Saving what exactly?

September 2018 is over, and so we have someone to induct into the Sick Phoque Club. This month, it's daylight savings. What the deal is is that by sacrificing an hour of daylight in the morning, you get an extra hour of evening daylight. This is good for a lot of things, but is it really worth having to change your clocks twice a year? A Native American proverb comes to mind: Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.

Frivolous lawsuit much?

New boy gets the point

Not even the heart-warming return of Sir Alex Ferguson to Old Trafford could inspire Manchester United to victory against Wolves as the Reds were held to a 1-1 draw. Fred's maiden strike was cancelled out after the break by Joao Moutinho's well-taken equaliser and it brought to an end United’s winning three-match run. Hopefully this won't be the last we see of Fred because he has the potential to be a real asset to the Reds.

Reds triumph at Watford

Goals from Lukaku and Smalling brought home another three points for Manchester United today at Vicarage Road. Gray scored for Watford in the second half and Matic got sent off in injury time, but all that doesn't matter because it's the three points that count as far as winning the Premiership.

It's all in the toes

So now the whole tax thing makes sense

THE DEEP STATE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN NEW ZEALAND, BUT I KNOW HOW TO ERADICATE IT FROM WITHIN NEW ZEALAND.

The Pike River Mine conspiracy, the war against consciousness (cannabis prohibition), the P contamination conspiracy, the mycoplasma bovis disease, the 1080 conspiracy, chemtrails, geo-engineering, the sell-out to the international corporations under the TPP, millions in donations to the Clinton Foundation, the kidnapping of our children by the state, forced vaccinations, fluoride in our water, racial divisions under the Te Tiriti o Waitangi grievance industry, youth suicides, destruction of our environment, the ‘five eyes’ intelligence gathering facility being used against us, the huge divide between rich and poor, and the horrific $550 B debt owed by the working class to the banking class, are all symptoms of the same malady: we are all being played against each other by these apparently separate abominations so that we can never unite and rise up as a single righteous expression of humanity. The deep state is already in control of our lives; even to the point of projecting how we think and what we think about.

This is all very similar to what has been happening elsewhere in the world. Remember the Pearl Harbour cover up, where President Roosevelt forbid his intelligence officers to notify the Pacific fleet before the Japanese attack? Remember the CIA sanctioned assassination of JFK? Remember the Gulf of Tonkin and the phony North Vietnamese attacks on US ships, that led to the bombing of North Vietnam? How about the overthrow of Pinochet, Gaddafi, and Saddam Hussein?  Remember the manufactured ‘proof’ of Iraq weapons of mass destruction or how the CIA armed and trained the Taliban in Afghanistan in order to regain control of the opium market and more middle east oil? Remember the horrific bad acting around 9-11 that clearly implicated the US and Israeli governments at the highest level in premeditated murder of several thousand persons? And now the focus is deposing a much loved leader in Syria in order to consolidate central banking control over more oil reserves.

The similarities between us and them are glaringly obvious. The same players are orchestrating events all over the world; and as long as we remain divided or focused on single issues, our future as slaves to the elite ruling class is almost set in stone.

We are fighting against an international oligarchy that has $100 trillion at its disposal, and can easily enrol any person not firmly in control of their own consciousness and destiny. This is laughable because the majority of Kiwis seem to be easily bought off by the crumbs that fall from the plates of the rich.

This can appear to be an unstoppable juggernaut impossible to defeat; but only because few understand or realize from where this elite group acquire their power. THE DEEP STATE is really just a house of cards perilously built upon banking debt and the profit, through interest, that it brings.

The curious thing is, New Zealand is the only country I know of where the facts supporting this conclusion are so glaringly obvious. If the life blood of the Deep State is debt, the primary cause of that debt must surely be income taxes.  

Income taxes remove $50 B from the private economy, requiring a like amount of new bank borrowing. Interest is attached to debt, adding to the money supply without an increase in capital or wealth. This creates inflation, which our Reserve Bank then adds on to the Official Cash Rate, effectively ‘inflation-proofing’ the rich, and ‘inflation-punishing’ the borrowers, workers, and the poor. That is precisely why the divide between the rich and the poor has grown so wide, and why the banks have so much power over us.  

It’s really that simple. We can defeat the Deep State merely by eliminating income taxes. Ending income taxes does, however, require us to marshal and unite the people into a popular political movement, or a successful tax revolt.

The Association of Sovereignz has been formed to create a realistic political pathway by which this can be achieved. At the end of the day we will revolutionize and nationalize the banking system, but the journey towards that end is not so straight forward; requiring several carefully planned steps. We cannot achieve this without enrolling the voting public.

It is clear that most Kiwis firmly believe that government must be funded by taxes, and it would probably take a polar shift to dislodge those beliefs. Sovereignz has identified income taxes, fuel taxes, and road user fees as the principle causes of destructive inflation and the rising costs of living that inflation brings. Inflation - and the poverty it causes - lies as the root cause of all social dysfunctions. 

The Association of Sovereignz therefore proposes to replace those inflationary taxes with deflationary ones. A 15% Capital Exit Tax, similar to GST, will discourage capital flight, and target foreign investors otherwise escaping our tax net. It will also stop all currency speculation, leaving us immune to outside banking intervention. This will at least partly replace the present income tax revenue.

GST will be removed from all basic foodstuffs, and perhaps other survival necessities, providing some uplift for the poor.

I have considered placing GST on all residential home purchases, because the family home represents by far the largest and most lavish consumption expenditure any family is likely to make. Really, is it fair that one person can buy a $2 M home with no GST while the poor must pay GST on everything they buy? Not by my reckoning. However, I likewise accept that everyone wants and needs a home, and most persons at least aspire to one day owning their home. So, how do we resolve this conundrum?

For local buyers, we can make GST applicable only on the equity (deposit) part of the purchase; so that those who must borrow to buy are taxed only upon that equity, whether it be a 10% deposit, or even less. Those able to pay cash for their home(s) then must pay GST on the whole purchase price. This will create an entirely new income stream for government totally replacing the lost income from income taxes. It will also finally make the rich pay a much fairer share towards government services.

It is fair to say that non-resident foreigners have bid up the residential property market significantly. As we are largely a nation of immigrants (regardless of who arrived first), our first responsibility must lean towards existing local residents. All approved non-resident purchases of homes, land, buildings, or farms must therefore be subject to a non-refundable GST on the entire purchases; and the resale of same must also be subject either to the 15% Capital Exit Tax, or a Capital Gains Tax of similar stature.

This combination of tax changes ensures that all existing government services and liabilities will be completely funded by direct revenue.  This is where it gets really interesting.

Leaving $50 B of income taxes in the private economy must stimulate further economic growth. Whereas growth in the money supply causes inflation, growth in the economy causes deflation. Government must then intervene with some form of Quantitative Easing by which new interest-free money is injected or spent directly into the economy.

This new money can be used to fund new government capital projects, new public works, new hospitals, schools, and hiways, and/or the Universal Basic Income proposed by the Association of Sovereignz.

What will this look like to you? You, or the provider in your family will immediately be $150-$200 better off each week by retaining your PAYE. When the UBI kicks in, each member of your family will receive an additional $200 per week, on top of your wages and any other income you receive. Suddenly every single person and family will be empowered by the means to earn and save enough money to eventually own a home.

Poverty, and unemployment, will immediately be ended; with every person free to choose or change their job without fear of deprivation or poverty. Every person will likewise be free to choose alternative lifestyles which may not include paid employment. Many of our present unemployed will be free to move from expensive urban areas to low cost rural areas now languishing with little development. This will also encourage a general move back to the land, bring a guaranteed and portable income along with it.

Does this sound unbelievable? Of course it does, if we remain locked within old, failed belief systems. So consider this. Such a system would empower government to replace all existing high interest bank debt with new low interest borrowing. Once all debt is retired, every single person in New Zealand will be $130,000 better off than at present. Just retiring the interest on our present $550 B of debt would place $10,000 of extra cash with each person each year. A family of four would receive $40,000 per year from the UBI, plus whatever else they chose to earn.

What prevents this wonderful vision? Nothing at all but the present income tax regime which robs the working/borrowing classes of $50 B in profit each year through interest on debt.

No longer will we have to let it linger

Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan accidentally drowned in the bath after a night of heavy drinking alone in her hotel room, an inquest heard today. The Irish singer was found 'face up in the bath dressed in her pyjamas' fully-clothed in the bath of her room at London's Hilton Park Lane on January 15. The 46-year-old mother-of-three from Kilmallock, County Limerick, who had battled alcoholism, had drunk spirits and champagne and was four times over the legal driving limit when she died. Her inquest was held today at Westminster Coroner's Court on what would have been her 47th birthday. There was no evidence of self-harm and no suicide note in her room. But seriously, to all those people who think they can draw a bath after drinking too much, don't do it, don't do it cos it ain't not what it seems.

Lukaku burns Burnley 2-0

Manchester United leave Turf Moor with three well-deserved points off the boot of Lukaku, who scored in the 27th and again in the 44th to give the Reds a commanding 2-0 lead going into the break. No scoring from either end in the second half, but Rashford was sent off in the 71st minute.
