War Without End

In 2006 the United Nations concluded the largest ever study of wealth distribution by announcing the world’s richest 1% own 40% of all wealth.

The report found the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total global assets. Half the world’s adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth. (Guardian, 6 December 2006)

There has always been inequality in our societies and for many reasons, some morally arguable but others unquestionably a shameful indictment of humanity. During the time of kings and emperors and throughout the centuries since the rise of usury, more politely termed as “banking” today, great wealth has underpinned great power and so shaped the policy of nations.

But in the modern age of progressive enlightenment, which we claim as the bedrock of our “altruistic” political, economic and social systems, how can it remain acceptable that millions of people, including helpless children, starve to death as millions more watch their suffering on television whilst excusing themselves every reason to reverse their own decline into obesity?

Tamiflu is an amazingly effective drug, in terms of profit generation for the drug companies at least. Whether it’s of any significant use in containing the H1N1 swine flu pandemic is a matter of opinion.

Those who are making a pile of cash are convinced of the health benefits and, in the main, big media is happy to endorse the sales pitch. But Dr Tom Jefferson, of the Cochrane Collaboration in Rome, has a different view.

The Lisbon Treaty, that rehash of the EU Constitution. I don’t know about you but apart from threats of economic meltdown if we don’t sign, here in the UK I haven’t heard a single argument from any politician of any major party explaining the benefits and costs of our ever closer integration with Europe.

As for the economic meltdown, look around you. It’s here anyway, is Europe going to rescue us from the global mess created by the bankers? How, by handing total independence to the bankers? By allowing the banks to operate without the fussy interference of our (allegedly) democratic representatives?

As you know Lisbon 2 is around the corner and we need the Irish people to VOTE NO once more.

Most of the Truth Groups in Ireland have started a coalition called Truth Coalition Ireland to work together to fight for a NO VOTE.

Here is a message and a plea for support. Remember, if Ireland can shoot this Lisbon “Treaty” down with another “NO” vote it will force our Europhile politicians into a position where they will no longer be able to deny the British people a voice.

What is money? Most people I ask tell me it is a measure of wealth and I once thought along the same lines until I started taking a closer look at the history of the pieces of paper and shiny coins that constitute our currency.

Have a watch of the video below. Taken from an American perspective but just as applicable to our economies in Europe, it’s lengthy (sorry, but there’s a lot to cover), and stuffed full of historical references that trace the evolution of money through the centuries and up to the present day. But it’ll keep you engaged and, apart from the narrator’s irritating habit of jabbing his pencil or finger at the viewer all the time, it’s an easy watch.

The “new” H1N1 “swine flu” vaccination will be pushed through trials in as little as five days in the UK! Wow, let’s hope it’s safe and it works then, unlike the last time. Because this isn’t the first mass swine flu vaccination program. Is that news to you? If so it’s not a surprise because the media seems reluctant to talk about the 4,000 Americans that claimed damages amounting to $3.5billion following the last vaccination program.

The year is 1976 and the American government has issued warnings that swine flu could be a global killer. Yes, 1976. Over 46 million Americans are vaccinated. Here’s a little known 60 Minutes report on what happened next.

If you watch the 24/7 news on TV or read the usual newspapers you’ll have no trouble recognising the environment they take for granted they are operating in and we are supposedly living in. It goes like so:

• The United Kingdom is a democracy,
• That has a parliament led by Prime Minister Gordon Brown and an “opposition” led by “Dave” Cameron,
• And the office of the Prime Minister is the highest in the land,
• And the laws made in parliament are a representation of the will of the public as expressed at the ballot box.

Which makes me wonder why the old sayings, “None of them are any good!”, or, “This lot are as bad as the last lot!”, are as popular today as they have ever been.

The War Without End Forum has been upgraded and can be found at http://www.itszone.co.uk/discuss/

The previous forum has been archived and can be found at http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/. It has an improved search to allow you to quickly locate articles going back to May 2002, there’s a lot of information in there, almost 200,000 pages in total.

This is a blog about the ongoing war of terror being waged by multinational corporations against billions of civilians everywhere on the planet, and the corrupted politicians who are their accomplices in murder, pillage, fraud, theft and every other manner of vice conceivable.
