The one-and-only Barge Inn, (on the canal bank at Honeystreet, near
Alton Barnes) centre of all circlemaking activities and associated
drinking, scheming, and the preparation of many great crop circle
deceptions of the last 17 years, is for sale. The back room contains a
crop circle gallery whose walls and ceiling are covered with circle
frescoes and designs. This pub has always been a tied house and the
brewery which owned it in Devizes used to appoint a manager to run it.
If they are selling the leasehold like this, maybe the new owner will be
able to make it a Free House?

mention croppie deaths/suicides].

Deceptions. For 17 years? It's a long time to be deceived and only
in tram lined wheat, right? Were any schemes drawn before the fact?

I don't think the rest of the world really understands what's wrong
with America. They see this huge bully killing and maiming everyone
world wide while their entire country is collapsing -- and yet the
Americans don't see it -- they're not aware of it at all.
The world has a suicidal, homicidal insane entity on the lose.
But no one really understands why.
The United States Department of Defense, as well as the Wall Street
bankers, and just about every other corporation in America are no
longer cognizant that their actions are self-defeating. The DoD is no
longer protecting its own country. The Federal Reserve is no longer
printing money which has any value. Wall Street creates unbelievably
complex ponzi schemes which have no value. The thing they all have in
common is that they, themselves don't understand how actions are
attributing to their own self-defeat. There's a reason for this, and
once you know it, it becomes obvious.
The United States of America is suffering from an epidemic of
aspergers syndrome which is a form of autism caused by too much
mercury in the vaccines.
Aspergers victims are capable of highly complex understanding with
singular issues (compartmentalized, myopic thinking), but are unable
to comprehend the ramifications of their actions in a larger picture.
Aspergers victims are not cognizant that the tasks they perform are
either useless, highly detrimental to themselves, or highly
detrimental to others. Aspergers victims view the world through a
myopic lens of complete self-absorption and are not capable of
knowing they are dangerous to themselves or others. They are also not
able to show remorse or true empathy to anyone.
One of the hallmarks of Aspergers victims is their ability to diagram
highly complex issues which they themselves understand, but the
function is useless to the job they're trying to perform.
Here's a perfect example of the 'work' of someone who has aspergers
syndrome:

But even the sharpest military minds in American were left baffled by
this PowerPoint slide, a mind-boggling attempt to explain the
situation in Afghanistan.
'When we understand that slide, we'll have won the war,' General
Stanley McChrystal, the US and NATO force commander, remarked wryly
when confronted by the sprawling spaghetti diagram in a briefing.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/04/28/article-0-09562375000005DC-283_964x699.jpg
Baffling: The PowerPoint slide shown to US commanders shows security,
economic and political conditions in Afghanistan. The dark blue arrows
represent Afghan National Security Forces with the enemy in red. Other
arrows highlight corruption, tribal favouritism and drug trafficking
PowerPoint has become public enemy number one for many US officers who
find themselves battling slide presentations rather than insurgents.
Some have gone as far as to declare all-out war on the software after
the military command was over-run with mind-numbing 30-slide
presentations.
General James N. Mattis, the Joint Forces Commander, isn't taking any
prisoners in his approach.
'PowerPoint makes us stupid,' he growled at a military conference in
North Carolina.
Brigadier General H.R. McMaster went one step further and banned the
presentation package when he led an offensive in Tal Afar, Iraq, in
2005.
'It�s dangerous because it can create the illusion of understanding
and the illusion of control,' he told the New York Times. 'Some
problems in the world are not bullet-izable.'
There is growing concern about the insiduous spread of PowerPoint
which has come to dominate the lives of many junior officers.
Dubbed the PowerPoint Rangers, they spend hours slaving away on slides
to illustrate every Afghan scenario.
Lieutenant Sam Nuxoll, a platoon leader posted in Iraq, told military
website Company Command how he spent most of his time making
PowerPoint presentations.
'I have to make a storyboard complete with digital pictures, diagrams
and text summaries on just about anything that happens,' he added.
'Conduct a key leader engagement? Make a storyboard. Award a
microgrant? Make a storyboard.'
General McChrystal views two PowerPoint presentations a day in Kabul
with three more during the course of each week.
PowerPoint was launched in 1987 and bought by Microsoft shortly
afterwards

Dear assorted generals and department of defense 'officials':
Your troops and officers have aspergers syndrome, generals.
It's that simple.
In other words, they're retarded.
And it's looking like when the last of the baby boomers
(who still have their brains intact) die, all you have left are
retards.
Sad but true.
I've been saying this for 10 years.
Fluoride overdose such as in the water,toothpaste, foods and
medications (specifically ant depressants) also cause mental
retardation.
Aspartame used as an artificial sweetener and hidden in foods,
medicines and vaccinations also causes mental retardation:
Today's Senate hearings, carried on CNBC, Bloomberg, and C-SPAN,
represent the first major exposure of the American people to the
scandalous frauds of the derivatives casino, including synthetic
collateralized debt obligations (synthetic CDOs or CDO2). These are
things most people have heard very little about. They begin to open up
the shocking reality behind such shopworn euphemisms like "toxic
assets," "exotic instruments," and "troubled assets." Reactionaries in
general and Republicans in particular have done everything possible to
hide the role of derivatives, which must be considered the main cause
of the financial panic of September 2008 which brought down Lehman
Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and AIG, after felling Bear Stearns in March
of the same year. The reactionary legend, repeated yesterday on the
Senate floor by financier minion GOP Sen. Gregg of New Hampshire, is
that the crisis was caused by poor people taking out subprime
mortgages and then defaulting, bringing down the entire Anglo-American
banking system and triggering the bailouts. Either that, or too much
government spending was too blame.
A mass of kited derivatives blew up in September 2008
This Big Lie has come from such propaganda sources as the Limbaugh
Institute of Retarded Reactionary Ranting. But the $1.5 trillion in
subprime mortgages were dwarfed by the $15 trillion US residential
real estate market, to say nothing of the $1.5 thousand trillion world
derivatives bubble. But, starting with Bush-Goldman Sachs Treasury
Secretary Henry Paulson, the talk has been of a "housing correction,"
not a derivatives panic. It must be pointed out that derivatives are
nothing but wagers, bets placed from a distance on securities which
themselves are often not mortgages, but rather other derivatives. The
bettor buying a synthetic CDO or CDO2 does not own the underlying
mortgages or mortgage-backed securities, any more than someone who
bets on a racehorse owns part of the horse. Blankfein and others tried
to portray derivatives as a service to hedgers and end-users, but it's
clear that the vast majority of derivatives involve neither hedgers
nor users, but only bettors on both side of the transaction. It is in
any case this mass of kited derivatives which blew up in 2008,
bringing on the present world economic depression.
Goldman Sachs executives are babbling cretins
The mystique of Goldman Sachs is based in large part on their
reputation as the smartest financiers on Wall Street. After today's
hearings, this mystique has permanently dissipated. The Goldman
executives babbled. They sounded dumb. They stalled and stammered and
went into contortions to avoid giving straight answers to simple
questions. They were mendacious and evasive when they did speak.
Financial powers around the world will note carefully the refusal of
three out of four Goldman executives on one panel to state that they
had a duty to defend the interests of their clients. Who will want to
do business with such a gang? Goldman Sachs got $10 billion of
taxpayer money in low-interest loans under the Bush-Paulson TARP. Part
of that money went to pay for obscene bonuses for Goldman executives
like the ones on display today. The argument for bonuses is that they
must be paid to retain the highly talented personnel, virtual
geniuses, who are indispensable for Wall Street speculative success.
But these are no geniuses, they are imbeciles. No more bonuses should
be paid by banks saved through public money.
Don't buy any used cars from Lloyd Blankfein
Sleaziest of all was Goldman's risk-monger in chief, Lloyd Blankfein,
who pretended not to know that derivatives are often kept hidden off
balance sheet. The morally insane Blankfein testified that his role
was to provide the firm's clients with "the risk they wanted." Other
GS witnesses represented the firm's role as "distributing risk." But
it turned out that they were manufacturing risk through the very
existence and activities of Goldman Sachs, which had the result of
pyramiding the total risk of the US financial system into
intergalactic space. It is time to regulate much of that unbearable
risk out of existence with appropriate regulatory legislation. In the
meantime, no sane person would buy a used car from Blankfein. Nor
should they believe his assurance that the "recession" has ended.
But when at the end of the day Blankfein finally suggested to Sen.
Tester that synthetic CDOs might be outlawed, we should accept his
proposal immediately.
Today's hearings reveal the Goldman Sachs gunslingers and whiz kids as
ignorant gangsters and con artists, notable only for their ability to
practice massive fraud with impudence. These sleazy mediocrities do
not deserve bonuses paid for by taxpayers. Rather, it is time to shut
them down and put them in the dock.
If Goldman Sachs had cared about is clients, it would have urgently
warned them to unload their subprime risk by late 2006 or thereabouts.
Instead, Goldman was busily increasing its clients' risk by selling
them more toxic CDOs out of its own inventory warehouse.
Goldman Sachs: bookies who stack the deck and fix the games
As the philandering Sen. Ensign pointed out, comparing Wall Street to
Las Vegas is a slander on the croupiers of Las Vegas, where everyone
knows or should know that the game is rigged so that the house always
wins. To use the comparison introduced by Sen. McCaskill, Goldman
Sachs was operating as the gambling house, or the bookie. At the same
time, Goldman was betting for their own account. But much worse was
the fact that Goldman was stacking the decks, loading the dice, fixing
the games on which the bets were placed, and bribing the umpires.
As Ensign put it in a rare moment of lucidity, the subprime mortgage
was bad. But the collapse of subprime would not have had anything like
its actual destructive effect on the US economy if it had not been
compounded by the mass of synthetic derivatives that were piled on top
of subprime.
No national or social purpose served by Goldman Sachs and toxic
derivatives bets
The broader issue raised by today's hearing is: what human purpose is
served by the existence of Goldman Sachs, which concocts toxic
synthetic CDOs for the purpose of allowing speculators, who are often
lied to and duped, to bet for or against them. Goldman Sachs can only
be described as a speculative parasite which promotes the activities
of other speculative parasites, such as the John Paulson hedge fund at
the expense of the public and of its other clients. It was a crime to
inject $10 billion of Treasury money into Goldman Sachs. It was
another crime for the Fed to lend Goldman untold billions (just how
many billions Bernanke still refuses to disclose) to keep them afloat
and enable more predatory profits. These crimes must stop, and the
public money must be clawed back. Most important, it is time to shut
down the derivatives rackets.
Goldman got $12.5 billion from taxpayers for AIG credit default swaps
Useful questions from GOP Sen. Coburn pointed to another kind of
derivative: the infamous credit default swap (CDS). These CDS are what
brought down AIG, whose London hedge fund had issues $3 trillion in
derivatives. When the government bailed out AIG, part of that $180
billion of taxpayer money was used for payouts to the CDS
counterparties of AIG, biggest among them Goldman, which got $12.5
billion from the US taxpayer. That was 100 cents on the dollar on a
mass of toxic CDS. Coburn wanted to know why Goldman got all their
money back, while GM bondholders took a bath as GM went bankrupt. That
was, of course, a matter of Goldman's political clout through GS alum
Henry Paulson and Obama Car Czar Steve "The Rat" Rattner, backed up by
the historic preponderance of finance capital over industrial capital
in this country since Andrew Carnegie sold out to JP Morgan over a
century ago.
Derivatives and zombie banks: the toll
Thanks to Goldman Sachs, the other Wall Street zombie banks, and their
derivatives, the financial panic of 2008 has turned into a world
economic depression of unimaginable proportions. The unemployed and
underemployed in the US alone are surely in excess of 20 million. Five
to six million home foreclosures are already done or in the pipeline,
throwing tens of millions of Americans out of their homes. World trade
has been seriously impacted. The budgets of California, New York,
Illinois, and many other states are in crisis, with massive layoffs of
teachers and other state employees. An entire generation is being
destroyed. Now, Greek bonds are trading at junk levels under the
attack of speculative predators including Soros, Greenlight Capital,
SAC, and the protagonists of today's hearings � Paulson and Co and
Goldman Sachs itself. The attack on Greece and the euro represents the
leading edge of the second wave of the depression, which is now
arriving in much the same way that the second wave of the 1930s
depression was unleashed by the Vienna Kreditanstalt bankruptcy in May
of 1931, about 79 years ago and just a year and a half into that
depression.
The goal of the Republicans is to portray themselves as stern judges
of Wall Street, even as they line up in a unanimous phalanx to protect
the finance jackals from any meaningful regulation whatsoever - as
seen in yesterday's vote to block cloture on derivatives re-regulation
and reform. The goal of the Democrats is to expose the sociopathic
evil of Goldman Sachs and the rest of Wall Street while preening
themselves as defenders of the public interest, without however
banning credit default swaps, banning synthetic CDOs, and imposing a
Wall Street sales tax on all remaining derivatives and asset
transactions.
To this degree, today's hearings are being conducted in bad faith by
both major parties. However, the dynamic of the resulting spectacle
has the result of educating and mobilizing public opinion against the
predatory practices which are the essence of Wall Street, even a year
and a half after the banking panic of September 2008 and the monster
bailout of zombie banks which soon followed. What is required is a new
edition of the anti-banker sentiment set off by the Senate Banking
Committee hearings conducted from January 1933 to May 1934 by
committee counsel Ferdinand Pecora, which unmasked the corruption of
Wall Street. Persons of good will need to get active now to push this
process as far as possible while these social dynamics are working. It
is time to hit the zombie banks, the hedge funds, and their
derivatives as hard as possible, before the second wave of the
depression hits. The program necessary to fight the depression and
break the strangle-hold of Wall Street on the US economy and political
system is given on my web site.
Mitch McConnell on the bailout: "Harry, I think we need to do this, we
should try to do this, and we can do this."
During a break the senators filed out, and the GOP reactionary
lockstep once again blocked cloture for a final debate on the Wall
Street reform bill, weak as it is. Many activists of the Tea Party
naively believe that they have been fighting for a year and a half
that they have been fighting to take back the Republican Party. If
that is what they believe, today's second cloture vote proves that
they have gotten nowhere in their efforts. Despite their charades, the
GOP are the bodyguards of the Wall Street predators. Tea baggers who
think they can break the Wall Street grip on the Republicans are
pathetic dupes, and they need to wake up, pronto.
When Paulson went to the leaders of Congress to demand a $700 billion
bailout for Goldman and his Wall Street cronies, GOP Senate majority
leader Mitch McConnell was "deeply frightened" by the apocalyptic
briefing delivered by Paulson and Bernanke. When Democratic Majority
Leader Harry Reid started talking about how difficult it would be to
get so much money in a hurry, McConnell urged an immediate bailout,
saying: "Harry, I think we need to do this, we should try to do this,
and we can do this." (Andrew Ross Sorkin, Too Big to Fail [New York:
Viking, 2009], p. 442) The GOP was the original party of the bailout,
and they have not repented, as best seen through the continuance of
McConnell, one of the key midwives of the bailout, as Republican
Senate Majority Leader. This is the same McConnell who went to Wall
Street recently to meet with zombie bankers and hedge fund hyenas,
pledging to block derivatives reforms in exchange for big bucks
contributed to the GOP's campaign coffers. Tea baggers who think the
GOP has changed or is moving to their side are sadly deluded.
Today, the market fetishism of the crackpot Austrian school has taken
a severe blow. Now that Blankfein's public image has been soiled by
Goldman's scurrilous and scatological emails, the time is ripe for the
radical reform of derivatives and the zombie banks. This is a matter
of national survival.
Now that Goldman Sachs is masquerading as a bank holding company, it
is subject to FDIC rules. If Goldman's derivative hoard is marked to
market, it is bankrupt. The FDIC should therefore seize Goldman and
liquidate it under chapter 7 of the US Code. Sheila Bair should not
wait for Friday.
