AMERICA

AMERICA THE GREAT

This post was originally intended to be funny. But the more I added to it, the less funny it looked, and the more like a train wreck. Sadly, like the Roman empire, America’s days appear to be numbered. I hope things turn around, but it needs to be pretty fast, and I figure exposing some of the bollocks might help that.

The Good

As pretty much everything on this page is negative apart from the picture of wonder woman in her hot pants, I’ll kick things off on a more positive note with a few of my favourite American achievements:

Awesome movies like “The Matrix” (1999) and “Flying High” (1980)

Life changing books like “Catch 22” (1953) and “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” (1974)

Brilliant albums like “LA Woman” (1971) and “Nevermind” (1991)

Styling cars like the Corvette Stingray (1968) and the  Plymouth Hemi Cuda (1971)

Cutting edge bicycles like the Specialized Stumpjumper (1981) and the Merlin Titanium (1993)

I didn’t really start out intending to make this point, but after listing a few of my favourite things, I then added dates and realised they are all from last century…

The Bad

Many other pages on this site contain opinions, hypotheses, and conclusions. This page is just a collection of over 50 American statistics and facts. I leave the reader to draw their own conclusions.

The main bias inherent on this page, is that these stats were mostly selected because they make America look bad. As a New Zealander I’m aware that NZ has a lot of bad stats too. In fact it was while looking into NZ heath stats that I decided to post this page. NZ has some appalling health stats, and in many cases is the second worst developed nation, invariably behind America. Developed countries with good health stats all tend to be in Europe.

The average U.S. citizen drinks  more than 200 litres of soft drink each year. American males between the ages of 12-29 average 605 litres a year.

66 percent of all Americans are considered to be overweight.

In the UK, an average of about US$3,500 is spent on healthcare per person each year.  In the USA, an average of US$8,500 is spent on healthcare per person each year.

America has the highest rate of incarceration. The US locks up 716 out of every 100,000 people. Norway imprisons 71 out of 100,000, Japan jails 54, and Iceland locks up 47 out of 100,000.

Americans account for 19 percent of global energy consumption (with less than 5% of the world’s population). The U.S. is the leader in the amount of energy use per person.

America is the most expensive place on earth to have a baby. On average, a hospital delivery costs US$9,775 – or US$15,041 for a Cesarean

There are more guns in the U.S. than there are people: The rate of private gun ownership in the U.S. was tabulated at 101.05 firearms per 100 individuals.

Number one in mass shootings – there were 372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870

The U.S. is rated worst in healthcare quality among developed countries, although US care is the most expensive. A coronary bypass in the US  costs 50 percent more than it would in Canada, Australia, and France, and 100% more than in Germany.

One in four children in America grow up without learning how to read. 85% of the juveniles who face trial in the juvenile court system are functionally illiterate, and more than 60% of all American prison inmates are functionally illiterate

There are only three countries that don’t give new mothers any paid time off work. America of course, and the other two are Oman and Papua New Guinea

One in 68 US children has autism – the highest level of any country, and of all time. 

The American government recommends 49 doses of 14 vaccines by the time a child is 6 years of age. And by the age of 18, the CDC recommends that children should have gotten 69 doses of 16 vaccines.

Nearly half of all Americans develop cancer, and over half a million people in America died of cancer in 2012. Cancer is the #1 cause of childhood death in the United States.

By the age of two, if an American child has received all of the recommended vaccines, they have received 2,370 times the “allowable safe limit” for mercury (if there is such a thing as a safe level of poison).

Along with fluoride, American tap water also contains high levels of pesticides  and in the 22 states with military contractors, percholate, the explosive component of rocket fuel.

 

 

ECONOMICS AND BANKING 101

 

The banking system is a scam.

Banking is based on lending money that doesn’t exist to people and businesses in return for interest. This creates enormous debt for governments, businesses and the general population, and bankers therefore gain control. Vital to this has been to allow bankers to lend money they do not have.

It works like this. If you or I have a million dollars, we can lend a million dollars. But if a bank has a million dollars it can lend ten times that and more, and charge interest on it. If even fraction of the people who theoretically have ‘money’ deposited in the banks went to remove it, the banks would close because they don’t have it. Money in the bank is a myth, a confidence trick.

When you go to a bank and ask for a loan, the bank does not hand over any actual money. It merely types the amount of the loan into your account. From that moment you start paying interest to the bank, on what is no more than figures typed on a screen. However, if you fail to pay back that non-existent loan, the bank can come along and quite legally take your wealth that does exist, your home, land, car, possessions, to the estimated value of whatever figure was typed onto that sceen.

More than that, because money is not brought into circulation by governments, but by private banks making loans to customers, the banks control how much money is in circulation. The more loans they choose to make, the more money is in circulation. The only difference between an economic boom (posperity) and an economic depression (poverty) is the amount of money in circulation. And, through this system, the private banks decide how much money will be in circulation.

They can create booms and busts at will. The same with the stock-markets where they are moving trillions of dollars a day around the financial and banking markets, so deciding if they go up or down, soar or crash. Stock-market crashes don‘t just happen, they are made to happen.

Most of the ‘money’ in circulation is not physical money – cash and coins. It is represented as figures passing from one computer account to another electronically via money transfers, credit cards and cheque books. The more money, electronic otherwise, that is in circulation, the more economic activity can take place and therefore the more products are bought and sold, the more income people have and the more jobs that are available. A  re-occuring pattern has been to create a boom by making lots of loans and then pulling the plug.

Economists say that boom and bust is part of a natural ‘economic cycle’. But really it is systematic manipulation in order to steal wealth. Businesses and people borrow more, because they are confident about their economic future. Then, at the most opportune moment, the bankers raise interest rates to suppress the demand for loans, and_. they begin to call in loans already outstanding. They ensure they make far fewer loans than before.

This has the affect of taking money out of circulation, which suppresses demand for products and leaves fewer jobs because there is not enough money in circulation to generate the necessary economic activity. So people and businesses can no longer earn enough to repay their loans and they go bankrupt.

The banks then take over the real wealth of their possessions in return for non-repayment of a debt that was never more than figures typed on a screen. This has been going on over thousands of years, and especially in the last few centuries, and much of the real wealth world has been sucked into the hands of those who control the banking system.

The same applies to countries. Instead of creating their own interest free money, governments borrow it from private banking cartels and pay back both the interest and the capital by taxing the people. Most of the money paid in taxes goes straight to the banks to pay back loans which the governments could create themselves interest-free.

What we call ‘privatisation’ is the selling off of state assets to stave off bankruptcy caused by the bank-created debt. Countries are handing over control of their land and resources to the international bankers because they cannot pay back the vast loans made, on purpose, by the banks to create this very situation.

RANDOM IMAGES #19

 

My next website project is yoga pants world

Yoga pants are a growing internet sensation.

They are increasingly popular now, and there is growing demand for yoga pants websites with galleries of sub-categories. I have the feeling they are the next big growth area online so I want to grab a slice of the action, and monetize while the opportunity is ripe.

Urban Pant Spotting (UPS) is trending. I am aiming to set up a website to cater to that market, My research reveals that the most popular category is “THICK” (fully packed yoga pants), followed by “CAMEL TOES” (aka Labia Reveals). Other popular categories are “LOW RIDERS” (let it all hang out), “MIPS” (Men in Pants), “WALPANTS” (Yoga Pants of Walmart), and “YO-FAILS” (Don’t go there – just don’t!)

OK, that’s enough blathering on, lets get the ball rolling with some hot examples!

THICK

CAMEL TOES

LOW RIDERS

MIPS

WALPANTS

YO-FAILS

I hope you were uplifted and inspired by today’s post

IS CHARLES A SATANIC TAMPON?

 

Ed Sheeran looks like a FTM

 Ed is an unlikely star with his round podgy face, small feminine features, gingery nerdmop haircut, sad beady eyes, dork glasses, small shapeless body, woke tatts, and thin low testosterone facial fluff. He looks like a female to male (FTM) tranny. He also looks like sombody’s pet gimp.

 Supposedly he is massively popular, and his fake Youtube hits certainly are extraordinary. The hits and comments on Youtube videos are legendary for being fake and manipulated, but even by Youtube standards these numbers are special. On one unbelievably lame video he has 3.3 BILLION views. Yes that is 33 as in the Masonic special number. And yes that is BILLIONS as in there are only supposed to be eight billion people on earth in total. (and that figure is rumoured to be grossly inflated, but that is another rabbit hole).

 

NOT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CENSORED

ALL SUBSTANCE NO STYLE 

Two of the old websites that I learned a lot from 25 years ago are still online looking pretty much the same.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - https://educate-yourself.org/

FROM 2000 DOWN TO 20

 I really don't think Google or whoever runs all the AI systems that seem to shape internet traffic these days, likes my old www.frot.co.nz blog very much. 

When it got down to under 100 hits a day a few months ago I thought "Oh well, it can't go much lower" But it looks like it can - maybe it can go sub-10, that would be special!

 

SO THIS IS WHERE TESLA RIPPED OFF THE CYBERTRUCK FROM

Very like the Tesla cyber truck, the 1980 Citroen Karin was a concept car that didn't actually go and was never meant to be sold.

The Tesla cybertruck does appear to have some working versions, but the actual production and sale of them is a rabbit hole well worth checking out.

The 1980 Citroën Karin was a French concept car that looked like a pyramid spaceship on wheels.

When the Citroën Karin was first presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1980, it attracted the astonished gaze of visitors. It was quite unusual to see a futuristic sci-fi pyramid in a motor show, let alone a pyramid on four wheels.

The driver was able to control almost everything without letting go of the steering wheel. Small computers that controlled various functions were also placed in the door panels near the handles so that both the driver and passengers could reach them.

The real gem was on the dashboard, where a mini cathode-ray tube screen was there to display information about the road and the car.
