For a moment there, I thought that the snow fall had stopped. It did... all of a couple of hours. then it started again. A very fine, dry snow, quietly, steadily falling without let-up...
Soon we will all be buried under this white stuff.
I told Christin that I was going to fly to Florida, buy Key West and settle there once and for all.
So what else is new?
The Financial Scandal of Salzburg is getting, as the saying goes: "curiouser and curiouser"...
Now they have discovered a letter in which the Housing Department gives to the Finance Department completely unfettered permission, describing in great detail what the Finance Department may do with the 800 Million Euros. ( the exact amount is still in question. It could be more) Investing into Shares, Derivatives, Options, Foreign Currency Transaction of all manner and kind... and on and on... in other words, the Housing Department said: Here's all the money with which we are supposed to build social housing, but, hey, what the hell...you take it and gamble with it to your heart's content. What a sweet letter, giving the go-ahead to Monica and her political bosses to continue "Verzocking" hundreds of millions of Euros..
(remember the meaning of "Verzocken" ... to engage in high risk investments.
EXCEPT... wait a while... the boss of the Housing Department says: What letter? I never wrote such a letter, I never signed such a letter... This is a clumsy forgery !!!
This is not my signature!
This is not the way we sign our letters!
This is not the stationary we use!
This is not the stamp we affix to our letters...wait a moment...
this is the stamp used by the Finance Department... the number 61 clearly identifies it as belonging to the Finance Department. We would have no access to this stamp and anyway, why would we use the stamp of the Finance Department?
and again: While this signature at the bottom of this forgery LOOKS like mine, it definitely is not mine...
So, we call a graphologist, a hand writing expert whose final opinion will be published tomorrow, but certain circles claim that the graphologist's opinion will confirm the signature as NOT being genuine. Okay, are we then calling the Police ???
I WILL AGAIN RAISE THE SAME ALL IMPORTANT QUESTION:
If the housing department doesn't need the money that urgently, that they don't miss it for years...(The whole swindle started in 2006) and if the Finance Department can invest these funds on long term basis, this clearly indicates that Governments on all levels have too much money.
There is, therefore, only one decent, honest, moral way to deal with such overabundance of funds:
GIVE THE MONEY BACK TO THE PEOPLE BY LOWERING THE TAXES.
Did I say: "decent, honest and moral" ? I think that these are the very attributes missing in many, if not most, Politicians of all stripes.
The activities of Governments should be restricted to the following:
External Affairs (including a small but efficient Military Force)
Internal Security (to protect the rights and safety of private citizens)
Health and Education, and
Fixing of Pot Holes. (the above list is a little "tongue in cheek" list.)
(on second thought: maybe we should give the fixing of pot holes into private hands as well.)
No, Bertstravels does not own an asphalt company.
