America's Faustian Deal with the Devil of War
Views on the world and things in it. I started writing the blog as a way of keeping track of information when fact checking things and to formulate my thoughts. It is still that, I'm no great writer.

UK Loses Triple A Credit Rating
The UK has lost its triple-A credit rating for the first time since the 1970s.
What is a credit rating?
Very simply its the ability to pay back what one borrows. Its the reason why you see signs in pubs saying " Please don't ask for credit as a punch in the mouth sometimes offends"
Why has the UK lost its AAA rating?
Most politicians have trouble tracking their own expenses, why should we be amazed that they lost an AAA rating?
Does the downgrade matter?
If your poor then yes the bastards will find a way to make you suffer more. If your rich who gives a toss open another bottle of champagne and blame it on the previous government.
What does it mean for the government?
A few more face saving arguments in parliament while (yes you've guessed it) they blame the opposition. Then its back to spin the bottle trying to decide if they really should do something which would actually make a difference. Decide to do nothing as they can always blame the previous Government.
So will the government now change its economic policy?
Probably not, they will just blunder along safe in the knowledge that they can blame the previous government, just like all governments in power do.

Created by God? - If so who was God?
The great pyramid, built by Egyptians?
Personally im skeptical, the accuracy involved is just to great and the qty of stone too big.
Lets work out the time scale very simply.
2,000,000 blocks of stone in 20 years
Thats 100,000 per year = 1,923 per week
274 blocks per day = 11 per hour
That means that the ancient Egyptians were laying 2.75 very large blocks of stone every 15mins. That's working constantly 24hrs round the clock for 20 years ... REALLY?? Do we really agree that this is possible?
So if the Egyptians just took them over i.e they were already built. Then who built them was it God? and who was God? Was the God that the Bible, Koran, Torah and any other religious book purport to, part of an ancient race from pre-history?
Did they leave us a message engineered into the ancient monuments warning us of something? something that got interpreted as "judgement day" in the ancient scriptures?
This is an excellent movie which shows the mathematics involved and the feats of engineering accomplished supposedly by the ancients with just Bronze chisels and Deorite balls.
Its quite long but very interesting.
Let me know your opinion I'm very interested what other people think.

Ruthless Blues
One
of the best, if not the best cover ive heard of this John (Irish)
Earle's sax break is like liquid chocolate graveyards, smooth, mellow
and haunting. John Knightsbridge comes in with a stonking guitar solo. Tony Fernandez (ex Strawbs) on Drums, (ex womble) Paul McCallum on bass and Stevie Smith
is on Vocals and harp.
John Knightsbridge ex cream, John 'irish' Earle (rip) was ex
many bands and Stevie Smith toured the US with Bad manners before joining Ruthless after Johnny Mars left.
Ruthless Blues – Ain't No Love (In The Heart Of The City)
Ruthless Blues brief history
God Fearing People .... Really?
One of the things that really irritated me recently were certain comments I saw on facebook made by Americans claiming that the real reason people killed (shot) (mass murdered) people was because they weren't "God Fearing" or they had "Lost Jesus".
Well Im sorry but I don't need a God or Jesus to tell me whats right or wrong. Neither do I need them to keep me on the right path or do good deeds.
I find some of these so called religious nuts damn scary. I also find the comment on pages like this one on Facebook, somewhat scary also.

Oooh yes you've guessed it I don't believe in God and i'm somewhat doubtful that a person called Jesus as described in the bible actually existed. But more on that in later blogs.
