The fourth group I have read are financial affairs because I had spent more than forty years of my working life in pension funds by the time I retired this month exactly eight years ago. Actually that is only a virtual truth [like in virtual reality] because I walked out of the Pension Fund and Financial World in utter disgust. The crooks and conmen took the financial world over after 1990 and I could not stand it one more day by 1998 but hanged on because I had a little business, some old loyal deserving clients, and I was only 58 having been born on 1940. But I walked out of it when I reached 60, took a few months to clean up my personal affairs and tuned my back on it.

You may wonder why I tell you this and there is a very good reason. I now watch [should say I have been watching] my old life from a distance and seen it falling apart. Please note, I am no big tycoon [never was] but when I said to my friends in 1995 and 1996 that our old world is being taken over by corruption even some of my old contemporaries thought I had had one glass too many.

In short, though I did not, and never since, provide graphic details or statistics, I did tell them 2008 is coming, except only that I had predicted it for about 2004/5.

Now the reason I am telling you this.

I still followed the news after my retirement and observed the growing “investment bank” fraud and the whole shebang of derivatives, mortgage bond packages, and worthless paper of “investment instruments” based on worthless derivatives and hugely inflated values of investment banking Photostat paper investments that eventually spilled over into the mess last year. To conclude this tirade, I believe we have only seen the tiniest small tip of the iceberg yet.

And final really final this time before I present my case, it is well known by people in the industry though hardly anyone else [and it is the latter group who have been caught for suckers to invest in the Photostat money business], well they don’t even know that in the investment world of today every corporation of any worthy size owns a stake in the other one. That is the cumulative result of derivatives, packaging and investment banking. Therefore, if one gets into trouble, the next one is in the same boat; if management and/or the executives steal all the real money in one corporation by the allocation of executive bonus and/or performance payments to leave just the derivative content behind [read Photostat money] the next corporation is in the same boat, or you may call it technically bankrupt with the first one.

Now the point where I need you and you may use me but it needs a team.

Time Magazine picked Obama two years ago already as next President. I have been following that love affair ever since.

Time Magazine is a sizeable outfit but is merely one tentacle of a massive conglomerate with many tentacles. That place is huge.

That huge place is rotten to the core!

That huge place needs a Savior or someone to cover up for them.

That cover-up has to be wide enough to include small banks through to Cabinet level and switchboard operators.

Find all the arms and tentacles of the whole colossus and you have a story.

Why did they pick Obama?

He was available.

He has a big ego.

He doesn’t know a thing about finance.

He doesn’t have a conscience or any morals.

He has shown to be willing and he is the only guy who can dress a fraught cover-up as a bailout and present it as a stimulus

He wants to be rich. I should call this Obama’s Private Agenda but there is no Blog Article by that name.

Get my drift?

How do we go about unraveling the Time Rag colossus with all the tentacles in ownership, shareholders, offshore production houses, auditors, and trusts? I bet you will find a very large sewage works.

You may wish to keep this out of the Blogs; I leave it in your hands to decide. But I am reading Swampland [the Rag’s Blog arm] in the meantime. You must go into that too; that is if you want to heave.

A small carrot for you: read The Plot against America by Philip Roth. It is not exactly the same, in fact not nearly, but the Media influence and the same deceit is in there too.

Thanks for accommodating me.

Thanks Eric. I notice I am now automatically logged in to submit comments on any of your Boxes as long as I behave.

It’s just the login name in which me email address appears for all to see. I promise you I won’t submit junk or spam stuff because I detest that on the Net but same time I don’t want all kinds of junk from people who look for ways to send that to any email address they can load. That’s why I once changed my email address and Password [to what it is now] after getting 30 to 40 offers for cheap prizes Viagra and the most amazing filth in my Inbox every day at a point in time.

What I am thinking is would it be possible when you receive something from me that you change it to be from the name I have above, in this case Eager Contributor Fan, or like the first one the other day Your New Student. I like using names appropriate to every topic but I often use Ole Grandpaw or my real name. It’s just the email address that may be abused.

I am sure there is a total block at WordPress for all Telkomsa mail in view of abuse in the past. We can’t obtain Blog facilities through Telkomsa at WordPress and my last email to you when I asked for progress was returned with a ‘’rejected, this a permanent’’ kind of thing or something to that effect. Our Son has an active Website and a Wordpress Blog that he got no problem because he uses another local Service Provider for his Internet Connection. He is now looking into that for me but it may take some time.

I like your Blog for many reasons, as you will see when I start submitting and you may use my knowledge and experience in any manner you deem appropriate in your Blog.

It was convenient to use this article because you made the change to accommodate me in here AND I AM NOT DISTURBING OTHER TRAFFIC NOW THAT THIS BOX IS QUIET.

Let me know in here of by email. I am anxious to start submitting my ongoing war with Time Magazine. They are my pet hate in the Media and they think you Bloggers are all hacks. I disagree, of course and will send you some examples of my artillery I use to blast them, in particular Joe Klein and Michael Kinsley. Two holier than though idiots!

You may if you wish and if it is possible inform me by that ‘’request email notification of new comments’’ facility that many other Bloggers allow for.

Thanks. If I get in you have me. If I still don’t it will be time to surrender and join the Democrats to help Obama serving a second term for Jimmy Carter.

Collectivist are not about making any sense it is about “Fairness” you know making things even:)

“I think cons are just selfish and cheap”

Think what you want, thats not what this is about.
Its a fact that we are the most generous people in the country.
Be it through faith based initiatives or independant charities
We just dont throw bad money after bad by using emotion and the wants of a collective as the motivation.

Your arguemet is incredibly weak.

Now, answer my questions.

Look, if you think paying taxes is a penalty, then do you also think buying food for your kids is a penalty? How about taking our the trash? Is that a penalty on you? Is it a penalty to have to live in an educated, healthy society? Is it a penalty to have raods, sewars, cops and firemen? And how can it be “equal?” If this country has been 10 times more beneficial to you, shouldn’t you be ten times as grateful?

I think cons are just selfish and cheap.

JMJ

So, I guess the guy whos down on his luck, poor, or just plain lazy is less of a citizen ?
Less responsability means less patriotism, right ?

Tell me.
Why should a guy making 10.00 pay 4.00 in taxes and the guy making 9.00 pay only 2.00 in taxes ?

When you can tell me why the guy making 10.00 does not feel like his success has bee penalized I’ll shut up.

Remember, I dont confuse issues in order to wiggle out of things.
A welfare state does nothing to insure our safety, the military therefor is not a welfare state and has a definite purpose.
In reference to your diversion the rejection is one of redistribution to those undesreved which is paid by the top 5% in this country.

Its not what they’re spending it on, its how much they want to take from us on a progressive scale, stick to the point !

JMJ;
“If they stayed home then they have no right to complain about their taxes.”

They probably wont and will see to that the jacka$$ gets put out of office.

JMJ:
“I think there should be less police state, you think there should be more.

Pay attention, I’ve always said it should be prioritized, not enlarged.
How could you forget that we have always agreed that the war on drugs is huge farce, gluttonous waste thats only purpose is to keep a certain industry afloat ?

JMJ;
“they are a responsibility”

That responsability should be equal, should it not ?
If I “pay” more responsability do I get a greater say so in matters ?
Should my vote and voice not count for more than the guy who pays no taxes at all ?
