    Hoggers of the harvest
    by Steven James Pratt

    “and they have broken my house” Ez, Canto LXXVI

    House of supreme court and
    whitechapel packed since 1776?

    1970’s U.S. Gov. policy trending
    deregulation to bait business
    less oversight
    less disclosure of                       information
    about banks and other                financial
           institutions

    thus, policymakers blind to
                     gangster role played by
    financial inst. investment banks
                                            hedge funds and some gov.
    funded enterprises
             a.k.a the SHADOW
                     banking system

    October 82’ U.S. President Ronald
                                      ‘star wars’ Reagan signed into law
     the Garn–St. Germain Depository
                                   Institutions Act

    01’Off-balance sheet entities
    invoked by Enron as part of the
                                           rabid scandal

    03’ Warren Buffett on derivatives:
                                     “financial weapons of mass
    Augustus Gloop is stuffing his
                face

    And if a few bankers and financiers
    were jailed we would all be
                                     better off now?

    04’ U.S. Securities and
    Exchange Commission relaxed
    the net capital rule and the shit
                                    flowed into the mortgage nappy

    06’ housing froth and bubble burst
                                   in dung-bloom burst cycle peak
    values of securities hand-cuffed to
                                                     US real estate
                                                            drop

                                           predatory lending and/or
    mortgage fraud,
                                                 okey-dokey

    Gov and central banks
                        react with fiscal stimulus, an iron fist
    further funny-money policy buffering
               and institutional bailouts or
                                                       jail outs.

    07’ August 7

                     Boom! European sovereign debt crisis
                                                  crisis crisis  for the love of Isis
    what of barley, rice, cotton, tax free?

    can we have balance and neutrality
    in all courts, in ANY courts?
    is their a truly honest judge
                              anywhere on this planet earth?

    and dullards CasaPound hijack a turtle
                                         and a good poets worst
    ever mistakes

    08’ The U.S. Senate’s
    Levin–Coburn Report sez
    crisis was the result of:
                                 “high risk, complex
    financial products
                           undisclosed conflicts of interest
                                   the failure of regulators
    the credit rating agencies
                                and the market itself to rein
    in the excesses of
    Wall Street”

    Greedy sneaky double crossing
                                     fraud and conspiracy to commit robbery
         were not considered seriously
    in 08’?

                                                        Hanging from a cemetery door:
                              TO BIG TO FAIL
                                                       TO BIG TO JAIL.
                                                           (1913-2013)

    Several major financial institutions

                                     number of U.S unemployed
    rose from approx. 7 million in 08
    pre-crisis…
    to 15 million by 09’

                                 and if a few bankers and financiers and ministers
    were jailed we would all have been
                                                  better off by now?

    yet the richest
                                   criminals run wild and free
    buy footballs teams, industry and
                                       daytime TV
    all to raise the price of
                                                            stocks

    09’ Another G20 summit
                                          the great new long lesser global recession
    kicks in
                  ministers only appear at night

    In Ireland unemployment rose from 4%
    06 to 14% 10′
    the national
    budget went from surplus in 07’
    to a deficit of 32% GDP in 10’
                                            the highest in the history of Eurozone
                                                     control of the outlets?

                                      According to the CIA World Factbook
    from 2010 to 2011 the unemployment rates
    in Spain, Greece, Ireland, Portugal,
    and the UK increased
                                       and Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone

    11’ financial crisis inquiry
                              committee found that…
    over the past 30-plus years
    we permitted growth of
    shadow banking system – opaque
    and laden with short term
                                          debt – that rivaled the size
                of the trad. banking system.

             “criminals have no intellectual interests?” Ez, LXXVI

    who knew the multitrillion-dollar
                                      repo lending market?
    off-balance-sheet entities? and
                               abuses of over-the-counter
                    derivatives were hidden from view
                                                            who Who WHO?

    The crisis was avoidable
                                      disinformation ops on behalf of
    international finance capitalism
                                               usuriocracy

    like giving bunk directions to an
                                      elderly blind tourist

    mass protest movements
                 errupt
    responding to crime wave
    with peaceful alternatives, some
                                   riots and open revolts bloom

    12’ By the end of 11’
                Germany was estimated to have
    made more than €9 billion
    out of the crisis
                               investors flocked like vultures to safer
    but near zero interest rate German
                                         federal gov. bonds, binds, bundles, bunds, punds

    12’ July, the
    Netherlands Austria
    Finland benefit from
                                                    zero or negative interest rates
    may the reader pause for reflection

                                              the debt crisis crime wave forced
    5 out of 17 Eurozone countries
                    to seek help from other nations
    by Dec. 12’
                                            and no such thing as public opinion

    16 Dec. 2010
    the Euro Council agreed
    a two line cocaine fuelled amendment to the
                                                      EU Lisbon Treaty to allow a
    permanent bail-out
                                  mechanism to be established
                                      by political chicanery

    the Euro Stability Mechanism (ESM)
    is a permanent rescue funding
                                      programme to suck seed
    the temporary Euro’ Financial
             Stability Facility
                  and the Euro’ Financial Stabilisation Mechanism
    July 12’

    but postponed… until
    after the Federal Constitutional Court
    of Germany had confirmed
                                              legality of the
    measures 12 Sept’ 2012
                                   dragons snort rolling in pools of gold coin

    London excluded from
    future financial regulations
    including proposed EU financial
    transaction tax
                                and crime minster Cameron juggles
    his nukes
               who tried to buy peace with money?

    26 countries had agreed to the plan
    leaving U.K as only
                             country not willing
    to join.

    in case of economic shocks
    policy makers try to improve
                                  competitiveness
    by depreciating the currency
                           as currently in Iceland
    which beat-off the biggest financial
    crisis in economic history

                                               13’ China, India, and Iran
    with sluggish growth
    some drone attacks and
                     terrorism have NOT entered
                                                            recession

    however eurozone countries
    cannot devalue their
    currency
                                            as Silvio Gessel and C. H. Douglas
    and Ez might suggest

    this may nip usury in the bud
             and present a new solution to
                                                          boom bust cycles
                                  derivatives and crimes against nature
                                                              crimes against humanity

    “A system which becomes in practice merely another hidden and irresponsible tyranny is no better than any other gang of instigators to theft and oppression—Ez, the proof of the pudding. 1937.

  • Race Riots and Revolution in the UK

    Hi,

    The riots in the UK earlier this month (aug. 6-10, 2011) have provoked a number of textual reactions and experiments from me that I present here in a mish-mash-up style. Typically I have the beginnings of lots of different ideas, poems, screenplays, on-going research and rants. I might need some help editing some of this stuff.

    I decided that Race Riots and Revolution in the UK could be a title theme that runs through these writings. Please enjoy, share and feedback. And remember to try and think happy thoughts as ften as possible. Please, thankyou.

    QUESTION CRIME?
     
    Bits and thoughts like branches and leaves budding
    earth seasons seem to bring politcal and ecological changes,
    the city map of life inside a city map world ripped by a rat.

    Talkers gasping for fresh air, to make sense of the senses
    to pit poverty of imagination against scandalous expenses
    to lay seeds, to plough the fields and jump fences

    I am sucked into the babble slang and the prattle
    what’s in a name, what’s in a battle
    who traded pigs for whiggs, and precious coin for cattle?

    The scrupulus meanness of money magic
    the comedy in a staged collapse, tree’s felled: tragic
    politicians need MDMA for empathy and to help fight
    capitalist cancer outbrake.

    To gamble our land’s life support on the mad-Bull market
    gives off a reckless and putrid stench of rotting corpses
    cannibals of europe are eating their children,

    Each human mind encompasses the whole universe
    the whole multiverse contained inside a criminal thug?
    please, we are all interacting nervous systems beyond classification.

    HOW TO LOVE A HOODY?
     

    What does it take to love a hoody?
    never mind hug a hoody love a hoody,
    tuff love buddy,
    a flood of reasons to show empathy
    as some wise man once said ‘love thy enemy’
    so… how might we love a hoody

    What’s inside that hood

    Who’s under the street monkhood
    What creature lurks beneath the Addidas and the Nike garnments
    What feet creep across broken glass in Fila boots
    what’s inside the head wrapped in Burberry
    all day crime think? think again, 

    These are human beings just like you,
    criminality seems a pretty flimsy stick these days
    as one man goes down for knickin’ a shirt
    another walks, like Tony Blair, what is fair?
    To me Tony is no better than a hoody,
    Gangster activity, lack of insight and foresight,
    disrespect, bad judgement, personal benefit
    at the scandalous expense of others.
    Criminal intelligence is intelligence

    none-the-less.

    a gang is a group or slang for a coup
    on the sinister crime-minister’s ‘gang-think’
    David Starkey scans the culture darkly, 
    dimly, shortsightedly.

  • Just Like “Finnegans Wake,” But With Charts – Senate Committee Issues Report on Financial Crisis

    http://blogs.forbes.com/timothyspangler/2011/04/16/just-like-finnegans-wake-but-with-charts-senate-committee-issues-report-on-financial-crisis/

    “When i read the court proceedings in Joyce’s wake around page’s 572-576, i instantly thought about the court hearing that will come concerning the banking turmoil and crash affecting all humanity, especially the poor and displaced peoples, due to the international global financial system in place in 2009.–Steve fly.

     James Joyce writes:
     

    “This, lay readers and gentilemen, is perhaps the commonest
    of all cases arising out of umbrella history in connection with the wood industries in our courts of litigation. D’Oyly Owens
    holds (though Finn Magnusson of himself holds also) that so
    long as there is a joint deposit account in the two names a
    mutual obligation is posited. Owens cites Brerfuchs and Warren,
    a foreign firm, since disseized, registered as Tangos, Limited,
    for the sale of certain proprietary articles. The action which was
    at the instance of the trustee of the heathen church emergency
    fund, suing by its trustee, a resigned civil servant, for the
    payment of tithes due was heard by Judge Doyle and also by a
    common jury. No question arose as to the debt for which vouchers
    spoke volumes. The defence alleged that payment had been made
    effective. The fund trustee, one Jucundus Fecundus Xero
    Pecundus Coppercheap, counterclaimed that payment was invalid
    having been tendered to creditor under cover of a crossed cheque,
    signed in the ordinary course, in the name of Wieldhelm, Hurls
    Cross, voucher copy provided, and drawn by the senior partner
    only by whom the lodgment of the species had been effected but
    in their joint names. The bank particularised, the national misery
    (now almost entirely in the hands of the four chief bondholders
    for value in Tangos), declined to pay the draft, though there
    were ample reserves to meet the liability, whereupon the trusty
    Coppercheap negociated it for and on behalf of the fund of the
    thing to a client of his, a notary, from whom, on consideration, he
    received in exchange legal relief as between trusthee and bethrust,
    with thanks. Since then the cheque, a good washable pink,
    embossed D you D No 11 hundred and thirty 2, good for the figure
    and face, had been circulating in the country for over thirtynine
    years among holders of Pango stock, a rival concern, though not
    one demonetised farthing had ever spun or fluctuated across the
    counter in the semblance of hard coin or liquid cash. The jury (a
    sour dozen of stout fellows all of whom were curiously named
    after doyles) naturally disagreed jointly and severally, and the
    belligerent judge, disagreeing with the allied jurors’
    disagreement, went outside his jurisfiction altogether and ordered a
    garnishee attachment to the neutral firm.” –
