The Dollar Is Sinking - Man The Lifeboats


As The Daily Stirrer predicted recently the position of the $US is under attack. Last week a sustained slide in the value of the currency was halted by the smaller Pacific Tiger economies, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong buying up Dollars that were flooding the markets. So whay is going on and how will it end?

The Dollar Is Sinking - Man The Lifeboats.

Not that long ago the Daily Stirrer predicted the imminent collapse of the US dollar. Exactly as we predicted the price of gold, minerals and commodities is skyrocketing as the Dollar slides on currency markets. There are a number of reasons for this, resentment of America's meddling in middle eastern affairs has antagonised the oil producing Arab nations, China has lost confidence in the American economy and is ready to dump its vast Dollar reserves at a loss rather than keep buying U.S. Treasury bonds to fund the insane spending and runaway deficits of the Obama administration and thanks to Sidi Obama's solipsistic and megalomaniacal habit of speaking belittlingly and dismissively of world leaders who do not agree with him America is rapidly losing the few friends it had.

So what next? Nobody knows. The developed world could abandon the Dollar in favour of the Euro in which case there would be turmoil for a while but in a few years things would rerun to something resembling normality. The Chinese could cosy up with the International Banks and Novus Ordo Seclorum freaks of the Bilderberg Group and the Bank Of International Settlements and become the world's economic superpower. Hardly likely Russia and India will sit back and let that happen. Another proposal, from China and therefore worthy of bering taken seriously, is to create a basket of currencied with their values tied to each other. These would include the US Dollar, Euro and Yuan.

Or we could drift into some kind of dystopian nightmare with the wealthy elites taking refuge in heavily guarded enclaves while the rest of us adopt the morality of the rat pack as we compete for increasingly scarce resources. I may have been reading too many science fiction novels of course. On the other hand in previous Daily Stirrer columns and before that, blogging as Little Nicky Machiavelli, I have been right in predicting all the disasters of the past few years.

To save this crazy, impossibly flawed world we live in from becoming a living hell for those who wish to continue to live as civilized people we must all play our part. Next time you are able to take part in an election, don't go mainstream. The more the establishment candidates use Fear and Panic to scare you into voting for them, the more you can be sure they are lying. They wish to make us believe we are totally dependent of big government, the Nanny State. Well big government has only existed in the modern sense for 200 years. Before that we were pretty much on our own, Kings and Emperors, Lords and Patriarch's did not give a shit about the people they ruled over, they believed their subjects existed to be exploited. And yet we did OK without the authorities that now meddle in the minutiae of our lives...

We did OK, our ancestors cared for their children and understanding that ordinary people depended on each other, they stood together in times of adversity. We do not need the Nanny State, we do not need the psychoanalysts who promise to help us be happy but only seem to make their patients more troubled, we do not need the social workers or the preachers to tell us what to do or think. Vote down the established parties; in the UK vote Lib Dem with reservations, we want a lot more maverick Lib and less politically correct Dem, vote Green so long as they drop the ridiculous notion of linking love of the planet with anti - racism. People who support Green philosophies tend not to be racists but would rather concentrate on saving our civilization than shouting politically correct slogans. Vote UKIP, they're a bit flaky but their anti - Europe stance equates to being anti-bureaucracy, anti New World Order, vote for the Independent candidates, Jury Team is their collective label.

We need a new assertiveness, a new self confidence. It will be hard but reasonable people can make the world work. Do not be frightened by the old elite and the scaremongering generated by their lap dog scientists. Look at the way they have fucked up over the past century and ask yourself can these egomaniacal, power grazed imbeciles be trusted to solve any of the problems they have created?

Former Government Adviser Condemns Green Scaremongering.
The trend among people who like to label themseves "scientists" to brush aside criticism from highly educated and well informed individuals outside their specialist field by saying "You're not a scientists, you don't understand science," arouses deep suspicion.

Toyota Allegro Reminds Us Of British Carmakers’ Golden Age.

Labour's Minimum Wage Scam
When you hear of a Conservative politician praising Labour for creating a 'flexible job market' that benefits British employers it does not ring true. What Lord Freud was really praising the government for was letting bosses screw their workers by turning a full time job into a part time job. Not the sort of jobs policy you expect from Labour but we're always said they are more Tory than the Tories.

Authoritarian Box Ticking Culture.
Among the things that have alienated people from the Labour party apart from generakl incompetence, is their arrogant and patronising conviction the public are resady to believe anything the government tells them so long as it is dressed up in statistics and delivered by some fresh faced, smooth talking Labour spinmeister. It is very like the authoritarian regime of Orwell's 1984

Teen Binge Drinking Crisis

Change You Can't Believe In
by James Dahlberg
For his first contribution to The Daily Stirrer James looks at how the popularity of Barack Obama, the Yes We Can" man has collapsed from the record levels seen right after his inauguration as President to the latest polls that make him the most unpopular president ever after a year in office. The economy, unemployment, the disatrous health reform bill and weakness on foreign polcy have played a big part but how much is due to the failings of man himself.



Massive Overdose Protest
by Ian R. Thorpe

Te Merseyside Skeptics Society (or more accurately the selective Skeptics Society as they only seem to be skeptical about what it is fashionable to be skeptical about) are going to protest about himeopathy today by gathering outside Boots Chemist, Liverpool and taking massive overdoses of homeopathic remedies...Right, who gives a shit, but this is a very funny post on the irrationality of the protesters without supporting homeopathy Homeopathy: Massive Overdose Protest
