THEY HAVE ACHIEVED NO ENLIGHTENMENT, THEIR SPEECH AND APPEARANCE IS AS DELUDED AS EVER AND SO MEDITATION PER SE IS NOT THE PATH TO ESCAPE FROM SUFFERING.
Effort-full and effortless freedom from stress:
To meditate or strive to drive out risen stress is an ‘efforted’ force based fabricated false attempt to escape suffering that itself generates stress.
What is an effortless freedom from stress?
If you TRULY never use force to stretch your syllables, change speed and loudness you will automatically save a lot of energy, avoid exposing your mind to unnecessary force and that means the mind is automatically effortlessly freed from stress.
IT IS FORCE ACTING ON A MIND THAT CAUSES STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND SO A PERSON WHO DOES NOT WASTE HIS ENERGY STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS AUTOMATICALLY REDUCES HIS MIND’S EXPOSURE TO FORCE AND THAT IS AUTOMATICALLY AND EFFORTLESSLY A FREEDOM FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION.
WHEN YOU EXERCISE, EAT HEALTH FOODS, PRACTICE TAI CHI OR YOGA OR MEDITATE YOU ARE MAKING EFFORT TO COUNTER STRESS ACCORDING TO A PLAN AND SO YOU ARE A ROBOT.
STOP USING FORCE INCESSANTLY TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND FREEDOM FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE IS AUTOMATICALLY, EFFORTLESSLY YOURS.
Even if you meditate obsessively you still have terrible karma:
A person may devoutly meditate but so long as he continues to spew force prolonging syllables, changing speed and loudness, he is guilty of plying others with deadly force, with causing stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate in others and that is deadly karma to be experienced as future suffering that is as vast as an ocean dwarfing into insignificance whatever temporary respite from his meditation.
ANYONE WHO STRETCHES HIS SYLLABLES, CHANGES SPEED AND LOUDNESS HAS DEADLY KARMA THAT LEADS TO SUFFERING AS VAST AS AN OCEAN BECAUSE HE IS GUILTY OF HARMING OTHERS WITH STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION BY PLYING OTHERS WITH FORCE AND SO WHATEVER RESPITE HE GAINS FROM MEDITATION IS INSIGNIFICANT BY COMPARISON.
The goal of meditation is higher mental states:
There is no other goal in meditation except to achieve in progression, succession the four higher states of mind (serenity of mind and body, cessation of thinking, neither liking nor disliking, neither pain nor pleasure).
THUS IF YOU MEDITATE AVIDLY AND HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANY HIGHER STATE OF MIND THEN YOU ARE MEDITATING IN VAIN.
IF IN DAILY LIFE YOU HAVE ATTAINED SERENITY OF MIND AND BODY WITH THINKING YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF MIND THAT IS THE GOAL OF MEDITATION, IF YOU CAN GO ABOUT WITHOUT THINKING WITH A ONE POINTED MIND FOCUSSING ON THE PRESENT, YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE SECOND HIGHER STATE OF THE MIND.
YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE THE FIRST HIGHER STATE OF THE MIND THAT IS THE GOAL OF MEDITATION WITHOUT STOPPING THE MAD USE OF FORCE TO CONSTANTLY STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS.
BECAUSE THOSE WHO MEDITATE REGULARLY CONTINUE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS, THEY HAVE NOT ACHIEVED THE FIRST GOAL OF MEDITATION, SERENITY OF MIND WITH DISCURSIVE THINKING AND SO THEY ARE MEDITATING IN VAIN.
Scrubbing up: Provocative thoughts about health
You need force to provoke and provoking is about using force.
The person with true understanding speaks about useful or relevant thoughts about health and it is an unconscious exposition of a person’s absence of true understanding that he understands thoughts as provocative, it is the stirring of his mental force to be provoked that is important and meaningful to him.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF STIRRING YOUR BLIND WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING MENTAL FORCE TO BE PROVOKED GOT TO DO WITH THOUGHTS OR IDEAS ABOUT HEALTH? THIS IS A SENSELESS STATEMENT THAT ONLY THOSE WITHOUT TRUE UNDERSTANDING ACCEPT AND PERCEIVE AS FULL OF MEANING.
More important they be provoked than understand:
Always, it is more important that emotional stylish people are provoked (to like, dislike, be sad, hurt, confused or fear) what is happening or has happened than that they should truly understand exactly as it actually is, what is happening.
IT IS NEVER THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS HAPPENING OR WHAT IS PRESENTED TO THEM THAT IS IMPORTANT (BECAUSE THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF TRUE UNDERSTANDING, ONLY REHASHED FAKED RECORDED UNDERSTANDINGS) BUT IT IS THE PROVOKING TO LIKE, DISLIKE, SAD, HURT, AGITATED/CONFUSED OR FEARFUL THAT IS THE MATTER OR IMPORTANT. IF YOU THINK THEY UNDERSTAND OR UNDERSTANDING IS PRIMARY OBJECTIVE YOU ARE DELUDED, UNDERSTAND FALSELY HERE AS EVERYWHERE ELSE.
How the treatment of Conrad Black bleeds the heart:
This is an UK newspaper headline and only a delusional man can say that.
By ‘bleeding the heart’ is mean hurt, one of six basic emotions. He has a right to say bleeds HIS heart but he is lapsing into falsity speaking for others, bleeds THE heart because it does not bleed everyone’s heart.
WHAT IS THE POINTING OF BLEEDING YOUR HEART OR FEELING HURT OR STIRRING YOUR BLIND MENTAL FORCE PAINFULLY, NOT THAT HE CAN HELP IT BECAUSE HE IS A SLAVE OF HIS STIRRED HURT THAT CAN OVERWHELM HIM BUT IT IS A MEANINGLESS CONDITIONED PAINFUL STIRRING OF HIS MENTAL FORCE THAT DOES NO USEFUL WORK AND IS CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT ENDS IN UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY FOR THE FOOL WHO SEES NOTHING WRONG IN BEING HURT AND INDULGES HIS HURT.
AS THE BUDDHA SAID, TO THE ONE WHO IS RELEASED, NOTHING IS DEAR OR NOT DEAR AND THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE, SO LONG AS THERE ARE THINGS OR BEINGS DEAR OR NOT DEAR TO YOU, YOU MUST SUFFER AND YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW. ONLY THE PERSON WHO SEES EVERYTHING AS EMPTY, WITHOUT PERMANENCE, WITHOUT EVERLASTING MEANING HAS RIGHT VIEW.
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF HURT BUT WHAT HAS CONRAD BLACK DONE THAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG THAT DESERVES HIS IMPRISONMENT. IF HE HAS DONE A LOT OF WRONG IN HIS CORPORATE AFFAIRS THEN HIS IMPRISONMENT IS JUSTIFIED AND EVEN FAR WORSE PUNISHMENT, HELL AWAITS HIM AND IS NOT A MATTER OF BEING HURT BUT IS HIS TREATMENT RIGHT OR WRONG, WHERE IS THERE HURT IN THE EQUATION?
BEING HURT IS THE INAPPROPRIATE PERCEPTION AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CONRAD BLACK AND SO THE PERSON IS DEMONSTRATING HIS WRONG EMOTIONAL OR FORCE BASED UNDERSTANDING OF AN EVENT, CONRAD BLACK’S IMPRISONMENT.
SAY IT BLEEDS YOUR HEART, DON’T SPEAK FOR OTHERS BY SAYING IT BLEEDS THE HEART.
Injury threatens Rafael Nadal title bid
It reflects universal false understanding here that people see nothing wrong with what is stated with it is deadly wrong.
Injury may prevent or abort Nadal’s bid, not threaten. Only a being can threaten another and injury may prevent or cut short his title bid.
As the Buddha said, there is proper and improper speech, if you truly understood what you said or heard, you should understand injury cannot threaten anyone but it may prevent Nadal’s quest.
It still is a game:
Some say football is just a game. But the television pictures of hundreds of grown men reduced to tears and the scenes of violence and frustration after the game testify that in Argentina, at least to River Plate fans, it's much more than that.
There are many who will agree or see nothing wrong with the reasoning.
EVEN IF MEN ARE REDUCED TO TEARS AND THERE ARE SCENES OF VIOLENCE, FOOTBALL STILL IS A GAME, TO CONCLUDE THAT FOOTBALL IS NOT JUST A GAME BECAUSE STRONG MEN ARE REDUCED TO TEARS IS FALSE LOGIC THAT ENDS IN MAD LOGIC. THIS IS OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE PEOPLE REASON AND UNDERSTAND FALSELY AND THIS IS NEVER HARMLESS BUT ENDANGERS THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WHO MUST INTERACT WITH THEM.
The counsellor will show it to you:
In the King James Bible, Jesus said the counsellor will take from what is his and show it to you.
What is Jesus’ comprises what he said or revealed in the New Testament and also things he did not say.
Thus the counsellor will take from what is Jesus’ that he spoke but no one else has shown it to you plus things unspoken that the counsellor will take from what is Jesus’ (that was unspoken before) and show it to you.
WHAT JESUS SAID IMPLIES THAT WHAT HE SAID OR IS HIS REQUIRES BEING SHOWN TO YOU BY THE COUNSELLOR.
IF OTHERS CAN OR HAVE SHOWN IT TO YOU THEN IT IS FALSE TO SAY THE COUNSELLOR WILL SHOW IT TO YOU.
You must be shown and only the counsellor can show:
What Jesus said that the counsellor will take from what is His and show it to you implies that you cannot know it yourself, you must be shown, no one else can or will show it to you and only the counsellor will show it to you.
Why they killed Jesus:
It was not for a frivolous reason or God planned the show that the priests wanted Jesus dead. Jesus was attracting a lot of followers with his teaching and miracles and the ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’ may be when Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead before a large crowd. Lazarus had died 4 days ago and was buried in a cave and Jesus went to the cave before a crowd and called Lazarus to come out and he came and this demonstrated that he had supernatural powers that the priests were jealous and afraid would usurp their authority with the people and made it imperative that Jesus should be killed.
JESUS PUBLICLY BRINGING LAZARUS BACK FROM THE DEAD 4 DAYS AFTER HE WAS BURIED MAY HAVE STIRRED THE PRIESTS TO ACT BECAUSE JESUS WAS UNDERMINING THEIR AUTHORITY.
Like what they are doing to Anwar:
When goats feel their authority and right to rule is undermined they do what it takes by hook or crook to maintain their power and just as they are doing what it takes to sabotage Anwar, just as goats will fight nail and tooth to retain power in Egypt, Libya and now Syria, even so the priests felt driven to preserve their authority by getting rid of Jesus through trumped up charges.
IT IS TO BE EXPECTED THAT WHENEVER SOMEONE APPEARS WHO THREATENS THE AUTHORITY OF EVIL GOATS THEY WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES BY HOOK OR CROOK TO ELIMINATE THAT RIVAL.
IT IS TO BE EXPECTED (AND BE INEVITABLE) WHEN JESUS APPEARED AND BEGAN HEALING THE SICK AND CRIPPLED AND STARTED TO PREACH IN CONTRADICTION TO THE HIGH PRIESTS, THAT THEY WOULD RETALIATE AND WANT TO DESTROY THEIR NEMESIS.
Power to women
The private sector has five years to ensure that women make up at least 30% of those in decision-making positions. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said this policy had been approved by the Cabinet
Anyone speaking thus is speaking senselessly courting insanity.
The person has no powers to confer power to women so he or she is speaking falsely without power advocating power to women.
BEING A WOMAN IS NOT A CORRECT CRITERIA FOR HAVING POWER, IT IS WHEN A PERSON IS QUALIFIED AND ELECTED OR CHOSEN TO HOLD POWER, AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX, RACE, AGE OR WHATEVER ELSE THAT HE OR SHE THUS HOLDS POWER.
FIRST OF ALL ARE YOU IN A POSITION TO CONFER POWER TO WOMEN? IF YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO CONFER POWER TO WOMEN YOU ARE SPEAKING WITHOUT BACKUP. IF YOU ARE SPEAKING TO FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE OF WOMAN IN TERMS OF WIELDING POWER THEN YOU ARE DELUDED BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THIS WORLD MAY BE BIASED, UNFAIR, THAT A PERSON IS FEMALE IS NOT A IGHT CRITERIA FOR CONFERRING POWER BUT ABILITY & QUALIFICATION THE CRITERIA FOR CONFERRING POWER.
NEVERTHELESS AS THE BUDDHA SAID, THERE ARE CERTAIN POSITIONS FOR WHICH WOMEN ARE EXCLUDED EG THE FATHER OR GOD IS ALWAYS MALE, BUDDHA, HIS DEPUTIES, THE RULER OF GODS, BRAHMAS AND THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS MALE. THIS EXCLUSION MAY NOT BE BASED ON PREJUDICE BUT MERIT OR THERE ARE REASONS.
The purpose is to court the female vote:
It is not because the person understands what he says or knows that it is true that he says, ‘power to women’ but what he said is driven by emotion, driven by motive to pander to women voters as if he is their champion and therefore they should vote for him. Thus everything is self serving, he is serving himself saying so.
YES, ‘POWER TO WOMEN’ BUT NOT WHEN MY JOB IS ON THE LINE OR AFTER I STEP DOWN THEN WOMEN CAN TAKE OVER.
Slogans:
“Power to women” is a slogan and slogans are false sweeping or nonspecific statements intended to impress or stir others’ mental force to be attracted, not directed at a person’s reason or understanding.
SLOGANS ARE DESIGNED TO BE CATCHY (AND YOU NEED TO STIR FORCE TO BE CATCHY), SWEEPING OR NONSPECIFIC, CAN BE APPLIED TO MANY SITUATIONS AND SO IT IS MEMORIZED TO BE REHASHED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THE PERSON IS A ROBOT. THUS MALAYSIANS HAVE LEARNT TO SMILE AND POINT THEIR FINGERS TO SAY “I MALAYSIA” AND THIS TOO IS A SLOGAN AND ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE AND APPLYING ARE ROBOTS DOING AS THEY ARE TOLD.
Microsoft Office put in the cloud
Microsoft is launching a cloud-based version of its Office software suite that makes the programs accessible via the web.
There is no cloud and Microsoft Office is not put in the cloud except in your cultivated false perception that is not harmless but has deadly consequences.
“Microsoft Office” put on the internet or becomes web based is the correct description of what has happened. The internet is not a cloud except in your fabrication that is deadly.
Desire to make much ending in false perception:
The internet is the internet and a cloud is a cloud. The internet is not a cloud so why do people start calling it a cloud?
It is foremost driven by an urge (that is based on force) to make more than there is in the internet, to be different (you call it internet, I call it ‘cloud’) coupled with restlessness that the fool does not realize conditions him to increasingly view the internet as a cloud when the internet is the internet and a cloud is a cloud.
VERY SOON THE FOOL PERCEIVES AND ACCEPTS THAT CLOUD MEANS INTERNET WHEN THERE IS A SPECIFIC DESIGNATION FOR A CLOUD AND IT IS NOT THE INTERNET.
EMOTIONAL STYLISH PEOPLE HAVE AN URGE TO EXAGGERATE, TO MAKE MORE THAN THERE IS IN SOMETHING, THEY WANT TO DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES FROM OTHERS BY COINING NEW ‘CHIC’ OR FASHIONABLE WORDS FOR THE SAME OLD THING AND SO THEY FABRICATE, FALSIFY AND START TO SAY THE INTERNET IS THE CLOUD NOT REALIZING THEY ARE FLIRTING WITH INSANITY AND WILL BE REWARDED WITH INSANITY.
You are guilty of confusing others:
The uninitiated who do not realize by ‘cloud’ you mean internet will be confused, might become embarrassed that they do not know what you mean by cloud and so anxiously try to find out what this ‘cloud’ is all about when it is much ado about nothing, it is just the ‘good old’ internet.
THUS IF YOU MISCHIEVOUSLY CALL THE INTERNET THE CLOUD JUST TO BE DIFFERENT AND IMPRESS, YOU ARE CREATING KARMA FOR YOURSELF TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE SUFFERING FOR CAUSING CONFUSION AND DIFFICULTIES TO OTHERS FOR TOTALLY UNNECESSARY PURPOSES.
RPK does not know what he talks:
RPK: History is an interpretation of events. You can’t change the actual events in history. But you can interpret the events. And everyone would have his/her own interpretation of things. For example, to the British it was ‘The Indian Mutiny’. To the Indians it was a ‘Fight for Independence’. The event never changes. How you perceive it would.
HISTORY IS NEVER AN INTERPRETATION OF EVENTS BUT TRUE HISTORY IS A RECORD OF EVENTS AS IT HAPPENS. WHATEVER IS INTERPRETED IS NO LONGER TRUE HISTORY BUT DOCTORED BIASED HISTORY.
ANYONE WHO SAYS HISTORY IS AN INTERPRETATION OF EVENTS IS SANCTIONING DOCTORING HISTORY, OF INTERPRETING EVENTS AS YOU PLEASE AND THAT IS WRONG AND HAS DEADLY KARMA.
RPK is a proud conceited man who fancies himself as an expert, delving in this and that not realizing his views are seriously false piling up future suffering for himself.
Even if everyone in this world falsifies his history, interpret events to favour themselves, history is in truth a factual record of what has happened, not an interpretation of events and to say so is to mislead others and that has karma to be experienced as suffering not merit.
