DODGE, AVOID, EVADE TAX TO BANKRUPT BRITAIN & GREECE


2nd July 2015.

THE DUMB GREEKS ARE BORROWING BACK THE MONEY GOUGED TAX-FREE FROM THEIR ECONOMY BY TAX-EVADERS. WILL THEY EVER STOP THE SCAM?


2nd July 2015 – Letter to the Guardian.

The Greek €1.6B IMF payment due now, is €500 per household – a month’s income for poor families (Germany turns the screw – Guardian 2 July 15). The largest cause of the €316B national debt, €140,000 per family, is tax-evasion-capital-flight, e.g. The Lagarde List of HSBC Zurich Accounts includes €500,000,000 hidden by the Papandreou  family – just one Greek family has buried half-a-billion Euros. Shipping families pay no taxes. Repatriation of the capital-flight from the world’s 72 tax-havens, via normal back-tax cases, will pay off the whole Greek debt. The Guardian reports today a stark example, the $1B stolen from ruined Moldova, siphoned to tax-havens. Similarly, the UK’s, Italy’s, Spain’s and Portugal’s debts, and those of all emerging economies, will be re-paid when the $32 trillion global total in tax-havens (80 million jobs), gouged from national High Streets, is clawed back by tax collectors. Are Alex Tsipras of Greece, and Jean Claude Juncker of corporate tax-haven Luxembourg, too polite to mention this illicit, vast, offshore hoard? Tax-evasion-capital-flight is the nub of these Greek Wars between the super-rich and the struggling poor.

Rt Hon David Gauke MP
Conservative Treasury Minister
UK – Conservative Minister dodges, avoids or evades proposed CCCTB tax rules.

Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base - It is no surprise that The Guardian today publishes an article, BRITAIN REJECTS PLAN TO FIGHT TAX AVOIDANCE; but what they really mean is that Tory Treasury Minister, David Gauke, not Britain, refuses to cooperate with Europe and America to stop multinationals, criminals, tax-planners and super-rich individuals from evading taxes “on an  industrial scale”. The Tories won 37% of the May 2015 vote. Most UK politicians and public servants do want to stop tax-evasion.

INTERNATIONAL TAX EXPERT RICHARD MURPHY WROTE TODAY ON CCCTB.

“Turn a blind-eye” David Gauke is at least being consistent in continuing to support wholesale tax-evasion. He and ex-Head of UK tax Dave Hartnett, are infamous for giving “soft, sweetheart deals” to Britons with offshore secret accounts; and to multinationals using LuxLeaks style self-invoicing to pay no tax on huge revenues siphoned from the UK.

Minister Gauke must be terrified by the threat of having to identify “Who in UK Government uses tax-havens?” as many of his most bullish close colleagues, in all Parties and Departments, are known to have offshore assets, trusts and companies. They would lynch him if he allowed them to be taxed, like ordinary citizens are taxed. They are too posh, too powerful or too rich to pay taxes. “Only little people pay tax”.

In my opinion, the entire political-sham campaign of rushing into a UK referendum to quit the EU – or at least be exempt from EU laws – is a panic measure to dodge, avoid or evade the raft of coming European Court decisions that will nullify and reverse all the clumsy, self-evident, self-invoicing that has drained £2T to £3T from the UK to tax-havens in the past 30 years. The GET OUT OF EUROPE campaign was kick-started by City millionaire and City funded, Nigel Farage MEP.

Despite the failure of Farage’s solo MP, UKIP Party in the May elections; the Tories, the Ivy League Party of the rich, is still vigorously pursuing UKIP’s agenda to leave Europe. The Too-Posh-To-Pay-Tax Party, is utterly determined to sabotage any and all EU attempts at intelligent cooperation to reverse tax-evasion and to recover £3 trillion (8 million good jobs) for the UK Treasury. The secret “owners” of the tax-haven assets would rather see Britain follow Greece into bankruptcy, caused by tax-evasion-capital-flight, than pay the back-taxes which are legally due.

We live in interesting times.

ISLAMIC SADISTS - VICIOUS LEADERS


Update 13 November 2019.

Just when we hoped that ISIS is defeated and Muslims are becoming civilised, AMNESTY International asks for help to free an Iranian woman Nasrin Sotoudeh from 38 years in prison and 148 lashes; a terrible flogging which might kill her. https://www.amnesty.org/en/get-involved/take-action/iran-free-nasrin-satoudeh-now/ Her punishment, under Sharia Law, is for acting as a Human Rights lawyer. Read the case and do what you can to help. AMNESTY need money and thousands of letters to the Iranians. The most effective criticisms will be from international Muslims.



Nasrin Sotoudeh, an internationally renowned human rights lawyer jailed in Iran, has been handed a new sentence that her husband said was 38 years in prison and 148 lashes.
Sotoudeh, who has represented opposition activists including women prosecuted for removing their mandatory headscarf, was arrested in June and charged with spying, spreading propaganda and insulting Iran’s supreme leader, her lawyer said.
She was jailed in 2010 for spreading propaganda and conspiring to harm state security – charges she denied – and was released after serving half of her six-year term. The European parliament awarded her the Sakharov human rights prize.
The UK is berating itself for "Islamophobia" in politics. Islam is the global religion of about 1.3 billion Muslims. They can't all be savage, uneducated, sexually-challenged sadists. Some challenge their "holy" books that preach vile acts against women - and men - but mostly their feverish imaginations blame their women as sinners - deserving the wrath of "God". Their high-priests and religious leaders chat daily with God - so they know precisely what He, She or It wants. Here are some of the lunatic leaders who enjoy flogging and punishing women; as of course, God commands. It is how they get sexual arousal in a society that bans sex.




 










Other than confining these vicious, unjust, unbalanced, sadist in a zoo - with a lifetime's supply of their "holy" texts - what can be done about fervent Islamists spreading Sharia Law?

I was just about to be persuaded that Muslims in Europe and the USA are OK - apart from the even more crazed, suicide-vest gang. They simply hate and want to kill everybody who isn't a Muslim - and to kill a large percentage of Muslims who interpret the "holy" books differently from themselves. The Suicide gangs consult God by the hour - and He, She, It tells them THE TRUTH, THE WAY and THE RULES. They know that to get to Heaven they must kill all non-believers.

How can the stone-age Iranians - and all the 1.4 billion Muslims, be taught to accept the other 6 billion people on the planet? In the meantime, we can put pressure on Islam's political and religious leaders to free their innocent prisoners and compensate them for false arrest and sadistic treatment. Do you think I am exaggerating their modern savagery? Here is how they stone people (mostly defenseless women - they are cowards as well as perverts) to death in a modern society:

Update 7 October 2015.

Raif Badawi has been awarded a prize for literature. This will help to keep him in the minds of global civilized society - but he is still cruelly imprisoned and threatened with being tortured to death by 1,000 lashes, administered 50 per week by the world's most primitive, barbaric, savages, the Saud family, who rule Saudi Arabia. I cannot find any reports on Raif's present state of health. I guess the Saud's have paid the western media a lot of money to suppress any news. The UKs Prime Minister, David Cameron, recommended in 2013 that Saudi Arabia should sit on the UN council for human rights. Does evil hypocrisy have any worse examples of political doublespeak? Cameron evaded answering why he won't criticize King Saud, about a youth who the royal family want to publicly crucify: Ali Mohammed al-Nimr, 17, faces the death penalty. 

********

Appalling - Horrible - FRIDAY 12th JUNE - ANOTHER 50 LASHES:

We. The People, do not need to wait for governments to civilize this savage country and save Raif Badawi from being slowly tortured to death. Air Traffic controllers can divert their planes - Airport managers refuse them landing - Port managers refuse their ships - International bank clerks refuse their money transfers - Oil market traders refuse their trade - God will refuse their souls. People power can stop this sadism today. Don't deal with Saudi Arabia until it reforms. Act now!

SIGN AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL's PETITION

********
The psychopathic, barbaric ruling family of Saudi Arabia and the "religious" leaders have designed a savage and horrible, medieval torture that takes months to kill a prisoner. Sadistic crowds are invited to get their sadomasochistic sexual kicks by watching the long, terrible, agonizing process. 

Week after week, a writer, Raif Badawi, is dragged from his cell to be publicly flogged with fifty-lashes, enough to kill most modern men, and is then thrown back into a cell. If he survives, the process is repeated ...and repeated ...and repeated ...up to 1,000 lashes. If he somehow lives through it all - he will be imprisoned, crippled by his appalling injuries, for another 9 years. His crime? Writing a blog that mildly criticized the Saudi system. 

All civilized societies should continually and persistently express their horror and outrage - and conduct no business of any sort with these cruel, primitive thugs.

GLOBAL WARMING - SUMMER READING

CLIMATE-CHANGE NOVELS - SUMMER READING

GLOBAL WARMING - CLI-FI NOVELS


The seas will rise by 300ft (91 metres) as the ice-caps melt. Will you survive the change? Will your home be underwater? CLIMATE CHANGE FICTION - Cli-Fi is primed to explode. Buy these absorbing, fact-based tales now "to avoid disappointment". They are both exciting and prophetic. Written by your favorite futurist, Noel Hodson.

LATEST FORECAST 20 Metres - New Scientist - 13 June 15. By Michael Le Page.
5 years ago, science forecast a 5mm rise - 4,000 times smaller. 100 metres is most likely. Its calculated in these books.


Prime Minister
Rt. Hon David Cameron MP
By Email
12 June 2015.

Dear Mr Cameron,

SEA LEVEL RISE & BRITISH MARINE ENGINEERING

Congratulations on winning a second term.

I wrote to you on 15 June 2013, encouraging UK investment in marine–engineering to build large floating cities. E.G. Florida, Boston and Amsterdam will buy one.

Today, New Scientist magazine, Page 8, “Five Metres & Counting” by Michael Le Page, says sea level will rise 20 metres. 5 years ago, science predicted sea-level rise of “5mm within the next century”. That scientific consensus was 4,000 times too small. And, in my “futurist’s” view, was decades out on timing. I think a 20 metres rise is still several times too little.

http://www.newscientist.com/special/worse-climate (I don’t know how you avoid the Persil Ad pop-up).

Please re-read my 15th June 2013 letter and blog (link) and mobilise the UK’s formidable, world class, marine engineering industry to specialise in building amphibious homes and permanently floating major cities. The whole world will need this highly profitable industry – and it is the most efficient and pro-active way to re-house drowned London.

Your colleague, Mayor Boris Johnson MP, was right to propose an island /floating Thames Estuary airport. It is practical, necessary and economic.

Yours truly

Noel Hodson

PS – And, I would be grateful if you could persuade the MoT to fund our green freight transport project, which is both flood proof and simple technology, and far cheaper than any existing freight transport, using only 10% of the energy. Their horrified reaction to date is “But its NEW! Mr Hodson. Its NEW!”


A futurist is a  lunatic forecaster and mad prophet - until it happens - then is an irritating smart-ass when it happens. But, they can also be a very readable and increasingly credible prophet. Will you survive Global Warming - and what will happen to the human race? Two stories - 500 years apart - spell out what Climate-Change will bring.



 Recent extreme weather events around the world support the IPCC Climate Change scientists. My novels spell out the impact on heroines and heroes, on ordinary people, on Cities and on the planet. You will enjoy reading them.


OUT OF THE DEPTHS – by Noel HodsonMeltdown floods London and New York NOW and despatches 80% of the global population, so society has to re-form itself.

AD 2516 – After Global Warming  - by Noel Hodson (recommended for the Whitbread Prize) – a light and humorous, yet deep and realistically based tale of what will become of us, in 500 years time – after the icecaps melt.
