ORGANIC VS NON-ORGANIC FOOD



SUMMARY  Ever since the report was written by scientists about the Organic food it is  now more available also the consumers gone wise and demanded it. Although more expensive, which in my opinion, shouldn’t be but the taste is completely different.

I started to grow my own vegetables, all organic, and it just taste of real food. Backbreaking but its worthwhile.

2012 - A scientific report stated that there is no difference between organic and non-organic nutritious wise.  Surely, they went into it thoroughly to get this result and it must have cost a lot of money, no disrespect meant, but Organic bound to be better without chemicals

Now if you read between the lines, of course, taste-wise might not be any difference but the very point is which they avoided is the non-organic food has any amount of pesticides and all sort of other chemicals. This is the very point organic food is healthier. They could have saved a lot of money because common sense would tell you that chemicals don't do you any good, especially in the long run.

Ever since the report came out, I only found half of the products organic, in the supermarket. Isn't it amazing? I was so please, at long last, there was organic food available. I know it cost more which to my mind shouldn't be because the organic farm safes a lot of money on buying chemicals and pesticides plus labour in spraying it onto the crop. Also, organic soil will produce crops much longer and the ground water will not be contaminated.

I wonder whether the chemical industry was at the bottom of that scientific report and I wouldn't be surprised. They would lose millions if the organic food production spreads.

We have had too many reports of high contamination of rivers and groundwater. The bees and birds’ reproduction is slowing down rapidly due to chemicals. It’s about time the public found out and instead of consuming a lot of contaminated food. The latest scandal was putting plastic powder into the milk. Especially milk, I think, it is not only disgusting but criminal because babies and small children drink it a lot. This again wouldn't happened if it was switched over to organic milk and the price lowered to be more affordable.

Why are human beings in such poor health all around? Let's face it we are. Even babies having illnesses and diseases of an unbelievable amount. I am sure I am not wrong in believing that all these chemicals are mostly the course of it. Just to give you one example, apples are sprayed 18 times with chemicals. On top of it they tell us we should eat more fruit.

Organic baby products should be in forced by law. I am sure organic baby food is better.

Then you have all these allergies which were never about in the so called good old days, not to that extent. Surely it has to make sense that organic shampoo and organic skin care just to name two has to be better.

In the olden days, farms used natural matters like dung and spread it on their fields. For the vegetable garden they used to throw all the vegetable waste onto the compost and the leaves in the autumn. They never used pesticides and the vegetable tasted fresh because they were grown natural. The poultry was all day long in the orchard and they were given organic grain.

My final plea, please introduce some more organic food into the supermarket and lower the prices to make them affordable to most of the people. It would safe a lot of money on doctors and hospitals in the long run.

EVIL HAS NO VICTORY


SUMMARY  Looking back at History it shows, for unknown reason, that now and then Evil has to pop up with Dictators like Napoleon, Franco, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler and many more. Some have had just about a decade and few reigned for decades.

There are about  20 war lords who suppose to rule the world and decide over war, world war, recessions, depression and so forth. Accordingly, they planned it years if not decades ahead.
  
It is amazing that Destiny has its own method of counteracting and their ‘glory’ comes crashing down. As if to teach us that Evil will never succeed. 


Napoleon, France, kept waring, invading and conquering other countries. He was living a dream that there will be no end to his power of domination. Then he made a fatal mistake and invaded Russia. From a start, he would have never been able to rule Russia  because of its size.  Napoleon got as far as Moscow when winter set in and it defeated his army. All along he sacrificed hundred of thousands of men. His army was frozen to death.


Stalin, Russia, came to power after Lenin and killed 20million people. He introduced a land reform whereby everybody’s farm was state own and people had to work there. He then confiscated the harvest and left the peasant nothing to eat which ended into a great hunger epidemy.


 Franco, came to power by revolution and Spain, by civil war when the Royal Family had to abdicate. Hitler backed Franco, but in reality he tried out his weapons. Franco ruled for decades until he died. The irony is, he put the previous king’s son back on the throne and for that thousands and thousands people had to die.


Mussolini, Italy, came to power before Hitler and Hitler copied a number of his ideas. Black shirts, big marches and the salute. It all costs as always thousands of lives.


Hitler, Germany, came to power by creating his party and sat in the Reichstag but boycotted every vote which eventually brought the Kaiser’s Government down and it was a win for the National Party. Hitler was a total Dictator, anyone objecting was imprisoned.  He blindfolded people with big marshes and quietly planned to conquer the world. Genocide the Jewish people and ended up in a World War 2 which was his defeat.


At the moment, there is Israel trying to dominate the West and to some extend they succeed. Israel eliminates Palestinians from their land by killing, false imprison, house and land confiscation and destroying it. 

At the end, Israel will and already had been attacking neighbouring countries to gain more territories. It was tolerated by USA, UK, EU, UN since 1948 when Britain gave Jews their ‘promised land’ but lately EU started to boycott it by sanction. Several other countries do retaliate to Israel’s treatment of Palestinians but not as much as they should do..


Is it a start of the big come-down? Maybe Destiny might turn the table again and like many people now saying enough is enough. Evil comes and goes but it cant be tolerated for too long, let alone to stay forever, which is a good thing and gives Hope.

FRAUDSTER IN CITY SUITS


 A group of men managed to plunder Europe for E60trillion. They are known as cowboy traders, seasoned tax lawyers and mathematical genius. They were working in heart of the City of London.  
                               

In Britain, the so-called “cum-ex” scandal, a complex, derivatives juggling act, was not mentioned on BBC News or the Tory controlled Press. One reason, headlines were full of Brexit; the other assumed reason is too many ‘Elite’ names involved. The fraudulent scheme was discovered in 2017. 


However, in Europe the French Newspaper, Le Monde, called it the “robbery of the century” and the news made an impact as much as Brexit on the opinion of Britain.

The Dutch media labelled it as “organised crime in pinstriped suits” and stated that they welcome Brexit.


Germans welcome Britain exit from EU hoping it could weaken interference of London Investment Banking on Europe Finance.


A British former investment banker who was part of the development of the scheme gave the public an insight of the scheme and what encouraged the men to use it. 


Martin Shields, spoke at a reginal court in Bonn, Germany, where he is one of the two former bankers on trial for 34 serious tax fraud between 2006 and 2011. He described how London banking system brought in the brightest scientists from the country’s top universities to use them to improve their profit margins. Nobody ever mentioned morals and/or legal consequences.  


Mr Shields, 41, explained further “This was the environment at that time; a financial industry that - at least as far as I could see – was geared towards maximum profit optimisation.”


“One tool to achieve this goal was tax optimisation: avoiding taxation as far as possible – and taking advantage of any opportunities that could be found or created. This was not the clandestine approach of a few. Rather, I saw it as the clear and openly communicated expectation of most major banks and their customers.”


Mr Shields was known as a maths prodigy at school and was offered a junior position at Merrill Lynch after position engineering, economics and management at Oxford University; the trading room floor offered him a thrilling, dynamic environment. From 120 engineers in his group at university only five went into engineering.


Dressed in a dark-blue suit used his banker’s jargons and talked the court through “cum-ex ecosystem” a labyrinthine trade chains he dealt with and controlled. 

Prosecutors stated it cost the German state E450m. A translator struggled with the City trader jargon to keep up with it.


As expected, the financial rewards were out of this world. Shields practised cum-ex trades through Balance Capital based in Gibraltar. His personal income was E12m. 

Shields and his wife purchased in 2010 a £9,7m mansion in Chelsea’s Egerton Crescent. They bought another property at Edward Terrace on Shrewsbury Road, Dublin, the most expensive residential street.


Shields did not reply to the charges of serious tax fraud at court, but he said later he started to regret his action; money taken by the devised schemes could have been available for building houses, roads, hospital and so on.


He told the court: “I often ask myself whether if I had my time again I would do things differently. Knowing what I know now, the answer is obvious. I would not have involved myself in the cum-ex industry.”


After a struggle, he decided to cooperate with the investigation which could reduce his 10-year jail sentence. The other accused banker Nick Diable, 39, worked with Shields for Germany’s fourth largest bank HypoVereinsbank (HVB) will give a testimony during the trial. The trial will last until next year. 


Shields cum-ex trades were dealings on an “industrial scale” during the beginning of 21st century. Just to give you a glimpse into the underworld of banking it involved a vast number of banks, companies, brokers, lawyers and financial advisers. How huge and complicated the whole scheme was shows it took at least 12 transaction.


The banks and financial institutions mentioned during two days’ court sessions also included Clearstream AG, 100% owned subsidiary of Deutsche Boerse AG.  It will process the dividend compensation payments and Shields suggested to keep the cum-ex bonanza going; German Lawmakers tried to close a loophole in 2007.


The court was packed with lawyers from high-profile banks and financial institutions, If the Judge in Bonn rules that cum-ex trades did not only use legal loopholes but the law at that time it will be one of the biggest scandals in the financial history.


Mora was the director of Cinnamon Club, Indian Restaurant, where politicians and business’ people were meeting, and cum-ex deals made. Die Zeit named the restaurant “cum-ex lounge”. Moira denied all wrongdoing. According to him all his trades were approved by legal experts. 


Another investigation held in Cologne for the same scheme. Prosecutors probing into 56 cases with 400 suspects about cum-ex deals.  They were charged with the scheme in Denmark.


Estimated losses include an estimated €31.8 bn Germany, at least €17bn for France, €4.5bn in Italy, €1.7bn in Denmark and €201m for Belgium.


Cologne investigation’s prosecutors state cum-ex wasn’t a legal tax trading strategy. It was a white-collar organised crime, one of the biggest in history.


Hanno Berger supposed t6o be the architect of the scheme. A well -known tax officer became a tax lawyer whose clients are the owner of BMW and ADIDAS. Berger was named as the mastermind and was accused of tax fraud in Wiesbaden.  He maintains his dealings are lawful and the case had not appeared in court so far.


Paul Robert More, 51, Kiwi. Mora had knowledge of tax law when he joined investment banking in the City of London. At HypoVereinsbank he had his own investment bank Balance Capital and Arunvill, MorThey and been called “the men who plundered Europe”.    
                                            

Sanjay Shah, a British-born son of Indian immigrants from Kenya is the key figure for investigations in Denmark, where prosecutors say he defrauded the treasury to the tune of €1.3bn, mainly through his hedge fund Solo Capital LLP, by copying the system used by Berger. Shah has denied any wrongdoing.

Unfortunately as always, we hear about great News and then it vanishes again without any update or result. It happened in this case as well; therefore we never heard of the outcome.

EVIDENCE OF AUSTERITY



SUMMARY   It is revealed that Austerity was unnecessary after Johnson was spending £500bln in one year during Covid on untendered contracts for Track/Trace and PPE/Ventilators to his friends which wasn't done! Austerity should be cancelled now!

Hopeful Johnson will be intervene and rescue the Pension Fund of Arcadia Group this time.

After an already longest list of small and big chain-stores either already bankrupt or cutting drastically their branches the latest is now the Arcadia Group owned by Sir Philip Green. Green already drove BHS into closure with the Pension Fund of estimated £500mln missing. somehow its no surprise that Arcadia Group is heading for Bankruptcy. Will the Pension Fund be paid out to 15,000 staff losing their job?

Johnson and his Tory Government did not issue a Quarter Report on Economy at the end of September. The previous report showed a deficit and no need to guess it will show another one; maybe even bigger. They also did not do an Autumn Budget.



Experts and the Public are not easily fooled although Johnson tries his best.


It is so obvious when you walk down the High Street. Rows of boarded up small shops and big Stores with sale signs for closing down and big price reduction in red across their windows.


Johnson and his Government achieved finally an economic disaster because of Austerity and the newly established Universal Credit. People are at their rock bottom or beyond and cannot afford to buy anything. They even have to make a choice between to buy food or pay for heating. Streets are littered with rough sleepers and all that in a country to be the fifth richest in the world.


Apart from big companies left the country or even being sold by this Government; big Store Chains are now in trouble and have to either close down a great number of stores or go bankrupt. Amongst them are very well known and old names which had been around for centuries.


Here is a list of some of the 1,243 Stores in 500 Top High Street which will close down in 2020:

Plus TATA - British Steel announced cuts 1,000 jobs

Plus NPower - energy provider - cuts 4,500 jobs

Mothercare gone into administration - 79 stores - 2,500 job loss


Debenham – 4,000 Job loss


Marks and Spencer – 959 stores close


Toys R Us

Topshop – 500 Stores close

New Look - 90 Stores close

Poundworld

Maplin - 2,500 job loss

House of Frazer

Evans Cycles

Sainsbury, Argos, Asda – 125 stores close

Morrison – 2,600 job loss

Miss Selfridges –

Next – 200 stores close

Lingerie Outlet St – including DKNY, Vanity Fair, stopped trading

Yorkshire Linen

Karen Millen – bankrupt - plus further 18 stores

Select – 1,800 job loss

Thomas Cook went into administration but saved by Hays Travel

Abermarle + Bond – 400 staff and 100 branches close

Foot Locker – close 1100 stores in UK

Bennetts – largest Dept Store in the World struggling to survive but closed shops

tRed in administration since 2017 saved by shutting down some branches

HARRY AMIES on Saville Row – closed down

Office Outlet – 1,200 job loss

J Jill – closes 75 stores


It is no surprise that the economy finally grinds to a standstill after 9 years of Tory Government constant cut down in Welfare, Councils, Civil Service, Universal Credit and rising prices in energy tariffs, food and clothing.


It is a surprise it lasted so long and did not crush any earlier.


Now, Johnson heading for GE19 and promises anything and everything, but it is too late. The economy is at its final. 

Car industry, which is always the backbone of the Economy, announced that they would go ahead with re-location which means another great loss of jobs.


Johnson is now determined to sign a TTIP and sale of NHS with Trump which means UK get colonised and NHS privatised all for the benefit of Johnson, his gang and Trump.


Hopefully, he wont be able to achieve it before his, hopefully, non-re-election on 12 December, 2019

ROTHSCHILD


SUMMARY  Rothschild is a Banking Family existing for 200 years. They have great influences in both the economic and political affairs, most of the World during 19th, 20th and 21th centuries.



The Rothschild banking house started in the 18th century by Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812). He was a Frankfurt moneylender.



He and his 5 sons set up prosperous banking houses in London, Paris, Vienna and Naples. They mainly negotiated loans to European governments during the 19th century and with that they gained a lot of power and influences.



Mayer’s son Nathan (1777-1836) established the London Branch in 1804; his son Lionel (1808-79) was the first Jew in British House of Commons in 1858.



Lionel lent the British Government £4 million in 1875 which was a very considerable sum in those days. It enabled Britain to buy Suez-Canal shares.



His son Nathan (1840-1915) was the first Jewish British Peer and an unofficial head of French and British Jews.



His son Lionel Walther (1868-1937), the second baron, a scientist, scholar and chairman of the British Zionist Federation. British PM Balfour, at that time,  declared in a speech in 1917, he was concerned about a national home for Jews and it would be in Palestine.



ZIONISM is a political movement and not a religion. It advocates the return of Jews to Palestine. The founder of Zionism was Theodor Herzl, who published his JEWISH STATE, outlining a scheme for a Jewish State under Ottoman rule. In 1897, he established the World Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland.



The British Government started to support a homeland for the Jews in 1917 due to Balfour Declaration.



In 1920 Britain was told by the League of Nations to govern Palestine which lasted till 1948. During this time, the World Zionist Organisation, chaired by Chaim Weizmann, started developments for Jewish communities in Palestine. It created conflicts between Palestinian Arabs and the British.



A major international support to establish a Jewish Homeland, Israel, started in 1948 after the Nazis’ Holocaust. 
  
It was an incredible, still unbelievable and unforgiveable genocide of Jews. 



It should have never been allowed to happen but as then and now the Nazis were financially supported like Israel today and both were not stopped. It is shocking and surprising that Israel, which had the worst experiences in history, is doing the same to Palestinians only with different methods. It’s another genocide.


But coming back to the Rothschild family; Lionel Walther’s daughter, Miriam (1908-2005) became a highly regarded entomologist. 


Lionel’s nephew, Nathaniel (1910-1990) was also a scientist. He headed the British Government’s central policy review staff from 1971 to 1974. 


In 1990, the 50 descendants of Mayer Rothschild carry on with the family’s traditional Banking and supported charities and arts.

SECRET SOCIETIES RULE THE WORLD

Assumed about 20 Warlords decide over war, recession, depression planned decades ahead.


Most of the people shrug it aside and don’t quite belief it that there are Secret Societies really running the World. According to some reports, all World Wars and recession are well pre-planned decades ahead. It had been said that there is no major politican, banker, financier, top lawyer, corporate, top businessman who do not belong to one of the secret societies.


Three of the most powerful secret societies are Freemasons, Bilderberg and Skull and Bones.


FREEMASONS

Freemason is the largest secret society. It accepts men only and relies on mutual support and fellowship of its members. It has a complex system of secret signs.


To begin with, they were skilled stonemasons in the 14th century who recognise their fellow craftsmen  by secret signs.


During the 17th century building cathedrals had declined and the masons started to accept honorary members.


1717 a ‘grand lodge’ of Freemasons in London established a new constitution and system of rituals. It became the base of other ‘lodges’ in Britain and around the World.

1990 there were 6 million members worldwide including major politician, bankers, financiers and corporations attending annual meetings.


BILDERBERG GROUP

Bilderberg holds meeting of the most richest and powerful people on earth. It was discovered that David Cameron and George Osborne were attending their meeting in the most secretive and expensive places every year. It was still reported till Theresa May became PM. After that the whole BBC and press is controlled by Conservatives and only reports the given news of their party. A more detailed report on Bilderberg is on my Blog


SKULL AND BONES

Skull and Bones a Yale Organisation with names of the most important and famous people in the USA.


They are Witney, Rockefellor, Goodyear, Pillsbury Kellogs, Vanderbitt and Bush for 3 generations.


Other Secret Societies are OPUS DEI a Catholic organisation with 90,000 members supported by the Vatican.


ILLUMINATI

Established by Germans in Bavaria; adopted in the USA and very powerful. More details in my blog.  


ORDO TEMPU ORIENTS

Assures not be political influential but very secretive. It adopted Masonic principles and fights for freedom of individuals.


PHOENIX SK CLUB

The club has a highly selective student fraternity at Havard. There members are ambassadors, bankers, politicians and businessmen. The members making exclusive and lasting connections with the elite. 


ALFALFA CLUB

The club has an annual banquet at Washington and Presidents of USA give a speech. Members are Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Madelaine Allbright and Warren Buffett just to name the most important but to be sure there are many more with considerable power. 


COSTA NOSTRA

A Sicilian Mafia has contact in most Wester Countries with enforcements of Laws and defend service of their interest. It is involved in drug trade, construction industry, money laundering and arms trafficking. Members are only Catholics of Sicilian origin.


G8

G8 are meeting regular, All the heads of State have most global power. They include USA, JAPAN, GERMANY, FRANCE,UK, ITALY and CANADA. All the discussion and decisions are kept secret which already tells you everything.


These are just a few of assumed about 20 Warlords who decides over the World destiny whether it’s a declaration of war, world war, recessions or other major disaster to be inflicted on the world or a country purely for financial gains.

SCHOOL OF ASSASSINS USA FOREIGN POLICY


Melia Panama Canal Hotel with its vast pool, well kept lawns and palm-fringed path leading to a secluded section of Gatun Lake, beyond the mighty Gatun  locks at the entrance of the Panama Canal.


But the hotel, despite the luxurious appearance hides a terrible past.

From 1948 till 1984 it was the School of the Americas (SOA) a training ground for Latin American military personnel. 


“It was the School of Assassins and Dictators” says Julio Yao, a retired professor and former adviser to the Panamanian Government “Most of the continent’s worst human rights abusers were graduates of the school.”


Today’s luxurious suites were once classrooms for torture and anti-communism and the surroundings were ideal use for jungle commando training.


The students turned out to be the most notorious right-wing despots and paramilitary leaders of South America’s history.


The mounting pressure on Venezuela for regime change the SOA is still a reminder of US intervention which created anti-US feelings. 


“Closing the SOA down along with other US military bases in Panamanian territory was a principal goal of our negotiations with the Americans” says Yao who was an adviser to Gen. Omar Torrijos, the Panamanian national hero. He signed a treaty with President Jimmy  in 1977 which gave Panama sovereignty of the interoceanic canal and closure of American military bases.


In 1984 the SOA was moved to Fort Benning in Georgia but the principles haven’t changed. Every declassified document tells new crimes involving graduates of the SOA.


In February forensic teams continued to dig for the remains of victims in El Mozote, El Salvador, where over 900 civilians, including children, were slaughtered by the Atlacatl Battalion which was formed and trained at the SOA.


Other SOA graduates  are Honduras 3-16 which kidnapped, tortured and murdered 184 civilians.


Efrain Rios Montt, Guatemalan general and dictator convicted of the genocide of indigenous peoples in 2013.


Declassified documents tell stories reaching well into the 21st century.


Over 30,000 people were killed or disappeared in Argentine under Argentine military rule 1976-83. One head of state, LEOPOLDO Galtieri was a SOA alumnus.


Bolivian tyrant Hugo Banzer had torture chambers in the basement of the Ministry of the Interior, discovered in 2009.


Chile’s Augusto Pinochet never was at the school but the human rights abusers of his regime were.


President Donald Trump told a Miami crowd “the days of socialism  and communism are numbered not only in Venezuela but Nicaragua and in Cuba”. It not only brings back painful memories but also resentment and foster hate towards USA.
