Midweek Cheek No. 10 - Elixr of Life

Introduction

Man has longed to create a concoction that will improve his well being and enhance the senses making him godlike. However with the advent of genetic engineering and mapping of the human genome man can redesign himself into a new man. For some considerable time now we have enjoyed the benefits of vitamins and minerals with huge investments into research and development within this field. Newly emerging products come to market in months instead of years and becoming widely accessible via the Internet. Although these new developments and practices are beneficial their are some fruits that have lasted the test of time. These fruits are the prune, date, fig and olive, such fruits are still highly regarded throughout the world. Many cultures have recognised the benefits they bring to the health and wealth of its people. So much so that they iconised them with embroidered clothing, decorated monuments and identified them with nationhood.

Overtime stories and myths were embelished over the centuries as if to immortalise them as foods of the goods. And so these fruits were once the luxuries of dynasties over the centuries and of the peasant farmers that toiled the land. Indeed the farmer enjoyed some of the fruits of his labour and coincidental the family benefited from a healthier life. Now these fruits are considered to be the appetites of the elderly and eccentric, nevertheless the manage to find their ways into many delectable dishes. Traditional cuisines that incorporated these ingredients have continued to be the mainstay of festivities during the Christmas period. Unfortunately the marketing team behind these fruits have failed to relay the messages of their health benefits and versatility. Information is the key and if more people are aware of;

• What are they ?
  
• Where are they from ?
  
• What are the health benefits ?
  
• What cooking possibilities ?
• What variations are available ?
• What applications are applicable ?
  

The Prune



The Date



The Fig



The Olive



Finally

Having enjoyed these fruits for decades they have so many uses combined or individually. People rebuke any notions of making them apart of their weekly diet, irrespective of their health benefits. Alas many people nowadays prefer the simplicity of ready meals and other high processed foods that suit the needs of the instant gratification disposable society (IGDS).

Bargain "Bank" Basement Sale - RBS, HBOS, Northern Rock and LloydsTSB

Introduction

Selling off of the prime cuts from RBS, LloydsTSB, HBOS and Northern Rock to the (profitable sections) sold at bargain basement prices to the avaricious competitors. Meanwhile the maledictive toxic portions continue to burden with the poor for generations. Increased taxes by the labour government that claims to possess socialistic values and support the working class has done the opposite. Three terms of labour governance has resulted in the poor even poorer and the rich ever richer, and now the reemergence of the CONservaties and the Eton mafia are likely to succeed in their need for greed.






We're In The Money

Quantative easing aka printing money aka inflation which results in a devalued currency hence the emergence of the strong Euro. People were suckered into thinking their buying another home and spend £20k in refurbishment after selling it and making £40k+ profit. Greed was their misdeed and they fell to their knees begging please to the banks for help. Instead the banks gave them a two fingered salute and gave them an eviction notice, and then the banks asked for help. So what did the politicians do ? They gave the banks a blank cheque and £200 billion to date was given to these avaricious bankers, they wouldn't circulate money instead they sat on it.


It's the three stooges Mervyn "Vermin" King, Alistair "Prankstar" Darling and Gordon "Bordem" Brown.

This premeditation aimed to blackmail the people of the United Kingdom, into rescuing the rapacious elite families wealth stored within these banks. Because of the systematic failings of regulation and monitoring of numerous dubious financial institutions profits, the people are branded like cattle. As do farmers brand their cattle we the people have become branded with the brands of HBOS, Norther Rock, Lloyds TSB and RBS for generations.


We're all one big happy family and you're not invited proles.

Finally


Yeah we are family..... i got all my BROTHERS with me !

Now the elites are enjoying a boom while we endure the bust for they are buying all the devalued properties nationwide to embellish their pride. Rest of the people that were mislead by the propaganda television programmes regarding house profiteering. As their tears run down the eviction notices handed to them by bailiffs on behalf of the banks (they later bailed out) smearing the words into gibberish (just like Gordon Brown's lame excuses to save the banks).


Yes a family that eats together stays together.

David Cameron and his etonian ilk are poised to deliver reform like you've never seen before, more stealth taxes, huge reductions in public services and even more draconian legislation. Say goodbye to your bill of rights, the magna carta for tomorrow is the dawn of the fascist public spies (FPS). Community wardens spying, listening and recording your every action and reporting you to the police just like the stasi in East Germany. Files on every person until the pandemic is released and the 80% of proles worldwide are eradicated then the elite we'll be content. Enough paranoia although bleak it's worth taking a peek into what the elite seek.


Oh really you don't say.... i too have a few pennies hidden away.

Alcohol, Tobacco and Drugs

Introduction

With the bankers now subsidised by everyman woman and child in the United Kingdom, you'd think the pestilent nature of alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs were reviewed. Current legislation attempts to provide an illusionary veil over the matter, meanwhile relishing in the tax revenue generated. Who really knows what the government actually does with these proceeds of sin, maybe they're invested in black projects ? I don't know, however i do know these abhorrent and insidious tools degrade the health of society year by year, furthermore it strains the NHS.

Profiteering miscreants from these trades enjoy the privileges of titles and seats in the lords. Connivance between the government and these corporations is undeniably apparent, purveyors of social erosion.

Alcohol

Dissdents from the British Medical Association have lobbied the governments lacklustre approach to issue of alcohol abuse, and its impact on the NHS.

• 69 - percentage alcohol is cheaper by than it was in 1980.
• 8,999 - number of people who died from alcohol abuse last year.
• 3,054 - number of people who died from alcohol abuse in 1984
• £1.18 - cost of a three lite bottle of value cider (12.6 units) in one supermarket
• 1.1 million - adults that are alcohol dependent
• £2.7 billion - estimated annual cost of alcohol misuse to the NHS

Tobacco

UK Cigarette Prices

April 2009 £5.85 (RRP) £4.45 (Tax Burden)

Tax Revenue from Tobacco Products
1990-91 £5.6Billion (Duty) £1.1Billion (VAT)
2006-07 £8.1Billion (Duty) £1.9Billion (VAT)

Drugs

Resurgence of Afghan heroin is back on the streets of Britain thanks to endeavors of the "coalition of the willing", such ill-gotten proceeds and profits reinforce the FTSE. Free opium means free anesthetics, analgesic (pain killers), morphine (ween people off heroin) for legitimate uses in hospitals in peace and wartime. Illegitimate variations from the Afghan opium are deliberately developed, managed, sustained, processed, transported and distributed throughout the U.K. Remember since the liberation of Afghanistan by the "coalition of the willing" opium production has increased by 800%, in spite of the Taliban commended by the U.N for reducing the prevalence of the illicit drug.

Finally

Hypocritical as it may seem the government continues to legitimise these destructive products, while acting righteous within their faith. Debauched corporate executives mobilise themselves resembling a camarilla to pursue their common purpose. Without compunction these insatiable vampiric soldiers of pestilence advance the biocide, and sustain their wealth. Glib politicians and health secretaries promote initiatives to reduce the consequential affects of these products without success. I'm no biocentrist, however i recognise the primary and secondary detrimental effects of such products on society. Insobriety within society is directly proportional to the prosperity of the nobility.

Never mind intemperate proles drink up and get bladdered the country needs the tax, so revive the economy by giving yourself a lobotomy, fritter away your time, health and wealth on booze. Endorsed alcohol, cigarettes and drugs with the royal seal emblazoned upon head of the product resembling a crown (ownership). Fluidity of liquidity is a necessity for longevity and validity of the nobility, so remain in slavery and enjoy your misery.
