More Than A Million Homeowners Use The Credit Card To Pay Off The Mortgage And The Gas BillsPosted by: Andrew Cheetham in UncategorizedMore than one million homeowners have resorted to taking out cash on their credit cards to pay their mortgage and essential bills, research suggests today. A report accuses the banks of ‘cashing in’ on their customers who are ‘desperate to get their hands on cash whatever the price’. Withdrawing cash on a credit card is incredibly expensive, and involves a much higher interest rate than using a credit card to go shopping. Typically, you are charged two per cent of the cash amount taken out, or a minimum of £5, and interest starts clocking up immediately. On average, the APR (annual percentage rate) is a crippling 30 per cent. It has shot up in recent years from just 21.2 per cent in 2005. The report, from the price comparison website Uswitch.com, found soaring numbers of borrowers are relying on getting out cash in this ‘emergency’ method. I bet the Illuminati Bankers are rubbing their hands in glee about how stupid the sheeple really are Debt upon Debt upon Debt !

Illuminati Bankers Seek “Revolution” by Economic MeansPosted by: Andrew Cheetham in UncategorizedThe Illuminati bankers had us where they wanted Friday. Everyone was in a panic, dumping anything of real value — gold, real estate, oil — and rushing into US dollars, a medium of exchange created by the Illuminati bankers out of nothing with the help of their government lackeys. Why the sudden appeal of US dollars? There is a huge shortage of them because the bankers put our money into mortgages and then they crashed the housing market. Trillions disappeared. Now their lackeys in government have to “borrow” trillions to make up the deficit. The result: the bankers are trillions richer. Did they do this deliberately? Do you think Rich Fuld, the CEO of Lehman Brothers, got a $250 million sendoff for driving his company into bankruptcy? No, that’s likely his payoff for selling out his employees and his country. Multiply that throughout the financial industry. Throughout history the Illuminati bankers have always used war and economic turmoil to advance their goal. Since we have enjoyed prosperity, I have been focused on war. But now I must consider how they use economic hardship to advance their world government. It’s brilliant when you think about it. Depression doesn’t involve bloodshed and the destruction of valuable property. On the contrary, it allows the bankers to suck up real wealth at bargain prices. And people under duress will accept anything to regain the delicious prosperity they once knew.

As The World Snoozes, Environmentalists Cheer Turning Nature into “Rights Bearing Entity”Posted by: Andrew Cheetham in UncategorizedOne of the most radical alterations in the self definition of humankind has just occurred in Ecuador and the world snoozes. But the radical environmental movement sees what is happening and is cheering. From a Global Exchange press release:
Well, here’s the problem: Even if you want to thwart the evil international corporations, the constitution doesn’t just do that. It makes NATURE a RIGHTS BEARER that is co-equal with people. That means the provision will apply as harshly against the subsistence farmer as the corporation, who being part of the power structure, will often escape the snare. But that is not what this is really all about. Indeed, the idea that Ecuador’s new constitution is merely about protecting the environment is sheer baloney. It is a radical redefinition of the nature and meaning of humankind from the pedestal of exceptionalism to merely as one of the millions of species on the planet–as disposable as any other. In the end, if nature is a rights bearing entity, we will be required to sacrifice human welfare and prosperity to ensure that we don’t oppress the trees, snails, and other flora and fauna of the denizens of natural world. The problem is; other than SHS and the Catholic writer Thomas A. Szyszkiewicz–who first brought this matter to my attention (here’s a piece by Szyszkiewicz on Ecuador in the American Spectator)–the world is snoring. And so human exceptionalism teeters. This bodes very ill for the human race–particularly the weakest among us–unless we wake up and push back. Soon. I will have a more extended analysis out in a week or two. And I will keep pounding this drum! Stay tuned.

Mortgage Lenders Make A Mockery Of Master Plan To Unfreeze Market By Making Loans MORE ExpensivePosted by: Andrew Cheetham in UncategorizedBanks turned the screw on the property market as the number of mortgages available became more expensive and increasingly harder to get hold of. The moves make a mockery of the Government’s master plan to unfreeze the mortgage market. Northern Rock, the first bank to be nationalised earlier this year, pointedly ignored last week’s emergency interest rate cut by the Bank of England. Despite the base rate falling to 4.5 per cent, it has reduced its variable mortgage rate by just 0.15 per cent, to 7.34 per cent. If the full benefit had been passed on, payments would fall by around £50 a month on an average £150,000 loan. In reality customers will only save £15. The fear now is that the big three banks which were part-nationalised yesterday will follow its lead.

Cover-up claim as Special Branch Officer Admits Changing Evidence At de Menezes InquestPosted by: Andrew Cheetham in UncategorizedA Special Branch officer is at the centre of a cover-up row after he admitted changing evidence during the Stockwell inquest. The policeman, named only as Owen, deleted a line in his computer notes last week, which claimed his boss Deputy Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick initially said Jean Charles de Menezes could ‘run on to Tube as not carrying anything’. But today he said: ‘On reflection, I looked at that and thought I cannot actually say that.’ Owen said he had spoken about the amendments he made to his notes to a Metropolitan Police solicitor the day after he submitted his evidence. He told the hearing he had removed the line because he believed it was ‘wrong and gave a totally false impression’

State’s Intervention Swells Public Sector To Over Six MillionPosted by: Andrew Cheetham in Uncategorized‘Gordon Brown’s decision to nationalise some of Britain’s biggest high street banks will push the number of public sector employees to more than six million for the first time. In some parts of the country almost one in three workers will be employed by the State, as bankers and financiers join nurses, doctors and council workers on the government payroll. Overnight 233,000 staff from the Royal Bank of Scotland, 70,000 from Lloyds TSB, 65,000 from HBOS and 3,035 from Bradford & Bingley will effectively have a new boss. They will join the 6,500 who have already come over from Northern Rock and push total numbers of public sector staff to 6.12 million. The widening public sector is now sprouting tentacles in a number of new areas, as construction companies, advertising agencies and management consultants turn to the State for gainful employment.’ All part of the masterplan to make the public totally dependant on the state for their daily bread |
