Neutrino Money

Other European nations are telling Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain what to do - although it won't be long before they form a Monk's Circle. The US and UK are telling all the Europeans what to do and the Chinese are telling everyone what to do - as in "Culturally, you need to change your way of living and change your way of spending” - to what? Military enterprises is what.

A truly enterprising US military can go a long way towards saving the American tax-payer $698,105,000,000 a year. Once corporatized as Army Inc., Air Force Pty. or Navy Plc. and monetised by the selling of shares on the open market the income can be used to pay-down Sovereign Debt. Rather than be inefficiently run by elected politicians and appointed uniformed career apparatchiks these Military enterprises will then be guided by the prevailing Free-market conditions, driven solely by the profit motive and answerable to their stockholders. Sponsorship, Branding Rights, Product Placement and Transfer Fees would add to the cash flow. This would also provide a lot more clarity as to the real objective of their business activities. Sadly, in the present economic circumstances, China would end up owning most of the US Army, Navy and Air Force - and possibly the Italian ones as well.

It stretches the imagination to assume that the present fiscal reality is just a special case within an immutable, if somewhat increasingly nebulous, Economic Theory. Meanwhile none of those tasked with our financial survival can fix their own problems, never mind anyone else's, trapped as they are with a doctrine that demands few, if any, rules. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results leads, as Einstein remarked, to insanity - and, in this case, economic melt-down. Kant introduced the analytic-synthetic distinction, in which mathematical proofs are synthetic rather than real. This applies equally to the present concept of money which is about as synthetic as it gets

.

Europe needs between two to four trillion synthetic Euros or, as it might now be more reasonably described, "Neutrino Money". The issue seems to be who is going to synthetise them. The European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund would appear unable to dig up someone willing to wave the magic financial wand.  Any solution involves existing money changing hands and all three letter acronyms don't have any of that available - enter CERN. By abandoning the Euro and embracing the Neutrino as the European currency money can be everywhere it is needed before anyone even knows there isn't any.

 "A Teller says "How much do you want". A neutrino walks into a bank".

This is only possible since the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy claimed to have measured particles travelling faster than light - Neutrinos from CERN are arriving 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light allows. This is important if true - to the unwritten, unpublished and un-peer-reviewed theory that Einstein was wrong and for the past 100 years physicists have had their heads up their asses. This theory (The Fuck Spacetime Theory) is based on the fact that nobody understands the present one and anyway it doesn't work. So QED it is wrong. If there are particles hurtling around Space faster than light then they are outside of Time and can be everywhere in the universe all at once in no time at all - at least to us. This explains the the need for physicists trapped in Einstein's Relativity Shtick to invent extra dimensions and universes in an attempt to get around the blindingly-obvious incompatibilities with Quantum Mechanics.

When pondering "entanglement" of particles one might be excused for thinking that information is crossing the universe faster than light - this could also help in explaining Dark Matter and Dark Energy. When brought, in postprandial conversation, to the attention of assorted university professors, PhDs and others trapped within the mind-binding constraints of Academia, and the Standard Model, this thought experiment is described as full of shit and that an elegant solution to the meaning of everything is at hand - without anything going faster than light.

If so "Where the fuck is Gravity then?"

Events, Dear boy, Events

It is indeed a sad indictment of the English underclass that they lack sufficient cultural sophistication to loot anything worthwhile. A stark indication of how badly the education system and prevailing economic model have failed to influence them - not least in explaining the risk/reward paradigm. This particular missing ingredient could well be instilled into the great unwashed by opening up a "Herman Goering School of Looting" in each of the more deprived metropolitan areas where a better understanding of proper English cultural values can be ingrained - leading to a, culturally attuned, economically sound, better class of looter This would be balanced by opening the "Mrs. Beeton School of Riot Control" in Chipping Norton to train police officers to inflict etiquette at the end of a baton round or water cannon. All done in the best possible taste.

Doing 6 months as a guest of Her Majesty for a bottle of water from Lidl as opposed to a Rembrandt or a Constable from the Tate illustrates a distinct absence of grasp of simple capitalist theory and belies the national cultural traditions so enshrined in being English. Rather than torching a Bangladeshi corner store for a packet of cigarettes a rampage through the National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Opera House, Eton, Harrow, Barbour or Berry Bros & Rudd would demonstrate a better understanding of the true cultural priorities pervading the nation and possibly avoid the accusations of being simply dishonest, violent, unscrupulous and lawless, criminal, feral louts.  How about a bulldozer through the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as a demonstration of ennui?

The Iraqis successfully looted their Museums and Art Galleries - why not the English? If this example is to be met what is missing is the presence of US troops on the streets of London. Fortunately the Prime Minister is looking to the USA for help in dealing with the illegal redistribution of athletic apparel and electrical appliances - it seems unlikely that US advice would protect museums and galleries. Colonel Blimps are already demanding troops on the streets, vigilante justice, public nakedness for anyone who isn't white and the death penalty for those socially inferior. All good Victorian values suited to an unequal society in which a bottle of wine or a waxed coat can cost more than a week's wages - if you get a weekly wage that is.

I find it confusing that the Prime Minister wants to take the streets back - which streets? Does he mean the streets where the untermenschen live or the ones where they like to go free-shopping. Seeing as nobody even wants to visit the streets where they live it seems unlikely that anybody actually wants them back. Putting them there was the whole point in the first place. Which makes a policy of tossing them out of their homes for rioting somewhat problematic. Where do they go? In the good old days they were sent to Australia. As that option is no longer available then under a railway bridge looks like the best location for hundreds of newly homeless convicts. They'll also have no money. Good plan, eh! Ringed by armed police teaching them the proper etiquette by pulling their hoody off while standing on their neck - a law enforcement technique taught at the Mrs Beeton School of Riot Control.

These police may have more hoodies to pull than they bargained for - as the whole country appears to be running out of money and could do so rather quickly given the present economic malaise. At which time the recent disturbances will seem somewhat low-keyed. By then Herman Goering's other unpleasant proclivities will be more like the government's chosen policy than his example to looters.

Pip, Pip.
