would it be possible to have a government made up of politicians not belonging to any political party?
it seems to be where the corruption with big business happens.
but then how would we choose a person for each post. lol, my grasp of politics is not the best.

Expensive prologue, Même the clocks is stopped on the right twice each day. At least it obtained this right. Large a mercy. jb.

Dear John, 100% correct. L' State or of government wants that you are commeune sheeple- “to count on us ' we will deal with all your besoins' do not think only for you-même" “To look at our media ' to see our newspapers” “We need only d' a system with two parties” —-the nonsense which occurs and on. It is absurd but very dangerous. Us n' let us have qu' to look with l' Ireland to see the result. Large a mercy. jb.

Hi tim – good to hear from you.
Yeah let’s hope the Icelanders send a real strong message to these Banksters.
It would be great day for people power.
Many thanks. jb.

Dera Stevo,
Most of the time I read now.
Used to be a big fan of American Folk/Blues- Woody Guthrie , Leadbelly etc. also Opera – Benjamino Gigli & Jussi Bjorling .
Not so much any more now though.
Heard about the ‘ City of God ‘ film – will check it out.
The Mad Max scenario is becoming a reality for many.
Regards. jb.

@ JbyeatsChurchill embodies the child? Me of d? Democracy? many? custody. It t? an ardent? supporter of They? democracy? but when you look at his exploits in South Africa, the eye crushing Boer (in search of diamonds and gold) who simply wanted self, a company t? s Calvinist (but d? indigenized detriment of the tribes? sons), and use the Black and Tans / auxiliary R Republic of Ireland, the analogy with the current situation is worrisome? aunt.

@ Flyhead2Chers flyhead, A big thank you to understand commentaire.Je tr? S well s? Defects of d? Democracy etc.. N? Theless, he t? around various forms of pr? s 3,500 years. Probably for much longer after? S today. It will go through many other forms etc & esp? Rons come? ? Ch? Ance.Enti? LY agree with your criticism of education. Churchill? A real silent? Elitist. It would really? T? the Duke of Marlborough – (v. -? its en-? re a? n?.) No m? me too? s r c that ‘? was her quote. A big thank you. jb.

Dear stevo,
Really do appreciate your comments – only wish I had stayed up & seen them as you posted them . You raise several very interesting issues – including the question of the Norman invasion.
It definitely set the mould for future British history. The concept of ‘ Force Majeure ‘
and ‘ Might is right ‘ – was integrated totally into British law , ethos & social behaviour by these same Normans . Definitely a highly ruthless & mercinary bunch. Thanks. jb.

@ Stevo7288223.Je can include/understand Cromwell – it left behind him a broken heritage – and its section of l' Ireland is completely condemnable -, but it also left behind the basic concept of the parliamentary democracy and above all l' republican ideal but of short duration and vitiated. I can forgive him – but my Irish colleague to carry out a 30 year old war civilecontre d' other colleagues Irish men – for l' essence – that will to take many g

@ Stevo7288222.Leur is little diff? Reference r? It between Cromwell and the Provos, but it? A silent r? Publican of English and he has you? thousands of Irish men and women in a short p? with a period? standard arm? e – while the Provos are called r? Irish publicans are you? thousands stayed and many of their fellow Irish on a long p? period – 30 years – with a small arm? e. A similar approach – similar tactics – r? RESULT identical.

@ Stevo7288221.stevo Cher, Apologies, I’m just catching up on things now. A big thank you for all the comments. Sounds like you? Were in appr? CIANT the Guinness. Good stuff – especially the bottled version – my pr? F? R?. You have a great GENES. I agree the new principal so your comments especially the prospect historique.En respect Cromwell – he t? one of the first? remaining major figures r? publicans of Western Europe – the first vraiR? publican? overthrow the monarchy.

Look at Obama’s team of economists, advisers, even the Treasury Secretary, they nearly ALL come from GOLDMAN SACHS. Henry Paulson who distributed the first part of the Toxic Relief Asset Plan (TARP) was the former CEO of GS. We also have a huge problem with pension funds that have been promised & we have NO way of paying. Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare are all on the brink.
A govt. that grows so big that it can give you everything can also take everything away.

Good shout JB, Yes the Democratic system is best method for consensus, but only works safely with True Republicanism, which calls for Minimum Government, Sound Money and a True Free Market without any power hungry, corporate sponsored government intervention. Cant see any of that taking place in the near future with any of the countries involved in the IMF, wonder why? Perhaps they know exactly what they are doing?

Your right Iceland can define the tendency to show a little courage and to say to the bankers F – koff

Freedom has a price and c' is the responsibility. If you want to then live on peaceful and prosperous planet the system must be equitable for all. To distribute the recourse regularly by taking care of planet, unfortunately, that does not correspond to cupidity and survivalism which is l' attitude of the majority of the primary educations. The majority of people do not want to be responsible, they want to be free to make this qu' they want to take account of the effects on the others and l' State, according to them, must arrive there without work right fun

we must distinguish between a d? democracy or government by the people and what we think of? democracy and had the last one hundred? res ann? es, a s? represents democracy? sentative. There is a diff? Fundamental difference when the people vote directly for laws or proposals, as in Iceland or in the cantons of Switzerland and the people vote for? Read someone who then vote on these laws. If these members? Are honorable and have read only int? R t the people? mind that the System functions, not the r? alit?

Democracy is a noble ideal but is highly flawed, especially when public opinion is so easily melded in the school system and by a vertically structured media emporium. Churchill’s comment sounds noble but it must be remembered that he was a mercantilist and a strong believer in imperialism, and was part of an elitist cabal whom strongly believed in maintaining the hierarchy which he served. The bank-bailout’s most vile consquence is the gobbling up of small, ethical banks and credit unions.

I say I’m British but in terms of geneaology, I’m a mongrol. I’ve great grandparents from Dublin, England, Wales, Austria, Latvia and Huegenot France. I’m genetically confused with protestant French grandparents, catholic Austrian grandparents and a Jewish Latvian grandmother
I guess that’s globalisation for you! In WW1 I probably had relatives fighting on all sides from the eastern front to the western front ( my grandfather was at Gallipoli).

d? Democratic with the law being distributed? Through the hundreds. In the north t? Danelaw Viking but it wasn? silent m? me more? that democratic dictatorship that followed Norman. The only interruption in this r? Rule has t? Norman Cromwell and the Glorious R evolution, which I know you from? Test. But the Normans were found? that and gained control? it against? economy of the United Kingdom once more with the concept am? Rican leverage the tool to extract wealth from the common man.

Up late and pissed from the Guiness. I want to tell you something about Great Britain, you being an Irish Repubican. I’m British, and as far as I can tell the UK is still living under the effects of 1066. In the news they say this is an Anglo-Saxon crisis. I don’t believe it is. It is a Norman inspired crisis. When the Normans landed they emphasised the concept of proeprty ownership with the the land being ditributed amongst the Norman barons. In Anglo-Saxon England life was far more. .

With regards to Iceland, if you want to get a feel of how they might respond just watch the video Declare Independence by Bjork on You Tube. Says it all really in her own informative Icelandic style.
