Turin 2013

What can be said about such a beautiful and diverse place? Only that I miss it so much that every moment away from it is slowly destroying my soul. When I was there I was surrounded by art and culture and not to mention NATURE! Simple thing like street lamps are obviously made with care and have an athestic beauty that you don't get here because it is not this country's priority to make something that EVERYONE might enjoy! 


Torino has an abundance of palaces, but unlike here where they are open only to the privledged few everyone, old and younge alike were enjoying these jewels that were now owned by the city and not private individuals- that might change now due to the massive amount of fraud committed by the banksters! The fact that I am a huge Juventus supporter is also why I had to visit here, and if I left without paying pilgrimige to the stadium... well that would be blasphemy! The stadium was magnificent, not too big just big enough and the design of it was sheer class. The museum was a gem that no true fan/supporter should miss. As this was my 2nd visit to my spiritual home, I did notice one disturbing fact. Like I said before; I adore nature and on the way there I had noticed how there was an ever decreasing amount of snow on the Alps. Global warming perhaps? Well even the idiots over here have to agree that somthing is terrible wrong here, or are you prepared for an increasing amount of storms. Ignore the warning signs at your peril!

The 51st state?

Artificial world The title of this piece is not too far off from reality, just look around you people value things like “Farmville” more than farming. One will perhaps keep you entertained for a few hours but the other will feed you so that you won’t die! And this whole hoopla about “social media”, which is not socializing for one thing you’re not talking to people you are typing on your computer, it could not be more anti social if it tried, for one thing it removes the need to see people, which if I’m not mistaken.. is socializing! It’s closer to snooping on each other than anything else, and the CEO Mark poopyhead is making sure that it is becoming less and less of a private medium between friends and making sure that any “peodo” can find you.

 Why is it that people place so much value on the virtual more than the reality? It’s not as though it stops at this, in education there is more emphasis on computing and finance than there is on things like engineering and actually learning skills. Kids are being brainwashed into believing that being in finance or becoming the CEO of a business is a thing to aspire to, maybe someone should tell them how they actually accumulated all that wealth! They did it by screwing people over and exploiting every opportunity to their benefit, if this is the kind of life you want where everyone is out for themselves and having just an ounce of compassion is considered a weakness, then maybe you should move to the States where ass holes like that are worshipped!

The scary thing is, this country is becoming increasingly similar to the States. Already the entertainment sector has become more concerned with the trivial and the content has been boiled down to its simplest form, and not just the entertainment but the news also. The news is meant to inform you and educate you about the goings on around the world, it is not a source of entertainment and shouldn’t be more concerned with having the latest gadget and other gimmicks! The education system is also becoming more like the US, funding is being cut and fees for higher education are shooting though the roof, it’s as though they don’t want the population to have access to education..ummm. and just like the States there is more of an emphasis on frivolous things like Prom, Valentine’s day, Christmas parties and sports and less on thing that really matter like: the sciences, mathematics, philosophy and history. The latest news to come out of education circle is that the children are “less than average”- and that’s putting it lightly! Is it such a shock when the policy makers are looking to the US for inspiration?!

 This government is not satisfied with making sure that we don’t think but they have also made sure that many of us won’t be able to move, with a fast food place on every corner and at least 3 on the high street! And does anyone even stop they consider why these fast food chains just happen to be in low income area?! It is so they can exploit your situation for profit, because the “food” they serve is not exactly of any nutritional benefit, most of it probably isn’t meant to be consumed by humans! And only having access to that junk is not exactly healthy and can only be a burden on the NHS, which they are also cutting funding to and it wouldn’t even surprise me if we have to start paying for it! then the transformation will be complete, we’ll become a nation of celebrity obsessed, obese, poverty stricken idiots- we’re almost there!! So, instead of investing in things that matter like health and education, the give more money to the Banksters so that they can continue committing fraud, but of course when the banks do it it’s not called fraud its legal. Someone has to have the courage to tell the people in charge that you can’t run a country like a business; you’re dealing with people’s lives. A mark of a truly developed society should be about the treatment of the people not the corporations.

Indentured servitude..

Insanity
When one thinks of this word the image of a person who is not in their right mind pops into their heads, one would assume. I believe this entire country has fallen prey to insanity, to roughly put into words; insanity is when someone does the same thing over and over again expecting a different and better outcome.

The whole “ help to buy” scheme pops into my mind. Has everyone just conveniently forgotten that the financial crisis came about in part because of the housing bubble and the subsequent “popping” of that bubble? And how do you think that happened?? Because people were pushed into taking out a mortgage on a house, knowing full well they will not be able to pay it back! All this scheme is doing is creating an equal if not larger bubble that will inevitably lead to a greater crash.
The Prime Minister may just be a giant turd in a suit, but he does understand the mindset of the people, and who wouldn’t they are such simple creatures after all. 

This country is so committed to getting into the housing market… but why?? The house will never be enjoyed by you because you will be working your entire lives and that of future generation trying to pay it off, so why not just rent?
The answer is simple, the policies of this country are only in favor of people who own property and they brainwash you from a young age to want to own a house. There also is no incentive or protection for those who want to rent instead of buying a property and having to live out the rest of their lives in debt to the banksters! Just an example if your land lord wants to kick you out, they can do so whenever they please and if they want to be subtle about kicking you out all they have to do is raise the rent so high that you’ll have to leave!
Why in the world would a government want its people to live in such hardship? It’s rather simple actually, they care more about the banks and lining their pocket with all that money than you! Now what does that remind me of, the fact that the policies are more directed to profit than the welfare of the people?... oh yeah FASCISM!

The only person the scheme is likely to help is the PM himself, because people have the collective memory of a goldfish all they will remember is that his initiative helped them get a house not knowing that it doesn’t really belong to you! This is bribery pure and simple another scheme to keep him in power and fracking the people for another 5 years.  all this has done has inflated the prices so high to make sure they will never go down to a reasonable price!!

Like I said before, all he is really helping is the emerging Aristocrats- the BANKSTERS!
