Geldof, Bono and the betrayal of Africa

Dear Mr Blair

At this moment in time the two men on Planet Earth best placed to help Africa are Geldof and Bono. Far better placed than Putin, Angela Merkel or Tony Blair. All three have their own hidden agenda, which they will not betray. But Geldof and Bono have nothing to offer, not even a hidden agenda and yet they have the goodwill and the backing of all humanity. But they can and they do whinge.

Unless the journalists of the world are willing to investigate the need for the G8 summit to exist at all and then only to “show themselves to be creeps fumbling with farcical work” progress will remain the art of sliding backwards when making “real progress”.

The whole world can see that we are all of us engaged in commercial warfare. Even the Pope fighting from his corner, Hilary Benn from his corner and disease from yet another corner. What is commercial warfare all about and who are we all fighting? We are all fighting each other. We do not have a common enemy.

There is no victory to be won.

There is no hope of peace, ever.

What is commercial warfare all about and who are we all fighting? Commercial warfare is imposed upon us by an inability to practice fair trading. An inability to observe that fair trading demands a trustworthy and reliable means of exchange and that we all use credit instead of money and that is to practice fraud with vehemence.

For example, we all want to “give aid” to Africa and instead we seduce the poorest people on the planet to get into debt, so that they may pay us interest. “We enslave the niggers with chains of debt, and allow them to die of starvation as we eat their food in the supermarket” .Global banking today is the issuance of new money as credit. We entice people and ourselves into accepting credit, which is an imitation of money, designed to make us come to believe that credit is money. There is an intention to deceive. We accept credit as a loan of money. We connive in and condone the counterfeiting of money. Dictionary definition of counterfeit. Imitation with intent to deceive.

Modern banking makes criminals of us all and Africa is betrayed by the G8. The mechanics of betrayal are not mentioned by any journalist on the planet.
