Fat Cats and Pussy Cats
Yesterday I received my annual savings account statement,
an account that purports to repay my investment at
a rate (APR) of 2.85%, on condition funds are placed
for one year with no withdrawal. Therefore you may
forgive my expletives when my return in actual fact
is a mere 1.43%; after deductions such as income tax
(Which I do not pay), administration fees and other
charges that were not made apparent at the time of
deposit, nor anywhere in the accompanying ‘small print’.
In all fairness, this was a stop-gap measure by myself;
but it was also with a leading UK high street banking
institution.
Result: I felt greatly cheated!
I then watched the news online, where Bank bosses
were justifying their multi-million pound bonus awards
because they had not taken any bonus for two years.
I was left with the impression we should venerate
them for being so charitable?
Now my simplistic understanding of the situation
is that these same people have deliberately used questionable
accounting practices in order to ruin the entire western
economy in order to amplify their personal avarice.
In UK alone; every man, woman, and child will have
to repay around £17,000 each of Bankers debt = not
their own personal debt you understand, but that of
the banks’ - in order to finance bailing out these
rogues.
The Banks' meanwhile do not have to pay a single penny
back for their mismanagement of their own companies
- and the western economy!
This money will come from what little money is left
in the spending pockets of every ordinary British
citizen, and be paid by them over several generations
= pensioners, adults, and children - including newly
born babes.
We already accept that this means that most newlyweds
will not be able to buy their first home unless a
rich parent is able to guarantee a starter mortgage
for instance – miraculously the ‘Lenders’ already
have plans in place? We also accept that the young
baby in a mothers arms already has this forfeit to
pay in his or her lifetime, and what they can’t manage;
will be inherited by their children also.

This is a fact.
Meanwhile, the fat-cat bankers appear to have taken
the money in advance, from the British people, and
have no dictate to repay any of it, as it was a gift
to them. After two years of a few forgoing bonus’
payments they now consider their penance is paid in
full.
Remind me just how this all works again?
The British citizens pay the Bankers for fucking
up the entire world economy, too the point of leaving
their children, and their children's children still
paying for it … and the Bankers do not have to pay
a penny back!
Surely the lunatics have taken over the asylum!
A dear friend of mine recently stated that instead
of bailing out the worthless w bankers, we
should have let them sink in the mire of their own
greed, and paid every citizen in UK 17, 000 instead.
They would be free to spend it as they would wish,
including: the homeless on the streets of London,
those wishing to invest in a good pension fund, and
those gifted individuals from the wrong background
who simply could not afford a university education.
Most would clear their credit cards and buy things
they have long wished for, like a new TV, stereo,
furniture - or a couples dream holiday abroad in some
exotic place.
Others would have been able to fund a legitimate bed
for the night = an address with which to get a bank
account - in order to get a job!
The result would have been a consumer driven boom,
and the high streets would have been packed to overflowing.
In response, British industry and commerce would have
responded to market demand – and we would have waved
goodbye to this financial crisis already.
Instead we are still slaves to the newly empowered
Germany – or at least you are, because I left already!
However, the reality is that our government decided
to give our money to the Bankers instead, and we have
to pay for it … and they have a free gift lifeline
to continue their extravagant lifestyles at our expense
- and I find this 'fundamentally unacceptable'!
So when that twat that heads whatever bank comes
out saying he has not received a bonus for two years
and has completed his sentence, I have news for him
– he hasn't even understood the question yet, never
mind started to repay the people who were forced to
support his mismanaged company and bail it out when
it became bankrupt!
In my world, if I spend too much then I have all
sorts of people after me for repayment, and some of
them are not very nice at all. These are the sort
of money sharks who threaten a single Mom that they
will break her baby's legs in the pram unless she
pays up all of £10 now! 70% of which is interest on
a £100 loan!
She knows the prescription charges alone will be
a lot more than this, even allowing the fact she could
countenance such an outrageous act – which she would
never allow; even at the expense of her own conditional
rape.
Call the police – sorry, no reply – too busy prosecuting
motorists for driving 1 mile per hour over the speed
limit or arresting people for smoking in the ‘wrong’
isolations of ‘outside’. Get real!
If you do not believe me, then that's fine. If you
want confirmation, then go and speak to any ordinary
people, and they will tell you their life's misery
quite willingly, and you will have your answer.
Then I read about countries being held to ransom
by Bond Markets: Greece, Ireland; and in the wings
many others. Are you beginning to pick up upon a thread
here? This is all about rich people, institutions,
Banks, and Governments all becoming richer, at the
expense of their supporting populace.
Would it surprise you to know that these parasites
see ordinary people as being the source of their outrageous
incomes? Well, they actually see this as their birthright,
and you and I are worthless to them, just as long
as there remain enough of us to extort money from.
Now I get very fed-up with having neither party nor
individual I think worthy of voting for.
They are all scammers who ignore my ideals and instead
press ahead with becoming a province of the Fifth
Reich of Germany – totally against my wishes, and
those of my forefathers who fought in two world wars
to give us the freedom today our politicians and Masons
use in abject and abhorrent disgrace.
However, I am not wanting to dwell on past or present
woes. In fact I am writing a book, or rather a trilogy,
which takes a completely different view of life.
I have witnessed the transformation of ordinary family
life from one where the Father worked to support his
wife and children – to one where both partners work
in order to be able to afford to have a child. Remind
me how that one works again?
I do not expect anyone to agree with me, but I believe
that our society is totally mismanaged from source,
and the fundamental principals of family have been
usurped by do-gooders and politicians with little
brain but perspicacity for personal financial gain.
Therefore as the world financial crisis wrote ruin
across the future of most ordinary western civilisations,
so in turn will they fall to the overbearing weight
placed upon people who have no need of this?
Wait. Take a minute out to think what life you would
like to lead right now – and I am speaking to you!
You want to live in a tropical paradise where everyone
is your friend and everybody does ‘a little’ work,
but most of the time people simply enjoy life and
the company of true friends?
When I first came to China I was asked to explain
our western concept of ‘Babysitting’ for a group of
educated and interested friends. I did my best, but
was questioned thus; “So how can you even consider
paying a complete stranger to stay with you child
while you leave them. Why would you not take your
child with you?” Then you begin to realise that the
most important thing in anybody's life is their offspring
– the only reason we as a species survive…
My book relates to a primitive Stone Age culture
who work as the seasons and their survival dictates;
but then they have many days for leisure and doing
nothing – perhaps being artistic or inventing things
both in material and creative ways. This is echoed
in the lives of rural people in modern China today,
where if the work is already done, they will simply
go and enjoy themselves; albeit family life and time
with both parents attending a child's day, to social
pleasures and community rewards.
My vision of this human society is one in which everybody
has a value and a place. We all work when required,
and play when the work is completed. However, we all
earn the same amount of money, and people earn the
status of being revered through what they have done
for the benefit of every single person as a whole,
not some institutionalised robbery – for daylight
robbery is what Bankers’ and ‘financial services’
are best at. It is their core business, and all more
the fool you for believing any of their twaddle and
nonsense.
Having paid me back on a lump sum investment tied
for one year at 1.43% (What I actually received from
them), they have now started charging me 3% to withdraw
funds from abroad. If I were a businessman or holidaymaker
I would find this irksome, but perhaps acceptable?
As an Expat I find it wholly untenable, so I wrote
to them to complain and ask for an exception. Duly
by return I got a list of references to their new
terms and conditions, which were not hyperlinked.
I replied, telling them this was a load of bollocks,
and asking them to remove the charges, or I would
remove my deposit, and monthly income, not only from
their bank, but from the UK entirely. They have not
even bothered to respond after several weeks, so are
obviously too busy calculating their personal bonuses…
I have a Bank Account in Asia that pays me interest
on my current account (1.26%, tax free), and deposit
rates are very marginally better, but the ties and
charges are too weird for me to complete.
And then I read in the news online that Spanish debt
bonds are now offering a return of 5.75%, and I wonder?
The german Banks and those of UK and France are lending
the bailout package the Irish did not want at a meager,
5.75%, 3.2% of which is interest these blood-suckers
will reward themselves with.
In actual fact, the German Banks are actually borrowing
this money to lend to Ireland at 1.2 % interest, thus
making 4.55% interest on bailing out an economy that
did not request their assistance.
This is how the germans work nowadays - gone is 'the
blitzkrieg, enter the financial domination of the world'
- and you think I am joking? - then look for yourselves,
as I have nothing else to say about these obnoxious
pariahs who control modern europe, un-elected.
But as a real live individual, what I cannot forgive
is when Governments and Banks think so much of themselves,
that they have one set of rules for themselves, and
a totally different set of rules for their ordinary
clients. Let me explain:
The world banks got it wrong in a very big way, because
their accounting practices were wrong. UK was about
the worst of these in practice, though the main fall-out
happened first in USA, and later in Germany. The people
were then not given a referendum, but simply told
they would hock their children, and their children's
children into slavery for the best part of a century,
so the bank’s would survive.
I raised a hand to ask a question here, which has
always been ignored [Why not let the banks fail and
flounder? Answer, they are all controlled by Masons,
as is our government - or didn't you know].
However, my real point is that when some obnoxious
moron from a bank rings me at the wrong time to ask
why I am late with a simple card payment – totally
forgetting that I am not in UK, and it is quite difficult
to do from China, and then I find out he is calling
from New Delhi … I start to loose the plot, and tell
him to go away ‘in short jerky movements’.
Next up, and pin your luggholes back, because I will
say this only once:
Isn't it about time that the banks and government
institutions applied those same rules to themselves
– the very same ones they inflict upon us ordinary
citizens?
For instance, and correct me if I am wrong, but as
I understand it: Germany has just completed paying
back its ‘war debt’ from the Great War. They did not
have to pay back after WW2, because that was cancelled,
as paid.
UK still has a war debt, which is somewhere in the
region of £47, 000, 000, 000 Pounds, owed to the United
States alone.
Then I discover our government is still borrowing
7% more than its income from our taxes, and this will
get even worse when the levy for bailing out the Banks’
comes in. Meanwhile people turn off their central
heating to save a few pennies in charges in order
to feed their family, buy shit instead of sugar at
the supermarket – because it makes financial sense,
and which enables them to miraculously ‘Balance their
books’.
Hello government?
And I really do not care what colour or name you
have today; you are all as liable as one another…
If I have to balance my household budget, in between
juggling jobs to make ends meet – then you should
be a light to show me how to do it.
Instead I find you already owe more than we can ever
pay back as a nation, and have just committed us to
giving already rich people the entire savings potential
of my children + their own children!
Now I call on you to balance the books of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland, so that we pay off all our debtors
in the international community; just as I at home
have to pay off all mine to survive.
Honesty would be a good start, but then, no British
government I know of has ever had The Bailiffs’ arrive
at their door, yet.
Hello great China, was that you come a’ knocking?
As for me, well you can guarantee that after being ripped-off
by the UK banking sector, my investment is no longer
anywhere near where they can get their grubby hands
on it, and neither is my current account – cummon, they
think it is their right to charge me 3% to withdraw
my invalidity pension?
They seem to forget it is actually my own money,
but then; International Banking Corporations have
always had a very difficult task distinguishing between
their prospective avarice vs my personal fiscal policy.
I am also aware that when I hear an Indian accent
answer my call, that I am usually ordering a curry
on a Friday night, not trying to balance my personal
finances with my 'personal banker' on a Monday morning.
I guess this is what some may call progress?
But my final thought is with those poor souls trying
to survive the uprisings in the Middle East ...the ones
the western press are so avid for information to spin
- these are simply warning signs for the powers that
currently exist in the west - who will always ignore
the wishes of their own electorate at their own peril.
I am actually routing for Ireland to leave the EU -
or whatever acronyms is it called today - for we have
no need of it; and have lost some much, and so much
goodwill already worldwide.
As an expat, I am becoming ashamed to call myself 'british',
let alone a 'Briton'!
Good riddance to bad rubbish - for we have no place
in the modern german version of a united europe, one
where everybody in this world is ruled by the otherwise
unelected despots of the Reichstag in berlin.!
I’ll leave you to consider Bob Dylan's ‘All
Along The Watchtower’:
(Jimi Hendrix covered it)
For your information:
You could form the analogy that the Thief and The Joker
are the incumbent leaders of USA and UK - but which
is which?
I would leave you with the consideration that 'the prince'
upon the ivory towers is actually the worlds' fattest
and most horribly dressed female, despite Hillary Clinton's
vain attempts to wrest the crown from the german bitch-queen
of this 'diabolique'!
'No-Body of it is worth'…
