"I will place my name on their hands"
Dudes ,
I think I'm becoming more devout as I age, or maybe it is the influence of my better half?😆
In any case as this time is an incredibly difficult one ,
Y' va-re-che-cha Adonai v'yish-mire-cha Ya-er Adonai panav elei-cha vihu-necha

The Lord bless you and keep you
May the Lord shine His Face upon you And be gracious unto you; may the Lord look upon you And give you peace, and give you peace

The deep south west of England
Hi All,
Missin my sisters who lives in the south west of England , a very rural region of Devonshire, Somerset, Dorset , Gloucestershire, Wilshire and Cornwall.
Somerset is renowned for its apples and therefore cider:
And Cornwall for it's amazing beauty , rugged terrain, wilderness- this is where the hounds of Baskerville come from and it's said that there is indeed a beast of Bondmin moor , Jamaica inn is real and haunted by ghosts, plus the place of smugglers , pirates and privateers (esp after Brexit LOL!) :

Socialism run mad (again!)
Hi All,
Despite the fact that Starmer has much greater media support and tactical savvy than Corbyn, they are both socialists run mad.
In the latest sign that the Labour party leadership have not learned their lessons from their crushing defeat at last year's general election (Labour members by contrast are still as far left as they come).But anyway the Labour leadership are now suggesting a wealth tax because of covid and the predicted £300 billion deficit and national debt of 100% of GDP. This is just Socialism run mad and like most socialistic theft by taxation it simply won't work or only effect billionaires.
A wealth tax is a tax on assets , rather than income. Assets can be liquid or illiquid, generally liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents (assets than can be quickly translated in £). An illiquid asset is something which is of value , but can take time in become hard cash, the most obvious being property (you house if you own it or it could be art or even wine).
Thus if you have a wealth tax at 1% it gives the government permission to take £1 for every £100 you have saved. If you own a property, with a mortgage, at £230,000 , UK average price, you will have to cough up £2,300. If you own shares, for savings or a pension you would also have a tax grab by the government. That doesn't sound a lot because it's percentages, but imagine if it were pitched at 20% like income tax , so on your average priced house you have to cough up £46,000.
If you are renting you might think that won't bother me, except landlords will pass on this by rent increase or by being forced to sell the property as they don't have the liquid cash to pay for the asset tax and new owners inevitably increase rent . Same with assets such as shares, which means you have less of a pension pot. Then multiply that by millions and the asset which is being taxed will decrease- because of the simple mechanism of supply and demand- in value as every one tries to scramble to get cash to pay the tax.
In any event genuine billionaires , by the time it's clear Labour will be the government, will have already moved their liquid assets outside the UK into tax havens and will have found a way out of paying an asset tax on tangible property. The lawyers and accountants will have a good day.
In short an asset tax is socialism and not moderate blairite policies, when Labour won 100 seat majorities. It will help equality. Equality in bringing all people to poverty and worse standards of living that we have right now.

The Great Civilisations of the Multi Universe
Hi All,
There are 6 Great Civilisations of the infinite Multi Verse , those civilizations that have the ability not only to travel between stars, but also galaxies, time travel, alternative realities and parallel universes , whose physiology make them appear to be biologically immortal (on both a geological and human timeframe, although even they cannot withstand entropy or weapons powerful enough to kill them) and whose science can pass for the impossible magic, with enough military strength and geographical reach is enough to withstand the worse of attacks, wherein weapons of mass destruction are the capability to reduce entire galaxies to nothing other than nebula.
They are the principle civilizations of what remains of the grand Allianz , which was forged in a war lasting 13.5 million years and in relative human terms ended at the same time as the dinosaurs on planet Earth, which resulted in the destruction of billions of civilizations and quadrillions of life forms .
To ensure that nothing like this happened again, they instituted the "congress" system, similar to the system of international relations that existed after the Napoleonic wars on earth: not quite a UN of the stars, but not quite a cold war: more like watching Metternich ,Bismarck,Palmerston &Disraeli than Trump, Jimmy Carter or Brezhnev.
They are in no particular order , with the names of their government in brackets, although it must be noted that the Byzantine are considered primus inter pares (first among equals) :
1. The Svinge [ Kingdom]
2. The Koobe [ Co operative Democratic Freehold]
3. The [Holy] Byzantine [Empire ]
4. The Bahar[ Republic]
5. The K'hari [Collegiate]
6. The Onconvar [Communities] of [Convergence]
There are , of course, many other civilizations that have risen and fallen, but none of them at their strongest can hope to match any of these at their weakest .

Chinese Jews come home
Hi All,
As xenophobic brexit Britain welcomes the entrepreneurial people of Hong Kong , so too does xenophobic Zionist Israel welcome the Jews of China :
