Burundi, Africa: President Pierre Nkurunziza, 55, died following a cardiac arrest despite being known for his good health. Some have speculated that his death is linked to the fact that, less than a month ago, the Burundian government expelled experts from the World Health Organization responsible for ’advising’ on the false COVID-19 pandemic. Burundi had only one COVID death. Nkurunziza’s unexpected death is reminiscent of the mysterious plane crash that killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski in 2009 shortly after he refused the vaccine from the WHO against the H1N1 flu.

Neither is ignoring them.

When I see insanity like this I am pleasantly surprised that more politicians are not taken out by those they have harmed. Show what good souls most people are.

Thanks for the complement Chelsea!

Just a reminder to my Yank mates that you are “constitutionally entitled to travel freely, assemble peacefully, earn a living and worship.”

And that “ANYONE who declares the suspension of constitutionally guaranteed rights and or attempts to enforce such suspension... ...is making was against our constitution(s) and therefore, we the people. They violate their constitutional oath and, thus, immediately forfeit their office and authority and their proclamations may be disregarded with impunity and that means ANYONE, even the governor and President.”

This was the ruling of The United States Supreme Court in Ex parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (1866): “Neither the legislature nor any executive or judicial officer may disregard the provisions of the constitution in case of emergency...”

A lot of good tips re indoor house plants to be had here:

It is important to know the motivations and intentions of those who would affect you.

I have made up my mind to say my say. I shall do it kindly, distinctly; but I am going to do it. I know there are thousands of men who substantially agree with me, but who are not in a condition to express their thoughts. They are poor; they are in business; and they know that should they tell their honest thought, persons will refuse to patronize them—to trade with them; they wish to get bread for their little children; they wish to take care of their wives; they wish to have homes and the comforts of life. Every such person is a certificate of the meanness of the community in which he resides. And yet I do not blame these people for not expressing their thought. I say to them: ’Keep your ideas to yourselves; feed and clothe the ones you love; I will do your talking for you. The church can not touch, can not crush, can not starve, cannot stop or stay me; I will express your thoughts.’ Robert G. Ingersoll

I do not know enough about Robert to know to which church he was referring but it applies equally today to the church of religious dogma that is big pHarma educated and funded medical pseudo science!

The Senate Economics Legislation Committee is conducting an inquiry into the Banking Amendment (Deposits) Bill 2020 that Senator Malcolm Roberts introduced on 27 February, to amend the 2018 bail-in law so it cannot be used to either convert into shares or write off—“bail in”—our savings in bank deposits.

Senator Roberts’ bill is very simple: it merely puts in writing, in legislation, the government’s assurance that our bank deposits won’t be converted or written off in a banking emergency. The problem with the government’s assurance as it stands is that it isn’t in the legislation, and is therefore effectively meaningless.

All concerned Australians should make a submission to the inquiry to insist this protection for depositors is put in writing in the legislation. The deadline for submissions is this Friday, so don’t delay—make a submission today to send the Parliament the loud message: “Hands off our deposits!” And everyone should demand the Committee hold at least one public hearing so experts who are warning about bail-in can testify.

Click here https://www.aph.gov.au/…/C…/Senate/Economics/BankingDeposits for the Senate inquiry website with submission instructions.

The Committee is expecting a flood of submissions and is preemptively warning they won’t all be published. To maximise the chance of having your submission published, save it as a PDF file and use the Upload facility on the above website, which requires creating an account. Otherwise, emailing your written submission to the Committee at economics.sen@aph.gov.au is perfectly fine. Please send a separate copy to the Citizens Party: info@citizensparty.org.au

Here is what I wrote:

To The Members of The Senate

Dear Members,

Part of the structure of this economic framework is that shareholders buy shares as a part owner of a corporation in order to hopefully enjoy the gains and, if necessary, the losses involved with being a part owner of a trading enterprise.

Both the hoped for capital gain of the shares and the dividend from trading profits are unknown, unspecified and uncertain and the purchaser of the shares is well aware of the risks associated with his purchase.

A depositor on the other hand is a person seeking to invest with a lower risk and a more certain, if potentially lower, return on his investment. He does not anticipate a capital loss on his deposit.

A bail in of depositor’s money removes the burden of risk of ownership from those who knew in advance of the up and down sides of their investment and transfers it to the depositors, most of whom had no iodea of the fact that the government could change the rules of the game mid-term.

This is unfair and dishonest.

Please do not allow depositor’s money to be used to protect the investment of shareholders.

That action is not necessary to “protect” the depositors as their funds are more than adequately protected by the many times their funds have been used to lend money to borrowers under the fractional reserve banking system.

If anyone is to take a loss on the misfortunes of the bank it should be the owners of that bank, not the depositors.

Respectfully yours,

Tom Grimshaw

The political donations aspect of this applies equally in Australia.

I would go further and ban all donations from corporations to political campaigns and limit the amount individuals can donate.

Trouble is, good guys don’t need rules and bad guys can’t/don’t follow them. They are bad because they can’t follow rules. So they will find a new way to be bad or just break the rules.

What will solve the problem is more ethical candidates and a more aware populace. That is not a quick fix. It takes time and effort.

Cemeteries are full of unfulfilled dreams... countless echoes of ’could have’ and ’should have’... ...countless books unwritten... ...countless songs unsung... I want to live my life in such a way that when my body is laid to rest, it will be a well needed rest from a life well lived, a song well sung, a book well written, opportunities well explored, and a love well expressed. - Steve Maraboli

(Tom: Are you working on your book/poem/opportunity?)

So bloody true! Unfortunately!

Thank goodness!

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!
