Yeah read it back guys prob was a wind up.

Ed/ Franky I think the guy was being tongue in cheek in saying why they don't upgrade infrastructure and the like. Which let's face it is more than likely true!

Mort

Got to disagree there with you Franky.
Any signal can be decrypted and stored. It makes no difference if its propagated through radio waves or any other way.
All it takes is raw processing power, some efficient programming and a few imaginative mathematicians.
That is why photon, DNA and quantum processors are not available for commercial use. Heard the NSA celebrated the first exaflops capable processor a few years ago.

Haha someone thinking of shareholders profits?do not tell me you also think of the queens heating allowance?

I suppose it makes sense to allow a cyber attack to happen and blame someone else for the dollar to collapse and let the people to be even more dependent on what the government wants, ie a new tax on security incase it happens again.

But that eats into the profits ed and then shareholders have to have less dividends.

It sort of makes sense that they still use them as we know any phone or email can be hacked.

Yeah recorded it and watched it last night, to be honest it seems very realistic and it shows how much we rely on electricity , the only thing about the program it only shows when the lights go back on again after 2 half to weeks later and not the aftermath which would be just as bad, another thing it made the fema camps as a sort of haven and while it did point out the police and army treating the people like animals, the message I got was expect it.

i am old enough to remember the power cuts in the 1970s (3 day week strike) as a kid and as a family we dealt with it, there were a hell of a lot less cars and we were not reliant on things were are today.

I find them very interesting but I am not too sure about the "mainstream" explanation either. I would think there are better ways to send instructions to spies. On the other hand, I could be simply reacting to being constantly lied to by the "mainstream".

Anyway, three way more imaginative explanations are:
1)The stations are transmitting commands that are subconsciously received and decrypted, on key frequencies, in order to manipulate the masses.
2)The whole thing is an overcomplicated cover up. Alien civilizations are using radio waves to transmit the secrets of the universe and a globally coordinated effort was launched to keep us from finding out.
3)The characters and numbers transmitted are actually affecting the "matrix code" of the universe from within. Every country is projecting their preferred version of reality. Countries opposed to one another broadcast on the same frequencies, in an attempt to prevent the others version from manifesting.

I mean they always bring in decent imported shows then bury them in graveyard slots where when your at college or work you can't watch them, really irritates me that does.

And I think a lot of their output is total crap, all that embarrassing bodies ad other garbage seriously who watches that?

And at times they over do things just to be controversial.

They do do some alternate theory stuff but for me its the channel that gets watched the least.

Yes Captain Needa. Stiglitz is right about the lack of protest but I've heard lots of people say that. He's great at noticing what has already happened. I couldn't care tuppence if he is a Nobel prize winner. He is boring and always telling us what he thinks of yesterdays news. He offers no great insight going forward.

He is only getting airtime and media attention because his visit is sponsored.

He is essentially a historian.

Ryan, do you not think he has a point about the Irish peoples lack of protest? I agree wholeheartedly that we have been completely screwed when it comes to the Banks and Bondholders. Not for the first time in Ireland the ordinary people suffer because of the cowardice of our politicians. This country continuously elects people, not on their merits, but because of their family ties to previous gobs****s. This is one of the reasons we suffer from lack of leadership. Why would any of them upset the apple cart when the whole political system in Ireland, is based on a form of nepotism.

Captain Needa

What do you mean by dodgy channel Mort, I thought it was a decent channel showing alternate theories i. e. Bigfoot Files was on recently

He also said recently that Irish citizens are not so much bailing out the Irish economy, they are bailing out foreign bondholders.

Well ok Joseph that is perfectly true, but it is also common knowledge in Ireland, much like most of the soundbites we hear from you.

Don't forget who he is a guest of. The Clinton Institute.

The bondholders were happy to make obscene amounts of money in the good times, but when Anglo failed the then Irish government rolled over pathetically and guaranteed the bonds. It was pathetic and hugely embarrassing for Irish people to witness the capitulation of Cowen & co.

So when the bondholders are making billions for themselves we're all capitalists, but if things go wrong socialism will cover their losses.

Pass me the sick bag.

Its a great idea but we'll never see it. I have zero confidence in the current labour party anyway. Think a lot of it could be unworkable.

All space travel requires are resources and unity of vision.
So by having the consent of a worlds population for using a planets resources and lack of global conflict, space travel should be easily achievable.

If that was the case on earth, we would be traveling the solar system by 1960 and near parts of the galaxy by 1980. That's without taking into account the suppression of science that took place in all the years leading to that date.

Here's a hypothetical scenario.
A parasitic species with hive mentality could be traveling the galaxy, moving from planet to planet, pillaging their resources and eradicating all native life forms.
When taking into account the variety of living organisms present on this planet alone, this scenario is highly likely.

To be fair BigRed, he was talking about what he felt the ECB and the EC thought of Ireland, when he said that. He did say he was surprised the Irish people didn't protest for bailing out the Banks and their bond holders.

Captain Needa

Thanks guys, maybe I sounded a bit naive in that post. I didn't mean to come across as if 'only one' can be right. Thanks for the replies, just another fellow human being in search of alternative answers to the important issues in life. I would rather listen to any of the above before I would listen to the usual television tripe. Not really bothered in which 'celeb' has had another baby (or bought one) or the usual nonsensical bull that the regular news comes out with.

Maybe Ed, it live in council accommodation and the rent an council a tax mounts up and services frankly are shocking for the money that's handed over, so I would be wary of them delivering.

But its a better idea than a near feudal tax system.

I've seen a few people in recent days calling for the renationalisation of the power companies in response to Ed's price freeze fiasco policy.

Bit of a laughable article really.

The Chinese are suddenly going to unleash trillions to end poverty and clean up the environment despite having one of the worst records on human rights and pollution of the top industrialised nations?

The UDS Military is suddenly going to get a huge boost in funding in order to protect endangered fish in return for arresting its own commander in chief?

As one of the comments at the bottom said I hope it was meant as satire.
