Days of Christmas or if you prefer, 22 days of ADVENT.
Is this one of your Christmas Rings?
here
is the LINK
for the song.
If
we observe last weeks perspective from here, we are unendingly
grateful for the food the song sings about, especially the French
Version. Seems when in English, there is an emphasis on STUFF,
rather than Stuffing. Here would be that version:
“In
the west of France the piece is known as a song, "La Foi de la
loi," and is sung "avec solennité," the sequence
being: a good stuffing without bones, two breasts of veal, three
joints of beef, four pigs' trotters, five legs of mutton, six
partridges with cabbage, seven spitted rabbits, eight plates of
salad, nine dishes for a chapter of canons, ten full casks, eleven
beautiful full-breasted maidens, and twelve musketeers with their
swords “

You
must admit they like their food. Now the English version costs about
5% more this year, but with food inflation running about 10-15% in
the developed world, we still can obtain food.
I
think no one realizes how fast a severe debacle could be upon is,
with the FED buying US Debt, essentially printing “funny money”
as fast as they can, just like the Russians printing planeloads of
Syrian Pounds as fast as their presses could run. What no one
accepts is that Cost-Driven-Inflation will overcome us like a
Tsunami, because they think there is NO pressure on prices, from a
bad economy. Our Grocery Stores tell a different story, completely
in line with what I am saying here. When Ernest Hemingway was asked
how he went broke, he said:
“Slowly
at first, but then it came very fast.”, and thus IMO, this is will
be no different.

that what WE DO will be crucial, visit this site

Since
those other nasty members of the human race, BANKSTERS, have elected
to screw young and old alike, it may be up to us to set the example.
Buying $1,000 of someones debt for $50 seems poetic justice for
predatory lending practices foisted on the young and unwary and
needy. Tithing never seemed so right to me. Now since this screwing
is a two way sword, with savers and pensioners getting hammered as
well, it may be up to us to think of a fair way to turn that around
as well. Are we that innovative? Well if the BANKSTERS can think up
all these complicated ways to screw the people at large, I think
someone amongst us will come up with a SIMPLE way to right this
boat.........That is my hope.
I
will be making a half price offer on the blog. I will charge a new
subscriber HALF PRICE for his or her First Month, $18.98, and donate
my NET PROCEEDS to Rolling Jubilee, minus what Pay Pal Charges me.
For Coin rings, if you wish one, I will donate 10% of my sales in
December to Rolling Jubilee. Its what I can do.......
Thank
you for reading this........DG
