Ah well you see, I came at it backward...Hey Slozo,<br /><br />Ah well you see, I came at it backwards.<br /><br />It all started with Kurosawa's Ran (乱 = chaos, disorder). I recall a conversation with a fellow in China who said that in Chinese this was same but pronounced 'luan'. But I knew that the Japanese character would be different to the Chinese character so I went to babelfish.com and entered 'chaos'. This gave me 混亂. This kind of pissed me off since I just wanted one character and clearly the character that was related to the Japanese one was the latter. So I entered that by itself into babelfish and the English it gave me was 'chaotic'. Good enough for me!<br /><br />As for the calligraphy, I obtained that from google images by searching for the aforementioned 亂 +書法 which is 'calligraphy' sure enough. Whilst I'm happy to stand corrected I suspect I'm not far off the mark. Oh wait, I just realised I was using traditional characters! Urgh! I should have used simplified! Maybe that's where I went wrong?<br /><br />---<br /><br />Back again! The simplified Chinese character is the same as the Japanese. Subsequently I've redone it all. Hopefully that should make your missus happy.nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-61758542817668940132009-05-18T01:12:00.000+10:002009-05-18T01:12:00.000+10:00More Additions and addendums:

Or maybe Penny could fashion us some new garments since she is so anti spandex. Fat cyclists and bulging sausages indeed! Have you considered the other possibility that maybe they fit like well washed tights on a ninety year old lady who hasn’t enough on her bones to fill them out, Ugh, ugh!! I do jest. <br /><br />Doug, how perceptive of you to realise I was an ex pat. Originally I came over here for work and then for the women – well one in particular. Normally I don’t concern myself with such fascist rags as the FT; hmm Jersey and Lux going broke huh, I will have to get my hoard out to the Cayman Islands pronto. <br /><br />I live on the other side of our little country, in the Schelderland. Maybe we should meet for a beer sometime but since the car ditched me at the time I was getting interested in eco footprints and I did nothing about it, it would have to be somewhere on the NMBS system since I have a Belgian rail pass of sorts. <br /><br />I will agree with Penny’s statement that just when you think you know what is going on….. I overlooked that link the first time around, my, it expands like a family tree and I don’t have the time to give it right now but I will look into it, thanks. You put up some interesting thoughts there, Maybe John Paul l was anti usury; there is something he may have had in common with the Shiites. And murdering a pope and murdering a pres, It has been said that Kennedy was about to abolish the Fed and Lincoln had introduced his green back dollars in competition to the National bank dollars. Religion or no, it all goes about money. There is one thing that the pope has though that the international bankers are aspiring to and that is globalism not withstanding that the Catholic Church is losing a bit of traction at the moment. Here is a free e – book which may interest you. I haven’t read it although it looks quite good and to the point.<br /><br />http://www.scribd.com/doc/4751159/The-Broken-Cross-the-Hidden-Hand-in-the-Vatican-by-Piers-Compton<br /><br />Yes, interrelating actors in a play but the Vatican is not in the lead role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-90333217883960236942009-05-17T11:10:00.000+10:002009-05-17T11:10:00.000+10:00No Pen, I don't dismiss the Vatican.

With the IMF, the World Bank, and the various reserve banks of the world emphatically not in Vatican hands, how powerful can they be? And it's curious that you view the assassination of a pope as an indicator of the power of the vatican. Frankly it works better the other way round, as an indicator of the weakness of it. Honestly, if a mafia clan's leader was shot you wouldn't then go on to think, 'Well, they must be the most powerful family', would you?<br /><br />Anyone's best guess would have to be that he was assassinated because he wouldn't play ball. With whom? His own church? Then why would they vote him in to begin with?

Otherwise, yep to all of that.<br /><br />As for 'happy', it's a question ain't it? What do these people 'feel'? Perhaps 'feel' is the wrong word. Do people who are completely and utterly self absorbed, feel things? It occurs to me that they wouldn't be so far removed from whatever is that's in the heads of two year olds, ie. the world revolves around them and the only way of dealing with things is by way of a tantrum, albeit a sophisticated one.

The three city states doff their respective hats to the so called 13 families and don’t forget to throw in the European royalty too. And there is also a hierarchy amongst these.

And red underpants is it? Very good. The important thing is to wear them on the outside of your trousers.<br /><br />And wh00ps, it goes back ages. I'm a hardcore Patrick O'Brian fan and all those stories are set in Georgian England. What with the hero, Jack Aubrey, being perpetually chased by tipstaffs and bailiffs O'Brian goes into the various duchies and territories within London. In certain parts of London the tipstaffs had no jurisdiction. Merely crossing the road could sometimes be a big mistake.<br /><br />And I still think the Vatican is an also-ran in the banking caper. Do they deal with London and Washington? Sure of course. But I have all three of those down as capos to International banking's godfather. And Washington is the Vatican's standover man? Good God, I'm surprised Washington has time left over after what with being such a busy servant of international banking (and Israel, sure enough).<br /><br />Otherwise, that there are sources out there saying that 'it's all the Vatican' should come as no surprise. Me, I'd put it in the 'well of course' basket. Given the time and energy put into disappearing private ownership of the fed, and of international banking generally, of course there'd be people out there saying we should look elsewhere. In reading this stuff, I'd be doing so with a salt cellar close at hand. As Lauren Bacall said, "You know how to take it with a grain of salt, don't you?

Although the former two keep a deliberately low profile, Washington appears to be the Vatican’s bouncer. <br /><br />Anyway, for Penny and whOOps here are a couple of links to follow up on. Although both of them are good articles they both have bits that are best overlooked. The first’s treatment of the population problem is childish in the extreme but the rest is good especially his argument of non compliance. <br /><br />http://1984usa.com/higherlearning/?p=1417<br /><br />The next is Will Thomas online asking “Does the Vatican Hold Your Mortgage”. If you take his imaginary friend Hank with a pinch of salt and Hanks Jesuit friend who spilled the beans on his life’s work in exchange for having a flat tyre changed, what he actually has to say is interesting although I must warn you it is an epic read. <br /><br />http://willthomasonline.net/willthomasonline/Vatican_Mortgage_Part_1.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-78843815091721547292009-05-16T03:23:00.000+10:002009-05-16T03:23:00.000+10:00'Scroogling' Maybe ;) Well, cheers anyway, I'll ge...'Scroogling' Maybe ;) Well, cheers anyway, I'll get on it.

There's no such thing as a Hollywood movie that isn't.<br /><br />No, all I said is that, best I can make out, the Wachowski's don't seem to be Jewish. I say this on account of the fact that I couldn't find a single Wachowoski anywhere on the net with any connection to anything Jewish. One method I use is to search for a given name +funeral. The funeral notice will tell you where the service took place. And all I found was catholic churches. If anyone else wants to give it a burl, go for it.<br /><br />Otherwise Pen, I heard all that stuff before - jesuits, the Vatican etc. etc. But you know me, I have the media pegged as the key partner in all this wickedness. None of these wars and depressions and all of that could take place if the media was what it says it is, ie. some kind of corruption busting truth machine. And there's no way the media is in the hands of anyone but Jewish people. Otherwise the biggest game in town is control of the money supply via the world's Reserve Banks. Nothing is even close, not arms, not pharmaceuticals, not oil, not nothing. And you're not going to tell me that the Vatican controls that are you?<br /><br />I hold no brief for the Catholic church - I'm about as 'ex' and an ex-Catholic gets. And nor am I sticking up for them by saying that they're also-rans. I fail to see them exerting their power anywhere. God knows the media heaps shit on them relentlessly. Not that they don't deserve it but with the people who run the Reserve Banks of the world getting off scot-free, I think our energies are better spent pointed elsewhere.<br /><br />And hullo wh00ps.

dunno about all this stuff exactly, ...hey nobody! <br /><br />dunno about all this stuff exactly, and i mean who really does, except for those involved, and even then how much do they know, I mean of the entire picture.<br /><br /><br />I got thinking of another angle regarding the bank of London, vs Vatican banks?<br /><br />How about all the stuff available on the alleged Jesuit conspiracies, and how this all ties in to the catholic church.<br /><br />How allegedly the jesuits run the show, black popes and all that stuff.<br /><br />I have heard that before too.<br /><br />So maybe there is more to the vatican banks then we know, and then maybe there is nothing to them.<br /><br />Or then maybe it is all bullshit to keep us chasing our tails?<br /><br />gogwomni, what an interesting wordPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834513101685995010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-19506059714962041652009-05-14T19:25:00.000+10:002009-05-14T19:25:00.000+10:00MATRIX not made by Jews?

They say Julius Caesar was the Best in the West when it came to that. He pardoned his political prisoners with huge fanfare and publicity then had them quietly followed ever after. They probably led him to enough saps to work all the mines in Sicily.<br /><br />Plus, when Caesar died, his heirs wisely made their OWN Matrix and called it Christianity... but you know all about that one. I like Neo better, but then I'm a 20th Century sort of dude.Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456268028429888846noreply@blogger.com
