A Letter From China
The Few
 
As you prepare for Christmas in UK and battle the bleakest of conditions, please remember you all have options in life. You will probably have two or three clear chances to change you life in the space of an average lifetime. Most people let these slip through their fingers for what amounts to less than convincing reasons. Sometimes we stay put because it appears easier, or change because it is easier.

It has come to my attention that this is exactly why the world at large, and UK in particular, experienced a financial crisis. Simply put: the maths and accounting practices were - and still are wrong!

These were changed in the late 90’s from a system of graded default risk, to one that allowed banks and holding companies to use a streamlined system developed in the States. UK implemented it so that it also applied to all companies. Therefore risk was no longer graded, and was considered good until default. How very stupid!

This is why company chairmen had no idea their company pyramids were full of rotten eggs – until disaster struck. The same system has not been reviewed and is still worshipped by the powers that be today. So as you struggle through the snow with higher taxes and the knowledge that whilst you have bailed out the banks, they by return have tighten credit and treated your personal fiscal worries with distain - whilst proffering unjust bonus awards to the very people who fucked-up in the first place. Just remember, that once we are through this period – it will happen again in around a decade or so - unless the maths are put right.

Latest estimates are that China will have a larger economy than USA by around 2025 = 14 years time! India will essentially be third by that time and you should consider the implications carefully. The Dollar will slide, the Yuan and Rupee will rise, and the Euro will have long since imploded and be long gone – excepting perhaps as a European trade mechanism, which is exactly what it should have been in the first place.

I am teaching my 1-year-old daughter Chinese and English by default – does your school even offer Chinese lessons yet? … I thought not. Now I love the mis-quotes; and China + Japan are usually classics. Imagine in just 20 years time Oriental press is running humorous pictures about how we Westerners always get the new world language wrong all the time. It’s ‘reversia’.

Pragmatically English has too deep a root to be swept aside so easily, so this is just for laughs, or to make you think a little deeper perchance?

When I went to school I had to study French = no option: a language I hated and had no use for. Later I went to France on holiday, and found the locals of Breton did not speak French either – so we eventually worked out how to converse in my very limited Welsh. 4 wasted years on what is a dead language as far as I am concerned. Latin is a far more useful language in the modern world by the way.

Gerry Adams is somebody it is easy to hate, but I have to respect the guy regardless of whether I personally agree with him or not. I am half Irish so may have some insight missed by the media in the chase for headline news. That stated, I do believe that there is a very real prospect that Gerry will become the next Premier of Eire in a few weeks time. Remember the Irish voted ‘no’ to Europe, and were then made to vote a second time. The Irish people again returned a ‘no’ vote, which was ignored by those in power. Therefore I have the feeling that this time the politicians responsible for ignoring the peoples wishes and directly acting against them, will in turn be cast out, possibly never to see power of any sort again. The Irish opposition parties once elected will withdraw from the EMU, even at the cost of leaving the European Union, and therefore plunging the contrived currency into a fatal slide and death throws. You can virtually guarantee that it will be the Germans who are first major player to leave as they do not want their economic powerhouse (Contrived at the expense of other member nations) to be threatened. If you doubt me, then as an Expat working in exports from China, you may be surprised to note that some manufacturers are already offering prices in Deutschmarks! Check it yourself and see…

…however, this will free the German economy to compete with the USA, as the only two non-emerging economies that can hold their own in the new world marketplace. As for Great Britain - We already lost this financial war in the late 1940’s. I voted in Harlod Wilson’s ‘Yes or No’ referendum about Europe, and do you know what – there was simply no ‘no’ vote. Not many people remember this. We have not been given a referendum on Europe since, and there is no political party opposing The New German Empire anyway. Are our elected politicians so helpless and stupid?

But the fact remains that against many voters’ wishes, we appear to be stuck with being a part of Europe for the time being. Most Expat’s I meet or interact with online – my telegraph blog for instance; immediately support and recognise what I have not said – that we need to get the hell out of Europe and become our own country once more. Instead we have Gestapo officialdom secreting electronic tags to the undersides of our wheelie-bins, so they can monitor which day and for how long these bins are on the pavement. Offenders who leave the bins out overnight can be taken by non-police authoritarians and fined or even held against their wishes = arrested and essentially imprisoned.

This is one major reason why I choose to live in a freer country such as China. At least here there are no petty laws and as long as I am a good citizen, they leave me be.

Other more serious issues relate to the ethos of child-snatching by secretive social services – who act like SS officers in pursuit of their targets. Read Christopher Booker for more about these nameless and faceless pariah’s who’s sole goal in life is to snatch children from loving families and place them in foster care, simply so they meet their abduction quotas. Then we can do immigration and extradition: as it seems anyone can come to UK and claim off the state they have never paid into. They can now send their ill-gotten gains home to families in Pakistan – see Shirley Williams, a definite troll. Extraditions are now automatically processed without a single shred of evidence?

This is how the German version of unelected Europe fills our daily lives with misery and dross, so much so that no one can see beyond it. Well I do, and I’m having none of it – hence I choose to live outside of Europe and their clammy attempts to take my life as their servitude. I refuse.

So many other truly British people feel exactly the same way, which is why we have upped roots and gone!

So next time your window of opportunity opens in your own small (Or large) life, I recommend you pay it heed and seriously consider leaving the once mighty battleship called ‘Blighty’.

Just in case you wondered, I have the highest respect for both English and Irish = my roots. I find the Welsh to be very accommodating, inventive, and they also provide us with so much history when we consider our real roots. I can also speak a little bit of Welsh, can you?

The Scottish and Aussies I love to banter with, but they both play hard, and party harder. The USA is not really our ‘brother’, but we have so much in common, and far more with them than say Europe – nations we have either fought to grim death with, or bailed out over a period of some 2, 500 years. Unfortunately we allowed the Germans and French to strip us of our greatest asset – The Commonwealth, something we should revisit with purpose once we finally escape the clutches of the New German Empire. I do have a real problem when it becomes a fact that people from say … Malawi (A British Protectorate years ago) are required to have a full and extenuated visa to enter Britain, whereas Romanian’s and Bulgarians + their controlled non-European designates can enter without any identification other than an iffy EU passport. The economics don’t work either, and never did!

Welcome to the real world outside of British ivory towers and castles in the air – they are long-gone…

So how do we become a united nation once again? We get out of Europe immediately and restore the Commonwealth to its rightful place in our history and society. We get rid of all the Europeans that have no right in our country, and we deport terrorists rather than boarding them in a quality lifestyle most of our pensioners cannot afford. We get religion sorted, and evict those who challenge our beliefs. This would actually include our own Queen, a German by birth who as ‘Defender of the Faith’ (Henry the V style) is known to be a Catholic. I don’t really care – she allowed our country to be sold out to her German family hereditary - and in my book, she is guilty of Treason! But then again, so are virtually all our politicians and people in unelected yet powerful positions, such as the Civil Service. This is all about Freemasonry actually, but I won’t bore you with that nest of vipers today.

However, I will state for the record that my Father fought against German domination of the known world in WW2. His Father before him fought in WW1 and WW2 against the same enemy who now obviously controls Europe. He spent 3 years in the Somme so that you could have the freedom of choice to listen to these words, or laugh at them. Shame on you!

I have also learnt that China also had a WW2, which lasted from 1937 to 1945 = 2 years longer than our own, and 5 years longer than the USA version. At that time they were already engaged in a civil war between the ruling democrats and the party of the people. The Japanese saw their opening and invaded. Whilst battling on all fronts, the Chinese spared personnel whom fought alongside us in Europe – so we have links I didn’t know about from the version of history taught me in school.

Expat’s learn these things, whilst you at home may consider the latest reality TV drivel or a football match to be the most important thing in history? You go to work for the financial benefit of the German government and don’t even know it. You have no voice, and instead are monitored 24/7. Orwell’s 1984 is a very close analogy to modern UK, given some modern adaptation and interpolation. The British Gestapo Police State is already with you, which is why we as free thinking individuals already left. Byeeee…

I could consider returning, that is if there ever was anyone worth voting for, but as it stands, all parties are basically indistinguishable from each other. BNP do have an anti-European stance, but are extremist in a bad way, and also controlled by the Masons – which you may not know? Therefore they were created as a false prophet for extremist in the hopes the state can tag them. UKIP are thorough blue chip Masons, regardless of their publicity, and so that leaves me with …?
No body, nor party to vote for. Unfortunately, there appear to be very many of us without a voice, and this will definitely come home to roost in UK politics, one way or another.

Please do not infer from these comments that I have since become Beijing’s puppet, for I am not. I speak Cantonese and not Beijing language. China does have problems as the mainly closed and reclusive society opens its borders to the world. By western standards their society is much freer, until you get caught – then it becomes very harsh! The Norwegians got it wrong with the Nobel Peace prize, but then, they have a history of this (They also awarded it to Putin, that Bush idiot, and Obama) WTF? Next they’ll award it to Robert Mugabe. However, it remains a political statement of intent. I am not personally on one side or the other over this, it is all very stupid!

The deliberate liars and cheats (Bush and Blair) appear to have gotten away with creating the confrontations in Iraq and Afghanistan. There was cause to overthrow Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War, only for me to find out it was actually instigated by the USA’s pleas to Saddam to invade Kuwait. Did you know that? Whilst he was a cruel Dictator, he ran the country as a country. What has happened since? Vietnam Number 2. The Yanks don’t get this, but I saw it from the very beginning as a con-trick, and ‘no’, I never believed Tony Blair or any of the politicians going down that road. The world would actually be a far safer place today if we stopped imposing our beliefs on stable societies, no matter how unjust they may appear to be to us.

And don’t forget ‘Carry On Up The Khyber’, as Afghanistan is the one singular place in this whole world where nobody ever wins. The British Empire was halted more than 100 years ago in this area, properly known as Kashmir – although no politicians of that time had the whit to drawn lines on the map to make it a country. A few years ago western powers thought they could take it … and there is no resolution. Obviously the British did not learn the lessons of Kashmir, nor the Americans the lessons of Vietnam. I’ll quote that great song by Tom Paxton: “We’re sending 100, 000 more [troops], to help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese”.

My question is why do western powers think so highly of themselves that they should think that way in the first place?

But first ordinary British citizens need to wake up to the fact that they are now considered to be a province of Germany, by the Germans.

And so I ask you as subjugated German citizens – although they haven’t told you yet … Is your mind right?

Well according to my interpretation the premise for Germanic domination of Europe hasn’t changed much since 1918, although published in first draft 1922 (Delivered as a route map circa 1932 or 3), and usurped by the Nazi’s in the 30’s – but the real truth is it is exactly the same policy, continuously. What Hitler did was to make it personal = so only he was in charge. The rest is exactly the same with modern Germany to the letter, except now they use the original premise where ‘nobody’ is in charge. Well, do you have a vote?

Sounds very familiar!

An alien from another Galaxy could conclude exactly the same about modern China, except that their party leaders are held accountable to a proportion of their population, whereas Europe’s are not. They also work very hard to sustain all of their massive country and disparate peoples, whereas Europe is only designed to feed Germanic economic dominance.

So what you need to know is that your elected leaders deliberately deceive you in order to make money for themselves + gain power; fortunes, fame; whatever turns them on. They have already sold out this generation many years ago, simply because there was no ‘no vote’.

There was once a small chance that Enoch Powell could have become British Prime minister, and whilst my vote went to Lord Such, I query why another Enoch Powell is not foremost in any political party today? He was probably right overall by the way (Excepting the last bits).

As regards the ‘Banks’ then I expect them to pay the ordinary people first before offering their complicit scammers unjust rewards and bonus’. But then to add insult to injury, after we taxpayers baled the banks out, they pay their directors multi-million-pounds worth of undue bonus’ for fucking up the world’s financial systems.

In my view of the world they should be paying us back first, and making amends in a very big way!

More the fool you for ever believing them in the first place, as they are rolling in your money right now, & spending it!

By reactive response; I have removed my personal monies very far away from any Western bankers clutches, and you should consider doing the same – at least until they acknowledge their debts to the taxpayers that allowed their derisive companies to survive in the first place. Like Iceland – I’d let them sink, but that’s not what our unelected German (European) government decrees; today. Ireland may yet call the Piper to play a different tune…

I expect Eire to issue the first real wake-up call to EU early in 2011, although Iceland already did so.

As for myself: well, I just wish I could find any party or individual in politics I consider worthy of voting for – but then again, I may as well just go and piss in a river

I’ll leave you with this deliberate misquotation and personal reversal by my small self;
Jonno
