OUR BANKS MUST BE UNSTABLE

October 6th 2008 02:12

Why can't our banks help kick start the economy by passing on the Reserve Banks cut in interest rates tomorrow?

The first reason may be that the private banking system is so unstable that they need the money coming in. This is the Kevin Rudd/Wayne Swann line, and it makes me feel very uncomfortable, for the Reserve Bank is cutting the interest rate to keep money flowing. However the banks appear to be closing down business in a big way which is not exactly the spirit being foisted on us by the Reserve.

The second reason is that they're slow on the uptake and are still looking after their investors money, not heeding the needs of the nation's economy.

Meanwhile Rudd is telling us to heed the regulators advice, as his government is doing, not understanding that they are the men who have us attached to the US economy and its antics.

RUSSELL CROWE'S SOLUTION REVEALS THE EXTENT OF THE BLACK MONEY PIT

October 2nd 2008 00:05

RusselL Crowe's solution for the US economy may have raised a few smiles but imagine if it was adopted. A $million for every American and a fraction of the cost of the $trillion bail out.

It would mean of course that everyone could pay off their homes and debts and have dollars to spend. This would easily answer the fears of the Wall Street boys and the Federal treasury that America would stop consuming. THAT SEEMED TO BE THE ONLY REAL FEAR

THEY CAN'T TELL US HOW BAD IT'S GOING TO BE

September 30th 2008 01:15

Why they can't tell us how bad it's going to be. They don't want to do the speculations. The reason they think they can help with a $billion dollar bait out (actually much more if you take into account Freddie Mac etc.) is that they imagine all those subprime houses are worth something now they've been deserted by the purchasers.

human race not equipped to look after nuclear products

September 28th 2008 00:39

The human race is not equipped to look after nuclear products. The disclosure that the US airforce has not been maintaining the country's nuclear arsenal, and hasn't for over a decade has to to be a terrible warning for all those gungho types that imagine that nuclear energy is going to balance out global warming.

If America can't dedicate some responsibility for a nuclear arsenal to a single entity it has to be a terrible reminder that that the human race is too flawed to cope with the planet's future

SHORT SELLING IS FRAUD

September 22nd 2008 00:47

Short selling on the market is fraudulent. To sell shares you don't own - in a gambler's move - so you can buy them when they hit a lower price and then pass them on to the first purchaser is blatant misrepresentation.

In any other marketing field you would be facing a prison sentence. Imagine selling a house you don't own, or a car you don't own, and then explaining to the authorities that this was just another way you dreamed up of earning money. You could explain that you used a model that operated successfully on the stockmarket: see how far it gets you

KEVIN BEATEN BY MALCOLM IN THE FIRST ROUND

September 16th 2008 23:52

Kevin's political strategies are becoming soft. The latest illustration is asking Malcolm to join him in scheduling a time frame for Australia to become a republic. A quick surface look at such a proposal could indicate that he had Malcolm in a bind. Should Malcolm refuse such generosity; could it be only a disarming move?

What it does mean is that Kevin does not know Malcolm. The new man is rat cunning, knowledgeable, emotionally intelligent and something of a charmer. He instantly turned the offer into an attack on Kevin. As the convenor (or driver behind the 99 push for a republic) he has surrounded the issue. He pointed out that no one in Australia would vote for a republic while the present queen was incumbent (alive? Is she?). Hadn't Kevin researched that? So the offer substantially blew up in Kevin's face. Not that he recognised that. DIDN'T FLINCH OR HAVE A COMEBACK.

AMERICA HAS ALREADY LOST ITS NEW WAR IN PAKISTAN

September 14th 2008 04:43

America has already lost the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan. You didn't really know there was one in Pakistan did you?

Well, it's begun already. Pilotless aircraft are bombing outposts in the mountains. Because the bombers are pilotless they have no idea who they are taking out. It's making the Pakistanis very angry indeed. They're claiming there has been no declaration of war against them

Gulf War Syndrome caused by stress not chemicals. Results are the same.

September 13th 2008 00:13

It's official. There is such a thing as Gulf War syndrome, except it's not caused by a chemical cocktail of pesticides and tablets to protect combatant from nerve gas. It's caused by war.

Not that Australian scientists are are capable of such lateral thinking. They say the Gulf War syndrome doesn't exist because the test on nearly 2,000 sufferers don't add up to the condition of chronic fatigue, headaches, dizziness, memory problems, joint pains and children with birth defects. The scientists at the Monash University's Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, just claim the conditions are caused by stress - from war. Or let's say, killing people and being frightened that you'll be killed in turn

Breaking new ground usually has extraordinary rewards. As Cibbuano suggested, is online radio an option?

Louie, every time I see Penny Wong I have the impression she's about to reveal the REAL ANSWER, and perhaps she will. She's looking worried.

Hi Sophie, thanks for the excellent platform and work. There's a Garret song called Toxic Peter going up on You Tube quite soon. It's not too bad either.

Hi Norm, a web site is going up in the next week with novels listed - and some being republished that you can purchase. What timing! One slits the bureaucratic belly of China and details my fisticuffs with George Bush snr (Compulsively Murdering Mao). That should be on the website and Amazon within a fortnight. Aaah yes, the website should appear under www.billgreenbooks.com.

Coming up is Freud and the Nazis Go Surfing (surfing noir).

Thanks for the interest, mate.

A friend asked: have you any reviews of your novels? I showed him and he was inspired enough to design the website. He thought they (the novels) were prophetic.

They did give them some recompense fog but the new Monash study must mean they're wanting to change their minds. I think all vets should be recompensed, and perhaps advised they can sue for misrepresentation: after all they were sold the gig on the basis they would be heroes not victims.

fog, you've added the arms dealer layer and that is p'raps the most significant, as you point out. I note that we've had the prospect of new fighter planes foisted on us because the ones we ordered aren't as good as the fighter bombers that Bob Menzies ordered and are apparently still in service.

Arms dealers are just used car dealers but better clothed.

Dr Nelson (when in the last government)was impressed by the style of the salespeople and so ordered the new batch of under performing planes, against the advice of his department.

The only hope for Australia is that when we're hit by climate change no one will want to invade us. What an awful scenario.
