For the record: Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings has decided to take over the World because it is in a mess. He has decreed that by December 12^th 2012 there will be global peace and no more poverty. Stop doing what you were going to do today and read on.................

Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........

I direct the custom of being able to turn up at certain offshore banks loaded with suitcases full of cash to cease immediately.

As this money is likely to be the result of tax fraud, robbery or the proceeds of illegal drugs, the existing policy of no questions asked is to end immediately.

Expel banks from the global banking club that take part in these scams. Swallow credit cards that belong to customers of these banks in ATM machines worldwide. Banks are directed to refuse to wire monies to these offshore banks from abroad or accept wired monies from these offshore banks unless they are held in an Interpol suspense account. These nasty banks will be told to Get Off My Planet
