Macnamara Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Italian Conservatives Call For Greater Border Security After Footage Of Migrant Violence Goes Viral Wednesday, Jul 27, 2022 - 07:00 AM By Thomas Brooke of Remix News. Disturbing footage of a man being subjected to a vicious attack in a public square in the Italian city of Milan has prompted calls by conservative politicians for stricter border security in the country. The now viral footage shows a man being drop-kicked in the face in Piazza Duca D’Aosta by a man described by the Italian Il Giornale newspaper as a “homeless Tunisian” national, before the migrant smashes a bottle on his victim who lies on the floor in pain. The assailant proceeds to brutally kick his victim in the head, as screams can be heard from onlookers, before nonchalantly walking away from the scene. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/italian-conservatives-call-greater-border-security-after-footage-migrant-violence-goes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Talk Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 With Germany meeting England in the final of the women's Euro 2022 it's going to be interesting how the BBC approach it seeing as they showed their prejudiced hand way too early a few days ago by criticising the lack of diversity in the England team. Well guess what, England have gone on to reach the final along with Germany, whose first 11 is also all white (not even a Turk). Will the beeb now retract their comments and accept that these teams were picked to win the tournament and not some virtue-signalling nonsense? Unlikely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But govt in the west seems ideologically opposed to doing this (can you get a mortgage or loan from the National Savings Bank?), maybe it would undermine the whole system, especially if they're in cahoots. 3 hours ago, Macnamara said: councils ARE involved in dodgy investments.

Sorry to hear that Nemuri, it must have been very rough. Sometimes I'm grateful I didn't hack it in private industry and ended up in the public sector. Mind you, we've had below inflation pay rises since the credit crunch, so I'm wondering how much longer can this economic system keep up the illusion that things are gonna get better.

Nemuri Kyoshiro Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Selling golf balls doesn't quite do it (see above). Now Trump wants to have my name cemented in history. Here's his latest email scam and these are not parody emails. Friend, When I was in the White House, America had a President who put our Nation FIRST every single day. For the first time in a long time, power was taken from Washington and given BACK to the American People. Unfortunately, Joe Biden and the rest of the Washington SWAMP are working overtime to undo everything my administration accomplished. Mark my words, America will be put FIRST again, but only with the help of my most loyal supporters. You’ve always been a trusted ally, Friend, which is why I want to offer you something very exclusive. This is the year we TAKE AMERICA BACK from the Left, so I’ve decided to dedicate a wall at my office for a select group of donors who choose to step up at this critical time. I want to give you PRIORITY ACCESS to get your name permanently engraved on the Official 2022 Trump Donor Wall. Space is extremely limited. This could be your only chance.

Observations Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 19 hours ago, Nemuri Kyoshiro said: Another one from the crazy files. Apparently, Kia cars can be started with a USB cable (who knew?). As part of a tik-tok challenge, An 11 year old kid in Washing DC did just that and ran over a 7-year-old. https://www.fox5dc.com/news/7-year-old-boy-in-serious-condition-after-hit-and-run-crash-in-dc?taid=62e00ebcfcad21000137f73 I mostly look at things with more than a touch of cynicism, and yet I'm open to balance, knowing it could go either way. Ever since Prince Phillip's little car crash, especially, when I see Kia in an article I just wonder if it's a sneaky promotion? My initial observations were to look at this as an advert for Kia, USB, tik-tok and crime, so I clicked on the link and saw of course the numbers 7 and 11, even the time adds up to 11. The parking lot is called the ARC, the child is a victim, and "They don’t even feel safe in their own environment," (Don't let your children out into the playground!!) And cut I don't know, but maybe it's just a bit more fun when you see these things time and again to just be curious about the fear manipulations in the media, shake your head and move on to the next bit of nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets say I agree to lend you £100, on the proviso that you pay me back £110. I would pull out £100 from my wallet, and give that to you. If you then end up paying me back £110, I'm £10 better off, that's my profit (gain). If you did nothing with that £100, you still only have £100, therefore you cannot pay back what was agreed (£110). You could spend that £100, and then have no way of paying me back, well I lose £100, plus the £10 I 'expected' to gain. The difference with banks is that when they 'loan' you money, they are not giving you money that they already have, they are 'creating' money in the form of credit (debt), which you are expected to pay back in full, plus the 'interest' that is accrued, the interest being the 'profit/gain' the bank makes from the transaction. (Maybe this is the reason why it is called 'interest'... it is the bank's 'vested interest' after all) If you default on this debt, technically the bank is only losing out on the potential 'interest' it would have gained on repayment of the loan. It never physically had the money to 'lend' you in the first place. Really, its all hypothetical and theoretical. If you find yourself saddled with debt and struggling to make repayments, there are ways to break the cycle, using methods like insolvency voluntary arrangements (IVAs), whereby your debt can be 'frozen', therefore no more interest gets accrued, and you can agree to pay back a small percentage of your debt to your creditors over a period of time, with the rest being 'written off'. The whole global economy is built on debt, but people haven't worked out or asked the question of who exactly all this money is 'owed' to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many russian businessmen got hit by that. I always saw cyprus as a practice run for the rest of the world but they haven't played that card yet of course charging interest on loans was banned in christendom as 'usury'. Jews did not have the same prohibitions and became lenders to the european monarchs which is why the rothschilds are often referred to as 'court jews'. They were then housed in their own sections of cities known as 'ghettos' so that they could provide those financial services to the crown The knights templar were crypto-jews (sabbateans) and they too found ways to charge people interest 12 minutes ago, Grumpy Owl said: If you find yourself saddled with debt and struggling to make repayments, there are ways to break the cycle, using methods like insolvency voluntary arrangements (IVAs), whereby your debt can be 'frozen', therefore no more interest gets accrued, and you can agree to pay back a small percentage of your debt to your creditors over a period of time, with the rest being 'written off'. lets hope it doesn't come to that!
