The EU Shows Its True Colors - Enteignungs Union

Cypress is in the headlines 24/7 now - and it should be.

The government is stealing their money.
It is so plain and simple for everyone to see now, and it is impossible to call it anything else...
But wait! That's exactly what the EU czars are doing!
Witness Angela Merkel and her circle of Cuckolds rationalizing thievery!
Now we see the true face of the EU - just another criminal organization, spreading global communism and stealing peoples' money and livelihoods.
AND ALL IN THE NAME OF THE COMMON GOOD ... of course.
It is truly sickening to see these high sitting demagogues and dealers of death - and plain thieves of the highest level - rationalize their doings on TV.
It is all for the EU "fiscal safety fund" or "Rettungsschirm" in German - literally "safety umbrella".
To insure the EU states against another bailout á la Greece - or whoever is next - it is necessary to establish a "safety fund".
Where are they going to get the money?
Well if they can't rob, steal, or extort the money through taxes, fees, and levies, they will just take it - right out of your hand.
They are calling it a levy in Cypress - but the naked truth is there for the whole world to see and there is no way that they can change that or cover it up this time.
The fact that the top assholes in the world indeed are in TV trying to do exactly that - and rationalize and relativize their thievery, is just more sickening on top of sickening.
In German "EU" now stands of "Enteignungs Union" - basically it means "dispossession" as in when the government takes something from you by use of eminent domain laws.

EU  - ENTEIGNUNGS UNION - it fits perfectly...

Neo-communism , global communism, whatever you want to call it.
By the way, it is not the first time that this has happened.
The criminals at the top are indeed creative in their ways.
After World War II, Germany was in bad shape.
The Government needed to fill its coffers again.
What did they do?
They simply raised the property taxes by 200% and made the landowners bleed.
They got the money where the money was ... pure and simple.
The more you observe a big government, the more it resembles a criminal in every way.
Criminals do not linger around small towns where there is no booty.
They target big cities - where the picking is ripe.
Indeed, sadly, it seems all the governments of the western world now fit the criminal profile amazingly accurately.

Idealists

http://www.keirsey.com/4temps/overview_temperaments.asp

I have finally figured it out,

I'm a "Rational" and what I cannot stand the most are "Idealists".

Yea, they truly make me sick – people who can rationalize bad ideas, marginalize evil deeds and contort reality according to their dreamy aspirations.

An idealist doesn't care about a viable solution or if a project is realistic or not , "we gotta do something!",

So "something" is done ... and later on the others can figure out how it's going to actually be done or paid for, invariably the taxpayer has to enable this idealistic crap.

Marxism, Leninism and basically all brands of socialism are perfect examples of what happens when misguided Idealist are allowed to have their way.

For this reason alone Idealists should not be allowed anywhere near a leadership position, a position of power or anywhere near decision making roles.

They should not be allowed to vote either, because for them 2+2 can equal five depending on their point of view.

And their point of view is erratically variable of course, depending on what side they are on and if they are winning or losing the argument.

This obviously doesn't work anywhere where math, reason, and truth or logic are important:

·       Financial systems
·       Government
·       Engineering,science, math etc.
·       Basically everywhere where results matter

Good jobs for an Idealist are:

·       Folk singer
·       Actor
·       McDonald's Culinary Specialist
·       Artist
·       Dreamer
·       Janitor
·       Career Waiter/Waitress
·       Career student
·       Curator of the Karl Marx museum library in London
·       Ex-communist
·       Progressive elitist
·       DDR wall builders

The leitsatz of the Artisan

"Let's do it"

"Let's light this candle"

"You just gotta pick up the telephone"

The leitsatz of the Guardian

"We are a team"

"What are we doing today?"

"What actually serves our best interest?"

The leitsatz of the Rational:

"The truth is not variable"

"The truth cannot be interpreted nor does it need to be"

"2+2=4"

The leitsatz of the Idealist:

"Well we gotta do something!"

"Well the money has to come from somewhere!"

"What about the children!?"

"2+2=4 ... who cares?"

"2+2 can equal five depending on your point of view"

"Would you like ketchup with your fries?"

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

– says the Rational to the Idealist who hears not, as he ponders whether to take the Prius or the 70's VW bus down that road...

"Fair" and "Monkeys in a Cage Syndrome"

I recently had a very interesting conversation with a German friend of mine.

We were talking about how a recent seminar in Poland is going to cost 120€ for East Bloc residents but 150€ for "Westerners".

She said "Oh that's 'fair' because they can't afford it".

That was of course my cue, nothing pisses me off more than when "fairness" is used to rationalize cognitive dissonance - relativize rip-offs- and enable scammers! 

So I offered her a couple of examples , I did not want to steer a "crash course" with her but tried to use people skills á la Carnegie:

"OK if you think that's fair, then how do you feel when we go to Greece, and at the local shop a bottle of water costs 25 cents for my Greek friend, but when I want a bottle of water - it costs 1 full euro?"

"Oh , now that's a rip-off!" she replied!

Me "So do you see how the principle is the same? It's also a rip-off for the Polish seminar?"

Her "hmmmmm, mmm, uhhh, NO! Because they are paying the 'realpreis' ".

This translates to "real price" and is an intrinsic part of the "Labor Theory of Value" and was originally coined by Adam Smith but seems to be nowadays nothing but another form of marxism.

This was right up my alley because it is a perfect example of the psychological savvy upper level politicians and communists have when using words to actually convey the opposite of their actual meaning and rip people off.

So I had a smart one here, a college educated girl, this was going to be difficult indeed.

"This 'real price' you are referring to, is just like the word 'fair', they are both bullshit words designed to help you accept a rip-off. Why did you automatically without even thinking blurt out that the example of the Greek bottled water was a rip-off, but the Polish example is not? The math is the same. But you have been conditioned by your schools and colleges to replace your good sense and math with emotions, and this word 'fair' is the enabler whereby in this case it is the absolute opposite of fair".

She replied without answering the question of course "Well take for example Norway, gas is ridiculously expensive there, if we were to travel to Norway and were to pay the 'real price' you would be happy wouldn't you?" (because we would have to pay less, coming from Germany according to her model)

Me "What!? So the Norwegians have to operate at a loss - because I would 'feel good'? ! So according to your model, when we travel to Spain, we have to pay more for gas - you see how that's bullshit? You are taking the natural laws out of the equation and replacing them with emotion. Even worse - you are making a character judgement on the person at the time. You are penalizing or rewarding him based on YOUR misconceptions of him! That's intrinsically wrong."

She brooded over that, I offered more:

"So if me and you go into a Polish supermarket, and we buy some eggs, are they more expensive for us because we come from Germany, or do we pay the Polish price in Poland?"

Blank stare - the obvious fact is we would pay the Polish price just like all other Polish people do in their supermarkets.

I tried another angle - my college girl was smart but NOT closed minded. Yes she has been "educated" in some of the top German universities, which unfortunately today means you are conditioned to neo-communism and to automatically turn off your self-esteem and values in order to ignore facts and sacrifice yourself to the machine known as the modern European "Sozial-Staat". In other words Newspeak has once again showed itself as supreme and fully taken over!

"I don't want to criticize or attack you, but I was forced to look at this problem and look at myself very critically recently. You see I sell products in Etsy. Etsy has become very successful, so successful that they are now opening a branch in Germany. Now I have a product that costs 30$ in the American Etsy. So my American customers are paying 30$ plus postage and handling. Now when the German shop opened - I noticed I wanted to charge more for the German customers! And why was this? I said the same things you just did. I RATIONALIZED my thoughts, but why do I have to rationalize this? Why is it bugging me? The Germans can afford to pay more! I wanted to make the product 35$ in Germany OR charge 30 euros for the 30 dollar product (a net gain). I had to go deep inside myself, and I kept coming to the sentence 'because I can get more out of the Germans' . This finally led me to the conclusion that this is true cognitive dissonance, my core values were fighting with each other. My principles say, that 30 dollar product in America is the same value in Germany i.e. 30 dollars - YOU set the price! And I came to the realization the cause of this is GREED - 'I can get more out of the Germans'.  So the next day I offered my product in the German Etsy for 30 dollars and stayed true to my principles. But it really clarified things for me."

She was listening, she was not "shutting off" to me in typical modern European neo-communist fashion - when you hear the truth - shut your ears.

"So here is another example, let's say this seminar in Poland is not open to west Europeans. Only locals are going. What is the price of the seminar then? Will it still happen or are they going to NOT have it because the westerners are not coming?"

More staring and thinking on her part, I hope I really reached her. When talking or arguing with people, I have learned there is absolutely no point in arguing or trying to force your point. 

YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ANYONE! 

Especially people who are totally on the other side of your spectrum.

But what you can do - like Dale Carnegie said - is get them saying "Yes - Yes" (see his book How to Win Friends and Influence People)

NEVER go head to head, you have to be on the same side.

Now it is not my talent to get people saying yes-yes, but what I like to do is just offer examples and questions that force the people to confront their values or the problem at hand. 

Kind of like a Zen Koan.

We were at a crossroads, my friend was just sitting there, thinking, and I could see she was not closing her mind.

Then I kind of screwed up, instead of being real savvy and using this moment of deep immersion to plant a post hypnotic suggestion, I went off on a tangent:

"This is exactly the kind of stuff that pisses me off, how people use words to destroy the truth. Take for example the progressive tax..."

Boom! She woke up (me idiot!):

"Oh but that's fair too - the rich should pay more!"

Aaargh - we were doing so well!

My response:

"Wait a second - do the math. PERCENT is progressive already that's why it's called "per-cent", "Pro-cent" , or "per-centile" , per- person, per- unit etc.

So 30 percent of a rich person's pay check IS indeed more than 30 percent of my paycheck. Do you see that? That's why it is so important to speak in terms of per-cent sometimes to get at the real underlying value of a judgement. That's why even one tenth of a percent raise in a tax should be fought tooth and nail! The rich already are paying more in taxes. The progressive tax is pure communism - the more you make the more they take. This is purposefully designed to EQUALIZE people, admittedly by the communists. Where as percent is already by it's nature progressive. Once again you are penalizing or rewarding people based on your emotions and not on natural laws or math."

Then her neo-communist "modern European" conditioned response came in not one millisecond later:

"Oh but the money has to come from somewhere! What about the poor people?"

Man, just when we were doing so good, my college educated girl was breaking down to the lowest emotional level, no more reasoning or logic to be seen here.

"Look, I do not want to dismantle your 'Sozial-Staat', but the government has proven it cannot manage money. The answer to failing policies is NOT to keep on raising taxes. Do you agree that taxes cannot be raised indefinitely?"

Her "Well yes"

Me "We already have enough money, raising taxes just covers up a problem and performs a work around, but the poor people are receiving even less! But why do you automatically say 'the money has to come from somewhere' - is this a result of your conditioning?"

"Well I believe in the Social-State"

"OK - like said I don't want to take that away from you- I like the idea of a 'social-NET' but not enforced by the state, as they have proven bad managers of such. The problem we have now is that we are monkeys in a cage. If you put a monkey in a cage where there is a lever which gives him a shot of cocaine every time he pushes the lever - he will hit that lever continuously every 5 seconds until he is DEAD! This experiment has been done over and over again always with the same results. We are that monkey- forever voting for "free" money and handouts and 'social-programs' into oblivion. On the other hand, you got the politicians in the cage - forever hitting the lever and receiving taxes. We can't go on like this. Socialism is cannibalism - a system of death, nothing more. This is actually what happened when Lenin got in power, he tried to implement socialism exactly like in the book down to the smallest detail. The results were catastrophic and in the first week he had to start compromising and go against true socialism. His policies actually lead to the cannibalism which happened during the Russian famine of 1921. And for these reasons Socialism and all of its forms will always fail - they were designed to fail from the beginning by ignoring natural laws, math and good common sense and replacing them with buzzwords and newspeak lies.
And the word FAIR is the great enabler in all of this. Whenever you hear the word 'fair' nowadays - you know someone is trying to rip you off. In the meantime we keep sitting in the cage hitting that lever."

"Oh..." she said.

End of evening.

We must vote them out in November!

TSA part 4

So I'm sure some of you are wondering "what's all this stuff about the TSA lately?".

Well it goes something like this:

Last December I flew to the United States, San Francisco to be exact.

I flew with British Airways this time - departing from Heathrow.

Upon boarding the plane - at check in when they swiped my boarding pass the machine went "boop".

Instead of a high "beep" a low "boop" was emitted.

"Come with me sir!" Said the nice British man.

"Huh? what for?"

"Oh nothing  - you've just been chosen for a random search"

OK I thought - no big deal.

So on a table I threw my carry - on.

He took a quick look and I was off - boarding the plane.

No biggie right?

Well upon arrival in San Francisco guess what?

At customs the machine went "boop" instead of "beep" again.

"Come this way sir!" the TSA agent said as he unhooked the divider so I could get out of line.

"What for sir?"

"Oh nothing really - you've just been chosen for a random check"

"Random my ass!" I said - obviously perturbed by now.

"ARE YOU ALLRIGHT?" came the coded answer.
Yes this is a code, it is a code phrase the TSA and other law enforcement agencies use at the start of a SITUATION. It is part of their DE-ESCALTION TACTICS and training.

Whenever you hear this phrase "ARE YOU ALLRIGHT" be wary! 

The TSA agent or law enforcement officer is going in ATTACK MODE! 

So I practiced my own "de-escalation tactics".

"Yeah of course - just tired" I said.

He lead me to the search area where I was confronted by a totally attractive young blond TSA agent.

Whoooo - de-escalation turns into maximum flirt overdrive!

But not for long.

"Do you mind telling me what this is all about" I said.

"We have the right to search any person coming in the United States...."

"Yeah yeah" I interuppted "But this ISN'T random!"

"ARE YOU ALLRIGHT?!" came the coded trigger words again from her training- blurted at me with beautiful big eyes with lovely long feminine eye-lashes!

"Yes I'm allright, have you ever heard of jet-lag?"

"What?"

"JET-LAG! You know- I'm tired and irate because of the time change."

I continued - as she was obviously freezing up - you throw these government workers a curve-ball and they always freeze up. They are stupider than a box of rocks (obviously, that's why they are working at the TSA) - it's like when you go to McDonald's and order a Big-Mac but WITHOUT cheeze. They just freeze up because there is no button on the cash register labeled "without cheeze".

So I used the slight pause to continue - 

"Look - this isn't random. You guys checked me back in Heathrow, and now you're checking me here , all 'randomly'. And before that you 'randomly' checked me on my last trip too."

This girl was not only beautiful but smart too, she quickly typed my passport in her computer terminal and said "Wow! You weren't LYING - we did check you three times!"

"Of course I wasn't lying!" I replied totally baffled. But realizing that THIS IS HOW IT IS IN AMERICA NOW. THIS IS HOW IT IS IN A POLICE STATE. WE ARE LOWLY "CIVILIANS". They see it as "US AGAINST THEM". 

They are the military or elite, and to question them on their high pedestal I must be lying right? 

How could I, a lowly civilian even come close to questioning their perfection endowed upon them by the state?!

Never mind that I also am EX-MILITARY and am savvy to their ways.

I started relaxing , as I had no intention of being tasered by a hot blond irate TSA agent.

She opened my suitcase and inspected everything.

I used the situation for small talk, however everything I said was misunderstood.

It seems that arriving on Christmas Eve is generally not a good idea - everyone is in a shit mood because they have to work on a holiday.

So this leaves me wondering.

How did I get on their "list"?

Six months previously I traveled to the US out of Amsterdam (KLM usually have the best prices to SFO).

Because the Dutch are so proud of being the most liberal idiots of Europe, they had implemented the new scanners in their airport ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS.

If it's voluntary then there's no problem with refusing right?

Well I had to test my "rights" of course - damned Americans! Always insisting on their rights!

"I don't wanna go through that machine"

"Why not" said the nice Dutch security agent.

"Because it's a violation and it's also VOLUNTARY as your Airport adverts said so themselves"

"Well it's because of your president!" he said!

"I didn't vote for that asshole!"

"Yeah but next year this will be mandatory - because of your president"

"OK you got me there, but I still don't wanna do it".

So they had to pat me down the good old way.

While doing my pat-down I noticed that a good 80% of all scans were faulty and had to be patted down anyway!

I told him that and he fully agreed.

So there we were, two 30 something year old white men agreeing fundamentally.... but still going through the motions.

I'm sure that cheese-eating proud to be liberal son of a bitch put me on the watch list.

I'm travelling again this June.

I feel so much safer now knowing these guys are "on my side"....

Doesn't it feel good sticking up for your rights?

TSA part 3 - Just doing my job män!
