Science of the Social Credit Measured in Terms of Human Satisfaction

20 September 2013 Thought for the Week:

House of Representatives Elections, 7th September 2013:

I, Peter Woodley Davis, vote INFORMALLY for the election of our Member for the Electorate of Grey for South Australia because:
1. Commonwealth Electoral law requires a citizen to REGISTER to vote at elections. It is NOT COMPULSORY to vote for any candidate nor Party ticket.

2. Our REPRESENTATIVE is elected [to] represent the view of our Electorate of Grey, not a Party platform.

3. No candidate has given an undertaking to defend our cultural and religious origins; that is, the British Constitutional Monarchical system of Parliament, our National flag and our Christian heritage.

4. No candidate has stated a desire to resume control of the Nation’s currency, credit creation ability and interest rate stability that prevailed when the Commonwealth Parliament owned and controlled the COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA from 1912 TO 1924. A Nation that permits its currency to “float” in a deregulated “global” market does not control its financial affairs. Thus, the steady collapse of our productive industries and associated job losses.

5. No candidate has indicated support for a MONOcultural and MONOracial Australia.

6. No candidate has indicated total immigration numbers should be substantially reduced from current numbers.

- - Signed: P.W. Davis, 46 Cook Street, Pt. Lincoln, SA 5606. 7 September 2013  


ALTERNATIVE TO DISASTER: The case for Social Credit, by L.D. Byrne, 1936

“The life force of a community – its source of power – that which makes it a functioning entity – is its credit. This credit is the belief, amounting to a certainty, inherent in society that in association its individual members are capable of achieving what would be impossible to them living in isolation…

The issue being fought out in the world today is the organisation of society in accordance with the ideology of the Old Testament versus the ideology of the New Testament. Principles of personal power, domination and violence which characterise the background of the Old Testament appear to have been dominant traits throughout history… the principles of society organised as a brotherhood on co-operative lines in which the sovereignty of the individual should be recognised – is in fact the opposite social philosophy.” Further reading:

PROGRAMME FOR THE THIRD WORLD WAR

from Wallace Klinck, Canada
The following prescient observation appears to be relevant to the current global situation. Writing during World War (part II), C. H. Douglas clarified the essence of the prevailing world situation. In an essay entitled ‘The Programme for the Third World War’ (1943), Douglas warned:

“If the responsible individuals during the years 1915-1940 are identified and punished, we may avoid a Third World War. If not, we shall have a Fourth and a Fifth… It is the initiators of policy who are responsible for the effects of policy. The indictment for world crime requires to be directed to the identification of those individuals who licensed world crime…
This is a gangsters’ war, for the benefit of gangsters and the perpetuation of gangsterdom. You can have just as many like it as you wish.
To that end, the first essential is to demand the right to interfere in everyone’s business, preferably without understanding it. That encourages everyone to interfere with you, and a good time is had by all. Then use as many words which have no ascertainable meaning as possible. Demand higher taxes for everyone and complain about your own. Otherwise leave Finance severely alone… A very few years of ‘peace’ founded on these principles will ensure a hearty welcome to the next war…”


PSYCHOPATHIC SATRAPY IN CONTROL OF AMERICA

by Wallace Klinck, Canada
Add your voices in opposition to these recent arbitrary and illegal military aggressions by the "United States of America" - or rather by the psychopathic satrapy which has progressively seized control of that nation. The American-Israeli policy has been exposed at high military levels to be a deliberate program of destabilizing and deposing the leadership of about a half-dozen Mid-Eastern nations in rapid succession with the ultimate target being an isolated Iran, a country which has not, I understand, attacked another nation in some two centuries.

The "Mother of Parliaments" has finally demonstrated that they are tired of being conscripted for promoting interests which serve only a small but determined entity at the expense of the English people. I frankly did not believe that in my lifetime such an outburst would occur at Westminster. According to latest reports the American Congress and Senate, long bought and controlled, are being bombarded with protests from constituents and by estimate some ninety-two per cent of the adult population is opposed to being duped into yet another war on behalf of a tiny cohesive, obsessive and power-seeking minority.

Finally, the American people appear to be awakening to the real threats to both their country and the world and a massive popular reaction is developing to reveal a rapidly widening cleavage between the citizens at large and the destructive cabal that has seized control of the reins of power to employ them arbitrarily for self-interested and illegal purposes.
I am providing a link to the recent debate, or rather revolt, in the British House of Commons. This amount of independent thinking on the part of MPs beggars belief. A good example for Canadian parliamentarians?

Gilad Atzmon writes:
This video, introduced by journalist Joshua Blakeney, offers a selection of the best anti-war speeches delivered during the House of Commons debate on Syria that took place on August 29, 2013. The Con-Dem Coalition had proposed taking Britain into yet another war to help destabilize one of Israel's adversaries, Syria. However, unlike in 2003 with the Iraq war, a sufficient amount of British MPs were able to see through the war propaganda and voted to refrain from deploying UK forces to fight against the people of Syria.


AIPAC IS A GRAVE THREAT TO WORLD PEACE

From Gilad Atzmon:
Israeli Ynet reports tonight on AIPAC’s relentless efforts to push America into a war. 6 September 2013:
“Though US Congress is pressured by the American public to vote against a US military intervention in Syria, Israel’s most ardent supporters in AIPAC urge Congress representatives to vote in favor of an intervention”.

Ynet writes that in the past Israel has “refrained from pushing US into war, and Jerusalem and AIPAC have thus far kept silent regarding Syria, but in recent days Israel decided to voice its support of an attack.” Ynet reveals the operative plan.

“Some 250 Jewish leaders and AIPAC activists, intend to storm the halls on Capitol Hill beginning next week to persuade lawmakers that Congress must adopt the resolution authorizing US strikes against Syria.”

For the first time in modern history, in the open, the Jewish Lobby together with the Jewish State are pushing for a war that can easily escalate into a global conflict…”  

Gilad Atzmon - “The Wandering Who?”: “Jewish identity is tied up with some of the most difficult and contentious issues of today. The purpose in this book is to open many of these issues up for discussion. Since Israel defines itself openly as the ‘Jewish State’, we should ask what the notions of ’Judaism’, ‘Jewishness’, ‘Jewish culture’ and ‘Jewish ideology’ stand for.
Gilad examines the tribal aspects embedded in Jewish secular discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist; the ‘holocaust religion’; the meaning of ‘history’ and ‘time’ within the Jewish political discourse; the anti-Gentile ideologies entangled within different forms of secular Jewish political discourse and even within the Jewish left.
He questions what it is that leads Diaspora Jews to identify themselves with Israel and affiliate with its politics. The devastating state of our world affairs raises an immediate demand for a conceptual shift in our intellectual and philosophical attitude towards politics, identity politics and history.”

THE RETURN OF THE GOLEMS

by William A. Cook
William A. Cook is a professor of English at the University of La Verne in southern California and author of The Rape Of Palestine: Hope Destroyed, Justice Denied, Tracking Deception: Bush Mid-East Policy and The Chronicles Of Nefaria. He is editor of MWCNEWS.

“In the next few days and completely against the will of the American people, hundreds of AIPAC activists will raid the US Congress to push for a war. Nothing new in that but still, one question bothers me: How many of these pro-war Jews have sent their own sons and daughters to serve in the American military?
Bearing in mind that pretty much the same Lobby pushed for the invasion of Iraq in 2003, one might wonder whether Jews were fairly represented in the military forces or in the casualty statistics of that military blunder. I’d guess they were not. It seems that the enthusiasm of the Lobby in pushing for wars for America doesn’t translate much into patriotism or sacrifice. The Lobby indeed pushes for wars, but somehow it’s always the gentiles who do the killing and the dying.  

Introduction by Gilad Atzmon, 8 September 2013
"Professor William A. Cook bravely examines the current AIPAC’s push for a war in the context of Jewish culture and heritage. He looks at The Golem of Prague - probably the first Jewish drone. Cook’s take is very interesting though I myself believe that ‘Sabbath Goy’ may be even a better description of subservient America.
What we see here is an attempt to study Jewish politics in relation to Jewish culture something the anti Jewish Zionists and the Left have tried to prevent for years."

Professor Cook writes:
“AIPAC urges Congress to grant the President the authority he has requested to protect America’s national security interests and dissuade the Syrian regime's further use of unconventional weapons. The civilized world cannot tolerate the use of these barbaric weapons, particularly against an innocent civilian population including hundreds of children.” (AIPAC, 9/3/2013)
To understand AIPAC’s press statement to the US Congress and the American people, we must understand what is not said: “urges” means “demands”; “protect America’s national security interest” means “protect Israel’s national security interests”; “dissuade” means “destroy”; “Syrian regime’s further use of unconventional weapons” means “prevent by total destruction Syria’s use of the weapons Israel uses against Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey and the Palestinian people”; “civilized world cannot tolerate the use of these barbaric weapons” means “Israel, which does use these barbaric weapons even against children as in the Christmas devastation of Gaza in 2008/9, calls itself civilized knowing the truth that it acts in a barbaric manner but doesn’t want the world to think that is true.”

Thus do words become the vehicle of mass deception draped in the tailored suits of diplomats, bankers and lobbyists who gather to lament, “barbarism on a mass scale must not be given a free pass.” How softly they speak, these civilized men, in respectful damnation of a neighbour tangled in a web of western intrigue to dismember the Syrian state while they, the lackeys of the Zionist government, hide the four hundred mile wall that incarcerates the Palestinians, the network of hundreds of checkpoints that ensures no free movement even within their own land, robs the people of the taxes they paid to help the poverty that stifles them, imprisons them without charge in indefinite detention for ten and twenty years destroying home life and economic growth, confident that they carry the seal of impunity of the American Congress for crimes against humanity for their barbaric behaviour.

How did it come to this? Centuries ago in ancient Prague before the Jewish people established a state for Jews, before they had the means to impose their will on the people of the mid-east, the Jewish population huddled in ghettos behind walls carved out of cities fearful of annihilation, isolated from the communities that surrounded them, condemned by discrimination, envy and ignorance.
Out of that destructive environment, in the city of Prague, Rabbi Lowe sought a solution to the isolation and weariness of his congregants by seeking consolation and security through the magical creation of a creature fashioned from the mud of the Vltava River that runs through Prague.

This creature had the form of a human though huge in body and greater in strength, but lacked intelligence, reason and spirit, for he had no soul. The good Rabbi brought this monster to life to protect the ghetto and to labour on behalf of the residents there. Legend tells that the Golem obeyed only his master and only his master could control him, yet to live without a soul guarantees only indifference to others as a consequence of absolute obedience to the master.
That danger the Rabbi warned about: “Even the most perfect of Golem, risen to life to protect us, can easily change into a destructive force. Therefore let us treat carefully that which is strong, just as we bow kindly and patiently to that which is weak. Everything has its time and place.” (Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, 1512-1609)  

But things have changed since the mid fifteen hundreds. While the wall surrounding the Prague ghetto remains, the reality of Jewish life evolved over the years there, until in the years just preceding the second world war, when Franz Kafka roamed its streets and felt the suffocation of the oppressive air pounding in his head, monsters stirred as Germany found that might indifferent to plight could command and mould minds to their bidding as the ancient Golem did in the damp and murky fingers of Rabbi Lowe. And in that indifference the fate of Jews rested. (The Golem | Jewish Virtual Library
www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/Golem.html)

Today it seems the vision that formed the Golem in the mind of Rabbi Lowe has metamorphosed, like Kafka’s Gregor, into an ugly image unable to discern its own being even as it constructs a disassociated life pretending that all is well with the world.
I see in this change AIPAC as the Rabbi, the controller of the Jews enlisted to his care, as the contemporary controller of all Jews in America and around the world.
Like the Rabbi, AIPAC defines the victimized condition of the Jews despite their military and financial power, despite their possession of weapons of mass destruction, despite their ability to mobilize the greatest military the world has ever known, to mould America into its Golem as the Rabbi used his power over his monster, and all to wreck havoc on the Israeli world. Thus does the curse of the Rabbi bloom in our world and his caution to patience and kindness to the weak recede through indifference.

We witness this week the return of the Golems, approximately 375 Congressmen and women in the House of Representatives and one hundred percent of our Senators, as they gather on call to AIPAC’s command as recounted above, our Commander in Chief being but the mouthpiece for the resurrected Rabbi in the form of this committee of presidents of all the Jewish lobbies that buy the diligence and votes of the peoples’ representatives or face depletion of their re-election coffers and ultimate defeat should they disobey. Under this subterfuge rests the disintegrated bones of America’s democracy.

The vote before our owned representatives is simple enough: destroy yet one more enemy of the Jewish state to ensure its security regardless of the consequent insecurity this act will thrust on the citizens of the United States who adamantly oppose yet another war executed for the people of Israel by the people of the United States as they wait once more for the draped coffins of their sons and daughters to be carried from the innards of cargo planes returning from the Syrian killing fields. But who cares? What congressman or woman will stand against the master that controls his or her future as a politician? Have they not already succumbed to the indifference of lives lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria?
We need only check the record of their obedience that denies the opinions of people around the world who have been repulsed by the deceitful and heinous acts perpetrated by the Zionist state against the people of the mid-East.

The record of U.S. House of Representatives voting pattern
The U.S. House of Representatives voted 344-36 in support of H. Res. 867, a vote to reject the Goldstone Report Findings and Recommendations, thus protecting Israel against indictment for crimes against humanity and illegal acts of war as determined by the United Nations Human Rights Council’s special investigation of the Christmas invasion of Gaza…

“A cursory review of the U.S. Knesset actions taken on behalf of Israel demonstrates conclusively the obedience “our” representatives pay to their owners:
- 2003, a resolution supporting force against Palestinians, 399-5;
- 2004, a resolution forbidding a return to the 1967 borders, 407-9;
- 2006, a resolution defending Israel’s illegal invasion and destruction of Lebanon, 410-8;
- 2009, a resolution defending Israel’s Christmas invasion of the defenseless people of Gaza, 390-5”;
… and now the Golems gather to voice their obedience on Syria, “The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution on Wednesday authorizing a limited U.S. military intervention in Syria, setting the stage for a debate in the full Senate next week on the use of military force.”

Every one of these resolutions support Israel’s illegal actions while the remainder of the world’s nations, excepting a few controlled by the U.S., vote against the crimes of the state of Israel.

This week, with the return of the Golems, the obedient servants of the Zionist state that has refused to find a route to peace in the mid-East, to live in harmony with its neighbours, to take to heart the admonition of Rabbi Lowe, “…to bow kindly and patiently to the weak…,” but rather to conquer the weak and arrogantly to force their Golems to support the illegal confiscation of Palestinian land and the illegal invasions of sister states in Lebanon and Iraq and Syria, then demand of its Golems that they send the sons and daughters of their districts’ citizens to be maimed or die in lands that have no desire to destroy America or the means to destroy it.

Thus does America become the soulless power that rampages across the peoples of the mid-East indifferent to the slaughter it has wrought with its missiles, bombs, and chemical weapons while the Israeli war machine sits on the sidelines watching with envy and joy the holocaust brought to its neighbours…” read further


THE NEED TO FIGHT THE GLOBALISTS

by James Reed
Nick Cater (“New Cultural Cringe Fears the Eyes of the World,” The Australian 27 August 2013, p.12), comments on the dominant globalist, cosmopolitan ideology that sees local democracy as dated compared to the rule of the international community, or world opinion.
Violate “international law” or one of the many UN covenants, and new class elites in Australia are quick to use the power of the internationalists to pull us into line. “Allowing an international covenant to trump acts of Parliament is anti-democratic” he warns.

All of this ultimately leads to a “cosmocracy” as one academic called it, a rule of countries by supranationalist entities forming effectively world government. It is good to see talk about this in mainstream press; for too long it has been regarded only as the domain of conspiracy theorists. Well, it looks like these grim fellows are being proven right.

What to do? As always greater public awareness of the beast is needed. People need to come to see the extent of the problem. And that is just the start. There is a whole level of evil in the financial domain, floating above this politics. Our goal, as always, must be to expose that as well.  


THE REIGN OF TONY RABBIT I - LET'S LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

by James Reed
Let’s not think for the moment about the globalist horrors that the Liberals under Tony Rabbit will unleash on Australia – a continuation of mass immigration, 457 workers taking Australian jobs and the continued sell-off of Australia. The few good things – if we can believe the media – is that there may be a slow-down of the war that cultural Marxism is waging against traditional Australia.
Well, just a bit.
Mr. Rabbit wants a rethink of the national history curriculum which he rightly believes underplays the heritage of Western civilisation. (The Australian 3 September 2013, p.5) There is a “lack of references to our heritage, other than an indigenous heritage.” True – but his own support of mass immigration and Asianisation is making “our heritage”, our Anglo Saxon heritage, irrelevant. These policies complement the cultural Marxism that is destroying our education system.

Mr. Rabbit also hopes to roll back laws limiting free speech, such as the section of the Racial Discrimination Act that was used to nail Andrew Bolt. Former Labor Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said that if Rudd was re-elected he would put into place the same Human Rights Bill that Roxon had put up, and this, many have argued, would have ended free speech in Australia. (The Australian 4 September, 2013, p.14) A small victory!  


THEY CAN’T SEE THE WOOD FOR THE TREES – YET

With the advantage of further counting of votes, Terry McCrann (Herald Sun 11 September 2013) has put a different light on the election results: “Abbott could be a prime minister who has a friendly - or at least "non-left" majority - senate. The senate result has produced an absolutely monumental shift in the national political balance, of a significance which has not yet been appreciated even by the political cognoscenti in the uproar over the low-vote winners.

It's a case of being outraged by the trees - people starting with micro primary votes ending up with a lush seat in the plush senate. And not seeing the wood - the seminal shift in the power balance. It is a shift which is captured in this reality.
“The Greens might have lifted their representation to its highest ever level of 10 senators - and at the same time been rendered utterly powerless. For the election of a collection of micro parties which "harvested" preference flows, concealed a much bigger story. Simply but profoundly, it has locked in, not so much a "right-wing" majority in the senate - the individuals are too flaky to be so characterised. But a "non-left" majority. And locked it in for up to six years.

The immediate consequence of this, once it has been understood, is that there is no way that Tony Abbott will now initiate a double-dissolution election. Apart from the more basic fact, that the new composition of the senate after July 1 will probably deliver him the carbon tax repeal anyway. For a DD election which throws all senators back into the election pot, would almost certainly destroy this "non-left" advantage built on micro parties…”  


TIM ANDREWS – AUSTRALIAN TAXPAYERS ALLIANCE SEES IT

Our New Government & Senate, 9 September 2013
“As the results are being finalised for the 2013 Federal Election one thing is abundantly clear: Australians have rejected the big government tax-and-spend ideology of Labor and the Greens. Tony Abbott ran on a campaign platform of cutting high taxes and cutting waste - and we will be holding him to this! But the real good news for taxpayers is what happened in the Federal Senate. A lot of misinformation has been spread by the ABC and Fairfax. Ignore it.

The reality is - this has the potential to be one of the most pro-liberty Senates we have seen in history. Despite the multi-million dollar campaigns by far-left groups like GetUp, the Labor-Green majority has been broken. Better still - many of the minor party candidates who have come in their place are strong defenders of liberty - and just the people to ensure an Abbott government does the right thing.

In particular, both Bob Day from Family First and David Leyonhjelm from the Liberal Democratic Party, who look likely to be elected in NSW and SA respectively, have a long-standing commitment to the ideas of economic liberty. While they may disagree on social issues, they both are rock-solid in their support for cutting taxes and axing the carbon tax, slashing red tape, and restoring our liberties.

Before the election I said that their tax policies were the best of any political parties, and their election to the senate would be a great victory for taxpayers. Both Bob and David can be counted on to do the right thing and ensure Tony Abbott does the right thing about the economy, and them holding the balance of power is excellent news indeed.
In addition, the Palmer United Party’s stated policy of reducing the income tax burden, and the Motoring Enthusiast Party’s stated policies of reducing tax, restoring individual freedoms, and opposing the nanny state, represent a further win for taxpayers, and we certainly hope their elected candidates honour this pledge.

Most importantly - most of these gains came at the expense of the left. This is the best possible outcome we could have hoped for. The Australian people have clearly voted in favour of smaller government. Let's work together to make this vision a reality.”

Comment: Attach this item to your notice board and check it out every now and again asking the question: Is the Abbot government doing right for the Australian people? Are the minor parties in the Senate safeguarding the rights of the Australian people? As editor, I promise to insist James Reed refers to Mr. Abbot by his correct surname – when he has earned the respect of the Australian people!  


TONY MIFFED: MINOR PARTIES WORKED THE ‘NUMBERS-SMART’

Tony Abbot called for a senate review after complicated preference deal handed seats to minor parties. (Herald Sun, 10/7/2103) A Senate-bound candidate who picked up fewer than 12,000 votes admits he is shocked by his meteoric rise that has sparked moves to overhaul the Senate.
Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party hopeful Ricky Muir has admitted making jokes about September 11 and posing for online videos while throwing kangaroo droppings but refuses to discuss mainstream policies.

Mr Muir is among six minor party candidates in line to win Senate seats based on complicated preference deals. Each will earn nearly $1.2 million over their term and are expected to hold the balance of power in the upper house.
A parliamentary inquiry into the election will be called by the Abbott Government to specifically look at making sure Senate voting rules reflect the “honest wishes”' of voters after Saturday's election threw up candidates who could be elected with as little as 0.2 per cent of the vote .


HOW WE WILL REMEMBER KEV 013 (For about 10 Minutes)

by Peter Ewer
As Kevin Rudd lined up to be judged by voters, his final message was not about immigration, foreign investment or even the economy. No, surprisingly enough it was about Krudd’s new-found issue, gay ‘marriage’, or as I prefer, homosexual ‘marriage’.
No, Rudd-a-dud-dud was not sorry about the way he treated the pastor on ABC’s Q&A, no sir. Rudd was right as usual. Rudd the theologian told us that if it was the case that the Bible condemned homosexuality, then he would have to accept slavery as a natural condition.
Of course, St. Paul never claimed this and his recommendations to slaves to obey their masters has to be read in context of the times, after thousands of slaves had died from slave revolts. This position is clearly distinct from the rejection of homosexuality found in the Old and the New Testaments. One can of course reject this, but the pastor’s point about what remains of Christianity still holds.

In any case, Rudd was widely seen as bullying the pastor rather than engaging in a calm debate – Rudd called his response a “robust” one. Well, I guess now he will have plenty of time on his hands to speculate about matters theological.  


IF YOU ARE FROM ISRAEL - YOU’RE IN!

It was reported in The Australian just prior to the elections (p.1, 26 August 2013) one of Tony Abbott’s first priorities is to “upgrade” relations with Israel. Even more terrorist organisations will be banned. There will be a harder line on “extremists” visiting Australia.
Taxpayer funds will be withheld from any organization backing the “boycott, divestment and sanctions” campaign against Israel.
And the cream on the cake - Israeli citizens get an electronic travel authority giving them instant visa approval.

This is in line with countries such as Canada which gives visa-free entry to Israelis. But what is he doing about the fertility problem?  


THE SAGA OF THE CHOCOLATE ZIONISTS

by Peter Ewer
For those who have not followed the ‘boycott, divestment and sanctions on Israel’ (BDS) campaign: British physicist Stephen Hawking, whom I believe has said that humanity is as significant cosmically as slime mould, announced he would boycott the Israeli Presidential Conference earlier in the year.

Hawking, who has motor-neuron disease speaks through a computer in his wheelchair (a little like Professor X in Marvel comics, X-Men series) apparently has an Israeli-made chip in his communication system. If he is to boycott that, then he will need to replace it with a Chinese-made chip. Or maybe not speak at all.
Then there was that business about boycotting a chocolate shop about to open at one of the unis. I mean, what is that all about? It sounds a bit silly when, apparently, the local operation is wholly Australian-owned. What’s the connection?

The debate generated some interesting quotes at the time, as one spokesman said: When considering the “Zionists in the Australian parliament”, they have “Israel is in their DNA”. (The Australian 2 May 2013, p.1). At the time, it sounded like something out of a Hollywood movie.  


ISRAEL, FERTILITY AND EXISTENTIAL THREATS

Steve Sailer (28 August 2013, iSteve.com)
“Israel Wants Fertility Quality, Not Quantity,” reports concerns in Israel about the high birthrate of Haredis (6.5) and Arabs. Jewish women have a birthrate of 3, compared to an OECD average of about 1.7, but by 2019 a majority of school children will be either ultra-Orthodox or Arab. The problem here is that both groups have a low workforce participation.


Concern has led to cuts in state subsidies for children, with the Israeli Finance Minister saying that child allowances perpetuate poverty. If Arabs and Ultras receive less subsidies they may enter the workforce or have less children, or both, so the thinking goes. We will wait and see how they go with that one: 2019 is not too far off, much closer than our own “doomsday” date.
