THE VATICAN´S SUSTAINABLE DREAM: THE COUNCIL FOR INCLUSIVE CAPITALISM

    Coat of arms of Pope Francis I. Source: Wikipedia.


By G. von Hammer

Recently, the folks at the Vatican are talking about capitalism, the human inhumane monster that is killing the planet´s biosphere. They are gathering as many CEOs as possible from the world´s biggest multinationals, with the idea to get rid of poverty around the world. 

Their plan also involves bringing man´s squandering habits of the planet´s natural resources into a sustainable manner.

The Vatican´s sustainable dream has got a name: "The Council for Inclusive Capitalism".  

Doesn´t this name remind you of The Council on Foreign Affairs (CFR), the think-tank apparatus used by American oligarchs to shape, reconstruct or deconstruct the USA nation to their own designs?

How about communism?

Someone might even say that the whole thing sounds like the transformation of the old world order into a new world order with the Pope as emperor of the entire planet.

But for the time being, until they get this thing completely rolling, I am not sure that what the Vatican folks are now saying is what they say privately when they get together in their palaces to talk about what they will say to those that follow what they say in public.

Anyway, find out what the Vatican´s sustainable dream is all about. Click here.

MONEY BITTEN: GREEDY UP TO THE GILLS

Source: Wikipedia.


By Gundhramn Hammer & Yudit E. Ruiz Sánchez
October 21, 2017



"What is important in life is not what you do in life 
but what you become in life with what you do in life. 
Let what you do in life 
be part of what you should become in life: 
A kind human being."

- What´s your life for?
Gundhramn Hammer (2017) 
Gundhramns Hammer´s Philosophia (2017)


When it comes to money, most people just can´t get enough. They always want more and more. Money madness (Goldberg & Lewis, 1978) has grabbed their hearts.

Greediness is perhaps one of the most common diseases that attacks humans, anywhere, anytime. 

Today, even aboriginal people living deep in the jungles suffer from this disease. How? They have become addicted to the convenience of using petro-fuel for the motors on their canoes instead of sweating their butts rowing to get somewhere, for example. They also prefer steel machetes and bullets for their guns instead of stone tools and bows and arrows. Sugar, soap, salt, cookies, cooking oil, glyphosated grains and cereals and other modern commodities are now part of their lives.

Obviously, to get the modern conveniences, aborigines must have cash, gold dust or nuggets, anything that has a high market value outside their forested world. They have come up with many ways to obtain cash to buy things (e.g., guns and ammunition, sugar, soap, fuel, etc.) from the "civilised" world, for instance through contraband, human and arms trafficking, human meat trafficking, dancing for unsustainable tourists, prostitution, camelling for mafiosi (smugglers, guerrillas, narco-militaries, narco-businesmen, narco-entrepreneurs, narco-politicians, etc.), narco-trafficking, bush-meat trading, timber smuggling, illegal sawmilling, clandestine mining, leaving home to get temporary low-paying jobs in plantations or cattle farms, etc.

In "developed nations", the vast majority of people is under the grip of this illness. Many people are greedy up to the gills. 

Thus, in the concrete jungles around the world, there is an insane bunch of globalists that have more money than what they will ever need in a thousand lives. 

Since most people can be bought, in these car- and industry-infested and polluted man-made habitats, i.e., cities, you can also find some crooked lawyers who have really gone mad about money, for example in Canada (see Slayton, 2007).

People from "developing nations" are also suffering from greediness. 

For more information about this sickness that makes people go bananas about money and find out who is deeply suffering from it around the world, please go here

Now the big question: How are you doing on this? Are you übergrossly money bitten? 


Something to think about

Mon Capitaine, is money a tool or is man a tool of this tool?

Money is a tool to buy real necessities to keep yourself alive, mon ami. But when you become the tool of this tool to the extent that you have no room for anything else but being tooled by this tool, then you are nothing but a tool of this tool, hopelessly obsessed with the tool of all tools.

If so, mon ami, don´t go crying around asking or hoping for a radical change for the better in this world. 

You must change this within you to change that outside you.

Being a rotten and greedy human is easy, mon ami. We already have too many of these assholes running around. "What is important in life is not what you do in life but what you become in life with what you do in life. Let what you do in life be part of what you should become in life: A kind human being" (Gundhramn Hammer, 2017).

THE WORLD BANK: ITS ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICTS AROUND THE PLANET

Source: export.gov.



By Gundhramns Hammer, Yudit E. Ruíz Sánchez & Blanca I. Ruíz Sánchez
June 12, 2017

Nowadays, almost everyone knows what a bank is. Some people hate them, some people love them. It all depends which side you are standing on and/or whether winning or losing out of your bank-deposited money bag which is ultimately derived from screwing up Mother Nature somehow, somewhere along man´s economic line.

Although banks might tell you millions of times they are there to help you, by now most of you out there know what they are for. 

Any bank´s goal is to make more money out of your money or someone else´s money, besides having some siphons stuck here and there in the mud to fatten up its vaults, if it can get away with this. As simple as that.

But what most people don´t know is what a bank does with your money or any depositor´s money. 

Although today´s banks make annual reports available to the public, these don´t tell you jack of what is going on at the bank´s gut level. 

No bank will ever tell you, for example, that it is screwing up the environment with people´s money somewhere around the world at any given time.  

Unless caught with their crap in their hands, banks will always paint wonderful and rosy scenarios for various reasons: To keep their money-laden ship afloat, to hide their blood sucking, to continue loan sharking, to keep catching the public´s money, etc.

Banks mean business. And there are hundreds upon hundreds of banks all over the planet.

Amongst the numerous banks that can be found worldwide, the World Bank stands out.

And this bank is not free from creating environmental problems with its investments.

Would you like to find out the environmental conflicts of the World Bank?

GOLD MANIACS CHUPACABRING GHANA CHASING DREAMS: ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION FOR GOLD

Gold chupacabras (illegal gold miners or galamsey) tearing up Mother Earth´s guts in Ghana. Source: scmp.com.


By Gundhramns Hammer

Select, paste & translate: here or here


For our purpose, we introduce the verb chupacabre (pron., tʃupaˈkaβer; 3rd person, chupacabres; p. & pp, chupacabred; g., chupacabring), derived from Spanish, chupar = to suck; and cabra = goat) here. Literally, goat-sucker, referring to the chupacabra, the mysterious cryptid creature that comes out at night to suck the blood of domestic animals around the world.

If you have been working like a mule, 9-5, 7 days a week, for 40 years, and all you get is a fucking retirement paycheque that is not enough to buy you a decent meal and let alone to pay the high rent, then you have been chupacabred to the hilt by whoever has fucked you up legally or illegally, drained you up of your vital juice. This would be a good example using this verb.

Thus, following this thread of thinking, we define chupacabring, as the process by which someone is sucked of his or her vital essence to the fullest until what is left is nothing but a bunch of bones and skin or something is left in poor condition or destroyed after exploitation, a barren land like the Moon, in the case of the environment.

In this sense, little by little, Ghana, for example, is being stripped, destroyed, poisoned with nasty chemicals (mercury), chupacabred by maniac people looking for gold

Some do it to barely scratch a living, a necessity to survive, and others out of greed.

In Ghana, both cases, poor or rich, legal or illegal gold miners (solamsey) or gold chupacabras are destroying Mother Nature, the one source that feeds them. 

Eventually, Ghana´s bloody gold will find its way to the rich nations to use it in high-tech gadgets for consumers located worldwide, to do, generally speaking, what it boils down to watching TV, exciting neural circuits with porno, e-shopping unnecessary things or e-talking a lot of shit to softens someone´s heart until one day he or she comes along with the hello, let´s go play lovey dovey!, an I love you! (meaning I want to fuck you) or, at the extreme end of this consumption chain,  to transmit an e-mail to inform an Earth´s buster that his millions have been transferred to a safe tax haven so that he may continue with his same Earth´s busting, amongst other things which in the end amount or sum up to nothings.

Gold in high-tech science? 

Just to give you an idea of the use and importance of gold in the computer field, according to Bleiwas & Kelly (2001), "1 metric ton (t) of electronic scrap from personal computers (PC’s) contains more gold than that recovered from 17 t of gold ore. In 1998, the amount of gold recovered from electronic scrap in the United States was equivalent to that recovered from more than 2 million metric tons (Mt) of gold ore and waste."

Anyway, throwing a bird´s-eye view and putting aside the exceptions, we are dealing with gadgets to do nothing earth-shaking.

Nothing really on the biospherical line, i.e., to take care of the nest, Earth, something which should be everybody´s concern

This anthopogeoclastic drama is typical of the human species, one that is still in its infancy.

Man, so far, despite his fancy satellites, creepy nanogadgets, mutagenic GM foods, killing drones and at the top of other sophisticated inventions, his nuclear contraptions to annihilate life, he basically behaves and acts as a fucking idiot, a fucking stupid beast in the long run.

So, it ain´t surprising what Homo insapiens are doing what they are doing to undo what it took Mother Nature millions of years to do in Ghana: The gold miners are fucking the land up chasing dreams of hitting it rich.

Dreams are dreams but no dream can be a dream without another dream that can be dreamed when there are no dreams to dream because you cannot dream which means you have run out of the power that powers your dreams because your dream life has come to an end, the total end of your dreams.

Now we come to the dreams, those dreams that slowly will leave people without any dreams.

Let us take a look at Ghana´s gold rush. Let us see how the gold chupabring is being done in Ghana (Videos 1-2):

Mon capitaine... All of this pourquoi?

Pour faire more DNA!

See you later alligators!

WORLD´S TOP BANKING FAMILIES: THE ROTHSCHILDS

Source: TalkMarkets.

By Gundhramns Hammer 
October 3, 2014 

Since ancient times, some banking families have found effective ways to get any and everybody´s sweat and blood through legal means by any means according to the means of any society in which they operate at any means to make their own money and live a comfortable life, full in a world full of money-oriented people that may or may not have means but know where to go to get the means to make more means out of somebody else´s means accumulated in the banks of these very same banking families full of means. 

The Rothschild family has been one of these banking houses that early in their history learned how to manipulate ambitious European dukes, princes and kings into long and mean wars by any means in order to get their means whose sources were the means earned by their subjects that usually had barely any means to survive meaningfully in a society where most of the means were in a few greedy hands, the folks that had also found a way to screw the ones that had no means. 

Read the following annual reports of one branch of the Rothschilds´ economic tree to get an idea of this family´s global banking power, which in itself is a mere spoonful of the Hidden Hand´s giant cake on this Earth:

BANQUE PRIVÉ EDMUND DE ROTHSCHILD - ANNUAL REPORT 2013 
http://www.edmond-de-rothschild.ch/presentation/documents/annual-reports/annual-report-2013.pdf


From the above, we can gather one outstanding fact. 

In a world where the vast majority of the human population does not have any means to eat or are dying of starvation and also plagued with crumbling ecosystems, it is clear that these bankers (the Rothschilds) have been since the olden days (Figs. 2-3) and still are behaving as mega-chupacabras or mega-chupopterans (Sp., chupar = to suck).

Chupacabra rights  

In modern times, things are still the same as in the olden days except that the so-called “democratic model” that has been implanted so that the serfs feel free to a certain extent, socially, to fuck and spend their hard earned means up and down in a spree and economically, free to extend their given chupacabra rights to anyone or anything that has plenty of blood in a finite world. 

Obviously, this model has proved to be quite ingenious and appealing to the masses. It has some advantages over other social models of human control. 

The unusual thing is that in a "democratic model", very few people are happy despite their gluttony and bloating and lots of people distantly located go by without any means in order to maintain the means of these few with means.  

The result of all of this - everybody´s chupacabra business - is a fucking mess (Videos 1-2). 

 Video 1. Man´s land, air and water pollution.


 Video 2. Our plastic mess in Midway Island.


To be or not to be a decent, really sustainable (not the crap the fucking and ecologically stupid global oligarchs are stuffing the public with worldwide) chupacabra (or chupopteran), for all heterotrophic creatures are chupacabras one way or another, on this Earth is one of our main dilemmas.
