Such a war would be a financial and military disaster for  the&lt;br /&gt;United States, and would be watched with glee by Russian and Chinese  leaders who&lt;br /&gt;— while their countries would lose some trade with Iran during a  war — would&lt;br /&gt;applaud another U.S. self-inflicted wound which further erodes  the already&lt;br /&gt;failing economy that is the base of American  power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, if U.S. political leaders would not permit the U.S.  military to defeat&lt;br /&gt;Afghan and Iraqi mujahedin armed with Korean War-vintage  weapons, they surely&lt;br /&gt;will not allow the military to defeat a much better  armed nation-state like&lt;br /&gt;Iran. Thus we would have yet another politically  imposed defeat for the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Netanyahu is pushing not only  for Obama's acceptance of whatever action Israel&lt;br /&gt;decides to take but for  stronger language against Iran that goes beyond the&lt;br /&gt;all-options-are-on-the  table mantra. But Obama has been working to convince&lt;br /&gt;Netanyahu that a  go-it-alone attack would cause only a temporary setback to&lt;br /&gt;Tehran's nuclear  ambitions while plunging the already-volatile Middle East into&lt;br /&gt;chaos. An  explicit American military threat would be counterproductive right&lt;br /&gt;now,  especially due to the potential for further spikes in global oil  prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats promote the elitist, racist, and war-causing  Wilsonian doctrine of&lt;br /&gt;intervening abroad to impose democracy and Western  culture on foreigners at the&lt;br /&gt;point of bayonets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

However, imposing sanctions and blockades are not only  an act of war&lt;br /&gt;according to international law, they are most often the first  step toward a real&lt;br /&gt;war starting with a bombing campaign. Sanctions were the  first step in our wars&lt;br /&gt;against Iraq and Libya, and now more sanctions planned  against Syria and Iran&lt;br /&gt;are leading down the same destructive path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  noise from Israel over a possible strike is geared more toward pressuring&lt;br /&gt;the  international community for further sanctions than foreshadowing an  imminent&lt;br /&gt;attack on Iran. Netanyahu would prefer to see a Republican take  control of the&lt;br /&gt;White House in 2013 for fear that Obama's re-election would  give him a freer&lt;br /&gt;hand to push anew for Israeli concessions to the  Palestinians during a second&lt;br /&gt;term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than  smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your  people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency,  self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very  much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much  further.

According to the  Nuclear&lt;br /&gt;Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran has every right to develop nuclear  energy for&lt;br /&gt;peaceful purposes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, US foreign policy has  boxed Iran into a corner where they may&lt;br /&gt;view development of a nuclear weapon  as the only way to maintain sovereignty.&lt;br /&gt;They are surrounded by unfriendly  nuclear powers and history has shown that&lt;br /&gt;having a nuclear weapon is the best  way to avoid being bombed or invaded. The&lt;br /&gt;unintended consequences of our  confrontational policies toward Iran may be to&lt;br /&gt;actually encourage them to  seek nuclear weapons capabilities. We should be using&lt;br /&gt;diplomacy rather than  threats and hostility.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-1028470617186496726?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/1028470617186496726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/warriors-and-worriers-lock-horns-over.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/1028470617186496726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/1028470617186496726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/warriors-and-worriers-lock-horns-over.html' title='WARRIORS AND WORRIERS LOCK HORNS OVER IRAN'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BNpmxa3S4K0/T1EmY9JUH1I/AAAAAAAAGJc/32IBeODmMUQ/s72-c/Iran1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-1259756530320030133</id><published>2012-03-02T11:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-02T11:29:51.773-08:00</updated><title type='text'>FARRAKHAN'S ANTISEMITISM AND CONSPIRACY PARANOIA</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_kJsjsvO-7w/T1EfZTDxcgI/AAAAAAAAGJU/ur1iEkuVooo/s1600/A1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_kJsjsvO-7w/T1EfZTDxcgI/AAAAAAAAGJU/ur1iEkuVooo/s320/A1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farrakhan, the antisemitic and racist leader of the Nation of Islam,  delivered&lt;br /&gt;yet another antisemitic diatribe. Farrakhan's annual address to the  Nation of&lt;br /&gt;Islam was dripping with antisemitism and hatred and should stand as  a textbook&lt;br /&gt;example of the continuing potency in some circles of antisemitism  in Occident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but  only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul,  and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

You  have locked onto the Zionist control of your&lt;br /&gt;government, your media, and  you're afraid to stand up because if you do they'll&lt;br /&gt;tell you, you won't be  re-elected."&lt;br /&gt;• "Listen good now, no matter what President Obama has said or  done to show&lt;br /&gt;Israel his commitment, somehow or another he is failing on some  aspect of what&lt;br /&gt;they desire him to do. He has invaded into every country the  neocons have told&lt;br /&gt;him to. He went and got the stimulus plan to bail out Wall  Street. There is&lt;br /&gt;nothing that he has not done for Israel but they are still  not happy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On "Zionists" and Iran&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• "I advise white and black  America, Hispanic and Asian America, why would you&lt;br /&gt;send your children to die  in a war engineered by Zionists who love Israel more&lt;br /&gt;than they love the  United States of America?"&lt;br /&gt;• "Don't send these children to war for the sake  of Israel."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Jews in the Entertainment Industry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Do you know  Jewish people were not the origin of Hollywood, but they took it&lt;br /&gt;over?"&lt;br /&gt;•  "In 100 years, they control movies, television, recording,  publishing,&lt;br /&gt;commerce, radio, they own it all. Magazines. Why do you [Jews]  want it all,&lt;br /&gt;everything?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Zionists and Islam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• "Some of  these Zionists are trying to rewrite the Koran. You didn't hear me!&lt;br /&gt;And they  got some Muslims going along with it!"&lt;br /&gt;• "Did you know that the Koran says  that Jews are the most violent of people? I&lt;br /&gt;didn't write it, but I'm living  to see it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sudan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• "Did you know that Israel provoked the war  in the Sudan? For 20 years or&lt;br /&gt;more, the Sudan was in the civil war and it  started because Israel wanted to&lt;br /&gt;create a war in southern and northern Sudan  to divert Egypt to come to the&lt;br /&gt;defense of the Sudan to take pressure away  from Egypt attacking Israel."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ted Goertzel points out conspiracy is a  meme that is easy to propagate and&lt;br /&gt;difficult to refute. Having long  flourished in politics and religion, they have&lt;br /&gt;also spread into science and  medicine. The central logic of the conspiracy meme&lt;br /&gt;is to question, often on  speculative grounds, everything the establishment says&lt;br /&gt;or does and to demand  immediate, comprehensive, and convincing answers to  all&lt;br /&gt;questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty  words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new  dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

When an&lt;br /&gt;alleged fact  is debunked, the conspiracy meme often just replaces it with&lt;br /&gt;another fact.  When the conspiracy meme is reinforced by a regular diet of&lt;br /&gt;alternative  videos and one-sided literature, it can become a habitual way of&lt;br /&gt;thinking.

While some of Fourth Reich's ollies  (old&lt;br /&gt;leading innovators) in established sectors appear to be doing fine, to  nurture&lt;br /&gt;the yollies (young leading innovators) in young sectors such as  ICT,&lt;br /&gt;bio-technology or medical services, is of particular importance. And  there&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich lags badly behind USA. Olli's ollies and  yollies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the worriers of Olli's ollies and yollies cannot understand  we cannot get&lt;br /&gt;out of the current depression without the abolition of VAT. VAT  is a very good&lt;br /&gt;reason to secede from Fourth Reich(EU) now. Vatstruck  Fourthreichians are&lt;br /&gt;looking for a Moses to liberate them from the yoke of  Brussels. They have to do&lt;br /&gt;it now, before a new imposed treaty between  Eurokleptocrats tie their hands&lt;br /&gt;forever. Californians and Texans want to  secede from USA, but Uncle Sam does not&lt;br /&gt;allow it. The same thing might happen  with Britons and Greeks. Infinite&lt;br /&gt;infinitesimal amendments to treaties might  accumulate over time, leading to huge&lt;br /&gt;changes of original intent, enslaving  all Fourthreichians to Brussels forever! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats  have today stressed that the Europe 2020 strategy is Fourth&lt;br /&gt;Reich's growth  strategy and its comprehensive response to the challenges it is&lt;br /&gt;facing. One  of the targets of Europe 2020, through the Innovation Union flagship&lt;br /&gt;is to  boost innovation, research and development in Fourth  Reich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats declare in particular Fourth Reich needs to  improve its ability&lt;br /&gt;to transform good research into innovative products and  services that meets&lt;br /&gt;market demand. The conclusions of the European Council  stress the need for more&lt;br /&gt;efforts to complete the European Research Area by  2014, as well as a number of&lt;br /&gt;other important advances that are necessary.  This memo sets out progress&lt;br /&gt;achieved on some key areas of Fourth Reich action  on research and innovation, a&lt;br /&gt;vital component of Fourth Reich's future  competitiveness and growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Sirs! Europe in paricular has to abolish  VAT first! VAT, aka kleptocrats'&lt;br /&gt;grab, is a regressive tax; the poor pay  higher percentage of their income.&lt;br /&gt;Revenues from VAT are much lower than  expected, because they are difficult and&lt;br /&gt;costly to administer and collect.  Since any double-digit VAT leads many&lt;br /&gt;consumers to underground economy, most  vatstruck Fourthreichians evade VAT! As a&lt;br /&gt;matter of fact, if you are a real  patriot, you should boycott shops that charge&lt;br /&gt;abominable VAT! VAT is the  cacothanasia of Fourth Reich! Vatdodging is heroism! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalistsforever/post?postID=130tJwslhDQBSp5WfUjeh3PsQIzQ58pbSoVXtbmQ4QD8Dx-sgwwBD25WFy1SR9T2bi4kM0vChO62YLk"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  imposition of a VAT is the precursor to bigger government. It is simply  too&lt;br /&gt;easy for kleptocrats to raise a tax that is hidden from citizens. VAT  is&lt;br /&gt;embedded in the final cost of the goods sold, and is hidden to the  consumer. VAT&lt;br /&gt;is applied at every stage of consumption, from wholesale to  retail. It is passed&lt;br /&gt;along until it literally becomes as much an inherent and  cloaked component in&lt;br /&gt;the price as transportation or raw materials. As a  result, countries that have&lt;br /&gt;adopted VAT have been sorely tempted to raise the  rate over time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats note the Innovation Union is one of the  seven flagship&lt;br /&gt;initiatives of the Europe 2020 strategy for a smart,  sustainable and inclusive&lt;br /&gt;economy. Launched by the European Commission in  October 2010, it aims to improve&lt;br /&gt;conditions and access to finance for  research and innovation in Fourth Reich, to&lt;br /&gt;ensure that innovative ideas can  be turned into products and services that&lt;br /&gt;create growth and jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When  VATs started out in Europe in the 1960s, they were small, usually less  than&lt;br /&gt;5%. Today, the average VAT rate in Europe is 20%. If your country wants  to join&lt;br /&gt;the European Union, you have to have a minimum VAT rate of 15% so  that people&lt;br /&gt;won't take retail shopping vacations in your cities. Norway,  Denmark, and Sweden&lt;br /&gt;win the dubious award of having the world's highest VAT  rate at 25%. This floor&lt;br /&gt;and ceiling of VAT prices is a clear violation of  antitrust laws, price fixing,&lt;br /&gt;pure and simple!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats boast  good progress has been made in launching and implementing&lt;br /&gt;30 out of the 34  Innovation Union commitments. Notably, by the end of 2011,&lt;br /&gt;based on wide  stakeholder consultations, the Commission has put forward all six&lt;br /&gt;legislative  proposals announced in the Innovation Union (Horizon 2020, new&lt;br /&gt;Cohesion  policy, reform of public procurement legislation, a new regime for&lt;br /&gt;venture  capital, standardisation package and legislative proposals for unitary&lt;br /&gt;patent  protection). These proposals will bring a step change in framework&lt;br /&gt;conditions  for innovation in Fourth Reich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the additional tax revenue from a VAT  has not resulted in deficit reduction.&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichian nations first began  imposing VATs about 40 years ago, and the&lt;br /&gt;result has been bigger government,  permanent deficits and more debt. Public debt&lt;br /&gt;is equal to 80% of GDP in  fourth Reich, compared to 64 percent of GDP in the&lt;br /&gt;United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  most important comparison is not debt, but rather the burden of  government&lt;br /&gt;spending. If you go back to the mid-1960s, before the imposition  of VATs,&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichian nations had relatively modest-sized government, only  slightly&lt;br /&gt;larger than in the United States. Adopting a VAT, however, gave  politicians a&lt;br /&gt;giant new source of tax revenue. And just like you don't cure  an alcoholic by&lt;br /&gt;giving him keys to a liquor store, you don't promote fiscal  responsibility by&lt;br /&gt;giving government a new source of revenue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

This stifles growth by diverting a huge share of output from  the&lt;br /&gt;productive sector of the economy, which helps explain why living  standards are&lt;br /&gt;30% below American levels. Not that Americans should get cocky.  Thanks to&lt;br /&gt;reckless fiscal policy by Presidents Bush and Obama, the burden of  government&lt;br /&gt;spending has now climbed above 40 percent of GDP in the United  States.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-6241744285204416268?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/6241744285204416268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/abolition-of-vat-is-more-important-than.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/6241744285204416268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/6241744285204416268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/abolition-of-vat-is-more-important-than.html' title='ABOLITION OF VAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OLLI&apos;S OLLIES AND YOLLIES'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ps21jcDYfyM/T1EKs-LL19I/AAAAAAAAGJM/nsXKQwmiTkI/s72-c/depression7.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-3430343155393352115</id><published>2012-03-02T09:15:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-02T09:17:15.449-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BENEVOLENCE OF INSIDER TRADING</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_KVSr5YdxuM/T1D_zkhYhcI/AAAAAAAAGJE/1rHgK7krfus/s1600/insider+trading2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_KVSr5YdxuM/T1D_zkhYhcI/AAAAAAAAGJE/1rHgK7krfus/s1600/insider+trading2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only sure way of making money is through insider trading. That's why  all&lt;br /&gt;traders are insider traders, real or imagined. The trick of the game is  to&lt;br /&gt;differentiate a good tip from a malevolent rumor and from a stupid rumor.  &lt;br /&gt;That's where experience comes in. I have been trading the markets for  forty&lt;br /&gt;years, and I can smell the bullshit instantly. Insider trading is very  healthy,&lt;br /&gt;because it helps the markets reach the equilibrium point soon. All  insider&lt;br /&gt;trading legislation is stupid. You just cannot put all people in  jail! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.

Normal&lt;br /&gt;individuals cannot get in on IPOs at the asking price, but kleptocrats  do so&lt;br /&gt;routinely. Kleptocrats also get many hot issues, bypassing all fair  procedures&lt;br /&gt;of distribution. By funneling hundreds of millions of dollars or  euros to&lt;br /&gt;supporters, even more campaign donations are ensured. An entire  class of&lt;br /&gt;investors now makes all of its profits based on influence and access  to&lt;br /&gt;kleptocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MEPs do not understand that the objective of insider  trading laws is&lt;br /&gt;counter-intuitive, to prevent people from using and markets  from adjusting to&lt;br /&gt;the most accurate and timely information. The rules target  non-public&lt;br /&gt;information, a legal, not economic concept. As a result, we are  supposed to make&lt;br /&gt;today's trades based on yesterday's information.  Unfortunately, keeping people&lt;br /&gt;ignorant is economic folly. We make more bad  decisions, and markets take longer&lt;br /&gt;to adjust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats have  transformed politics to trade. They are traders who use their&lt;br /&gt;power, access,  and privileged information to generate wealth. And at the same&lt;br /&gt;time  well-connected financiers and corporate leaders have made a business  of&lt;br /&gt;politics. They come together to form a kleptocratic caste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insider  trading laws imbalance markets by regulating only one-half of the&lt;br /&gt;trading  equation. A good investor makes money by knowing when not to buy or sell&lt;br /&gt;as  well as when to buy or sell. Many insider tips alert owners to hold  their&lt;br /&gt;shares or not to buy other ones. The sooner people act on accurate  information&lt;br /&gt;the sooner the market will reach the equilibrium price.  Interfering with the&lt;br /&gt;adjustment process by prosecuting people for insider  trading will take the&lt;br /&gt;market longer to adjust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocracy has clearly  figured out how to extract wealth from the rest of us&lt;br /&gt;based solely on their  position and proximity to power. If you have a seat at the&lt;br /&gt;table, you are in  for a feast. If you don't have a seat at the table, you are on&lt;br /&gt;the menu.  Throw them all out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs!

Despite&lt;br /&gt;Obama's apology, the desecration of the Korans at Bagram air base  ignited a wave&lt;br /&gt;of antioccidental fury across Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meme is a  cultural invention that passes from one mind to another and thrives,&lt;br /&gt;or  declines, like a gene. Memetics explores the concepts and transmission  of&lt;br /&gt;memes in a similar fashion to genetics. A meme's success is due to  its&lt;br /&gt;contribution to the effectiveness of its host. Memeplex, like the genetic  code,&lt;br /&gt;is a set of ideas that reinforce each other. Religion is a  memeplex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religions, scams, and hoaxes succeed because they exploit  powerful psychological&lt;br /&gt;processes. These processes are the very ones that have  enabled humans to survive&lt;br /&gt;and create art and technology, but also trasform  Homo Sapiens into Homo Suckers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully  explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball  contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bounceoff/post?postID=wMxWzKqnMJUN7by93vdS7REEXmBLFUiqb0jrMzp42R1nVIqeJXV1S4s_BwytzFGvSI5cfilYiGib"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Koran burnings have hurt a U.S. campaign to win the hearts and minds  of&lt;br /&gt;Afghans. The killing of two U.S. officers by a police intelligence officer  in&lt;br /&gt;the heart of the heavily guarded Interior Ministry raises many  concerns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because religions claim divine favor for themselves, over and  against other&lt;br /&gt;groups, this sense of righteousness leads to violence because  conflicting claims&lt;br /&gt;to superiority, based on unverifiable appeals to God,  cannot be adjudicated&lt;br /&gt;objectively. Religions do tremendous harm to society by  using violence to&lt;br /&gt;promote their goals, in ways that are endorsed and  exploited by their leaders.&lt;br /&gt;Abrahamic Religions are inherently violent  because of an exclusivism that&lt;br /&gt;inevitably fosters violence against those that  are considered outsiders.&lt;br /&gt;Abrahamic legacy is actually genocidal in  nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The senior clerics said the Koran burnings took place at Bagram  because the&lt;br /&gt;administration of the prison at the facility, where the holy  books had been&lt;br /&gt;located, did not treat religious material with  respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blasphemy is publishing or uttering matter that is grossly  abusive or insulting&lt;br /&gt;in relation to matters held sacred by any religion,  intentionally causing&lt;br /&gt;outrage among a substantial number of adherents of that  religion. It's scary to&lt;br /&gt;think that a progressive state would drag out  antiquated laws to suppress&lt;br /&gt;freedom of speech. Sometimes you have to shake  your head and wonder how in this&lt;br /&gt;day and age a law that supports prosecuting  detractors of a two millennia old&lt;br /&gt;fairy tale is allowed to be on the  books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blasphemy violates no one's rights. To cave in to intimidation and  not publish&lt;br /&gt;anything religuous freaks feel is offensive is to surrender the  crucial&lt;br /&gt;principle of free speech. This clash is about respecting man's right  to express&lt;br /&gt;his views, however unpopular, in the face of religious attempts to  subordinate&lt;br /&gt;that right to mystical dogmas. Instead of appeasing the mobs who  call for&lt;br /&gt;executing anyone offending their faith, the West must support those  who share&lt;br /&gt;its political ideal of free speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blasphemy laws are silly  and dangerous. It is silly because medieval religious&lt;br /&gt;laws have no place in a  modern secular republic, where the criminal law should&lt;br /&gt;protect people and not  ideas. And it is dangerous because it incentivises&lt;br /&gt;religious outrage, and  because Islamic States are already using the wording of&lt;br /&gt;blasphemy laws to  promote new blasphemy laws at UN level. Blasphemy laws are&lt;br /&gt;unjust, because  they silence people in order to protect ideas. In a civilised&lt;br /&gt;society, people  have a right to express and to hear ideas about religion even if&lt;br /&gt;other people  find those ideas to be outrageous. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs!

They demand a special&lt;br /&gt;position,  insisting on special consideration of their religulous feelings. But&lt;br /&gt;this is  incompatible with freedom of speech, where one must be ready to put up&lt;br /&gt;with  insults, mockery, and ridicule.

Having long flourished in politics and religion,  they have&lt;br /&gt;also spread into science and medicine. The central logic of the  conspiracy meme&lt;br /&gt;is to question, often on speculative grounds, everything the  establishment says&lt;br /&gt;or does and to demand immediate, comprehensive, and  convincing answers to all&lt;br /&gt;questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unconvincing answers are taken as  proof of conspiratorial deception. When an&lt;br /&gt;alleged fact is debunked, the  conspiracy meme often just replaces it with&lt;br /&gt;another fact. When the conspiracy  meme is reinforced by a regular diet of&lt;br /&gt;alternative videos and one-sided  literature, it can become a habitual way of&lt;br /&gt;thinking. People who believe in  one conspiracy are more likely to believe in&lt;br /&gt;others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  October of 2010, an unknown American, member of Crystal Clear Forum,  an&lt;br /&gt;American Yahoo Group, used as pseudonym the name of Mariliza  Xenogiannakopoulou,&lt;br /&gt;Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, to post  a single message about&lt;br /&gt;Turkey. The unknown American did not violate any law  because, according to the&lt;br /&gt;Supreme Court of USA, anybody can use any pseudonym  or pen name. For example,&lt;br /&gt;thousands of people use Obama's name as a  pseudonym. It's considered an honor,&lt;br /&gt;not a forgery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only  spoofing is forgery. The unknown American would have used spoofing if  she&lt;br /&gt;used Xenogiannakopoulou's email which is &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blowback/post?postID=5M53DwL_Lgd7aVSq6jy_x2AVA07Jb9amJ6JivqN8NXB8K4EVE92ovsVBUf9gO8pkXoI4ePhHHjXKQjE"&gt;marilxen@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Instead she used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blowback/post?postID=wvABfA3REgdVNR6zG_CyDJSrmI6mLYHJ71JynZdNuo92tDRR6qE_Zh_rYmF0oXQ816J58yLUClZLoZB2re0tDEIawwQWVCz7aIh56-U"&gt;mariliza.xenogiannakopoulou@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;  which is not Xenogiannakopoulou's email.&lt;br /&gt;The unknown American posted on &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum"&gt;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with  her pseudonym using a kind of literature called Lyric Essay, which  uses&lt;br /&gt;emotion and color to enlighten a message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some malevolent  characters misinformed Xenogiannakopoulou that the culprit was&lt;br /&gt;I, Basil  Venitis, just because my name was mentioned in the post! As a result&lt;br /&gt;of this  misinformation, on October 18, 2010, a gang of six brutal cybercops of&lt;br /&gt;the  violent Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) broke into my home in Athens and into&lt;br /&gt;my  college office, and stole my computers, software, files, documents,  and&lt;br /&gt;personal data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cybercops locked me in jail for a night, they  humiliated me with handcuffs,&lt;br /&gt;fingerprints, mug shots, and lies, leaked false  information to the media&lt;br /&gt;parrots, and the Greek government initiated sham  court proceedings for a stack&lt;br /&gt;of charges, including forgery and treason!  There was neither pillow nor toilet&lt;br /&gt;facility in my jail cell. I had to  urinate in a bottle! I, a 65 year old with&lt;br /&gt;heart problems, was not allowed to  keep my hypertension pills with me. There&lt;br /&gt;was neither toilet paper nor soap  in the whole CCU jail facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's not the end of the story. My  nerves are broken by no accuser showing&lt;br /&gt;up during my court trial! The judge  always has to postpone the trial for&lt;br /&gt;another day and so it goes ad infinitum.  Meanwhile, I always have to show up&lt;br /&gt;and waste the whole day waiting as there  is no definite timing for the hearing,&lt;br /&gt;but only a day. I and my lawyer have  to be in the courtroom the whole day until&lt;br /&gt;the judge calls my name. Then the  judge calls the name of the accuser, nobody&lt;br /&gt;replies, and the judge postpones  the trial for another day. This has happened&lt;br /&gt;five times so far! This is a  real Greek tragedy! Justice delayed is no&lt;br /&gt;justice, justice perpetuated is  hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAILBIRD FOR A NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;By Basil Venitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blowback/post?postID=1aGCCdh-YiEK_f8fu4Sm0haFMnd8SgJtJ_7gm4QfvYv9OxGzbiZOslCeyUjEcrVIDMrgkuYTeYE"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big  brother checks the internet&lt;br /&gt;For things you criticize&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mouth on  the net&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mind on the sky.&lt;br /&gt;Cops busted my home&lt;br /&gt;And stole my  computer&lt;br /&gt;Hard disk on their comb&lt;br /&gt;blogger on their mooter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They  threw me in jail&lt;br /&gt;For speaking my mind&lt;br /&gt;My words are out of  jail&lt;br /&gt;Revolting in a kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This jail is awful&lt;br /&gt;Without pillow  alone&lt;br /&gt;Urinating in a bottle&lt;br /&gt;And the girl next cell begins to  moan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screaming in the dark of jail&lt;br /&gt;Guards pretending they are  deaf&lt;br /&gt;She is a girl, she is frail&lt;br /&gt;She is missing her Jeff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can  smile at the old days,&lt;br /&gt;I was a handsome professor then.&lt;br /&gt;Those were real  happy days&lt;br /&gt;Happy memory lives again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesmiserables in  jail&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats out of jail&lt;br /&gt;This is hell on Earth&lt;br /&gt;It's shame and  pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time for a real revolt&lt;br /&gt;To bring a real change&lt;br /&gt;To bring the  looting to a halt&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats should not escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats must be  laughing&lt;br /&gt;Premier must be happy,&lt;br /&gt;This is stupid and  disgusting,&lt;br /&gt;Government has a party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmglads sleeping before  dawn&lt;br /&gt;Silence cut with a cry&lt;br /&gt;Jailbird could be reborn&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to a  happy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My memory leads me&lt;br /&gt;Finding strength within&lt;br /&gt;People  really love me&lt;br /&gt;A new life should begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for the  sunrise&lt;br /&gt;Thinking of a new life&lt;br /&gt;I mustn't give in&lt;br /&gt;A new day will  begin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-2591107244985050930?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/2591107244985050930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/infinite-stupidity-and-barbarity-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2591107244985050930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2591107244985050930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/infinite-stupidity-and-barbarity-of.html' title='THE INFINITE STUPIDITY AND BARBARITY OF THE GREEK GOVERNMENT'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-99GxvPeZP8c/T1DrrJJs9QI/AAAAAAAAGI0/brfuV2tvzSs/s72-c/Anonymous1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-4907958083867820036</id><published>2012-03-02T07:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-02T07:19:40.455-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CENTRALITY OF THE CONSTITUTION TO OUR PUBLIC DISCOURSE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5hVtLJMbkJA/T1DktWHDByI/AAAAAAAAGIs/MMG4T4JB7-s/s1600/constitution.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="211" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5hVtLJMbkJA/T1DktWHDByI/AAAAAAAAGIs/MMG4T4JB7-s/s320/constitution.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ilya Shapiro points out that one of the biggest political changes, in large  part&lt;br /&gt;due to the tea parties, is the centrality of the Constitution to our  public&lt;br /&gt;discourse. Lawmakers and citizens no longer consider simply whether a  given bill&lt;br /&gt;or policy proposal is a good idea but whether it is  constitutional. "Where does&lt;br /&gt;the government get the power to do that?" is  often critics' rallying cry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's  a healthy development. For far too long, even in those rare moments  when&lt;br /&gt;politicians were faced with constitutional concerns, they've had the  attitude&lt;br /&gt;Nancy Pelosi did when asked about the authority for Obamacare's  individual&lt;br /&gt;mandate: "Are you serious?" Because, of course, constitutional  arguments are the&lt;br /&gt;last refuge of the scoundrel who has no good policy  arguments to make or&lt;br /&gt;political power to levy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it's a good thing  that citizens are taking their founding document&lt;br /&gt;seriously. After all, the  Constitution is the font of all government power. Its&lt;br /&gt;carefully crafted  structural provisions that we learned about in grade school,&lt;br /&gt;such as the  separation of powers and checks and balances, are not merely an&lt;br /&gt;application  of political theory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats do not respect Lisbon Treaty, the  constitution of Fourth Reich. &lt;br /&gt;Greece, the most corrupt country in Occident,  has become a kangaroo valley,&lt;br /&gt;violating basic human rights and Article 2 of  the Lisbon Treaty, but nobody&lt;br /&gt;gives a damn. I cannot understand why the  European Commission tolerates&lt;br /&gt;political persecution and freakish Kangaroo  Justice within the borders of the&lt;br /&gt;European Union and cannot refer the Greek  government to the Court of Justice of&lt;br /&gt;the European Union. I cannot understand  why the European Commission cannot&lt;br /&gt;protect Greeks from appalling violations  of Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty by&lt;br /&gt;the Greek government. If the European  Union cannot protect Greeks from the&lt;br /&gt;repressive Greek government, who will?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/athenians/post?postID=86qebvWqMoqPeN7swptOWU0Mx9Vp0AktLY7GLvvdN-wKhMh30D0QyT9I1FDXIQHb6koo9aHXWXw"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anthony  Kennedy points out federalism is more than an exercise in setting  the&lt;br /&gt;boundary between different institutions of government for their own  integrity.&lt;br /&gt;By denying any one government complete jurisdiction over all the  concerns of&lt;br /&gt;public life, federalism protects the liberty of the individual  from arbitrary&lt;br /&gt;power. If the federal government acts outside the scope of its  delegated and&lt;br /&gt;carefully enumerated powers, then it's no better than an armed  mob.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats use the Lisbon Treaty as toilet paper! The  freakish&lt;br /&gt;government of Greece uses charge stacking to persecute dissident  bloggers.&lt;br /&gt;Charge stacking is the ability to charge a large number of  overlapping crimes&lt;br /&gt;for a single course of conduct. Combining crimes enables  prosecutors to get&lt;br /&gt;convictions in cases where there is no misconduct at all.  By stacking enough&lt;br /&gt;charges, including treason, Greek prosecutors jack up the  threat value of a&lt;br /&gt;trial against a dissident blogger, even if the government's  case is very weak. &lt;br /&gt;Charge stacking is terror. The disgusting government of  Greece cannot terrorize&lt;br /&gt;the Greek people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shapiro asserts the Obama  administration and its allies in Congress have&lt;br /&gt;perpetrated more than their  share of such mob-like actions. Prevalent is the&lt;br /&gt;individual mandate, the  requirement that every American purchase health&lt;br /&gt;insurance, on penalty of  civil fine. The individual mandate is unprecedented and&lt;br /&gt;exceeds Congress's  power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to&lt;br /&gt;stand, Congress  will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of&lt;br /&gt;any kind of  national regulatory scheme. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has a&lt;br /&gt;chance to  strike this down during its current term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Persecuting dissident bloggers,  the outlaw government of Greece violates Article&lt;br /&gt;2 of the Lisbon Treaty,  which states the European Union is founded on the values&lt;br /&gt;of respect for human  dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and&lt;br /&gt;respect for human  rights. These values are common to the Member States in a&lt;br /&gt;society in which  pluralism, nondiscrimination, tolerance, and justice prevail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece, the  bully of blogosphere, has crossed the Rubicon against civility,&lt;br /&gt;terrorizing  and robbing dissident bloggers. Greece also violates Article 10 of&lt;br /&gt;the  European Convention on Human Rights, which states that everyone has the&lt;br /&gt;right  to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold&lt;br /&gt;opinions  and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference  by&lt;br /&gt;public authority and regardless of frontiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more  effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can  transform your people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate,  efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I  would like very much to speak at your conference in order to explain  critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

In accordance with the Constitution,  the head of&lt;br /&gt;state will be elected on the basis of universal, equal, and  direct suffrage.&lt;br /&gt;Every adult citizen has the right and opportunity to vote  for the candidate he&lt;br /&gt;wants to see as president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to Putinland,  where the president and premier swap jobs at will,&lt;br /&gt;where the constitution is  an empty shell and all power rests with Vladimir&lt;br /&gt;Putin. The deal between  Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev is a farce that will&lt;br /&gt;eventually transform  Putinland to Putanaland! The proud Russian nation is now a&lt;br /&gt;czardom. Russian  democracy is gone with the wind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medvedev  notes Putinlandians all want change for the better: in Putinlandian&lt;br /&gt;cities,  towns and rural communities, Putinlandians strive for Putinland to  be&lt;br /&gt;democratic and prosperous, and for people to live in dignity and  security.&lt;br /&gt;Putinlandians all need order and stability, respect for and strict  observance of&lt;br /&gt;human rights and freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The intransigence of Vladimir  Putin, who is showing no sign of ceding to&lt;br /&gt;protesters' demands for free and  fair elections, might be just the impetus&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's civil society needs to  spur it into existence. The organizers of&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's protests have gone to  great lengths to avoid violence.&lt;br /&gt;Anticorruption bloggers appeal to  Putinland's liberal intelligentsia and might&lt;br /&gt;be able to channel rising  nationalism in a constructive direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be  fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to  eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and  awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to  speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/speakoutforum/post?postID=cqHNdG1iAr5xvq2LIcRRHTS2MncY0ZpcY9QBygbiyvmqLZYd5KiRypeIVVwWYXuEMBBVZFgPf8TpltQ"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medvedev  declares the current election campaign was held in a climate of high&lt;br /&gt;civic  activity. It showed that Putinlandian society has become more mature and&lt;br /&gt;that  it clearly articulates its demands toward the government. This  means&lt;br /&gt;Putinlandians understand that their future depends on the upcoming  elections.&lt;br /&gt;They are prepared to shoulder their responsibility for our  country. And the&lt;br /&gt;results of the political reform that Medvedev proposed in  his Address to the&lt;br /&gt;Federal Assembly will allow Putinlandians to participate  more actively in&lt;br /&gt;governing Putinland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The electoral game Putin is  playing is castling in chess – a saint and a czar&lt;br /&gt;swapping places, in order  to shore up the defense. There might be defense at the&lt;br /&gt;heart of the strategy,  but Putin's ruling party, United Putinland, is still the&lt;br /&gt;only game in Moscow.  Vladimir Putin is the most powerful man in the world. His&lt;br /&gt;success is all the  more venerable when one considers that Putin is leader of a&lt;br /&gt;country of nearly  150 million people — and at the helm of the one of the world's&lt;br /&gt;most important  economies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medvedev says the President of Putinland is the head of state.  The Constitution&lt;br /&gt;endows him with very broad powers. This is a strenuous and  extremely demanding&lt;br /&gt;job. And the future President must be capable of  performing it effectively: he&lt;br /&gt;must continue with economic modernisation, do  everything to ensure the&lt;br /&gt;prosperity and general well-being of Putinlandians,  ensure Putinland's defence&lt;br /&gt;capability and security, and strengthen  Putinland's prestige around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current double-headed eagle of  President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister&lt;br /&gt;Vladimir Putin has become  increasingly authoritarian. Despite numerous&lt;br /&gt;commitments under international  law, the government has tightened controls on&lt;br /&gt;political life, civil society,  and the media. Disruption of political&lt;br /&gt;opposition's activities, restricting  access to state-controlled TV, human right&lt;br /&gt;violations, such as the beating of  demonstrators who support the Russian&lt;br /&gt;constitution, murder of journalists and  anti-corruption activists, disappearance&lt;br /&gt;and torture, abuse of the legal  system for monetary and political gain, all&lt;br /&gt;illustrate this negative trend.  Putin, a former penniless KGB agent, is now&lt;br /&gt;billionaire, thanks to  kickbacks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words  of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension  of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Medvedev had the opportunity to see this for himself many&lt;br /&gt;times. Only  Putinlandians, the voters, can decide which candidate deserves their&lt;br /&gt;ballot.  Medvedev is certain that Putinlandians' choice will be the right one.  On&lt;br /&gt;March 4, together, Putinlandians must determine the course their nation  will&lt;br /&gt;follow for the next several years. Their future depends on each one of  them.&lt;br /&gt;Medvedev urges all Putinlandians to come to the polls and cast their  vote.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-5375111953060501476?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/5375111953060501476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/putinland-decides-this-sunday.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5375111953060501476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5375111953060501476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/putinland-decides-this-sunday.html' title='PUTINLAND DECIDES THIS SUNDAY'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SEo1fc61tfw/T1Cw0Y9tSWI/AAAAAAAAGIk/grmB_uMgYFI/s72-c/Putinland1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-1447059303762484722</id><published>2012-03-02T02:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-02T02:45:21.244-08:00</updated><title type='text'>FOURTH REICH KOWTOWS TO TURKEY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tlDthfM8sEI/T1CkZtlqd6I/AAAAAAAAGIc/zn3zYpZ1IM0/s1600/A3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tlDthfM8sEI/T1CkZtlqd6I/AAAAAAAAGIc/zn3zYpZ1IM0/s320/A3.jpg" width="291" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich and Turkey will gain from closer ties, given their  mutual&lt;br /&gt;dependence, Turkey's economic potential and its role as a strategic  player in&lt;br /&gt;the region, says the foreign affairs committee in a resolution  adopted by a&lt;br /&gt;large majority on Thursday. However, it calls on Turkey to  settle the Cyprus,&lt;br /&gt;Armenia and Kurdish issues and for progress with judicial  reform and the&lt;br /&gt;protection of civil liberties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erdogan hoodwinks that  Turkey is eager to be enslaved to Fourth Reich, for&lt;br /&gt;political and strategic  reasons. But Turkey already has a free trade agreement&lt;br /&gt;with Fourth Reich that  allows it to manufacture for tarif-free sale throughout&lt;br /&gt;the Fourth Reich  market. Turkey has a remarkable 8% growth, while Fourth Reich&lt;br /&gt;is in  depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MEPs support the fresh, new dynamic approach adopted by the  Commission and aimed&lt;br /&gt;at moving Turkey closer to meeting the conditions for  Fourth Reich accession.&lt;br /&gt;They point out that Turkey's economy has tripled in  size in the past ten years&lt;br /&gt;and is one of the fastest growing in the world.  They also underline its role as&lt;br /&gt;a major Fourth Reich energy corridor for  Caucasian and Caspian oil and gas and&lt;br /&gt;its proximity to Iraq's developing  crude oil and natural gas markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am interested in Turkey`s  enslavement to Fourth Reich for libertarian reasons.&lt;br /&gt;I believe Turkey could  change the current balance of forces in Fourth Reich,&lt;br /&gt;stop the cancer of  socialism, stop the ever ending integration, and abolish the&lt;br /&gt;religious  monopoly. I am not not in favor of unification,  centralization,&lt;br /&gt;homogenization, and standardization of Fourth Reich. I am not  in favor of a&lt;br /&gt;close federation. I would prefer to live in a loosely  integrated confederation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in  a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact,  baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I  look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your  conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/purecapitalism/post?postID=-JghjY_ERn93aESgaBWk8NuvHj5io-GlaIMMKmJH1PMVB_Rtf0c-uSQ8Id4yqXjHIqoboSSIMw"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  resolution, drawn up by Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP, NL) highlights the&lt;br /&gt;advantages  for Fourth Reich of working more closely with Turkey on foreign  and&lt;br /&gt;neighbourhood policy priorities such as the Middle-East,  Afghanistan/Pakistan,&lt;br /&gt;the Horn of Africa, the Western Balkans and the  Southern Caucasus. It praises&lt;br /&gt;Turkey's firm stance on Syria and points to  Turkey as a source of inspiration&lt;br /&gt;for democratising Arab States. Its role as  a facilitator of dialogue with Iran&lt;br /&gt;on its nuclear programme is also  underlined in the text.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Balkan and Middle-East countries kowtow to  Turkey. Even Greece offered my&lt;br /&gt;head on plate to Erdogan, because Mariliza  Xenogiannakopoulou, Alternate&lt;br /&gt;Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece,  wrongfully thought it could make him&lt;br /&gt;happy! Needless to say, Erdogan was  offended by this stupid gesture. &lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, it has destroyed my life. My  live was stolen. Now I demand my&lt;br /&gt;life back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The committee insists that  Turkey's relations with neighbouring Fourth Reich&lt;br /&gt;member countries are a key  factor in revamping negotiations and dialogue. It&lt;br /&gt;strongly supports the  ongoing negotiations on Cyprus reunification and asks&lt;br /&gt;Turkey to begin  withdrawing its forces from Cyprus and comply with the relevant&lt;br /&gt;UN Security  Council resolutions. It regrets Turkey's statements that it will&lt;br /&gt;freeze  relations with the Cyprus Presidency of Fourth Reich if the Cyprus issue&lt;br /&gt;is  not resolved by the second half of 2012. It also urges Turkey and Armenia  to&lt;br /&gt;normalise their relations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkey's Article 301 outlaws insulting  Turkishness. The law is used against&lt;br /&gt;Kurds and Armenians, because in the  Kemalist vision that shaped the country,&lt;br /&gt;there are no Kurds or Armenians.  There are only Turks, united in a single vision&lt;br /&gt;and a single story. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  impulse is unexceptional, particularly in 20th century nationalism. As&lt;br /&gt;empire  disintegrated, projecting a single vision became important. In this  way,&lt;br /&gt;Turkish denial of the Armenian genocide, the Greek genocide, and the  Cypriot&lt;br /&gt;genocide may be different from Holocaust denial, driven by fierce  nationalism&lt;br /&gt;alone, rather than the combination of nationalism, classic and  modern&lt;br /&gt;anti-Semitism and paranoid conspiracism which drove the  Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But both are driven by distrust of the other, and by seeing  diversity and&lt;br /&gt;cosmopolitanism as stumbling blocks on the path to perfection.  But while the&lt;br /&gt;two may differ, there is no difference in the free speech  argument on laws&lt;br /&gt;covering them. Proscribing speech, whether it confirms or  denies historical&lt;br /&gt;truths, is an offence to history, a barrier to dialogue and  an insult to memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretrial detention in Turkey is being used as a  punishment without trial. Turkey&lt;br /&gt;abuses civil liberties under the pretense of  shutting down terrorist&lt;br /&gt;organizations. Turkey's terrorism laws aren't being  used against terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;They're used against innocent military officers,  journalists, academics, defense&lt;br /&gt;lawyers, and ethnic Kurds accused in  imaginary pseudoterrorist conspiracies. All&lt;br /&gt;charges are attacks on free  speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These freakish abuses are compounded by the routine manner in  which disgusting&lt;br /&gt;Turkish judges agree to deny defendants bail. Many of the  accused innocents have&lt;br /&gt;been in jail for years, some for a decade, as they  await trial. This amounts to&lt;br /&gt;routine summary punishment of the presumed  innocent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words  of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension  of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

We also expect the heroic Irish to vote No on  the&lt;br /&gt;stupid fiscal compact. Twenty-five European leaders today signed the  Treaty on&lt;br /&gt;Stability, Coordination and Governance aimed at strengthening  fiscal discipline&lt;br /&gt;and introducing stricter surveillance within the euro area,  in particular by&lt;br /&gt;establishing a balanced budget rule. The content of the  treaty had been endorsed&lt;br /&gt;at the last European Council meeting in January. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  decision by Cameron to block a Fourth Reich treaty change by using  his&lt;br /&gt;country's veto power has sparked a festive atmosphere among  libertarian&lt;br /&gt;Europeans. Cameron has applied the very veto that former Prime  Minister John&lt;br /&gt;Major should have used against the Maastricht Treaty, which  created euro. We&lt;br /&gt;should just be grateful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I congratulate Cameron on an  undeniably brave decision. There is an exciting&lt;br /&gt;sense that we are at the  beginning of a very profound change in which our&lt;br /&gt;tortured relationship with  Fourth Reich will be redefined, at long last. UK has&lt;br /&gt;been a downtrodden wife  stuck in a bad marriage, constantly threatening to go&lt;br /&gt;but never having the  nerve. Now she is finally revolting, and it is bound to&lt;br /&gt;start a domino chain  of secessions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since Margaret Thatcher famously demanded "I want my  money back," Britain&lt;br /&gt;has had to contribute less to the EU than the size of  its economy would&lt;br /&gt;otherwise require. Napoleon Sarko is very rude to Britons,  telling Cameron "you&lt;br /&gt;missed a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut. We  are sick of you&lt;br /&gt;criticizing us and telling us what to do. You say you hate  the euro and now you&lt;br /&gt;want to interfere in our meetings." Some times Sarko  avoids an extended hand of&lt;br /&gt;Cameron to greet him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue  cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic  eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause  shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of  your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kitchencabinetforum/post?postID=H-k0PvLFERkfDvyeI24VcpDVvJzQ9Q5Y6HOk6AVZzrmtedFu4N-IuV6OysVpYOdkLNptkKWatgi5XA"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  main elements of the fiscal compact include a requirement for  national&lt;br /&gt;budgets to be in balance or in surplus, a criterion that would be  met if the&lt;br /&gt;annual structural government deficit does not exceed 0.5% of GDP  at market&lt;br /&gt;prices. This balanced budget rule must be incorporated into the  member states'&lt;br /&gt;national legal systems, preferably at constitutional level,  within one year&lt;br /&gt;after the entry into force of the treaty. In the event of  deviation from this&lt;br /&gt;rule, an automatic correction mechanism will be  triggered. It will be&lt;br /&gt;defined by each member state on the basis of principles  proposed by the European&lt;br /&gt;Commission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The EU Court of Justice will be  able to verify national transposition of the&lt;br /&gt;balanced budget rule. Its  decision is binding, and can be followed up with a&lt;br /&gt;penalty of up to 0.1% of  GDP, payable to the European Stability Mechanism in the&lt;br /&gt;case of euro area  member states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich was not initiated on March 25, 1957 in Rome,  but on August 10, 1944&lt;br /&gt;in Strasbourg! Fourth Reich originates from the Red  House Report, a detailed&lt;br /&gt;account of a secret meeting at the Maison Rouge  Hotel in Strasbourg, a couple of&lt;br /&gt;blocks from today's Eldorado of Prostitutes  (EP), on August 10, 1944. There,&lt;br /&gt;Nazi officials instructed an elite group of  German industrialists to plan for&lt;br /&gt;Germany's post-war recovery, prepare for  the Nazis' return to power, and work&lt;br /&gt;for a strong Fourth Reich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  three-page, closely typed report, marked Secret, copied by British spies  and&lt;br /&gt;sent to the US Secretary of State, detailed how the industrialists were  to work&lt;br /&gt;with the Nazi Party to rebuild Germany's economy by sending money  through&lt;br /&gt;Switzerland. They would set up a network of secret front companies  abroad, wait&lt;br /&gt;until conditions were right, and then grab power with various  hoodwinking&lt;br /&gt;treaties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The treaty signed today also reinforces fiscal  rules for the euro area by&lt;br /&gt;incorporating a commitment on the part of the  contracting parties whose currency&lt;br /&gt;is the euro to adopt Council decisions in  the framework of the excessive deficit&lt;br /&gt;procedure unless opposed by  a&lt;br /&gt;qualified majority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jean Monnet, founding father of Fourth Reich,  says in a letter to a friend on&lt;br /&gt;April 13, 1952: Europe's nations should be  guided towards the super-state&lt;br /&gt;without their people understanding what is  happening. This can be accomplished&lt;br /&gt;by successive steps, each disguised as  having an economic purpose, but which&lt;br /&gt;will eventually and irreversibly lead  to federation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The treaty also contains provisions on the coordination  and convergence of&lt;br /&gt;member states' economic policies and on governance of the  euro area. In&lt;br /&gt;particular, Euro Summit junkets will take place at least twice  a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You remember this quip from former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm  Emanuel during the&lt;br /&gt;financial crisis: You never want a serious crisis to go to  waste. What matters&lt;br /&gt;to statists is that they see an opportunity in a  pseudocrisis to shape public&lt;br /&gt;perception and manipulate public opinion. The  financial crisis yielded a&lt;br /&gt;government takeover of the financial sector. The  healthcare pseudocrisis yielded&lt;br /&gt;a government takeover of the healthcare  system. What do you think&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats are going to do with the crisis of  PIGS? They'd be happy to&lt;br /&gt;transform the confederation of Fourth Reich to a  federation. You should take&lt;br /&gt;the blood libel seriously. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.

These are staged by a&lt;br /&gt;government usually to distress the public,  so the government can do something&lt;br /&gt;that the public would otherwise  disapprove. The name is derived from the&lt;br /&gt;military concept of flying false  colors; that is flying the flag of a country&lt;br /&gt;other than one's own. Lyndon  Johnson's phony Gulf of Tonkin pseudoevent started&lt;br /&gt;the Viet Nam War in 1964.  This was deemed necessary to begin a full scale war&lt;br /&gt;with public approval and  is now well documented as a false flag event. It never&lt;br /&gt;happened. Now PIGS are  the false flag to transform the confederation of Fourth&lt;br /&gt;Reich to a  federation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fiscal compact will be legally binding as an  international agreement and&lt;br /&gt;will enter into force following ratification by  at least 12 euro area member&lt;br /&gt;states.

Today, the average VAT rate in Europe is 20%. If your  country wants to join&lt;br /&gt;the European Union, you have to have a minimum VAT rate  of 15% so that people&lt;br /&gt;won't take retail shopping vacations in your cities.  Norway, Denmark, and Sweden&lt;br /&gt;win the dubious award of having the world's  highest VAT rate at 25%. This floor&lt;br /&gt;and ceiling of VAT prices is a clear  violation of antitrust laws, price fixing,&lt;br /&gt;pure and simple!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth  Reich forced the hateful VAT on Greece in 1987 and is the most  disgusting&lt;br /&gt;indirect tax. Greeks are at war against their government over the  abominable 23%&lt;br /&gt;VAT. Vatmonger Greek government harasses Greeks by pressuring  them to demand&lt;br /&gt;receipts when they buy products. Greeks who cannot gather many  receipts are&lt;br /&gt;penalized with more taxes! Transforming citizens to VAT  enforcers is&lt;br /&gt;disgusting, undignified, and against basic human freedoms.  President Van Rompuy&lt;br /&gt;should call vatmonger Graecokleptocrats on the carpet  now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso is gullible enough to believe Graecokleptocrats. Greece, the  bete noire&lt;br /&gt;of Fourth Reich, is Barroso's favorite Pinocchio. But Greece is  anathema to&lt;br /&gt;civil society. Graecokleptocrats have a long history of promising  reforms and&lt;br /&gt;not delivering, and this time is no different. After decades of  using public&lt;br /&gt;services as political spoils, Graecokleptocrats must also take  on the corruption&lt;br /&gt;and inefficiency they fostered before they can implement  the reforms that&lt;br /&gt;creditors demand before releasing further funds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt/post?postID=h8XDk9hLPtvUIJx7zT6T0nYL8v9KDumf_gwi7hgvHmU8aO31-IlMUWCfMxhxwi4VC6D0Xw5l5A"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every  time Graecokleptocrats have to receive a tranche of the money we're going&lt;br /&gt;to  have the same problem. If they keep missing targets, sooner or later  they&lt;br /&gt;won't get the money. There is a chance this is just delaying the  inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats have repeatedly voted in measures and  privatizations that have&lt;br /&gt;never materialized. It is proving a Herculean  task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece, the bully of blogosphere, has crossed the Rubicon against  civility,&lt;br /&gt;terrorizing and robbing dissident bloggers. Persecuting dissident  bloggers, the&lt;br /&gt;outlaw government of Greece violates Article 2 of the Lisbon  Treaty, which&lt;br /&gt;states the European Union is founded on the values of respect  for human dignity,&lt;br /&gt;freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect  for human rights.&lt;br /&gt;These values are common to the Member States in a society  in which pluralism,&lt;br /&gt;nondiscrimination, tolerance, and justice  prevail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso points out there is a sense of urgency. It was clear in  today's&lt;br /&gt;discussion, at least several premiers in the European Council asking  themselves&lt;br /&gt;for tighter deadlines, for more concrete programs, for more  precise calendars,&lt;br /&gt;namely is some areas that they discussed like the  implementation of the internal&lt;br /&gt;market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was really very welcome  and Barroso thinks that now they have the basis to&lt;br /&gt;go on with this European  Semester and to have a real reinforcement of economic&lt;br /&gt;governance, not only in  the euro area but in the European Union as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the  Commission today Barroso has pushed for project bonds, he&lt;br /&gt;thinks it is  important. Barroso declares we need project bonds of course for&lt;br /&gt;growth,  structural reforms, we need to deepen the single market, we need to  take&lt;br /&gt;advantage of many opportunities in terms of international trade but we  also need&lt;br /&gt;some kind of targeted investment. And it is possible with good  leveraging,&lt;br /&gt;working with others – namely the EIB – to achieve some important  projects in&lt;br /&gt;terms of infrastructure because that infrastructure in transport,  energy and&lt;br /&gt;broadband can be also for our growth. And Barroso was even more  specific about&lt;br /&gt;the need to bring down the cost of broadband roll  out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt/post?postID=h8XDk9hLPtvUIJx7zT6T0nYL8v9KDumf_gwi7hgvHmU8aO31-IlMUWCfMxhxwi4VC6D0Xw5l5A"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  asserts it is time to move from crisis mode to growth mode. For this  to&lt;br /&gt;happen, there was today also a very good discussion, Barroso thinks there  is a&lt;br /&gt;consensus on the need to close the implementation gap so that the  decisions&lt;br /&gt;taken in the European Council by Heads of State and Government  afterwards are&lt;br /&gt;really followed by concrete decisions in the Council. And this  has been as you&lt;br /&gt;know sometimes a problem, and Barroso thinks there is this  sense of momentum&lt;br /&gt;now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-7303008709788953608?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/7303008709788953608/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/there-could-be-no-growth-without.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/7303008709788953608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/7303008709788953608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/there-could-be-no-growth-without.html' title='THERE COULD BE NO GROWTH WITHOUT ABOLISHING VAT'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hTTwclqyK5g/T1CH9iK2HYI/AAAAAAAAGIE/Yc2OVo04zEU/s72-c/a2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-8624945100802767250</id><published>2012-03-01T12:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-01T12:37:55.145-08:00</updated><title type='text'>JUDGE BRIAN LEVESON PREPARES TO SUMMON RUPERT MURDOCH</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jetjQwR-0Hk/T0_dh_ZkcEI/AAAAAAAAGH8/sPGrVRuKB8w/s1600/Leveson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="199" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jetjQwR-0Hk/T0_dh_ZkcEI/AAAAAAAAGH8/sPGrVRuKB8w/s320/Leveson.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge Brian Leveson prepares to summon British newspaper owners,  including&lt;br /&gt;Rupert Murdoch, to give public testimony in April. Media moguls are  often right;&lt;br /&gt;that's how they got to be moguls. But many companies today  operate like Russian nesting dolls, where one large figure is actually made  up of many smaller ones. These organizations present a unified&lt;br /&gt;face to the  outside world, but rely heavily on other, usually smaller, companies&lt;br /&gt;or  external individuals to conduct many of their activities. That's exactly  the&lt;br /&gt;Achilles Heel of media moguls!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leveson indicates that the next  phase of his inquiry will examine relations&lt;br /&gt;between the media and British  politicians. Having a revolving door between&lt;br /&gt;politics and journalism is not  necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, persons with&lt;br /&gt;extensive experience,  regardless of ideology, can be a great asset, but only if&lt;br /&gt;they are honest.  However, many times a package of partisan ideology as news is&lt;br /&gt;the ticket to  the revolving door! Many disgusting parrots eventually  become&lt;br /&gt;MPs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most newsrooms of America and Europe are infested with  socialist apes, and their&lt;br /&gt;mindset spills over into the news coverage,  producing biased news stories on&lt;br /&gt;many issues, such as kleptocracy, taxes,  environment, government, insurance, and&lt;br /&gt;health. Infamous Greek journalists  received huge kickbacks, in order to keep&lt;br /&gt;their mouths shut about the  astronomical kickbacks to Graecokleptocrats! Omerta&lt;br /&gt;galore! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fireflyflash/post?postID=1215cDiBdkDw6j1UBMFc0VSV0cH3Moo-DxVEEhGe5jCwtHn7qRrD6mWLI4PBtvAzDETf7WNIundg"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David  Cameron is willing to give evidence to Leveson. Leveson demands to  hear&lt;br /&gt;evidence from equally important personalities in the media. Journalists  at News&lt;br /&gt;of the World hired people outside the company to illegally&lt;br /&gt;hack  into the phones of select individuals. That these hackers seem not to be&lt;br /&gt;News  of the World employees illustrates the Russian nesting doll model,  which&lt;br /&gt;contains the seeds of moral hazard, since it allows for the  plausibility of&lt;br /&gt;denial. While we readily recognize such a hazard in the food  and apparel&lt;br /&gt;industries and the need to secure all elements of their  production chain, most&lt;br /&gt;other industries have yet to recognize such a  hazard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Murdoch indicated he would be happy to cooperate with the Leveson  inquiry. A&lt;br /&gt;media mogul controls his company. His company controls much of a  market. He&lt;br /&gt;hungers for influence in politics and society. He lusts for  attention. He is&lt;br /&gt;narcissistic and vane. He knows only his strengths, but not  his weaknesses. He&lt;br /&gt;inspires endless anecdotes about his ego. Omerta galore!  Murdoch, Maxwell, and&lt;br /&gt;the Hearsts, when they still managed, fit those  criteria. Rupert Murdoch is the&lt;br /&gt;last media mogul, a breed nesting dolls are  responsible for killing in an act of&lt;br /&gt;mogulcide!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, detectives  arrested a 10th member of staff from Murdoch's The Sun&lt;br /&gt;newspaper. Rupert  Murdoch has entrusted the Management and Standards Committee&lt;br /&gt;(MSC)  to investigate the details of phone-hacking and police bribery by his  London&lt;br /&gt;tabloids and prevent such events from happening again. News  International&lt;br /&gt;journalists are furious at MSC. When an insider had described  the MSC's work as&lt;br /&gt;draining the swamp, tempers flared. Journalists ask: What  do they mean drain the&lt;br /&gt;swamp? Are they saying we're a bunch of filthy  insects?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the media business, news items require fair and secure  sourcing, despite the&lt;br /&gt;fact that a freelancer small doll may be crafting the  story. But at the&lt;br /&gt;News of the World, the people who were asked to hack the  phones were apparently&lt;br /&gt;hired by journalists, but were not journalists  themselves. Omerta galore! This&lt;br /&gt;gave them the freedom to obey norms different  from those of their employers.&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, journalists are not supposed  to act illegally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you could see Murdoch's advantage and  disadvantage. He let his trusted&lt;br /&gt;managers do as they pleased, but they tried  to please him. That's the argument&lt;br /&gt;in favor of his direct culpability in the  hacking scandal. He fostered a&lt;br /&gt;seat-of-the-pants culture where people didn't  have to be told to go too far,&lt;br /&gt;where, as he demonstrated before Parliament,  the Murdochs themselves do not take&lt;br /&gt;responsibility. Omerta galore! But that's  over now. Murdoch has lost the&lt;br /&gt;influence his newspapers gave him. He may lose  control of his company. His heirs&lt;br /&gt;will not take it over. The mogul is  extinct. God save the Queen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

He has always said he will go where the  evidence leads.&lt;br /&gt;Media moguls are soon to be extinct, for many reasons. Media  institutions' lock&lt;br /&gt;on content creation and distribution is over. The risk and  cost of starting new,&lt;br /&gt;large-scale media properties is too great. Control of  scarcity in closed markets&lt;br /&gt;led to moguls' and conglomerates' consolidation;  now, in an abundant economy,&lt;br /&gt;what used to be their assets are now their  liabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard Desmond, who owns the Daily Express, has already  appeared before the&lt;br /&gt;tribunal and the CEO of the Daily Mirror's publisher  Trinity Mirror, Sly Bailey,&lt;br /&gt;has also given evidence.

Egyptokleptocrats had  accused&lt;br /&gt;the activists of inciting hoi polloi. It's true that Occident uses  the social&lt;br /&gt;media to incite Arabs. Social media are websites that allow the  creation of&lt;br /&gt;user-generated content, such as Blogspots, Yahoo Groups,  Facebook, and Twitter. &lt;br /&gt;Social media is the best political tool.

They  are doing online what&lt;br /&gt;they used to do offline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karl-Theodor Guttenberg  is the Czar of Cyberincitement. He has been appointed by&lt;br /&gt;Neelie Kroes with  specific instructions to cooperate with Hillary Clinton to use&lt;br /&gt;the social  media for Occidental propaganda, especially to incite people to&lt;br /&gt;overthrow  their antioccidental governments. Mission impossible! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Theory of Critical Mass proves that you only need a few  fireflies,&lt;br /&gt;influential people, to reach a critical mass, tipping point, for a  chain&lt;br /&gt;reaction of people. It might take a long time to reach the tipping  point, but&lt;br /&gt;after that point things happen in a very short time, like an  atomic bomb. &lt;br /&gt;Therefore Guttenberg's mission is to find fireflies of  propaganda for a critical&lt;br /&gt;mass of people to propagate Occidental ideas to the  rest of the world. Using&lt;br /&gt;internet as a propaganda tool turns global politics  upside down, but it saves&lt;br /&gt;trillions of dollars in unnecessary  wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This mindless promotion of Occidental culture and Occidental  kleptocracy&lt;br /&gt;alienates the governments targeted and will motivate them to harm  Occident in&lt;br /&gt;some manner. Thousands of young and naive people will die at the  hands of the&lt;br /&gt;regimes they are instigated to overthrow by the  democracy-pushing kleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;all of whom are safe and secure in Washington  and Brussels, inspiring&lt;br /&gt;pseudoheroic vanity. A libertarian  non-interventionist policy will allow&lt;br /&gt;foreigners to work out their political  destiny in their own way and at their own&lt;br /&gt;pace, prevent unnecessary additions  to Occident's growing list of enemies,&lt;br /&gt;prevent the clash of cultures, and  save countless young lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained  in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact,  baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I  look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your  conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/euroliberty/post?postID=gE-X-pWuISuW2Dr-Rh4iS-fviAe3CB-tDXDS-fT5oYOCp5xrZAM3cpJEB8nhtwOROuRFQwU9P4FVmNYX"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  group of 15 people, included eight Americans, among them Sam LaHood,  three&lt;br /&gt;Serbians, two Germans and one Norwegian and one Palestinian. They left  on an&lt;br /&gt;American plane sent to get them. What is happening in Egypt right now  is a&lt;br /&gt;transition from a dictatorship to another dictatorship. In transitions,  they&lt;br /&gt;are inherently uncertain and you can't judge them on a minute-by-minute  basis.&lt;br /&gt;You really have to take a kind of long view. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  case has been used to divert attention from the faltering economy of  Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;Judge Abdel Moez Ibrahim says the case has been switched from a  criminal court&lt;br /&gt;to one handling misdemeanors where the maximum penalty is a  fine, not jail.&lt;br /&gt;Those involved posted bail of 2 million Egyptian pounds  ($330,000) each and the&lt;br /&gt;travel ban was lifted. The first session of the court  that was initially hearing&lt;br /&gt;the case took place on Sunday. It had been  adjourned until April 26, but a new&lt;br /&gt;date will now be set since the case has  been transferred to another court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year after the revolution in Tahrir  Square, Egypt is run by the military. This&lt;br /&gt;is not what the people died in  Tahrir Square for. Additionally, the economy is&lt;br /&gt;worsening, and the country's  recent parliamentary election failed to produce a&lt;br /&gt;parliament reflective of  the people's ambitions for a more liberal and&lt;br /&gt;pluralistic country. Instead,  the new parliament is dominated by Islamists who&lt;br /&gt;include not only the Muslim  Brotherhood but the terrorist Salafis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sixteen of the 43 people charged  are Americans. Some of the U.S. activists had&lt;br /&gt;sought refuge in the U.S.  embassy. Egyptokleptocrats note that ties with the&lt;br /&gt;United States would  recover without major long-term damage. Relations have been&lt;br /&gt;strained at a  sensitive point when Egypt makes the transition from army to&lt;br /&gt;civilian  rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Egyptokleptocrats realize the relationship with the United States  is extremely&lt;br /&gt;important, and so are the billion dollars they receive from  Uncle Sam every&lt;br /&gt;year, just to be nice to Occident and Israel. This is a  long-standing strategic&lt;br /&gt;alliance that the incitement case could not  jeopardize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of the groups involved, the National Democratic Institute  (NDI) and the&lt;br /&gt;International Republican Institute (IRI), are affiliated with  Democrats and&lt;br /&gt;Republicans. IRI, which employs Sam LaHood, son of U.S.  Transportation Secretary&lt;br /&gt;Ray LaHood, as its Egypt Director, welcomed the  lifting of the travel ban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NDI is the pet project of Hillary Clinton,  which promotes her brand of feminism&lt;br /&gt;in Middle East. Clinton strongly  condemns the gender-based violence against&lt;br /&gt;women that is on the rise at all  levels of Egyptian society. It began in 2005&lt;br /&gt;with the government's systematic  campaign of sexually assaulting and&lt;br /&gt;intimidating female activists and  journalists. When the regime attacks women and&lt;br /&gt;holds no one accountable, it  sends out a signal that women are fair game. When&lt;br /&gt;the street then attacks  women and the police stands by and does nothing, that&lt;br /&gt;continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  recent survey conducted by the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights showed  that&lt;br /&gt;more than 80 percent of Egyptian women face sexual harassment, groping,  and&lt;br /&gt;unwanted sexual attention. This is a problem the Egyptian people must not  hide&lt;br /&gt;from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty  words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new  dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil  Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/euroliberty/post?postID=gE-X-pWuISuW2Dr-Rh4iS-fviAe3CB-tDXDS-fT5oYOCp5xrZAM3cpJEB8nhtwOROuRFQwU9P4FVmNYX"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton  points out Egyptian women are attacked by the regime, women are attacked&lt;br /&gt;by  the street, women are attacked openly. There is something about  gender-based&lt;br /&gt;violence in Egypt that is horrific. We have to look it in the  eye and we must&lt;br /&gt;speak out about it, not just when it is the regime that is  doing it to women,&lt;br /&gt;but when it's Egyptian men on the civilian level who are  doing it to women.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-3652739015225181267?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/3652739015225181267/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/hillary-clinton-and-egyptokleptocrats.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3652739015225181267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3652739015225181267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/hillary-clinton-and-egyptokleptocrats.html' title='HILLARY CLINTON AND EGYPTOKLEPTOCRATS LOCK HORNS'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v4UnswQwlpA/T0_Qnfoc0rI/AAAAAAAAGH0/xLtEr86PBIo/s72-c/USA-Clinton.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-1751845009175796490</id><published>2012-03-01T09:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-01T09:18:31.566-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SOCIAL DIALOGUE AND SOZIALE MARKTWIRTSCHAFT</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gnhdC9qgSSk/T0-tLiseSgI/AAAAAAAAGHs/Jerpl3qa4kk/s1600/EU13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gnhdC9qgSSk/T0-tLiseSgI/AAAAAAAAGHs/Jerpl3qa4kk/s1600/EU13.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van Rompuy declares that today more than ever social dialogue has an  important&lt;br /&gt;role to play in our common efforts to restore growth and jobs. We  should make&lt;br /&gt;full use of the tools offered by the European&lt;br /&gt;Unions' new  economic governance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vaclav Klaus asserts the main problem of Fourth  Reich is the European economic&lt;br /&gt;and social system that doesn't allow for a  rapid economic growth. The European&lt;br /&gt;soziale Marktwirtschaft, as it is called  in German, prefers social policy based&lt;br /&gt;on income redistribution to productive  work. It prefers free-time and long&lt;br /&gt;holidays to hard work. It prefers  consumption to investments, debts to savings,&lt;br /&gt;security to  risk-taking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of it is part of a broader civilizational and cultural  problem, deeply&lt;br /&gt;rooted in the European continent or in most of its countries.  It can't be&lt;br /&gt;exterminated overnight, it can't be changed as a result of one or  another EU&lt;br /&gt;summit, it can't be changed by painless cosmetic changes. It  requires a deep&lt;br /&gt;systemic change, something structurally similar to the task  we had to accomplish&lt;br /&gt;two decades ago in the moment of the fall of  communism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van Rompuy notes the economic situation is different in each  member state.&lt;br /&gt;People in some countries in particular felt the impact of the  crisis and&lt;br /&gt;austerity measures which followed. In others it is the lack of  confidence of&lt;br /&gt;consumers and companies. Restoring confidence in the eurozone  is a growth&lt;br /&gt;strategy in itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider the European Union null and  void confederation, because Europeans did&lt;br /&gt;not vote for any constitutional  treaty! Eurokleptocrats pulled off the biggest&lt;br /&gt;powergrab in history by  imposing a camouflaged constitution, bypassing all&lt;br /&gt;nonos. The Nazi dream for  Europe was finally fullfilled - ein Volk, ein Reich,&lt;br /&gt;ein Fuehrer - one  people, one empire, one leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully  explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball  contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.  That's why I look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at  your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eurofreedom/post?postID=ERXSt_fN9u8W7QYxkQzmBdwHFsotyTTFVIS206Dc8F-nBcjQg6R2Cus-6xDccfePjGWolQOq3byEu6-B"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van  Rompuy hoodwinks that the measures taken both at the level of the  Member&lt;br /&gt;States and the eurozone as a whole to stabilize the situation are  bearing fruit.&lt;br /&gt;We are seeing clear signs of stabilisation in the&lt;br /&gt;financial  markets. Interest rates decreased dramatically in a lot of countries.&lt;br /&gt;But we  are not complacent and remain vigilant and ready to act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats  claim they are doing the utmost about to stimulating growth and&lt;br /&gt;employment on  the short and longer term. This remains our overriding objective.&lt;br /&gt;To achieve  this we need fiscal sustainability and structural reforms to  raise&lt;br /&gt;productivity and investment. This is a&lt;br /&gt;precondition for growth and  jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van Rompuy notes that fiscal consolidation remains unavoidable to  keep our&lt;br /&gt;social models sustainable and is not only due to the strengthening  of the&lt;br /&gt;economic and monetary union. Our targets under the Europe 2020  Strategy remain&lt;br /&gt;relevant in the midst of a policy of&lt;br /&gt;fiscal consolidation.  These include on employment, innovation, research and&lt;br /&gt;development, climate  change and energy objectives, education and social&lt;br /&gt;inclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Lisbon Treaty is Eurokleptocracy's Pyrrhic victory. It created  a&lt;br /&gt;confederation, Fourth Reich, without a popular foundation. EU lacks  legitimacy&lt;br /&gt;among Europeans. Eurokleptocrats created a situation where the  citizens of slave&lt;br /&gt;States live their lives with a resigned feeling that the EU  project is not their&lt;br /&gt;own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van Rompuy asserts expenditures in those  areas should be protected as much as&lt;br /&gt;possible because they contribute to  future growth. While important measures have&lt;br /&gt;been taken by all Member States,  reforms in&lt;br /&gt;certain areas are lagging behind and implementation is  uneven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich is an illegal confederation that has no voted  constitution, a flag&lt;br /&gt;no one salutes, an anthem no one sings, a Fuehrer no one  can name, a parliament&lt;br /&gt;of prostitutes, a capital of huge bureaucracy no one  controls, a currency that&lt;br /&gt;soon will not exist, rules of fiscal behavior that  no member has been penalized&lt;br /&gt;for ignoring, a commission which is the Eldorado  of corruption, brutal&lt;br /&gt;cybercops, and kleptocrats galore! Ode to Joy is the  anthem of Fourth Reich. It&lt;br /&gt;is based on the final movement of Beethoven's 9th  Symphony, and it's used&lt;br /&gt;without lyrics. &lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van  Rompuy is very much aware that this crisis and some remedies put  social&lt;br /&gt;cohesion at stake. It can also damage the European idea itself. That  is why we&lt;br /&gt;have to tackle inequalities and poverty, that is why we need  results of our&lt;br /&gt;policies in terms of growth and jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichian  monetary and fiscal unification is the Trojan horse for overall&lt;br /&gt;harmonization  of economic rules, policies, and laws in Fourth Reich. Any&lt;br /&gt;eurozone problem  is interpreted as a consequence of the lack of harmonization&lt;br /&gt;and leads to  another wave of a creeping harmonization. Fuehrer Merkozy&lt;br /&gt;frequently declares  that coordinating tax policies and labor laws is not just&lt;br /&gt;about currency  issues but also about political cooperation, which has to be&lt;br /&gt;deepened. In  other words, more enslavement to Brussels, transforming the&lt;br /&gt;confederation to  a federation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van Rompuy declares the European social model is not dead.  An early involvement&lt;br /&gt;of all relevant stakeholders, in particular the social  partners, is necessary&lt;br /&gt;for the adjustment measures to be successful. Smart  words are more effective&lt;br /&gt;than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic  keynote speaker can transform&lt;br /&gt;your people to a new dimension of  organizational climate, efficiency,&lt;br /&gt;self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.

We all know that  Greece&lt;br /&gt;lied in order to join eurozone. The infamous Greek statistical  authority&lt;br /&gt;(ELSTAT) got orders from the Simitis government of Greece to use  creative&lt;br /&gt;accounting to come with false statistical data enabling Greece to  meet the&lt;br /&gt;standard requirements of eurozone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cradle of Kleptocracy  should never have been allowed to join the eurozone in&lt;br /&gt;the first place due to  its long history of kleptocracy, financial&lt;br /&gt;irresponsibility, and because  Papademos, that time President of the Bank of&lt;br /&gt;Greece, lied about Greece's  financial condition, sending Trojan Horses to&lt;br /&gt;Brussels as  budgets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basil Venitis points out that everybody knew Graecokleptocrat  send false&lt;br /&gt;statistical data and wrong budget. But Fourth Reich's great  experiment with&lt;br /&gt;monetary union has been propelled more by politics than  economics. Once in the&lt;br /&gt;eurozone, Graecokleptocrats took advantage of the  stability it brought not to&lt;br /&gt;reform and improve competitiveness, but to  increase their kickbacks, and to&lt;br /&gt;amass debt at low rates of interest to fund  myriad sinecures in exchange for&lt;br /&gt;votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Commission has just  adopted a Decision approving Greece's imaginary&lt;br /&gt;Commitment on Confidence in  Statistics, which was endorsed by the Grand Brothel&lt;br /&gt;on Syntagma Square and  signed by Premier Papademos. But this means nothing,&lt;br /&gt;because  Graecokleptocrats never keep their commitments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats have a  long history of promising reforms and not delivering,&lt;br /&gt;and this time is no  different. After decades of using public services as&lt;br /&gt;political spoils,  Graecokleptocrats must also take on the corruption and&lt;br /&gt;inefficiency they  fostered before they can implement the reforms that creditors&lt;br /&gt;demand before  releasing further funds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  its Commitment, the Greek government hoodwinks a number of imaginary  pledges&lt;br /&gt;with a view to ensuring that statistics is reliable, credible and  independently&lt;br /&gt;compiled. Mission impossible! These include ensuring that Greek  statistics meet&lt;br /&gt;European and international quality standards and defending  the professional&lt;br /&gt;independence of the Greek statistical authority  (ELSTAT).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurozone paymaster Germany ratchets up the pressure on  Graecokleptocrats, saying&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich needs action, not words. Schaeuble  declares promises of&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats on reform are no longer good enough,  because so many vows have&lt;br /&gt;been broken and the country, which has been a  bottomless pit, has to&lt;br /&gt;dramatically change its ways. Schaeuble cannot  understand why Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;add insult to injury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An annex to the  imaginary Commitment lists areas for improvement, which are due&lt;br /&gt;to be  incorporated into the Greek Statistical Law before the end of March.  An&lt;br /&gt;independent statistical advisory board will be created to oversee  the&lt;br /&gt;implementation of the European Statistics Code of Practice by the  Greek&lt;br /&gt;statistical system. Mission impossible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's Decision takes  note of the pseudoprogress that has been made in&lt;br /&gt;improving the quality and  reliability of Greek statistics since 2010, thanks,&lt;br /&gt;amongst other things, to  a joint ELSTAT/Eurostat statistical action plan. On&lt;br /&gt;behalf of the Commission,  Algirdas Semeta, European Commissioner responsible for&lt;br /&gt;statistics, has  counter-signed the imaginary Greek Commitment on Confidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europeans  are sick and tired of hoodwinks and dirty games of  Graecokleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;blogbusters who violate the Lisbon Treaty. Sarko says  Graecokleptocrats are&lt;br /&gt;crazy and depressed! Graecokleptocrats are haggling  aboard Titanic in the ocean&lt;br /&gt;of Greek indignation. Graecokleptocrats should be  hanged in front of the Grand&lt;br /&gt;Brothel on Syntagma Square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this  occasion, Commissioner Semeta said: Reliable statistics are essential&lt;br /&gt;for  governments, businesses, citizens and the markets to take informed  and&lt;br /&gt;rational decisions. Credible statistics are the basis for public trust  in&lt;br /&gt;economic policies and programmes. I welcome Greece's commitment to  quality&lt;br /&gt;statistics, and will support all work to ensure that Greek data is of  the&lt;br /&gt;highest quality possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Commission will continue to give  technical support to Greece in the area of&lt;br /&gt;statistics, and will monitor the  implementation of the imaginary Commitment on&lt;br /&gt;Confidence. Mission impossible!  Graecokleptocrats have made their culture of&lt;br /&gt;corruption the norm of the  national character of Greece. The debasement of the&lt;br /&gt;Greek soul is due to huge  political corruption, statist propaganda, and&lt;br /&gt;religulous  brainwashing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plato and Aristotle asserted that different regimes produce  different types of&lt;br /&gt;human beings, and regimes ought to be judged by the  character of their citizens.&lt;br /&gt;In Fourth Reich, the growth of interventionist  welfare state has damaged&lt;br /&gt;personal responsibility and integrity, fostered  dependence, undermined families,&lt;br /&gt;rejected freedom, and promoted  corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Especially in Greece, the most corrupt country in Occident,  political corruption&lt;br /&gt;is accepted as a normal thing, and most Greeks rely on  bribes, graft, sinecures,&lt;br /&gt;cheating, incivility, nepotism, cronyism, cancer of  socialism, jingoism,&lt;br /&gt;iconolatry, perjury, lies, and kickbacks. The character  of modern Greece is the&lt;br /&gt;opposite of the character of ancient Greece of Plato  and Aristotle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece is the queen of political corruption in Occident.  The impunity of the&lt;br /&gt;300 MPs of the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square is the  most freakish thing on&lt;br /&gt;Earth. Even though Graecokleptocrats looted many  billion euros in kickbacks and&lt;br /&gt;churning, not a single Graecokleptocrat has  ever gone to jail!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats are protected by the parliamentary  immunity, and nobody can&lt;br /&gt;touch them, no matter what. Moreover, they have the  nerve to jail dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers. It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of  Leonidas! Allons enfants de&lt;br /&gt;la Grece! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christine  Lagarde of IMF has made it absolutely clear she does not  trust&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats, because they never apply what they vote in the Grand  Brothel&lt;br /&gt;on Syntagma Square! All Europeans condemn Graecokleptocrats for  creating hundred&lt;br /&gt;state agencies and hiring many thousands of public  employees, even though they&lt;br /&gt;promised Troika to close down all agencies and  fire many public employees. Some&lt;br /&gt;executives at state enterprises have annual  salaries of 300,000 euros! Greeks&lt;br /&gt;wonder why the bank accounts of rich  ministers have not been opened and why&lt;br /&gt;major tax evaders have not been  arrested.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-7074233867175816662?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/7074233867175816662/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/barroso-loves-pinocchio.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/7074233867175816662'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/7074233867175816662'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/barroso-loves-pinocchio.html' title='BARROSO LOVES PINOCCHIO'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TjtELXv9zww/T0-ZijHH9OI/AAAAAAAAGHk/8F0IDZTPp9M/s72-c/Pinocchio.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-1813695020658822659</id><published>2012-03-01T03:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-01T03:30:31.754-08:00</updated><title type='text'>LES MISERABLES AND GRAECOKLEPTOCRATS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5uiL0Yu_7o8/T09dgqA23WI/AAAAAAAAGHc/bRDlQKfw6hw/s1600/revolt1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5uiL0Yu_7o8/T09dgqA23WI/AAAAAAAAGHc/bRDlQKfw6hw/s1600/revolt1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only Anglosphere has real justice. Greece, the most corrupt country in  Occident,&lt;br /&gt;has the worst justice in Fourth Reich, easily manipulated by the  kangaroo&lt;br /&gt;government. Greek justice is a spider web, catching small prey and  swallowing&lt;br /&gt;them, while allowing crocodiles to penetrate and dominate it.  Visiting Greek&lt;br /&gt;prisons, one could see all les miserables that fill them up,  but he could not&lt;br /&gt;find any kleptocrats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=zP1GIbtD7FJ3za6CwUPVyz1cDyoHcxXTy4GT7Q_jje__Nrl1LEawQ-EIQagcm_8Sj-ez2CPat3yorMI"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Greek Ministry of Justice is a euphemism for the Greek Ministry of&lt;br /&gt;Injustice,  aka Kangaroo Ministry! It's justice proceeding by leaps, like a&lt;br /&gt;kangaroo.  Most courts of the metropolitan area of Athens are located on&lt;br /&gt;Evelpidon  campus, a Kangaroo Valley where trials on average last a couple of&lt;br /&gt;minutes  without jury and without schedule. The accused have to wait in  infinite&lt;br /&gt;queues, not knowing the exact time of their trial. Kangaroos  galore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats enjoy impunity, whereas citizens suffer from  perjury. Police&lt;br /&gt;thugs are the main perjurers. Greek prosecutors lie like  hell! Freak galore!&lt;br /&gt;Public prosecutors pick up either very easy targets of  poor people who cannot&lt;br /&gt;afford defense to justify a quota system or very large  targets to get publicity.&lt;br /&gt;Prosecuting famous bloggers brings a lot of  publicity to machiavellian&lt;br /&gt;kleptocrats, pusillanimous prosecutors, and  bumptious cybercops. Brutal&lt;br /&gt;Graecocybercops must be abolished  now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=zP1GIbtD7FJ3za6CwUPVyz1cDyoHcxXTy4GT7Q_jje__Nrl1LEawQ-EIQagcm_8Sj-ez2CPat3yorMI"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  October of 2010, an unknown American, member of Crystal Clear Forum,  an&lt;br /&gt;American Yahoo Group, used as pseudonym the name of Mariliza  Xenogiannakopoulou,&lt;br /&gt;Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, to post  a single message about&lt;br /&gt;Turkey. The unknown American did not violate any law  because, according to the&lt;br /&gt;Supreme Court of USA, anybody can use any pseudonym  or pen name. For example,&lt;br /&gt;thousands of people use Obama's name as a  pseudonym. It's considered an honor,&lt;br /&gt;not a forgery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only  spoofing is forgery. The unknown American would have used spoofing if  she&lt;br /&gt;used Xenogiannakopoulou's email which is &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=mgqdXaM7YfSrl-aRtIxOppQ_7rxwaL6ZGVlATIlK48qgH_4opL5IEq9pKGRa1YQyVIR9gz2ekrpTrQ"&gt;marilxen@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Instead she used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=Osc--L9-7ou9GUjn98oQ_gWiJLRgmU_YNY2MfoUFO0iOHxvsl3u1WRT6FlzLS_Ya8o8XnfBWuo_rHROSrxtywcU0MnZym9YHDHiAwjGsyWQ"&gt;mariliza.xenogiannakopoulou@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;  which is not Xenogiannakopoulou's email.&lt;br /&gt;The unknown American posted on &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum"&gt;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with  her pseudonym using a kind of literature called Lyric Essay, which  uses&lt;br /&gt;emotion and color to enlighten a message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some malevolent  characters misinformed Xenogiannakopoulou that the culprit was&lt;br /&gt;I, Basil  Venitis, just because my name was mentioned in the post! As a result&lt;br /&gt;of this  misinformation, on October 18, 2010, a gang of six brutal cybercops of&lt;br /&gt;the  violent Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) broke into my home in Athens and into&lt;br /&gt;my  college office, and stole my computers, software, files, documents,  and&lt;br /&gt;personal data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cybercops locked me in jail for a night, they  humiliated me with handcuffs,&lt;br /&gt;fingerprints, mug shots, and lies, leaked false  information to the media&lt;br /&gt;parrots, and the Greek government initiated sham  court proceedings for a stack&lt;br /&gt;of charges, including forgery and treason!  There was neither pillow nor toilet&lt;br /&gt;facility in my jail cell. I had to  urinate in a bottle! I, a 65 year old with&lt;br /&gt;heart problems, was not allowed to  keep my hypertension pills with me. There&lt;br /&gt;was neither toilet paper nor soap  in the whole CCU jail facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's not the end of the story. My  nerves are broken by no accuser showing&lt;br /&gt;up during my court trial! The judge  always has to postpone the trial for&lt;br /&gt;another day and so it goes ad infinitum.  Meanwhile, I always have to show up&lt;br /&gt;and waste the whole day waiting as there  is no definite timing for the hearing,&lt;br /&gt;but only a day. I and my lawyer have  to be in the courtroom the whole day until&lt;br /&gt;the judge calls my name. Then the  judge calls the name of the accuser, nobody&lt;br /&gt;replies, and the judge postpones  the trial for another day. This has happened&lt;br /&gt;five times so far! This is a  real Greek tragedy! Justice delayed is no&lt;br /&gt;justice, justice perpetuated is  hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAILBIRD FOR A NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;By Basil Venitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=zP1GIbtD7FJ3za6CwUPVyz1cDyoHcxXTy4GT7Q_jje__Nrl1LEawQ-EIQagcm_8Sj-ez2CPat3yorMI"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big  brother checks the internet&lt;br /&gt;For things you criticize&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mouth on  the net&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mind on the sky.&lt;br /&gt;Cops busted my home&lt;br /&gt;And stole my  computer&lt;br /&gt;Hard disk on their comb&lt;br /&gt;blogger on their mooter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They  threw me in jail&lt;br /&gt;For speaking my mind&lt;br /&gt;My words are out of  jail&lt;br /&gt;Revolting in a kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This jail is awful&lt;br /&gt;Without pillow  alone&lt;br /&gt;Urinating in a bottle&lt;br /&gt;And the girl next cell begins to  moan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screaming in the dark of jail&lt;br /&gt;Guards pretending they are  deaf&lt;br /&gt;She is a girl, she is frail&lt;br /&gt;She is missing her Jeff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can  smile at the old days,&lt;br /&gt;I was a handsome professor then.&lt;br /&gt;Those were real  happy days&lt;br /&gt;Happy memory lives again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesmiserables in  jail&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats out of jail&lt;br /&gt;This is hell on Earth&lt;br /&gt;It's shame and  pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time for a real revolt&lt;br /&gt;To bring a real change&lt;br /&gt;To bring the  looting to a halt&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats should not escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats must be  laughing&lt;br /&gt;Premier must be happy,&lt;br /&gt;This is stupid and  disgusting,&lt;br /&gt;Government has a party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmglads sleeping before  dawn&lt;br /&gt;Silence cut with a cry&lt;br /&gt;Jailbird could be reborn&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to a  happy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My memory leads me&lt;br /&gt;Finding strength within&lt;br /&gt;People  really love me&lt;br /&gt;A new life should begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for the  sunrise&lt;br /&gt;Thinking of a new life&lt;br /&gt;I mustn't give in&lt;br /&gt;A new day will  begin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-1813695020658822659?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/1813695020658822659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/les-miserables-and-graecokleptocrats.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/1813695020658822659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/1813695020658822659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/03/les-miserables-and-graecokleptocrats.html' title='LES MISERABLES AND GRAECOKLEPTOCRATS'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5uiL0Yu_7o8/T09dgqA23WI/AAAAAAAAGHc/bRDlQKfw6hw/s72-c/revolt1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-3952876190872701632</id><published>2012-03-01T02:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-01T02:18:37.248-08:00</updated><title type='text'>GREEK TRAGEDY DETERIORATES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WxrF2uQCQvY/T09MgzHRx4I/AAAAAAAAGHU/3iYabG_u0yE/s1600/gr5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WxrF2uQCQvY/T09MgzHRx4I/AAAAAAAAGHU/3iYabG_u0yE/s1600/gr5.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square approved cuts in pensions and health care  a&lt;br /&gt;day after ratifying a 3.2 billion euro package of spending reductions. MPs  voted&lt;br /&gt;213-58 in favor of the law. But the main problem of Greece is not  spending, but&lt;br /&gt;political corruption. Greece is the queen of political  corruption in Occident. &lt;br /&gt;The impunity of the 300 MPs of the Grand Brothel on  Syntagma Square is the most&lt;br /&gt;freakish thing on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though  Graecokleptocrats looted many billion euros in kickbacks and&lt;br /&gt;churning, not a  single Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to jail! &lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats are  protected by the parliamentary immunity, and nobody can&lt;br /&gt;touch them, no matter  what.

But  nobody&lt;br /&gt;trusts Graecokleptocrats! Eurogroup discuss the second Greek rescue  program in&lt;br /&gt;Brussels today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christine Lagarde of IMF has made it  absolutely clear she does not trust&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats, because they never  apply what they vote in the Grand Brothel&lt;br /&gt;on Syntagma Square!

That's why I look  forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.  Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalistsforever/post?postID=3P0Tp-TyIVkaOD2xfC5GTVzgxpglooEoq_72N8a70KRgF0FoyGZzUWId7ARYFKsCpISacXJZBVOk"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  measures of Graecokleptocrats drive the economy deeper into a depression.&lt;br /&gt;The  economy shrank seven percent last year and is set to contract ten percent  in&lt;br /&gt;2012. There is no way any prudent investor will throw a euro in the  bankrupt&lt;br /&gt;Cradle of Kleptocracy, which is infested with blogbusters and the  cancer of&lt;br /&gt;socialism. More than two millennia ago, the Cradle of Democracy was  the leading&lt;br /&gt;light of Western civilization, the Graecoroman culture. Now the  Cradle of&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocracy is leading the way towards the decline of that  civilization. It's&lt;br /&gt;enough to inspire a new Sophocles with a  supertragedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One must be very stupid to invest in Greece, the land of  huge bureaucracy, huge&lt;br /&gt;corruption, heavy taxes, 23% VAT, kangaroo justice,  police brutality, cancer of&lt;br /&gt;socialism, and persecution of dissident bloggers.  90% of new businesses go&lt;br /&gt;bankrupt within a year, and survivors are harassed  and looted by&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats. Businessmen are treated like criminals. Even  businesses&lt;br /&gt;with real losses have to pay heavy taxes, subject to ridiculous  pseudo-objective&lt;br /&gt;criteria! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  revolt shut down most services and burnt many buildings.&lt;br /&gt;The reforms approved  this week will cut 12 percent off the amount exceeding&lt;br /&gt;1,300 euros for those  receiving pensions from the state, trim wages for all&lt;br /&gt;state employees and cut  the minimum wage by 22 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greek debt differs from that of other  nations, because it's not due to spending,&lt;br /&gt;but robbing! Graecokleptocrats got  huge kickbacks from overpriced purchases of&lt;br /&gt;public equipment and contracts  and by churning the state insurance funds. If&lt;br /&gt;this is not robbing, what is  it? When politicians of other nations were trying&lt;br /&gt;to do things for their  citizens, Graecokleptocrats were trying to fatten their&lt;br /&gt;secret offshore  accounts, protected by parliamentary immunity. Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;rob Peter  not to give Paul, but to themselves!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why the Greek workers are on  strike. They resent paying the huge Greek&lt;br /&gt;debt created by Graecokleptocrats.  It's not fair to tax and reduce the salaries&lt;br /&gt;and benefits of workers to make  up for the money stolen by Graecokleptocrats. &lt;br /&gt;The fairest action would be  for Graecokleptocrats to return the stolen money&lt;br /&gt;back to the Greek treasury.

The event drew a&lt;br /&gt;powerful lineup of anti-bullying advocates, researchers, and  celebrities,&lt;br /&gt;including a powerhouse trio of women — Gaga, talk show host  Oprah Winfrey, and&lt;br /&gt;U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen  Sebelius. Gaga was&lt;br /&gt;accompanied by her mother and group co-founder Cynthia  Germanotta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gaga  stressed that her new charity will try to inspire a major cultural shift.&lt;br /&gt;"I  can't give you an answer. I can't say I will solve problems," said  the&lt;br /&gt;singer. "It's a transformative change in culture over time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An  important part of that change, she said, includes the three pillars of  the&lt;br /&gt;new initiative: skills, safety, and opportunity. "I want everyone to feel  safe&lt;br /&gt;in their community, school, home, whatever city you live in," and to  develop the&lt;br /&gt;skills needed to be a "loving, accepting, and tolerant" human  being, Gaga told&lt;br /&gt;Winfrey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Once you feel safe in your environment and  you acquire the skills to be a&lt;br /&gt;loving and accepting person, the opportunities  for you are endless to become a&lt;br /&gt;great, functioning" part of  society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using technology creatively to get her message across will be  another vital part&lt;br /&gt;of the new initiative, said Gaga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's going to  take a really long time, and if anyone knows how to get a message&lt;br /&gt;out there,  it's me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winfrey took the stage to interview the singer about her plans.  Gaga's&lt;br /&gt;initiative, Winfrey said, speaks to the innate human desire for  acceptance and&lt;br /&gt;validation that she saw time and again during her work as a  television&lt;br /&gt;interviewer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I believe that every human being on the  planet comes with the inherent divine&lt;br /&gt;right to be himself and herself,"  Winfrey said. "That's what we're here to do:&lt;br /&gt;to fulfill the highest  expression of ourselves as human beings."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie Koch notes the foundation  was created to foster a more accepting society,&lt;br /&gt;where differences are  embraced and individuality is celebrated, and it is&lt;br /&gt;dedicated to creating a  safe community that helps connect young people with the&lt;br /&gt;skills and  opportunities they need to build a braver, kinder world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is the  beginning of a journey that we will all take together,"  said&lt;br /&gt;Germanotta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a  post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring  my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look  forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.  Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalismos/post?postID=0Mx_GsUk4w9OaPEwZru5LWpJmNjqsibj2izHly6CpCdsfxU5zLS2Pth2p1JwOxItvaSAR60D1m1e"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Status-based  socialist thinking is widespread. This sets off a spiral of&lt;br /&gt;devaluation,  especially in times of crisis. Someone who is afraid of moving down&lt;br /&gt;in the  world, or is worried about being rendered useless tomorrow, is more&lt;br /&gt;likely to  denigrate weaker people, to prove to himself that there is still&lt;br /&gt;someone  below him on the ladder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The attitudes of the older generation are  transferred to young people in many&lt;br /&gt;cases, because older people have a lot of  credibility among young people. This&lt;br /&gt;has to be carefully analyzed against the  background of an aging society. Youth&lt;br /&gt;programs don't do any good, either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Society  is more divided today than it was 10 years ago. Xenophobia, racism, and&lt;br /&gt;the  cancer of socialism are on the rise once again, especially after the  crises&lt;br /&gt;that began in 2008. Some 92 percent of society believes that the rich  are&lt;br /&gt;getting richer and the poor even poorer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more  effective than smart bombs!

After 50 years  of&lt;br /&gt;space exploration and utilization, a comedian might even say there's not  as much&lt;br /&gt;space up there as there used to be! But the problem of potentially  hazardous&lt;br /&gt;debris is not a joke, but rather an increasingly greater and  greater danger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose  notes there are approximately 22,000 pieces of large debris (&amp;gt;~10 cm)  in&lt;br /&gt;various Earth orbits. Some of this debris is simply dead satellites or  spent&lt;br /&gt;booster upper stages still orbiting. Another type of debris results  from&lt;br /&gt;accidents or mishaps, such as the 2009 Cosmos-Iridium collision. Other  accidents&lt;br /&gt;that have occurred are when objects slipped the grasp of our  astronauts&lt;br /&gt;including a glove, cameras, a wrench, pliers, a tool bag, and even  a toothbrush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still another type of debris results from intentionally  destructive events, such&lt;br /&gt;as China's test in space of an anti-satellite weapon  in 2007 that intercepted&lt;br /&gt;its own weather satellite, thus generating  long-lived debris, some of which will&lt;br /&gt;not re-enter Earth's atmosphere for  over 100 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post,  but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my  soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look  forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.

In&lt;br /&gt;fact, less than two months ago, the United States and Russia  orchestrated a&lt;br /&gt;debris avoidance maneuver of the International Space Station  in order to avoid a&lt;br /&gt;series of collision threats posed by a fragment of debris  created by China's&lt;br /&gt;2007 anti-satellite weapons test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose says that  Tto address the growing problem of orbital debris, the United&lt;br /&gt;States has  expanded its engagement within the United Nations and with other&lt;br /&gt;governments  and non-governmental organizations. Uncle Sam is continuing to lead&lt;br /&gt;the  development and adoption of international standards to minimize  debris,&lt;br /&gt;building upon the foundation of the U.N. Space Debris Mitigation  Guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose notes that the U.S. guidelines on debris mitigation are  even stricter than&lt;br /&gt;those that were established by the Inter-Agency Space  Debris Coordination&lt;br /&gt;Committee and then adopted by the Committee on the  Peaceful Uses of Outer Space&lt;br /&gt;and endorsed by the United Nations. Space debris  is also a topic currently being&lt;br /&gt;discussed within the multi-year study of  long-term sustainability within the&lt;br /&gt;Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of  the U.N. Committee on the Peaceful Uses&lt;br /&gt;of Outer Space, or  COPUOS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose points out there are a variety of international fora  currently looking at&lt;br /&gt;how the international community can cooperate to enhance  the long-term&lt;br /&gt;sustainability of the space environment. Given the broad range  of discussion&lt;br /&gt;focusing on space, Rose believes 2012 will be a defining year  for space&lt;br /&gt;security, and the work we all will do in responding to the  challenges of, and&lt;br /&gt;the threats to, the space environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose  believes that this is such a pivotal period, that the United States  has&lt;br /&gt;introduced discussions on the long-term sustainability, stability,  safety, and&lt;br /&gt;security of the space environment in the Group of Eight or G8.  Rose believes&lt;br /&gt;that the G8, which contains a number of major spacefaring  nations, could play a&lt;br /&gt;useful role in this field and will draw further  attention to the importance of&lt;br /&gt;ensuring space for future  generations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty  words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new  dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

If we do not take action, the congestion  in space will&lt;br /&gt;only increase, and we will lose valuable time in solving the  problem. We cannot&lt;br /&gt;let the wide range of opportunities we have to cooperate  now to sustain our use&lt;br /&gt;of space pass us by.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-5149040569168760977?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/5149040569168760977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/hazardous-debris-in-space.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5149040569168760977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5149040569168760977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/hazardous-debris-in-space.html' title='HAZARDOUS DEBRIS IN SPACE'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vXt9eUQ4gn8/T08m7ckd3mI/AAAAAAAAGG0/XJh6FmGg-p0/s72-c/A5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-9138267295000110342</id><published>2012-02-29T22:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-29T22:57:10.320-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PAPADEMOS REJECTS A SHADOW PREMIER</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CwuVyPUmBrY/T08dZwieeEI/AAAAAAAAGGs/xhBRIIO0p4s/s1600/a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="316" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CwuVyPUmBrY/T08dZwieeEI/AAAAAAAAGGs/xhBRIIO0p4s/s320/a1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A European Commissioner should be nominated to help return Greece to  growth,&lt;br /&gt;Eurogroup chief Jean-Claude Juncker told the Economic and Monetary  Affairs&lt;br /&gt;Committee on Wednesday. He also observed that there was scope for  cuts in the&lt;br /&gt;country's military spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Premier Papademos  rejected Juncker's call, because the Greek European&lt;br /&gt;Commissioner will be a  shadow premier! Greece now has two governments, the Task&lt;br /&gt;Force and the ruling  kleptocratic alliance of Pasok and Nea Democratia mafias.&lt;br /&gt;The Task Force,  created by Fourth Reich, is a parallel shadow government of&lt;br /&gt;Greece to monitor  the official government of Greece, which cannot be trusted at&lt;br /&gt;all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  imposes discipline and implementation of the bailout deal. This  means&lt;br /&gt;reforming the pension system, privatizing state companies, abolishing  sinecures,&lt;br /&gt;opening closed-shops professions, reducing political corruption,  abolishing&lt;br /&gt;parliamentary immunity, abolishing kangaroo justice, reducing  licensure, and&lt;br /&gt;abolishing persecution of dissident bloggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover,  military spending brings a reliable flow of kickbacks! The largest&lt;br /&gt;kickbacks  originate in the military industry. Military procurement is a  corrupt&lt;br /&gt;business from top to bottom. The process is dominated by advocacy,  with few&lt;br /&gt;checks and balances. Most people in power love this system of doing  business and&lt;br /&gt;do not want it changed. War and preparation for war  systematically corrupt all&lt;br /&gt;parties to the state-private transactions by which  the government obtains the&lt;br /&gt;bulk of its military products. There is a standard  10% kickback to kleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;for military purchases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participants in  the military-industrial-kleptocrat complex (MIKC) are routinely&lt;br /&gt;blamed for  mismanagement, fraud, abuse, kickbacks, and waste (FAKW). All of&lt;br /&gt;these  unsavory actions, however, are typically viewed as aberrations,&lt;br /&gt;malfeasances  to be covered-up, while retaining the basic system of  state-private&lt;br /&gt;cooperation in the trade of military goods and services and the  flow of&lt;br /&gt;kickbacks. These offenses are in reality expressions of a  thoroughgoing,&lt;br /&gt;intrinsic rottenness in the entire setup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive  issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that  magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths  that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of  your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.

Juncker said he had hoped this would have been the week when  a&lt;br /&gt;decision was taken to boost the European Stability Mechanism's capital, but  the&lt;br /&gt;idea needed to mature further in some countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Greece,  Juncker said the Eurogroup would be keenly awaiting the participation&lt;br /&gt;rate of  private Greek bondholders, which would need to reach 66% for the&lt;br /&gt;collective  action clauses to be activated. But hedge funds, pissed off by  my&lt;br /&gt;persecution, refuse to accept any haircut on Greek government bonds  of&lt;br /&gt;blogbusters. Bondholders are hoodwinked to give up some 100 billion euros  of&lt;br /&gt;their investment in the pseudovoluntary bond swap, but hedge funds will  not&lt;br /&gt;participate, case closed, pure and simple. But ratcheting up pressure on  hedge&lt;br /&gt;funds, Premier Papademos introduced legislation forcing creditors to  take&lt;br /&gt;losses on their holdings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Juncker also stressed that the Greek  government needed to act on the commitments&lt;br /&gt;it had given to ensure that the  second bailout program could become effective,&lt;br /&gt;and at the same time insisted  that it was time to stop humiliating Greece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The European Union aims to  invest 20 billion euros in Greece by 2013 and a Greek&lt;br /&gt;privatization program  is designed to raise another 19 billion by 2015, with&lt;br /&gt;industries from food to  tourism potentially lucrative investment draws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But EU commissioner for  regional policy, Johannes Hahn, says foreign investors&lt;br /&gt;must grapple with  confusing bureaucracy, kleptocracy, 23% VAT, and a legal&lt;br /&gt;system that takes  years to deliver rulings, complicating efforts to revive&lt;br /&gt;economic  growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hahn declares that imposing a European commissioner for Greece is  not the&lt;br /&gt;answer, because Graecokleptocrats have to deliver on their own good  will and&lt;br /&gt;initiative. We cannot have a commissioner imposing laws from above.  We are&lt;br /&gt;talking about the initiatives needed from Graecokleptocrats, about  creating an&lt;br /&gt;investment climate. It's not just about money anymore, it's about  political&lt;br /&gt;corruption, attitude, and the cancer of  socialism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats span the gamut of political corruption.  Bribe is the gift&lt;br /&gt;bestowed to influence the recipient's conduct. Kickback is  a payment to a person&lt;br /&gt;in a position of power or influence for having made an  income possible.&lt;br /&gt;Embezzlement is outright theft of entrusted funds. Patronage  is favoring&lt;br /&gt;supporters. Nepotism is favoring kin. Cronyism is favoring kith.  Graft is an&lt;br /&gt;unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats  have made their culture of corruption the norm of the national&lt;br /&gt;character of  Greece. The debasement of the Greek soul is due to huge political&lt;br /&gt;corruption,  statist propaganda, and religulous brainwashing. Plato and&lt;br /&gt;Aristotle asserted  that different regimes produce different types of human&lt;br /&gt;beings, and regimes  ought to be judged by the character of their citizens. In&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich, the  growth of interventionist welfare state has damaged personal&lt;br /&gt;responsibility  and integrity, fostered dependence, undermined families, rejected&lt;br /&gt;freedom,  and promoted corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Especially in Greece, the most corrupt country  in Occident, political corruption&lt;br /&gt;is accepted as a normal thing, and most  Greeks rely on bribes, graft, sinecures,&lt;br /&gt;cheating, incivility, nepotism,  cronyism, cancer of socialism, jingoism,&lt;br /&gt;iconolatry, perjury, lies, and  kickbacks. The character of modern Greece is the&lt;br /&gt;opposite of the character of  ancient Greece of Plato and Aristotle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece is the queen of political  corruption in Occident. The impunity of the&lt;br /&gt;300 MPs of the Grand Brothel on  Syntagma Square is the most freakish thing on&lt;br /&gt;Earth. Even though  Graecokleptocrats looted many billion euros in kickbacks and&lt;br /&gt;churning, not a  single Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to jail! &lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats are  protected by the parliamentary immunity, and nobody can&lt;br /&gt;touch them, no matter  what. Moreover, they have the nerve to jail dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers. It's a long  way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas! Allons enfants de&lt;br /&gt;la Grece! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael  Christoforakos, former president of the Greek subsidiary of Siemens,&lt;br /&gt;revealed  some names of the 200 Graecokleptocrats, who shared two billion euros&lt;br /&gt;in  kickbacks, to the prosecutor of Munich, where he escaped from Greece. He&lt;br /&gt;also  deposited all names with two public notaries in Munich, in case he  gets&lt;br /&gt;murdered by agents of Graecokleptocrats. This way he stays alive! But  the&lt;br /&gt;Greek government has not pressed charges against the 200  Graecokleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;because they are protected by immunity and they are in  power in Greece, members&lt;br /&gt;and ex-members of the Greek government and  parliament. You just cannot press&lt;br /&gt;charges against yourself! Moreover, the  Greek government does not even reveal&lt;br /&gt;their names for the voters to know who  they are voting for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christoforakos also revealed the names of twenty  journalists who received many&lt;br /&gt;million euros in kickbacks to keep their mouth  shut about the billion euro&lt;br /&gt;kickbacks to the 200 Graecokleptocrats. Needless  to say, those&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats who did not receive kickbacks are also  guilty, because they&lt;br /&gt;all knew about the bribery of their colleagues and said  nothing about it. The&lt;br /&gt;suitcases with the cash were whistling around them.  There is no way they could&lt;br /&gt;not hear all that loud whistling! So, in reality  we are talking about four&lt;br /&gt;hundred guilty people! Since Greeks continue to  vote for the same crooks again&lt;br /&gt;and again, they deserve what they  get!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Robbing&lt;br /&gt;dissident  bloggers and locking them in jail is a freakish behavior that does not&lt;br /&gt;belong  to the European Union, not even to this galaxy! No wonder some vain&lt;br /&gt;Greeks  boast they come from Andromeda galaxy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accusing dissident bloggers of  treason, Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a&lt;br /&gt;blood libel in cyberspace,  which in turn incites hatred and violence.

Putin published a plot  to kill&lt;br /&gt;him by tycoons who fled Putinland, many of them to  Britain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to Putinland, where the president and prime minister  swap jobs at will,&lt;br /&gt;where the constitution is an empty shell and all power  rests with Vladimir&lt;br /&gt;Putin. The deal between Putin and President Dmitry  Medvedev is a farce that will&lt;br /&gt;eventually transform Putinland to Putanaland!  The proud Russian nation is now a&lt;br /&gt;czardom. Russian democracy is gone with the  wind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putin  accuses Occident of inciting Putinlandians against him.  Karl-Theodor&lt;br /&gt;Guttenberg is the Czar of Cyberincitement. He has been appointed  by Neelie Kroes&lt;br /&gt;with specific instructions to cooperate with Hillary Clinton  to use the social&lt;br /&gt;media for Occidental propaganda, especially to incite  people to overthrow their&lt;br /&gt;antioccidental governments. Mission impossible! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Theory of Critical Mass proves that you only need a few  fireflies,&lt;br /&gt;influential people, to reach a critical mass, tipping point, for a  chain&lt;br /&gt;reaction of people. It might take a long time to reach the tipping  point, but&lt;br /&gt;after that point things happen in a very short time, like an  atomic bomb. &lt;br /&gt;Therefore Guttenberg's mission is to find fireflies of  propaganda for a critical&lt;br /&gt;mass of people to propagate Occidental ideas to the  rest of the world. Using&lt;br /&gt;internet as a propaganda tool turns global politics  upside down, but it saves&lt;br /&gt;trillions of dollars in unnecessary  wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This mindless promotion of Occidental culture and Occidental  kleptocracy&lt;br /&gt;alienates the governments targeted and will motivate them to harm  Occident in&lt;br /&gt;some manner. Thousands of young and naive people will die at the  hands of the&lt;br /&gt;regimes they are instigated to overthrow by the  democracy-pushing kleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;all of whom are safe and secure in Washington  and Brussels, inspiring&lt;br /&gt;pseudoheroic vanity. A libertarian  non-interventionist policy will allow&lt;br /&gt;foreigners to work out their political  destiny in their own way and at their own&lt;br /&gt;pace, prevent unnecessary additions  to Occident's growing list of enemies,&lt;br /&gt;prevent the clash of cultures, and  save countless young lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained  in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact,  baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I  look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your  conference.

Opposition leaders are preparing rallies for the day after the&lt;br /&gt;election,  because Putin has not allowed a fair playing field for  opposition&lt;br /&gt;candidates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The intransigence of Vladimir Putin, who is  showing no sign of ceding to&lt;br /&gt;protesters' demands for free and fair elections,  might be just the impetus&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's civil society needs to spur it into  existence. The organizers of&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's protests have gone to great lengths  to avoid violence.&lt;br /&gt;Anti-corruption bloggers appeal to Putinland's liberal  intelligentsia and might&lt;br /&gt;be able to channel rising nationalism in a  constructive direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Czar Putin promotes theocracy to perpetuate his  power. Across Russia, popular&lt;br /&gt;affection for Putin turns to religious worship.  In Putin's hometown of St.&lt;br /&gt;Petersburg, a proliferation of posters show Putin  as an angel, with one hand&lt;br /&gt;extended, blessing the city's inhabitants. Putin's  face is mounted on a photo of&lt;br /&gt;the cherubim crowning the city's Peter and  Paul Cathedral. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There  are churches of Saint Putin in Putinland! Mother Fotina declares&lt;br /&gt;Putin is the  reincarnation of Saint Paul and he has the spirit of a czar in him!&lt;br /&gt;Golden  butterflies and cherubs adorn her homemade altar. Fotina swings a  smoking&lt;br /&gt;censer before an icon of Saint Putin! Mother Fotina believes God has  sent Putin&lt;br /&gt;to Putinland to prepare the world for the second coming of Jesus  Christ!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The electoral game Putin is playing is castling in chess – a  saint and a czar&lt;br /&gt;swapping places, in order to shore up the defense. There  might be defense at the&lt;br /&gt;heart of the strategy, but Putin's ruling party,  United Putinland, is still the&lt;br /&gt;only game in Moscow. Vladimir Putin is the  most powerful man in the world. His&lt;br /&gt;success is all the more venerable when  one considers that Putin is leader of a&lt;br /&gt;country of nearly 150 million people  — and at the helm of the one of the world's&lt;br /&gt;most important  economies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words  of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension  of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Despite  numerous&lt;br /&gt;commitments under international law, the government has tightened  controls on&lt;br /&gt;political life, civil society, and the media. Disruption of  political&lt;br /&gt;opposition's activities, restricting access to state-controlled TV,  human right&lt;br /&gt;violations, such as the beating of demonstrators who support the  Russian&lt;br /&gt;constitution, murder of journalists and anti-corruption activists,  disappearance&lt;br /&gt;and torture, abuse of the legal system for monetary and  political gain, all&lt;br /&gt;illustrate this negative trend.

Reporters Without Borders is disturbed by Morocco's  recent censorship&lt;br /&gt;and attempts to suppress online free expression. "Morocco  has taken the road of&lt;br /&gt;political reform, holding a constitutional referendum  in July and parliamentary&lt;br /&gt;elections in November, but freedom of information  is still limited by the two&lt;br /&gt;notorious red lines – the king and Islam,"  Reporters Without Borders said.&lt;br /&gt;"Without freedom of information, the recent  attempts to democratize Morocco are&lt;br /&gt;doomed. We urge the authorities to apply  the same liberalization approach to the&lt;br /&gt;media as to the political  domain."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walid Bahomane, an 18-year-old blogger, was tried behind closed  doors in Rabat&lt;br /&gt;earlier this month on charges of Internet "piracy" and  "insulting the sacred&lt;br /&gt;values of Morocco and the King" for posting humorous  videos and cartoons,&lt;br /&gt;including a cartoon of the king, on Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lese-majeste  is the crime of violating majesty, an offense against the dignity&lt;br /&gt;of the  president or God. Lese-majeste is now used only in repressed countries,&lt;br /&gt;and  is a sign of stupidity and incivility. The 14th article of the  Constitution&lt;br /&gt;of Greece makes it lese-majeste for the media to insult the  President of Greece&lt;br /&gt;and any religion recognized by the  state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently deciding that the case did not involve free expression,  the court&lt;br /&gt;finally convicted him on the piracy charge alone on 16 February,  sentencing him&lt;br /&gt;to a year in prison and a fine of 10,000 dirhams (1,000  euros).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accusing dissident bloggers of treason, Moroccokleptocrats and  Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;have manufactured a blood libel in cyberspace, which in  turn incites hatred and&lt;br /&gt;violence.

This young blogger is appealing against his conviction but no  date&lt;br /&gt;has been set for a hearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another blogger, Abdelsamad Haydour,  24, was convicted in a summary trial behind&lt;br /&gt;closed doors in the northern city  of Taza on 13 February for criticizing the&lt;br /&gt;king in a video posted on YouTube.  The court sentenced him to three years in&lt;br /&gt;prison and a fine of 10,000 dirhams  on a charge of "attacking the nation's&lt;br /&gt;sacred values."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 4-minute  video, filmed during a demonstration in Taza, Haydour lambasted&lt;br /&gt;the regime  and described the king as a "dog of a dictator." He was not allowed&lt;br /&gt;access to  a lawyer of his choice and the court did not assign one to defend him&lt;br /&gt;during  the trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The freakish governments of Morocco and Greece use charge  stacking to persecute&lt;br /&gt;dissident bloggers. Charge stacking is the ability to  charge a large number of&lt;br /&gt;overlapping crimes for a single course of conduct.  Combining crimes enables&lt;br /&gt;prosecutors to get convictions in cases where there  is no misconduct at all. By&lt;br /&gt;stacking enough charges, including treason,  prosecutors jack up the threat value&lt;br /&gt;of a trial against a dissident blogger,  even if the government's case is very&lt;br /&gt;weak. Charge stacking is terror. The  disgusting governments of Morocco and&lt;br /&gt;Greece cannot terrorize the  people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohamed El Boukili, a member of the Moroccan Human Rights  Association's&lt;br /&gt;administrative committee, told Reporters Without Borders that  irregularities&lt;br /&gt;marked both trials. Both Bahomane and Haydour signed  statements without their&lt;br /&gt;lawyer being present and after being held in custody  and harassed by the police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Such procedures are unfortunately the norm  in Morocco and, in cases involving&lt;br /&gt;the king's sacred status, prosecutions end  only too often in prison sentences,"&lt;br /&gt;El Boukili told Reporters Without  Borders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporters Without Borders has also noted a surge in  pro-government&lt;br /&gt;cyber-activism on the Moroccan Internet. A group calling  itself Kingdom Moroccan&lt;br /&gt;Attack keeps hacking into the Facebook pages and  email accounts of independent&lt;br /&gt;journalists and members of the opposition 20  February Movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pro-government disinformation and propaganda campaigns  are also being waged&lt;br /&gt;online. According to the VoxMaroc blog, some of these  campaigns are being&lt;br /&gt;steered by the cyber-police, who also have very  sophisticated Internet&lt;br /&gt;surveillance tools. One of these is a spy program  provided by the French company&lt;br /&gt;Amesys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective  than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform  your people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency,  self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very  much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much  further.

Fourth Reich should rein in Graecokleptocrats  and kangaroo&lt;br /&gt;judges first before accusing foreign kleptocrats of misconduct.  Clean your own&lt;br /&gt;house first, before opening your mouth about the dirt in other  houses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major  concerns at the human rights situation in Putinland ahead of  Sunday's&lt;br /&gt;presidential election were raised at a human rights subcommittee  hearing on&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday. Representatives of Putinlandian civil society pointed to  the culture of&lt;br /&gt;impunity, restrictions on freedom of expression, gaps in the  rule of law and&lt;br /&gt;possible fraud in the presidential election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  intransigence of Vladimir Putin, who is showing no sign of ceding  to&lt;br /&gt;protesters' demands for free and fair elections, might be just the  impetus&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's civil society needs to spur it into existence. The  organizers of&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's protests have gone to great lengths to avoid  violence.&lt;br /&gt;Anti-corruption bloggers appeal to Putinland's liberal  intelligentsia and might&lt;br /&gt;be able to channel rising nationalism in a  constructive direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Russia has no opportunity to change its leaders  in a democratic way", stated&lt;br /&gt;Evgenia Chirikova. She was worried that the  upcoming presidential election would&lt;br /&gt;not be fair and was concerned for the  safety of protesters. She said the&lt;br /&gt;authorities were treating protesters as if  they were insane, even locking them&lt;br /&gt;up in mental hospitals, and described a  case that she knew about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The electoral game Putin is playing is castling  in chess – a saint and a czar&lt;br /&gt;swapping places, in order to shore up the  defense. There might be defense at the&lt;br /&gt;heart of the strategy, but Putin's  ruling party, United Putinland, is still the&lt;br /&gt;only game in Moscow. Vladimir  Putin is the most powerful man in the world. His&lt;br /&gt;success is all the more  venerable when one considers that Putin is leader of a&lt;br /&gt;country of nearly 150  million people — and at the helm of the one of the world's&lt;br /&gt;most important  economies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but  only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul,  and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to  the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil  Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/purecapitalism/post?postID=7s0biZhq5ozubTZe8LnYd-C8TEakZhIYI1aQ03quNiObwxXerc317i9UodBWkzZgjEFBPGnHSA"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MEPS  voiced doubts about the electoral procedure in Putinland. "The  authorities&lt;br /&gt;did not allow people to stand freely", noted Werner Schulz  (Greens/EFA, DE).&lt;br /&gt;Inese Vaidere (EPP, LV) said: "This regime takes away from  the people the right&lt;br /&gt;to change the power".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current double-headed  eagle of President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister&lt;br /&gt;Vladimir Putin has  become increasingly authoritarian. Despite numerous&lt;br /&gt;commitments under  international law, the government has tightened controls on&lt;br /&gt;political life,  civil society, and the media. Disruption of political&lt;br /&gt;opposition's  activities, restricting access to state-controlled TV, human  right&lt;br /&gt;violations, such as the beating of demonstrators who support the  Russian&lt;br /&gt;constitution, murder of journalists and anti-corruption activists,  disappearance&lt;br /&gt;and torture, abuse of the legal system for monetary and  political gain, all&lt;br /&gt;illustrate this negative trend. Putin, a former penniless  KGB agent, is now&lt;br /&gt;billionaire, thanks to kickbacks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexander  Cherkasov, a council member of the civil rights society Memorial, and&lt;br /&gt;Ella  Kesaeva, co-chair of Voice of Beslan, highlighted the culture of impunity.&lt;br /&gt;Mr  Cherkasov reported that 5,000 civilians had disappeared during the  Chechnya&lt;br /&gt;war and the crimes related to this continued to go unpunished  without being&lt;br /&gt;properly investigated. Ms Kesaeva said the same was true  regarding those&lt;br /&gt;responsible for the Beslan school siege in 2004. "Everyone in  the North Caucasus&lt;br /&gt;now believes that you cannot find justice in the court  rooms", she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putin and his men proudly declare that they have  returned Putinland to&lt;br /&gt;strength. In truth, they have hijacked it. Putinland 's  constitution is little&lt;br /&gt;more than an empty shell that does a poor job of  concealing the neofeudal regime of&lt;br /&gt;Czar Putin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Alexander  Verkhovsky, director of the SOVA Centre for Information and&lt;br /&gt;Analysis, struck  a positive note, with the news that the number of hate crimes&lt;br /&gt;that go  unpunished had fallen since 2008. On the other hand, mass media,&lt;br /&gt;activists  and religious groups are facing numerous problems because of  the&lt;br /&gt;anti-extremist legislation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a big difference between the  Soviet era and today's Putinland. The&lt;br /&gt;Soviet state spread the atmosphere  of fear to prevent emergence of politics and&lt;br /&gt;people's participation in it.  Today, the key for the state authorities is to&lt;br /&gt;make sure people are not  interested in politics. A person who doesn't care about&lt;br /&gt;politics or the  situation with human rights in Putinland may live a comfortable&lt;br /&gt;life without  ever encountering an FSB officer. What suffers the most is&lt;br /&gt;democracy in  Putinland; the Kremlin is interested in stability, not democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Premier&lt;br /&gt;Enda Kenny declares the Irish will be asked for their authorization  in a&lt;br /&gt;referendum to ratify the European stability treaty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats  tried to frame the treaty to avoid the need for a referendum,&lt;br /&gt;which Ireland  has to hold on any major transfer of power to Brussels. But unlike&lt;br /&gt;full EU  treaties this inter-governmental accord does not require unanimity. It&lt;br /&gt;enters  into force once 12 states have ratified it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich was not  initiated on March 25, 1957 in Rome, but on August 10, 1944&lt;br /&gt;in Strasbourg!  Fourth Reich originates from the Red House Report, a detailed&lt;br /&gt;account of a  secret meeting at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg, a couple of&lt;br /&gt;blocks  from today's Eldorado of Prostitutes (EP), on August 10, 1944. There,&lt;br /&gt;Nazi  officials instructed an elite group of German industrialists to plan  for&lt;br /&gt;Germany's post-war recovery, prepare for the Nazis' return to power, and  work&lt;br /&gt;for a strong Fourth Reich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three-page, closely typed report,  marked Secret, copied by British spies and&lt;br /&gt;sent to the US Secretary of State,  detailed how the industrialists were to work&lt;br /&gt;with the Nazi Party to rebuild  Germany's economy by sending money through&lt;br /&gt;Switzerland. They would set up a  network of secret front companies abroad, wait&lt;br /&gt;until conditions were right,  and then grab power with various hoodwinking&lt;br /&gt;treaties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jean Monnet,  founding father of Fourth Reich, says in a letter to a friend on&lt;br /&gt;April 13,  1952: Europe's nations should be guided towards the super-state&lt;br /&gt;without their  people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished&lt;br /&gt;by  successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but  which&lt;br /&gt;will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive  issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that  magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths  that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of  your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kitchencabinetforum/post?postID=nCHdON8uImRGMzimVNgewGy5xBIHqHgSdwU9MFhVoC9IcK3DMbBx4WLfMTH3E5X1kSJiNPea4TY"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  remember this quip from former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel during  the&lt;br /&gt;financial crisis: You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. What  matters&lt;br /&gt;to statists is that they see an opportunity in a pseudocrisis to  shape public&lt;br /&gt;perception and manipulate public opinion. The financial crisis  yielded a&lt;br /&gt;government takeover of the financial sector. The healthcare  pseudocrisis yielded&lt;br /&gt;a government takeover of the healthcare system. What do  you think&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats are going to do with the crisis of PIGS? Venitis  points out&lt;br /&gt;they'd be happy to transform the confederation of Fourth Reich to  a federation. &lt;br /&gt;You should take the blood libel seriously. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There  are events in history known as false flag events. These are staged by  a&lt;br /&gt;government usually to distress the public, so the government can do  something&lt;br /&gt;that the public would otherwise disapprove. The name is derived  from the&lt;br /&gt;military concept of flying false colors; that is flying the flag of  a country&lt;br /&gt;other than one's own. Lyndon Johnson's phony Gulf of Tonkin  pseudoevent started&lt;br /&gt;the Viet Nam War in 1964. This was deemed necessary to  begin a full scale war&lt;br /&gt;with public approval and is now well documented as a  false flag event. It never&lt;br /&gt;happened. Venitis points out that now PIGS are the  false flag to transform the&lt;br /&gt;confederation of Fourth Reich to a  federation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romano Prodi points out Europe has always become stronger  through crises. But&lt;br /&gt;the next Europe will look different. There will be some  states that will&lt;br /&gt;collaborate ever more intensely. And there will be states  that, step by step,&lt;br /&gt;will claim more exceptions for themselves and will be  looking for something like&lt;br /&gt;a Europe a la carte, a multiple speed Europe. The  core of Europe will take more&lt;br /&gt;and more decisions together, while the others  will be more and more on the rim&lt;br /&gt;of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider the European Union  null and void confederation, because Europeans did&lt;br /&gt;not vote for any  constitutional treaty! Eurokleptocrats pulled off the biggest&lt;br /&gt;powergrab in  history by imposing a camouflaged constitution, bypassing all&lt;br /&gt;nonos. The Nazi  dream for Europe was finally fullfilled - ein Volk, ein Reich,&lt;br /&gt;ein Fuehrer -  one people, one empire, one leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lisbon Treaty is  Eurokleptocracy's Pyrrhic victory. It created a&lt;br /&gt;confederation, Fourth Reich,  without a popular foundation. EU lacks legitimacy&lt;br /&gt;among Europeans.  Eurokleptocrats created a situation where the citizens of slave&lt;br /&gt;States live  their lives with a resigned feeling that the EU project is not  their&lt;br /&gt;own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich is an illegal confederation that has no voted  constitution, a flag&lt;br /&gt;no one salutes, an anthem no one sings, a Fuehrer no one  can name, a parliament&lt;br /&gt;of prostitutes, a capital of huge bureaucracy no one  controls, a currency that&lt;br /&gt;soon will not exist, rules of fiscal behavior that  no member has been penalized&lt;br /&gt;for ignoring, a commission which is the Eldorado  of corruption, brutal&lt;br /&gt;cybercops, and kleptocrats galore! Ode to Joy is the  anthem of Fourth Reich. It&lt;br /&gt;is based on the final movement of Beethoven's 9th  Symphony, and it's used&lt;br /&gt;without lyrics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichian  monetary and fiscal unification is the Trojan horse for overall&lt;br /&gt;harmonization  of economic rules, policies, and laws in Fourth Reich. Any&lt;br /&gt;eurozone problem  is interpreted as a consequence of the lack of harmonization&lt;br /&gt;and leads to  another wave of a creeping harmonization. Fuehrer Merkozy&lt;br /&gt;frequently declares  that coordinating tax policies and labor laws is not just&lt;br /&gt;about currency  issues but also about political cooperation, which has to be&lt;br /&gt;deepened. In  other words, more enslavement to Brussels, transforming the&lt;br /&gt;confederation to  a federation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty  words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new  dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil  Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kitchencabinetforum/post?postID=nCHdON8uImRGMzimVNgewGy5xBIHqHgSdwU9MFhVoC9IcK3DMbBx4WLfMTH3E5X1kSJiNPea4TY"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nullification  is the right of a member country of a federation to nullify any&lt;br /&gt;federal law  which that state has deemed unconstitutional. Because the sovereign&lt;br /&gt;countries  formed the federation, they hold the final authority regarding the&lt;br /&gt;limits of  the power of the federal government. The member countries and not the&lt;br /&gt;Federal  Bench are the ultimate interpreters of the extent of the federal&lt;br /&gt;government's  power. Nullification grants the right to secession, by which a&lt;br /&gt;country  terminates its political affiliation with the federation. Fourth  Reich&lt;br /&gt;violates nullification on a consistent basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nullification  declares that member countries of a federation must judge  the&lt;br /&gt;constitutionality of the acts of their agent, the federal government,  since no&lt;br /&gt;impartial arbiter between them exists. When the federal government  exercises a&lt;br /&gt;particularly dangerous power not delegated to it, the countries  must refuse to&lt;br /&gt;allow its enforcement within their borders. Nullification  defies the unexamined&lt;br /&gt;premise of the entire political spectrum, according to  which society must be&lt;br /&gt;organized with a single, irresistible power center  issuing infallible commands&lt;br /&gt;from the top.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-5472891376381480053?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/5472891376381480053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/heroic-irish-will-express-their.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5472891376381480053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5472891376381480053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/heroic-irish-will-express-their.html' title='HEROIC IRISH WILL EXPRESS THEIR INDIGNATION AGAINST FOURTH REICH'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZAsS59klrvM/T03ZWWxRlnI/AAAAAAAAGGM/iJY1Q3gCjR0/s72-c/EU3.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-8298998281025054471</id><published>2012-02-28T22:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-28T22:34:04.973-08:00</updated><title type='text'>TWEETS COULD KILL YOU!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QL2bIMbS1WU/T03Gfz7BvcI/AAAAAAAAGGE/3BuaBqsO--g/s1600/A2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="207" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QL2bIMbS1WU/T03Gfz7BvcI/AAAAAAAAGGE/3BuaBqsO--g/s320/A2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Index on Censorship, Reporters  Without&lt;br /&gt;Borders, La Quadrature du Net, and Global Tax Revolt call for the  protection of&lt;br /&gt;Saudi blogger and journalist Hamza Kashgari, who had fled Saudi  Arabia after&lt;br /&gt;tweets he wrote about the Prophet Mohammed provoked clerics to  demand that he be&lt;br /&gt;tried for apostasy, and members of the public to call for  his murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civil society must persuade the freakish blogbusters of the  enemies of internet&lt;br /&gt;to stop persecuting and robbing dissident bloggers. The  enemies of internet are&lt;br /&gt;Belarus, Burma, China, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, Iran,  North Korea, Saudi Arabia,&lt;br /&gt;Syria, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and  Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EFF points out Kashgari had been a columnist for the  Jeddah-based newspaper Al&lt;br /&gt;Bilad until outrage over the tweets, when Saudi  Minister of Culture and&lt;br /&gt;Information Abdul Aziz Khoja ordered Kashgari not to  write in any Saudi paper or&lt;br /&gt;magazine, an order which Kashgari also posted to  his Twitter account. As outrage&lt;br /&gt;mounted, Kashgari retracted his statements,  deleted his Twitter account,&lt;br /&gt;apologized for the comments, and finally fled  the country in response to&lt;br /&gt;mounting threats on his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accusing  dissident bloggers of treason, Saudokleptocrats and Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;have  manufactured a blood libel in cyberspace, which in turn incites hatred  and&lt;br /&gt;violence. The freakish kangaroo justice government of Greece is the  only&lt;br /&gt;government on Earth which steals the computers of its citizens! Infamous  CCU is&lt;br /&gt;the brutal arm of the kangaroo government of Greece, which terrorizes  the&lt;br /&gt;cyberspace, stealing computers and files at gunpoint, perjuring,  jailing&lt;br /&gt;dissident bloggers, and gagging the truth. The Greek Cyber Crime Unit  (CCU) is&lt;br /&gt;the most disgusting gang in Fourth Reich! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt/post?postID=05aAGq4RpARZkdyH0_YsH7RIc1XL9OYTzOj1WUn8-WKphJsIn-MFuGTNf-dcY8KbigtnVU_ZK-Wa87g"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EFF  laments that upon arriving at the airport in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on  his&lt;br /&gt;way to seek refuge in New Zealand, Kashgari was arrested by security  officials&lt;br /&gt;at the request of the Saudi government. Malaysia and Saudi Arabia  do not have an&lt;br /&gt;extradition treaty, but they do maintain good relations. EFF  was among the many&lt;br /&gt;organizations that called on Malaysian Prime Minister  Najib Tun Razak release&lt;br /&gt;Kashgari from detention and stop extradition  proceedings, reminding the Prime&lt;br /&gt;Minister that Malaysia that as member of the  UN Human Rights Council, his nation&lt;br /&gt;is committed to upholding the highest  human rights standards, which is&lt;br /&gt;inconsistent with allowing Kashgari to be  extradited back to a country where he&lt;br /&gt;faces serious threats to his  life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia, the most corrupt country in Middle East, and Greece,  the most&lt;br /&gt;corrupt country in Occident, have become kangaroo valleys, violating  basic human&lt;br /&gt;rights and Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty, but nobody gives a  damn. I cannot&lt;br /&gt;understand why the European Commission tolerates political  persecution and&lt;br /&gt;freakish Kangaroo Justice within the borders of the European  Union and cannot&lt;br /&gt;refer the Greek government to the Court of Justice of the  European Union. I&lt;br /&gt;cannot understand why the European Commission cannot  protect Greeks from&lt;br /&gt;appalling violations of Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty by  the Greek government. &lt;br /&gt;If the European Union cannot protect Greeks from the  repressive Greek&lt;br /&gt;government, who will? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed  Noor, Kashgari's lawyer in Malaysia, was able to obtain a court order&lt;br /&gt;to  prevent the deportation, but he was not allowed to see his client before  he&lt;br /&gt;was put on a plane and repatriated to Saudi Arabia. Noor told the  Associated&lt;br /&gt;Press: We are concerned that he would not face a fair trail back  home and that&lt;br /&gt;he could face the death penalty if he is charged with  apostasy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The freakish governments of Saudi Arabia and Greece use charge  stacking to&lt;br /&gt;persecute dissident bloggers. Charge stacking is the ability to  charge a large&lt;br /&gt;number of overlapping crimes for a single course of conduct.  Combining crimes&lt;br /&gt;enables prosecutors to get convictions in cases where there  is no misconduct at&lt;br /&gt;all. By stacking enough charges, including treason,  prosecutors jack up the&lt;br /&gt;threat value of a trial against a dissident blogger,  even if the government's&lt;br /&gt;case is very weak. Charge stacking is terror. The  disgusting governmenst of&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia and Greece cannot terrorize the  people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kashgari is now in detention in Saudi Arabia. Several sites and  petitions have&lt;br /&gt;been set up to support him and call for his release. Kashgari  is being&lt;br /&gt;represented by prominent human rights lawyer Abdul-Rahman al-Lahem,  who has&lt;br /&gt;stated that he will push for this case to be argued before a  committee in the&lt;br /&gt;information ministry instead of a Sharia court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even  if Kashgari is not charged with apostasy, a crime with carries the  death&lt;br /&gt;penalty, the blogger and journalist continues to face threats to his  life from&lt;br /&gt;Saudi militants. A Facebook page titled "The Saudi people want the  execution of&lt;br /&gt;Hamza Kashgari," has 30,000 members. EFF asserts that it is not  enough for the&lt;br /&gt;Saudi government to release Kashgari — they must allow him to  leave the country&lt;br /&gt;for his own safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective  than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform  your people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency,  self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very  much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much  further.

France identifies as genocide the Holocaust and  the 1915-1917&lt;br /&gt;Ottoman Empire massacre of Armenians in which 1.5 million  people were killed by&lt;br /&gt;Turks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkey's Article 301 outlaws insulting  Turkishness. The law is used against&lt;br /&gt;Kurds and Armenians, because in the  Kemalist vision that shaped the country,&lt;br /&gt;there are no Kurds or Armenians.  There are only Turks, united in a single vision&lt;br /&gt;and a single story. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.

As&lt;br /&gt;empire  disintegrated, projecting a single vision became important. In this  way,&lt;br /&gt;Turkish denial of the Armenian genocide, the Greek genocide, and the  Cypriot&lt;br /&gt;genocide may be different from Holocaust denial, driven by fierce  nationalism&lt;br /&gt;alone, rather than the combination of nationalism, classic and  modern&lt;br /&gt;anti-Semitism and paranoid conspiracism which drove the  Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But both are driven by distrust of the other, and by seeing  diversity and&lt;br /&gt;cosmopolitanism as stumbling blocks on the path to perfection.  But while the&lt;br /&gt;two may differ, there is no difference in the free speech  argument on laws&lt;br /&gt;covering them. Proscribing speech, whether it confirms or  denies historical&lt;br /&gt;truths, is an offence to history, a barrier to dialogue and  an insult to memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporters Without Borders points out that combating  genocide denial and the&lt;br /&gt;hatred it fuels are obviously necessary and  praiseworthy goals, but they cannot&lt;br /&gt;be achieved at the price of violating the  constitutional principle of free&lt;br /&gt;expression. Turning historical fact into an  unassailable dogma imposed by the&lt;br /&gt;state opens the door to dangerous excesses.  No parliament has been empowered by&lt;br /&gt;a constitution to determine historical  facts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Constitutional Court ruled that the genocide bill would violate  people's&lt;br /&gt;right to freedom of expression. The French parliament had passed the  legislation&lt;br /&gt;in late January. More than 100 parliamentarians contested the  law, out of&lt;br /&gt;concern that it would restrict freedom of expression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many  genocides clamor for attention and if legislators recognize a dozen of  them&lt;br /&gt;tomorrow, historical research will be turned into a minefield. Genocide  denial&lt;br /&gt;is in the process of becoming the new blasphemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporters  Without Borders notes that contrary to another constitutional&lt;br /&gt;principle, the  penalties envisaged by this law are neither necessary nor&lt;br /&gt;proportionate.  Envisaging a prison sentence for abusing freedom of expression&lt;br /&gt;contravenes  the European Convention on Human Rights, the principles of the&lt;br /&gt;Organization  for Security and Cooperation in Europe and other  international&lt;br /&gt;obligations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article 19 organization asserts people must  be free to examine and critically&lt;br /&gt;analyze history in order to learn from our  past mistakes. By banning the&lt;br /&gt;discussion of certain issues and historical  events, society cannot move forward.&lt;br /&gt;Criminalizing free speech is  anti-democratic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty  words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new  dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

VAT has to be&lt;br /&gt;abolished now. The imposition of a VAT is the  precursor to bigger government. It&lt;br /&gt;is simply too easy for kleptocrats to  raise a tax that is hidden from citizens.&lt;br /&gt;VAT is embedded in the final cost  of the goods sold, and is hidden to the&lt;br /&gt;consumer. VAT is applied at every  stage of consumption, from wholesale to&lt;br /&gt;retail. It is passed along until it  literally becomes as much an inherent and&lt;br /&gt;cloaked component in the price as  transportation or raw materials. As a result,&lt;br /&gt;countries that have adopted VAT  have been sorely tempted to raise the rate over&lt;br /&gt;time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When VATs  started out in Europe in the 1960s, they were small, usually less than&lt;br /&gt;5%.  Today, the average VAT rate in Europe is 20%. If your country wants to  join&lt;br /&gt;the European Union, you have to have a minimum VAT rate of 15% so that  people&lt;br /&gt;won't take retail shopping vacations in your cities. Norway, Denmark,  and Sweden&lt;br /&gt;win the dubious award of having the world's highest VAT rate at  25%. This floor&lt;br /&gt;and ceiling of VAT prices is a clear violation of antitrust  laws, price fixing,&lt;br /&gt;pure and simple!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully  explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball  contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

They are traders who use their&lt;br /&gt;power, access,  and privileged information to generate wealth. And at the same&lt;br /&gt;time  well-connected financiers and corporate leaders have made a business  of&lt;br /&gt;politics. They come together to form a kleptocratic  caste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocracy has clearly figured out how to extract wealth from the  rest of us&lt;br /&gt;based solely on their position and proximity to power. If you have  a seat at the&lt;br /&gt;table, you are in for a feast. If you don't have a seat at the  table, you are on&lt;br /&gt;the menu. Throw them all out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso asserts the  Single Market is a huge source of growth and jobs for Europe&lt;br /&gt;and that we have  not yet tapped its full potential. Just implementing fully what&lt;br /&gt;we have  already decided would bring new opportunities for businesses, both big&lt;br /&gt;and  small. That is why the Commission will be reporting on the quality  of&lt;br /&gt;implementation of the Services Directive, on sectoral performance checks  and&lt;br /&gt;will soon make recommendations on implementation and enforcement. In the  second&lt;br /&gt;half of this year the Commission will propose a new round of measures  designed&lt;br /&gt;to open up new growth areas of our Single Market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Barroso  cannot rein the four PIGS. The three largest credit rating agencies&lt;br /&gt;(CRA) –  Moody's, Standard &amp;amp; Poor's, Fitch – are ready to downgrade the four  PIGS&lt;br /&gt;again. PIGS have been spending more than they've earned for decades. But  the&lt;br /&gt;Germans have enjoyed particularly good earnings from the profligacy of  PIGS.&lt;br /&gt;Cohesion policy is a socialistic scheme to rob hard-working Northern  Europeans&lt;br /&gt;to give lazy pigsizens. But Northern Europeans resent supporting  the dolce vita&lt;br /&gt;of pigsizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All pigsizens demand dolce vita, all  evade and avoid taxes, all hate government,&lt;br /&gt;and many respect omerta.  Pigsizens prefer to detach themselves from reality. One&lt;br /&gt;can do that for a  while, but now the capital markets are suggesting those days&lt;br /&gt;are over. Either  you face up to&lt;br /&gt;reality or you will be punished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Northern  Fourthreichians have the strong suspicion that some of their hard work&lt;br /&gt;is  going down the drain with the hundreds of billions that are  currently&lt;br /&gt;disappearing into aid packages and bailout funds for PIGS, lived  well at the&lt;br /&gt;expense of others, and that those who were more careful with  their money are now&lt;br /&gt;expected to swallow the poison that is making its way  northward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What PIGS are experiencing at the moment is a shock and awe.  But it was also&lt;br /&gt;overdue. PIGS are not innocent when it comes to their  decline. But providing&lt;br /&gt;PIGS with extended maturities and lower interest rates  is in no way a true&lt;br /&gt;solution. PIGS need restructured debt in order to have a  little breathing room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Judges at the court describe it as  a&lt;br /&gt;latent constitutional crisis. The government is trying to free itself of  the&lt;br /&gt;restraints imposed on it by the constitution and by the court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  president of the court, Andreas Vosskuehle, muses the perception of his&lt;br /&gt;court  is at present ambivalent in parts. On the one hand, the court had  been&lt;br /&gt;credited for ensuring that European unity remained on a secure legal  and&lt;br /&gt;democratic footing. But on the other hand, it is seen by some as an  obstacle in&lt;br /&gt;overcoming the current crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karlsruhe has just ruled  that Bundestag may not delegate most decisions on&lt;br /&gt;disbursing bailout funds to  a special committee meeting in secret. The Karlsruhe&lt;br /&gt;ruling came a day after  Merkel won Bundestag backing for a second aid program&lt;br /&gt;for Graecokleptocrats  without securing an absolute majority of her own&lt;br /&gt;centre-right deputies, in a  sign of growing public hostility to bailouts.&lt;br /&gt;Seventeen of her 330 lawmakers  rebelled against the package for&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germans are  footing the bill for Greek sins and Greeks aren't doing anything to&lt;br /&gt;stem the  bleeding. Graecokleptocrats are not conscious of their responsibility&lt;br /&gt;for the  difficult situation in Greece. It is a winking game.  Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;pretend like they want to reform, and Eurokleptocrats act  like they believed&lt;br /&gt;them. But now this arrangement has reached its elasticity  point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a case brought by two opposition lawmakers, the Karlsruhe said  a nine-member&lt;br /&gt;sub-committee created to approve urgent action by the bailout  fund was&lt;br /&gt;unconstitutional. Karlsruhe denied the panel any power to authorize  loans or&lt;br /&gt;preventive credit lines to troubled states or for the  recapitalization of banks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greeks, adding insult to injury, continue to  play the victim and to look abroad&lt;br /&gt;for something to blame their own malaise  on. Graecokleptocrats have been&lt;br /&gt;particularly focused on the Germans. Instead  of reaping thanks for all the&lt;br /&gt;transfers of German taxpayer money, Germans are  now forced to put up with a&lt;br /&gt;tongue-lashing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot  be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to  eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and  awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to  speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eurofreedom/post?postID=8MHizTuS4hjNveFWYquHWrpp1Hs3fuO084IqTwePTeE7Je_P-5epQLhOSp0LmxtSyGFdLqZ6Qqk"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Karlsruhe verdict means Bundestag deliberations on future rescue  operations&lt;br /&gt;will be slower and more cumbersome, since the full 41-member  budget committee or&lt;br /&gt;the entire 620-member Bundestag will have to  decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merkel says: It's in my character to be consistent, whether I'm  speaking with&lt;br /&gt;you, with party colleagues, with the Bundesbank or with my  European partners. I&lt;br /&gt;am not duplicitous. That is my advantage. We need more  not less Europe. If euro&lt;br /&gt;fails, Europe fails. The solution of depression lies  in binding Europe closer&lt;br /&gt;together through strict budget  discipline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;German politics, based on consensus and with many inbuilt  checks and balances,&lt;br /&gt;does not encourage bold action. Merkel must constantly  find compromises within&lt;br /&gt;her coalition, with parliament, with regional  governments and with the&lt;br /&gt;constitutional court. All of them are part of the  debate. So too is the German&lt;br /&gt;central bank, the Bundesbank, over which Merkel  has no control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merkel hides a very important fact from Germans. Germany  is never going to get&lt;br /&gt;back the money it lends to Greece, because  Graecokleptocrats plan to withhold&lt;br /&gt;100 billion euros as reparation for a  Second Word War loan! German reparations&lt;br /&gt;is a very hot issue in Greece, and  everybody can predict the climax of the&lt;br /&gt;infamous bailout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the  terms of the peace treaty that was signed in 1990, Germany did not&lt;br /&gt;have to  pay further reparations to other countries for war damages. Greece&lt;br /&gt;accepted  the treaty, although the issue of compensation was periodically raised&lt;br /&gt;by  Graecokleptocrats, mostly to score points in politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if the 476  million reichsmarks lent against its will to Germany by the Greek&lt;br /&gt;National  Bank during the war is not considered damage but a form of a normal&lt;br /&gt;credit,  then Greece would be entitled to get the money back. Without interest,&lt;br /&gt;the  amount in today's money would amount to $14 billion. With interest over  all&lt;br /&gt;these years, the final value exceeds 100 billion euros!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germans  abhor the Nazi dream for Europe - ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer.  The&lt;br /&gt;European project has lost significance among Germany's policy elite as  the&lt;br /&gt;central driver of foreign economic policy. No clear grand strategy has  replaced&lt;br /&gt;this Einbindungspolitik, German foreign policy tenet of engagement.  Given the&lt;br /&gt;heavily-fragmented nature of checks and balances in German  politics, the&lt;br /&gt;political elite seems to be buffeted by a cycling of priorities  from regional&lt;br /&gt;elections to Chancellory infighting. The end result has been a  series of policy&lt;br /&gt;reversals and costly delay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Merkel dislikes putting her foot down to solve government disputes.&lt;br /&gt;She  associates that form of exercising authority with ill-tempered men who  use&lt;br /&gt;arrogance to make up for their lack of competence. Merkel thinks people  who keep&lt;br /&gt;banging their fist on the table end up getting ignored in the long  run. Merkel's&lt;br /&gt;wings have been clipped, and now she faces even bigger problems  ahead.

A border is not&lt;br /&gt;properly a barrier for the purpose of  keeping foreigners out; it is properly a&lt;br /&gt;boundary designating the area in  which the government must protect rights.&lt;br /&gt;Rights-respecting foreigners who  want to cross that boundary in order to enjoy&lt;br /&gt;the relative freedom and  abundant opportunity in a country have a moral right to&lt;br /&gt;do so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  initiative, launched by European Alternatives and Migreurop together with  a&lt;br /&gt;coalition of immigrants' rights groups, is aimed at claiming the right  of&lt;br /&gt;citizens to know what happens in centres where migrants are  held.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Citizens who want to associate with foreigners in rights-respecting  ways,&lt;br /&gt;whether through friendship, romance, recreation, or commerce, have a  moral right&lt;br /&gt;to do so. And citizens who do not want to associate with  foreigners have a moral&lt;br /&gt;right not to associate with them.

If access is&lt;br /&gt;granted, visits should take place between 26 March and  26 April.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open immigration does not mean that anyone may enter the  country at any location&lt;br /&gt;or in any manner he chooses; it is not unchecked or  unmonitored immigration.&lt;br /&gt;Open immigration means that anyone is free to enter  and reside in a country,&lt;br /&gt;providing that he enters at a designated checkpoint  and passes an objective&lt;br /&gt;screening process, the purpose of which is to keep  out criminals, terrorists,&lt;br /&gt;enemies of the country, and people with certain  kinds of contagious diseases.&lt;br /&gt;Such a policy is not only politically right; it  is morally right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs!

European&lt;br /&gt;Stability Mechanism (ESM) is a joke. ESM's finances depend on the  very same&lt;br /&gt;countries that it is supposed to bail out. This isn't stability,  but a Ponzi&lt;br /&gt;scheme! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jens  Weidmann vehemently rejects ongoing demands that ECB embark on an&lt;br /&gt;aggressive  bond-buying program. It's like an alcoholic saying that I need to get&lt;br /&gt;a  bottle tonight, starting tomorrow I will be clean and abide by the rules,  but&lt;br /&gt;I need the bottle tonight. Weidmann doesn't think it is sensible to give  the&lt;br /&gt;alcoholic the bottle. The alcoholic won't have an incentive to solve  the&lt;br /&gt;problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post,  but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my  soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look  forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.  Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=i7PU-CGvnc-aCZtpX4_HF-1_yM5scuQPOr7Ed9JDHj8OP_qFkKhEfcxdyRIFcvuTIzQjxDYh93qu1w"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ECB  told Venizelos to take the Greek bonds and shove them! The Governing&lt;br /&gt;Council  of the European Central Bank (ECB) has decided to temporarily suspend&lt;br /&gt;the  eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed  by&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats for use as collateral in Eurosystem monetary  policy&lt;br /&gt;operations. This decision takes into account the rating of Greece as a  result of&lt;br /&gt;the launch of the private sector involvement offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Banks in  PIGS have unloaded risks amounting to one trillion euros with central&lt;br /&gt;banks.  The central banks have distributed large sums to their countries'&lt;br /&gt;financial  institutions to prevent them from collapsing. They have accepted&lt;br /&gt;securities  as collateral, many of which are garbage. These risks are now on&lt;br /&gt;ECB's books,  because the central banks of eurozone are not autonomous but, part&lt;br /&gt;of the ECB  system. When banks in PIGS go bankrupt and their securities are&lt;br /&gt;garbage, the  euro countries must collectively account for the loss. Bundesbank,&lt;br /&gt;provides  one third of the ECB's capital, which means that it would have to pay&lt;br /&gt;one  third of all losses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At  the same time, the Governing Council decided that the liquidity needs  of&lt;br /&gt;affected Eurosystem counterparties can be satisfied by the relevant  national&lt;br /&gt;central banks, in line with relevant Eurosystem arrangements  (emergency&lt;br /&gt;liquidity assistance).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The euro has been rescued for the  moment, but Eurokleptocrats have thrown the&lt;br /&gt;foundations of Fourth Reich's  common currency overboard with their unprecedented&lt;br /&gt;bailout package. In the  longer term, the dangers of the crisis can only&lt;br /&gt;increase, and the flood of  billions of euros will lead to inflation. &lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats have thrown  overboard all the noble principles and promises of&lt;br /&gt;the formal, tough  treaty-based foundations for the introduction of the euro and&lt;br /&gt;the  independence of the European Central Bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marketable debt instruments  issued or fully guaranteed by Graecokleptocrats will&lt;br /&gt;become in principle  eligible upon activation of the collateral enhancement&lt;br /&gt;scheme agreed by  premiers of eurozone on July 21, 2011, and confirmed on October&lt;br /&gt;26, 2011,  together with a number of other measures aimed at assisting&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats  in their adjustment program. This is expected to take place by&lt;br /&gt;mid-March  2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play misty for me! Central banks play a confidence game with us. A  confidence&lt;br /&gt;game is defined as an attempt to defraud a person or group by  gaining their&lt;br /&gt;confidence. The victim is known as the mark, the trickster is  called a&lt;br /&gt;confidence man, and any accomplices are known as shills. Confidence  men exploit&lt;br /&gt;human characteristics such as greed, vanity, honesty, compassion,  credulity, and&lt;br /&gt;naivete. The common factor is that the mark relies on the good  faith of the&lt;br /&gt;confidence man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Central bank's mission to instill  confidence in us about the economy while&lt;br /&gt;simultaneously instilling confidence  in us about the abilities of the central&lt;br /&gt;bank itself. Central bankers are  almost always publically bullish and hardly&lt;br /&gt;ever publically bearish about the  economy. The economy always looks good, if not&lt;br /&gt;great. If there are some  problems, don't worry, the Fed will come to the rescue&lt;br /&gt;with truckloads of  money, lower interest rates, and easy credit. If things were&lt;br /&gt;to get worse,  which they won't, the Fed would be able to respond with monetary&lt;br /&gt;weapons of  mass stimulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Central bankers are the people who said that there was  no housing bubble, that&lt;br /&gt;there was no danger of financial crisis, and then  that a financial crisis would&lt;br /&gt;not impact the real economy. These are the same  people who said they needed a&lt;br /&gt;multitrillion dollar bailout of the financial  industry, or we would get severe&lt;br /&gt;trouble in the economy. They got their  bailout, and we got the severe trouble&lt;br /&gt;anyways. It is time to bring this  game, this confidence game, to an end. &lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=i7PU-CGvnc-aCZtpX4_HF-1_yM5scuQPOr7Ed9JDHj8OP_qFkKhEfcxdyRIFcvuTIzQjxDYh93qu1w"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Central  bank's artificial creation of credit is the culprit in the business&lt;br /&gt;cycle. As  the boom turns into bust, the economy tries to readjust itself into  a&lt;br /&gt;configuration that conforms to consumer preferences. That is why it is  so&lt;br /&gt;essential for government to stay entirely out of the adjustment process,  because&lt;br /&gt;arbitrary government behavior can only delay this necessary and  healthy process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Central banks must be abolished. Money needs to be  defined by the government,&lt;br /&gt;perhaps as a quantity of gold as in the past, a  basket of commodities, or&lt;br /&gt;something else in order to make payments and  collect taxes. Once money is&lt;br /&gt;defined, the private sector is perfectly capable  of creating the necessary&lt;br /&gt;quantity of money, as it did before the advent of  central banks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-4944931985697661672?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/4944931985697661672/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/ecb-rejects-greek-bonds-play-misty-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/4944931985697661672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/4944931985697661672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/ecb-rejects-greek-bonds-play-misty-for.html' title='ECB REJECTS GREEK BONDS!

The petition had been signed  by almost 2.5&lt;br /&gt;million people from all over the world. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EFF  muses that if there's one thing that encapsulates what's wrong with the  way&lt;br /&gt;government functions today, ACTA is it. You wouldn't know it from the  name, but&lt;br /&gt;the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is a plurilateral agreement  designed to&lt;br /&gt;broaden and extend existing intellectual property enforcement  laws to the&lt;br /&gt;Internet. While it was only negotiated between a few countries,  it has global&lt;br /&gt;consequences. First because it will create new rules for the  Internet, and&lt;br /&gt;second, because its standards will be applied to other  countries through the&lt;br /&gt;U.S.'s annual Special 301 process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Receiving a  petition supported by more than 2 million people places an even&lt;br /&gt;bigger  responsibility on us to listen to the European people and offer them a&lt;br /&gt;place  to express their views to the European institutions, said Petitions&lt;br /&gt;Committee  chair Eminia Mazzoni (EPP, IT), after the petition was  presented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negotiated in secret, ACTA bypassed checks and balances of  existing&lt;br /&gt;international intellectual property norm-setting bodies, without any  meaningful&lt;br /&gt;input from national parliaments, policymakers, or their citizens.  Worse still,&lt;br /&gt;the agreement creates a new global institution, an ACTA  Committee to oversee its&lt;br /&gt;implementation and interpretation that will be made  up of unelected members with&lt;br /&gt;no legal obligation to be transparent in their  proceedings. Both in substance&lt;br /&gt;and in process, ACTA embodies an outdated  top-down, arbitrary approach to&lt;br /&gt;government that is out of step with modern  notions of participatory democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully  explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball  contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

The Petitions  Committee will&lt;br /&gt;decide in the coming weeks how the petition is to be followed  up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Philippe Aigrain of La Quadrature du Net points out ACTA was  initiated and&lt;br /&gt;negotiated outside of democratic forums. Its vague wording,  when interpreted in&lt;br /&gt;light of other ongoing initiatives, leaves no doubt that  ACTA is meant to turn&lt;br /&gt;Internet intermediaries into a private copyright  police. Even worse, it will&lt;br /&gt;install a terrible irreversibility in our broken  copyright regime and prevent&lt;br /&gt;its needed reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The petition was  presented by Alex Wilks, Pascal Vollenweider and Anne Agius, on&lt;br /&gt;behalf of  Avaaz, an organisation which uses the Internet to campaign on various&lt;br /&gt;issues.  It calls on the European Parliament to stand for a free and open&lt;br /&gt;Internet and  reject the ratification of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement&lt;br /&gt;(ACTA),  which would destroy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremie Zimmermann of La Quadrature du Net  asserts that members of the European&lt;br /&gt;Parliament must resist the EU  Commission's strategy to buy time and to turn the&lt;br /&gt;debate into a mere legal  discussion, and must keep on working towards the&lt;br /&gt;rejection of ACTA, which  aims to impose a global trend in policy-making that is&lt;br /&gt;toxic for a free  Internet and for freedoms. The European Parliament is the only&lt;br /&gt;safeguard  left, and it must act and take a clear and strong position, or it will&lt;br /&gt;let  the Commission have its way towards imposing unacceptable repression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Petitions Committee will decide on the petition's admissibility at its  next&lt;br /&gt;meeting, on 19-20 March. If the petition is declared admissible (i.e. if  it&lt;br /&gt;falls within the EU's sphere of competence), the committee will then hold  an&lt;br /&gt;open discussion with the petitioners, experts, the European Commission and  other&lt;br /&gt;stakeholders. This would contribute to the public debate officially  launched in&lt;br /&gt;the European Parliament this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more  effective than smart bombs!

For example, a keptocrat  might&lt;br /&gt;travel to Greece, claiming to attend a conference there, but leaving  plenty of&lt;br /&gt;days to explore the Greek islands and Greek delights at leisure.  &lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats,  accompanied by their kith and kin, are going to junkets because&lt;br /&gt;they cannot  miss a good party at taxpayers' expense. The worst thing that could&lt;br /&gt;happen in  a junket is running out of caviar and hookers. Many junketeers use&lt;br /&gt;military  jets that cost 10,000 euros per hour! Deputies of the European&lt;br /&gt;Parliament  (EP), aka Eldorado of Prostitutes, love junkets!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EP Vice-President Othmar  Karas (EPP, Austria) called at the weekend for&lt;br /&gt;parliaments to be involved in  global decision-making and strengthening the&lt;br /&gt;global financial system. At a  junket of parliamentary speakers of the Group of&lt;br /&gt;Twenty countries in Riyadh,  he said the G20 is dominated by governments but&lt;br /&gt;bringing parliamentarians  into the mix can add a new dimension. Parliaments must&lt;br /&gt;have their say in the  run-up to the G20 Summit in June, which will focus on the&lt;br /&gt;international  financial system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Global junkets of kleptocrats fail to live up to the  hype and the promises made.&lt;br /&gt;A lot of money is spent laying them on. Host  cities are disrupted for days or&lt;br /&gt;even weeks. The cavalcades roll into town.  Good intentions are shared in&lt;br /&gt;productive talks. Then, somehow, those  intentions rarely seem to come to&lt;br /&gt;fruition in real, tangible global action.  When kleptocrats meet again a year&lt;br /&gt;later, they find things haven't really  moved on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When kleptocrats meet each other on junkets, they exchange  gifts paid by their&lt;br /&gt;taxpayers. The most expensive gifts, and secret cash  under the table, are&lt;br /&gt;given by the Royal House of Saudi Arabia. That's why so  many Eurokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;are eager to meet the Saudi princes! The ridiculous  awarding of medals among&lt;br /&gt;politicians should be banned. It insults the  intelligence of citizens. Medal&lt;br /&gt;swapping is as disgusting as wife swapping!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalismos/post?postID=s3izTAjuj0BHifAIvkqxxHBgYICdfYJ1wVxVj9EP9ci0qoTmFHc2duGQW0Dl_nsp-1mluPwtB6MbmWOy"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  European Parliament speaks for 500 million citizens in the EU, which plays  a&lt;br /&gt;key role in the world economy and in implementing global agreements and  stands&lt;br /&gt;to gain from engaging with the emerging economies, which must also  shoulder&lt;br /&gt;their responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G20 junkets are waste of money and  time. Each G20 junket costs more than two&lt;br /&gt;billion euros, squandering the  taxpayers' hard-earned money. G20 represents 90&lt;br /&gt;percent of global GDP, 80  percent of world trade, and 70 percent of the global&lt;br /&gt;population, including  key kleptocracies such as BRICS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats have transformed politics to  trade. They are traders who use their&lt;br /&gt;power, access, and privileged  information to generate wealth. And at the same&lt;br /&gt;time well-connected  financiers and corporate leaders have made a business of&lt;br /&gt;politics. They come  together to form a kleptocratic caste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G20 is far more inclusive and  representative than G8, which the G20 has largely&lt;br /&gt;displaced, and more than  adequate to make agreements to act collectively&lt;br /&gt;credible and effective. The  issues on G20's burgeoning agenda are critical&lt;br /&gt;global problems, and solutions  may indeed be fundamental to sustainable,&lt;br /&gt;balanced and inclusive growth in  the long term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Othmar Karas, who represented EP President Martin Schulz  at the G20 Speakers&lt;br /&gt;Consultation junket, said: "Today is the third time that  we speakers have met.&lt;br /&gt;We can be proud of our achievements. But now it is time  to raise the stakes." &lt;br /&gt;He pointed to the engagement of the parliaments of the  emerging countries in the&lt;br /&gt;G20, particularly the BRICS (Brazil. Russia, India  and China): "The speaker of&lt;br /&gt;the Brazilian congress told me that he considers  participation in the global&lt;br /&gt;dialogue as a condition for the continuation of  growth in his country. But it is&lt;br /&gt;not different for the EU and its Member  States! I am more than ever convinced&lt;br /&gt;that we should engage more with  emerging countries. It is vital for the future&lt;br /&gt;of Europe."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two  main threats to G20's effectiveness are political corruption and lack  of&lt;br /&gt;domestic legitimacy within member kleptocracies. G20 is widely perceived  by hoi&lt;br /&gt;polloi as transnational corrupt elites hatching plans behind closed  doors in&lt;br /&gt;insulated centers of kleptocracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocracy has clearly  figured out how to extract wealth from the rest of us&lt;br /&gt;based solely on their  position and proximity to power. If you have a seat at the&lt;br /&gt;table, you are in  for a feast. If you don't have a seat at the table, you are on&lt;br /&gt;the menu.  Throw them all out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without genuine ex ante engagement to build trust and  support with diverse&lt;br /&gt;domestic constituencies — labor, business, civil  society, bloggers, and the&lt;br /&gt;members of parliaments that purportedly represent  these different interests —&lt;br /&gt;kleptocrats will never have the space within the  G20 to negotiate meaningful&lt;br /&gt;agreements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karas chaired a panel  discussion on the sovereign debt crisis and its impact on&lt;br /&gt;the world economy.  He presented the EU's response to the crisis, outlining the&lt;br /&gt;economic  governance legislation passed by the EP and the Council last year and&lt;br /&gt;the  work of the EP's special committee on the financial, economic and  social&lt;br /&gt;crisis, which he chaired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats go to G20 junkets with  their hands tied, their positions determined&lt;br /&gt;in advance by their governments  and a formal script that precludes meaningful&lt;br /&gt;and creative compromises. And  the problem only increases once kleptocrats leave&lt;br /&gt;summits to return  home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillary Clinton points out there is an undeniable connection  between how a&lt;br /&gt;government operates and whether its people flourish. When a  government invites&lt;br /&gt;its people to participate, when it is open as to how it  makes decisions and&lt;br /&gt;allocates resources, when it administers justice equally  and transparently, and&lt;br /&gt;when it takes a firm stance against corruption of all  kinds, that government is,&lt;br /&gt;in the modern world, far more likely to succeed in  designing and implementing&lt;br /&gt;effective policies and services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also  more likely to harness the talents of its own people and to benefit&lt;br /&gt;from  their ideas and experiences, and it is also more likely to succeed&lt;br /&gt;investing  its resources where they are most likely to have the best return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bound  internationally by public commitments, but without the ability to get&lt;br /&gt;those  agendas enacted at home, the effective implementation of commitments is&lt;br /&gt;even  weaker than the ability of kleptocrats to forge meaningful agreements in&lt;br /&gt;the  first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karas stressed that: "Only cooperation on a global scale and  real economic&lt;br /&gt;governance will prevent further economic recessions and their  potentially&lt;br /&gt;disastrous effects. It is not only the well-being of developed  countries that is&lt;br /&gt;at stake. The risks are also real for poorer populations –  in developing and&lt;br /&gt;industrialised countries. New emerging economies will have  to realize that their&lt;br /&gt;new position will come with new burdens. The two go  hand-in-hand. Refusing to&lt;br /&gt;resolve global imbalances will prove a dangerous  choice, because it assumes that&lt;br /&gt;the crisis cannot go any further than it  has".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To increase its legitimacy and its effectiveness, G20 needs to  fight political&lt;br /&gt;corruption and improve transparency and accountability to the  diverse&lt;br /&gt;constituencies that are ultimately impacted by the deals kleptocrats  cut behind&lt;br /&gt;closed doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G20 as a kleptocratic body, and G20 member  kleptocracies individually, need to&lt;br /&gt;develop stronger mechanisms to seek  meaningful input and build consensus from&lt;br /&gt;the bewildered hoi polloi that  ultimately must live with the consequences of&lt;br /&gt;kleptocrats' choices,  corruption, and trade-offs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G20 will only continue to matter if it can  prove itself capable of effectively&lt;br /&gt;confronting the threats most existential  to people's livelihoods, especially&lt;br /&gt;political corruption, huge taxation, huge  regulation, huge bureaucracy,&lt;br /&gt;persecution of dissident bloggers, and the  cancer of socialism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs!  Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a  new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Under the deal,&lt;br /&gt;bondholders will take losses of 53.5  percent on the nominal value of their Greek&lt;br /&gt;holdings, with actual losses put  at around 74 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S&amp;amp;P  declares that if enough bondholders did not accept the bond swap  offer,&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats would face an imminent outright payment default.  Hedge funds,&lt;br /&gt;pissed off by my persecution, refuse to accept any haircut on  Greek government&lt;br /&gt;bonds of blogbusters. Bondholders are hoodwinked to give up  some 100 billion&lt;br /&gt;euros of their investment in the pseudovoluntary bond swap,  but hedge funds will&lt;br /&gt;not participate, case closed, pure and simple. But  ratcheting up pressure on&lt;br /&gt;hedge funds, Premier Papademos introduced  legislation forcing creditors to&lt;br /&gt;take losses on their holdings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One  way to force hedge funds came by way of the Grand Brothel on Syntagma&lt;br /&gt;Square.  It passed legislation forcing private lenders to accept a debt&lt;br /&gt;reduction.  Fourth Reich and IMF were desperate to avoid passage of such a law,&lt;br /&gt;which is  a declaration of a disorderly default.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully  explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball  contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.  That's why I look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at  your conference.

The Greek&lt;br /&gt;economy does not  need haircuts, but taxcuts, and banks cannot participate&lt;br /&gt;voluntarily in  illegal acts, such as fiduciary imprudency. Bank directors are&lt;br /&gt;committed to  bank's welfare, and not the public interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If bankers waive outstanding  debts at the expense of the bank, this is a breach&lt;br /&gt;of trust and punishable by  law. All those bankers, that IIF claims plan to&lt;br /&gt;participate in rollovers,  might go to jail for violating the fiduciary duty of&lt;br /&gt;prudency! The kangaroo  justice government of Greece, the most corrupt country&lt;br /&gt;in Occident, pressures  the banks to participate, but it really opens Pandora's&lt;br /&gt;box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece  now has two governments, the Task Force and the ruling kleptocratic&lt;br /&gt;alliance  of Pasok and Nea Democratia mafias. The Task Force, created by Fourth&lt;br /&gt;Reich,  is a parallel shadow government of Greece to monitor the official&lt;br /&gt;government  of Greece, which cannot be trusted at all! It imposes discipline  and&lt;br /&gt;implementation of the bailout deal. This means reforming the pension  system,&lt;br /&gt;privatizing state companies, abolishing sinecures, opening  closed-shops&lt;br /&gt;professions, reducing political corruption, abolishing  parliamentary immunity,&lt;br /&gt;abolishing kangaroo justice, reducing licensure, and  abolishing persecution of&lt;br /&gt;dissident bloggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more  effective than smart bombs!

A total of  496&lt;br /&gt;MPs voted in favor of the package, with 90 against and 5  abstentions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germans are footing the bill for Greek sins and Greeks  aren't doing anything to&lt;br /&gt;stem the bleeding. Graecokleptocrats are not  conscious of their responsibility&lt;br /&gt;for the difficult situation in Greece. It  is a winking game. Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;pretend like they want to reform, and  Eurokleptocrats act like they believed&lt;br /&gt;them. But now this arrangement has  reached its elasticity point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merkel had conceded that there was no 100%  guarantee that the rescue would&lt;br /&gt;succeed, but said the potential benefits  outweighed the risks. Merkel said&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich will fail if the euro fails,  and Fourth Reich wins if the euro&lt;br /&gt;wins, hoodwinking her mantra that the euro  zone must be kept intact despite&lt;br /&gt;signs that her coalition knows Greece cannot  be rescued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but  only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul,  and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

Germany is never going to get&lt;br /&gt;back  the money it lends to Greece, because Graecokleptocrats plan to withhold&lt;br /&gt;100  billion euros as reparation for a Second Word War loan! German reparations&lt;br /&gt;is  a very hot issue in Greece, and everybody can predict the climax of  the&lt;br /&gt;infamous bailout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the terms of the peace treaty that was  signed in 1990, Germany did not&lt;br /&gt;have to pay further reparations to other  countries for war damages. Greece&lt;br /&gt;accepted the treaty, although the issue of  compensation was periodically raised&lt;br /&gt;by Graecokleptocrats, mostly to score  points in politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if the 476 million reichsmarks lent against its  will to Germany by the Greek&lt;br /&gt;National Bank during the war is not considered  damage but a form of a normal&lt;br /&gt;credit, then Greece would be entitled to get  the money back. Without interest,&lt;br /&gt;the amount in today's money would amount to  $14 billion. With interest over all&lt;br /&gt;these years, the final value exceeds 100  billion euros!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats have a long history of promising reforms  and not delivering,&lt;br /&gt;and this time is no different. After decades of using  public services as&lt;br /&gt;political spoils, Graecokleptocrats must also take on the  corruption and&lt;br /&gt;inefficiency they fostered before they can implement the  reforms that creditors&lt;br /&gt;demand before releasing further funds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merkel  told MPs it would be irresponsible to abandon Graecokleptocrats now,&lt;br /&gt;because  the risks entailed in not helping Greece were incalculable. Merkel said:&lt;br /&gt;I  must sometimes take risks, but I mustn't enter into adventures, my oath  of&lt;br /&gt;office forbids me to do that. Every member state bears responsibility  for&lt;br /&gt;itself, but also for the entire euro zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats'  program is already hopelessly behind schedule, in terms of&lt;br /&gt;both the sale of  government property and the agreed reforms. Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;do many stupid  things, such as persecuting dissident bloggers! It's like&lt;br /&gt;dealing with  children that constantly have to be told to clean up their rooms.&lt;br /&gt;Troika is  very angry. Everyone is irritated over the lack of progress and&lt;br /&gt;unbelievable  stupidity of Graecokleptocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart  bombs!

G20 rebuffed pleas for  additional funding&lt;br /&gt;through IMF until eurozone first ratchets up its own  resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is high time to bring an end to the Greek tragicomedy of  blogbusters.&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats continue to negotiate as if things are  business as usual, they&lt;br /&gt;let one final ultimatum after the other pass, and  they persistently fail to&lt;br /&gt;realize that their discussions have started to  verge on the absurd. It would be&lt;br /&gt;a lot better to end this farce. The Greek  economy is shrinking faster than&lt;br /&gt;assumed. Rescuers on both sides of the  negotiating table should try being&lt;br /&gt;honest for a change. If Graecokleptocrats  are to lastingly reduce the mountain&lt;br /&gt;of debt, Greece needs to go bankrupt  now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-5901292848685726911?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/5901292848685726911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/bundestag-and-german-people-lock-horns.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5901292848685726911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5901292848685726911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/bundestag-and-german-people-lock-horns.html' title='BUNDESTAG AND GERMAN PEOPLE LOCK HORNS'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--F6RgBML8Z8/T0vQ9PAMF0I/AAAAAAAAGE0/KfF563DNO2E/s72-c/a3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-6292350603807012237</id><published>2012-02-27T09:27:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-27T09:28:32.918-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MURDOCH'S RUSSIAN NESTING DOLL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BSszCvaMogc/T0u8XjMoM8I/AAAAAAAAGEk/X344dQB9FkE/s1600/A1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BSszCvaMogc/T0u8XjMoM8I/AAAAAAAAGEk/X344dQB9FkE/s320/A1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1jUXHGTgq-A/T0u8eBmIPkI/AAAAAAAAGEs/SsCxgpj8DZo/s1600/Murdoch1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="238" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1jUXHGTgq-A/T0u8eBmIPkI/AAAAAAAAGEs/SsCxgpj8DZo/s320/Murdoch1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media moguls are often right; that's how they got to be moguls. But  many&lt;br /&gt;companies today operate like Russian nesting dolls, where one large  figure is&lt;br /&gt;actually made up of many smaller ones. These organizations present  a unified&lt;br /&gt;face to the outside world, but rely heavily on other, usually  smaller, companies&lt;br /&gt;or external individuals to conduct many of their  activities. That's exactly the&lt;br /&gt;Achilles Heel of media moguls! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journalists  at News of the World hired people outside the company to illegally&lt;br /&gt;hack into  the phones of select individuals. That these hackers seem not to be&lt;br /&gt;News of  the World employees illustrates the Russian nesting doll model,  which&lt;br /&gt;contains the seeds of moral hazard, since it allows for the  plausibility of&lt;br /&gt;denial. While we readily recognize such a hazard in the food  and apparel&lt;br /&gt;industries and the need to secure all elements of their  production chain, most&lt;br /&gt;other industries have yet to recognize such a  hazard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marta Cooper of Index on Censorship reports Sue Akers told the  Leveson Inquiry&lt;br /&gt;this morning that Operation Elveden has revealed there was a  culture at the Sun&lt;br /&gt;of illegal payments while hiding the identity of the  officials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rupert Murdoch has entrusted the Management and Standards  Committee (MSC) to&lt;br /&gt;investigate the details of phone-hacking and police  bribery by his London&lt;br /&gt;tabloids and prevent such events from happening again.  News International&lt;br /&gt;journalists are furious at MSC. When an insider had  described the MSC's work as&lt;br /&gt;draining the swamp, tempers flared. Journalists  ask: What do they mean drain the&lt;br /&gt;swamp? Are they saying we're a bunch of  filthy insects?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Discussing the recent arrests of journalists at the  tabloid over alleged&lt;br /&gt;improper payments, Akers said that payments to sources  were openly referred to&lt;br /&gt;within the Sun, and that one official has been paid  more than £80,000 over a&lt;br /&gt;number of years, while another journalist received  £150,000 over a period to pay&lt;br /&gt;a source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A media mogul controls his  company. His company controls much of a market. He&lt;br /&gt;hungers for influence in  politics and society. He lusts for attention. He is&lt;br /&gt;narcissistic and vane. He  knows only his strengths, but not his weaknesses. He&lt;br /&gt;inspires endless  anecdotes about his ego. Omerta galore! Murdoch, Maxwell, and&lt;br /&gt;the Hearsts,  when they still managed, fit those criteria. Rupert Murdoch is the&lt;br /&gt;last media  mogul, a breed nesting dolls are responsible for killing in an act  of&lt;br /&gt;mogulcide!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post,  but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my  soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look  forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.  Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/athenians/post?postID=HpQNOySV6bvuoIusxLwR0zoCP6JbkFjN_KBZMGaX8UIWr5v3Zip_S_OPhP9C8VMttPONJE8C8H0G"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Akers  said Operation Elveden, which investigates payments to police  officers,&lt;br /&gt;revealed a network of corrupt officials, and that payments were  made not only to&lt;br /&gt;police officers but wide range of public officials across  the military, prisons,&lt;br /&gt;police and health departments. Akers added that were  was a tradecraft of hiding&lt;br /&gt;cash payments by making them to a source's friend  or relative, a practice that&lt;br /&gt;was authorised at a senior level at the  paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The majority of payments she had seen evidence of had led to  articles that were&lt;br /&gt;salacious gossip rather than anything that could regarded  as remotely in the&lt;br /&gt;public interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media moguls are soon to be  extinct, for many reasons. Media institutions' lock&lt;br /&gt;on content creation and  distribution is over. The risk and cost of starting new,&lt;br /&gt;large-scale media  properties is too great. Control of scarcity in closed markets&lt;br /&gt;led to moguls'  and conglomerates' consolidation; now, in an abundant economy,&lt;br /&gt;what used to  be their assets are now their liabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a dramatic morning, Inquiry  counsel Robert Jay discussed an email from&lt;br /&gt;ex-News International legal  manager Tom Crone to former News of the World editor&lt;br /&gt;Andy Coulson, which  revealed that Coulson was told in 2006 that there were over&lt;br /&gt;£1 million of  payments to private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, and that Mulcaire&lt;br /&gt;had hacked  hundreds of phones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The email, based on a briefing that Crone had been  told by then Sun editor&lt;br /&gt;Rebekah Brooks, showed that Brooks was aware the  police had found evidence of&lt;br /&gt;News International's payments to Mulcaire, and  that police had asked her whether&lt;br /&gt;she wanted to take the investigation  further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was revealed that after the 2006 arrest of Mulcaire and  former News of the&lt;br /&gt;World royal reporter Clive Goodman, the police realised  that there were hundreds&lt;br /&gt;of individuals who had been targeted for hacking,  yet argued that&lt;br /&gt;counter-terrorism was more important than investigating the  practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his opening remarks, Jay said the relationship between News  International and&lt;br /&gt;the Metropolitan police was at best inappropriately close,  and if not actually&lt;br /&gt;corrupt, very close to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that there was  an obvious risk when two powerful organisations come&lt;br /&gt;into contact, arguing  that there was scope for self-interest and that it does&lt;br /&gt;not take many rotten  apples to undermine the whole body politic. Jay cited that&lt;br /&gt;risks might  include off the record briefings with an obvious lack of&lt;br /&gt;transparency and the  attribution of stories to police sources who may not in&lt;br /&gt;fact be police  sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the media business, news items require fair and secure  sourcing, despite the&lt;br /&gt;fact that a freelancer small doll may be crafting the  story. But at the&lt;br /&gt;News of the World, the people who were asked to hack the  phones were apparently&lt;br /&gt;hired by journalists, but were not journalists  themselves. Omerta galore! This&lt;br /&gt;gave them the freedom to obey norms different  from those of their employers.&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, journalists are not supposed  to act illegally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you could see Murdoch's advantage and  disadvantage. He let his trusted&lt;br /&gt;managers do as they pleased, but they tried  to please him. That's the argument&lt;br /&gt;in favor of his direct culpability in the  hacking scandal. He fostered a&lt;br /&gt;seat-of-the-pants culture where people didn't  have to be told to go too far,&lt;br /&gt;where, as he demonstrated before Parliament,  the Murdochs themselves do not take&lt;br /&gt;responsibility. Omerta galore! But that's  over now. Murdoch has lost the&lt;br /&gt;influence his newspapers gave him. He may lose  control of his company. His heirs&lt;br /&gt;will not take it over. The mogul is  extinct. God save the Queen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Blogbusters&lt;br /&gt;galore! Freak! Freak! Freak! The freakish government of Greece,  the most&lt;br /&gt;corrupt country in Occident, steals computers! Robbing dissident  bloggers and&lt;br /&gt;locking them in jail is a freakish behavior that does not belong  to the European&lt;br /&gt;Union, not even to this galaxy! No wonder some vain Greeks  boast they come from&lt;br /&gt;Andromeda galaxy! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civil  society must persuade the freakish blogbusters of the enemies of internet&lt;br /&gt;to  stop persecuting and robbing dissident bloggers. The enemies of internet  are&lt;br /&gt;Belarus, Burma, China, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, Iran, North Korea, Saudi  Arabia,&lt;br /&gt;Syria, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  fight for online freedom of expression is more essential than ever. The  Arab&lt;br /&gt;Spring has clearly shown, by creating new spaces for exchanging ideas,  that the&lt;br /&gt;Internet is a vehicle for freedom. In countries where the  traditional media are&lt;br /&gt;controlled by the government, the only independent news  and information are to&lt;br /&gt;be found on the Internet, which has become a forum for  discussion and a refuge&lt;br /&gt;for those who want to express their views  freely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accusing dissident bloggers of treason, Graecokleptocrats have  manufactured a&lt;br /&gt;blood libel in cyberspace, which in turn incites hatred and  violence. The&lt;br /&gt;freakish kangaroo justice government of Greece is the only  government on Earth&lt;br /&gt;which steals the computers of its citizens! Infamous CCU  is the brutal arm of&lt;br /&gt;the kangaroo government of Greece, which terrorizes the  cyberspace, stealing&lt;br /&gt;computers and files at gunpoint, perjuring, jailing  dissident bloggers, and&lt;br /&gt;gagging the truth. The Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU)  is the most disgusting gang&lt;br /&gt;in Fourth Reich!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot  be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to  eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and  awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to  speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/speakoutforum/post?postID=GYy1ghTO0MqBLADjUy2AZg3T8gdTgqHREPQ5z0o7fXDHxDU1TKkPCZ_fdn8TrJPpSZxv1UF9L2CH"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More  and more governments are trying to control the Internet and by stepping  up&lt;br /&gt;surveillance of Internet users. Netizens are being targeted by  government&lt;br /&gt;reprisals. More than 120 of them are currently detained for  expressing their&lt;br /&gt;views freely online, mainly in China, Iran and Vietnam.  World Day Against&lt;br /&gt;Cyber-Censorship pays tribute to them and their fight for  Internet freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With support from Google, Reporters Without Borders  will award the Netizen&lt;br /&gt;Prize, on Friday 12th March, at 6 p.m. The ceremony  will take place in Paris.&lt;br /&gt;The Netizen Prize will be awarded annually to a  blogger, online journalist or&lt;br /&gt;cyber-dissident who has helped to promote  freedom of expression on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uri Rosenthal, Foreign Minister of  the Netherlands, points out that standing up&lt;br /&gt;for freedom online is the  logical next step to our age-old endeavor for freedom&lt;br /&gt;of speech. For  centuries, this fundamental freedom has been the driver of&lt;br /&gt;democracy. The  fight for freedom of speech continues. But in the last decades,&lt;br /&gt;it has taken  on an extra dimension, that of freedom online. Freedom of speech&lt;br /&gt;online is no  different from freedom of speech offline. Only now, we are faced&lt;br /&gt;with new  technological possibilities and challenges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosenthal notes we are still  doing the same, only with different means, and much&lt;br /&gt;faster. Protecting  freedom online is to safeguard its democratic potential. It&lt;br /&gt;is time for  governments, companies, ICT experts, the academic community and&lt;br /&gt;civil society  at large to join efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since network neutrality first appeared in  policy debates, its meaning has been&lt;br /&gt;less than crystal clear. Some advocates  have argued that net neutrality demands&lt;br /&gt;that broadband Internet service  providers (ISPs) treat all bits equally: a bit&lt;br /&gt;is a bit is a bit, while  others make exceptions for malware bits, spam bits,&lt;br /&gt;child pornography bits,  etc. Some advocates have argued that net neutrality must&lt;br /&gt;apply not only to  wired broadband ISPs, but to wireless broadband providers as&lt;br /&gt;well, while  others recognize that wireless broadband has a unique technological&lt;br /&gt;structure  that requires more stringent and flexible capacity management than  is&lt;br /&gt;consistent with a bit is a bit is a bit. Prophylactic regulation is  not&lt;br /&gt;necessary, and may well reduce welfare. Sound policy is to wait for ex  post&lt;br /&gt;evidence of harm to justify interventions in specific  cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to La Quadrature du Net, The squaring of Internet, it is  impossible to&lt;br /&gt;effectively control the flow of information in the digital age  by law and&lt;br /&gt;technology without harming public freedoms, and damaging economic  and social&lt;br /&gt;development. This is similar to the squaring of the circle, a  problem that&lt;br /&gt;cannot be solved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Net-neutrality means the internet has  no gatekeeper. It encompasses all the&lt;br /&gt;issues related to the circulation of  information on the internet, such as free&lt;br /&gt;speech, access to knowledge,  copyright, or innovation. Thanks to this principle,&lt;br /&gt;everyone retain the  freedom to access and produce the information they want.&lt;br /&gt;Socialists want  prioritization of certain information flows by taking control of&lt;br /&gt;the network.  Kleptocrats threaten net-neutrality by seeking to implement&lt;br /&gt;filtering  techniques in order to re-establish the kind of control they used to&lt;br /&gt;have on  traditional media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs!  Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a  new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil  Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/speakoutforum/post?postID=GYy1ghTO0MqBLADjUy2AZg3T8gdTgqHREPQ5z0o7fXDHxDU1TKkPCZ_fdn8TrJPpSZxv1UF9L2CH"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  internet compresses time and space. News nowadays is flashing on  mobile&lt;br /&gt;phones in a matter of seconds. Messages on possible election fraud  can&lt;br /&gt;invigorate a texting crowd within minutes. Where it used to take days  to&lt;br /&gt;mobilize the masses, protests by so called flash mobs are now  organized&lt;br /&gt;instantaneously. Online technology is a catalyst which can help  people&lt;br /&gt;collectively overcome their fear of a totalitarian regime within  days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosenthal points out the Arab Awakening started for a large part  online. It will&lt;br /&gt;be a permanent force there. But one with many counterforces  still. Unfortunately&lt;br /&gt;old censorship techniques are still being used massively  in some countries, like&lt;br /&gt;controlling television channels and printed press.  But online technology is&lt;br /&gt;making life difficult for the censors. And we should  not make their life easier&lt;br /&gt;by providing them with filter  technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The persecution of Greek dissident bloggers is a worrying  example of how freedom&lt;br /&gt;on the net is under increasing threat. As more people  use cyberspace to&lt;br /&gt;communicate, obtain information, express their views,  socialize, and conduct&lt;br /&gt;commerce, governments are stepping up their efforts to  regulate and control it.&lt;br /&gt;Tight control on the internet impinges on our  freedom of speech, association and&lt;br /&gt;assembly. And it means that violations of  other human rights are kept away from&lt;br /&gt;us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-6420500524806531014?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/6420500524806531014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/march-12-world-day-against.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/6420500524806531014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/6420500524806531014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/march-12-world-day-against.html' title='MARCH 12, WORLD DAY AGAINST CYBERCENSORSHIP'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ELQTioDDEr0/T0utspJNDbI/AAAAAAAAGEc/x4WdpoDo34U/s72-c/internet-cybercensorship.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-3997143590765388210</id><published>2012-02-27T07:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-27T07:27:53.695-08:00</updated><title type='text'>VARDASKA TRIES TO CONTROL FOREIGN REPORTERS!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QjMZk03w5lM/T0ugmUdVp6I/AAAAAAAAGEU/eKLPXygDk80/s1600/A1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QjMZk03w5lM/T0ugmUdVp6I/AAAAAAAAGEU/eKLPXygDk80/s320/A1.gif" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vardaska is bewildered about most newsrooms of America and Europe, which  are&lt;br /&gt;infested with socialist apes, and their mindset spills over into the  news&lt;br /&gt;coverage, producing biased news stories on many issues, such as  kleptocracy,&lt;br /&gt;taxes, environment, government, insurance, and health. Infamous  Greek&lt;br /&gt;journalists received huge kickbacks, in order to keep their mouths shut  about&lt;br /&gt;the astronomical kickbacks to Graecokleptocrats! Omerta galore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporters  Without Borders calls on the Vardaskan parliament to urgently amend  a&lt;br /&gt;proposed foreign media law in order to dispel concern about several key  points&lt;br /&gt;and ensure respect for freedom of information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What a paradox  if the new law were to be more repressive than the one inherited&lt;br /&gt;from  socialist Yugoslavia," Reporters Without Borders said. "We are very  worried&lt;br /&gt;by the authoritarian attitudes that imbue the draft submitted  to&lt;br /&gt;parliamentarians and we are perplexed by some if its provisions, which  seem&lt;br /&gt;quite simply absurd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The bill confers excessive powers on the  foreign ministry and allows the&lt;br /&gt;judicial system a dangerous degree of leeway  in its interpretation of the law.&lt;br /&gt;The parliamentarians must reexamine and  clarify the bill or else all the&lt;br /&gt;international media will be subjected to an  arbitrary regime at complete&lt;br /&gt;variance with the European and international  conventions ratified by Vardaska."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vardaska tries to control foreign  reporters. Mainstream media are unfair,&lt;br /&gt;unbalanced, banal, vane, and  hoipolloi trash. Newspapers have become screed&lt;br /&gt;wraps of DVDs. TV news has  sold its soul to&lt;br /&gt;rabblerousers and pullpeddlers and is full of set-up  arguments. Reporters have&lt;br /&gt;been transformed to statist parrots who doubledip  in the state treasury.&lt;br /&gt;Anchormen have become the czars of statist banality  and propaganda. Omerta&lt;br /&gt;galore! The truth can be found only on the  Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only  in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and  declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the  invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis,  &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/purecapitalism/post?postID=oF3rY4zpnzDjUMwp5NPTBJtjwGQ61oOnQUjCxFNabPMeVWJ4Tms_q4jFl3mcux4Dggx6VchGweQMLqKW"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greek  reporters are the main target of Vardaska. Greek journalists are rewarded&lt;br /&gt;for  their disgusting support of&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocracy with aggeliosimo, an unfair 20%  charge on all advertising,&lt;br /&gt;going to the pension fund of their union. All  advertisers now have to pay 43%&lt;br /&gt;surcharge, 23% VAT and 20% aggeliosimo. This  abuse of advertisers and the media&lt;br /&gt;is condoned by Fourth Reich, and it puts  many media out of business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vardaskans understand the dialogue in a way  that differs sharply from that of&lt;br /&gt;Socrates. For them, dialogue does not mean  an attempt to rationally debate a&lt;br /&gt;topic in order to arrive at the truth.  Truth is already given. It's called&lt;br /&gt;Tito's Dogma, and the only dialogue that  is acceptable is one that will&lt;br /&gt;eventually lead to the implementation of  Tito's Dogma of finding an exit of&lt;br /&gt;Vardaska to the Aegean Sea by robbing the  name and heritage of Greek Macedonia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The proposed law on establishing,  developing and disseminating foreign&lt;br /&gt;publications and films in Vardaska,  which came before parliament for its first&lt;br /&gt;reading on 17 February and will  have its second reading soon, aims to replace&lt;br /&gt;the Yugoslavian legislation on  the foreign media that has been in effect since&lt;br /&gt;1974.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bill's main  innovations concern the procedures for accrediting foreign&lt;br /&gt;journalists and  media, and have given rise to a great deal of concern in various&lt;br /&gt;quarters in  Vardaska, including the Association of Vardaskan Journalists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the bill  is passed in its current form, responsibility for issuing foreign&lt;br /&gt;media  accreditation would be transferred from the government secretariat's&lt;br /&gt;public  relations office to the foreign ministry. Several national media such as&lt;br /&gt;the  daily Utrinski Vestnik and Telma TV pointed out before parliament  began&lt;br /&gt;debating the bill that the head of the diplomatic service will decide  who can&lt;br /&gt;and cannot become a correspondent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minister of state for  justice Biljana Brishkoska-Boshkoski told parliament that&lt;br /&gt;foreign news media  will be able to base themselves in Vardaska only after a&lt;br /&gt;bilateral accord has  been signed between Vardaska and the media's country of&lt;br /&gt;origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its  current form, the bill implies that foreign correspondents will be&lt;br /&gt;permitted  only one renewal of their press accreditation, which would in practice&lt;br /&gt;limit  their stay in Vardaska to two years. The issuing of accreditation will&lt;br /&gt;take  up to two weeks, even for TV crews that are planning to spend less than  a&lt;br /&gt;month in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to reach a compromise on the name  issue, the two sides must meet in the&lt;br /&gt;middle by taking reciprocal steps to  bridge the gap and reconcile their&lt;br /&gt;conflicting positions. Greece has already  done its part. A fair and lasting&lt;br /&gt;solution can only be based on a name with a  geographic qualifier, to be used for&lt;br /&gt;all purposes, erga omnes. Macedonia is a  large geographic region, most of which&lt;br /&gt;lies in Greece. A small part is in  Vardaska and a smaller part in Bulgaria. The&lt;br /&gt;part cannot represent the whole  and the Vardaska's exclusive claims to the name&lt;br /&gt;Macedonia cannot be allowed  to fuel nationalism. Any solution must be&lt;br /&gt;universally implemented because  otherwise today's situation will simply be&lt;br /&gt;perpetuated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words  are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote  speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/purecapitalism/post?postID=oF3rY4zpnzDjUMwp5NPTBJtjwGQ61oOnQUjCxFNabPMeVWJ4Tms_q4jFl3mcux4Dggx6VchGweQMLqKW"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Failure  by any foreign correspondent or news bureau to respect Vardaska's laws&lt;br /&gt;and  regulations would result in the immediate withdrawal by the foreign  ministry&lt;br /&gt;of their permission to operate in the country. It could also give  rise to&lt;br /&gt;judicial proceedings and a sentence of up to six months in  prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Making foreign media accreditation dependent on the goodwill of  government&lt;br /&gt;officials, and at the same time introducing sanctions on this  scale, opens the&lt;br /&gt;way to every imaginable form of pressure and censorship,"  Reporters Without&lt;br /&gt;Borders said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an apparent attempt to curb  contraband, strict limits are placed on the&lt;br /&gt;number of publications that can  be brought into Vardaska. Individuals are&lt;br /&gt;allowed to bring only five copies  of each foreign "publication" with them. These&lt;br /&gt;are surreally defined as  "books, CDs, periodicals, magazines, software,&lt;br /&gt;electronic publications,  atlases, posters, photos, slides and any sound or video&lt;br /&gt;file, reproduced  abroad."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, article 18 of the bill bans foreign correspondents from  gathering&lt;br /&gt;personal opinions and data from citizens by means of investigation.  Contravening&lt;br /&gt;this prohibition would be punishable by a fine of 100 to 300  euros for a&lt;br /&gt;reporter or 500 to 1,000 euros for a news media.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-3997143590765388210?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/3997143590765388210/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/vardaska-tries-to-control-foreign.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3997143590765388210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3997143590765388210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/vardaska-tries-to-control-foreign.html' title='VARDASKA TRIES TO CONTROL FOREIGN REPORTERS!'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QjMZk03w5lM/T0ugmUdVp6I/AAAAAAAAGEU/eKLPXygDk80/s72-c/A1.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-5265039491987178918</id><published>2012-02-27T05:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-27T05:45:17.439-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A BORDER IS NOT A BARRIER</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fW4NykdxT3A/T0uIgk5uHfI/AAAAAAAAGEM/RIwQOfg7Oe0/s1600/immigration3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fW4NykdxT3A/T0uIgk5uHfI/AAAAAAAAGEM/RIwQOfg7Oe0/s1600/immigration3.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuehrer Merkozy does not understand the function of borders. A border is  not&lt;br /&gt;properly a barrier for the purpose of keeping foreigners out; it is  properly a&lt;br /&gt;boundary designating the area in which the government must protect  rights.&lt;br /&gt;Rights-respecting foreigners who want to cross that boundary in order  to enjoy&lt;br /&gt;the relative freedom and abundant opportunity in a country have a  moral right to&lt;br /&gt;do so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three  Member States are still making it too difficult for highly skilled people&lt;br /&gt;to  come and work in the EU, prompting the Commission to act. Despite having  been&lt;br /&gt;warned in July 2011, Austria, Cyprus and Greece have not yet transposed  the&lt;br /&gt;rules of the Blue Card Directive, which should have been implemented  before 19&lt;br /&gt;June 2011. This is why the European Commission today issued  reasoned opinions&lt;br /&gt;(Article 258 TFEU) requesting Austria, Cyprus and Greece to  bring their laws&lt;br /&gt;into line with EU legislation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Citizens who want to  associate with foreigners in rights-respecting ways,&lt;br /&gt;whether through  friendship, romance, recreation, or commerce, have a moral right&lt;br /&gt;to do so.  And citizens who do not want to associate with foreigners have a moral&lt;br /&gt;right  not to associate with them. But no one, including the government, has a&lt;br /&gt;moral  right to prevent anyone from acting on his judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The EU Blue Card  Directive puts in place common and efficient rules that allow&lt;br /&gt;highly skilled  people from outside Europe to come and work in our labour&lt;br /&gt;markets, filling  gaps that cannot be filled by EU nationals. It establishes a&lt;br /&gt;fast-track  admission procedure for these foreigners and ensures a common set of&lt;br /&gt;social  and economic rights, such as equal treatment with nationals as  regards&lt;br /&gt;working conditions and pay, as well as access to goods and  services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only  in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and  declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

The current economic and  financial&lt;br /&gt;crises makes this need all the more pressing, while highlighting  the need for&lt;br /&gt;common rules and a comprehensive and balanced EU migration  policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open immigration does not mean that anyone may enter the country  at any location&lt;br /&gt;or in any manner he chooses; it is not unchecked or  unmonitored immigration.&lt;br /&gt;Open immigration means that anyone is free to enter  and reside in a country,&lt;br /&gt;providing that he enters at a designated checkpoint  and passes an objective&lt;br /&gt;screening process, the purpose of which is to keep  out criminals, terrorists,&lt;br /&gt;enemies of the country, and people with certain  kinds of contagious diseases.&lt;br /&gt;Such a policy is not only politically right; it  is morally right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Blue Card Directive (Directive 2009/50/EC) was  adopted on 25 May 2009 and&lt;br /&gt;Member Sates had until 19 June 2011 to transpose  its provisions into national&lt;br /&gt;law. All EU Member States except Denmark, the UK  and Ireland are bound by the&lt;br /&gt;Directive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If worldwide immigration were  to be even slightly loosened, this would help the&lt;br /&gt;global economy. Over time  we would all become richer. The best way to raise&lt;br /&gt;global wealth is a free  flow of people and products, to tear down all borders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  EU Blue Card scheme helps attract highly qualified migrants to  Europe,&lt;br /&gt;supporting Member States' and EU companies' efforts to fill gaps in  their labour&lt;br /&gt;markets that cannot be filled by their own nationals, other EU  nationals or&lt;br /&gt;legally resident non-EU nationals. It provides a common and  simplified procedure&lt;br /&gt;applicable in the EU Member States bound by the  Directive and ensures that&lt;br /&gt;potential migrants know what they need to do,  whichever Member State they are&lt;br /&gt;planning to go to, rather than having to face  24 different systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs!

Greece has complied with a ruling by the European  Court of&lt;br /&gt;Justice of the European Union (ECJ) of 31 March 2011 and paid the  Commission a&lt;br /&gt;€3 million penalty for ignoring a previous ECJ ruling for not  implementing the&lt;br /&gt;EU rules. As a result, the Commission is now closing the  infringement case&lt;br /&gt;against Greece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what is adopted by the Grand  Brothel on Syntagma Square is not always&lt;br /&gt;followed in practice! Greece is the  queen of political corruption in Occident. &lt;br /&gt;The impunity of the 300 MPs of  the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square is the most&lt;br /&gt;freakish thing on Earth.  Even though Graecokleptocrats looted many billion&lt;br /&gt;euros in kickbacks and  churning, not a single Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to&lt;br /&gt;jail!  Graecokleptocrats are protected by the parliamentary immunity, and nobody&lt;br /&gt;can  touch them, no matter what. Moreover, they have the nerve to jail  dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers. It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas!

This Directive has&lt;br /&gt;improved  the situation in those Member States which have implemented its&lt;br /&gt;provisions  since 1 January 2006. The Commission decided to sue Greece at the ECJ&lt;br /&gt;for  failing to implement this measure. On 31 March 2011 the ECJ levied a  €3&lt;br /&gt;million penalty on Greece (case C-407/09) for failing to comply with a  previous&lt;br /&gt;Court ruling to implement the EU law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, the  Commission cannot realize that the worst criminal in Greece is&lt;br /&gt;the government  of Greece! Blogbusters galore! Freak! Freak! Freak! The&lt;br /&gt;freakish government  of Greece, the most corrupt country in Occident, steals&lt;br /&gt;computers! Robbing  dissident bloggers and locking them in jail is a freakish&lt;br /&gt;behavior that does  not belong to the European Union, not even to this galaxy! &lt;br /&gt;No wonder some  vain Greeks boast they come from Andromeda galaxy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accusing dissident  bloggers of treason, Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a&lt;br /&gt;blood libel in  cyberspace, which in turn incites hatred and violence. The&lt;br /&gt;freakish kangaroo  justice government of Greece is the only government on Earth&lt;br /&gt;which steals the  computers of its citizens! Infamous CCU is the brutal arm of&lt;br /&gt;the kangaroo  government of Greece, which terrorizes the cyberspace, stealing&lt;br /&gt;computers and  files at gunpoint, perjuring, jailing dissident bloggers, and&lt;br /&gt;gagging the  truth. The Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) is the most disgusting gang&lt;br /&gt;in Fourth  Reich!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, the Commission proposed a package of measures that  builds on existing&lt;br /&gt;EU legislation and strengthens the rights of victims (see  IP/11/585). The&lt;br /&gt;Commission is working on other initiatives to foster victims'  rights and in&lt;br /&gt;particular to further improve the compensation of those  victims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece, the most corrupt country in Occident, has become a  kangaroo valley,&lt;br /&gt;violating basic human rights and Article 2 of the Lisbon  Treaty, but nobody&lt;br /&gt;gives a damn. I cannot understand why the European  Commission tolerates&lt;br /&gt;political persecution and freakish Kangaroo Justice  within the borders of the&lt;br /&gt;European Union and cannot refer the Greek  government to the Court of Justice of&lt;br /&gt;the European Union. I cannot understand  why the European Commission cannot&lt;br /&gt;protect Greeks from appalling violations  of Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty by&lt;br /&gt;the Greek government. If the European  Union cannot protect Greeks from the&lt;br /&gt;repressive Greek government, who will?  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  October of 2010, an unknown American, member of Crystal Clear Forum,  an&lt;br /&gt;American Yahoo Group, used as pseudonym the name of Mariliza  Xenogiannakopoulou,&lt;br /&gt;Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, to post  a single message about&lt;br /&gt;Turkey. The unknown American did not violate any law  because, according to the&lt;br /&gt;Supreme Court of USA, anybody can use any pseudonym  or pen name. For example,&lt;br /&gt;thousands of people use Obama's name as a  pseudonym. It's considered an honor,&lt;br /&gt;not a forgery. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only  spoofing is forgery. The unknown American would have used spoofing if  she&lt;br /&gt;used Xenogiannakopoulou's email which is &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt/post?postID=fes2MVMItU6cl9T_wP1p_RWb30WuYmH4WcAFA96QKUPGvGop4woqMFGhitecWJYQsD5AVWe0ecQx"&gt;marilxen@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Instead she used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt/post?postID=Jk8_HYnEK9OSFnz3ELxTtsBZZfPCq7vzHsj8XaZ7sW0qXkoYoklOi7as_ojo14KXW2vhb3lXC7CHMdUTZlhiDW2hl_n9wxhMDN0p0dM"&gt;mariliza.xenogiannakopoulou@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;  which is not Xenogiannakopoulou's email.&lt;br /&gt;The unknown American posted on &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum"&gt;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with  her pseudonym using a kind of literature called Lyric Essay, which  uses&lt;br /&gt;emotion and color to enlighten a message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some malevolent  characters misinformed Xenogiannakopoulou that the culprit was&lt;br /&gt;I, Basil  Venitis, just because my name was mentioned in the post! As a result&lt;br /&gt;of this  misinformation, on October 18, 2010, a gang of six brutal cybercops of&lt;br /&gt;the  violent Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) broke into my home in Athens and into&lt;br /&gt;my  college office, and stole my computers, software, files, documents,  and&lt;br /&gt;personal data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cybercops locked me in jail for a night, they  humiliated me with handcuffs,&lt;br /&gt;fingerprints, mug shots, and lies, leaked false  information to the media&lt;br /&gt;parrots, and the Greek government initiated sham  court proceedings for a stack&lt;br /&gt;of charges, including forgery and treason!  There was neither pillow nor toilet&lt;br /&gt;facility in my jail cell. I had to  urinate in a bottle! I, a 65 year old with&lt;br /&gt;heart problems, was not allowed to  keep my hypertension pills with me. There&lt;br /&gt;was neither toilet paper nor soap  in the whole CCU jail facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's not the end of the story. My  nerves are broken by no accuser showing&lt;br /&gt;up during my court trial! The judge  always has to postpone the trial for&lt;br /&gt;another day and so it goes ad infinitum.  Meanwhile, I always have to show up&lt;br /&gt;and waste the whole day waiting as there  is no definite timing for the hearing,&lt;br /&gt;but only a day. I and my lawyer have  to be in the courtroom the whole day until&lt;br /&gt;the judge calls my name. Then the  judge calls the name of the accuser, nobody&lt;br /&gt;replies, and the judge postpones  the trial for another day. This has happened&lt;br /&gt;five times so far! This is a  real Greek tragedy! Justice delayed is no&lt;br /&gt;justice, justice perpetuated is  hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAILBIRD FOR A NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;By Basil Venitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt/post?postID=cE87gzMZOnpSvPdAugD4lYpk7kiEYFGsGN7OO48dsYv1GTR5WblZAMysE9lrR2QGLPVGDhOrAA5a"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big  brother checks the internet&lt;br /&gt;For things you criticize&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mouth on  the net&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mind on the sky.&lt;br /&gt;Cops busted my home&lt;br /&gt;And stole my  computer&lt;br /&gt;Hard disk on their comb&lt;br /&gt;blogger on their mooter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They  threw me in jail&lt;br /&gt;For speaking my mind&lt;br /&gt;My words are out of  jail&lt;br /&gt;Revolting in a kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This jail is awful&lt;br /&gt;Without pillow  alone&lt;br /&gt;Urinating in a bottle&lt;br /&gt;And the girl next cell begins to  moan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screaming in the dark of jail&lt;br /&gt;Guards pretending they are  deaf&lt;br /&gt;She is a girl, she is frail&lt;br /&gt;She is missing her Jeff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can  smile at the old days,&lt;br /&gt;I was a handsome professor then.&lt;br /&gt;Those were real  happy days&lt;br /&gt;Happy memory lives again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesmiserables in  jail&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats out of jail&lt;br /&gt;This is hell on Earth&lt;br /&gt;It's shame and  pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time for a real revolt&lt;br /&gt;To bring a real change&lt;br /&gt;To bring the  looting to a halt&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats should not escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats must be  laughing&lt;br /&gt;Premier must be happy,&lt;br /&gt;This is stupid and  disgusting,&lt;br /&gt;Government has a party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmglads sleeping before  dawn&lt;br /&gt;Silence cut with a cry&lt;br /&gt;Jailbird could be reborn&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to a  happy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My memory leads me&lt;br /&gt;Finding strength within&lt;br /&gt;People  really love me&lt;br /&gt;A new life should begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for the  sunrise&lt;br /&gt;Thinking of a new life&lt;br /&gt;I mustn't give in&lt;br /&gt;A new day will  begin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-493838574168506327?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/493838574168506327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/greek-government-is-worst-criminal-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/493838574168506327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/493838574168506327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/greek-government-is-worst-criminal-in.html' title='THE GREEK GOVERNMENT IS THE WORST CRIMINAL IN GREECE!'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sqrWFkzvNko/T0uAAluGMfI/AAAAAAAAGEE/xeQ9F7h0LPo/s72-c/Anonymous1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-2163592305413832693</id><published>2012-02-27T03:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-27T03:51:12.799-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SOS!

Blogbusters galore!  &lt;br /&gt;Freak! Freak! Freak! The freakish government of Greece, the most  corrupt&lt;br /&gt;country in Occident, steals computers! Robbing dissident bloggers and  locking&lt;br /&gt;them in jail is a freakish behavior that does not belong to the  European Union,&lt;br /&gt;not even to this galaxy! No wonder some vain Greeks boast  they come from&lt;br /&gt;Andromeda galaxy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Discussion on the Anti-Counterfeiting  Trade Agreement (ACTA) in the&lt;br /&gt;International Trade Committee starts Wednesday.  Parliament will need to decide&lt;br /&gt;whether or not to approve the agreement. On  Tuesday a petition against ACTA will&lt;br /&gt;be handed to the Petitions Committee,  and on 1 March a public workshop with&lt;br /&gt;experts and bloggers will look at  issues such as ACTA's potential impact on&lt;br /&gt;civil liberties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EFF muses  that if there's one thing that encapsulates what's wrong with the  way&lt;br /&gt;government functions today, ACTA is it. You wouldn't know it from the  name, but&lt;br /&gt;the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is a plurilateral agreement  designed to&lt;br /&gt;broaden and extend existing intellectual property enforcement  laws to the&lt;br /&gt;Internet. While it was only negotiated between a few countries,  it has global&lt;br /&gt;consequences. First because it will create new rules for the  Internet, and&lt;br /&gt;second, because its standards will be applied to other  countries through the&lt;br /&gt;U.S.'s annual Special 301 process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negotiated in  secret, ACTA bypassed checks and balances of existing&lt;br /&gt;international  intellectual property norm-setting bodies, without any meaningful&lt;br /&gt;input from  national parliaments, policymakers, or their citizens. Worse still,&lt;br /&gt;the  agreement creates a new global institution, an ACTA Committee to oversee  its&lt;br /&gt;implementation and interpretation that will be made up of unelected  members with&lt;br /&gt;no legal obligation to be transparent in their proceedings. Both  in substance&lt;br /&gt;and in process, ACTA embodies an outdated top-down, arbitrary  approach to&lt;br /&gt;government that is out of step with modern notions of  participatory democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a  post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring  my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look  forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.  Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fireflyflash/post?postID=YIt5EkeTuYz28DC5SC4M4a8wJRms75nSWVUP6R88AGBq4tllRG8D1Y-uN5wx-XsuXU3OeyEK0A"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday  28 February, 11.30h - ACTA press conference by rapporteur David  Martin&lt;br /&gt;(S&amp;amp;D, UK) and shadow rapporteur Christofer Fjellner (EPP,  SE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Martin will state his position on ACTA and comment on the  European&lt;br /&gt;Commission's decision to refer it to the European Court of Justice  for a ruling&lt;br /&gt;on its compatibility with fundamental rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venue:  Anna Politkovskaya press conference room, 00A050, Paul-Henri  Spaak&lt;br /&gt;building&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday 28 February, 12.30h - Presentation of  ACTA petition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A petition against ACTA, signed by almost 2.5 million  people worldwide world,&lt;br /&gt;will be handed to Petitions Committee Chair Erminia  Mazzoni (EPP, IT).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Broadcast-quality images will be available on  Parliament's audiovisual website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venue: in front of room ASP A3G3,  Altiero Spinelli building&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday 29 February, 17.00h - First  International Trade Committee debate on&lt;br /&gt;ACTA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the committee  that will make a formal recommendation to Parliament as a &lt;br /&gt;whole on whether  to approve ACTA. Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht will  take&lt;br /&gt;part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venue: room PHS 3C050, Paul-Henri Spaak  building&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday 1 March, 15.00h - Open workshop with ACTA  experts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACTA's pros and cons will be debated at a half-day public  workshop with&lt;br /&gt;academics, civil society bodies and EU  officials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venue: room JAN 4Q2, Jozsef Antall building&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EFF  points out it is now up to the collective will of the public to decide  what&lt;br /&gt;to do next, and for individuals to ask themselves what they want  their&lt;br /&gt;government to look like. Do you believe in democracy? Do you believe  that laws&lt;br /&gt;should be made to reflect our collective best interests, formulated  through an&lt;br /&gt;open transparent process? One that allows everyone, from experts  to civil&lt;br /&gt;society members, to analyze, question and probe an agreement that  will lead to&lt;br /&gt;laws that will impact potentially billions of lives? If we don't  do anything&lt;br /&gt;now, this agreement is going to crawl itself into power. With the  future at&lt;br /&gt;stake like this, it's never too late to fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words  are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote  speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fireflyflash/post?postID=YIt5EkeTuYz28DC5SC4M4a8wJRms75nSWVUP6R88AGBq4tllRG8D1Y-uN5wx-XsuXU3OeyEK0A"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  fight against cybercensorship is more essential than ever. By creating  blogs&lt;br /&gt;for exchanging ideas and information, internet is a force for freedom.  In&lt;br /&gt;countries where the traditional media are controlled by the government,  the only&lt;br /&gt;independent news and information are to be found on the internet,  which has&lt;br /&gt;become a forum for discussion and a refuge for those who want to  express their&lt;br /&gt;views freely. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However,  more and more repressive governments, such as those of China and&lt;br /&gt;Greece, have  realized this and persecute dissident bloggers. Never have so many&lt;br /&gt;countries  been affected by some form of cybercensorship, whether arrests or&lt;br /&gt;harassment  of dissident bloggers, online surveillance, website blocking, or the&lt;br /&gt;adoption  of repressive internet laws. Dissident bloggers are being targeted  by&lt;br /&gt;government reprisals.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-2163592305413832693?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/2163592305413832693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/sos-call-now-all-meps-you-can-urging.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2163592305413832693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2163592305413832693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/sos-call-now-all-meps-you-can-urging.html' title='SOS!

Fourth Reich  should rein&lt;br /&gt;in Graecokleptocrats and kangaroo judges first before accusing  foreign&lt;br /&gt;kleptocrats of misconduct. Clean your own house first, before opening  your&lt;br /&gt;mouth about the dirt in other houses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless  the Council, ahead of the 19th regular session of the UN Human&lt;br /&gt;Rights Council  (HRC), criticizes many nations, and reaffirms Fourth Reich's&lt;br /&gt;strong support  to the Human Rights Council and welcomes the pseudoprogress made&lt;br /&gt;in  performing its mandate over the last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogbusters galore! Freak!  Freak! Freak! The freakish government of Greece,&lt;br /&gt;the most corrupt country in  Occident, steals computers!

No wonder some vain Greeks boast&lt;br /&gt;they come from  Andromeda galaxy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich appreciates in particular the readiness of  the Human Rights Council&lt;br /&gt;to address urgent cases of human rights violations  which require immediate&lt;br /&gt;attention by the international community. In this  respect, the EU welcomes and&lt;br /&gt;supports the leading role of the Human Rights  Council in addressing over the&lt;br /&gt;last year developments and human rights  concerns in North Africa and the Middle&lt;br /&gt;East, in particular Libya, Syria and  Iran, but also in the case of Belarus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accusing dissident bloggers of  treason, Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a&lt;br /&gt;blood libel in cyberspace,  which in turn incites hatred and violence. The&lt;br /&gt;freakish kangaroo justice  government of Greece is the only government on Earth&lt;br /&gt;which steals the  computers of its citizens! Infamous CCU is the brutal arm of&lt;br /&gt;the kangaroo  government of Greece, which terrorizes the cyberspace, stealing&lt;br /&gt;computers and  files at gunpoint, perjuring, jailing dissident bloggers, and&lt;br /&gt;gagging the  truth. The Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) is the most disgusting gang&lt;br /&gt;in Fourth  Reich!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Council asserts that in light of the continued brutal  crackdown on its&lt;br /&gt;citizens by the Syrian Government, the human rights  situation in Syria must stay&lt;br /&gt;high on the HRC agenda and the HRC should  preserve a strong, effective capacity&lt;br /&gt;to monitor the situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece,  the most corrupt country in Occident, has become a kangaroo valley,&lt;br /&gt;violating  basic human rights and Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty, but nobody&lt;br /&gt;gives a  damn. I cannot understand why the European Commission tolerates&lt;br /&gt;political  persecution and freakish Kangaroo Justice within the borders of the&lt;br /&gt;European  Union and cannot refer the Greek government to the Court of Justice of&lt;br /&gt;the  European Union. I cannot understand why the European Commission  cannot&lt;br /&gt;protect Greeks from appalling violations of Article 2 of the Lisbon  Treaty by&lt;br /&gt;the Greek government. If the European Union cannot protect Greeks  from the&lt;br /&gt;repressive Greek government, who will? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth  Reich expects the Human Rights Council to continue to closely follow  the&lt;br /&gt;different human rights situations in the world. The EU expects the HRC to  extend&lt;br /&gt;the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran in order to  maintain&lt;br /&gt;international attention on the worrying human rights situation in  the country.&lt;br /&gt;Elsewhere in the region, of special concern are also the  situations of Yemen and&lt;br /&gt;Bahrain. The situation in Libya should also remain on  the agenda of&lt;br /&gt;the HRC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The freakish government of Greece uses charge  stacking to persecute dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers. Charge stacking is the ability to  charge a large number of overlapping&lt;br /&gt;crimes for a single course of conduct.  Combining crimes enables prosecutors to&lt;br /&gt;get convictions in cases where there  is no misconduct at all. By stacking&lt;br /&gt;enough charges, including treason, Greek  prosecutors jack up the threat value of&lt;br /&gt;a trial against a dissident blogger,  even if the government's case is very weak.&lt;br /&gt;Charge stacking is terror. The  disgusting government of Greece cannot terrorize&lt;br /&gt;the Greek  people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Persecuting dissident bloggers, the outlaw government of Greece  violates Article&lt;br /&gt;2 of the Lisbon Treaty, which states the European Union is  founded on the values&lt;br /&gt;of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy,  equality, the rule of law, and&lt;br /&gt;respect for human rights. These values are  common to the Member States in a&lt;br /&gt;society in which pluralism,  nondiscrimination, tolerance, and justice prevail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece also violates  Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights,&lt;br /&gt;which states that  everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right&lt;br /&gt;shall include  freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and&lt;br /&gt;ideas  without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.

Eurokleptocrats pulled off the  biggest&lt;br /&gt;powergrab in history by imposing a camouflaged constitution,  bypassing all&lt;br /&gt;nonos. The Nazi dream for Europe was finally fullfilled - ein  Volk, ein Reich,&lt;br /&gt;ein Fuehrer - one people, one empire, one  leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso had to learn the painful lesson that what he hoped was  limited turned&lt;br /&gt;out to be a systemic crisis of the EU. Over years and decades  we allowed a gap&lt;br /&gt;to emerge to become wider and wider, a gap between our  consumption behaviours&lt;br /&gt;and our cost of living on the one side, and our  productivity on the other. Until&lt;br /&gt;very recently, our response to this gap was  to take out ever higher credit,&lt;br /&gt;spurred by low interest rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You all  know how this ended. Lehman Brothers collapsed and with it the&lt;br /&gt;confidence of  markets in the capability of countries to refinance their debt.&lt;br /&gt;The hitherto  carelessness of investors turned into its extreme opposite,  into&lt;br /&gt;risk-averseness and sometimes panic. The rise of new powers like China,  India,&lt;br /&gt;Brazil and others which today realise an important portion in the  global wealth&lt;br /&gt;further escalated this development. We all have to accept that  the times are&lt;br /&gt;behind us there was unlimited and unconditional access to  finance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lisbon Treaty is Eurokleptocracy's Pyrrhic victory. It  created a&lt;br /&gt;confederation, Fourth Reich, without a popular foundation. EU lacks  legitimacy&lt;br /&gt;among Europeans. Eurokleptocrats created a situation where the  citizens of slave&lt;br /&gt;States live their lives with a resigned feeling that the EU  project is not their&lt;br /&gt;own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats want to transform the  confederation of EU to the federation of&lt;br /&gt;USE (United States of Europe),  enslaving all Europeans to Brussels and spreading&lt;br /&gt;the cancer of socialism.  Barroso declares we need to change if we want to&lt;br /&gt;maintain and to sustain our  model of social market economy in Europe and defend&lt;br /&gt;our values and interests  globally. It is true that some have acted earlier than&lt;br /&gt;others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth  Reich is an illegal confederation that has no voted constitution, a flag&lt;br /&gt;no  one salutes, an anthem no one sings, a Fuehrer no one can name, a  parliament&lt;br /&gt;of prostitutes, a capital of huge bureaucracy no one controls, a  currency that&lt;br /&gt;soon will not exist, rules of fiscal behavior that no member  has been penalized&lt;br /&gt;for ignoring, a commission which is the Eldorado of  corruption, brutal&lt;br /&gt;cybercops, and kleptocrats galore! Ode to Joy is the  anthem of Fourth Reich. It&lt;br /&gt;is based on the final movement of Beethoven's 9th  Symphony, and it's used&lt;br /&gt;without lyrics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  points out we are faced with extraordinary challenges. It has  become&lt;br /&gt;commonplace to describe the present crisis as the most serious  economic crisis&lt;br /&gt;since the Second World War. Barroso emphasizes this: yes, we  are in a very&lt;br /&gt;serious crisis. But we do have the potential and the means to  overcome it. If we&lt;br /&gt;make that effort, we will be stronger, more united and  more open after the&lt;br /&gt;crisis than before it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichian monetary and  fiscal unification is the Trojan horse for overall&lt;br /&gt;harmonization of economic  rules, policies, and laws in Fourth Reich. Any&lt;br /&gt;eurozone problem is  interpreted as a consequence of the lack of harmonization&lt;br /&gt;and leads to  another wave of a creeping harmonization. Fuehrer Merkozy&lt;br /&gt;frequently declares  that coordinating tax policies and labor laws is not just&lt;br /&gt;about currency  issues but also about political cooperation, which has to be&lt;br /&gt;deepened. In  other words, more enslavement to Brussels, transforming the&lt;br /&gt;confederation to  a federation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have to secede now from Fourth Reich, because we might  not be able to do it&lt;br /&gt;later. Do not forget what happened to CSA. The  Confederate States of America&lt;br /&gt;(CSA), 1861-1865, was a confederation of eleven  Southern states that had&lt;br /&gt;declared their secession from USA. But USA rejected  this justified secession as&lt;br /&gt;illegal, and used military action to defeat  CSA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VAT is a very good reason to secede from Fourth Reich(EU) now.  Vatstruck&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichians are looking for a Moses to liberate them from the  yoke of&lt;br /&gt;Brussels. They have to do it now, before a new imposed treaty  between&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats tie their hands forever. Californians and Texans want  to secede&lt;br /&gt;from USA, but Uncle Sam does not allow it. The same thing might  happen with&lt;br /&gt;Britons and Greeks. Infinite infinitesimal amendments to treaties  might&lt;br /&gt;accumulate over time, leading to huge changes of original intent,  enslaving all&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichians to Brussels forever! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greenland  was the first country to secede from Fourth Reich. The Lisbon  Treaty&lt;br /&gt;introduces a secession clause. A slave State may notify the  Fourthreichian&lt;br /&gt;Council that it wishes to secede, upon which secession  negotiations begin; if no&lt;br /&gt;other agreement is reached, the hateful Lisbon  Treaty ceases to apply to the&lt;br /&gt;seceding State two years after such  notification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One popular haunt of Eurokleptocrats is the Treviso Hotel  on Place Stephanie in&lt;br /&gt;the expensive and trendy Ixelles area of Brussels. The  love hotel bills itself&lt;br /&gt;as a venue for couples with room service and  discretion assured in glamorous&lt;br /&gt;rooms rented out at 100 euros an  hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anne De Schepper, the hotel's manager, points out the long lunch  break is the&lt;br /&gt;preferred time of day for her clientele of Eurokleptocrats to  commit adultery,&lt;br /&gt;courtesy of pullpeddlers. Eurokleptocrats are 80 per cent of  Treviso Hotel's&lt;br /&gt;business, most of it paid by pullpeddlers. Unlike the  traditional hotel&lt;br /&gt;industry, Treviso Hotel has not experienced the economic  crisis thanks to&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats and pullpeddlers. Treviso Hotel is busiest  at lunch time,&lt;br /&gt;followed by early evening in between the end of office hours  and the time&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats need to get back to their  spouses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurokleptocrats are told to beware the charms of Mata Hari type  sirens trading&lt;br /&gt;sex for Fourth Reich secrets and business. The European  Commission circulates a&lt;br /&gt;memorandum warning that middle-aged Eurokleptocrats  are particularly susceptible&lt;br /&gt;to long legs and blonde  hair!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BERLAYMONT, FOURTH REICH'S CAMELOT!&lt;br /&gt;By Basil Venitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eurofreedom/post?postID=knMCKx3GbGtxFSmb_D8_vfqfYjPQkm6B5oDO5fuLiY9nfssGjbEKODPfExFAfxAqTvwxfX-eI7o"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're  commissars of Barroso's Round Table.&lt;br /&gt;We work whenever we're able.&lt;br /&gt;We  bush-patrol in our offices&lt;br /&gt;Whenever partners are available.&lt;br /&gt;We dine well  here in Berlaymont&lt;br /&gt;Champagne and caviar are always  available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commissioning on your behalf&lt;br /&gt;Squander your hard-earned  euros.&lt;br /&gt;There is a huge flow of kickbacks&lt;br /&gt;That is always  acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;Rabblerousers come to Berlaymont.&lt;br /&gt;Pullpeddlers cheer this  Camelot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For dolce vita we junket our PIGS,&lt;br /&gt;For money we junket our  North.&lt;br /&gt;We laugh at Fuehrer Merkozy.&lt;br /&gt;God bless our beloved Berlaymont!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-2590057787953299323?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/2590057787953299323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/burning-berlaymont.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2590057787953299323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2590057787953299323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/burning-berlaymont.html' title='BURNING BERLAYMONT'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4o-TwDK1D7Q/T0tZIiYkheI/AAAAAAAAGDs/jhFl4wPwGPI/s72-c/EU12.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-9091976029675263268</id><published>2012-02-27T01:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-27T01:50:06.727-08:00</updated><title type='text'>FISCAL DISCIPLINE AND GROWTH MUST GO HAND IN HAND</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4pCsZWJCJ1g/T0tRevB3kUI/AAAAAAAAGDk/XNXruNZ8SDg/s1600/hats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="184" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4pCsZWJCJ1g/T0tRevB3kUI/AAAAAAAAGDk/XNXruNZ8SDg/s320/hats.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schaeuble asserts Fourth Reich needs a process that deals with  sovereign&lt;br /&gt;insolvencies, while solidarity in the bloc has its limits. There's  been a&lt;br /&gt;fundamental shift in how markets view sovereign debt, and preventing  contagion&lt;br /&gt;is a tremendous challenge. Now is the time for bold steps in Fourth  Reich. Now&lt;br /&gt;is the time to expel those member countries which violate the  Lisbon Treaty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  does not agree with those voices who say fiscal discipline must be at&lt;br /&gt;the  expense of growth and jobs. Barroso asserts fiscal discipline and growth&lt;br /&gt;must  go hand in hand. The EU 2020 Strategy sets key targets in the areas  of&lt;br /&gt;employment, research and innovation, education poverty reduction and  climate and&lt;br /&gt;energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basil Venitis points out Atlas shrugged in the  Cradle of Kleptocracy. It's&lt;br /&gt;impossible for Greeks to produce when  Graecokleptocrats loot them with heavy&lt;br /&gt;taxes, especially the 23% VAT, demand  kickbacks, confiscate computers and&lt;br /&gt;personal files, impose stupid laws and  regulations, harass dissident bloggers,&lt;br /&gt;condone cybercop brutality, and  spread the cancer of socialism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso says implementation of this  strategy is crucial to boosting our growth&lt;br /&gt;potential. The European Council  next week will confirm that the objectives and&lt;br /&gt;priorities of the strategy  remain fully valid, and Barroso sees much momentum&lt;br /&gt;among leaders not only to  make progress in all these fields, but also to see&lt;br /&gt;each others' progress as a  mutual concern of all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cradle of Kleptocracy should never have been  allowed to join the eurozone in&lt;br /&gt;the first place due to its long history of  kleptocracy, financial&lt;br /&gt;irresponsibility, and because Papademos lied about  Greece's financial condition,&lt;br /&gt;sending Trojan Horses to Brussels as budgets.  But Fourth Reich's great&lt;br /&gt;experiment with monetary union has been propelled  more by politics than&lt;br /&gt;economics. Once in the eurozone, Graecokleptocrats took  advantage of the&lt;br /&gt;stability it brought not to reform and improve  competitiveness, but to increase&lt;br /&gt;their kickbacks, and to amass debt at low  rates of interest to fund myriad&lt;br /&gt;sinecures in exchange for  votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso points out at EU level, our main growth lever besides the  Euro remains&lt;br /&gt;the Single Market. Yet only about 40% of all service sectors can  currently&lt;br /&gt;benefit from it. Barroso says we could and should have long had in  place a&lt;br /&gt;single European patent. We still do not have a true single market in  energy and&lt;br /&gt;in the digital economy. We cannot afford leaving this potential  unused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is little beyond venting their anger on the streets that  Greeks can do&lt;br /&gt;about it. Whatever happens as the depression unfolds, whether  Greece is expelled&lt;br /&gt;from Eurozone, years of painful reform and austerity  measures to straighten out&lt;br /&gt;the nation's finances are unavoidable. Like the  classic tragedies of ancient&lt;br /&gt;Greece, the players in this tragedy of modern  Greece can't avoid their tragic&lt;br /&gt;fate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To reduce red tape for SMEs the  Commission has just adopted a completely new&lt;br /&gt;approach which provides for  stronger exemptions for those companies from EU law.&lt;br /&gt;18 of our member states  have youth unemployment rates higher than 20%. To combat&lt;br /&gt;this unbearable  situation, Barroso has set up action teams together with member&lt;br /&gt;states that  are working to support those eight EU countries with the highest&lt;br /&gt;youth  unemployment rates, some of which at the level of almost 50%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Painful  adjustments will have to be made as Fourth Reich falls apart, PIGS  are&lt;br /&gt;expelled, and the Anglosphere confronts a challenge to its dominance  and&lt;br /&gt;competitiveness from rising BRICS. Greeks need to reform their economy,  abolish&lt;br /&gt;kleptocracy, abolish kangaroo justice, and put some Graecokleptocrats  in jail,&lt;br /&gt;in order to have any hope of a bright future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Commission  put forward a proposal to member states use EU project bonds –&lt;br /&gt;not Euro-Bonds  which is a completely different animal - to stimulate private&lt;br /&gt;financing of  key infrastructure projects. Like for energy interconnectors across&lt;br /&gt;national  borders, for broadband networks, for interoperable railway connections.&lt;br /&gt;In  other words: for completing the single market by supporting investments  in&lt;br /&gt;bottlenecks which private operators would hardly do on their  own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venitis notes there is no way any prudent investor will throw a euro  in the&lt;br /&gt;bankrupt Cradle of Kleptocracy, which is infested with blogbusters and  the&lt;br /&gt;cancer of socialism. More than two millennia ago, the Cradle of Democracy  was&lt;br /&gt;the leading light of Western civilization, the Graecoroman culture. Now  the&lt;br /&gt;Cradle of Kleptocracy is leading the way towards the decline of  that&lt;br /&gt;civilization. It's enough to inspire a new Sophocles with a  supertragedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso wants to keep credit flowing to businesses and  households even in times&lt;br /&gt;of financial turbulence, and to ensure and where  necessary restore the long-term&lt;br /&gt;stability of the banking system. The  financial sector has been and in some areas&lt;br /&gt;still needs to be placed on a new  set of precautionary rules and surveillance,&lt;br /&gt;at national, European and even  global level. Irresponsible behaviour in the&lt;br /&gt;financial sector is certainly  not exclusively responsible for the sovereign debt&lt;br /&gt;crisis. But at least it  has an important share in assuming this responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venitis says one  must be very stupid to invest in Greece, the land of huge&lt;br /&gt;bureaucracy, huge  corruption, heavy taxes, 23% VAT, kangaroo justice, police&lt;br /&gt;brutality, cancer  of socialism, and persecution of dissident bloggers. 90% of&lt;br /&gt;new businesses go  bankrupt within a year, and survivors are harassed and looted&lt;br /&gt;by  Graecokleptocrats. Businessmen are treated like criminals. Even  businesses&lt;br /&gt;with real losses have to pay heavy taxes, subject to ridiculous  pseudo-objective&lt;br /&gt;criteria! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  asserts we need a more robust, a more coherent, a more integrated&lt;br /&gt;economic  governance. Since the introduction of the Euro and the Stability and&lt;br /&gt;Growth  Pact, the Commission has issued many warnings against member states  about&lt;br /&gt;their excessive deficits, and has launched many infringement  procedures. But the&lt;br /&gt;reality is that member states were not following the  rules that they themselves&lt;br /&gt;had approved. This shows that you need an  independent and objective institution&lt;br /&gt;for carrying out this task. We have now  fortunately completely overhauled the&lt;br /&gt;rules on fiscal stability and made them  much stronger. Commission decisions are&lt;br /&gt;now becoming  quasi-automatic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso notes we now have rules and mechanisms of  coordination at European level&lt;br /&gt;with a much stronger degree of bindingness,  surveillance and enforcement. Nana&lt;br /&gt;Mouskouri says: The general negative  atmosphere at the Greeks is justified and&lt;br /&gt;correct. I'm really angry. I feel  ashamed. Greece needs Europe. Europe&lt;br /&gt;doesn't need Greece. All of this  lifestyle, the houses, the cars, the&lt;br /&gt;elections, were all funded by European  money. Now Europe has the right to be&lt;br /&gt;angry for not getting its money  back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso declares a Monetary Union cannot work without an Economic  Union. Because&lt;br /&gt;economic policies, good and bad ones, always impact on public  finances. And&lt;br /&gt;Barroso notes with a lot of interest and sympathy that Merkel  in a series of&lt;br /&gt;recent public speeches is already going one step further, by  seeing a Political&lt;br /&gt;Union the consequence of the completion of the Economic  and Monetary Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Merkel reinforces her opposition to eurobonds,  declaring that a communistic&lt;br /&gt;collectivization of debt would leave the bloc's  members worse off. This is&lt;br /&gt;communism, pure and simple! Germany, Europe's  largest economy, would face extra&lt;br /&gt;costs of a hundred billion euros a year  through the alignment of interest rates&lt;br /&gt;with nations that pay more to borrow.  Eurobonds lead us to a debt union, not to&lt;br /&gt;a stability union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving  eurobonds to PIGS is giving gin to alcoholics! Eurobonds create a&lt;br /&gt;transfer  union. Eurobonds would benefit profligate PIGS, especially corrupt&lt;br /&gt;Greece,  whose borrowing costs on the open market have become prohibitively&lt;br /&gt;expensive,  but they would expose fiscally sound countries like Germany to more&lt;br /&gt;risk,  increasing the country's low interest rates. Eurobonds would subsidize&lt;br /&gt;the  dolce vita of PIGS.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-9091976029675263268?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/9091976029675263268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/fiscal-discipline-and-growth-must-go.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/9091976029675263268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/9091976029675263268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/fiscal-discipline-and-growth-must-go.html' title='FISCAL DISCIPLINE AND GROWTH MUST GO HAND IN HAND'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4pCsZWJCJ1g/T0tRevB3kUI/AAAAAAAAGDk/XNXruNZ8SDg/s72-c/hats.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-3381086219906732355</id><published>2012-02-27T01:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-27T01:11:46.446-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BARROSO IS NOT READY TO GIVE UP ON GREECE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9BrWrzE5hGA/T0tIfZo6_AI/AAAAAAAAGDc/adR7qjXK9Vo/s1600/EU-Barroso.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9BrWrzE5hGA/T0tIfZo6_AI/AAAAAAAAGDc/adR7qjXK9Vo/s320/EU-Barroso.png" width="209" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I expect a full bankruptcy of the government of Greece, a disgusting  persecutor&lt;br /&gt;of dissident bloggers, the land of blogbusters. The Greek  government is the&lt;br /&gt;worst enemy of the Greek people! The stupidity, brutality,  corruption, freak,&lt;br /&gt;and kangaroo justice of the disgusting government of  Greece cause shock and awe!&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  declares that solving the sovereign debt crisis and facing the wider&lt;br /&gt;economic  challenges in Europe serves a common interest and therefore requires a&lt;br /&gt;common  effort. Any alternative is much more expensive, and much more  dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats have created a misery archipelago. The Greek  Ministry of&lt;br /&gt;Foreign Affairs is the most disgusting violator of the Lisbon  Treaty. Greeks&lt;br /&gt;are fed up with all Graecokleptocrats. Switzerland is now a  popular safe haven&lt;br /&gt;for Greek money. Greeks have deposited one trillion euros  in Swiss banks. &lt;br /&gt;Helping Graecokleptocrats is taxpayers' hard-earned money  blown out in the wind!&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats need a coup de grace now! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  recognises the heavy sacrifices which this crisis is imposing notably on&lt;br /&gt;the  most vulnerable groups in many of our societies. Therefore the efforts we&lt;br /&gt;are  making must not be in vain. They have a purpose, and the purpose is  to&lt;br /&gt;preserve the integrity of the Euro area and the EU as a whole, by placing  it on&lt;br /&gt;a stable and long-lasting basis, and thereby restoring the conditions  for growth&lt;br /&gt;and employment. That is our vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The major export of  Greece is Greeks themselves, immigrating to Anglosphere and&lt;br /&gt;Germany, running  away from kleptocracy, socialism, bureaucracy, heavy taxation,&lt;br /&gt;23% VAT,  cronyism, kangaroo justice, persecution of dissident bloggers,&lt;br /&gt;absurdity,  Pasok mafia, Nea Democratia mafia, and Orthodox mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue  cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic  eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause  shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of  your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=ckb1p1gfzaU40WMYuN3HqAp4Jrbe5M4VunhsUuksk4ynjm9SyaTGt4Vyb9bNlXwIT1KjltuU6_iYew"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  notes it is clear that this is a big and complex task which will not  be&lt;br /&gt;accomplished in a day. There are no quick fixes. We are embarked in Europe  on a&lt;br /&gt;root and branch reform of our budgetary and economic policies. This  naturally&lt;br /&gt;takes time. Barroso is thinking in some cases in terms of years,  not months.&lt;br /&gt;This is a process, not an event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europeans are sick and  tired of hoodwinks and dirty games of Graecokleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;blogbusters who  violate the Lisbon Treaty. Sarko says Graecokleptocrats are&lt;br /&gt;crazy and  depressed! Graecokleptocrats are haggling aboard Titanic in the ocean&lt;br /&gt;of  Greek indignation. Graecokleptocrats should be hanged in front of the  Grand&lt;br /&gt;Brothel on Syntagma Square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What matters more than anything else  is that we do not allow ourselves casting a&lt;br /&gt;shadow of doubt over our  determination to solve this problem. This applies to&lt;br /&gt;all sides, to those who  are in need of help, and to those who are able to help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece, the land  of kleptocracy, 23% VAT, and kangaroo justice, is a backward&lt;br /&gt;Balkan country  that persecutes dissident bloggers. The government of Greece is&lt;br /&gt;a freakish  blogbuster and the #1 enemy of the Greek people. That's why Greeks&lt;br /&gt;evade  taxes and cheat their government in any way they can. But it's very hard&lt;br /&gt;to  starve this beast. Papademos and the fifty Greek ministers, Snow White  and&lt;br /&gt;the fifty dwarfs, climax the Winter of Greek Indignation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clearcutforum/post?postID=ckb1p1gfzaU40WMYuN3HqAp4Jrbe5M4VunhsUuksk4ynjm9SyaTGt4Vyb9bNlXwIT1KjltuU6_iYew"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  declares confidence is the pre-requisite for growth. How can we expect&lt;br /&gt;others  to have confidence in the solidity of the European project if some of  us&lt;br /&gt;don't have it? Investors must have confidence that countries are capable  to&lt;br /&gt;service their debt. And consumers must have confidence about their  future&lt;br /&gt;because otherwise they will stop spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A small country like  Greece needs only four ministers. But Papademos cabinet is&lt;br /&gt;a gang of fifty  ministers, a theater of the absurd, huge inertia that cannot&lt;br /&gt;function  properly. Most of Snow White's fifty dwarfs are tragicomic ministers&lt;br /&gt;with a  consistent track record of spreading the cancer of socialism. They&lt;br /&gt;direct hoi  polloi, who run amuck in the streets, in the direction of the  cliff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso laments all the talking about disorderly default scenarios  precisely has&lt;br /&gt;this effect. It's counterproductive. We must break this vicious  circle and&lt;br /&gt;restore confidence. That must be our starting point. Take the  necessary&lt;br /&gt;decisions and then stick to them. The time for talking, negotiating  and&lt;br /&gt;re-negotiating should be over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Papademos cannot succeed without  justice. Prevalent is his inability to rein in&lt;br /&gt;the Ministry of Foreign  Affairs (MFA), which persecutes dissident bloggers,&lt;br /&gt;using the Cyber Crime  Unit (CCU) as a political tool. MFA terrorizes the&lt;br /&gt;blogosphere with charge  stacking. Kangaroo justice is the Achilles Heel of&lt;br /&gt;Papademos. If Greeks are  not treated fairly, how could they support him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso says the first  element of our strategy, of our comprehensive response to&lt;br /&gt;the crisis is  working for a lasting solution to the Greek debt crisis. The new&lt;br /&gt;Greek  programme has been adopted by the finance ministers of all Euro  area&lt;br /&gt;countries. It is supported by the Greek government and the Greek  parliament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece, the most corrupt country in Occident, is a kangaroo  valley! There is no&lt;br /&gt;justice, and perjurers are a dime a dozen. Dissident  bloggers are persecuted,&lt;br /&gt;and Graecokleptocrats enjoy impunity. Election to a  public office means a&lt;br /&gt;license to receive kickbacks, provide sinecures to kith  and kin, terrorize&lt;br /&gt;Greeks, blogbusting, and do as you please. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso  knows that some very tough decisions will need to be taken. However, it&lt;br /&gt;is a  distortion of the reality to say that the programme has worsened  the&lt;br /&gt;situation in Greece. Barroso is working with Greece to address  deep-seated&lt;br /&gt;structural problems which have led to a chronic decline in its  competitiveness&lt;br /&gt;over many years. And there is no alternative to consolidating  public debt if we&lt;br /&gt;want to avoid a hugely damaging uncontrolled default. The  programme is&lt;br /&gt;ultimately not about austerity. It is about restoring stability  to Greek public&lt;br /&gt;finances and creating the conditions for sustainable, lasting  growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vice-Chancellor Philipp Roesler warns Graecokleptocrats have a  choice, reforms&lt;br /&gt;within eurozone or no reforms and expulsion. There is no  third way. Shape up or&lt;br /&gt;ship out, pure and simple! The Greek government must  stop violating the Lisbon&lt;br /&gt;Treaty. Graecokleptocrats are ungrateful to  Germans, and at some point German&lt;br /&gt;patience will end. Germans are near the  limit of elasticity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-3381086219906732355?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/3381086219906732355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/barroso-is-not-ready-to-give-up-on.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3381086219906732355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3381086219906732355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/barroso-is-not-ready-to-give-up-on.html' title='BARROSO IS NOT READY TO GIVE UP ON GREECE'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9BrWrzE5hGA/T0tIfZo6_AI/AAAAAAAAGDc/adR7qjXK9Vo/s72-c/EU-Barroso.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-5720406053207537892</id><published>2012-02-27T00:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-27T00:48:42.708-08:00</updated><title type='text'>STOPPING THE CANCER OF EUROPEAN SOCIALISM</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tUXfwbuWu0k/T0tDJGcSoBI/AAAAAAAAGDU/XHliRqKI0B8/s1600/socialism2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tUXfwbuWu0k/T0tDJGcSoBI/AAAAAAAAGDU/XHliRqKI0B8/s320/socialism2.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vaclav Klaus asserts the main problem of Fourth Reich is the European  economic&lt;br /&gt;and social system that doesn't allow for a rapid economic growth.  The European&lt;br /&gt;soziale Marktwirtschaft, as it is called in German, prefers  social policy based&lt;br /&gt;on income redistribution to productive work. It prefers  free-time and long&lt;br /&gt;holidays to hard work. It prefers consumption to  investments, debts to savings,&lt;br /&gt;security to risk-taking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of it is  part of a broader civilizational and cultural problem, deeply&lt;br /&gt;rooted in the  European continent or in most of its countries. It can't be&lt;br /&gt;exterminated  overnight, it can't be changed as a result of one or another EU&lt;br /&gt;summit, it  can't be changed by painless cosmetic changes. It requires a deep&lt;br /&gt;systemic  change, something structurally similar to the task we had to accomplish&lt;br /&gt;two  decades ago in the moment of the fall of communism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europe needs a  comprehensive strategy to overcome a crisis which has deeply&lt;br /&gt;rooted  structural causes. Barroso declares Europe has that strategy. It is  a&lt;br /&gt;combination of elements which are inter-linked and which therefore must  be&lt;br /&gt;tackled together. We need smart fiscal consolidation so that debt in our  member&lt;br /&gt;states can become sustainable, but which maintains investments  in&lt;br /&gt;future-oriented areas, like educations, research,  innovation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso declares we need to boost growth and employment. We  must support but&lt;br /&gt;also reform the financial sector. We need strong financial  firewalls against&lt;br /&gt;contagion. We need a more integrated, a more coherent  economic governance in the&lt;br /&gt;EU and in particular in the Euro area. And of  course, last but not least, we&lt;br /&gt;need a lasting solution for  Greece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats have a long history of promising reforms and  not delivering,&lt;br /&gt;and this time is no different. After decades of using public  services as&lt;br /&gt;political spoils, Graecokleptocrats must also take on the  corruption and&lt;br /&gt;inefficiency they fostered before they can implement the  reforms that creditors&lt;br /&gt;demand before releasing further funds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalistsforever/post?postID=vTGQhk6PkFQhMy-Jb9f913u454J1Ex83i34drtTA6S_2VcdnzfwoHrqGjPaJ3FEB9KbWERmop9I"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During  the past years Barroso has been working in this direction day and  night.&lt;br /&gt;Barroso is the last to ignore the magnitude of the crisis in which we  are still&lt;br /&gt;in, and the long and difficult way which is still ahead of us.  Barroso is&lt;br /&gt;realistic but not pessimistic. Barroso is saying this because the  crisis is&lt;br /&gt;teaching us that we Europeans share a common destiny. What  reassures Barroso&lt;br /&gt;right now is that finally, after many years, the Europeans  appear ready to draw&lt;br /&gt;the right lessons from their interdependence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  failure of the rescue plan is due to slow implementation of  structural&lt;br /&gt;reforms, such as the opening up of markets and professions and  reducing&lt;br /&gt;political corruption. There is widespread skepticism because of a  long history&lt;br /&gt;of missed targets. Papademos is lying and  scaremongering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get Barroso wrong, but what is at stake today is  more than fixing a minus&lt;br /&gt;balance sheet, more than correcting a public  deficit, more than saving Greece.&lt;br /&gt;Europe is passing a historical test. The  world at large wants to know whether&lt;br /&gt;Europe and the Euro area in particular,  are able to solve a problem which, in&lt;br /&gt;relation to its overall size and  economic force, is a relatively minor one. In&lt;br /&gt;other words, they want to know  whether we want to exist as Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time Graecokleptocrats have to  receive a tranche of the money we're going&lt;br /&gt;to have the same problem. If they  keep missing targets, sooner or later they&lt;br /&gt;won't get the money. There is a  chance this is just delaying the inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats have  repeatedly voted in measures and privatizations that have&lt;br /&gt;never materialized.  It is proving a Herculean task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With one out of two youths now out of a  job and more and more families having to&lt;br /&gt;rely on one, trimmed down salary,  social discontent is bound to become&lt;br /&gt;explosive. Greek mayhem is not over yet.  On the contrary, this is just the&lt;br /&gt;beginning and we will see a huge revolt  against Graecokleptocracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barroso notes that because behind the  coulisses of a piece which is called&lt;br /&gt;sovereign debt crisis, there is a far  greater dimension behind it. A new page in&lt;br /&gt;world history is just being  written. This new chapter is about the new&lt;br /&gt;multi-polar world order and its  powers in the 21st century. It is now and today&lt;br /&gt;that Europe decides whether  it will be one of the players in this new order,&lt;br /&gt;whether it will be subject  or object. Yet at this stage, at this moment as we&lt;br /&gt;speak, Barroso sees many  positive signals but we do not know yet the conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond the  details of crisis management the question they are really interested&lt;br /&gt;in is a  very simple and fundamental one. What China, what India, what the US,&lt;br /&gt;what  Brazil and others want to be sure of is: Are you Europeans, is  Europe&lt;br /&gt;committed to do whatever is necessary to save the Euro, and to stay  together as&lt;br /&gt;European Union? Barroso asserts this is the question about which  we should leave&lt;br /&gt;no doubt. And this is the message that makes us credible  partners in our global&lt;br /&gt;efforts to restore economic growth, from the  transatlantic relations to the G20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than  smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your  people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency,  self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very  much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much  further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalistsforever/post?postID=vTGQhk6PkFQhMy-Jb9f913u454J1Ex83i34drtTA6S_2VcdnzfwoHrqGjPaJ3FEB9KbWERmop9I"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There  is an increasing probability that eurozone will break apart, or even  euro&lt;br /&gt;will be abandoned altogether. The warning signs are mounting, and fresh  news is&lt;br /&gt;adding to the gloom every day. Financial watchdogs all over the world  have&lt;br /&gt;instructed banks to brace for a possible break-up of eurozone. Banks  are&lt;br /&gt;conducting stress tests to prepare for this worst-case  scenario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The European treaties don't envisage nations leaving eurozone,  but a country can&lt;br /&gt;quit Fourth Reich and eurozone together. Such a departure  would take a long&lt;br /&gt;time, and investors could use that time to withdraw their  capital. So the&lt;br /&gt;country in question would suffer economic damage on its path  back into a&lt;br /&gt;national currency.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-5720406053207537892?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/5720406053207537892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/stopping-cancer-of-european-socialism.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5720406053207537892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5720406053207537892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/stopping-cancer-of-european-socialism.html' title='STOPPING THE CANCER OF EUROPEAN SOCIALISM'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tUXfwbuWu0k/T0tDJGcSoBI/AAAAAAAAGDU/XHliRqKI0B8/s72-c/socialism2.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-1188617293227423054</id><published>2012-02-26T22:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-26T22:59:56.643-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CORRUPTION AND INHUMANITY OF FREAKISH GRAECOKLEPTOCRATS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NamHcEZA-Nc/T0spkp63LYI/AAAAAAAAGDM/fT-uWtzw064/s1600/gr10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="231" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NamHcEZA-Nc/T0spkp63LYI/AAAAAAAAGDM/fT-uWtzw064/s320/gr10.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats span the gamut of political corruption. Bribe is the  gift&lt;br /&gt;bestowed to influence the recipient's conduct. Kickback is a payment to  a person&lt;br /&gt;in a position of power or influence for having made an income  possible.&lt;br /&gt;Embezzlement is outright theft of entrusted funds. Patronage is  favoring&lt;br /&gt;supporters. Nepotism is favoring kin. Cronyism is favoring kith.  Graft is an&lt;br /&gt;unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogbusters  galore! Freak! Freak! Freak! The freakish government of Greece,&lt;br /&gt;the most  corrupt country in Occident, steals computers! Robbing dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers and  locking them in jail is a freakish behavior that does not belong to&lt;br /&gt;the  European Union, not even to this galaxy! No wonder some vain Greeks  boast&lt;br /&gt;they come from Andromeda galaxy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats have made  their culture of corruption the norm of the national&lt;br /&gt;character of Greece. The  debasement of the Greek soul is due to huge political&lt;br /&gt;corruption, statist  propaganda, and religulous brainwashing. Plato and&lt;br /&gt;Aristotle asserted that  different regimes produce different types of human&lt;br /&gt;beings, and regimes ought  to be judged by the character of their citizens. In&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich, the growth  of interventionist welfare state has damaged personal&lt;br /&gt;responsibility and  integrity, fostered dependence, undermined families, rejected&lt;br /&gt;freedom, and  promoted corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Especially in Greece, the most corrupt country in  Occident, political corruption&lt;br /&gt;is accepted as a normal thing, and most Greeks  rely on bribes, graft, sinecures,&lt;br /&gt;cheating, incivility, nepotism, cronyism,  cancer of socialism, jingoism,&lt;br /&gt;iconolatry, perjury, lies, and kickbacks. The  character of modern Greece is the&lt;br /&gt;opposite of the character of ancient Greece  of Plato and Aristotle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accusing dissident bloggers of treason,  Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a&lt;br /&gt;blood libel in cyberspace, which in  turn incites hatred and violence. The&lt;br /&gt;freakish kangaroo justice government of  Greece is the only government on Earth&lt;br /&gt;which steals the computers of its  citizens! Infamous CCU is the brutal arm of&lt;br /&gt;the kangaroo government of  Greece, which terrorizes the cyberspace, stealing&lt;br /&gt;computers and files at  gunpoint, perjuring, jailing dissident bloggers, and&lt;br /&gt;gagging the truth. The  Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) is the most disgusting gang&lt;br /&gt;in Fourth  Reich!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in  a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and  declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the  invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis,  &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalismos/post?postID=DFe5I3zVmz2mOkYawe9QzuMlaQPx3i65GHkZqOmLyqfX9-sKt8dfaY2O0-Pk24NeBvAlO5WEt2sB"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece  is the queen of political corruption in Occident. The impunity of the&lt;br /&gt;300 MPs  of the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square is the most freakish thing on&lt;br /&gt;Earth.  Even though Graecokleptocrats looted many billion euros in kickbacks  and&lt;br /&gt;churning, not a single Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to jail!  &lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats are protected by the parliamentary immunity, and nobody  can&lt;br /&gt;touch them, no matter what. Moreover, they have the nerve to jail  dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers. It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas! Allons  enfants de&lt;br /&gt;la Grece!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece,  the most corrupt country in Occident, has become a kangaroo valley,&lt;br /&gt;violating  basic human rights and Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty, but nobody&lt;br /&gt;gives a  damn. I cannot understand why the European Commission tolerates&lt;br /&gt;political  persecution and freakish Kangaroo Justice within the borders of the&lt;br /&gt;European  Union and cannot refer the Greek government to the Court of Justice of&lt;br /&gt;the  European Union. I cannot understand why the European Commission  cannot&lt;br /&gt;protect Greeks from appalling violations of Article 2 of the Lisbon  Treaty by&lt;br /&gt;the Greek government. If the European Union cannot protect Greeks  from the&lt;br /&gt;repressive Greek government, who will? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael  Christoforakos, former president of the Greek subsidiary of Siemens,&lt;br /&gt;revealed  some names of the 200 Graecokleptocrats, who shared two billion euros&lt;br /&gt;in  kickbacks, to the prosecutor of Munich, where he escaped from Greece. He&lt;br /&gt;also  deposited all names with two public notaries in Munich, in case he  gets&lt;br /&gt;murdered by agents of Graecokleptocrats. This way he stays alive! But  the&lt;br /&gt;Greek government has not pressed charges against the 200  Graecokleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;because they are protected by immunity and they are in  power in Greece, members&lt;br /&gt;and ex-members of the Greek government and  parliament. You just cannot press&lt;br /&gt;charges against yourself! Moreover, the  Greek government does not even reveal&lt;br /&gt;their names for the voters to know who  they are voting for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christoforakos also revealed the names of twenty  journalists who received many&lt;br /&gt;million euros in kickbacks to keep their mouth  shut about the billion euro&lt;br /&gt;kickbacks to the 200 Graecokleptocrats. Needless  to say, those&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats who did not receive kickbacks are also  guilty, because they&lt;br /&gt;all knew about the bribery of their colleagues and said  nothing about it. The&lt;br /&gt;suitcases with the cash were whistling around them.  There is no way they could&lt;br /&gt;not hear all that loud whistling! So, in reality  we are talking about four&lt;br /&gt;hundred guilty people! Since Greeks continue to  vote for the same crooks again&lt;br /&gt;and again, they deserve what they  get!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The freakish government of Greece uses charge stacking to persecute  dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers. Charge stacking is the ability to charge a large number  of overlapping&lt;br /&gt;crimes for a single course of conduct. Combining crimes  enables prosecutors to&lt;br /&gt;get convictions in cases where there is no misconduct  at all. By stacking&lt;br /&gt;enough charges, including treason, Greek prosecutors jack  up the threat value of&lt;br /&gt;a trial against a dissident blogger, even if the  government's case is very weak.&lt;br /&gt;Charge stacking is terror. The disgusting  government of Greece cannot terrorize&lt;br /&gt;the Greek people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The largest  kickbacks originate in the military industry. Military procurement&lt;br /&gt;is a  corrupt business from top to bottom. The process is dominated by  advocacy,&lt;br /&gt;with few checks and balances. Most people in power love this system  of doing&lt;br /&gt;business and do not want it changed. War and preparation for war  systematically&lt;br /&gt;corrupt all parties to the state-private transactions by which  the government&lt;br /&gt;obtains the bulk of its military products. There is a standard  10% kickback to&lt;br /&gt;kleptocrats for military purchases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participants in  the military-industrial-kleptocrat complex (MIKC) are routinely&lt;br /&gt;blamed for  mismanagement, fraud, abuse, kickbacks, and waste (FAKW). All of&lt;br /&gt;these  unsavory actions, however, are typically viewed as aberrations,&lt;br /&gt;malfeasances  to be covered-up, while retaining the basic system of  state-private&lt;br /&gt;cooperation in the trade of military goods and services and the  flow of&lt;br /&gt;kickbacks. These offenses are in reality expressions of a  thoroughgoing,&lt;br /&gt;intrinsic rottenness in the entire setup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words  are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote  speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/capitalismos/post?postID=DFe5I3zVmz2mOkYawe9QzuMlaQPx3i65GHkZqOmLyqfX9-sKt8dfaY2O0-Pk24NeBvAlO5WEt2sB"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Persecuting  dissident bloggers, the outlaw government of Greece violates Article&lt;br /&gt;2 of the  Lisbon Treaty, which states the European Union is founded on the values&lt;br /&gt;of  respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law,  and&lt;br /&gt;respect for human rights. These values are common to the Member States in  a&lt;br /&gt;society in which pluralism, nondiscrimination, tolerance, and justice  prevail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know what happens at Olympics, an international  competition of steroids,&lt;br /&gt;not athletes. People feel well during the games, but  feel miserable after the&lt;br /&gt;games when they find out Olympics cost them ten  times more than projected, and&lt;br /&gt;most of it went to kickbacks of kleptocrats!  The Athens Olympics cost was&lt;br /&gt;projected to two billion euros, but it finally  cost Greek taxpayers 20 billion&lt;br /&gt;euros, with all that extra money going not to  the games, but to the private&lt;br /&gt;pockets of Graecokleptocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece  also violates Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights,&lt;br /&gt;which  states that everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right&lt;br /&gt;shall  include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information  and&lt;br /&gt;ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of  frontiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece also violates Article 19 of the Universal Declaration  of Human Rights&lt;br /&gt;(UDHR), which states that everyone has the right to freedom  of opinion and&lt;br /&gt;expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions  without interference&lt;br /&gt;and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas  through any media and&lt;br /&gt;regardless of frontiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greece also violates  Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the&lt;br /&gt;European Union  Everyone, which states that every citizen has the right to&lt;br /&gt;freedom of  expression. This right includes freedom to hold opinions and to&lt;br /&gt;receive and  impart information and ideas without interference by public&lt;br /&gt;authority and  regardless of frontiers.

The Soldiers, Airmen  and&lt;br /&gt;Sailors for Ron Paul took place at 6:00 p.m. EST at CMU's Plachta  Auditorium in&lt;br /&gt;Warriner Hall, located on the campus in Mount Pleasant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron  Paul also drew another large crowd to one of his campaign events, this  time&lt;br /&gt;to small business owners. The event took place at 4:00 p.m. EST at The  Pinnacle&lt;br /&gt;Center, located at 3330 Highland Drive at Hudsonville of  Michigan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Tom Davis points out it's easy to campaign on lower  taxes, less spending&lt;br /&gt;and fewer regulations – it's another thing entirely to  stand up for these&lt;br /&gt;limited government principles when the entire Washington  establishment is&lt;br /&gt;aligned against you. Yet for more than three decades Ron  Paul has cast thousands&lt;br /&gt;of lonely votes in our nation's capital based on the  constitutional principles&lt;br /&gt;that this country was founded on – and that the  Republican Party has promised to&lt;br /&gt;protect. Yet while generations of  politicians – including far too many&lt;br /&gt;Republicans – were losing their way or  caving to the status quo, Ron Paul was&lt;br /&gt;standing as a Tea Party of one against  a towering wave of red ink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I support Ron Paul for president of USA. But  in case Ron Paul did not get the&lt;br /&gt;Republican nomination, I would support Gary  Johnson of the Libertarian Party. &lt;br /&gt;Governor Johnson has an outstanding record  for vetoing legislation as former&lt;br /&gt;governor of New Mexico. He vetoed more  bills than all other governors in the&lt;br /&gt;country combined, stopping the  expansion of Big Government.&lt;br /&gt;A  sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech,  in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring  truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation  of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.

But Romney has been accused  of&lt;br /&gt;being out of touch with the economic struggles of hoi  polloi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romney says: If people think there's something wrong with being  successful in&lt;br /&gt;America, then they better vote for the other guy. Because I've  been&lt;br /&gt;extraordinarily successful, and I want to use that success and that  know-how to&lt;br /&gt;help the American people. Romney grew up in Michigan but faces a  tough primary&lt;br /&gt;fight after opposing Obama's bailout of the car  industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick Santorum blasts Romney as he tries to score an upset in  Michigan. He raises&lt;br /&gt;questions about Romney's opposition to car bailouts while  supporting bank&lt;br /&gt;bailouts during the 2008-09 financial crisis. An average of  polling data by&lt;br /&gt;RealClearPolitics shows Romney with just a 2-point lead over  Santorum in&lt;br /&gt;Michigan, where Romney's father was governor in the  1960s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santorum calls Obama a snob on Friday for wanting to send  Americans to college -&lt;br /&gt;where they would be indoctrinated by leftist  professors. Santorum declares&lt;br /&gt;Obama's goal devalues the tremendous work of  those who do not attend&lt;br /&gt;universities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dropping out is a smart strategy  of cutting losses short! Most top presidents&lt;br /&gt;and self-made billionaires  dropped out of high school or college! The list&lt;br /&gt;includes Bill  Gates(Microsoft), Larry Page(Google), Michael Dell(Dell), David&lt;br /&gt;Geffen(Geffen  Records), Steve Jobs(Apple), Richard Branson(Virgin), Ralph&lt;br /&gt;Lauren(Ralph  Lauren), Jerry Yang(Yahoo) and Zuckerberg(Facebook). Zuckerberg and&lt;br /&gt;Gates  went to Harvard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page and Yang both attended Stanford. Jobs only  completed one semester at Reed&lt;br /&gt;College in Portland, Oregon. Dell left the  University of Texas at 19. Geffen&lt;br /&gt;dropped out of three universities before  launching his record label. Lauren went&lt;br /&gt;to Baruch College in New York City,  but left after two years. Branson, a mild&lt;br /&gt;dyslexic, never made it out of high  school. Han Han, the world's most popular&lt;br /&gt;blogger, dropped out of high school  in China. Ford Motors founder, Henry Ford,&lt;br /&gt;never had any formal education,  outside his training as a machinist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than  smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your  people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency,  self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very  much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much  further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bounceoff/post?postID=GPFMfuGazrvc8gtORLnjIB0v1uUSq2O-2dB23k6haQvlJo8qBtWhKeXzDn4zA-M3b3qbj37sI6A"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santorum  says: We have some real problems at our college campuses with  political&lt;br /&gt;correctness, with an ideology that is forced upon people who, you  know, who may&lt;br /&gt;not agree with the politically correct left doctrine. And one  of the things that&lt;br /&gt;I've spoken out on - and will continue to speak out - is  to make sure that&lt;br /&gt;conservative and more mainstream, common-sense conservative  principles that have&lt;br /&gt;made this country great are reflected in our college  courses and with college&lt;br /&gt;professors. And at many, many, and I would argue  most institutions in this&lt;br /&gt;country, that simply isn't the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;College  education is waste of time and money. The college bubble will burst&lt;br /&gt;soon,  tearing down all ivory towers. The college degree payback is very long,  an&lt;br /&gt;expensive education is not a guarantee to higher real wages, and it is not  worth&lt;br /&gt;going to debt to finance it. A widespread public skepticism is fueled  by poor&lt;br /&gt;job prospects. Real wages, that is, what you earned after you  subtracted&lt;br /&gt;inflation and taxes, entered a freefall in the past two decades.  Rather than be&lt;br /&gt;out of work, most citizens quietly settled for lower real  wages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A college education has a value relative to future earnings,  vocational success,&lt;br /&gt;and its ability to lift you above the economic burdens of  underemployment and&lt;br /&gt;stagnant earnings. Right now, that equation just doesn't  measure up. The reward&lt;br /&gt;to risk ratio of college education is the lowest of  all possible investments.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-4279087350087221861?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/4279087350087221861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/ron-paul-mitt-romney-and-rick-santorum.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/4279087350087221861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/4279087350087221861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/ron-paul-mitt-romney-and-rick-santorum.html' title='RON PAUL, MITT ROMNEY, AND RICK SANTORUM FIGHT FOR MICHIGAN'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-53QPW74Szqk/T0sNMyGZCmI/AAAAAAAAGC8/_qXxfXCWGig/s72-c/a2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-3961243924202406705</id><published>2012-02-26T10:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-26T10:24:00.346-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BARBAROUS BLOGBUSTERS OF GRAECOKLEPTOCRACY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FrvOxcE4Lcw/T0p4eh2yFXI/AAAAAAAAGC0/knPiwY3hZ64/s1600/Kangaroo+Justice5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FrvOxcE4Lcw/T0p4eh2yFXI/AAAAAAAAGC0/knPiwY3hZ64/s1600/Kangaroo+Justice5.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Greek government has invented a way of terrorizing dissident bloggers  with&lt;br /&gt;frivolous charge stacking and perpetual delay of justice. The  government&lt;br /&gt;accuses a dissident blogger with many charges, including treason,  in order to&lt;br /&gt;intimidate the blogger. Besides, a charge might stick like  throwing spaghetti&lt;br /&gt;on the wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, no accuser shows up during  the trial, the judge postpones the trial&lt;br /&gt;for another six months, and so it  goes ad infinitum in order to break the nerves&lt;br /&gt;of the blogger in a perpetual  sequence of agony, huge legal expenses, and&lt;br /&gt;humiliation. Perpetual delay of  justice is being used as a punishment without&lt;br /&gt;trial. This amounts to routine  summary punishment of the presumed innocent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October of 2010, an  unknown American, member of Crystal Clear Forum, an&lt;br /&gt;American Yahoo Group,  used as pseudonym the name of Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou,&lt;br /&gt;Alternate Minister  of Foreign Affairs of Greece, to post a single message about&lt;br /&gt;Turkey. The  unknown American did not violate any law because, according to the&lt;br /&gt;Supreme  Court of USA, anybody can use any pseudonym or pen name. For  example,&lt;br /&gt;thousands of people use Obama's name as a pseudonym. It's considered  an honor,&lt;br /&gt;not a forgery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only  spoofing is forgery. The unknown American would have used spoofing if  she&lt;br /&gt;used Xenogiannakopoulou's email which is &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blowback/post?postID=LekY00EFQ358iCyL5p0UxiBSLFNE49YCeIt0hmSLjmEunSUFPfWtwwp9K6U0kShx7aD4PKsULzdW6g"&gt;marilxen@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Instead she used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blowback/post?postID=A1CTEABCM8K_NpUa6-v29NAWQgCeZE4gctvbmK3tfOcsD6r-EgqfNu1V8E6ZskQAcFa5Gnzfd_z3gTeF1sL2QcGwJ7uz2h4tz9qoRgA"&gt;mariliza.xenogiannakopoulou@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;  which is not Xenogiannakopoulou's email.&lt;br /&gt;The unknown American posted on &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum"&gt;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with  her pseudonym using a kind of literature called Lyric Essay, which  uses&lt;br /&gt;emotion and color to enlighten a message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some malevolent  characters misinformed Xenogiannakopoulou that the culprit was&lt;br /&gt;I, Basil  Venitis, just because my name was mentioned in the post! As a result&lt;br /&gt;of this  misinformation, on October 18, 2010, a gang of six brutal cybercops of&lt;br /&gt;the  violent Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) broke into my home in Athens and into&lt;br /&gt;my  college office, and stole my computers, software, files, documents,  and&lt;br /&gt;personal data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cybercops locked me in jail for a night, they  humiliated me with handcuffs,&lt;br /&gt;fingerprints, mug shots, and lies, leaked false  information to the media&lt;br /&gt;parrots, and the Greek government initiated sham  court proceedings for a stack&lt;br /&gt;of charges, including forgery and treason!  There was neither pillow nor toilet&lt;br /&gt;facility in my jail cell. I had to  urinate in a bottle! I, a 65 year old with&lt;br /&gt;heart problems, was not allowed to  keep my hypertension pills with me. There&lt;br /&gt;was neither toilet paper nor soap  in the whole CCU jail facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's not the end of the story. My  nerves are broken by no accuser showing&lt;br /&gt;up during my court trial! The judge  always has to postpone the trial for&lt;br /&gt;another day and so it goes ad infinitum.  Meanwhile, I always have to show up&lt;br /&gt;and waste the whole day waiting as there  is no definite timing for the hearing,&lt;br /&gt;but only a day. I and my lawyer have  to be in the courtroom the whole day until&lt;br /&gt;the judge calls my name. Then the  judge calls the name of the accuser, nobody&lt;br /&gt;replies, and the judge postpones  the trial for another day. This has happened&lt;br /&gt;five times so far! This is a  real Greek tragedy! Justice delayed is no&lt;br /&gt;justice, justice perpetuated is  hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAILBIRD FOR A NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;By Basil Venitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blowback/post?postID=N6qpilXD9EJUpN5AgfmFsgsRmoORHPtf8BGv-0YM1g9zJ5qKd1_Eh-De0kB8lhhE4UlvTpa3Opl_Rg"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big  brother checks the internet&lt;br /&gt;For things you criticize&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mouth on  the net&lt;br /&gt;To shut your mind on the sky.&lt;br /&gt;Cops busted my home&lt;br /&gt;And stole my  computer&lt;br /&gt;Hard disk on their comb&lt;br /&gt;blogger on their mooter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They  threw me in jail&lt;br /&gt;For speaking my mind&lt;br /&gt;My words are out of  jail&lt;br /&gt;Revolting in a kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This jail is awful&lt;br /&gt;Without pillow  alone&lt;br /&gt;Urinating in a bottle&lt;br /&gt;And the girl next cell begins to  moan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screaming in the dark of jail&lt;br /&gt;Guards pretending they are  deaf&lt;br /&gt;She is a girl, she is frail&lt;br /&gt;She is missing her Jeff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can  smile at the old days,&lt;br /&gt;I was a handsome professor then.&lt;br /&gt;Those were real  happy days&lt;br /&gt;Happy memory lives again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesmiserables in  jail&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats out of jail&lt;br /&gt;This is hell on Earth&lt;br /&gt;It's shame and  pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time for a real revolt&lt;br /&gt;To bring a real change&lt;br /&gt;To bring the  looting to a halt&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats should not escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kleptocrats must be  laughing&lt;br /&gt;Premier must be happy,&lt;br /&gt;This is stupid and  disgusting,&lt;br /&gt;Government has a party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harmglads sleeping before  dawn&lt;br /&gt;Silence cut with a cry&lt;br /&gt;Jailbird could be reborn&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to a  happy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My memory leads me&lt;br /&gt;Finding strength within&lt;br /&gt;People  really love me&lt;br /&gt;A new life should begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for the  sunrise&lt;br /&gt;Thinking of a new life&lt;br /&gt;I mustn't give in&lt;br /&gt;A new day will  begin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-3961243924202406705?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/3961243924202406705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/barbarous-blogbusters-of_26.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3961243924202406705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3961243924202406705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/barbarous-blogbusters-of_26.html' title='BARBAROUS BLOGBUSTERS OF GRAECOKLEPTOCRACY'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FrvOxcE4Lcw/T0p4eh2yFXI/AAAAAAAAGC0/knPiwY3hZ64/s72-c/Kangaroo+Justice5.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-5491285714049033210</id><published>2012-02-26T09:48:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-26T12:31:17.140-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PUTINLANDIANS FORMED A HUMAN CHAIN AROUND MOSCOW'S CENTER</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The Putinlandians stood side by side around the  wide 16-km&lt;br /&gt;Moscow Garden Ring Road, wearing white ribbons that symbolize  their opposition&lt;br /&gt;to Putin and blown-up condoms - mocking Putin for saying he  mistook the white&lt;br /&gt;ribbons they pin to their coats for contraceptives!  Putinlandians chanting&lt;br /&gt;Russia-without-Putin waved at cars which hooted back  in support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putin is certain to win the presidential election on March 4.  Welcome to&lt;br /&gt;Putinland, where the president and prime minister swap jobs at  will,&lt;br /&gt;where the constitution is an empty shell and all power rests with  Vladimir&lt;br /&gt;Putin. The deal between Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev is a  farce that will&lt;br /&gt;eventually transform Putinland to Putanaland! The proud  Russian nation is now a&lt;br /&gt;czardom. Russian democracy is gone with the wind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  intransigence of Vladimir Putin, who is showing no sign of ceding  to&lt;br /&gt;protesters' demands for free and fair elections, might be just the  impetus&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's civil society needs to spur it into existence. The  organizers of&lt;br /&gt;Putinland's protests have gone to great lengths to avoid  violence.&lt;br /&gt;Anti-corruption bloggers appeal to Putinland's liberal  intelligentsia and might&lt;br /&gt;be able to channel rising nationalism in a  constructive direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a  post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring  my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe. That's why I look  forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference.  Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/athenians/post?postID=e0jmJA6nWZ4gNMfflpSsv_154d-JW-hw0hdlDIkEySzxI-SL61SRUdsbeIYPcqxSsPwEqxyRH2d4wg"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  electoral game Putin is playing is castling in chess – a saint and a  czar&lt;br /&gt;swapping places, in order to shore up the defense. There might be  defense at the&lt;br /&gt;heart of the strategy, but Putin's ruling party, United  Putinland, is still the&lt;br /&gt;only game in Moscow. Vladimir Putin is the most  powerful man in the world. His&lt;br /&gt;success is all the more venerable when one  considers that Putin is leader of a&lt;br /&gt;country of nearly 150 million people —  and at the helm of the one of the world's&lt;br /&gt;most important  economies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words  of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension  of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/athenians/post?postID=e0jmJA6nWZ4gNMfflpSsv_154d-JW-hw0hdlDIkEySzxI-SL61SRUdsbeIYPcqxSsPwEqxyRH2d4wg"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  current double-headed eagle of President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime  Minister&lt;br /&gt;Vladimir Putin has become increasingly authoritarian. Despite  numerous&lt;br /&gt;commitments under international law, the government has tightened  controls on&lt;br /&gt;political life, civil society, and the media. Disruption of  political&lt;br /&gt;opposition's activities, restricting access to state-controlled TV,  human right&lt;br /&gt;violations, such as the beating of demonstrators who support the  Russian&lt;br /&gt;constitution, murder of journalists and anti-corruption activists,  disappearance&lt;br /&gt;and torture, abuse of the legal system for monetary and  political gain, all&lt;br /&gt;illustrate this negative trend. Putin, a former penniless  KGB agent, is now&lt;br /&gt;billionaire, thanks to kickbacks!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-5491285714049033210?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/5491285714049033210/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/putinlandians-formed-human-chain-around.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5491285714049033210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/5491285714049033210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/putinlandians-formed-human-chain-around.html' title='PUTINLANDIANS FORMED A HUMAN CHAIN AROUND MOSCOW&apos;S CENTER'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TeJejg7z4q0/T0pv-UpGnFI/AAAAAAAAGCk/80W_8nVPR18/s72-c/a3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-3582400027854855945</id><published>2012-02-26T08:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-26T08:29:59.608-08:00</updated><title type='text'>GUTTENBERG AND CLINTON'S UNGLUCKSRABES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ll4Y7r7nCbI/T0pdtbitSWI/AAAAAAAAGCc/xXq2EXYSEuE/s1600/a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="208" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ll4Y7r7nCbI/T0pdtbitSWI/AAAAAAAAGCc/xXq2EXYSEuE/s320/a1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Occidental centers in Egypt, mainly promoting Clinton's brand of feminism  and&lt;br /&gt;Guttenberg's brand of democracy, got in big trouble. Forty-three  unglucksrabe&lt;br /&gt;foreign and Egyptian non-profit workers are accused of receiving  illegal funds&lt;br /&gt;from abroad and carrying out political activities unrelated to  their civil&lt;br /&gt;society work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is happening in Egypt right now is a  transition from a dictatorship to&lt;br /&gt;another dictatorship. In transitions, they  are inherently uncertain and you&lt;br /&gt;can't judge them on a minute-by-minute  basis. You really have to take a kind of&lt;br /&gt;long view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karl-Theodor  Guttenberg is the Czar of Cyberincitement. He has been appointed by&lt;br /&gt;Neelie  Kroes with specific instructions to cooperate with Hillary Clinton to use&lt;br /&gt;the  social media for Occidental propaganda, especially to incite people  to&lt;br /&gt;overthrow their antioccidental governments. Mission impossible! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Theory of Critical Mass proves that you only need a few  fireflies,&lt;br /&gt;influential people, to reach a critical mass, tipping point, for a  chain&lt;br /&gt;reaction of people. It might take a long time to reach the tipping  point, but&lt;br /&gt;after that point things happen in a very short time, like an  atomic bomb. &lt;br /&gt;Therefore Guttenberg's mission is to find fireflies of  propaganda for a critical&lt;br /&gt;mass of people to propagate Occidental ideas to the  rest of the world. Using&lt;br /&gt;internet as a propaganda tool turns global politics  upside down, but it saves&lt;br /&gt;trillions of dollars in unnecessary  wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This mindless promotion of Occidental culture and Occidental  kleptocracy&lt;br /&gt;alienates the governments targeted and will motivate them to harm  Occident in&lt;br /&gt;some manner. Thousands of young and naive people will die at the  hands of the&lt;br /&gt;regimes they are instigated to overthrow by the  democracy-pushing kleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;all of whom are safe and secure in Washington  and Brussels, inspiring&lt;br /&gt;pseudoheroic vanity. A libertarian  non-interventionist policy will allow&lt;br /&gt;foreigners to work out their political  destiny in their own way and at their own&lt;br /&gt;pace, prevent unnecessary additions  to Occident's growing list of enemies,&lt;br /&gt;prevent the clash of cultures, and  save countless young lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained  in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to eyeball contact,  baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/speakoutforum/post?postID=3LN-kM5j9b8IUY_A3bnPf0-EkFR4pMLo59OFKs2zK2u_tyJ50bsJaqKi03Yh50l-mTl3QUxaSRsRVq1E"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge  Mahmud Shukry adjourned the trial until April 26, giving more time for  a&lt;br /&gt;diplomatic solution to the case. The time set allows for the NGO law to  be&lt;br /&gt;amended and this could leave room for lawyers to argue that the defendants  are&lt;br /&gt;not guilty. Shukry said the defendants were free to leave the court and  would&lt;br /&gt;not be held in detention until the next hearing, but they were banned  from&lt;br /&gt;leaving Egypt pending the trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year after the revolution in  Tahrir Square, Egypt is run by the military. This&lt;br /&gt;is not what the people died  in Tahrir Square for. Additionally, the economy is&lt;br /&gt;worsening, and the  country's recent parliamentary election failed to produce a&lt;br /&gt;parliament  reflective of the people's ambitions for a more liberal and&lt;br /&gt;pluralistic  country. Instead, the new parliament is dominated by Islamists who&lt;br /&gt;include  not only the Muslim Brotherhood but the terrorist Salafis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We condemn the  gender-based violence against women that is on the rise at all&lt;br /&gt;levels of  Egyptian society. It began in 2005 with the government's systematic&lt;br /&gt;campaign  of sexually assaulting and intimidating female activists and&lt;br /&gt;journalists.  When the regime attacks women and holds no one accountable, it&lt;br /&gt;sends out a  signal that women are fair game. When the street then attacks women&lt;br /&gt;and the  police stands by and does nothing, that continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A recent survey  conducted by the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights showed that&lt;br /&gt;more than 80  percent of Egyptian women face sexual harassment, groping, and&lt;br /&gt;unwanted  sexual attention. This is a problem the Egyptian people must not  hide&lt;br /&gt;from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty  words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new  dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization,  enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at  your conference in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

There is something about gender-based violence in&lt;br /&gt;Egypt that  is horrific. We have to look it in the eye and we must speak out&lt;br /&gt;about it,  not just when it is the regime that is doing it to women, but when&lt;br /&gt;it's  Egyptian men on the civilian level who are doing it to women.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-3582400027854855945?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/3582400027854855945/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/guttenberg-and-clintons-unglucksrabes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3582400027854855945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/3582400027854855945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/guttenberg-and-clintons-unglucksrabes.html' title='GUTTENBERG AND CLINTON&apos;S UNGLUCKSRABES'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ll4Y7r7nCbI/T0pdtbitSWI/AAAAAAAAGCc/xXq2EXYSEuE/s72-c/a1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-2295361562149888565</id><published>2012-02-26T03:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-26T03:43:50.589-08:00</updated><title type='text'>EUROKLEPTOCRATS ARE LOSING TOUCH WITH REALITY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hzJ98B2eHOs/T0oasn1YurI/AAAAAAAAGCU/oEOsLkiUCXc/s1600/EU5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="197" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hzJ98B2eHOs/T0oasn1YurI/AAAAAAAAGCU/oEOsLkiUCXc/s320/EU5.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Eurokleptocrats are losing touch with reality. Greece is broke, and yet  Brussels&lt;br /&gt;sends Graecokleptocrats billions in new loans. This is  understandable, given&lt;br /&gt;that abandoning portions of their claims against Greece  would translate into&lt;br /&gt;substantial losses. But cutting losses short is the  golden rule of markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Schaeuble assumes Merkel will get the  necessary support in Bundestag on&lt;br /&gt;Monday for the second bailout of Greece.  But Bundestag, Bundesrat, Bundesbank,&lt;br /&gt;and Karlsruhe resent squandering German  taxpayers' hard-earned money for&lt;br /&gt;bankrupt Graecokleptocrats. Especially,  Vice-Chancellor Philipp Roesler and&lt;br /&gt;Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle are  smart libertarians, and they cannot be&lt;br /&gt;hoodwinked by  Graecokleptocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats' program is already hopelessly  behind schedule, in terms of&lt;br /&gt;both the sale of government property and the  agreed reforms. It's like dealing&lt;br /&gt;with children that constantly have to be  told to clean up their rooms. Troika is&lt;br /&gt;very angry. Everyone is irritated  over the lack of progress of&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue  cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic  eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause  shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of  your&lt;br /&gt;organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/purecapitalism/post?postID=SKRFWAPhF1uKBRJjDP-kTlYZxDIEKB57KrkK7ydJ7n17HaK_vo5DRkZb4k0XEBSHeeyqu9Dk0aNzgY0z"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Greek bailout is the heroin of Graecokleptocrats. It feels good in the&lt;br /&gt;short  term for the Graecokleptocrats, but it doesn't help repair the Greek&lt;br /&gt;economy,  causing more damage, because it gets in the way of a proper recovery.  &lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats hoodwink that acquisition of its heroin is a heroic act,  but&lt;br /&gt;heroin is not heroine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats consider Fourth Reich a  processor of ESM poppies. But EU's&lt;br /&gt;poppy tears bring Greek tears! ESM is not  the opium of the masses. ECB is not&lt;br /&gt;a morphine exchange, and Fuehrer Merkozy  is not a heroin trader. Dehydrated&lt;br /&gt;Greek economy must drink water, not opium  latex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schaeuble says a decision on the need to boost the size of ESM  will be taken in&lt;br /&gt;March. That'll be in time for the International Monetary  Fund to decide about an&lt;br /&gt;increase of its lending capacity at its meeting in  Washington on April 20-22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schaeuble assumes IMF will provide the  necessary support for the second bailout&lt;br /&gt;for Greece. But Christine Lagarde of  IMF has made it absolutely clear she does&lt;br /&gt;not trust Graecokleptocrats,  because they never apply what they vote in the&lt;br /&gt;Grand Brothel on Syntagma  Square! All Europeans condemn Graecokleptocrats for&lt;br /&gt;creating hundred state  agencies and hiring many thousands of public employees,&lt;br /&gt;even though they  promised Troika to close down all agencies and fire many public&lt;br /&gt;employees.  Some executives at state enterprises have annual salaries of 300,000&lt;br /&gt;euros!  Greeks wonder why the bank accounts of rich ministers have not been&lt;br /&gt;opened  and why major tax evaders have not been arrested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Socialists would like  to see ECB bring out the bazooka, in other words,&lt;br /&gt;undertake massive purchases  of government bonds to resolve the crisis. An ECB&lt;br /&gt;bazooka cannot restore  competitiveness to PIGS, but would only encourage&lt;br /&gt;profligacy, kleptocracy,  and metastasis of the cancer of socialism. European&lt;br /&gt;Stability Mechanism (ESM)  is a joke. ESM's finances depend on the very same&lt;br /&gt;countries that it is  supposed to bail out. This isn't stability, but a  Ponzi&lt;br /&gt;scheme!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germany's priority on the ESM is deciding how quickly  countries should pay into&lt;br /&gt;the fund if we want it actually to enter into force  this summer. Schaeuble&lt;br /&gt;points out there has been a broad tendency, but no  decision, to pay capital into&lt;br /&gt;the ESM in two tranches instead of an  originally envisaged five installments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bundesbank President Jens  Weidmann declares Germany is making an important&lt;br /&gt;contribution to solving the  debt crisis. Financial aid can only buy time that&lt;br /&gt;needs to be used to improve  competitiveness and restore confidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weidmann vehemently rejects  ongoing demands that ECB embark on an aggressive&lt;br /&gt;bond-buying program. It's  like an alcoholic saying that I need to get a bottle&lt;br /&gt;tonight, starting  tomorrow I will be clean and abide by the rules, but I need&lt;br /&gt;the bottle  tonight. Weidmann doesn't think it is sensible to give the alcoholic&lt;br /&gt;the  bottle. The alcoholic won't have an incentive to solve the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart  words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a  charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of  organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm,  belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I would like very much to speak at your conference  in order to explain critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

The warning signs are mounting, and fresh  news is&lt;br /&gt;adding to the gloom every day. Financial watchdogs all over the world  have&lt;br /&gt;instructed banks to brace for a possible break-up of eurozone. Banks  are&lt;br /&gt;conducting stress tests to prepare for this worst-case  scenario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The European treaties don't envisage nations leaving eurozone,  but a country can&lt;br /&gt;quit Fourth Reich and eurozone together. Such a departure  would take a long&lt;br /&gt;time, and investors could use that time to withdraw their  capital. So the&lt;br /&gt;country in question would suffer economic damage on its path  back into a&lt;br /&gt;national currency.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-2295361562149888565?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/2295361562149888565/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/eurokleptocrats-are-losing-touch-with.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2295361562149888565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2295361562149888565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/eurokleptocrats-are-losing-touch-with.html' title='EUROKLEPTOCRATS ARE LOSING TOUCH WITH REALITY'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hzJ98B2eHOs/T0oasn1YurI/AAAAAAAAGCU/oEOsLkiUCXc/s72-c/EU5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-6435440594471120314</id><published>2012-02-25T23:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-25T23:11:22.718-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MEXICO G20 JUNKET IS BEWILDERED ABOUT THE FOUR PIGS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YGlAWPIVvOo/T0navVf9oFI/AAAAAAAAGCM/lHDsH1PD620/s1600/a2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YGlAWPIVvOo/T0navVf9oFI/AAAAAAAAGCM/lHDsH1PD620/s320/a2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Finance leaders from the Group of 20, meeting in Mexico City this weekend,  are&lt;br /&gt;trying to build up massive international resources by the end of April.  They are&lt;br /&gt;demanding that Fourth Reich build up its war chest first and then  other G20&lt;br /&gt;countries would contribute extra money to IMF. The plan is to merge  Fourth&lt;br /&gt;Reich's temporary and permanent bailout funds, EFSF and ESM, to create  one 750&lt;br /&gt;billion-euro ($1 trillion) fund.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Schaeuble is worried  that the root causes of Fourth Reich's problems&lt;br /&gt;have not been tackled  sufficiently and will not shift in course on issues such&lt;br /&gt;as common euro zone  bonds as well as bigger bailout funds. Olli Rehn declares&lt;br /&gt;that in order to  overcome the crisis, you have to get ahead of the curve and&lt;br /&gt;have a big enough  bazooka. A deal is unlikely to come in time for a summit of&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich  leaders next week which could nonetheless reveal some flexibility&lt;br /&gt;by  Merkel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eurozone paymaster Germany ratchets up the pressure on  Graecokleptocrats, saying&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Reich needs action, not words. Schaeuble  declares promises of&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocrats on reform are no longer good enough,  because so many vows have&lt;br /&gt;been broken and the country, which has been a  bottomless pit, has to&lt;br /&gt;dramatically change its ways. Schaeuble cannot  understand why Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;add insult to injury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogbusters  galore! Freak! Freak! Freak! The freakish government of Greece,&lt;br /&gt;the most  corrupt country in Occident, steals computers! Robbing dissident&lt;br /&gt;bloggers and  locking them in jail is a freakish behavior that does not belong to&lt;br /&gt;the  European Union, not even to this galaxy! No wonder some vain Greeks  boast&lt;br /&gt;they come from Andromeda galaxy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germany appears to be playing  for time. It faces a critical vote on Monday to&lt;br /&gt;win support in the German  parliament for Greece's second bailout. Bundestag,&lt;br /&gt;Bundesrat, Bundesbank, and  Karlsruhe resent squandering German taxpayers'&lt;br /&gt;hard-earned money for bankrupt  Graecokleptocrats. Especially, Vice-Chancellor&lt;br /&gt;Philipp Roesler and Foreign  Minister Guido Westerwelle are smart libertarians,&lt;br /&gt;and they cannot be  hoodwinked by Graecokleptocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar votes are scheduled in the  Netherlands and Finland next week. Europeans&lt;br /&gt;are sick and tired of hoodwinks  and dirty games of Graecokleptocrats,&lt;br /&gt;blogbusters who violate the Lisbon  Treaty. Sarko says Graecokleptocrats are&lt;br /&gt;crazy and depressed!  Graecokleptocrats are haggling aboard Titanic in the ocean&lt;br /&gt;of Greek  indignation. Graecokleptocrats should be hanged in front of the Grand&lt;br /&gt;Brothel  on Syntagma Square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germany wants to see whether enough investors sign up  for Greece's debt swap.&lt;br /&gt;Hedge funds, pissed off by my persecution, refuse to  accept any haircut on Greek&lt;br /&gt;government bonds of blogbusters. Bondholders are  hoodwinked to give up some 100&lt;br /&gt;billion euros of their investment in the  pseudovoluntary bond swap, but hedge&lt;br /&gt;funds will not participate, case closed,  pure and simple. But ratcheting up&lt;br /&gt;pressure on hedge funds, Premier Papademos  introduced legislation forcing&lt;br /&gt;creditors to take losses on their  holdings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One way to force hedge funds came by way of the Grand Brothel  on Syntagma&lt;br /&gt;Square. It passed legislation forcing private lenders to accept a  debt&lt;br /&gt;reduction. Fourth Reich and IMF were desperate to avoid passage of such  a law,&lt;br /&gt;which is a declaration of a disorderly default.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive  issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that  magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths  that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and awe.

The three largest credit&lt;br /&gt;rating  agencies (CRA) – Moody's, Standard &amp;amp; Poor's, Fitch – are ready  to&lt;br /&gt;downgrade the four PIGS again. PIGS have been spending more than they've  earned&lt;br /&gt;for decades. But the Germans have enjoyed particularly good earnings  from the&lt;br /&gt;profligacy of PIGS. Cohesion policy is a socialistic scheme to rob  hard-working&lt;br /&gt;Northern Europeans to give lazy pigsizens. But Northern  Europeans resent&lt;br /&gt;supporting the dolce vita of pigsizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All pigsizens  demand dolce vita, all evade and avoid taxes, all hate government,&lt;br /&gt;and many  respect omerta. Pigsizens prefer to detach themselves from reality. One&lt;br /&gt;can  do that for a while, but now the capital markets are suggesting those  days&lt;br /&gt;are over. Either you face up to&lt;br /&gt;reality or you will be  punished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Northern Fourthreichians have the strong suspicion that some of  their hard work&lt;br /&gt;is going down the drain with the hundreds of billions that  are currently&lt;br /&gt;disappearing into aid packages and bailout funds for PIGS,  lived well at the&lt;br /&gt;expense of others, and that those who were more careful  with their money are now&lt;br /&gt;expected to swallow the poison that is making its  way northward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What PIGS are experiencing at the moment is a shock and  awe. But it was also&lt;br /&gt;overdue. PIGS are not innocent when it comes to their  decline. But providing&lt;br /&gt;PIGS with extended maturities and lower interest rates  is in no way a true&lt;br /&gt;solution. PIGS need restructured debt in order to have a  little breathing room.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  fundamental problem is that politicians believe that markets react in  panic,&lt;br /&gt;in other words, irrationally. But that's not true. The capital markets  aren't&lt;br /&gt;children who can simply be quieted down. Investors look at the figures  and can&lt;br /&gt;see that PIGS are going bankrupt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more  effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can  transform your people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate,  efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I  would like very much to speak at your conference in order to explain  critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further.

Punishing PIGS is a rational thing&lt;br /&gt;to do.  There are people who have invested their money there and have now&lt;br /&gt;determined  that the investment is no longer secure, so they are pulling out.  In&lt;br /&gt;addition, there are players who have taken notice that the yields are  rising and&lt;br /&gt;they are betting on that. That's the snowball effect which we are  now seeing. It&lt;br /&gt;is not based on panic, but rather on totally rational  appraisals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-6435440594471120314?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/6435440594471120314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/mexico-g20-junket-is-bewildered-about.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/6435440594471120314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/6435440594471120314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/mexico-g20-junket-is-bewildered-about.html' title='MEXICO G20 JUNKET IS BEWILDERED ABOUT THE FOUR PIGS'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YGlAWPIVvOo/T0navVf9oFI/AAAAAAAAGCM/lHDsH1PD620/s72-c/a2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-8448455545987921942</id><published>2012-02-25T21:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-25T21:47:17.259-08:00</updated><title type='text'>DNA DEFENDERS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ijOoJOdsgM0/T0nHEjvQ02I/AAAAAAAAGCE/oAejJkF_o0o/s1600/a6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ijOoJOdsgM0/T0nHEjvQ02I/AAAAAAAAGCE/oAejJkF_o0o/s320/a6.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your body defends its DNA. Everything — from noxious chemicals found  in&lt;br /&gt;cigarette smoke or car exhaust, to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, to  even&lt;br /&gt;something as benign as oxygen — is working overtime to damage DNA.  Fortunately,&lt;br /&gt;all living things have a defense: an intra-cellular mechanic  that patrols DNA,&lt;br /&gt;searching for errors and repairing them, thousands of times  a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harvard,  the best university on Earth, has invented new ways to study DNA. Using&lt;br /&gt;X-ray  crystallography, Harvard produced 3-D images of the protein machinery  that&lt;br /&gt;detects damaged parts of the genome in bacteria, thus enabling them to  be&lt;br /&gt;repaired. Harvard used the images it obtained to gain a new understanding  of how&lt;br /&gt;the DNA repair process works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The images reveal that the  proteins can actually alter their shape. Harvard&lt;br /&gt;believes the alteration is  part of a process best described as a genetic&lt;br /&gt;pat-down, or a way for the  mechanism to identify areas of the genetic code that&lt;br /&gt;need repair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  sensor detects regions that require repair by subjecting DNA to a  stress&lt;br /&gt;test. As it patrols, one form of the sensor can interact with both  native and&lt;br /&gt;damaged DNA, but only normal DNA is able to pass the stress test.  The sensor&lt;br /&gt;performs these stress tests over and over; regions of the genetic  code that pass&lt;br /&gt;the test are quickly released. However, once a region of DNA  is found that fails&lt;br /&gt;the pat-down, or stress test, the sensor gets stuck and  signals for other&lt;br /&gt;biochemical processes to take over and repair the  DNA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's exciting to see the 3-D image of the sensor, because this  amazing insight&lt;br /&gt;is something that could never emerge from studying these  proteins biochemically.&lt;br /&gt;You needed to have seen the two views. This is  totally unprecedented — there was&lt;br /&gt;nothing in any previous study that  suggested that something like this was&lt;br /&gt;occurring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DNA repair  machinery is made up of two pairs of proteins: UvrA and UvrB.&lt;br /&gt;Although  earlier work had shown that the proteins could be arranged into an&lt;br /&gt;open,  almost butterflylike form, Harvard found them arranged in a  tighter,&lt;br /&gt;sleevelike pattern, which cradled the DNA.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-8448455545987921942?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/8448455545987921942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/dna-defenders.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/8448455545987921942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/8448455545987921942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/dna-defenders.html' title='DNA DEFENDERS'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ijOoJOdsgM0/T0nHEjvQ02I/AAAAAAAAGCE/oAejJkF_o0o/s72-c/a6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-2083901006000950684</id><published>2012-02-25T20:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-25T20:36:03.378-08:00</updated><title type='text'>THE REINCARNATION OF A POPULAR PAPER</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wgxhh5xMRhk/T0m2TtcZo7I/AAAAAAAAGB8/mXiIPb26_0k/s1600/Murdoch2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="173" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wgxhh5xMRhk/T0m2TtcZo7I/AAAAAAAAGB8/mXiIPb26_0k/s320/Murdoch2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a front sensational page about a female TV presenter's  birthing&lt;br /&gt;difficulties - My heart stopped for 40 seconds - Sun made its Sunday  debut. An&lt;br /&gt;editorial said the paper's reporters would abide by ethical conduct  codes,&lt;br /&gt;seeking to distance itself from the methods that led to the closure of  the News&lt;br /&gt;of the World: We will hold our journalists to the standards we  expect of them.&lt;br /&gt;After all, a newspaper which holds the powerful to account  must do the same with&lt;br /&gt;itself. You will be able to trust our journalists to  abide by the values of&lt;br /&gt;decency as they gather news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most newsrooms of  America and Europe are infested with socialist apes, and their&lt;br /&gt;mindset spills  over into the news coverage, producing biased news stories on&lt;br /&gt;many issues,  such as kleptocracy, taxes, environment, government, insurance, and&lt;br /&gt;health.  Infamous Greek journalists received huge kickbacks, in order to keep&lt;br /&gt;their  mouths shut about the astronomical kickbacks to Graecokleptocrats!  Omerta&lt;br /&gt;galore! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mainstream  media are unfair, unbalanced, banal, vane, and hoipolloi trash.&lt;br /&gt;Newspapers  have become screed wraps of DVDs. TV news has sold its soul to&lt;br /&gt;rabblerousers  and pullpeddlers and is full of set-up arguments. Reporters have&lt;br /&gt;been  transformed to statist parrots who doubledip in the state treasury.&lt;br /&gt;Anchormen  have become the czars of statist banality and propaganda. Omerta&lt;br /&gt;galore! The  truth can be found only on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sensitive issue cannot be  fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in&lt;br /&gt;that magic eyeball to  eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that&lt;br /&gt;cause shock and  awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of your&lt;br /&gt;organization to  speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fireflyflash/post?postID=CbAsl2wHtsRWYrDiMIHI0BvQvGuigO8el0xf2aXngMAjAXBNscGiWOvUykBiq5KfQt7T_HHCj1VGjg"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greek  journalists are rewarded for their disgusting support of&lt;br /&gt;Graecokleptocracy  with aggeliosimo, an unfair 20% charge on all advertising,&lt;br /&gt;going to the  pension fund of their union. All advertisers now have to pay 43%&lt;br /&gt;surcharge,  23% VAT and 20% aggeliosimo. This abuse of advertisers and the media&lt;br /&gt;is  condoned by Fourth Reich, and it puts many media out of business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media  moguls are often right; that's how they got to be moguls. But many&lt;br /&gt;companies  today operate like Russian nesting dolls, where one large figure is&lt;br /&gt;actually  made up of many smaller ones. These organizations present a unified&lt;br /&gt;face to  the outside world, but rely heavily on other, usually smaller, companies&lt;br /&gt;or  external individuals to conduct many of their activities. That's exactly  the&lt;br /&gt;Achilles Heel of media moguls!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journalists at News of the World  hired people outside the company to illegally&lt;br /&gt;hack into the phones of select  individuals. That these hackers seem not to be&lt;br /&gt;News of the World employees  illustrates the Russian nesting doll model, which&lt;br /&gt;contains the seeds of moral  hazard, since it allows for the plausibility of&lt;br /&gt;denial. While we readily  recognize such a hazard in the food and apparel&lt;br /&gt;industries and the need to  secure all elements of their production chain, most&lt;br /&gt;other industries have yet  to recognize such a hazard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rupert Murdoch has entrusted the Management  and Standards Committee (MSC) to&lt;br /&gt;investigate the details of phone-hacking and  police bribery by his London&lt;br /&gt;tabloids and prevent such events from happening  again. News International&lt;br /&gt;journalists are furious at MSC. When an insider had  described the MSC's work as&lt;br /&gt;draining the swamp, tempers flared. Journalists  ask: What do they mean drain the&lt;br /&gt;swamp? Are they saying we're a bunch of  filthy insects?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A media mogul controls his company. His company controls  much of a market. He&lt;br /&gt;hungers for influence in politics and society. He lusts  for attention. He is&lt;br /&gt;narcissistic and vane. He knows only his strengths, but  not his weaknesses. He&lt;br /&gt;inspires endless anecdotes about his ego. Omerta  galore! Murdoch, Maxwell, and&lt;br /&gt;the Hearsts, when they still managed, fit those  criteria. Rupert Murdoch is the&lt;br /&gt;last media mogul, a breed nesting dolls are  responsible for killing in an act of&lt;br /&gt;mogulcide!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media moguls are soon  to be extinct, for many reasons. Media institutions' lock&lt;br /&gt;on content creation  and distribution is over. The risk and cost of starting new,&lt;br /&gt;large-scale  media properties is too great. Control of scarcity in closed markets&lt;br /&gt;led to  moguls' and conglomerates' consolidation; now, in an abundant economy,&lt;br /&gt;what  used to be their assets are now their liabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart words are more  effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic&lt;br /&gt;keynote speaker can  transform your people to a new dimension of organizational&lt;br /&gt;climate,  efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.&lt;br /&gt;I  would like very much to speak at your conference in order to explain  critical&lt;br /&gt;points much further. Basil Venitis, &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fireflyflash/post?postID=CbAsl2wHtsRWYrDiMIHI0BvQvGuigO8el0xf2aXngMAjAXBNscGiWOvUykBiq5KfQt7T_HHCj1VGjg"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  the media business, news items require fair and secure sourcing, despite  the&lt;br /&gt;fact that a freelancer small doll may be crafting the story. But at  the&lt;br /&gt;News of the World, the people who were asked to hack the phones were  apparently&lt;br /&gt;hired by journalists, but were not journalists themselves. Omerta  galore! This&lt;br /&gt;gave them the freedom to obey norms different from those of  their employers.&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, journalists are not supposed to act  illegally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you could see Murdoch's advantage and disadvantage. He  let his trusted&lt;br /&gt;managers do as they pleased, but they tried to please him.  That's the argument&lt;br /&gt;in favor of his direct culpability in the hacking  scandal. He fostered a&lt;br /&gt;seat-of-the-pants culture where people didn't have to  be told to go too far,&lt;br /&gt;where, as he demonstrated before Parliament, the  Murdochs themselves do not take&lt;br /&gt;responsibility. Omerta galore! But that's  over now. Murdoch has lost the&lt;br /&gt;influence his newspapers gave him. He may lose  control of his company. His heirs&lt;br /&gt;will not take it over. The mogul is  extinct. God save the Queen!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-2083901006000950684?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/2083901006000950684/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/reincarnation-of-popular-paper.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2083901006000950684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4045482649998296337/posts/default/2083901006000950684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/reincarnation-of-popular-paper.html' title='THE REINCARNATION OF A POPULAR PAPER'/><author><name>VENITISM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15648196184260747740</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UrIcYidVzbU/TbxAoPGTlZI/AAAAAAAAABs/n1MBSPcZi9A/s220/Venitis1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wgxhh5xMRhk/T0m2TtcZo7I/AAAAAAAAGB8/mXiIPb26_0k/s72-c/Murdoch2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045482649998296337.post-9108759667192076340</id><published>2012-02-25T10:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-25T10:03:17.754-08:00</updated><title type='text'>300 GERMAN TAX COLLECTORS ARE GOING TO GREECE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yj3TOlRO9lE/T0kh1dkBZRI/AAAAAAAAGB0/mOSjpITYc7c/s1600/taxes2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="249" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yj3TOlRO9lE/T0kh1dkBZRI/AAAAAAAAGB0/mOSjpITYc7c/s320/taxes2.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;All citizens should avoid and evade sales tax and VAT all the way! If you  live&lt;br /&gt;in USA, you should refuse paying sales tax, and if you live in Fourth  Reich, you&lt;br /&gt;should refuse paying VAT. If a shop owner does not respect your  refusal, go to&lt;br /&gt;the next shop. In this depression, you can find myriad shops  to accommodate&lt;br /&gt;your refusal, pure and simple! Remember, your government is  your worst enemy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;300 German tax collectors have volunteered to help  Graecokleptocrats gather tax&lt;br /&gt;more efficiently. But the failure of the rescue  plan is not due to uncollected&lt;br /&gt;taxes, but to slow implementation of  structural reforms, such as the opening up&lt;br /&gt;of markets and professions and  reducing political corruption. There is&lt;br /&gt;widespread skepticism because of a  long history of missed targets. Papademos is&lt;br /&gt;lying and  scaremongering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every penny of our money that the government allows us to  keep is a good thing,&lt;br /&gt;whether it results from a decrease in the tax rates,  the lowering of tax&lt;br /&gt;brackets, or an increase in deductions, loopholes,  exemptions, and credits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greek debt differs from that of other nations,  because it's not due to spending,&lt;br /&gt;but robbing! Graecokleptocrats got huge  kickbacks from overpriced purchases of&lt;br /&gt;public equipment and contracts and by  churning the state insurance funds. If&lt;br /&gt;this is not robbing, what is it? When  politicians of other nations were trying&lt;br /&gt;to do things for their citizens,  Graecokleptocrats were trying to fatten their&lt;br /&gt;secret offshore accounts,  protected by parliamentary immunity. Graecokleptocrats&lt;br /&gt;rob Peter not to give  Paul, but to themselves!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why the Greek workers are on strike. They  resent paying the huge Greek&lt;br /&gt;debt created by Graecokleptocrats. It's not fair  to tax and reduce the salaries&lt;br /&gt;and benefits of workers to make up for the  money stolen by Graecokleptocrats. &lt;br /&gt;The fairest action would be for  Graecokleptocrats to return the stolen money&lt;br /&gt;back to the Greek treasury. Many  Graecokleptocrats live like princes of Saudi&lt;br /&gt;Arabia! Enough is enough, bring  the money back! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  offer of German tax collectors risks fuelling resentment among Greeks,  who&lt;br /&gt;hate taxation. Taxes, especially VAT, feed the underground economy. It is  your&lt;br /&gt;patriotic duty to evade taxes, especially VAT, all the way! Taxation  causes an&lt;br /&gt;enormous and unnecessary dead-weight loss to the economic  system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sheer cost and time burden of businesses and individuals  trying to comply&lt;br /&gt;with the tax system, let alone the cost of myriad  bureaucrats who claim to be&lt;br /&gt;administrating it, waste hundreds of billions of  euros. This waste of resources&lt;br /&gt;unnecessarily reduces economic growth and job  creation. A major reason this&lt;br /&gt;obscenity persists is that few kleptocrats  think seriously about the&lt;br /&gt;consequences of what they have done and are doing,  or just don't care.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Fourth  Reich forced the hateful VAT on Greece in 1987 and is the most  disgusting&lt;br /&gt;indirect tax. Greeks are at war against their government over the  abominable 23%&lt;br /&gt;VAT. Vatmonger Greek government harasses Greeks by pressuring  them to demand&lt;br /&gt;receipts when they buy products. Greeks who cannot gather many  receipts are&lt;br /&gt;penalized with more taxes! Transforming citizens to VAT  enforcers is&lt;br /&gt;disgusting, undignified, and against basic human freedoms.  President Van Rompuy&lt;br /&gt;should call vatmonger Graecokleptocrats on the carpet  now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merkel wants to help Graecokleptocrats develop a modern tax  administration and&lt;br /&gt;has started recruiting volunteers for Greek duty. All  other persons and groups&lt;br /&gt;in society, except for acknowledged and  sporadic&lt;br /&gt;criminals such as thieves and bank robbers, obtain their income  voluntarily:&lt;br /&gt;either by selling goods and services to the consuming public, or  by voluntary&lt;br /&gt;gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only the State obtains its revenue by coercion, by  threatening dire&lt;br /&gt;penalties should the income not be forthcoming. That  coercion is known as&lt;br /&gt;taxation. Taxation is theft, purely and simply, even  though it is theft on a&lt;br /&gt;grand and colossal scale which no acknowledged  criminals could hope to match. It&lt;br /&gt;is a compulsory seizure of the property of  the State's inhabitants, or subjects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finance ministers in two states,  North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and Hesse, are&lt;br /&gt;also ready to send German tax  officials to Greece even though such assistance is&lt;br /&gt;not wanted. Norbert  Walter-Borjans, NRW finance minister, says Greece's problems&lt;br /&gt;today are even  worse than the problems faced with former East Germany in 1990.&lt;br /&gt;There was  resistance then among some eastern Germans against western tax&lt;br /&gt;collectors but  that's nothing compared to the reservations Greeks will have&lt;br /&gt;against  Germans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Finance Ministry of Germany says the preparations for a tax  advice mission&lt;br /&gt;are being made under the auspices of Fourth Reich and IMF.  Germans, who are&lt;br /&gt;making the largest financial contribution to the euro zone  bailout for Greece,&lt;br /&gt;are growing increasingly impatient with the bottomless  pit in Greece. Schaeuble&lt;br /&gt;has repeatedly offered to help Athens improve tax  collection, and he has&lt;br /&gt;complained the offers have not been  accepted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VAT is a trademark of slavery and a destruction power of myriad  watts. VAT is&lt;br /&gt;the main culprit of the Fourthreichian financial meltdown. The  Fourthreichian&lt;br /&gt;taxation is based on the VAT monstrosity against poor people!  The most unfair&lt;br /&gt;tax is VAT, the calamity of Fourth Reich(EU); that's why we  urge all&lt;br /&gt;Fourthreichians to evade this tax of misery as much as possible!  Fourthreichians&lt;br /&gt;are yoked with a 15-25% VAT, value added tax. In Canada, VAT  is only 5%. The&lt;br /&gt;burden of VAT falls on final consumers of products. Refusing  to pay abominable&lt;br /&gt;VAT is a heroic act. Vatwar is here to stay until VAT is  abolished. Vatdodgers&lt;br /&gt;are heroes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most  of the German tax collection volunteers come from NRW, Germany's  most&lt;br /&gt;populous state. But Hesse, one of the country's richest states where  the&lt;br /&gt;financial capital Frankfurt is located, has also recruited many  volunteers.&lt;br /&gt;Hesse's finance minister Thomas Schaefer says that when it comes  to helping&lt;br /&gt;Greece we should also think about the possibility of recalling  retired German&lt;br /&gt;tax collectors who had experience helping East  Germany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BLACK HOLE&lt;br /&gt;By Basil Venitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/euroliberty/post?postID=llyBoZq59_Htzr-Zq0Ivzx978iJtrRdgTYmNLW4XAnHKkMl8vcoDRHx7vS5D2nH3hhqynBEF-kw"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taxation  is armed robbery&lt;br /&gt;Corruption's black hole&lt;br /&gt;Perfect index of tyranny&lt;br /&gt;Never  feed the black hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starve the beast right now&lt;br /&gt;Join the Global Tax  Revolt&lt;br /&gt;Tame the monster anyhow&lt;br /&gt;Never feed the black hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid and  evade all taxes&lt;br /&gt;Feeding drones is not your goal&lt;br /&gt;Send the robbers to the  axes&lt;br /&gt;Never feed the black hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never mind those robbers&lt;br /&gt;Turn  inside to your soul&lt;br /&gt;Curb those kleptocrats and cobbers&lt;br /&gt;Never feed the  black hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABOLISH NOW VAT&lt;br /&gt;By Basil Venitis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/euroliberty/post?postID=llyBoZq59_Htzr-Zq0Ivzx978iJtrRdgTYmNLW4XAnHKkMl8vcoDRHx7vS5D2nH3hhqynBEF-kw"&gt;venitis@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://venitism.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://venitism.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello  all you vatstrucks&lt;br /&gt;Stop now that regressive tax&lt;br /&gt;That tax that really  sucks&lt;br /&gt;Abolish now VAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VAT is trademark of slavery&lt;br /&gt;A tax you have  to bat&lt;br /&gt;It hurts your pocket gravely&lt;br /&gt;Abolish now VAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VAT brings a  meltdown&lt;br /&gt;It treats you like a rat&lt;br /&gt;Destroys your hometown&lt;br /&gt;Abolish now  VAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VAT is kleptocrats' grab&lt;br /&gt;The most unfair tax is VAT&lt;br /&gt;Vat makes  you a cab&lt;br /&gt;Abolish now VAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vatdodgers are real heroes&lt;br /&gt;Evading VAT  is a heroic act&lt;br /&gt;Give vatmongers real zeroes&lt;br /&gt;Abolish now VAT.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4045482649998296337-9108759667192076340?l=venitism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/9108759667192076340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://venitism.blogspot.com/2012/02/300-german-tax-collectors-are-going-to.html#c
