The Rolling Thunder as Wall Street writes off Billions ... More to come...

"…Central bankers are surrounded by all sorts of experts and specialists. The problem is that these experts were invariably mistaken over the past year while LEAP/E2020 anticipated correctly the fall of the US dollar, the collapse of US real-estate, the subprime crisis, the bursting of the financial bubble, the ongoing crash of Spanish, French and British housing markets, etc…

At the beginning of last August, most of these experts were still negating the event of any severe crisis. Their incapacity in anticipating the real world’s evolution lies in two very simple (and non-exclusive) reasons: either they cannot tell what they really think because they are hired to say that “everything is fine” (this is the case for most specialised and mainstream media, as well as for ministers and ministries of economy and finance), or they are incapable of understanding the profound nature of this crisis as it does not specifically belong to the financial and economic sphere, but relates to the collapse of the geopolitical system created after 1945. In both cases, due to these conceptual limitations (of expression or understanding), experts are at best useless for the months to come and at worst dangerous, their advice being completely disconnected from reality."

Dog Shoots Man. Dog Fine.

Don't you just the love the shooting season (unless of course you are a hen-harrier and Prince Harry is within range) ...and the stories that follow?

James Harris ,37, was our shoting pheasants on the first day of the season in Iowa. putting his (loaded) gun on the ground to retreive a bird, his trusty dog Karl trod on it and hit him in the calf.

"He had surgery and is doing pretty well," someone is reported saying "He took between 100-120 pellets in about a 4-inch circle to his calf."

No one else was hurt, and the good news is dog was not injured.

Serve the cunt right, why anyone wants to obtain enjoyment from shooting wild life is beyond rational understanding.

Pity the pheasants couldn't gather round and peck the bastard to death.

The Venezualan Experience. Dudamel .. one hot Dude.

We are indebted to the excellent (and vastly underheard and underrated Rod Sharp on BBC Five's Up all Night) for flagging up President Chavez's concerns about 15 year old Venezulean girls on their "quinesa" or 15th birthday being given breast implants by their parents.

Unless hearing is going the way of Alzheimers, the report said that 400,000 Venezuelean women (Total pop. 26Mn !) seek breast "augmentation" every year at a cost of upwards of 2,000 Yanqui dollars a time... which seems highly improbable...but should do wonders for the tourist trade ... especially tha sad bastards who sit up all night or drive lorries up the M1 listening to this.

Chavez himself reminisces fondly about attending past beauty pageants. But when his televised speech to the United Nations interrupted the September 2005 Miss Venezuela broadcast for 15 minutes, hundreds of angry viewers in Caracas protested by banging on pots from their windows, blowing whistles and even firing guns into the air.

At the same time the child prodigies of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela will make their Bay Area debut(Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco - next up San Francisco, Boston and Carnegie Hall) led by Venezuelan wunderkind Gustavo Dudamel, 26 and the most talked-about conductor on the planet.

Those who have followed the ecstatic response in Europe have watched the superstars fighting to conduct them including Daniel Barenboim, Simon Rattle, Claudio Abbado and Esa-Pekka Salonen all who praise the youhful (and hey girls glamorous)Dudamel.

When Salonen leaves the Los Angeles Philharmonic,in 2 years Dudamel is lated to will take his place in Walt Disney Concert Hall.

For 30 years, Venezuela's music education program, known as "El Sistema" ( the state funded program that puts an instrument in any child's hand by the age of two)- or the "National Network of Youth and Children Orchestras of Venezuela" - has turned tens of thousands of youngsters into classical players. (Chavez takes the credit but it started long before he was elected) Dudamel the dynamic, rock-star-y conductor and the Simón Bolívar band (one of about 200 youth orchestras in the country today) are its shining stars.

The Department of Health in Venezuela devoted 29 Mn. Yanqui dollars this year to the program whichproduced 250,000 students who practice or play two to three hours a day ans 30 professional orchestras have sprung up to accommodate them, and 125 youth orchestras.

For a taste, go to www.youtube.com, search on "Gustavo Dudamel," and take your pick of videos: The wunderkind conducts Mahler, Shostakovich or Brahms. Or do an Internet search for "Gustavo Dudamel mambo proms," and click on: "Video gtltornt9 - gtltornt, 9 - Dailymotion Share Your Videos."

Girls, get ya tits out... this Dudamel is one hot Dude ... and he has dimples!

Northern Rock - sanderson contin ues the stream of lies about the company's funding

Matt Ridley,then chairman Northern Rock told a Parliamentary committee on Oct. 16 it had borrowed about 13 billion pounds.

His replacement as chairman Bryan Sanderson, told The Newcastle Journal newspaper, in an article posted on their website on Thursday November 1st in an interview with Sanderson in which he was quoted as saying: "The debt is not quite 20 billion pounds just yet but it's getting there and it could be as much as 25 billion pounds by February".

On Thursday afternoon November 1st , figures from the Bank of England showed Northern Rock has now borrowed up to 22.8 billion pounds since being offered emergency funds on Sept. 14.

"If a few little things had been different this might never have happened," Sanderson told the Newcastle Journal.

Such as the Board being involved in a criminal conspiracy, preparing and issueing accounts knowing them to be fraudulent, trading whilst insolvent and continuing to lie and provide misleading information to the Stock Market, the Press, the Public, borrowers and lenders.

A week ago we exposed the soraing debt at the BOE, the controversial history of Sanderson at the Alliance and Leicester and called for administrators to be called in.A week later it is evident that sandersonn hasn't a clue what is gouing on and continuing to make misleading and dishionmest statements.

Trade in the shares is a false market and should be stopped without delay.

Royal Blackmail - a long history ... Amazing Pictures

Once again blackmail and the Royal Family are being used in the same sentence, as Ian Strachan (AKA Paul Einar Ian Adalsteinsson ), 30, and Sean McGuigan, 40, have been arrested and charged with blackmail of a royal cabinet maker.

The problem is that the Royal Family have a long history of blackmailing, using fillums and video. Perhaps the most famous being the need to send the spy Anthony Blunt to Germany at the end of the war on a mysterious mission.

Prince Philip's sister Sophie married Prince Christoph of Hesse who had joined the Nazi Party in 1933. He became the chief of the Forschungsamt (directorate of scientific research) in about 1935 , a special intelligence operation run by Hermann Göring, and he was also Standartenführer (colonel) of the SS on Heinrich Himmler's personal staff. The Forschungsamt used telephone intercepts and listening devices to police the Nazi Party, and worked with the Gestapo against the Catholic Church, the Jews, and labour organizations.They also collected incriminating evidence to arrange for killings, blackmail, extortion etc.,

Prince Philip who had close connections with Edward VIIIth. The once lamost and future King was, Portuguese Secret Service files disclose, in close collaboration with the Nazis in Spain and Portugal to foment a revolution in wartime Britain, that would topple the Churchill government, depose his brother King George VI, and allow him to regain the throne, with Mrs Simpson at his side. Portuguese surveillance revealed that Walter Schellenberg, head of Gestapo counterintelligence, was one point of contact in this plot. After Schellenberg met with the Spanish ambassador to Portugal, Nicolás Franco, brother of fascist Gen. Francisco Franco, Ambassador Franco told a Portuguese diplomat: ``The Duke of Windsor, free from the responsibilities of the war, in disagreement with English politicians, could be the man to put at the head of the Empire.''

Therefore fillum of the future King Edward VIIIth fellating Hitler on the terrace at the Berchetsgaden with the nymphomaniac Wallis doing unmentionable things with Hitler's favourite shepherd dog Prinz, in the background, from Philip's brother in law was dynamite. Whilst the identity of Hilter can be adduced from his monotesticular state and a curious groin scar, and the oddly cut revers of his jacket. Wallis's identity has been disputed as being Eva Braun, but due to Hilter being horizontally challenged she was forbidden to ware high heels which the performer quite evidently is.

Anyway possession of the fillum enabled his mother (and crucially Philip's future mother in law) to ensure that he never again set foot in England.

Anthony Blunt was of course the slim hipped body whose image was used by Burgess to blackmail Mclean as he leisurely buggered the art historian. These famous pictures were taken (along with many, many others) at 6 Bendick Street, the house which Lord Rothschild provided free for the coterie of Marxist plotters for the course of the war. The tastefully furnished bedroom in patriotic red, white and blue with a huge double bed was the sight and location of many filmed orgies.

Paradoxically the address bears a blue plaque as witness to the home of Gibbon who wrote the Decline and Fall of one Empire , and also provided the locale of those seeking to destroy another .. and succeeding.

Of course blackmailing the Royal family is a delicate business as they are such adroit practioners themselves. It is for this reason that they maintain a record of the physical characteristics of each member for reference to check authenticity.

Consequently the many brief fleeting scenes alleged to be of "Squiffy" and Stiffy" have to be cross referenced on an almost daily basis, and that of their brief and amorous "friends".

This photographic collection used to be held at an MI5 safe house in Praed Street but has been moved and amalgamated to accomodate the Princess of Wales personal collection and the collection of glass dildoes that an octogenarian glass worker from Tetbury had fashioned from life from various royal personages, some out of vanity and some by admiring wives and girlfriends. It is essential to keep this updated to keep abreast of thje body piercings, tongue studs, tattoos etc., of the younger Royals and their assorted mistresses, boy friends and drug suppliers.

The advance of the digital age and the digital image is such that the tiny unit had become overwhelmed and is now located in the old stables at Sandringham (more correctly .. underneath).

The tsunami of digital gadgetry has also rendered new methods of collection of "evidence" and one of the royal tearaways ("Squiffy" or "Stiffy" it is unclear) had taken to using a (borowed) military night sight head set whilst roaming the drug fuelled orgies, so that the user could survey the action in the dimly lit purlieues of the royally infested clubs, pubs and boudoirs.( for really sick scense for the "zoo" clientele these can be maounted on dogs ... see pic)

To this had recently been added a tiny digital camera, as worn by the Metropolitan Police.

Unbeknown to the user menacing triple lensed and frightening headgear meant the user was providing a signal faithfully recorded on the banks of recorders deep in the bowels of the Met surveillance Centre. Strachan, a property developer and McGuigan (said to be a part time car valeter) had stumbled upon the footage of Princess Margaret's favourite son and part time DIY woodworker, cocksucking and cocaine sniffing whilst entertaining a "senior London Policeman". (He is also 12th in line for the Throne)

Strachan has applied for bail (his lawyer is the crazy bastard, Giovanni di Stefano - who acted for Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic ) which is being held as we speak at the Old Bailey behind (unusually) closed doors.

Princess Margaret was of course the star of many fillums, the most extraordinmary of which featured John Bindon who was celebrated to be able to nalance thre half pints on his member - which could be extended by a sherry glass (small) by Margaret by the adroit and skilful use of a curiously contrived golden finger stall that Cartier made on her instructions (aided, said by some, by the Duchess of Windsor).

It is said that when she arrived wearing this golden ornament the guests knew they were in for some high jinks and that the more "colourful" the display, the the more likely that the "colourful" house servants of her Caribbean hideaway would be involved in the evening's entertainment.

With thanks for assistance to she boy Tulipa Veeraswamy, "Roland Rat", and the extrordianrily helpful archivist at Baron Desmond's Sexpress Pornographic Film Archive. The fascinating pictures of Lord Levy and friends are safe in our safe.

L'EXpress / Sunday Times start digging ... Rachida Dati's life and lies (?) exposed ?

Sarkozy’s darling minister mired in ‘false’ CV row
My Fair Lady

The 14th Man - yet another of Anthony Blunt's recruits exposed. Amazing pictures.

It was the afternoon of Thursday 15th November 1979 that the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, prime MInister rose to make a statement in response to a Question from Labour MP for Hartlepool, Edward Leadbitter.

" In April 1964, Sir Anthony Blunt admitted to the Security Services ... he had been recruited by and ... passed information regularly to the Russian intelligence.."

Minutes after finishing her statement to a stunned House, Buckingham Palace announced that Sir Anthony Blunt, Keeper of the Queen's pictures had been stripped of his knighthood, the first instance since the trial and hanging of Sir Roger Casement in 1916. "Old Queen is outraged" was the headline on Private Eye's front page with a picture of the old Queen Sir Anthony Blunt.

Now a new book published in New Zealand reveals that Blunt also recruited fellow Trinity College student , New Zealander Paddy Costello.("The Sixth Man: the Extraordinary Life of Paddy Costello" by James McNeish is published by Vintage New Zealand (NZ$35) ISBN 9781869418915)

The New Statesman has a review of the book, published in New Zealand but not in the UK in which Francis Beckett poses the question ..."Was Paddy Costello a key member of the most notorious Soviet spy network of the 1950s - or was he framed?" Costello was a star of new Zealand diplomacy post war, revealing the Soviet possession of the atom bomb, and the first Western diplomat to penetrate the Nazi death camps at the end of the war.

PS : In The Great City Academy Fraud, published earlier this year Francis Beckett exposes the con which lies at the heart of what is nothing more than the Conservative’s old City Technology Colleges scheme, rehashed and reheated by New Labour. The present facts are these: that that a sponsor willing to put up £2 million may effectively control and run a City Academy, towards which the taxpayer will have paid a vastly greater sum, not to mention running costs and salaries in perpetuity.....Amazon

Paul Quinn, IRA fuel smuggler, murdered by IRA - DUP assist in cover up and Westminster remains silent.Business as usual in Northern Ireland

15 members of the Provisional IRA's South Armagh brigade beat to death lorry driver Paul Quinn 21, at a farm near Oram in County Monaghan last weekend.3 of his friends who had beenn used to entice him to the killing His three friends were later treated in hospital for their injuries. Quin had been driving lories with illegal fuel (probably sourced from the border farm of IRA supremo "Slab" Murphy which had been lost through accidents.

In a 30 minute asault Quinn was beaten to pulp and had many broken bones after upsetting the South Armagh Provisionals after getting the better of a senior veteran republican in the area in a fist fight.

Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, have condemned the killing and urged the public to co-operate in police investigations on both sides of the border.

As Quinn was buried on Thursday, the DUP deputy leader and finance minister, Peter Robinson, made his budget announcement in Stormont, feet away from his Sinn Fein ministerial colleagues.

Nothing more will be heard until the criminal gangs issue their next fatwah on the dissidents in their criminal ranks.

Where are they Now? No 452. D B Cooper . Amazing Pictures

UPDATE 25th March 2008 ... Wednesday, March 26, 2008
D B Cooper's parachute found by FBI?

The Boeing 727 -- first trijet introduced into commercial airline service had the same fuselage width as the Boeing 707 -- advanced , triple-slotted trailing edge flaps and new leading-edge slats, gave the 727 unprecedented low-speed landing and takeoff performance and could use smaller airports than the 707.

It also had a rear loading door for passengers, unique amongst civil airliners of the time.

On Wednesday November 24th 1971, Thanksgiving Eve, a man walked up to the flight counter of Northwest Orient Airlines in Portland Oregon, and bought a ticket for the 30 minute, Flight 305 to Seattle - a 30 minute hop.

He was later described as wearing a dark raincoat, dark suit with skinny black tie, and carrying an attaché case. He had perky ears, thin lips, a wide forehead, receding hair.He sat in the last row of the plane, 18-C, lit a cigarette, and ordered a bourbon and soda. He had given his name as Dan Cooper.

Shortly after the flight set off with 36 passengers and six crew members, he passed Florence Schaffner cute 23 year old stewardess a note. Printed in felt tippen, in capital letters, it read .. “I have a bomb in my briefcase. I want you to sit beside me,” it read. She did as he requested, then asked to see the bomb. She saw a tangle of wires, a battery, and six red sticks.

He told her what he wanted - $200,000 by 5:00 p.m. In cash. In a knapsack. Two back parachutes and two front parachutes. On l;anding a fuel truck ready to refuel. No funny stuff or he added manaceingly ..."I’ll do the job.” She passed these instructions to the captain when she got back, the man was wearing dark sunglasses.

The plane landed at Seattle -Tacoma, re-fuelled and the passengers were disemebarked as Dan Cooper had demanded.

Taking off ,he informed the captain to head for “Mexico City,” with more specific flight instructions: Keep the plane under 10,000 feet, with wing flaps at fifteen degrees, which would put the plane’s speed under 200 knots. He strapped the loads of cash to himself and slipped on two chutes—one in front.

Four United States Air Force F-106 jet fighters tracked the airliner.

Retreating to the rear of the plane he lowered the flight steps and stepped out into the roar of the engines , the night and our over the Cascades.

In late 1978, a placard, which contained instructions on how to lower the aft stairs of a 727, believed to be from the rear stairway of the plane from which Cooper jumped, was found just a few flying minutes north of Cooper's projected drop zone.

Aside from that placard and the later discovery in February 1980 by 14 year old Brian Ingram, of US$5,800 by the Columbia River in vancouver nothing concrete has been discovered about Dan Cooper (The jumper became known as D.B. Cooper after authorities questioned and then released a man named Daniel B. Cooper. That man was cleared, the name stuck).


There have been books, TV shows, documentaries, and death bed confessions even a fillum in 1981 The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper. Boeing also introduced a "Cooper" vane at the insistence of the FBI to prevent the rear steps being deployed in flight after several copycat attempts which all failed.

Nothing signficant has surfaced ... until now.

New York Magazine have a piece about the case "Unmasking D B Cooper" by geoffrey Gray in which the brother of the now dead Kenneth Peter Christiansen; Born Oct. 17, 1926, deceased July 30, 1994 from cancer. Lived in his own home in Bonney Lake, WA. So. Security #473 30 3599. He retired from NWA as a purser. His employee #33983.” ... according to his brother Lyle.

Traced to Lexington , South Carolina, Florence Schaffner, the stewardess who accepted Cooper’s note - she examined the photos of the ex NWA purser ...“I think you might be onto something here,” she said.

The FBI have rejected the theory as a solution to the "NORJAK" case, saying that Christiansen was 5-foot-8 and 150 pounds, at least 4 inches shorter and about 30 pounds lighter than Dan Cooper.
