Politicians Seizing Private Bank Accounts - Why The Suprise?

The announcement that the politicians who were elected to represent the people of Cyprus were planning to raid their private bank accounts in order to pay for their own economic incompetence raises several important issues.

Firstly, the politicians of Cyprus did what politicians do the world over, they willfully and shamelessly lied to the people during the last general election campaign.

When the politicians were campaigning for votes, they knew then that they were spending their country into bankruptcy, it didn't creep up on them suddenly out of the blue or take them by surprise. Their annual budget statements revealed that spending was exceeding revenue, which in turn was racking up unsustainable debt that would have to be paid off sooner rather than later.

They knew back then that bankruptcy was staring them in the face but no politician mentioned in their campaign literature that raiding their constituents private bank accounts was being considered. They knew full well during the campaign that this thievery was an option but they didn't have the integrity to inform the electorate.

Secondly, the political scene in Cyprus is dominated by the left, including the communist Progressive Party of Working People, which is the second biggest party on the island. Also included in this gang of tax and spend redistributers are the Democratic Party, the Movement for Social Democracy and the Greens who name themselves the Ecological and Environmental Movement. Their combined share of the vote makes them the biggest political bloc.

Thirdly, this disrespect for other peoples private property is nothing new when it comes to left wing politicians. These people are ideologically driven and their ideology is not a secret if one cares to look.

"the proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoisie and to centralize all instruments of production to the state" - The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

This disrespect for other peoples private property is not confined to the Cypriot political class, politicians the world over are also guilty.

The Blair/Brown/Balls regime in Great Britain treated the peoples money and assets as their own. They introduced over 100 new taxes, they sold half of the countries gold reserves, they looted pension funds and borrowed  to the extent that the British people will be locked into a high tax regime for generations.

The Obama administration in the USA is following the same policy by taxing, borrowing and spending their peoples money with abandon, while at the same time they are trying to convince the people that there is no debt problem.

Then we have France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland, all socialist governments who have knowingly spent their countries into bankruptcy and who are now looking for alternative sources of revenue.

Fourthly, and the most important issue of all, is that Cyprus and its people have been nominated as the trial area for breaking the taboo of governments seizing private bank accounts.

This idea of using a selected area to trial a policy is nothing new. It allows the political class to implement a policy which they know will be unpopular. They then monitor the reaction and use this information to prepare their spin machine for the wider implementation.

Prime Minister Thatcher used this method for introduction of the hated poll tax in Great Britain. It was introduced in Scotland first as a trial. The Scottish people were also the trial area for various alcohol initiatives, including pub opening times and the minimum price nonsense recently abandoned by 'Call Me Dave' Cameron.

The idea behind the Cypriot bank account seizure is two fold. It introduces the idea to the global public that politicians can and will dip into private bank accounts when the 'need' arises. After establishing this principle, they will then proceed to manufacture a 'need' in the form of some kind of crisis.

It also satisfies their ideological belief that all property should be communally owned and redistributed in the interests of equality and fairness. Property in this context includes financial assets also.

The Cypriot politicians voted down the measure as we all knew they would but the wider goal has been achieved. The idea of governments seizing private money to stave off a crisis has been introduced into the public consciousness and will be revisited at a later, more opportune moment.

The politicians of Cyprus, and any other bankrupt country, who knowingly spent their country into bankruptcy should be held accountable and be prosecuted for their criminal irresponsibility. In addition to a long prison sentence, their private assets should be seized and used toward paying off the debt they created.

Gerard Depardieu Jumps Ship To Russia - Socialists Just Don't Get It!

..in the most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable:

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

The Communist Manifesto, Chapter 2 - Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (1967 edition)

Despite of all the evidence proving that high rates of tax yield less revenue for the Treasury, one has to wonder if 'progressives' are constantly in denial or just plain mentally ill.

They seem to have the ability to ignore all the evidence and carry on with the belief that taxing an ever shrinking number of 'rich' people will finance an ever growing number of welfare recipients.

The evidence they ignore goes back as far as Cicero in 55 BC through to Art Laffer today, its almost as if Karl Marx has removed these peoples ability to understand simple economic theory or even to understand basic arithmetic.

"those who ignore history are destined to repeat it" is a well known phrase but it has obviously not been read by the current crop of brain dead, ideologically driven conmen that infest the worlds Legislative bodies.

I can remember the disastrous Trade Union dominated Labour government in 1970's Great Britain.

As is normal with socialist governments the world over, the British economy had collapsed into bankruptcy as a result of the government spending in excess of its revenue.

'Sunny Jim' Callaghan and his Chancellor of the Exchequer Denis Healy came up with the only possible solution that a socialist is capable of dreaming up.

It was so simple its a wonder that these two geniuses didn't think of it earlier and it was so effective that the aforementioned brain dead conmen still use it to this day to run their respective economies:

a) borrow more money

b) increase taxes on the 'rich'

Those of my generation who remember those days all know how it all ended and they would need to have a heart of stone not to laugh.

Denis Healy promised to 'squeeze the rich until the pips squeak'. (He claims he was misquoted but his actions proved the sentiment was there.)

He raised the top rate of income tax to a staggering 83% triggering an exodus of Great Britain's most talented people and artists, which was affectionately known at the time as 'the brain drain'.

Apart from British industries finest innovators and business entrepreneurs, high profile actors and rock stars were also jumping ship. Some headed for continental Europe but by far the majority headed to the land of individual liberty, free enterprise and low taxes, the United States of America.

The most notable exiles included The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Michael Cain, Cat Stevens, Noel Coward, Tom Jones, David Bowie and surprisingly, The Two Ronnies comedy duo.

Tax revenue plummeted and Denis Healy had to take his begging bowl to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a loan.

Most people associate IMF loans with the backward economies of Africa, and South America but the Labour government of Callaghan and Healy managed to bring third world economic collapse to the once global superpower of Great Britain.

The last Labour government of Blair and Brown ignored history and repeated the Callaghan/Healy mistakes in a spectacular fashion. They opened the floodgates of spending and instituted over a hundred new taxes, including raising the top rate to 50% but were still borrowing in excess of 120 billion per year with the inevitable catastrophic results.

In addition to Great Britain, the socialist imbeciles running Greece, Italy, Ireland, Spain and Portugal all ignored history and followed the same perverted ideology which resulted in economic collapse and a typically socialist equal sharing of poverty and misery for their respective peoples.

One would think that with the lessons of history and all the misery and economic mayhem surrounding him the newly elected President of France, Komrade Hollande, would steer a very different course.

Alas no, he is an unrepentant socialist and he ran for election on a socialist ticket so his first act as President was to lower the retirement age and pay for it by increasing taxes including a top rate of 75% for the 'rich'.

If he thought there wouldn't be consequences the guy must be delusional or have a brain full of merde.

The most high profile Frenchman to jump ship was film mogul and business entrepreneur Gerard Depardieu who headed across the border to Belgium but in a humiliating development for Komrade Hollande, Gerard Depardieu has accepted citizenship from Russia which has a flat federal income tax rate of 13%.

What is not generally known is that Hollande's 75% tax rate has resulted in an exodus of French talent to London which is now home to the biggest French community outside of Paris. The top income tax rate in London is a mere, piffling 45%.

In Great Britain the cynical hypocrites in the Labour Party raised the top rate to 50% only months before they left office and subsequently the number of people declaring an income of 1,000,000 plus dropped from 16,000 to 6,000 costing the Treasury valuable revenue.

The same Labour hypocrites are squealing like stuck pigs because the current government has lowered the top rate from 50% to 45% which has resulted in an increase in revenue for the Treasury.

If any reader knows what planet these socialist morons are living on, feel free to let me know.

To bring this sorry tale up to date, it appears that the current Prime Minister of Great Britain, David ' Call Me Dave' Cameron has made such a mess of governing that he is in danger of losing power to the same gang of Labour Party socialists that wrecked the British economy in the first place.

To make matters infinitely worse for the global economy the newly re-elected President of the United States is also ignoring history and the recent high profile defection of Gerard Depardieu, by taking the first steps along the same road to socialism that is littered with the remains of the once prosperous European countries.

To the British and other impoverished Europeans, the Presidents' rhetoric is all too familiar, we've heard it all before.

"the broadest shoulders must bear the biggest burden"

or there's that old favourite


"the rich must pay their fair share".

or

" we are going to ask those who make more than $250,000 to pay a little more"

and then there is

"no one making less than $250,000 will see their taxes go up" (everyone got a tax rise on January 1st due to an increase in payroll tax of 2%)

and my particular favourite in reference to the balanced approach to cutting the deficit

 "you cannot cut your way to prosperity"

It was the British socialist Prime Minister 'Sunny Jim' Callaghan who said, when he was trying to reign in his more loony members that "you cannot spend your way out of debt".

So there we have it, the socialist President of the USA claims that "you cannot cut your way to prosperity" and a socialist Prime Minister of Great Britain claiming "you cannot spend your way out of debt".

Either way the result will be the same, the people will get screwed.

By electing a socialist to the White House the people of the United States are blissfully unaware what they have done.

They'll soon learn as their taxes start to rise year after year to pay for the expansion of welfare entitlements together with the amnesty for 12 million illegal immigrants and above all to pay for the interest on their astronomical and ever expanding debt.

PM Cameron Trashes Mrs Thatcher By Claiming Her Values Are Toxic

The Prime Minister of Great Britain,  David  'Call Me Dave'  Cameron is such a phony it's difficult for enlightened people to take him seriously.

For a man who has had the advantage of an elite education David Cameron doesn't seem to be displaying an iota of common sense.

He appears to be so clueless as to what the attitudes and more importantly, the hopes and aspirations of the British people are, that he comes across as arrogant and out of touch every time he makes a speech.

He always adopts the opposite stance on sensitive issues from the stance that his core party members, and the majority of the British people, would adopt and now he goes further by giving priority to issues that are only important to the minority Metropolitan 'right on progressive' elite.

David Cameron has followed the well worn path of the modern career politician. He had and elite education followed by the inevitable degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) then into a manufactured position within his political party.

Following the standard procedure for career politicians, Cameron spent a few token years in Public Relations with a minor television company in order to claim that he has experience outside party politics.

The truth is that Cameron has spent his whole life in a remote, closed circle of powerful like minded people who have no experience in the real world that the rest of us live in.

This circle of powerful people consider themselves to be 'progressive' that are above traditional party politics. They claim to be blue sky thinkers, movers and shakers and in a show of contempt for the people, opinion formers.  They also have an agenda they are determined to impose.

For 13 years this 'progressive' elite used the 'New' Labour Party to impose their 'progressive' agenda on the British people, but because this agenda was imposed without the British peoples consent there was always a danger that some time in the future another Margaret Thatcher could come along and put the whole project into reverse.

David Cameron is one of this remote elite and after becoming the leader of the Conservative Party he set about purging the party of its traditional values and policies and replacing them with 'progressive' policies, or as he termed it detoxifying the party.

The Conservative Party was the party of traditional British values and culture such as economic responsibility, patriotism, individual liberty, free enterprise, law and order, fair play, good manners, cricket on the village green, warm beer, church bells, old maids cycling to Evensong etc.

These were, and still are, the values and culture of Margaret Thatcher and the majority of the British people which David Cameron believes are toxic and an obstacle to his re-election.

Cameron believes that the cesspit of a country that was created by Labour's fundamental transformation is superior to the one it replaced and that it is here to stay whether the British people like it or not. He buys into the modern 'progressive' agenda and is determined that the British people will accept it.

The truth is, as the latest polls indicate, that the support for David Cameron's modern, detoxified party has been decamping in droves to the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) who are now the guardians of the traditional British values and culture that were purged from the Conservative Party by David Cameron and his so called modernisers.

If an election were held in the near future David Cameron would suffer a humiliating defeat and the disastrous Labour Party would resume power to finish the destruction that they started and in the process consign the Conservative Party to history.

To remind readers, the Labour Party sold itself as the traditional party of the working man and who's aim was the eradication of  poverty and injustice by the redistribution of wealth and the provision of welfare entitlements from the cradle to the grave.

The truth is the Labour Party derives its core philosophy from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. This can be confirmed by simply reading it and by paying particular attention to A.J.P Taylor's Introduction.( My copy is the 1967 edition).

The Labour Party despises the traditional Great Britain and is dedicated to its destruction and the building in its place of a state mandated, multi-cultural, egalitarian society that is demanded by their perverted ideology.

The Liberal Democrats are an amalgam of the old Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party who broke away from the old Labour party in the 1970's over policy disagreements. They sell themselves as libertarian and champions of minor causes.

Although they come across as harmless, eccentric, sandal wearing, vegetarian hippies, they truly are a very nasty party with policies further to the left than Labour. They despise private wealth and believe that they have the right to confiscate it for redistribution as they see fit.

The Liberal Democrats are European Union federal superstate fanatics who are neither Liberal nor Democratic.

All three party leaders describe themselves as 'progressive' and they all adhere to the same 'progressive' policies:

All three leaders agree that government can spend peoples money better than the people can spend it themselves.

They all put raising revenue via high and progressive taxation above cutting government spending.

None of the leaders have a plan to cut the nations crippling debt.

They all believe in state mandated equality and fairness.

They all use the discredited 'combating climate change' scam as an excuse to artificially raise energy prices forcing more people to be dependent on the government.

They are all Cultural Relativists who believe in equality of nations, thus they all believe in giving taxpayers money to foreign governments regardless of how its spent.

This is also good their international creditability which will come in useful for future employment when they get kicked out of office.

They all support a federal European Superstate. They all promise a referendum on the issue but never hold one.

They all obey mandates and treaties from the continually dysfunctional and discredited United Nations.

They all support the destruction of the traditional family and they all support homosexual marriage.

They all believe in a multi-cultural society and refuse to end open border mass immigration.

They all endorse zealously policed political correctness as means to control language and thought.

They all refuse to stop the downgrading of our Christian heritage while simultaneously upgrading Islam.

They all believe that the hideously biased BBC is impartial and should continue to be funded by the public under threat of imprisonment.

The all believe that the monstrously inefficient socialist monolith know as the National Health Service (NHS) is the nations most cherished institution and that it is the envy of the world.

They all disapprove of the traditional British pub culture and support a minimum price for booze as a social engineering exercise.

They all endorse voter fraud by refusing to stop electoral malpractice such as bogus voter registration and multiple postal voting by Imams and tribal elders.

They all believe in the dumbed down socialist comprehensive education system.

The fact is that all three party leaders are 'progressives' and they all endorse the fundamental transformation of Great Britain from what it was a decade ago to the shambles that it is today.

Of all the insults David Cameron has heaped upon the British people nothing is worse than claiming that their traditional values and culture are toxic.

David Cameron is a spineless intellectual midget who isn't fit to polish the Iron Lady's handbag.
