THE WIZARDS HAVE NO CLOTHES!

Listening to a panel of self proclaimed financial "wizards" on Bloomberg, at the end of the day one is left with the distinct feeling that a troop of baboons pinning the tail on the global economy donkey would have as much chance of getting it right. 

The same old, same old previously failed solutions are dressed up as the 21st century model. Cutting interest rates to the bone? Have they ever heard of Japan; they've been doing this for two decades plus and still Nippon Airways is standing at Gate 13. 

Then of course the wheeze of printing money; first tried by a very desperate Germany between the wars; and that too didn't quite work, did it? Not unless you think the price of a loaf of bread rising faster than the speed of light did the trick. 

The Yanks have around $20 trillion dollar debt; and in the good old days starting or joining a biggish war used to be part of the solution; near full employment and plenty of gravy for most, but even that doesn't work anymore. 

When Capitalism looks more like Las Vegas and the Prophets of Finance have as much cred as the Greek Oracle of Delphi, it's pretty safe to say we're clueless and potentially fucked. 

JUDGE DREAD!

Judge Patrica Lynch

A British judge and a neo-Nazi defendant had an expletive-laden exchange in an Essex court, after the latter called her “a bit of a c**t.”  
Patricia Lynch QC was unfazed after the attack by defendant John Hennigan at Chelmsford Crown Court, England, replying to the neo-Nazi, “You are a bit of a c**t yourself. Being offensive to me doesn’t help.”

Hennigan, 50, was sentenced to 18 months in jail for making racist remarks to a black woman; it was his ninth violation of an ASBO — Anti Social Behaviour Order. According to the Essex Chronicle, Hennigan had 23 convictions for 47 offenses, including eight previous breaches of an ASBO.

Who said the Brits were reserved?

HACKERS, SMACKERS SO BLOODY WHAT!

Democratic Party officials reportedly are bracing for the possibility that another batch of damaging or embarrassing internal emails — the kind that cost the party chairman her job on the eve of the Democratic National Convention — could become public before the November presidential election.

That fear reportedly comes as officials with knowledge of a Russian cyberattack that targeted Democratic politicians and organizations told The New York Times that the breach was bigger than first thought and exposed the private email accounts of more than 100 party officials and groups — including the personal email accounts of Hillary Clinton’s key campaign officials.

The apparent wider breach reportedly has prompted the FBI to broaden its investigation, and agents have begun notifying top Democratic officials that the Russians may have breached their personal accounts, the Times reported. 

Blah, yawn, blah...so what? Even if Hillary was found in a stud farm stable stall at 2 am, millions of her Dem zombies would probably just say, "some, gal"!

Yep. It's a 14" whopper. Measured it ma sel'

SERIAL LIAR FOR PRESIDENT?

Some choice for you Yanks: the Bitch of Benghazi or Trump: the man that makes Barry Goldwater look sane.
 Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, has a history of embracing Islamists. He appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission; spoke at a dinner honouring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect; and received donations from well-known Islamist groups.

In 2007, Kaine was the Governor of Virginia and of all people, chose *Muslim American Society (MAS) President Esam Omeish to the state’s Immigration Commission. A Muslim organization with it's finger on the pulse and very much against Islamism, criticized the appointment. 
Federal prosecutors said in a 2008 court filing that MAS was, “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” A Chicago Tribune investigation in 2004 confirmed it, as well as MAS’ crafty use of deceptive semantics to appear moderate. Convicted terrorist and admitted U.S. Muslim Brotherhood member Abdurrahman Alamoudi testified in 2012, “Everyone knows that MAS is the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Omeish directly expressed extremism before Kaine appointed him. He claimed the Brotherhood is “moderate” and admitted that he and MAS are influenced by the Islamist movement. In 2004, Omeish praised the Hamas spiritual leader as “our beloved Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.” Videotape from 2000 also surfaced where Omeish pledged to help Palestinians who understand “the jihad way is the way to liberate your land”. When a state delegate wrote a letter to then-Governor Kaine warning him that the MAS has “questionable origins,” a Kaine spokesperson said the charge was bigotry.

Kaine's Immigration appointee Omeish was also President of the National Muslim Students Association (another Muslim Brotherhood "franchise" ) and served for two years on the national board of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the Justice Department also labeled as a, 'U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity and unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-financing trial.'

Jamal Barzinji: In September 2011, Kaine spoke at a “Candidates Night” dinner organised by the New Dominion PAC that presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for Jamal Barzinji

Barzinji first came on to the FBI’s radar in 1987-1988 when an informant inside the Brotherhood identified Barzinji and his associated groups as being part of a network of Brotherhood fronts to “institute the Islamic Revolution in the United States.” The source said Barzinji and his colleagues were “organizing political support which involves influencing both public opinion in the United States as well as the United States Government” using “political action front groups with no traceable ties.” Clinton’s choice of Kaine is widely seen by the Democrats as a way of strengthening her campaign’s national security credentials.(FrontPageMag) 

Must I listen to these friggin' peasants lecturing moi?

What with HRC's devious go-to-gal, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schulz finally getting her just deserts, only to be brought back to the bosom of Hillary; and a film of the New York Time's best seller "Clinton Cash" now a documentary available on Youtube - could stitched up Bernie - a man of little principle - make a come back?

GLASS BRIDGE AND GONGS!

Designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan, the world’s highest and longest glass bridge, the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Bridge, is set to open in Hunan, China this month. Touted as the next ‘Wonder of the World’ by Chinese officials, the bridge stretches more than 1,400 feet (426m) across two cliffs, is 20 feet (6m) wide, and can hold 800 people at once.

Meanwhile in Tel Aviv, a couple of gongs: Tel Aviv’s Norman Hotel was voted world’s Best Boutique Hotel by luxury American tourism magazine, Jetsetter. No prices given; and as the saying goes, if you have to ask you can't afford it. 

In 2015, the most stunning restaurant on earth was apparently the Israeli designed "Pastel Brasserie and Bar", located in the Herta and Paul Amir Building. The "Pastel" won out among the 4,000 projects from 35 countries which entered the competition (in various categories). The global competition was held in China; and whither palms were greased or the eatery prize was given because of the blossoming biz romance between China and Israel, I couldn't possibly say.

SORT YOUR OWN PROBLEMS, PLONKERS!

Westie liberal politicos lecturing Israel, are like the captain of the Titanic giving speeches on iceberg avoidance. 

For many Arabs and Muslims, the conflict with Israel is not and never has been about a withdrawal to the pre-1967 cease fire lines. These opponents have no intention of recognising Israel's right to exist, even if it allows for the creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.

A leading cleric, Dr. Ali Daghi, Secretary-General of the International Muslim Scholars, wrote: 

"There is a consensus among Muslims, in the past and present, that if an Islamic land is occupied, then its inhabitants must declare jihad until it is liberated from the occupiers. Anyone who calls for peace with Israel should be brought to trial for high treason. Normalisation is treason!" — Ramzi Al-Harbi, Saudi writer. Realpolitik is not something the Koranics readily understand. (You might have noted that al-Harbi makes no mention that it was Islam's rampage across the Middle East and North Africa which stole the land from the previous tenants in the first place!)

Israel, Sir? I'm just the chap to sort this little problem out

These are not fringe voices. This is the mainstream Arab and Islamic societies' mentality and mindset. Obama, the EU and liberal media should cease their endless prattle for yet another "peace push" and stop blaming Israel for boils and bad breath; and just for once, should actually listen to what Islam's finest is saying. 

What really bothers Islam is not the "normalisation" with the "Zionist entity," but the fact that Israel exists. For Arabia's great unwashed, jihad against Israel is the solution, not another peace initiative endorsed by unelected Arab dictatorships and Westie numpties. Sort out your own Muslim problems you toss-pots!

JUST A COINCIDENCE?

OR...did a bag man call on the alleged "leaker"?

The current party of treason a.k.a. the butt end of the Obama/Clinton regime - have blamed the DNC email dump on Russia, Trump-Russia alliance and the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow. 
Now WikiLeaks is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich. In an Aug. 8 interview with Dutch TV, WikiLeaks founder and top narcissist, Julian Assange spoke about the Rich murder case. 

Was Seth Rich  just unlucky or otherwise?

The NBC Channel 4 in Washington has said Seth’s mother, Mary Rich, that  police “told her family her son may have been the victim of an attempted robbery.”
Rich’s father told The Washington Post that Seth’s watch, wallet and credit cards were not taken.
Hmm...one has to be totally naive to believe that it's just the Mafia's Billy Bananas that do folk "in". Every government, the Vatican et al will send anyone whom they regard as a serious threat, for an early bath.
