A Tactical New Year’s Resolution

Your money, your choice.
A Tactical New Year’s Resolution

Imagine the doors of the big banks rusting off their hinges and winter leaves swirling about empty cashier booths, carried on a cool breeze … picture the downtown roadways of New York, London, Tokyo, Riyadh, Sao Paulo, Johannesburg and Berlin with tourist placards commemorating where the mega-financial corporations once stood, and where the flowers now grow, clean of the towering usurers.

This article is available in:

Start 2012 off with a radical promise to yourself and to future generations: move your money from the big banks and put it into your local credit union. If you’re sick of corrupt financial CEO’s getting away with thievery, why not take your cash out of their neo-classical doomsday machine for good?

All global movements begin with a magical individual moment when theory and action coalesce into a conscientious singularity. In the start it’s only a trickle. But soon word spreads … first one, then two, then a dozen, and then all of a sudden, a million people by April Fools’ Day have shifted their dollars from the global casino and back into their communities.

Do this … and don’t be surprised if soon afterwards you find an extra bounce in your step, a smiling solidarity in each new hello you give, a more wild and free twinkle in your eyes.

Here’s to the gravitas Year of the Dragon!

...and if the above article is not enough to convince you to move your money, ask yourself this question:
"How radioactive is my bank?"
To prevent another Chernobyl, TMI or Fukushima anywhere in the world, we must stop the banks financing the nuclear industry. Does your bank? You bet.
Have a look:

Cheers all. Have a sane 2012.

Again I do not question the fact that some banks indeed do invest their money into the "Nuclear industry" and while indeed I am "personally against all nuclear reactors" in their present form while however nuancing this general condemnation of nuclear power as a "scientifically oriented person" with the insight that there are indeed some reactors that are "safer than others" for instance, a "helium cooled reactor" is no doubt a "much safer reactor" than a water cooled reactor, therefore an "HTR" or high temperature reactor that "allows helium to circulate and cool the assembly of graphite encased Uranium" is much safer in my opinion than the standard water or breeder reactors that use highly reactive sodium as cooling medium, but the nuclear industry and the governments clearly do not care about the "safety of reactors" otherwise the "HTR REACTORS" would be the only ones employed, OH NO, all they care about is the "profitability" therefore it is highly likely they will continue to "tout as safe" those reactors that are as unsafe as Chernobyl or FUKUSHIMA these "evil water cooled reactors" and the reason I do call these reactors evil, is because they are unsafe at any "production level" just as Ralph Nader refered to the Ford Cars as "unsafe at any speed" now we do have a decrease in numbers of people killed both on the "ROAD" and in wars, and this may be partially due to increase "safety consciousness" among people in the world today, one kill for every 10 million miles travelled is not bad, but 0 kills would be better!

I do not condemn you for "taking your money out of the banks" but I would like to "reform the banks" and get rid of their "EVIL MANAGEMENT" the MONEY KINGS, who are also referred to commonly as "MASONS", and then "expose the horrible evil" that these "wicked oppressors" have done to the world with the HELP OF THE INTERNATIONAL JEW, who was condemned by these "wicked oppressors" as

THE WORLD'S FOREMOST PROBLEM, now as the "WORLD'S FOREMOST PROBLEM" according to Henry Ford who accused him personally of conspiring to take over the world with the assistance of his "council of learned Elders in ZION" and this is a "real book" Folks, and it was published by HENRY FORD and is a sequel to the conspiracy theory of "TSAR NICHOLAS the first" who stated that there was a "Protocol of the learned Elders in ZION" a book out of print, that I could not even locate at the library of congress in Washington DC, but the "general meaning was preserved" and rehashed when HENRY FORD printed his evil book, which was a

"TAKEOFF" or "SPINOFF" from this book and denounced again the "EVIL BANKER JEWS" as evil, while declaring no doubt that "EVIL KINGS WHO CONSPIRE AGAINST JEWS" and murder them are "justified" since it is only an "act of self defense" otherwise these "EVIL BANKER JEWS" would clearly take over the world, now if you look at OSI, and what it has done in its history here is an "INTERNATIONAL JEW" MR GEORGE SOROS, and he may consider himself to be "godly" if not "GODLIKE" because of his phenomenal wealth, nevertheless he does control a "Open Society Institute" that is the nemesis of all "evil wicked dictatorship" in the world, and as a result, all evil dictators hate him and have nothing good to say about him!

But they still "LIKE HIS MONEY", and sometimes they have allowed it to do its thing, not realizing that by so doing they were "digging their own grave" so to speak, for the "dissemination" of the "evil character" of their government resulted in a "loss of confidence" in their leadership which eventually resulted in their "peaceful overthrow" through the application of critical thinking skills among those who have been misled into believing that the "communist party can do no wrong", which is just as bad as the "KINGS THAT CAN DO NO WRONG" and the "L'ETAT C'EST MOI" among the french absolute monarchs!

Even the Wall Street Journal suggested that sometimes monarchy could be the best of all possible stateforms which is "correct" if the monarch is indeed a "model of integrity and honesty" and only has the best interests of his own people and of the planet at heart, as would be the case after the takeover of the "COSMIC JEW" the person who was "nailed to the cross" precisely because he called the "former king" Herod a "FOX" and denounced the ecclesiastical leadership in the form of "SCRIBES AND PHARISEES" as hypocrites that denied the faith by "paying tithes of anise and cummin" but forgetting the weightier matters of the law, and like the sons of ELI took bribes and perverted justice and oppressed the poor and as a "shew make long prayers" after devouring widow's houses!

Many people around Christmas make a "show of their love for God and the savior of the world" by giving each other "material presents" in honor of the birthday of their "Lord and KING", which no doubt is "pleasing to God" that once a year people forget their selfishness and their wickedness and their greed and their "occupation with material law" and are willing to "bless someone" beside themselves, but often it is not "the poor" that are being blessed but "close relatives"!

But what we need to remember is the injunction of the "PROPHET ISAIAH":

CEASE TO DO EVIL, LEARN TO DO WELL, RELIEVE THE OPPRESSED, BLESS THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS, AND NO LONGER CALL "EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL"!

I DO NOT OBJECT TO "EVIL KINGS DOING CHARITY", but I object to is how they "obtained their money" to do charity, and that they use most of their money "not to do charity" but to "get more money" by "starting more wars" in the world and supporting secretly evil governments all over the world so that they have "more enemies to fight" and can force more people into war and destruction which of course results in "murder and mayhem" all over the world, but the "WAR INDUSTRY" read "defense estabishment" is happy because it gives them a "reason for expansion" now make no bones about the fact that when "war expands" this is a good excuse for "social programs" to contract for we can just "send the poor soldiers into war" the EVIL KINGS SAY, and then if they "get their heads or hands or feet blown off" then we can "dump the remaining human refuse as insane lunatics" on the streets of the United States and let them "murder more people there", all for the purpose of "thinning out the population" like Warren Buffet stated, the reason he sponsored Roe vs Wade is simply because if a child is not even born, I do not have to share my wealth with that person, what a "BLESSING IN DISGUISE" that is why evil kings "MURDER PEOPLE" because that means it is "more money for them" and less for the rest of the world, when are you going to GET THAT, it is really THAT SIMPLE, and MR Jason Alan Jankowski, is nice enough to explain it all in his book:

THE ART OF THE TRADE, we "force you into loss" so that we can "make out like kings", very well put, I must say he really opened my eyes, as to how the "Stock and commodity markets really works" and as a "commidity broker" he should know for he is "part of the system"!

I posted the nuclearbanks.org link above, so I feel free to answer.
Just two things, to cut a long story short:

1.) Nuclear power was an expensive mistake from the beginning. And I mean all forms of nuclear power.
2.) I'm not interested in whatever conspiracy theories. I suggest we take responsibility for today's situation and act accordingly (energy- AND moneywise).

When you say "all nuclear power", are you also referring to nuclear fusion as well? Also, what would be your alternative to nuclear power, as it currently appears to be the best way of producing vast amounts of energy without the issue of greenhouse gases, although a small amount of greenhouse gases would inevitably be produced through production and disassembly of the power plants, obtaining and transporting the uranium and so on. Then again, all energy sources inevitably result in at least some amount of greenhouse gases being produced.

When someone say that "Nuclear power was an expensive mistake from the beginning" and adds "I mean all forms of nuclear power", one can be reasonably sure that they include Nuclear Fusion - which has always been just around the corner. Like the British pub notice, "Free Beer T o m o r r o w!"

How to stop worrying and learn to love the Atom?

Then again, the latest PR is that the James Bond 007 films are to blame for nuclear's bad image.

All forms of nuclear power have been "an expensive mistake from the beginning." Check out
("Jeffrey Patterson on Nuclear Power and Human Health") on YouTube.
The Replies show that the pro-nuke looby are a little upset.

I just want to say that you don't need to put every second god damn word quotations. After attempting to read your incoherent rabbling I can only presume that those words are coming from you and are not actual quotations. So... learn to write. You won't learn to do so reading the Bible. That's for sure.

What a bunch of pointless, short-sighted claptrap. What happens after everybody has moved their money from the evil moneylenders' institutions and the local credit unions become huge, wealthy corporations? More of the same. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

And, just what in the Hell does "Here's to the gravitas Year of the Dragon" mean? It's a semantically null sentence.

Folks - meaning the people who write the actual articles - on this Web site sure seem to enjoy throwing around polysyllabic jibber-jabber that they clearly don't understand. It's like kids in school who think they'll get extra credit for using big words, then write "prestidigitation" when they mean "prognostication." Sure, it's nice that they know the words exist, but it'd be even better if they knew what they meant and could use them correctly.

This is a very pretentious Web site. Any chance of speaking and writing like normal people, rather than like second-year Communications majors? (Just an idea, but it might help!)
