If I appear rude I am sorry.
In my defense I offer only Ajay's posts,in this thread alone.
Rational Debate?
It is my view it is not possible here.
As both sides need to be rational.
Clearly one side is quite far from it.

Pericles,my comment about Singh was not influenced by the article referenced.This is a straw man argument.You distract readers by your nit picking innuendos.I stand by my assertions of USA use of Uranium enriched weapons in Fallugia and probably Libya.

Time and time again you have denied the science here http://www.ae911truth.org/ and the real patriots here http://patriotsquestion911.com/ You have no answers,only just deny the science.You have lied in the past protesting that the US Federal Reserve was owned by the US Govt when it fact it is the likes of the Rothschilds,JP Morgan,Rockefeller and Goldman Sachs etc.

You ignore the printing of money by these criminals that are destroying our economies just like the Great Depression.You ignore the criminal invasion of Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya,Somalia,Yeman,Pakistan etc.

You Pericles have all the attributes of being a Zionist symapthiser.Your old world order under the guise of "The New World Order" has come to an end.The people are rising up all around the planet.Many are not quite sure what is wrong,but they know that good ,honest hard working people are being shafted by the few who steal by counterfeiting our currencies.

You cannot be so stupid,if so,you are part of the problem.

Then why mention it at all, Arjay?

>>Pericles,my comment about Singh was not influenced by the article referenced<<

Especially as i) Mr Singh is not India's Head of State and ii) there is no evidence of anyone's face being slapped. Do you just invent these things on the spur of the moment?

You don't need to answer that, of course.

Now we have that out of the way, let's look at the rest.

>>So India is firming up trade and security relations with China and cleverly keeps friendly hand extended to the West<<

It's called international relations, Arjay. You have posted the equivalent of "dog bites man" - it is not necessary that in order to be someone's friend, you have to become someone else's enemy. It would be news if the sentence had read "India is firming up trade and security relations with China and cutting all ties with the West", but as it stands it is about as controversial as a bus timetable.

>>Russia and China have recently signed a gas deal worth $ trillion and have forged closer alliances.<<

How is this more dramatic than "Australia and China have recently signed gas and mineral deals worth $ trillions and have forged closer alliances."?

Oh. I forgot. It's all a global conspiracy to initiate WWIII.

>>We are seeing a similar climate that led up to WW2. So what we are now seeing is an aligning of powers readying themselves for potential conflict.<<

Ok. If we are to buy that, we need the equivalent of a Hitler (plus a Mussolini and perhaps a Stalin), the equivalent of Czechoslovakia, Poland and Austria, and a fired-up population that feels deeply wronged by a treaty signed late last century, and desperately wants to recover lost territory, in order to feel relevant.

Where are they?

You're so far out of touch with reality, Arjay, even your analogies fall flat on their face.

Money has been privatised by stealth

Here's how it works. When you ask the bank for the money to buy a one-bedroom box in London, the money that appears in your account isn't borrowed from some prudent grandmother's life savings.

In fact, the bank simply types those numbers into your account, creating brand new money that you can now spend. As other banks do exactly the same, the amount of money in the economy grows and grows.

Every new mortgage creates new money, which pushes up house prices just a little more and forces the next buyer to borrow even more from the banks.

Through this process of creating money, banks have been able to inflate the money supply at a rate of 11.5% a year, pushing up the prices of houses and pricing out an entire generation.

Let me guess. You chose not to read any of the the 511 comments that followed the "article", didn't you.

If you had, you would be a far more knowledgeable person. Many of them are along the lines of this one:

"Money as debt like this article is based upon just enough truth to look authentic but when closer scrutiny is taken, the direction it goes and the conclusions it comes to are miles from reality"

Don't get suckered in. The idea that "only government should issue new money" is asking for trouble. Do you really trust them that much? Also, you would need to define "new money". What is "new" about it? Who allows it to be created, and on what basis? Then you need to find a way to inject it into the economy without (presumably?) creating a debt.

The central fallacy of all this (if you get that far through the comments) is illustrated by the story of the town that "creates" $270 from $100, and buys a racehorse. The telling observation by one poster goes as follows:

"No money has been permanently created in your example. Indeed it is quite a nice example of how lending and deposits tally"

As I have been trying to explain to you, for quite a while now.

Do some research, one under god, outside your favourite conspiracy theory sites and with an open mind.

Then... (you knew this was coming)... follow the money.

UOG this pseudonym Pericles does not deserve a reply.This Darwinian anker, is all about power for the few.He only bothers to utter BS, to be both a distraction and division in logical debate.More of his mass debate,rather than real intellectual analysis.

The elites work via deception and the old notions of divide and conquer.Left and right philosphies are the opium used to confuse the masses.We argue,while the banksters and the ilk of Pericles shaft us.
