By  David Craig, on October 7th, 2011 Last night “Liar” Obama must have had millions of Americans wanting to vomit at the President’s dishonesty and hypocrisy. Answering a question about why no bankers had gone to prison “Liar” Obama claimed that while many bankers had been greedy and immoral, none had broken the law. This, of course, is a pack of lies. Bankers were guilty of fraud, false accounting, obtaining money by deception and many other offences. So why have none been indicted? Because as the 2012 election approaches, “Liar” Obama needs lots of money to save his job. And where’s the best place to get money? From banks.
“Liar” Obama doesn’t give flying f–k about ordinary Americans and their financial problems. All he wants is to keep his job. If that means grovelling to the bankers – that’s ok for “Liar” Obama.
By David Craig, on October 6th, 2011 The Hollywood Boulevard branch of Budget rented me a car with the metal on both front tires cutting through the rubber. Had I driven the car any further, my wife and I would probably have been seriously injured or died in a blow-out.
When I noticed the defect, Budget refused to pay for the tires to be changed and tried to get me to drive over three hours to one of their suppliers’ depots to have the tires checked. They would rather I died in a blowout than pay for new tires. So beware if renting from Budget – as they try to make more money they’re not checking their cars properly and don’t care if customers die as long as they can cut a few corners and save a bit of money.
By David Craig, on October 6th, 2011 Our euroleaders have once again proved to be greedy, incompetent, bungling fools and the world is heading for a massive recession thanks to the completely and utterly bankrupt PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain). There is only one solution. German, Dutch, Swedish and other eurozone taxpayers are about to get thoroughly bilked as their leaders waste most of their money to bail out the corrupt, overspent PIIGS. But most of the cash will come from Germany.
So come on Fritz, stop squealing like a skewered pig and hand over all your money to the profligate, overborrowed PIIGS just like Muttonhead Merkel wants. Oh and by the way Fritz, could you please work a bit harder and pay some more taxes because the PIIGS have absolutely no intention of changing their dissolute ways now that you’re stupid enough to bail them out.
By David Craig, on October 4th, 2011 Here in the US, politicians are up to the same tricks as in Britain – claiming they are paid very little while stuffing hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money into their unbelievably generous pensions. State politicians in the US have just hugely increased their pensions by linking them to those of a senior judge even though state politicians often work for less than three months a year. In Britain, our MPs “work” for almost 8 months a year yet their pension is so wonderful that you or I would have to put over £55,000 a year into our pension savings to get the same pension as our MP.
It’s the same the whole world over – politicians are lying, greedy thieves linng their pockets with our money and living a life of luxury that most of can probably hardly even imagine.
By David Craig, on September 30th, 2011 The USA has many faults. But too often these blind us to its achievements. Tens of millions fled poverty, corruption, oppression and religious intolerance to move to America. For most, this was the best decision they ever made. The USA managed to avoid the corruption, appalling leadership and concentration of wealth in the hands of a few families which we see in all Latin American countries. It managed to avoid the religious intolerance, backwardness and continuous tribal warfare which has meant Arab countries have not advanced in the last five hundred years. It managed to avoid the putrid kleptocracy, incompetent government and rotten social structures of African countries. And it managed to avoid the destruction of democracy by a self-serving bureaucratic ruling class which has allowed the EU to take over Europe.
So while there is much to criticise in the USA, at least it is not a joke like Italy, Greece, Spain and Latin America; at least it isn’t living in the Dark Ages like most Arab countries, at least it is not a basket case like most of Africa and at least there is still some democracy unlike Europe. And maybe those of us still stuck in Latin, Arab, African and European countries are just a little bit envious that the US has achieved a better life for most of its citizens than our own countries.
By David Craig, on September 28th, 2011 Our lying greedy leaders huff and puff about how we must all pull together and help Greece. But Greece is bankrupt. In fact Greece was bankrupt even before it entered the eurozone. Greece only got in by fiddling its figures with the expensive help of Goldman Sachs. As usual the country we’re really bailing out is France. It’s French banks that hold most of the now worthless loans made to Greece. As usual, France gets EU taxpayers to give it huge amounts of their money. Just like the Common Agricultural Policy, the European bailout fund is a way for our leaders to take our money and give it to France.
And the Germans, as usual, do exactly what the pompous, self-important, lazy corrupt French tell them to do. Anyway, Germans banks also have huge amounts of Greek debt so they too are hungry for money from Europe’s stupid, long-suffering taxpayers – people like you and me.
By David Craig, on September 26th, 2011 Most tourist attractions are overhyped and immensely underwhelming when you visit them. Not so the Niagara Falls. Of course, the Falls are surrounded by all the usual tourist crap. But the Falls themselves are magnificent, awe-inspiring, breathtaking. Three musts for your visit: 1. View the Falls from both the US and Canadian sides. 2. Take the Maid of the Mist boat trip. 3. Do the Walk Behind the Falls.
The Niagara Falls are stunning – see them before you die.
By David Craig, on September 23rd, 2011 America may be in recession. There may be over 40 million unemployed. But here in Washington DC you wouldn’t think there was anything wrong. The $1,000 to $2,000 a night hotels are packed full. The expensive restaurants are overflowing and turning customers away. The money is flowing like water during a biblical flood. Why? Because here almost everyone is being paid using taxpayers’ money. Here taxpayers foot the luxury hotel bills. Here taxpayers pay for the expensive meals and vintage wines. Here everything is chargeable to American taxpayers.
Over 100 years ago an American president warned that people in the Washington village partying with taxpayers’ money can forget what life is like for ordinary Americans. So here’s a message for ordinary Americans – Mr Obama and all the politicians and bureaucrats here in wasteful Washington don’t give a flying f–k about you. They’re only interested in furthering their own careers and filling their own pockets with taxpayers’ money.
By David Craig, on September 22nd, 2011 Slimey Simon Cowell’s supposed talent show the “fiX-Factor” has just started in the USA. Appropriately enough it’s on one of Uncle Rupert Murdoch’s TV channels. Rupert Murdoch is one man you can trust to bring honest TV, isn’t he? The fiX-Factor’s US formula is just the same as in Britain. First there are a couple of good acts; then come the fools and the freaks and then the show ends with someone who has a terrible sad story to tell about their pointless life and how they have overcome trials and tribulations to come on the show. There is also carefully manufactured “conflict” between Simon and the other male judge. Meanwhile the two female judges are reduced to teary admiration at the “good” acts and wide-eyed shock at the freaks.
But best of all (for Slimey) the Americans are so stupid that they don’t realise that the whole thing is probably a fix. Yipee! billions more into Slimey Simon’s bank account. If only he paid British tax on his rapidly increasing fortune then our national debt would be wiped out after just a few US fiX-Factor series.
By David Craig, on September 20th, 2011 Our lying PM David Liar Cameron claims “we’re all in this together”. But what about Britain’s worst banker Fred Goodwin. With his £350,000 a year pension which we all pay for, he doesn’t quite seem to be suffering quite as much from austerity as the rest of us. And why hasn’t Liar Cameron set the police on to Fred Goodwin. After all, there’s a quite convincing case for prosecution on charges such as false accounting, fraud, and obtaining money by deception.
In about 2006, I reported Fred Goodwin to the Serious Fraud Office and The Bank of England alleging that he was guilty of defrauding those who had money in the BCCI. Of course no action was taken. Fred Goodwin was a mate of Brown and Blair so he was protected. Like Cameron, Goodwin is part of a corrupt ruling elite who look after their own and give each other almost unlimited quantities of our money. So work hard and pay your taxes because Fred Goodwin wants your money.
