money DOES come from nothing. The Federal Reserve prints hundreds of billions' worth of bills every year. Where is the backing for all that currency? Book entries in the five biggest banks in Europe. The US Dollar is a debt note. Literally, not worth the paper it's printed on.
Same as sovereign debt. It's not a trade in commodity, it's book entries to advance credit. When a state defaults on that debt, it is converted into asset stripping and the real value of a country is diminished as the bank now owns it. What did the bank do to actually deserve that? Absolutely NOTHING.
Where did this money come from in the first place??
I have a theory that I'm working on, that basically it never existed, it was not even a loan. It was just a bank advancing credit, same as what they do when they create a mortgage debt. It's nothing more than a book entry. If the client defaults on that mortgage, the bank isn't out anything but the penalty for defaulting on the credit agreement for the client is invariably life changing: the bank seizes his home. The client is out his entire life, the bank now owns everything.
Now scale that up: a bank advances credit to a country, the country defaults on that credit. The bank can now seize whatever it likes to satisfy the debt IT created. Agricultural land, developments, private deposit accounts... No money changed hands AT ANY POINT. The country stands to lose everything, the banks stands to gain EVERYTHING. The only winners here, whichever way you look at it and regardless of scale, ARE THE BANKS.
(and somehow if you're a bank this shit is legal. If I, as an individual, tried it, I'd be in jail for racketeering).
it's not a case of what I believe, the age of consent according to Prefecture Law is 18 - and I've already not only linked it, I've directly cited it. The girl was apparently 17. THE ONLY MITIGATING FACTOR in Prefecture Law is parental consent to the relationship. Unless the parents are pimping the girl out, tell me please just how to any right minded person can in any way consider that a lawful relationship?
And it is settled case Law in the UK that a CHILD cannot consent to sex. It is also Statutory Law that a CHILD cannot consent to a contract.
(by "cannot" in English Law, read: "is prohibited by technicality of Law, not of some random person's opinion").
A fifteen year old girl in the UK cannot legally consent to sex. On her sixteenth birthday, she can have a row of cocks lined up and play them like a performing seal. By virtue of a tick on a clock read against what it says on her birth certificate, a man can go from dirty filthy bastard who needs to burn to death, to wow what a stud scored a schoolgirl.
now you're beginning to understand how con-merchants and paedophiles work. They insinuate themselves into positions of trust with promises of oranges and sunshine (to borrow from the Transported Children scandal). Once there, they operate in plain sight with the full support and blessing of the community who, by now utterly blind to the abuse they're being put through... well, it's like boiling frogs while you empty their wallets and fuck their babies.
it's not so much the fear of that happening, the oil industry themselves admit that every single borehole on the planet, no matter where it is or how carefully it's sealed, *leaks*.
No, the concern is that we're not being told what's in the soup. We can guess, going by what's been seen rolling onto the sites (hydrochloric acid is one chemical often cited), but that's all we can do. If the public knew for sure what's being pumped in, I'm fairly certain that there would be blood spilled.
depends on how high a clearance you're going for. For general civil service stuff in the UK, you'll have a criminal background (unspent convictions) check done. For top tier stuff - TOP SECRET, or coded material, or code I nuclear material, for example - you're looking at enhanced criminal backgrounds (arrests as well as spent and unspent convictions), records of civil judgements (including traffic tickets), MI5 records, credit checks and detailed personal financial audit for as far back as they feel like, work history from the day you left school, attendance and other records at school, right down to what age you started walking - oh, and your entire medical history. They will go through your entire life with a fine toothed comb and they will interrogate the shit out of you. And THEN, they will put you through the psych evaluation, right when you're REALLY stressed.
For TOP SECRET clearance, they will put you through this bullshit every seven years.
Been there. Still bound by the Official Secrets Act.
what a dumb question. Linked social security numbers for every UK resident are in the wild after the Child Benefit Database was "stolen" a few weeks ago.
of course it was non-consensual, minors cannot legally give consent, not even for money, in Japan where Prefecture Law trumps Federal Law and sets the age of consent at 18!
point 1: a child CANNOT legally give consent. point 2: absent consent, sex with a minor is RAPE. point 3: he was processed under child sex laws. The girl was CLEARLY a minor. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF SHE WAS GETTING PAID FOR IT. Statutory rape is statutory rape.

Penal code of Japan -
Article 176. (Forcible Indecency) - 'A person who, through assault or intimidation, forcibly commits an indecent act upon a male or female of not less than thirteen years of age shall be punished by imprisonment with work for not less than 6 months but not more than 10 years. The same shall apply to a person who commits an indecent act upon a male or female under thirteen years of age.'
Article 177 (Rape) - 'A person who, through assault or intimidation, forcibly commits sexual intercourse with a female of not less than thirteen years of age commits the crime of rape and shall be punished by imprisonment with work for a definite term of not less than 3 years. The same shall apply to a person who commits sexual intercourse with a female under thirteen years of age.'
HOWEVER:
all prefectures and districts have (largely similar) "obscenity ordinances" that forbid "fornication" with anyone under 18 years of age, but exempt sex in the context of a sincere romantic relationship (typically determined by parental approval). The burden of proof for this would be, I imagine, extremely high. A girl taking money for sex would not fall into this category in any jurisdiction.
As has already been mentioned, I think it's well within the realms of decency not to discuss publicly why an employee was released. I could be a potential embarrassment for all concerned if the truth was to come out, particularly if it were for an egregious disciplinary matter such as inappropriate sexualised behaviour toward other staff, grand theft, sabotage, espionage, or we could wander into the criminal arena and involve police investigations... in which case publicly disclosing personnel changes in such detail as certain people elsewhere in the thread are demanding could be seen to impede the police or even pervert the course of justice - which is an offence at common law.
shit. I feel silly. Yes. Point stands though, the text is there somewhere - and the Declaration of Independence *does* have Force of Law, otherwise you'd be standing and saluting the Queen instead of the Star Spangled Banner at the beginning of your sporting events.

the authorisation would come from the Government and its value reflected in the output of the nation, not by comparing it against other currencies.
It's been done before.
It was called the Bradbury and it allowed Britain to prosecute the Great War.
uh... Russia started it. Hitler wasn't interested in war with Britain. He only took off his gloves AFTER Churchill bombed the snot out of Berlin.

wow, I'll bet the bookies at Goldman Sachs will be pleased to hear you say that.
the interest rates made sure that the credit would NEVER be paid.
I just want to know one thing:

apparently it isn't that much of a problem that fracking consumes more freshwater than humans use domestically.
dude, I got some great gasoline off a guy I know from way back, wanna sniff a pint later?
it wasn't Lister; I was found in a box with OUR ROB OR ROS (or something similar) written on it, under a pub table...

not only that, she could be disbarred for misrepresenting her client.
this is standard procedure for ALL rape cases, the world over, particularly those involving victims under the age of majority.
