  1. Hillary and Trump

    Clinton will be quietly parcelled off at some point. Her health problems give them all the excuse needed and she will be the sacrificial goat thrown to the voting public. Again, this is what happened to Cameron and Osborne after Brexit, even though they both said they would be there right through the negotiations-Cameron isn't even in politics now.

    It's the court of Clinton pulling in her favours. I see it as a kind of dynasty where Clinton is the POTUS in waiting and this affords all the privileges of the office even before the election. She and her court believe they must protect her as if she were the POTUS. So, they assume there is no requirement to be subtle or strategic, just set the dogs on anyone who opposes her transition to queen.

    I think it's more likely Egyptian.
  4. Obama's Decisions

    Putin is the new Thatcher.

    Rubbish, that's moderate opposition right there, handing out sweets to children and throwing flowers at the Russians/Government troops. The Elaine's Nursery front are friendly, caring people volunteering for hospitals and tending to sick cats. They frolick through the streets bringing cheer to all the residents, they definitely aren't using people as human shields.
  6. Obama's Decisions

    No, no, it's Thatchers fault.
  7. Obama's Decisions

    Don't forget the disastrous foreign policy, his failure in Libya, Iraq, Syria and Iran. The rise of ISIS and the refugee crisis in Europe. He has pretty much wrecked the USA. It looks like he did it deliberately.

    Our minister for defence was being grilled by a committee regarding the potential of a war with Russia. None of his words implied that it wasn't highly possible. It was that double meaning type conversation in which war 'tomorrow' was ruled out, but war sometime 'next month' might be on the cards. MI5 has been upping the threat category for several weeks now as Russia gets 'more aggressive'. More aggressive being defending Crimea from Ukranian Neo Nazis then holding an open democratic referendum on independence, as well as assisting Assad in taking down ISIS and AQ (Al Nusra) so it doesn't lose its military base in Syria and can control the likelihood of ISIS emerging in Russia. No mention is made of the US/EU destabilisation in Ukraine, nor our part in destabilising the entire Middle East which created ISIS, nor of going back on the promise not to station nuclear missiles ringing the Russian border. I have no idea how Britain, with a couple of rusty submarines, no aircraft carriers and no long range bombers could even consider doing much more than shouting very loudly whilst waving a rolled up newspaper. We might laugh at the decrepit Russian fleet, but at least they have one. We like to boast that our spend is the highest in Europe, but it is still very little and I suspect much of it has to be spent on high cost naval vessels as we have little of anything else. I don't like the way this is headed. The West looks increasingly determined to find a bogey man to fight and the rest of us appear to be dispensable nuclear barbecue meat.

    I bought fizz back when the market for it fell on the floor a couple of years back. As the pound buckled I've been awfully pleased I decided to convert my meagre savings. I don't have anything left to hedge, it will tide us over if things do get murky for a few months at least. Those that grasp the reality of QE realise the terror of the end game. It's really important to have some fizz as a secure hedge at least in the short term. I advised several of my friends to do the same thing. Now the pound has fallen and inflation is picking up they have suddenly got the Goldbug.
  10. Hillary and Trump

    Have you been watching the markets ? I worry that the election maybe overshadowed by something more critical. Bonds are beginning to wind back. The dollar has started what appears to be the beginnings of a collapse. It's very obvious that the PPT in the fed is now buying up company shares in a desperate attempt to hold the markets steady. The Clinton debacle might well be the black swan.
  11. Hillary and Trump

    Oh this is just too exciting, maybe it's all just a big hoax, or it's been set up by the evil cabal, but I'm going to need an entire field full of popcorn. Every hour something new. Have you heard that they are now investigating Clintons inner circle ? They are going to need that big palace Clinton is having built in Quatar and that $1.8 billion they squirrelled away. Those Clinton doubles will come in handy to dummy the FBI when they come to get her. I wonder if she is more like Davros the head Dalek in real life. A mutated head with one eye fringed by the remnants of once blond hair. That cackle erupting as the chair she is attached to speeds about crushing her staffers.

    Energy from Stars - it's referred to as fossil fuels, hydro electric, geothermal, nuclear.... The problem is that all the stuff in your home, all the solar plant and everything that it takes to tear it out of the ground, transport it, process it, sell it and fit it. All of that and all the people in all the supply and service jobs that need feeding and all the cooking, the farming, the fertilisers, tractors, harvesters, production plant all requires stuff to be torn out of the ground and transported and processed .... See the problem ? Fossil fuels are natures batteries, compact power sources which don't lose charge and are stored as raw product completely safely until we need them. Every quarry, mine, farm, or factory requires enormous amounts of instant energy to power it machinery. That is not to say that such things may be possible, but the problem is that it is the Government that is picking winners and losers for energy innovation. History tells us that they are not just poor at this task, but that they inevitablely create corruption and waste in the attempt. It is always the private inventor and entrepreneur that solves the problems the people demand are solved. The solutions are always unthinkable, unknowable and extraordinary. Shoving scientists and inventors down a route that the state thinks is effective, by politicians and academics that have never created a thing in their lives, is a receipe for disaster, for slowing progress, or worse, pushing us down a dead end from which we can't escape. James Watt did not require the Government to subsidise him to think of steam power, he just sat in his kitchen watching a pot boil. The first practical aircraft was not produced by state subsidy despite the amount of tax payer money spent on trying to do that. Neither rail, nor shipping were ever succesfully subsidised by the state. Only free markets and more importantly free minds working in that free market are capable of the kind of solutions that we will eventually need. If we don't implement that freedom to liberate the entrepreneur we might well end up as a footnote in some future Aliens history books.

    Hear, hear. The useful idiots appear to be completely brainwashed into supporting global totalitarianism.
  14. Before the Flood

    It's only necessary to understand how this was cooked up by Rothchild and Maurice Strong. Worth a read: http://ielts-yasi.englishlab.net/political_agenda.htm there are plenty of links to the video footage of the wilderness conference. I watched all this stuff years ago, but find it a bore these days. Like everything - follow the money.

    Not telling.

    Anyone playing 'the woman' card is demeaning, marginalising and deliberately giving wings to the lie that women are any less capable than men. It's another attempt to cause friction and fractionalisation where none need exist. It would serve these idiots right to get a good dose of Hillary for eternity. It would be a Dantesque hell for the lefty liberal feminists. It's funny how they are unable to cast their eyes across the pond, where, even 20 years after Thatcher was prime minister, these same lefty feministas were burning effigies of the woman they hated more than any male prime minister in the history of the U.K. Paliament. Ring the bells the wicked witch is dead they chanted in glee at her death. Do they have a clue about what they would get if Hillary gets the presidents chair ? That is a woman who hates woman, she hates blacks, Hispanics, gays, abortionists, the middle class, the poor. The world could burn whilst she cackled like a Bond villain in her nuclear bunker. I comment on the Conservative women's website in the UK and am starting to see a proper feminist backlash against these faux feminists. Strong women everywhere should stand up against these feminista and their male cuckolds.
  17. Hillary and Trump

    There isn't a great deal of difference. A cardboard cut out would be just as relevant. There is nothing to investigate because no one is getting investigated. The keystone cops are protecting their position of trust, just like the news channels try and seem honest. It's all a big sham with possibly Trump representing a destabilising force that will have to be accommodated. Clinton and Obama are like competing news anchors trying to win the networks favour.
  18. Hillary and Trump

    Physical ya know. :-)
  19. Hillary and Trump

    I don't think there are many Trump supporters here. You can count me out. The main thrust of the discussion is the bells being tolled around the world for Hillary. Trump is a bit player now, a side show bob, he is last week, Hillary and the FBI calling an investigation at 7 days out.....now that is huge news, that's bigger news than dead Hillary, robot Hillary of clone Hillary. Who cares about trumps minor civil court case at this point ?
  20. Hillary and Trump

    Coming tommorrow I believe. Videos of Hillary.
  21. Hillary and Trump

    The very fact that she keeps repeating that the FBI should release what they have, when those emails are between Hillary and Huma. All that is required is for Huma to publish them. As they are already emails from Hillary a way, then why is Hillary pretending that she has no idea what they are about ? Her behaviour is that of a common criminal taking the fifth instead of a Government employee. She should have given the FBI her laptop and servers as she knew all along they contained government related mail. She smashed up one computer with hammers to prevent recovery and bleached the other -an extremely expensive process which is reserved for top line fraudsters. Why did she do that ? Then, the worst, she has testified she handed over all work related emails and that those were the only copies - in other words she only networked government mails with her private server, now it appears she has sent them to any old laptop. The risk to the USA of allowing highly confidential emails to land on the laptop of a paedophile that is likely compromised is the equivalent of acting like a moron. Even if we ignore what was on the emails, that alone makes her unfit for office and is against the law. She would need to prove she hadn't sent the emails by proxy to anyone else-it has to be asked why the FBI didn't follow the email trail on the first investigation ? Hillary has acted like a spy.
  22. Hillary and Trump

    Nor will she. The game is far bigger than Hillary, she just happened to be the chosen representative of the group-the do anything as long is it gets me rich woman. That kind of loyalty will be rewarded.
  23. Hillary and Trump

    Right wing/left wing ? You really think that applies to Hillary or Trump ?
  24. Hillary and Trump

    Ah, double trouble. This will all fizzle out with Clinton taking her retirement somewhere out of the way as the punishment for her transgressions. Meanwhile her entourage will be unceremoniously sacked with a warning not to stir any shit.
  25. Hillary and Trump

    Except he hasn't been found guilty of anything. I don't imagine anyone would support him if he was found guilty of that crime, but I doubt he is. Whilst you support a woman who once again is under FBI investigation and this time I suspect the shadow Government has decided she is so damaged she will be gently, but firmly taken out of the race. She has become a liability which is likely to expose the depth of the corruption and contempt of the people running the system. I expect a kind of soft 'Clinton has been under a lot of pressure and this has led to some errors of judgement which has created a lot of distrust of the law and its politicians, Hillary has with regret, concluded that she is no longer fit enough to run for president....'
