HI!

You have just entered room "panta98 Chat17."
CarlzimC has entered the room.
juttaschmi has entered the room.
juttaschmi:Hello Carl, Hi Franz!
panta98:Hi! Carl & Jutta!
CarlzimC:Hi, Franz&Jutta. Sorry I'm late.
juttaschmi:No problem, Carl. - Iris sends her greetings, she cannot participate tonight.
juttaschmi:She is in full preparation of her journey to Germany; she has to leave on Friday.
panta98:Never Mind! Where two or three meet in our name, we are in the midst of them.
CarlzimC:Please send my greetings to Iris.
juttaschmi:You can definitely say so, Franz! - Thank you, Carl. I will send your greetings to Iris.
CarlzimC: I checked ICQ. Nobody else online.
panta98:Stella is overloaded with University Work! And it is late and noisy in Mainz -- Carnival!!
juttaschmi:Also Stella won't participate. She is exhausted with her university work and also student jobs, that take almost all of her spare time available.
CarlzimC: I understand.
juttaschmi:About Sven, I don't know if he will make it. And Steve said he would join, but I don't see him on my list so far.
panta98:Anyhow, it does not matter, We, The Three Musketeers, could hold up the Pandemonium Flag!!!
CarlzimC:Aux armes cityoens!
juttaschmi:We will, Franz. Carl, by the way: thank you for your continuous, interesting postings. I enjoy reading them very much!
CarlzimC:Franz, please introduce tonight's topic.
juttaschmi:Franz, please proceed with tonight's topic.
CarlzimC: You are welcome, Jutta.

BRIEF  INTRODUCTION

panta98:Folks, today, I'll just make a short and sweet introduction.
juttaschmi:Fine with us, Franz.
panta98:Bearden touches a topic which is central for the development of the future fatherland, If we understood him correctly, then Bush & the USA have two years left to save mankind.
juttaschmi:According to Bearden, yes, Franz.
panta98:If not, then by 2007, goodbye Carnival, Mardi Gras, Rio, United Nations, $, President, Pentagon, Aliens, NASA, NATO, Illuminati, God, Man.
juttaschmi: So to speak!
panta98:We are heading for a total energetic, economic collapse. If he is "right", and there are very strong indications not to doubt his "prophecy", then, we really would have Popocatepetl under our "bums" very soon indeed.
panta98: Billions do not have a foggy idea of what is going on -- they are still celebrating Carnival on the sinking Titanic or Poseidon. And, even if you tell them what is on the order of the day, they'll just kaugh at you, and go on with their daily work and struggle.
juttaschmi:You may well express this so, Franz.
juttaschmi:"They fiddle, while Rome burns."
panta98:Probably, the offspring of the Illuminati are already cloned, and they are celebrating the 4th July fire-works in Space Settlements, awaiting the "blue planet" to turn ashy.
panta98:Today, we'll not go into the details of Bearden's Paper. This we will do next time, after all of you have read it. We are just going to discuss the topic in a general, generalized manner; to come into focus.
panta98:Well, folks, short and sweet today, what do you really think about the coming "Armageddon"?
CarlzimC:I think the Illuminati are divided on this issue.
juttaschmi:Okay, Franz. - Let me just read back again, and I will be "on track again" ...
panta98:Your comments, Jutta?
CarlzimC:Proceed, Jutta.
juttaschmi:What is clear is, that the "energy crisis" Bearden is talking about is just an appearance of another "crisis" on a global scale.
panta98:Which crisis, Jutta?
juttaschmi:You could even say, the whole system, the whole labour process, has been in a sort of a permanent "crisis".
CarlzimC:D'accord, Jutta
panta98:Agreed, Jutta.
juttaschmi: In terms of the system, the concept "crisis" is involved, whenever they want to suggest to the public, that something is not functioning "the way it should".
panta98:Explain further, please.
juttaschmi:Without ever mentioning, that "crisis" is just an intrinsic part of the system, just like war and devastation.
CarlzimC:One faction (The Armageddonites) wants to reduce the Earth's population to a controllable
1 billion.
juttaschmi: Economic depression, social havoc, wars, fascism - all these compose the necessary "counterpart" of "the welfare state, "peace", "democracy", etc.
panta98: Yes, Jutta.
juttaschmi:The "energy crisis" is, firstly, one of the expressions of the current shift in the system from the exploitation of physical to the exploitation of intellectual labour, which, certainly, will be based on a different type of energy.
juttaschmi:Secondly, the "energy crisis" is not "the root of all evil", but only a manifestation within the process.
CarlzimC:The other faction wants to change the institutions of Capitalism, and eliminate the things you mentioned to preserve existing humanity.
panta98:What different kind of energy, Jutta? And what would be the affects and effects on life on this planet as we know it -- as labour life?
juttaschmi:However, within the context of Bearden's explanation of the energy crisis and also taking into consideration the solution that he is bringing up, there is a very interesting thing I would like to point out: ...
CarlzimC:Proceed, Jutta
panta98:Yes, proceed.
juttaschmi: ... Bearden clearly shows, how energy "as we have known it" is based on DESTRUCTION, not on CONSTRUCTION.
juttaschmi:He explains, that just a little fraction of the electrical energy that actually is being "drawn" from any circuit, is being used, and that an incredible amount is being wasted.
panta98: Excellent definition of the essence of the world labour system, ab ovo ad armageddon!
panta98: And what is the system, and how it functions, tell you about the labouring animal, about man. He is not a creation of any extraterrestrial being: Labour created him, and he created Labour. But, please, continue ....
juttaschmi:He even shows, how the electrical power generating systems are self-destroying, meaning, that the generation of power or energy is a DOUBLE destructive process.
CarlzimC: Everything is being wasted, including the food we eat.
juttaschmi:Not only do they waste a huge amount of energy, but also the very devices that are being built to generate it, are waste generators.
CarlzimC:Everything is self-destructive.
panta98: That's  -- and always was -- the essence of goods, wares, merchandise, on the global market  -- they are produced not to last, not to satisfy human needs for a long time -- their own destruction is already built-in,  in their very production process. Man, as ware, as merchandise himself, is his own self-destructing process.
panta98: Man is not "a waste of time", he is a waste of cosmic energy. This is another way of saying that Labour, that He is exploiting Nature. As long as we do not tackle the problem at its very roots, as we do not become "radical", derived from radix, from root, we will not see any light, will never be enlightened.
juttaschmi:This is so "symptomatic" for the system, and also is an excellent example of what we have been discussing with regard to the labour-process, Carl and Franz.
CarlzimC: The system is waste.
juttaschmi:What is clear indeed, firstly, is that we have a "clue" that another "modus operandi" could also exist, that is not destructive, not self-destructive; and, secondly, that  the system has come to a point of no return, where even sources are being "invoked", that have nothing at all to do with the system itself anymore.
panta98:Yes, Carl, the New World Order is a dust-bin, a sewerage system, a waste paper basket.
Interesting observations, Jutta. This indicates a "radical" global, systemic change, but neither a palace nor an economic revolution, something totally different.
CarlzimC:Two USA statisticians proposed a system to eliminate all waste by bringing everything into statistical control. They represented the "good works" Illuminati faction.
panta98:We all live like rats in this quagmire, in this wonderful Global System. Carl, have those "statisticians" not yet learned that their very own "statistics" lie, that static "staticism" is part of labour waste, of human wastage?
juttaschmi:What Bearden does not know: The system will eliminate itself at the very moment when it has to introduce something really "strange", something "out of the system", something, that is not based on destruction.
panta98: Fascinating, Jutta. Explain this a little more, please.
juttaschmi:Carl, could you imagine what an effect "free energy" would actually have on the system? They could never ever allow "free energy" to be employed!
juttaschmi:The "market principle", that is, capitalist economy, simply cannot operate under such premises.
juttaschmi:Capitalism is not about "free energy" or "free anything".
juttaschmi:Much less, if this "free energy" has no market value, no exchange value whatsoever.
panta98: The only things "free" in this system are free exploitation, domination and discrimination. The power elite, previously called the "ruling class" or "imperialists",  will never allow "free energy" to become en vogue.
panta98 It will rather prefer to perish first, in order to sell its own corpse to the "Black Hole" of Hell, to its Matrix, in this case, to its Patrix, Labour. It will sell the very rope with which it is hanging itself.
panta98 The "Illuminati", whatever faction, are die-hards and make no dice, throw no
bones about profits.  Capital, Capitalism, Profits "illuminate" them, eliminate their way!
We saw the Via Crucis toward Rome, well, that royal road continues today, and it will end up,
at 9,980 degrees F, in the glowing Sun, in heavenly Golgotha.
CarlzimC:The "good works" Illuminati is developing a way to change Capitalism.
juttaschmi:"Goods", "services", etc., etc., are not being produced for their USE value in the first place, but for their "good" exchange value.
CarlzimC:That will change, Jutta, if the 'good works" faction wins.
juttaschmi:Now, capitalism based on "free energy", on "use value", would not be capitalism anymore, Carl. I don't know, what it would be.
panta98: Carl, you know that in the USA "the loser takes it all". Let's tell the "good" Illuminati to "keep the change"! Well, it seems to me that Capitalism does not serve the power elite anymore -- Poor Capitalism, like Feudalism before,  now it has even to believe in it, has to go down the drain!  So, what next? What do they have up their sleeve? Energetism??
CarlzimC: It wouldn't be capitalism.
juttaschmi:Good question, Franz. - And agreed, Carl, it would not be Capitalism anymore.
CarlzimC:Franz, a new system - no name.
juttaschmi:"Wastism" ?
juttaschmi:"Wasteism" ?
juttaschmi:"Self-Destructionism" ?
CarlzimC:A rapid deployment agency that satisfies global needs immediately will replace the UN.
panta98: So, so. Well, Carl. What then? What would follow? What could we expect from
50 millennia of "historic" experience with Labour, with Labouring Man? Something worse than Barbarism, Savagery, Slavery, Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism, Terrorism, Communism??
panta98:Was all that not already the limit? Oh, My God! Holy Smoke! We're in for something else!
CarlzimC:Franz, different ball game. None of these things.
juttaschmi:UD - "United Destructionism"
panta98:What's the name of the game, Carl?
juttaschmi: USD - United Self Destructionism, Franz.<
panta98: That "USD" sounds like the age-old "US $". What would be its quintessence -- its "Pudelskern"??
panta98:What do you think, Jutta?
CarlzimC:No name yet. The "good works" faction is starting to support emancipatory creativity.
panta98: United Self-Destructionism, that, it was all the way already! Lately, ever since the US launched the first "colonial revolution" against British Royal Feudalism, and made its own home-made "bourgeois-democratic revolution" against the South, this global self-destruction process had gained tremendous momentum and impetus.
juttaschmi:I think the "game" of the system is over, Franz. Nothing more "up its sleeve", let alone aces.
juttaschmi:(as, ases? or as, asses? or jack-asses?? )
CarlzimC: Internationalize all music, e.g., Arabic music that appeals to Westerners ...
CarlzimC: .... based on Arabic poetry
panta98: Carl, What? Emancipatory Creativity? When I said that in previous chats, Iris wanted to roast me alive! What do the Illuminati have up their sleeve? Now, they are systematically invading "emancipatory" music; making rhythmic "profits"? Do we not have enough "flex appeal" and "non-smoking" already?
juttaschmi:Carl, when talking about the "good works faction" of the Illuminati, what exactly do you mean?
CarlzimC: Some will join us, because they can't beat us.
panta98:Carl, since when do oil and water mix? We are very picky and choosy when it comes to our feathers that make excellent birdies.
CarlzimC: Good works - positive, creative faction.
panta98: Or worse even, do fire and water join? This sounds dialectical! It's a "contradiction"!
juttaschmi:What does the "good works faction" expect from the system in "the future", Carl?
panta98:I know there are water-works and fire-works, but "wafi-works", no!
CarlzimC:Oil, fire and water mix today. Negation and contradiction are passe.
juttaschmi:What is the result of this composition, Carl?
panta98:Yes, in the Mideast: All miracles come from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Golgotha! And, Carl, when Negation and Contradiction are passe, is not the system, the whole thing, passe? Is this not what we are saying, are talking about?
CarlzimC: Visit www.arabia.com   --  Entertainment (music) discussion.
panta98:Well, Carl, when Negation and Contradition are passe, then, at last, Superation, Neither-Nor is celebrating its Naissance!
CarlzimC:Yep, Franz.
panta98:Neither Water Nor Fire! Neither Power Nor Energy! Neither Christmas Nor Golgotha! Neither Moguls Nor Bums! Now, we are getting somewhere.
juttaschmi: I rather think the global holocaust is on the order of the day, Franz and Carl.
CarlzimC: Arabic music consists of Makems with different volumes, spaces and distances - lots of room for creativity.
juttaschmi:The system, if it is to "recover" somehow, has to enter a stage, where it comes near to self-annihilation.
juttaschmi:- I will have to check up my sound devices, Carl. Having trouble with my sound-card and configuration. When I have solved this, I will listen to Arab Music.
CarlzimC:Not necessarily so, Jutta, it can be changed by circumventing it.
CarlzimC:Jutta, I think you'll enjoy Arabic music. I have numerous CD's-Cheb Mami, Hakim, Ilham Al Madfai, Fairuz.
juttaschmi:- I definitely will have to get my sound system in order, Carl. I'm looking forward to listening to Arabic music.
panta98: Well, Global Holocaust is nothing new, Jutta & Carl. Labour is, always was, and will always be the real Fascist, Nazi Holocaust -- that what has been portrayed as Hell, Armageddon.
panta98: People just love the "holy cow", love to work, love to go to work; they have no alternative but to work; in Labour Pain, they work themselves to Death, toward Death, they serve a life-time sentence of Hard Labour. That is the Holocaust in which they live for millennia already, which they do not understand, for this they have to study political economy and economic politics.
panta98: For that they have no time, they have to work, have to go to work. They forgot what Jesus had said: "Man Does Not Live By Bread Alone!" After all, feelings, emotions, the heart, the soul, all these are important; thinking, theory, philosophy, these are for the mad, stray dogs, for crazy professors. This the sytem inculcated into billions of brains.
panta98: Their world, their consciousness, is so limited, so small. And they would deny this, even if you try very hard to explain this misery to them. What a man say? If this does not "change radically", forget about a "new system", about God, about the "Good Illuminati", about Emancipation!
juttaschmi:Carl, the fact, that there have been "population control plans" - and not only plans - for a long time shows, that the ruling classes of the globe have no illusion about the "sacrifice" the system has to make in order to survive.
panta98:Over 5 billion people are experiencing the holocaust everywhere, in Calcutta, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Watts, Accra, Bombay, Lagos, Maputo, etc. They don't care whether in 2007 Hell would come or not; they live in Hell for centuries already! The "Blacks" in South Africa have experienced a "black future" for over three centuries already.
juttaschmi:You do have a strong point there, Franz!
CarlzimC:There is opposition within the Illuminati vs. the population control agenda.
juttaschmi:For most dwellers of this planet, daily life is daily holocaust.
panta98:Many do not even know that they are in hell -- they have never ever experienced anything else in life, and never ever will. In fact, AIDS-infested, with all their skinny might, they even defend their MAD Holy Cow, their "hell", they give "revolutionaries", "missionaries", the "Red Cross",  "Amnesty  International", and the "UN Peace Troops" -- people  like "Che" or  "Mandela" --  a hell of a time.
juttaschmi:It is just a "quantitative step" for the system to proceed toward physical elimination of the Wretched of the Earth, Franz and Carl.
CarlzimC:Franz, do you think if Capitalism never existed, there would be no wretched? Hard to believe.
panta98: Yes, Jutta, a "reconciliatory, democratic" one, not a radical step. The Illuminati has no human feelings or emotions to quarrel about how many use-less wage-slaves or paupers they should  kill; over the millennia, they slaughtered millions and millions of "cattle" already. what is really their problem, Carl & Jutta?
juttaschmi:Only a "chosen few" will be able to survive and have access to the kind of "food", "air" and "water" that would still be available in a few years' time.
juttaschmi:It seems they really don't have any "problem" at all, Franz. On the contrary. The ruling classes never had that much of a problem. They just did what they deemed necessary, and didn't care about any "Wretched of the Earth".
CarlzimC: The "good works" faction thinks this will destroy the Illuminati too.
panta98: Carl, if labour, that is, alienation, was not generated, if Man, the labouring animal, was never born, then, there never ever would have been "wretched" living on this planet. The answer is as simple, and as simply true as all that! As long as man lives, there will be wretched on this globe. This is not formal logics, it's simple, simplified scientific identification.
juttaschmi:Labour is Destruction, which necessarily implies "wretched of the earth" - and these are not only "humans", but animals, plants, water, air, ground, all the "ingredients" that make up the planet.
CarlzimC:This world depopulation was supposed to happen in 1973 when the Yom Kippur in the Mideast was started to raise the price of oil to exorbitant amounts, then thereafter to spread and cause a world nuclear war. ...
CarlzimC:  ... But the world nuclear war didn't happen.
juttaschmi:They have more sophisticated means today, Carl, and better controllable: electromagnetic weaponry, which causes earthquakes, changes weather patterns and "induces" volcanic activity, etc.
CarlzimC:The weapons are not the issue.
juttaschmi:So they can easily go through with their extinction plans, with the whole "world" blaming Mother Nature.
panta98: Carl, how many people know this? And, how many would "believe" what you say? Who knows about HAARP and the MANHATTAN PROJECT? You see what I mean. Man himself is essentially "wretched"; either he is a wealthy "wretch" or he converts others into pauperized "wretched"; it's always: you or me! Never a contradiction: You and Me!
panta98: It's envy, greed, competition, accumulation, alienation, assassination, destruction -- since the days of Cain till Bush -- who bombarded Iraq the other day? The infinitesimal few exceptions just prove this global transhistoric "golden rule".
panta98: From Arabs who kill Israelis, till Israelis who kill Arabs, that is the Mideast Desert Tango!
juttaschmi: Point of no return, Franz.
juttaschmi: It is just that: destruction. We are not supposed to expect anything else from it.
juttaschmi: Carl, in how far are the weapons not the issue?
juttaschmi: Please explain.
CarlzimC: On www.arabia.com, that nasty stuff only exists in the political forums.
panta98:I'm following, please continue. ...
CarlzimC: Not in the music forums.
juttaschmi:Carl, please explain, in how far the weapons are not the issue - what you mentioned earlier.
CarlzimC:Jutta, the IIluminati have always been divided.
juttaschmi:Do you think mass extincion of the Wretched of the Earth will take place by other means?
panta98:Yes, Carl. "Carmen" and "Bizet" are beautiful; but what about the poor "bull" in the ring which they portray. Well, if that is music, then stop playing!
juttaschmi: If they win, would the "good works faction" of the Illuminati still be "Illuminati"?
CarlzimC: If the "good works" faction wins, no extinction by any means.
juttaschmi: What does the "good works faction" (short: GWF) advocate?
panta98: Carl, is that "good works" faction not an illusion; not divine, Christian wishful thinking?
panta98:Continuing, Carl. To be good in this world always had the precise connotation, to be good in grabbing, in lying, in being corrupt, in slaying, in being a national hero in Vietnam, etc. Since when does "good" have another connotation?
CarlzimC: Jutta, Preservation of world humanity by changing institutions.
CarlzimC: Unrelated to religion.
juttaschmi:Also, what is going to happen, I am afraid,  is not up to a faction of the ruling classes or of the Illuminati.
juttaschmi:Who is the "World Humanity", Carl?
juttaschmi:This is the decisive question: Who is the "World Humanity"?
CarlzimC:All people who live on this planet.
juttaschmi:I wish you were right, Carl.
juttaschmi:That is, what they make everybody "believe", Carl.
CarlzimC: Franz, I'm using "good" only so that readers of the chat transcript will understand it.
panta98:How many people really "lived", are living on this planet? Lived a "good life"? A couple thousands?
panta98:Or is that living what billions experience?
panta98:And is that "good"; and are they therefore, "good people"?
juttaschmi:I agree to your usage of the word "good", Carl, and also to Franz' "reminder" of the problematic it contains. See our previous chats. No problem.
CarlzimC:This faction thinks the "controllable 1 billion" cannot be controlled.
juttaschmi:To the billions, who do not know any other way of "living" than below the poverty line, it might just be "life", Franz.
CarlzimC:They are practical people - Know how the universe works.
panta98:Why not, Carl? Why are they out of order, out of control? And even the universe "works"? That's another ideological, everyday expression. I know that you used it deliberately.
Official Language really gives us the full "works"!
juttaschmi:Please continue to explain, Carl. The GWF thinks, the controllable 1 billion cannot be controlled. So, what is their conlusion?
juttaschmi:GWF - Good Works Faction
juttaschmi:And, Carl and Franz: What does "control" actually mean in this context?
CarlzimC:The GWF thinks the other faction is incorrect and nuts.
panta98:Well, Jutta, that is why they enjoy their beer, carnival, Good Friday, July 4th, Thanksgivings Day! Capitalist Halloween! Bread and Games! A method of control, of relieving them from their aggressive uncontrollable energy.
CarlzimC:That stuff is unrelated to GWF.
juttaschmi:I will enjoy a beer later tonight, Franz, and so join the Wretched of the Earth!! ;-)
juttaschmi:I return to my question: what does "control" exactly mean in this context?
panta98:One is only "nuts" when one does not make money! What does the GWF grow? Pea-Nuts like some US Presidents?
panta98: Or will they grow a beard, trying to oppose each other, to non-contradict themselves? They must live from something too, from what?
CarlzimC:Jutta, I'll enjoy Felafel, hummus and batlowa (baklava) and matte tonight. Enjoy the beer.
panta98:Yes, Jutta. What is "control"?
juttaschmi:I certainly will, Carl. - Is Falafel Arabic Food?
juttaschmi:Franz, "control" could consist of different levels ....
CarlzimC:Control = imposing your will on others.
CarlzimC:Felafel is Arabic and Israeli food.
juttaschmi:Exactly, Carl. One of the levels of control is imposing the "will" (or rules) of the ruling class on the Wretched of the Earth.
juttaschmi:- Felafel sounds marvellous, Carl.
panta98:Well, well, I have met very few people in 63 years who did not have this human quality, all across the globe, somebody tries to control someone; parents their children, husbands their wives, the boss his workers, the professor his students, etc.  Globally, and always, Control Is In! Will some GWF become chameleons, foxes, changing their colour and hair only?
CarlzimC:The Israelis and Palestinians eat Felafel in each other's restaurants. They fight, then eat Felafel together.
juttaschmi: Israelis and Palestinians remind me of the Merida students and the local police force, Carl. They exchange stones and teargas bombs, and at noon, they have lunch altogether.
CarlzimC:GWF are real. What you see is what you get.
CarlzimC:Culture, Jutta.
juttaschmi:That is what I call culture, Carl.
panta98:Yes Jutta, the culture of violence. Violence is human, is a social trait; it happened ever since the ancient Stone Age pygmies shot poisoned arrows at each other, and the Bushmen followed in the same venomous manner; today these weapons are just more highly, more  "technologically" developed; the brutal result is the same.
CarlzimC: On the Mideast chats, I'm being considered an outsider because I think like a Westener.
juttaschmi: Who were the tribes that would fight each other with bow and arrow, and, before nightfall, the enemy parties involved would sort out their arrows, hand them over to each other, exchange goodnight wishes and continue the fight the next morning?
CarlzimC:Franz, did the Bushmen and Pygmies eat lunch together?
panta98: Yes, Carl. Jutta, those were the original "natives" of Southern Africa. From the ancient Pygmies to the postmodern Bush-Men nothing has changed; I don't see how it will ever change in the labour world.
panta98:I have no illusions about this -- never mind reconciliation, democracy, and I don't know what else. ...
juttaschmi:They did, Carl. They sorted out their bows and arrows and the "enemies" wished each other good luck for the coming fight!
CarlzimC:Franz, today, such wars could lead to destruction of our planet.
juttaschmi:This is what I call real courtesy!!
panta98:Yes, Carl. Killing is a Human Sports -- and Human Sports is Human Killing!
juttaschmi:So now, we have Killing = Shopping = Sports!!
panta98: Carl, Men are warlike, are warriors, that is why they worry so much. Is the planet  not destroyed already, Carl? What is left of it?
CarlzimC:Arabic music focuses on preservation of the earth's natural environment - a return to nature
CarlzimC: Emancipatory.
juttaschmi:This sounds very interesting, Carl. How have you become aware of this? Is your Arabic advanced already?
panta98: Too late, Carl. But, better "too late" than "never'! In South West Africa, in the 20th Century, the Germans and Boers had a Sunday afternoon sports -- they went out, not Fox Hunting, but Bush-Men Hunting! We should continue that sportlike colonial tradition. Modern Fox and Bush Hunting!
juttaschmi:Does Arabic music also focus on capitalism?
CarlzimC:Visiting the sites - discussions and chats. Just started to leaarn Arabic.
juttaschmi: Vimcente Fox?
juttaschmi:Congratulations, Carl. I admire your dynamic spirit!!
panta98:Well, Jutta, you got the foxy message. Did you enjoy the "pun"!
juttaschmi: I did, Franz! Let's go fox hunting and look behind the bush for it!
CarlzimC: Not Capitalism -love, nature, passion, tragedy, joy.
panta98:Yeah!  Ex oriente lux: the Mideast is getting romantic: Thousand-And-One-Nights! Flying Carpets.
juttaschmi:Ain't no bush without a fox behind it.
panta98:No smoking without a Spitfire!
juttaschmi:Ain't no Fox beatin' around the bush, Franz!
CarlzimC: Islamic banking with Mudarabah forbids interest-loans based on projected future success, not credit rading.
panta98:That's the problem, the GWF beat too much around the Bush.
juttaschmi:Carl, do the young Arabic singers have sort of a "global vision" about what is going on?
CarlzimC: Turkey is an exception - Western Capitalist banking.
juttaschmi:- Ain't no use beating around the bush, Franz. That way, you will never hit it! -
panta98Agreed, Jutta. I'm following, Carl.
juttaschmi :How do the banks work without interest, Carl?
juttaschmi:That is the very "raison d'étre" of a bank.
CarlzimC: Islamic bank just breaks even - They think they will rewarded in Heaven.
juttaschmi:Wow! That is not, what I understand by the concept "bank", Carl.
CarlzimC:Yes, Franz, but most Arabic singers don't get involved in politics-They work with Jews, North and South Americans, Europeans, etc.
panta98:Now, in this context, coming back to the "Bearden" prophecy, does he have his data straight? Are we heading towards a world economic collapse within 5 years?
panta98:Are there indications, signs on the wall?
juttaschmi:With or without "energy crisis", the world economic collapse will come, Franz.
panta98:Why, Jutta? Why now?
juttaschmi:- Progressive fall of the profit rates, progressive monopolization of capital - the economic collapse is "around the corneer".
panta98:I see, Carl. But, not to be politically conscious, they will run into the open fire of the Mideast Armageddon.
CarlzimC:There are variations - Murabaha bank buys equipment at cost, and user pays back at higher cost.
juttaschmi:They lend money without interest and think they will be rewarded in Heaven! Not even the Vatican can compare with the Arabic banks then!
CarlzimC:They're politically conscious but they think politics hampers their creativity
panta98:Yes, Jutta, the Bank of Ambrosia does not make charity bargains with the Mafia. Anyhow, folks, the Soviet Union collapsed like a huge bag of rotten potatoes, just like that, suddenly and swiftly. I wonder what a fall it would be my country(wo)men when one "good" morning I wake up, and the United Brutality Association overnight has crashed like a wounded, old elephant bull. Strange things happen on this planet, like bolts from the blue, when least expected.
CarlzimC:The Arabic banks may thrive when world Capitalism ends.
juttaschmi:I'd rather have another couple of quiet, serene nights and days, Franz.
CarlzimC: Franz, ... and is transofmed into another system.
juttaschmi:Probably so, Carl. - If there is another system "left" by then.
panta98:Carl, Banking is the handmaiden of Capitalism; the Wedding March, accompanied by Arabic Music, would continue; at least, that Nostradamus foretold!
CarlzimC:Capitalism survived because it overcame its contradictions.
juttaschmi:Capitalism survived because it consists of contradictions.
CarlzimC: It may undergo drastic transformation to survive in some form.
panta98:Well, then it survived its own Death! What a Horror that would follow!
juttaschmi:Correctly so, Franz! - Agreed, Carl.
panta98: Like a Galactic Dracula, A Chinese Dragon! Poor clones, alphas and omegas!
juttaschmi:It might survive "in some form" for another while.
juttaschmi:Dracula - what an appropriate picture of capitalism,, Franz.
panta98: With Dracula, Capitalism portrayed its own future: a living dead, a deadly living!
CarlzimC: Excuse me folks, I need to pick up Fran at bus stop. I'll return soon
panta98: Thanks to Bram Stoker, at least, he stoked the fire, and still produced some smoke, smoking!

Bye! Laila Tiaba!

juttaschmi: Gentlemen, my "energy", although "free", is weakening...
panta98:OK! Carl. We'll read Bearden, and continue next week.
juttaschmi:.. we will continue next time.
panta98:OK! Carl. Greetings to Fran!
juttaschmi:OK, Carl. Send our regards to Fran, please.
panta98:See you next week!
juttaschmi:Goodnight. I enjoyed the chat.
panta98:Totsiens!
panta98:Auf Wiedersehen!
juttaschmi:Totsiens, Franz.
panta98:Hasta la Vista!
CarlzimC: Laila Tiaba!
