Oh, just one other thing I’ve been meaning to say. Why is it 25 they do be playing in your establishment and not 31 as elsewhere in “South Kerry”?!

Let the housing bubble collapse, taking the short term pain rather than longer term greater overall pain.

Have competing currencies to the Euro e.g. an Punt Nua and precious metals.

Deport Bono and tell him not to come back.

Sell bah bah Bertie to the circus, because he’s a red nosed clown that should be laughed at.

I recently spoke with a friend of mine who lives in Kentish Town. He said to me that the “young irish faces are starting to appear in the local pubs”. Seeing these new Irish faces made him happy and sad, as it reminded him of all the young people who left home in the 80′s, as he himself had to.

Below are some of the major suggestions sofar to go forward:.

1. Become majority lender in an economy of people with assets you want.
2. Encourage indebtedness by loaning generously while securing on assets of interest.
3. Loosen lending standards until the assets you seek to capture are attached.
( this makes the economy debt dependent)
4. Once debts are significant for the bulk of the population, sharply tighten lending standards.
5. Backstop losses with public guarantees if possible. This is gravy if one can get it.
6. Permit default ‘without risk’ on the assets you wish to sieze to maximize wealth transfer.
( stall foreclosure, stay repossession orders etc)
7. Stall the economy to maximize default positions and deplete private liquidity.
8. Successively ratchet the economy downhill, while bettering secured positions.
9. In a series of large actions, sieze all security for default. Target the assets of greatest interest first.
(This deals a heavy economic blow and can help cause the ratcheting required for step 8.)
10. Transfer asset ownership, but retain prior owners as renters where possible.
(This reduces public lashback and helps maintain the asset for resale)
11. Once the bulk of assets of transferred, write them down to leverage the public financial backstop.
12. Buy up as many remaining assets on the cheap as possible. Hide this action.
13. Hyperinflate to destroy the external claims on wealth.
(This destroys treasuries, gov’t bonds, currency. Ensures free title on new assets. May cause war.)
14. Stabilize the currency or devise a new one, resume lending at a reasonable pace. Sell the assets back, secured of course, at your chosen price in new currency.

We need to apologize. Presumably not to Osama bin Laden.

meitheal: trust and goodwill need to be established as the bottom line before we can rise again.

The human side of all of this is always been shoved to the side by this banking tyranny, we have to put humans back at the center.
