Rudd vs Gillard 2012

As I have blogged before that I was very impressed with Kevin Rudd and after coming back to Australia it has confirmed to me that Australia has to be one of the best countries in the world.

What is really interesting to me is that Rudd nearly has double the support of Gillard from ALP members but still the majority of Elected labor MP's want to continue with Gillard. Again who are they representing the Labor Party or the Australian People.

Being an ethnic brought up in Australia in the seventies and eighties has made me a labor supporter even though I do like Tony Abbot. Our local member who is a strong Gillard Support really helped us so I am pretty conflicted in this whole issue.

My Really take, if Gillard leads the Labor Party in the next election then Labor will have one of its worse results like the NSW labor party in 2011 in which Labor received its lowest number of seats since 1898 and its lowest vote since 1904. I would be worried if the same power brokers in the NSW labor party also have significant influence in the Gillard group.

If Rudd wins can't see the independants doing a no confidence vote as they will lose their seats and can see a better result for Labor party but they will probably still lose depending on what Rupert Murdoch wants.

What is good for Australia is not having one of the partys dominate and that's what would happen if we have elections soon.

One of the biggest problems I have seen while being back in Australia is the lack of attention to details on a lot of different organisations especially government funded departments. So I was pleased to see that Labor MP's complaining how one of Rudd's biggest problems is how he sticks to procedure and his attention to details.

We are facing the biggest challenges that world has faced and who do Australians want to lead us in these challenges, I will go with the smartest man, who understands Chinese and has Christian values.

Ron Paul Nevada

I have been following Ron Paul with major interest because he has been the major agent in me learning more about economics in the world. So I have been following the Nevada primary with interest as I thought he would do well.


The results so far for nevada are shown below and for me it doesn't make sense. As in my experience is once you are Ron Paul supporter and have gone down the rabbit hole you don't choose an establishment candidate or don't take part. The head of the  Nevada GOP Chairman Amy Tarkanian has resigned which add more drama to the situation

 To me it doesnt make sense the the state that is facing the worst effects of the economic crisis was not able to get significanlty more people to the only candidate that seems to understand and predicted what is causing the crisis.



I have just watched this clip which motivated me to do a post




To me TPTB need new consultants as the actions are becoming to obvious which is making it much harder for their minion to justify their actions. I can actually seeing the minions losing motivation. Because in the end they also have ego's and hate to look stupid.

Pimco Reality Check

Mohamed A. El-Erian came into my radar when I watched a show in which he was informed about the Financial crisis in 2008 and one of the first things he did was to call his wife to get money out of an ATM as he was not sure if it would still be there the next day. I have just watched a recent show in which he is trying to tell TPTB the problems with the direction that they are going mainly to reduce the risk to his daughter. So I have a significant amount of respect for him.

With Bill Gross, I have been ambivalent until he started saying statements that supported Ron Paul and now he has produced this letter  So there must be a financial reason why the main staff at PIMCO are giving reality based arguments about what is happening financially in Europe and USA. Probably to save their funds.

Another interesting comment I keep hearing is how main consultants of this big funds are personally going into gold but not their funds. I would say this is a selfish reason as if their funds started making significant purchases then their would be significant movement in the Silver/Gold prices which is not what TPTB want to happen at this moment.

I just bought some more physical silver and my local coin chop seems to be running out of pure silver coins and even junk silver. I still don't know anyone else purchasing physical silver so not sure what to make of it.

Still haven't decided if I will create another list with all major natural disasters for 2012, man starting the year too negative.

Once we were warriors

I have three son's and could say they portray an image of aggressiveness. As we are islanders we have that feeling that we are warriors based on our heritage.

This led to an interesting conversation with my son in which I told him the warriors of today are not the people that are strongest or toughest physically but are the people that are able to sway peoples opinions using the tools of speech, action and written documentation.

I was telling him it is very important for him to increase his vocabulary and instead of learning wrestling and UFC move to learn more about the world and be able to explain concepts so that other people are able to understand them. The warrior of today is also not the person that knows the most but the person that is able to change the views of other people based on the weapons of speech, actions and the written word.

My key has always been the ability to get big picture understanding of stuff but was never able to communicate it well especially with speech. I also am not able to lie to win an argument just spin the truth so I have never been able to be warrior of the new generation. I have been significant factor in major change for a significant number of people and looking back at things my weapon for that change has been mainly powerpoint and the ability to get people to trust me.

One of my son's has a confidence problem in talking in front of people and actually since having this conversation I can see him change his attitude about speaking which makes me happy. The reality though is my family from Fiji are not warriors but the priest class. In this day the priest class seem to affect more change then the warriors of old.

Obama changes direction

In my experience as a manager you are stuck with certain employees in which you are not able to get rid off due to office politics and culture of organisation. So what i had to do was assign the work that needs to be done to people that could get it done. Also need to be able to fund it with resources.

The new task unit headed by Eric Schniederman seems to be what Obama is doing as he can't trust the SEC to do the work that is needed to be done. I really hope this task force works and if it does then people will see that their will be consequences for bad actions and doing stuff that will wreck our futures.

One of the big problems Obama face in economics is picking really smart people with good intentions. As in my experience it is the smart people who are able to twist debates around to suit their intentions and if you have a few people like that in a room the psych effect of group pressure starts working on you. Obama needs some radicals with good intentions to change this dynamic. And don't worry if they know more about specifics then you just go with your gut which is hard when you are brought up on rational debates and good arguments. 

That is one benefit of the Republicans is that it seems they don't need logical arguments to implement policy.

To the TPTB it is good that you are willing to take some losses to some of your minions and hopefully it is a sign of that you realise that you are at more risk now then you have ever been. And it doesn't matter how much paper assets or power is against you name as once tipping point has been found, gang in trouble.

First post for 2012

Stopped posting for awhile and have taken the blue pill as its more fun killing dragons in skyrim then it is worrying about how the world is turning to shit.

Starting to get a reality check as kids have to start school next week and it looks like silver is making a major move upwards. Bought over some more cash so will make some more purchases soon. The spot price doesn't really bother me anymore as after MFGlobal the TPTB just just playing with themselves with paper prices. Just buying physical silver.

What motivated me to post is the only thing connecting me to the Red Pill is me following Ron Paul. The republican primary really show me how screwed we going forward. When conservatives chose Gingrich to be the leader. How is a person who has not been able to manage three marriages able to manage the most powerful country. I think the TPTB have chosen Obama buy the actions of the contendors. Reality is that Ron Paul is the only real competition but TPTB won't let him win.

There are now different levels of people the people who understand which means they recommend Ron Paul or the people that are still ignorant or reality facing us. Its really that simple now and if they are paid to say otherwise then that is worse.

I know I still have a lot to learn but what is happening to us but it is amazing how the TPTB have kept so many people distracted for an understanding of what is happening to them.

I have lost faith in Obama, I thought he would do the right thing for his daughters and maybe he is because I don't have all the information that he has.  But it sure doesn't look like it from here.

Sometimes I think I may be deluded and just getting reinforcing information from sources like Zero Hedge and Turd. I was totally wrong about Apple when majority of my points are still valid. I think I could be a few years out which means that call was totally off but not as bad as Vince Young call.

I pride myself in being able to predict stuff and getting first four in Melbourne Cup gave me confidence again. Totally positive that physical silver prices will blow out just don't know when. I though the financial reset in which I think it is already happening its just that its taking a long time to happen. like the van falling of the bridge in inception. But what layer are we in now.

Okay rambling finished, this was a good exercise for me to get back to reality.

I don't believe that electing Ron Paul will solve the worlds problems but at least he admits to understanding the problem. Amazing I can't see it being solved as the main factor is attitudes of people that need to changed and I can't see that happening unless there is a major disturbance to their reality.

Only way it can be solved is live simply that others may simply live. I am not even sure that I am willing to do that.

Ron Paul GOP 2012

End of the year and one of the  most significant people in waking me up has a chance of winning Iowa in the GOP primaries.   Since the main streem media is now controlled by TPTB a good sign to to tell who they consider dangerous is how they treat them in the Media. Especially the pundits on both sides of the "left right divide".

I don't support a lot of Ron Paul's beliefs but know that his honest and not significantly controlled by TPTB. He also understands the real problems facing our future and I would rather have someone understanding the dangers we face then one contributing to further damage our future or even worse not understanding the dangers we are facing.

The only issue I have with Ron Paul is that he doesn't look or sound presidential. This is okay with me but not sure about his supporters. I have been reading a lot of daily kos, redstate and little green footballs lately and its seems that most hate comes from Republicans. Its funny to me how people worrying about racism, gay rights and abortion when what is currently happening is human rights are being curtailed by TPTB. What is the use of all these other rights when you main right of freedom is being lost.

The main benefit though is that more people will become awake as the media will now have to confront Ron Paul and what he has on his side is reality based arguments. I have always argued that if you have reality on your side its is much easier to argue positions.

One other factor that I have come to realize is when people stop sharing sacred values that civilization becomes a free for all and then a breakdown of society occurs. Ron Paul is trying institute a sacred value of following the constitution and I am sure if majority of actions start following the same rules it will be a major step in the right direction.


I was also happy that Martin Armstrong has endorsed Ron Paul. Armstrong is still one of the most accurate commentators out their. I have started reading Steve Keen who's ideas are more like me that any other commentator I have watched so far.

I have started purchasing physical silver and since I have started purchasing the spot price has reduced around 20% which I am happy about. It will mean I will be able to buy more physical silver. I believe the MF Global disaster will be a milestone in history when documenting the decline of western civilization.

Its amazing to me in that I have had one of the best years of my life but feel like that I am now the coyote in road runner that is running on thin air about to fall down. A better example is that scene in Inception where the van has crashed over the bridge and its on its descent. Question is which reality are we in?

Wealth of Country using Big Mac Index

I haven't posted for awhile as have been concentrating on Family obligations and buying physical Silver. After a recent discussion about values of currencies, I was interested in working which is the best currency and country to live in.

As living in Australia and being able  to buy four large chickens for less then one hours work at minimum salary so I thought it would be hard to top Australia. So was thinking how could I do this. I have always liked the Big Mac index to compare currencies against each other but though it might be better if we use the minimum wages of the country and see how many big macs they could buy using the minimum wage for one week.

Below is a rough guide I got based on information from wiki.

Country	Minimum Per Week	Price Big Mac	No Big Macs per week
Russia	1082.5	75	14
Brazil	155.5	9.5	16
Argentina	375	20	19
India	2000	84	24
Greece	167	3.44	49
Hong Kong	895	15.1	59
US	275.5	4.07	68
Mexico	2183.48	32	68
Japan	24282	320	76
Canada	389.5	4.73	82
Germany	319.25	3.44	93
UK	231.04	2.39	97
New Zealand	494	5.1	97
France	335.9425	3.44	98
Sweden	345.5	3.44	100
Australia	570	4.56	125
Denmark	462.5	3.44	134

I was surprised at Denmark having highest total until reading about them, which states that they are the most equally distributed in terms of income. So it makes sense that the poorest in Denmark would be able to eat a lot of big macs as their weekly salary wouldn't be far off from the Rich in Denmark.

I like this type of analysis as if we use average salaries then the income inequalities of places like USA have to much influence on the stats so when we focus on the minimum salary, it gives a better understanding of a significant number of people and the general health of country in my opinion.

I didn't put in poor countries like e.g South africa total is less the then three big macs in a week. Also Fiji is around 20 which I am happy about. If we had a comparison of buying a coconuts then Fiji would do better but that's why Big Mac index is one of most efficient comparison tools that I know off.

The biggest surprise to me was Russia, Brazil and Canada.For some reason I thought Canada would be better.

Anyway stats confirmed what am seeing on the ground and am very happy to be in Australia while we wait out the Financial reset and still don't have a good feeling on how things will turn out when this happens.  For me the biggest factor on how bad things will be is the price of oil in local currencies.

Ray Dalio Martin Armstrong #occupywallstreet

On the weekend I listened to an excellent podcast from Martin Armstrong which just confirms that we are in an economic collapse. I am amazed that in the last month my outlook and view have been changing with more good information.

As my philosophy is that I will continuously change my view, if I find better information, examples and logic that supports the change. Joining the #occupywallstreet movement has given me a platform to test my understandings of whats happening in the world and also hopefully add some awareness so that we get closer to reality.

One of my favorite posts since I started blogging was my understanding of the powers that be it was a fascinating learning experience for me in creating that post and it affected some of my understanding of what is happening around us. I am really pleased that a lot of that information was confirmed by a  study in new scientist. My views have changed a little since then but I won't post it until I have a better grasp on how the machine works.

Which brings up to the second interview that I read that has given me hope. I believe that Ray Dalio model is showing that we are in real trouble so he is trying to start conversations in getting ways to fix the machine, so that we can live in a sustainable world. His view is  “Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine.” His constant goal, he said, was to understand how the economic machine works".  His method to fix our mess is for people to first understand what the machine is and the parts of the machine. As you first have to understand how the machine works before you can come up with ideas how to fix it. Otherwise you will be just addressing the defects that the machine is producing.

His interview also is strengthening my view that machine is now out of control as the people working in the machine are not maintaining it and are more interested in the goods produced by the machine.

I think the first thing for me to do is to create a blog post on what I think the machine is, then I will be in a better situation to bring awareness to the machine.

This just brings up one of the major factors that got us into this mess, was the people in power who didn't realise how the machine worked i.e derivative market are the ones that cause a lot of the financial mess we are in.

Its like what I have told my family its like the ocean liner has gone off the waterfall and we are on our way down, What can we do?

This is really really hard but we have to do it, man the more I think about the future, the more dire it looks to me. To many greedy people and not enough resources.

#occupywallstreet cartoons

I created another youtube for #occupywallstreet in which put a lot of cartoons against my nice positive music. You need to also have fun when you are risking yourself because that's what we are fighting for is to have a good life going forward.

#occupywallstreet Best News Sources

I have been really committed to the #occupywallstreet movement since its first week and am amazed at the progress, as it is growing exponentially. Amazing how the LA protest started with only a few people waving signs over a freeway and has turned into a real model of how members of the movement, local politicians and police can work together.

For me one of the main aims of the movement is to shine light on activities by TPTB are doing to create an unsustainable world. The first part is to actually get a significant number of people to believe that their is a group of people that have to much power and are not wielding that power in a sustainable way. We are nearly reaching a tipping point on that awareness.

I also suggest don't get distracted by the minions of TPTB unless your answer will shed more light to the abuse that you are arguing over.

Okay good sources for information to get new sources of information to disseminate are

• Digg
• Reddit
• Do a search on topsy for occupy
• On facebook like all the "Occupy ?CitiesName?
• On Google+ do a search for "occupy wall street" then add people to an occupy circle
• Daily Kos

I really believe that we are building a movement that can have a significant affect on the direction on our movement. Good luck

Signs from occupy wall street #occupywallstreet #ows

I have been following the #occupywallstreet as see it potential vehicle out of our mess. I consider myself a member of this movement so have created my first youtubes. One in relations to signs from occupy wall street and another about riging from the oligarchy.

The most amazing thing about this movement is the awareness by people is increasing exponentially. A significant number of people now believe in TPTB only they call them the 1% and how all parties are the same and how information from corporate media is being manipulated.

Below are my first Youtubes..





Tribute to Steve Jobs and #occupywallstreet

Steve Jobs

Thanks Man for all the things that you have added to my life.

You give me more strength to try and change our world so it will be better for all our children.


"The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace"

You lived your life with honor.
