Crime

Delusions

Some twenty years ago Chomsky wrote about Necessary Illusions, however today and after these last couple of years I think it’s the more malignant cousin delusions which is at work.

The numerous people involved with the “Crash” and the events leading up to it are all “Innocent”. The consequences of their actions are nevertheless obvious everywhere. The destruction of peoples livelihoods, bankruptcies, food-lines, austerity measures, the war against the land, everywhere except with the perpetually innocent.

A delusion is a “fixed belief that is either false, fanciful, or derived from deception. In psychiatry, it is defined to be a belief that is pathological (the result of an illness or illness process) and is held despite evidence to the contrary. As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, dogma, stupidity, apperception, illusion, or other effects of perception”.

A belief held despite evidence to the contrary. If we assume that we are not in the grips of dangerous disease what remains is, – false or incomplete information, dogma, stupidity, apperception, illusion, or other effects of perception.

Maybe thats the whole basis for perception (deception) management?

Equality | Impunity before the law

“Law and order are everywhere the law and order which protect the established hierarchy” Herbert Marcuse

~They say the only law in force to them are those which acquit them of any crime.~ Halldor Laxness

The Political Class or should I say the extended Criminal Class is loosing it.
There is talk (mostly hot air) if they should consider an Impeachment against their own.The propaganda tools are blasted 24/7 and all the boringly predictable talking heads tell us, that this is just a political witch hunt, that everything is wrong with the law, the law is outdated, ?the states own rule of law is at risk, human and civil rights can’t be assured and they are even promising a new financial meltdown if this abhorrent idea should even be considered.

The educated rhetoric is of course totally one sided. Bankrupting a nation, with the usual, job loss, loss of homes, bankruptcies and suicides of ordinary people is not a crime, how could it be? – After all, ministers carry such heavy political responsibility, even those who became ministers, without taking charge of their ministry.

To hell with the Constitution, get rid of the laws about the Court of Impeachment which legal academics have declared well thought through and written, and surely the Supreme Cort Judges can’t be trusted with the task, not to mention their own friends that pack the Court of Impeachment.

Somehow, I’m sure it will be much easier to “Impeach’ the 9 protesters that are accused of dishonoring these same untouchables as multiple billions in losses to the community has no tangible meaning to the majority of people, – including judges.

Picking and choosing from the law menu may be the prerogative of those above the law, lets hope that their approval ratings won’t drop lower than the current 13% so that the only thing they will be above is the law.

Ministerial advice

The financial and social destruction continues but now at the invites of the Social Democrats and the Left-freaking-Greens.

The Ministry of Industry Energy and Tourism has been brought to light to have advised foreign investors how too brake Icelandic laws and aided and abetted the transfer of our natural resources to foreign control.

Ministers would resign for lesser crimes in all our neighboring countries, however an Icelandic Social Democratic minister just refuses to respond to the issue.

The Report of the Special Investigation Commission (SIC) documented incredible incompetence in the civil service and negligence in official duties of ministers.

“Great lack of documentation is prevalent in the administration and communications are characterized by informal conversations. Professionalism was thus greatly hampered in government.
There is no doubt that political recruitments are harmful and reduce the credibility of officials.
Narrow legal interpretation prevented work to progress according to the aim of the law which in turn served private interests at the publics expense.
It shows how the prevailing mentality and accepted value systems can be harmful to no lesser degree than direct fraud and scam.

Many politicians neglected their multiple responsibilities and failed in their duties towards the public.”

Nothing has Changed.

Economic growth, foreign investment and job creation is the usual corporate propaganda drivel. Let’s Take the Risk Out of Democracy and hide factual information from the public.

Good riddance to “professional” politicians

It appears that the “traditional” and “vitally important” political parties and cohorts will be ousted from their comfort zone on Saturday 29th.

Before, in, and after the “meltdown” voters found their public servants somewhat lacking when it came to serving the public, and actually that they had reversed the roles, i.e. that the public should serve them and of course pay for the deliberate, callous and premeditated (reptilian) crimes committed by their sponsors.

It will be most gratifying to see politicians join the common people on the dole queue and thus share with the people what their “vitally important” brilliance has accomplished.

Quotes from “The Truth Report”

National Newspapers Editor:

” I’ve been monitoring this for 50 years. It’s a disgusting society, it’s all disgusting. There are no principles, there are no ideals, there is nothing. It is just opportunism and power struggle.”

Kaupthing Bank HQ:

“Hi Magnus, We didn’t finalize our bonuses for last year. I suggest 1 million euros. What say you. Bye. Se. ”

Sigurdur Einarsson email to Magnus Gudmundsson, date. 9th July 2008.

Kaupthing Bank Luxembourg:

“Thank you more than enough :-).”

Responses to Magnus Gudmundsson, date. 9th July 2008, to the above Email from Sigurdur Einarsson.
. . .
” The largest owners of all the big banks had abnormally easy access to credit at the banks they owned, apparently in their capacity as owners.”

” Unfortunately, it seems to be unavoidable to conclude that the state’s budget policy increased in fact the imbalance.”

” The Board of Governors of the CBI was more often in favour of less restraint than the chief economist of the Bank had proposed.”

” All the banks purchased their own shares on a large scale in automatically matched trades in the Stock Exchange.”

” During the meetings of the Board of Governors of the CBI with ministers, the bank would not be in the habit of handing out documents with summarised information, along with the bank’s review of that information and proposals for actions, where applicable.”

” In statements by ministers and representatives of the governmental institutions before the SIC, each pointed a finger at the other concerning positive obligation and no one assumed responsibility.”

” On 15 April 2008 Mr. David Oddsson sent a formal request for a currency swap agreement to the Bank of England. Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, replied to Mr. Oddsson’s letter on 23 April and rejected the request by the CBI. However, he declared that foreign central banks could help Iceland find an effective way to reduce the size of its banking system. In his opinion, this was the only practical solution to the problem. In closing, King said that he offered all the help he could provide to tackle the issue at hand. The CBI did not accept this offer.”

” The aforementioned procedures by the authorities with regard to contingency plans for protecting the financial system of the country, and other fundamental interests of state and the nation, were unacceptable. These methods were not in keeping with the manner in which nations with developed financial markets and administration operate in general.”

” In its supervisory duties the FME was lacking in firmness and assertiveness, as regards the resolution of and the follow-up of cases. The Authority did not sufficiently ensure that formal procedures were followed in cases where it had been discovered that regulated entities did not comply with the laws and regulations applicable to their operations.”

” However, when the size of the financial system of a country is nine times its gross domestic product the roles are reversed. This was the case in Iceland. It appears that both the parliament and the government lacked both the power and the courage to set reasonable limits to the financial system.”

” … the Commission was not expected to address possible criminal conduct of the directors of the banks in their operations. …
the SIC is of the opinion that Mr. Geir H. Haarde, then Prime Minister, Mr. Árni M. Mathiesen, then Minister of Finance, and Mr. Björgvin G. Sigurðsson, then Minister of Business Affairs, showed negligence, within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Act No 142/2008, during the time leading up to the collapse of the Icelandic banks, by omitting to respond in an appropriate fashion to the impending danger for the Icelandic economy that was caused by the deteriorating situation of the banks.
The SIC is also of the opinion that Mr. Jónas Fr. Jónsson, then Director General of the FME, and Mr. Davíð Oddsson, Mr. Eiríkur Guðnason and Mr. Ingimundur Friðriksson, then Governors of the CBI, showed negligence, within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Act No 142/2008, in the course of particular work during the administration of laws and rules on financial activities, and monitoring thereof.” …

The School of Lies

The Bankster School of Lies has a tried and tested technique, “give them something repugnant to deny”,  thus displacing any blame, works every time and while psychopaths have no difficulty with this, normal people do.

Liar(s) could be distinguished by these traits: 1.) Consistent destructive, scapegoating behavior, which may often be quite subtle. 2.) Excessive, albeit usually covert, intolerance to criticism and other forms of narcissistic injury. 3.) Pronounced concern with a public image and self-image of respectability, contributing to a stability of lifestyle but also to pretentiousness and denial of hateful feelings or vengeful motives. 4.) Intellectual deviousness, with an increased likelihood of a mild schizophrenic-like disturbance of thinking at times of stress.

The mass-media owned by the “Temple” drums the message, “You Owe Us Money!” (equivalent to the older, “You Are a Sinner!”) not specifying the: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. If we are stupid enough to ask for specifics, they respond with broad generalities. It appears that the “extortionists” have conveniently forgotten the insolvency law which states that recourse can only be made to the estate of the bankrupt and not to unrelated parties.

In The Battle For Our Minds we have been treated to the standard diet of: threats of isolation, fatigue, tension, uncertainty, financial jargon (econo-speak) of unintelligible terms, and of course no humor (debt is deadly serious).

Governments, lobbied by the finance industry, have removed all effective regulations including those for crime and fraud, all supposedly made right by the sacred and infallible market, finally shrouding it all in bank secrecy and international treaties, and still corrupt governments and private banks are our penance.

As we go up the hierarchy in organized power structures this pattern becomes even more prevalent and damaging. As the Banksters have through the ages claimed to be the “Treasurers of The Gods.” and to be “Doing God’s Work”, I can’t but include the videos from the Intelligence Squared Debate, due to the obvious parallels in hypocrisy, pride and prejudice, here are Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens.

People have been grappling with this curious lack of ‘humanness’ for a very long time, here is more on the subject:

Twelve Nominees for Bankrupting a Nation

.

After news of the “Truth Commission” sending twelve letters to people indicated in the “Truth Report”, the press is guessing the price categories to be:

.

For Gross negligence in:

Government:

  • The Prime Minister
  • The Foreign Minister
  • The Finance Minister
  • The Minister of Economic Affairs

Civil Service:

  • The Permanent Secretary for The Prime Minister’s Office

  • . . . . . . . Acting Secretary for The Ministry of Economic Affairs

Central Banking:

  • The three Central Bank Managers

Financial Supervisory:

All but one have now been replaced, but according to the rhetoric, “people failed, nothing wrong with the policy” ?

The “Truth or Black Report” is due at the end of the month, we will then see who gets the actual ‘price’.

Plunder: The Crime Of Our Time

“I used to think of Wall Street as a
financial center.
I now think of it as a crime scene.”

– Filmmaker Danny Schechter, Plunder (2009)

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men,
they create for themselves in the course of time,
a legal system that authorizes it,
and a moral code that glorifies it.”

– Political economist Frederic Bastiat, The Law (1850)
