Here are some shocking facts about poverty:

According to Malaka Gharib (2014), “every year, developing countries are robbed of more than $1 trillion that could fight poverty, disease and hunger”.

Why?

She says that the reason is "corporate secrecy and phantom firms".

SON TIEMPOS DIFICILES: TIEMPOS PARA SER SOLIDARIO Y PARA CRECER ESPIRUALMENTE

Económicamente hablando, son tiempos difíciles para mucha gente. Son tiempos para ser solidario.

Todos estamos en la sala de espera. Unos con mucho. Otros con poco. Y muchos sin nada.

Aquellos que tienen mucho, se aferran a su mucho. Aquellos que tienen poco, también se aferran a su poco. Aunque hay excepciones. 

Y los que nada tienen, pueda que se aferren o no a la nada. Aquí en este extremo se pueden encontrar profundos filósofos, crecidos espiritualmente por los golpes de la vida.

Pero al final, en la Hora Final, todos acaban sin nada. 


Es antes de llegar a la Hora Final cuando hay que hacer algo por aquel que tiene poco o no tiene nada. Las oportunidades aparecen como de la nada. 

Entonces, cuando la ocasión se presenta, es sólo cuestión de extender la amorosa mano solidaria.

Hay que crecer. Espiritualmente.

¿Y qué es crecer?

Crecer no es crecer donde piensas que debes crecer sino crecer donde deberías crecer para crecer donde no quieres crecer pero debes crecer para comprender que crecer es saber aplicar lo que aprendes para crecer.

¿Estás tú en ello?

GERMANY: UNFREEZING FROZEN BALLS WITH TOXIC WOOD PELLETS. NARCO-WOOD PELLETS IN THE MARKET?

By Gundhramns Hammer & Salvatore Scimino
February 28, 2016

Whenever and wherever they could, without wasting any time and chance that came along, like a pair of rabbits in heat, they used to get coupled like any couple. They loved fiddling away their coupling parts (Video 1)!!


Video 1. Live to love. Uploaded by Various Artists - Topic.



But this couple, whose names by the way were Zornie Gliedstein and Fanny Gibbmirmehr, was not just any couple. This recently married couple loved to pamper those external and delicate soft coupling parts in the human body, especially him.  

Besides having pampered anatomical coupling parts, Zornie and Fanny were also very stingy. In their land, Germany, people call this “not being wasteful”. 

In other words and in fact, Zornie and Fanny were maniacs about “not wasting” any of their hard-earned money. 

There is nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, in a planet with limited resources this is indeed a good habit. 

But there is a catch-22 with this couple´s stingy habits as we shall see soon: An environmental cost.

This “saving money” habit - the magic fountain, the bread and butter of the fucking banksters, the Aladdin´s Lamp of these evil-possessed bastards who love accumulating gold in their dark dungeons to be able to send in the boys to war sooner or later in order to make more gold, just like these Mother Earth-fuckers did it during WWII - is instilled early in life in Germany. 

Zornie and Fanny grew up in a world full of recipes on how to “save money”.

They both worked for one of those elite-owned, sometimes deeply-rooted phantom-firmed and tax-havened money-laundering, companies that have sprouted all over the planet to build thousands of farting machines named “automobiles” or cars”, which, even when they are called as such, having the fancy Greek root auto, these fucking contaminating machines still need someone driving them: A human, i.e., a biological robot, behind the steering wheel, someone who will receive and breathe in all the crap (benzene, carbon monoxide, etc.: in-car air pollution) coming from the combustion taking place inside the guts of the engine as the machine is driven around.

If you don´t have of these fucking farting machines, you are not part of the Earth-screwing crowd. Having a car has become a sickening parasitic relationship. So much so that there are some people that would love to put their car right into their own bedroom and used it as a bedding-down instrument at night. Sort of like a drive-in sleeping machine inside the house.

Moreover, some men not only have fallen in love with a car, but also fuck cars! They suffer from car fetishism (mechanophilia).

Anyway, many people have used these farting machines to couple once or more times in their lives. There are a lot of people out there who have lost their virginity in a car.

There are also those naked apes (Homo insapiens) whose unusual habits lead them to take it to the extreme. When screwing, some couples cannot reach warp speed and thus reach the stars unless they are fucking in the back of a car where they will get excited by the fumes given off by the car petroleum-derived plastic or leather stripped from a cow!

But let us get back to Zornie and Fanny.

One day Fanny and Zornie got home much earlier than usual. Zornie was extremely upset because of the weather. It was dead of winter in Germany.

As soon as they hurried inside their mortgaged den called “home”, which was as cold as the North Pole that particular Thursday, Fanny asked Zornie, patiently: 

  • Honey, why are you mad?
  • My balls are freezing!!!, Zornie answered, screaming to the top of his lungs. He was obviously fucking sick and tired of putting screws in a raw six days a week and year round at the car factory, with only August to go somewhere in the world to be “free”, just like all of human slaves in “developed” nations do on any vacation today. 
  • No problem, honey! Put some wood pellets into the wood stove, Fanny added sweetly, trying to quite down his madness.
  • Fuck! That´s is exactly what I´m doing, he screamed back. 
  • I´m trying to unfreeze my balls, he yelled again.

That night Zornie was awfully terrified like never before at the thought of ending up with his DNA shooting package wasted by the freezing cold, unable to fire his varicosed rocket to the Moon again.

So, like a Speedy Gonzalez mouse in the TV cartoons, he quickly fired the wood stove. The machine obeyed him. Lucky for him.

God, heat at last!!, Zornie thought as he got his delicate parts as close to the heat source as he could, trying to save his  deep space Enterprise probe which had been attacked by the earthbound deep coldness that particular afternoon after work when he got home.

Their stinginess kept them from leaving their heating contraption set on automatic with a pile of wood pellets fed inside its belly to keep warm their sweet nest owned by the bank.

Fanny and Zornie were trying to “save” as much money as they could for their next vacation to an exotic land. One of those fucking globalised tourist traps full of “traditions”, “colourful typical dresses” and “native culture” recently invented, usually in secret meetings on purpose by the local servants leading and managing the lands of the Dark Lords, where everything has been designed to entertain any tourists that have been steered towards any of these “culturally rich” lands sold as such by the elite´s abundant travel agencies which are so abundant in any city around the world today.

But their stinginess did not help at all the forests in Romania, the country where the wood pellets came from.

Why?

Because, like Fanny and Zornie, there were more folks in Germany that were using wood pellets from Romania to keep their asses warm during winter. Thousands of people!

In fact, in today´s Germany there are thousands of consumers who have switched to wood pellets for heat and power production.

But wood pellets must come from somewhere. Humans do not have yet matter synthesizers like the ones in the Star Trek TV series.

Wood pellets come from places with abundant trees. Such places are becoming rarer as time goes by. When it comes to destroying trees, humans are number one on Earth.

And nowadays Romania has become the target to chew up its forests, not only for wood pellets, but also as raw material for furniture, plywood, etc.

It happens that Romania is still rich in virgin forests but not for long, for trees are being cut down (Fig. 1) at a fast speed by foreign companies and the locals paid and bribed by the foreigners (Videos 2-3).

In a nutshell, as far as wood pellets are concerned, Germany is burning the Romanian forests (Figs. 2-4).

But Germany is not the only country consuming this kind of wood product. There are other countries ready to buy wood pellets.

The wood pellet market is growing like fucking crazy. It has globalised.

As a matter of fact, wood pellets are right now the in thing to do all over Europe to keep warm during the cold period of the year.

Besides Europe, Asia, for example, has also a growing demand for wood pellets.

It seems that everybody is being wood-pelleted!

Wood pellet factories are sprouting all over the world (Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Canada, etc.)

Oil-fueled ships carrying containers with wood pellets are now part of the global commerce going from one end of the world to the other, from producers or manufacturers to consumers.

For example, Canada exports wood pellets to Europe. Amongst others, the United States is also a big wood pellet exporter to Europe.

Therefore, you cannot call this moving back and forth of wood pellets around the world a “green” or “sustainable” business.

It is far from that.

Magelli et al. (2009) have shown that “about 7.2 GJ of energy is consumed for each tonne of wood pellets produced and shipped to Europe, representing about 39% of the total energy content of the wood pellets. Among those energies consumed over the life cycle, about 2.6 GJ is associated with long-distance ocean transportation”.

No wonder Captain T. A. “Ike” Kiefer (2013) has called biofuels, for various logical reasons, the “Twenty-First Century Snake Oil”. 

Despite this, wood pellets are rapidly becoming the newest energy fad.

So it is not surprising that there are now more than 400 wood pellet making plants spread all over the world. And as time goes by, knowing how some people love to hop in “sustainable” bandwagons, you can rest assure that more will be built.

Out of these 400 tree chewing factories, no one knows yet how many of these are connected (directly or indirectly via phantom firms in a tax haven) to the organised crime, i.e., narco-wood pellet factories.

The global wood pellet production has reached over 25 million tonnes in 2014, according to Jack Huang (2015) (Figs. 5, Table 1). And still growing!

This also means that somewhere in the world, the air in a residential area will be fucked up because of the wood combustion (i.e., chimney crap), becoming contaminated with pro-inflammatory and cardiopulmonary-screwing PM (particulate matter: e.g., fly-ash containing sulfur, sodium, zinc, lead, cadmium, chromium, silicon, potassium, etc.) and cancer-causing PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: e.g., acenaphthene, anthracene, benzene, chrysene, fluorine, naphthalene, perylene, pyrene, retene, etc.) and what have you.

Fuck!

Anyway, let us wrap it up.

Today, using wood pellets for heating and power purposes is big business.

In fancy terms, this means that wood pellets from chipped whole trees or pelletised biomass fuels (i.e., sawdust, wood chips, planer shavings, logging residues, wood scraps, bark, etc.) are one of the fastest growing energy sectors in the world.

And this is without taking into account the additives and binders [wheat flour, starches (corn, wheat, potato, sorghum), bone meal, blood meal, chicken feather meal, fat and protein meal from slaughterhouse scraps, fish bone meal, shrimp shell meal, leather residues meal, rapeseed flour, potato flour, potato peel residue, coffee meal, vegetable oils, dolomite, bentonite, lignosulphonate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, lignin powder, bark and pine cone meal, treated and irradiated wood sawdust, motor oils, coal debris, etc.] used to increase the raw material base needed for the wood pellets and to improve their rheology during manufacturing or the mechanical durability of the finished product but which not only compromise their thermal value, but also increase their ability to produce more dangerous carbon monoxide emissions.

In other words, wood pellet manufacturing is used as a dumping ground of the many new raw materials that are always coming out of the never-ending industrial chain of Man´s antibiospheric economy.

Hmmm… Carbon monoxide (CO), a silent death trap in the room where the wood pellets are stored!

A silent death trap?

Yes, sir!!

A few people have already died from exposure to CO given off by wood pellets. Gauthier et al. (2012) have reported two deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning that have occurred in wood pellet storerooms of private households, one in Germany and another in Switzerland. 

Mon dieu! 

And as usual, those greedy businessmen behind these Nature-chewing enterprises, joint ventures and adventures which sometimes may have been set up purposely to do heavy duty deeply phantom-firmed underground money laundering, thus producing a product better called narco-wood pellets or narco-pelletised biomass fuels, besides making lots of money from destroying forests one way or another, they also love to put the “sustainable” or “green” label on their products to trick any shop-addicted robotic and environmentally unconscious customers.

For most people, waking up is a hard thing to do!

But it does not matter how we look at it, humans (Homo insapiens) are now caught in their own net, swimming in their own pond full of shit and difficult dilemmas today.

Ecologically speaking, we humans are fucking stupid!!

For instance, is it not stupid to use over 40 million kg of pesticides annually on lawns to keep them “pretty” and “weed” free in the United States alone? 

Mon Capitaine, it is clear that humankind without trees is nothing. No trees, no civilization as we know it. 

Oui, mon ami. 

And humans are destroying Earth´s forests at a rapid pace.

Anyway, as far as we can see, like we have said it before, the only truly sustainable human being is a dead one.

Precisely, mon Capitaine!

Get to know the Jesuits. Even if they don´t want you to see what you may want to see, it is a good idea to remember that what they want you to see, they let you see. And this may help you see what you want to see.

Some people say that this is what you see of what they want you to see (Video 1):

WHAT IS POWER? IF YOU HAD IT, WOULD YOU BE AN OGRE OR A CHAMPION OF JUSTICE FOR THE POOR AND FORGOTTEN

Source: Wikipedia.

February 19, 2016

As musical group Tears For Fears´ song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", most people dream of having tonnes of money to have a lot of power.

But in the human world, what is power? What do you understand by power? What would you do if you suddenly had a lot of money  and therefore wield tremendous power?

Would you then become a fucking ogre, perhaps worse than you already are, or go the opposite direction, turning into a champion of justice and a fountain of relief for the poor and forgotten in the world?

Obviously, these are big questions. 

The historical process that you are would then be tested to the limit.

CACOS HACEN LO QUE SABEN HACER EN JACA

¡Dios mío! ¡Me han robado! ¡Malditos ladrones! ¡Ladrones ... hijos de puta! ¿Dónde estaba la policía? ¡Me cago en la mar! ¡Cabrones! suelen ser algunas expresiones comunes que salen de la boca de aquellos enfadados que han sufrido un ataque de pérfidos cacos.

En una ciudad, tan pequeña como Jaca (Huesca, España) que perfectamente se puede atravesar andando en unos 15 minutos, los cacos llegan usualmente en horas de la madrugada, tan silenciosamente que parece que ni siquiera los policías se enteran, amparados por la penumbra u oscuridad y probablemente rogándole a los diablos para que nadie los descubra, penetran en su objetivo (negocio, vivienda, etc.) y  hacen lo que los ladrones saben hacer: robar a destajo todo lo que puedan pillar. 

Bueno, esto es lo hacen los ladrones ilegales, quienes a veces actúan así por necesidad, en otras ocasiones por vicio y en algunas pagados por alguien a escondidas para evitar la competencia en su propio negocio en su territorio. 

Pero en la Viña del Señor también hay cualquier cantidad de ladrones legales y parásitos que usan la legalidad para salirse con la suya cuando la legalidad se utiliza para tapar con legalidad su ilegalidad. 

Y también estos ladrones legales llegan silenciosamente en plena luz del día, tienen todo bien atado, cuentan con buenos recursos y mucha gente a su disposición, por lo tanto tienen todas las de ganar. Según ellos lo ven, lo que hacen, lo saben hacer muy bien. Y lo que saben hacer muy bien es sólo para su propio bien.

Vosotros, pueblo, que aguantáis el azote y machacado de estos anclados ladrones legales ya sabéis cuáles son estos pillos que nadie los pilla pero que joden a los que trabajan y pagan con su sangre y sudor a estos pillos legales.

Pero volvamos a nuestra querida Jaca, un hermoso lugar donde la repostería es tan deliciosa y exquisita como maná caído del cielo, un lugar donde los que mandan a veces hacen cosas que años más tarde, sus descendientes, se quejan por las enormes meteduras de pata (e.g., haber mandado al garete su medieval muralla; la destrucción del Templete de Santa Orosia) de sus antepasados o las generaciones del futuro se quejarán porque sus antepasados forraron con hormigón ("urbanizar") los bellos parajes alrededor de la ciudad (e.g., el antibiosférico proyecto de Levante) poniendo en peligro la sostenibilidad de la ciudad ya que dicen los expertos que las ciudades del futuro deberán obligadamente ser ecológicas, flexibles para adaptarse a cambios, descentralizadas y autosuficientes en sus necesidades básicas, también el hogar del gigante Don Chopo y un punto desde donde se puede incursionar hacia los valles mágicos de Pirene para deleite de los ojos y el alma del excursionista, una ciudad ahora bajo el punto de mira de los cacos. 

Al menos eso parece, según algunas quejas y noticias.

Por ejemplo, en el Pirineo Aragonés, el "periódico más antiguo de Aragón", el día viernes 12 de febrero de 2016, en la página 8, apareció la noticia "Nuevo robo con lanza térmica en un establecimiento de Jaca" (Fig. 1).  


Figura 1. Noticia de robo en Jaca (Huesca, España). Fuente: El Pirineo Aragonés, 12 de febrero de 2016.


Hombre.... Pero.... ¿Será posible que no los pillen antes de que estos malditos pillos pillen en una ciudad tan pequeña?

En fin, todo queda en manos de aquellos , i.e., las autoridades correspondientes, que son pagados por todos para mantener el orden público. Ojalá que vigilen mejor y capturen a aquellos que les gusta aquello que no es suyo antes de que se salgan con aquello que los cacos pensaban ponerle su guante a lo que no les pertenecía a ninguno de ellos.

Dice una víctima de cacos en Jaca: ¿No sé qué demonios están esperando para coger a los cacos antes de que jodan a otro? 

¡Ojalá!
