Silence! Devil at Work!

Si! He Have Grown Horns!!

Over a period of around 4 million years, the Roman Catholic Church have manage to build up an unrival record of anti-Semitism, misogyny, homophobia, moralizing hypocrisy, secrecy, accumulation of vast quantities of material wealth, unquestionable authority, crusading against the infidel, intolerance, converting of heathens, absence of accountability and transparency, support for fascism and the forces of reaction, cultural imperialism in the guise of missionary and charitable works, snooping, spying, surveillance of the private activities of millions of people, torture, brainwashing, stifling of dissent, corporal punishment of minors, a prurient, morbid obsession with sex, and a ferocious contempt for the opinions, views, and values of the majority of the world’s human beings.  And ALL of this is now in danger of being discredited, just because of one government report that intrude upon the Church’s activities and which is not liking what it is finding.  Is totally a big disgrace!

One thing I am sure I can say without fear of contradistinction is that this would NEVER have happen under the watch of the True Pope, John Paul Mark Two. He would not have allow any such investigation into the Church’s private affairs. Indeed, it is a sad indictment of the way the usurper Bendedict has run the Church into the ground that this investigation ever took off in the first place. Long gone, it would seem, are the halcyon days of lovely old Holy Ireland when the bishop could rely upon the discretion of the Gardaí and local TDs not to create a kerfuffle about some unfortunate transgression of national and natural law providing that the offending priest could be relocate and the victims’ relatives intimidate or otherwise mollified. Obviously, democracy must take some of the blame for this, as well as universal education, which have raise espectations among the ignorant populace to unsustainable levels and also enable them to give voice to their petty grievances, such as hunger, injustice, inequality, oppression and so on. But also we cannot omit the hand of Satan, who have clearly tempted the priests to yield to their carnal desires, unnatural desires that I doubt very much they had ever even imagined possible until Satan put them in their heads. Priests, after all, are asexual people, which is why so many women enjoy their company. Not like nuns. Nuns are filthy.

You could almost say , if you was so incline, that they was Satan’s hands that was engage in doing all the dirty work, holding the priests’ hands, and also the priest’s other bits, doing so in the full knowledge that it would bring the Church into such disrepute when the facts was being made public, as Satan knew they would be. Eventually.

And you know, what we have heard so far may only be the thin edd of the wenge. As the Irish writer Tintin O’Foole has wisely observe in his new book, Ship of Tools, Ireland is a country with a First-world economy but a Third-world polity, still based on nepotism, cronyism, bad glad-handing, sad hand-shandies, shady back-handers, and offshore bank-handlers. Imagine what the country would be like if it had transparency and accountability!! We would be espose to a full cabinet of horrors of complicity, publicity, duplicity, and lubricity.

Fortunately, there is some hope on the horizon, in the shape of Ireland’s government deficit, which is something like €15 billion and which will knock the country back into the Feckin Dark Ages.  This long-awaited and much-to-be-desired retreat to Feudalism will concentrate minds wonderfully, I think, and the widespread poverty that the government is promise to share out to everyone will mean that once again they will all be dependent on the charity and benevolence of the Church, if it is so minded. I fully espect to see once again the blessed people of Ireland throwing themselves on the mercy and the lap of the bishop, begging forgiveness for their insolence in ever questioning the Church’s authority and right to do as it please. It will not be long before they are once again the most pious, humble, desperate, submissive and obedient peoples in all of Europe.

By the way, it is also worth that I point out that the health of the Catholic Church will not in the long run be affect by whatever happen in Ireland, regardless of the malign efforts of the usurper Bendedict, thanks to the massive strides that are being now made by the Church in Africa, where there are fresh pickings aplenty. Chad alone has 6 billion innocent benighted souls labouring under the yolk of Islam and unaware that they are in mortal peril of suffering an eternity of damnation with flames licking at their nether regions unless they put some clothes on and shape up. Already the poor ignorant savages of Africa have show themselves to be receptive to the most conservative version of Catholicism, which is a source of hope for us all.   They are undoubtedly where the future lie, and we should be unafraid to be optimistic that the Church’s empire on Earth is only going to espand in the decades ahead. In fact, even if the current generation are slow on the uptake and too old to understand the significance of the message the priests are bringing them, I am sure that their children will be a different story altogether, and we will be able to look forward to yet another new chapter in the Church’s unparalleled history of salvation.  Is enough to being a smile to the face of any priest!

    In feudal simplicitas ist wahre earthly paradise. Distributist land philosophy is where every good law abiding nuclear family can haff 10-acre organic vegetable farm on windy hillside with two tethered goats for produce Milch and Käse mit Honig. Church and Greens can support novel plan for new Hibernian human scale society. De Valera in his heart dachte so. Agricola laborens frugalitas, sanctimonia, simplicitas, novo humanitas hiberniae - ecco Dante’s Paradiso in saecula saeculorum. Benedictas qui veniat in nomine Fianna Fail.

    Hola Wally!

    I am not see any mention of a priest, so I know already in advance that your scheme can never work.

    Ah thats what they want but don’t fall for that trap, they are cunning. Don’t get angry get even. There is little justice in this world when these guys bugger a nation of children and get a few years in jail there bishop’s say they know nothing and the buck gets passed on to the pope in Rome. He is suppose to pass that on to god but he can’t. But what he do? go back to Germany? Hardly as the Jew said.. What!! Christianity true? if it was we would never let a business like that slip through our fingers. Patience.

  • EAPN Ireland | Workfare Won’t Work for the Unemployed

    Excellent blog post from Aiden Lloyd, on EAPN’s On the Line blog. This pretty much nails the governments ‘thinking’ behind the workfare scheme. It wants to be seen to be doing something, while doing absolutely nothing. The economic structure of the country is based on attracting foreign capital, aka laundering profits, which only really benefits a small minority. Everything else is supposed to ‘trickle down’ from this. They’re not interested in restructuring the economy to boost indiginous growth.

    Minister O’Cuiv aims to use these schemes to provide unemployed people with short-term work activity, to up-skill them and ‘get them back into the mainstream workforce as speedily as possible’. He further contends that ‘maintaining people’s employability through regular work activity will be important for getting people back into the competitive economy’. This stance is revealing and is indicative of government thinking in terms of job creation for unemployed people. It would appear that the decision has already been made that any recovery will be dependent on a general improvement in the global economy and that the immediate priority is to manage matters until this recovery comes about.

  • Hugh Green | Anglo Grinder

    Hugh Green, on foot of the largest profit loss in Irish history - the 8.2 bn lost by Anglo Irish Bank in six months - has started to look at the figures and its eye watering.

    Grants to Enterprise was ticking over nicely all the way through the boom, making up 5-7% of capital expenditure. Then bam! 2009 we’re up to nearly 25% of capital expenditure. Only problem is that in 2009, it’s mostly down to Anglo Irish Bank.

    And

    But seeing as we’re heading into the propaganda season leading up to the budget, talking about the ‘savings’ that will have to be made, what with the ‘fiscal austerity’ being demanded by the ‘markets’, in the form of cuts to welfare, education and health, consider austerity in relation to spending on Anglo Irish Bank.

    See chart for details.

  • Slavefare: government proposal is a sham

    This comment from an anonymous punter on progressive economy sums up many of my thoughts on the matter
    "The thing that annoys me most about this is that it's not a real proposal. The Department can't provide any detailed proposals because there aren't any!

    The Minister appears to have thrown a (bad) idea out there to convey the impression that something's being done to tackle our unemployment problem when the reality couldn't be further from the truth.
    He's accused unemployed people of widespread fraud, without offering them any hope of getting a real job.

    We've seen the biggest recorded job losses in the history of the state, and Minister O'Cuiv thinks the numbers are high because people are refusing jobs, or working and claiming - what jobs does he think are out there? Employers are complaining because they're inundated with applications for any job advertised, not because no-one's applying!

  • Social Europe Needs a New Economic Model | John Palmer at Social Europe Journal

    There is however, a deep issue at stake if defence of decent European social standards is to be placed at the heart of policy making and not to become an increasingly powerless lobby at the margins of the debate. For that to happen the European Union must surely break with an almost exclusive emphasis on GDP as the be all and end all of economic policy objectives. The time has come to replace GDP with a far wider, more socially and environmentally responsible measure of economic progress.

  • Michael Burke’s common on Michael Taft’s post on progressive-economy@tasc re Service exports

    In the late boom year of 2005 the Gross Value Added (GVA) of the building and construction sector was €12.9bn and industry ex bulding was €33.6bn (2009 National incomes and Accounts, Table 4). By contrast the GVA of 'Other services', which includes financial services was €67.6bn.

    If we turn to the separate Input-Output tables, the 3 categories of financial services (finance, insurance and related) comprised €32bn.

    These are very large numbers and they are based on a fiction.

    The CSO link provided by Michael Taft shows Ireland has a trade deficit in services with the US of some €17.4bn, whereas services trade with the Europe and the rest of the world is in surplus.

    Good post on the BBC's official response to criticism of their Panorama documentary on the Gaza flotilla
    The BBC has, predictably, “dismiss[ed]” claims that a recent Panorama documentary on the Gaza flotilla was biased towards Israel. But its response itself illustrates the crux of the problem:

    “Israel has been accused of breaking international law by seizing a Turkish ship. Israel says they were terrorists. Turkey insists they were innocent victims.”

    That same opposition was proposed throughout the documentary on the flotilla: were the activists terrorists, or were they innocent peace activists?

  • Companies Dodge $60 Billion in Taxes Even Tea Party Condemns - BusinessWeek

    The Double Irish’

    On advice from Ernst & Young, Forest Laboratories Ireland reorganized that year, dropping the country from its name. The newly dubbed Forest Laboratories Holdings Ltd. established a registered office in Hamilton, Bermuda, declaring the island its tax residence. This unit took control of licensing the patents.

    A second subsidiary in Ireland inherited the old name. It handled the manufacturing, sublicensing the rights to the patents, according to a corporate disclosure and an internal Forest flow chart tracing the arrangement that was reviewed by Bloomberg.

    The change helped the Irish subsidiary cut its effective tax rate to 2.4 percent from 10.3 percent the year before the reorganization, according to its annual reports. It did so by deducting from its taxable income the fees that went to Bermuda, which has no corporate income tax. Charlie Perkins, a spokesman for Ernst & Young, one of the so-called Big Four, declined to comment on its work for Forest.

  • Ireland: A recession of the banks, by the banks, and for the banks | afoe | A Fistful of Euros | European Opinion

    And yet it’s not clear that the worst is over. The banks haven’t yet made a big move on distressed home mortgages and no one is clear what will happen when forebearance is no longer a viable strategy. Notwithstanding the government’s attempts to compare tax revenue to “profile” (i.e. a very recent projection), the fact is that tax revenue is stagnant at last year’s depression-like levels despite an apparent recovery in economic statistics. And while there are those desperate hotels, the tourists will still find fussy and expensive restaurants (plus VAT).

    Are there any tricks left in the bag? The government is looking at privatization, most likely as a way to realize a large amount of cash at fairly short notice — essentially a portfolio switch of state-owned companies for all the bank liabilities it has taken on. And there are some bizarre Thatcherite echoes in the possible appearance of a poll tax by the end of the year (dressed up as a “flat rate” water charge or property tax)

  • How Much Did Eurozone States Spend On Bailing Out Private Banks? | Irish Public Policy

    As a percentage of GDP the Euro-area average is 25.4%, the EU 27 is 31.2%. This is about 1,870 billion for the entire Eurozone. Nothing compared to what has been allocated to the Greek government. But, get this, Ireland spent a whopping 231.8% of its GDP, massively above any other country. Most of this is accounted for by the blanket guarantee of bank liabilities.
