S is For Stourbridge: what is for sale?

I have been aware of the long and on-going campaign by re-developers to do a deal in STOURBRIDGE.

A Deal that will make Millions of Pounds of Profits continue circulating amongst the BIGGEST. The RICHEST and the most powerful corporations. If not Tesco then some equally SUPER-RICH Capitalist BULL; to BUY OUT the means to production and retail space-time in Stourbridge Town, Black Country, England.

The majority of the people who live or have lived in Stourbridge are being IGNORED! with regards to this SELL OUT deal, thats "Going Ahead" according to the crooked reporting that always accompanies crooked business DEALS.

Crooked or "CROOK'd" as i prefer, implies that the decision made by our so called democratic government IGNORED most of the views and feedback from the local natives from in and around the STourbridge area. I for one have been IGNORED. Repeatedly on not just the TESCO, SUPER-HYPER MARKET Bloodsucking issues. But the destruction of Brierley HILL Swimming Baths, and the neglect of the RIVER STOUR, considering the Town is NAMED after the River. (which may or may-not get modifyed by the New Hypermarket Cabal.)

I am, however open to debate and discussion, even lunch or a game of SNOOKER on the issue of URBAN RENEWEL. And will wager my ideas, projects, community group values and cultural experience against any International Corporation with an annual turnover above $23'000. (Modus has an estimated 2.5 Bn turnover) And here is some etymological information to help us evaluate the bull-shit, deception quotent within:

Modus means mode, way. Vivendi means living. Together, way of living, implies an accommodation between disputing parties to allow life to go on. It usually describes informal and temporary arrangements in political affairs. For example, when two sides reach a modus vivendi regarding the territories disputed, even though they may not agree with each other's values or attitude, they have worked out a way of living with their differences.--Modus Vivendi @ Wikipedia

Peter Macfarlane, Modus director of investments, said: ‘It’s fantastic for the people of Stourbridge and will help the town immensely. We aim to provide ever better goods and services in a way that is profitable, ethical and respects the environment, individuals and communities in which we operate.’

Modus bought the centre in January 2006. The permission follows the plans referral to the Secretary of State by the Government of the Northwest.--Stourbridge property Sale in Property Weekly


I do not know this Peter Macfarlane. But if he wants to meet be in Stourbridge for a chat about ethics, respecting the environment, individuals and communities then i extend my welcome.

In the meantime, while people like Peter Macfarlane, and our local M.P and most of the other M.P's from in and around the Black Country area were not born and bread in the Black Country, they TALK as if THEY KNOW OUR/MY Black Country Culture.
All they know, it seems to me, is how to talk to Bankers, Lawyers, Police and Thieves. The audacity of these suits and cops to SELL OFF OUR MARKET TOWN, as if it were just WATER, OIL, or ROVER cars. And the cheek of them to talk about their willingness to interact with the community, individuals, just makes them look more slimy, more slithery and snake like. And thats what they is. Snakes. With a UNITED SNAKES SHOPPING COMPLEX! And a religiously inspired fundamentalism towards SHOPPING. Now, i am mixing my own personal feelings with the more factual data. Mixing emotion and subjective bias with the more objective reality i.e the agreement of Stourbridge Burrough Council (Whom i am unfamiliar with, strangely enough--as Stourbridge comes under DUDLEY Burrough Council--control) to GIVE-THE-GO-AHEAD for a total transformation of the Old Market Town, into a new SUPER-HYPER COMPLEX. With shopping, car-parking, even houses for Shopaholics to breed in, or their religiously inspired shopping managment hierrachy.

The fact that i have called for a simple open group on internet, and a saving, documentation of the people of STOURBRIDGE their comments and feelings expressed through words, about TESCO, SHOPPING MALLS, Local Government and other realted topics. OK, (i think to myself) so i'll go get em' myself then shall i? I could use some help.

Big Business is stealing our culture with stolen teeth. Our Swimming pools, our Skateparks, our Night-Clubs our Pubs and community spaces, even our rivers, and our language (They steal the word Community when they "The property dealers" are not even on Facebook, myspace or any open web forum for a chat) they hide in their mansions on young peoples blood. Vampires day and night. Do anything for them GREEN frogskins, and their masters.

And so, i dedicate my spore of the words to smuthering this highly deceptive crooked Hyper-Market business model that seems to be killing my country, my culture and my poem. All i have wanted is to communicate, and i have been IGNORED! for more than 4 years by the Dudley MBC Government, and their fine plucked Journalists at the local Newspapers who reinforce these Crooked lies. Our collective voice's as an alternate and COUNTER-CULTURE, in the Black Country are IGNORED. The heart of Industrial revolutions is under arrest. And great loving people of the general heart are bleeding for Justice, Freedom, Liberty and the local means to production. Let us PLAY! WATCH US PLAYING. And remix your praying into a new saying. 50 Million! You better Pay and Display.

In Banks We Trust by Penny Lernoux

This book follows the same pattern of discovery that the investigation took, first describing the follies and dubious shenanigans of several large U.S. banks. The people involved are not necessarily criminals, although convictions may arise from one case. Rather, they are what is loosely described in business journals as wheeler-dealers—people who skirt the law or take big risks for quick profits. Some were plain dumb, in the words of a bank chairman involved in the Penn Square debacle, believing that there was such a thing as a sure gamble, only to discover, when the chips were down, that potential profits must be weighed against the danger of loss. Curiously, while malevolent, the criminal element poses less of a threat to the average American than the wheeler-dealers, who, as happened in 1929, could bring the economy crashing down. Indeed, it is the "anything goes" atmosphere in banking today—along with huge profits and virtually no government controls—that has attracted so many crooks.
The second part of the book documents the criminal aspects of banking, showing how gangsters and U.S. intelligence agents have used the same banks. The Latin-American and Caribbean connections, particularly in the chapters on the Vatican Bank, relate right-wing terrorists to bank involvement in the U.S.-bound narcotics traffic, two thirds of which originates in Latin America.
The third part also focuses on Latin America because of bankers' fears that a string of Latin defaults could end in a replay of the 1929 bank crash. Latin America also offers a good example of how human rights in the developing countries are linked to American pocketbooks. By so enmeshing their financial futures with Latin America, U.S. banks have probably done more than any human rights organization to heighten Americans' awareness of their neighbors' plight.
Throughout the book there is a recurrent theme: the complacency in American society that tolerates—even admires—Mafia gangsters and the successful operator who makes a killing by bending the law. Or, as one criminal investigator put it, "It's time we Americans recognized that the idea that crime doesn't pay is pure nonsense. Crime pays more than any other profession, with less risk and a higher profit motive." Especially for banks....
