Ahh, caught in the act.
I confess all and plead guilty to a momentary abheration. Although... perhaps that's an understatement too.

Athonyve what ever else I am I am a realist.
On seeing you leave I knew in part I was a reason for it.
So be it, even if you despise me, I value your posts and the way your mind works, very much.
But the last month has seen me contemplate going too.
A thought has stopped me, so far.
Every opinion has value, some far less than others, and for some their contribution is nothing more, or less than the Australian leg pull.
It works far less in print, actually back fires often, I by choice, think the truly offensive few, [all ALP voters betray our county] come from those type not as most would think .
It is a fact, I have found no forum as good, and many far worse.
In respect of my views, sometime harsh even rude about my lifes loves ALP/UNIONS it remains my view both are too important to except second best from.
You are right about Global Warming, it will be worth waiting to see how some switch as Liberal policy will be forced to,in the near future.
SOG,AJ has it right? bloke it is folk who think like arjay that hide every real conspiracy.

Hi Belly,
Quite the contrary.
You don't insult people who hold a different opinion to yours and you explain the reasoning behind your positions on various issues.
Moreover, you are usually looking to find a way towards something better rather than others here who simply make extreme assertions that they cannot possibly support and then call those who disagree with them stupid.
As for your passionate support of the union movement, I have sat in enough boardrooms and strategy meetings to know that without the power of collective bargaining, within a single generation we would be back where we were at the end of the Nineteenth Century.
I once attended a corporate strategy meeting at my employer's head office in Chicago where a financial analyst presented calculations showing that annually the cost of paying out for injuries would be less than the cost of a particular non-mandatory injury prevention program I was keen to implement, so we should not proceed.
The board agreed. There was no discussion about the injured employees; it was purely a cost analysis issue.
One of the reasons why I quit the corporate world.
So you'll get no argument from me as to the need for strong collective bargaining capability.

Harking back to the reality we are all facing this year.Max Keiser says watch the collapse of the US Bond Market.This will herald hyper-inflation and bring on the collapse of the derivative market.

I'm a realist and like many others realise that our system has become totally corrupt and dysfunctional.

There is a real possibilty of war with China/Russia and civil war within the US as Obama tries to dis-arm the US citizens who continue to suffer theft via the counterfeiting of their currency by the US Federal Reserve.

We can reduce the pain here by puting pressure on our pollies to get the RBA to create at least our inflationary money of $36 billion pa.It will not affect our private banks since they borrow this money from OS Banks that create it with the click of computer mouse.In fact it will make our banks more profitable since our inflationary money will stay here.

So contact you local member and get our RBA off it big fat impotent backside.

Arjay, I'm a little surprised to hear you describe yourself as a realist.

A realist is a person who's understanding of the world is real.

So, my question to you is this. What have you predicted that has actually come to pass?

In other words, do you have data to support that assertion?

Sorry arjay, I to think you over generous in that description.
You at times, get close to a rare but true conspiracy, but your reputation see,s others not want to look.
I know the history of modern banking is in need of a very good look.
And if anyone does not think conspiracy's exist try this.
Enterprise bargaining, big international building products/timber/cement/every thing firm, just told the world yesterday, it is about to dump 700 workers.
Now in cutting workers wages to the bone, a person from their side of the room, told us the negotiators would be paid very big bonuses for doing just that.
Mate you are no realist, but if others truly research world banking, how we went from no interest loans in the middle ages to banks lending funds they never had?
stranger than fiction.
