The Economic Crisis Two words that no one seems able to utter are ‘Black’ and ‘Economy.’ When I worked in Italy a newspaper estimated that their Black Economy was twice as large as the visible economy. Nor is it only the soft Latinos that have a Black Economy. The words of the introductory song to ‘Fools and Horses’ - the UKs favourite comedy series, (24.3 million viewers for one episode), went as follows, ‘No income tax, no VAT….’ It featured a family of market traders dealing with goods of suspicious origin – stolen or fake, usually. And from such humble origins came many of today’s Market Traders – bold entrepreneurs, fearlessly gambling with other people’s money – and only coming to public notice, when - in cases such as that of the Swiss bank, USB, where a rogue trader (or, it could be said, just – trader – the first word perhaps being unnecessary), caused the bank a $2M loss. But it should not be assumed that Black Economy activity is solely attributable to the ‘Feral Underclass’ of ‘Broken Britain.’ The greatly admired Barclays Bank paid tax at only 3%, for example. So what kind of schmucks are we? If one listens to what the marching Greeks are saying, instead of looking on them as slightly humorous soft-centred foreigners - what they are saying is that they – the tax-payers – are being squeezed too much. What mucking sense does it make to punish the taxpayers – the very people who are doing the right thing, the people who are keeping the whole thing from going under! Let us assume that – GOSH - the IMF, and the political puppetry that turn up as leaders of their countries - are so concerned with figures that they have forgotten that the prime movers in all this are actually people! Imagine instead what would happen if all the members of the Black Economy in Greece were to sign up to pay their taxes – sine die. The Greeks themselves know this, and have been trying to tell us that. In the Black Economy corruption grows like mushrooms in the dark. As with all things hidden and secret, corruption thrives – and not just in silly Latin countries - need one mention the sending by the CIA and MI6 of opponents of the regime of Mu‘ammar al-Qaddāfīi to the torture chambers of Libya. If it weren’t for the recent finding of secret documents relating to this we would never have known of it. And the sociopaths who enriched themselves at the expense of other’s lives would remain hidden from view. So – what can be done to shed light into the Black Economy? One first step that could be tried – it certainly worked for guns and knives – is the declaration of an Amnesty with an end-date. Turn in your guns by October 13th and you will not be not be charged. Sign up to pay your taxes by October 13th and no one will come looking for you. To work, this “carrot” would have to be coupled with a formidable “stick” – making damage to the economy a treasonable offence would be a good start. This might seem somewhat harsh – but tell that to the grieving family of the suicide whose business went bust; tell that to the pensioners who went through World War 2, decades of rationing and austerity – and survived - and who now have to choose between ‘eat’ and ‘heat’, knowing that 50, 000 will die this winter; and tell that to the jobless youngster who wanted to be a doctor…. Of course such real economy measures as ending the Black Economy will not cure the unreal excesses of the Market. But as what was once a democracy has now become a “Marketocracy” – such measures may help in the long slow process of returning to democracy – where what one did and had done, and whom one chose to vote for, determined one’ s living conditions and future. Instead, the wonderful people who got us into the faeces are going to get us still further into the mire – 2 trillions deep. There is a lesson in all this. The Eurozone is globalisation writ small. If the failure of the Eurozone teaches us anything it is to be wary of globalisation theory and its unhinged would be practitioners. Throughout the ages the standard way of influencing a population has been to describe a threat. The good old technique is still used. The intention is to make you accept the solutions they have prepared earlier for you. You have been trapped.
Alexander MacRae -- Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield? There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PEPIS" group.
