Plunder.


        The interest the government pays on national debt is a staggering 5.05% a 20 year high. This is more than double that we saw from 1980 to the 2008 financial crash (corporate plundering). The total amount of the UK's national debt is £2.59 trillion, what does this mean to you and I? Well it means that the chancellor will have to take £23 billion of your tax money and pay it to the sharks in the financial Mafia in interest payments. Last year the government paid the financial Mafia a whopping £111 billion in interest, this is more than it spent on education. What do you think is more important, the education of future generations or sharks of the financial Mafia?
 
       Because of this debt and high interest rate, no doubt our "prudent" chancellor will decide to spend less on health, education and public services, so that he can keep happy those sharks of the financial Mafia. What kind of society is it that can see the people of a country produce all the wealth of a country and then syphon it off a massive chunks to their billionaire/millionaire buddies. They label this insanity "the economy", which is just a misnomer for a system of plundering the poor to fatten the rich. There is alternatives, it is possible to build society on mutual aid, co-operation, fairness and justice that sees to the needs of all our people. We have the numbers, the skills, the imagination, all that is lacking is the will and solidarity to take control of our lives. The choice is ours, we can knuckle down and get on with this grinding never ending daily struggle, or we can take control of our communities, our workplaces and create that better world we all hold in our hearts, we owe it to our future generations.

Bullshit.

         Capitalism, a system that has always represented only the uppermost echelons of the financially affluent and their parasitical banks. This coterie of self seeking financial fraudsters, though chicanery and bribery convinced the political menagerie, that no matter for what purpose it may have been set up, government is in thrall and dependent on this financial cabal and must follow its bidding. So finance dictates what can and cannot be done. The will of the people must bend to the demands of the financial Mafia, or the threat of societies collapse will ensue. Well that is their mantra that is shouted loud and clear. This preached bullshit is treated by the powers that be, with reverence and respect, with the belief that there is no alternative.
       However, you and I should know that there is an alternative way to structure our society. One based on mutual aid, co-operation, sustainability and community, freed from the greed drive profit motive. The injustices and inequalities of capitalism are not set in tablets of stone. It is a human devised system of selfish greed and can be replaced with a human devised system of fairness. All it requires is the will of the majority of the people to take matters into their own hands and do that restructuring. We can’t wait for the powers that be to do that restructuring, they are very happy in their little bubble of affluence, and to hell with you.

Injustice.



           So the Sunak/Hunt duo in their Autumn statement, have done their duty, they paid homage to the financial Mafia, and the financial mafia liked it. This millionaire duo, yes they are both millionaires, Sunak is in the £700 million bracket while Hunt gets by on approximately £14 million, have a plan. This plan is to raise taxes and cut public spending. How will this hit you and I, well all the economic and financial experts state that it means that we will be approximately 7% poorer by the next two years. So you think times are tough now, well just imagine being 7% poorer, not a pleasant thought. Of course our Sunak/Hunt duo with their plan will not feel the pinch, cushioned as they are by their ill-gotten millions, how else do you gather millions, certainly not by the sweat of your brow.
 
         Well there you have it, the plan for the UK, increased poverty for the ordinary people of this country, just to please the financial Mafia and their cohorts. So we can just tighten our belts and knuckle down and accept what is being heaped on us. Or we can take to the streets, display our anger and contempt, take mass strike action, organise together to end this plundering of the ordinary people to suit the fat cats of this festering cancerous economic system of insanity and greed.

Mutual Aid.

 

           Our Health Service and care facilities are a shambles, creaking at the seams underfunded, over worked. The reason is that they are tied to the state and capital, imagine a health service free from the constraints of state and capital. Imagine a health service run by health professionals and their patients. In a society based on mutual aid and co-operation it would all be possible. As long as we run our society on a system of profit, it will remain impossible. The choice is ours, continue being the slaves to the financial Mafia, live with broken health care, poverty and an eternal struggle for a decent life, or through solidarity and mutual aid break free from this insane, unjust system that caters for the rich and powerful. The choice seems a no brainer.

A Plan!!

           Everybody agrees that we are heading for the harshest attack on our living standards in a generation or more, and most will appeal to our local lords and masters to sort it out. Of course to get your vote they will make all sorts of promises, but the truth is there is nothing they can do to avert this tsunami of poverty that is going to hit the ordinary people. The reason being is that it is not a local event, it is a world wide catastrophe, also it is not an unavoidable event some accident of fate, nor is it an act of God. It is a well thought out and planned set of circumstances, laid out at the last Davos gathering and engineered by the big boys in the financial Mafia. A world wide design to recapitalise the insane system of global capitalism. For years now the financial Mafia has been flooding the system with phony money at very low interest rates, Quantitative Easing, and the big business world jumped at the bonanza building up massive debts. Too much junk money floating around and too many over valued shares. To over come this problems for the Financial Mafia in this greed fest, the only answer they know is to raise interest rates.
         What will follow is mass defaults, bankruptcies, evictions and repossessions and raging inflation as business try to stay afloat. In the global corporate business world only the biggest and strongest will survive. What this translates into in our world of ordinary people, is unemployment, a slashing of social services, cost of living nightmare and the vicious claws of poverty visiting each and every home of the ordinary people. A tidal wave of physical and mental health problems, our kids potential stunted, a collapsing health service and failed education system, our elderly dying much earlier than they would normally.
 

        Appealing to the puppets of this system, our local governments is pissing in the wind, they are part and parcel of this nightmare as they are the managers of the system at our level, the puppets of the financial mobsters that control the global money system. Our only hope is solidarity of the ordinary people, across all borders of on this planet. To organise in bringing down this system of greed and profit for the few. Coming together to create that better world based on mutual aid, sustainability, respect for all humanity, freed from the profit motive and based on seeing to the needs of all our people. Time is running out, if the present set of circumstance does not get you angry and on the streets, your kids and grand-kids can look forward to a heritage of abject poverty in the midst of opulence. The choice is our, it is their world or it is our world, we are on opposing sides, there is no in between fence sitting, you fight or your surrender, you struggle for that better world or you capitulate to abject poverty, the life of a serf.


 The following is an extract, the full article is well worth a read.

 Deleveraging the bubble

           With the Fed now imposing a Quantitative Tightening, withdrawing tens of billions in bonds and other assets monthly, as well as raising key interest rates, financial markets have begun a deleveraging. It will likely be jerky, as key players like BlackRock and Fidelity seek to control the meltdown for their purposes. But the direction is clear.
           By late last year investors had borrowed almost $1 trillion in margin debt to buy stocks. That was in a rising market. Now the opposite holds, and margin borrowers are forced to give more collateral or sell their stocks to avoid default. That feeds the coming meltdown. With collapse of both stocks and bonds in coming months, go the private retirement savings of tens of millions of Americans in programs like 401-k. Credit card auto loans and other consumer debt in the USA has ballooned in the past decade to a record $4.3 trillion at end of 2021. Now interest rates on that debt, especially credit card, will jump from an already high 16%. Defaults on those credit loans will skyrocket.
         Outside the US what we will see now, as the Swiss National Bank, Bank of England and even ECB are forced to follow the Fed raising rates, is the global snowballing of defaults, bankruptcies, amid a soaring inflation which the central bank interest rates have no power to control. About 27% of global nonfinancial corporate debt is held by Chinese companies, estimated at $23 trillion. Another $32 trillion corporate debt is held by US and EU companies. Now China is in the midst of its worst economic crisis since 30 years and little sign of recovery. With the USA, China’s largest customer, going into an economic depression, China’s crisis can only worsen. That will not be good for the world economy.
         Italy, with a national debt of $3.2 trillion, has a debt-to-GDP of 150%. Only ECB negative interest rates have kept that from exploding in a new banking crisis. Now that explosion is pre-programmed despite soothing words from Lagarde of the ECB. Japan, with a 260% debt level is the worst of all industrial nations, and is in a trap of zero rates with more than $7.5 trillion public debt. The yen is now falling seriously, and destabilizing all of Asia.
        The heart of the world financial system, contrary to popular belief, is not stock markets. It is bond markets—government, corporate and agency bonds. This bond market has been losing value as inflation has soared and interest rates have risen since 2021 in the USA and EU. Globally this comprises some $250 trillion in asset value a sum that, with every fed interest rise , loses more value. The last time we had such a major reverse in bond values was forty years ago in the Paul Volcker era with 20% interest rates to “squeeze out inflation.”
        As bond prices fall, the value of bank capital falls. The most exposed to such a loss of value are major French banks along with Deutsche Bank in the EU, along with the largest Japanese banks. US banks like JP MorganChase are believed to be only slightly less exposed to a major bond crash. Much of their risk is hidden in off-balance sheet derivatives and such. However, unlike in 2008, today central banks can’t rerun another decade of zero interest rates and QE. This time, as insiders like ex-Bank of England head Mark Carney noted three years ago, the crisis will be used to force the world to accept a new Central Bank Digital Currency, a world where all money will be centrally issued and controlled. This is also what Davos WEF people mean by their Great Reset. It will not be good. A Global Planned Financial Tsunami Has Just Begun.

By Design?

     


        
           The economic hardship that is hitting the ordinary people, more or less across the globe, receives lots of explanations, from pandemic, supply chain break down, to the war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia. You can take you pick or pick and mix, but are you getting to the heart of the problem? Perhaps we can dismiss all these supposed reason and listen to top US economists and certain government officials, who seem to lay the blame at the workers feet, by stating wages are too high, and there is not enough unemployment. The chair of the Federal Reserve, one very rich, Jerome Powell, has openly stated that inflation is being caused by wages being too high, and economist and former Clinton aid, Larry Summers, claiming that the solution to the inflation problem is to increase unemployment to around 10%. With these guys of the financial Mafia calling the shots, don't expect austerity to disappear any time soon.
         Their answer to the aim of increasing profits is lower wages and increase unemployment. So are we here by design, incompetence by our lords and masters, or the inevitability of living with a greed driven, insane economic system that benefits the few at the expense of the many.
          Do we wish to be pawns in this economic gambling casino of the pampered parasite class. Can we hand this legacy on to our children and grand children? Surely they deserve better than this as their way of life. Their future is in our hands, we can sit back and let the leeches bleed us dry as we struggle from day to day in a perpetual spiral of increasing poverty. Or we can organise within our communities and workplaces to take control of our lives, and shape society to our desires of seeing to the needs of all our people. We have the ability, imagination and numbers to build that better society based on equality, free association, sustainability and mutual aid, a society where the world is our village and its population our brothers and sister, not our competitors.
          An American guy named Jefferson, you may have heard of him, once wrote, "when the government assaults the very liberties it was hired to protect, it is time to alter or abolish it." I would go for abolish as a start.

IMF.

          I have often spouted about the financial Mafia, whose members include, the IMF, (international Mankind Fuckers) World Bank, (Weasel Bastards) and ECB, (European Criminal Brigade), these corrupt, wealthy and powerful groups dictate to nation states how they should manage their financial affairs, and it is always in favour of the big corporate pillagers and plunderers of the world. We can parade and march, protest and shout at our national governments, but they are just the managers of the financial Mafia's plans. The real power lies not in your council or parliament, but behind closed doors in the marble halls of of the financial moguls, whose plans have brought countries to their knees and populations into a world of starvation and deprivation.

        Until we grasp this fact we will be chopping a few leaves of the poison tree, it is the root we have to attack. No easy matter, but it is the only answer to end this system of economic insanity that feeds and fattens the vultures while starving the children

Anger!

 
     Day by day, drip feed by drip feed, we the ordinary people of this country learn the force of the kick in the teeth we are about to receive from this capitalist system. The latest detail is the rise in interest rates. It might not seem much, but could be enough to push those on the edge over into the poverty bin. Mortgages could increase, interest on you credit card, any future HP you might feel you need to take on, any loans you may find yourself forced into, will in all probability cost you more.
       Of course the big one is the increase in energy bills, that thing that no home can live without. The increase is going stratospheric. No matter the sticking plaster or paracetamol the government offers, it will not be any where near enough to eliminate a massive increase to your bills.
      Then there is inflation in general, sending food prices, among other day to day necessities, through the roof. Trying to put food on the table never mind trying to cook it, will an impossible task for thousands. Just to add a little bit more pain to that kick in the teeth, those working families who are at the moment just about managing, will now be hit with an increase in National Insurance, over and above those just mentioned.
This July 2021, before this latest attack on living standards of ordinary people.  

Glasgow.
 
            Now, if that sort of unjustified pain doesn't make you angry, what will? This pain is being planned and administered by millionaires, who will probably be unaware of what their energy bills are and care even less. Some will take off to their luxury extra home somewhere in the warm sun, or take their yacht to the Mediterranean for a wee break. They will have no need what so ever to change their way of living, they live in a land of plenty. They don't feel that pain, they administer it, without a care in the world.
       So you are angry, who will you direct you anger at, the local council, mere pawns in the game, who are legally bound to do the dictate of the government. So the government, well they are just the managers of the system, they follow the instruction of the financial Mafia, that is where the power lies. That gang of mobster who go under different flags, but belong to that one clan, the corporate financial Mafia. The main gangs being the IMF sometimes called the International Monetary Fund, but in reality, the Internation Mankind Fuckers, the ECB, know as European Central Bank, real name Eternal Money Bastards, and the Davos Club, the place where the rich and powerful meet up to decide the best way to exploit the world's people and resources to create greater profit to be split among themselves. They all come together under the banner of corporate capitalism. Until we smash that organisation, we are at the mercy of the financial Mafia. 
      Take what you get or fight back. Organise your communities in conjunction with other communities, not to ask nor demand, please can we have some more, but to take control of you communities resources, in solidarity with all other communities. Every brick, every house, every boat ever built was built by your hands, every piece of equipment every item transported was made and transport by you, it all belongs to you. Take it and use it to service our own people and see to the needs of all our people, with no place for profit, CEO and shareholders bonuses. It's yours by the sweat and blood of you and you forbearers. Nothing is gained by self contained anger, show it, direct it, along with solidarity, it is your righteous weapon.

A Sewer.


          With the leak of what has become known as "The Pandora Papers" nobody should be in any doubt that the entire system is stinking rotten to the core. It is not just the greedy individuals that are fiddling the system, but all the large so called respectable financial institutions that make millions from aiding and abetting the millionaire/billionaire class of corrupt blood sucking parasites by shuffling and concealing their ill gotten gains. The rich corrupt and the institutional corrupt work hand in hand and are the mainstay of this stinking system of greed. I received the following comment from my comrade Loam and I think it shows the extent and depth of the corruption that holds together this whole rotten edifice to greed. 

Meanwhile...

       "UK banks have been accused of ‘offering their services to those with money to hide’ after a leaked cache of thousands of documents revealed some of the world’s largest financial firms have facilitated criminals and fraudsters in processing dirty cash.
       More than 2,000 sensitive banking papers detailing more than $2 trillion’s worth of transactions were analysed by a consortium of investigative journalists across 108 organisations including the BBC after being leaked to BuzzFeed News.
        The documents allegedly show banking officials allowed fraudsters to shuttle money between different accounts after being made aware the profits were from multimillion-pound scams or crimes.
         They are also reported to detail the ways in which Russian oligarchs use banks to dodge international sanctions and move money into the west.
         Referred to as the FinCEN files — from the US Financial Crimes Investigation Network — the cache is mostly made up of documents banks sent to the US authorities between 2000 and 2017, raising concerns about suspicious activity in their clients' accounts, according to the BBC’s Panorama programme, which called the documents “some of the international banking system's most closely guarded secrets”.
        It added: “The leak shows how UK banks continually fail to address suspicious activity and instead offered their services to those with money to hide.
        “Transparency International UK's research has previously identified 86 UK banks and financial institutions which have, unwittingly or otherwise, helped corrupt individuals acquire assets and move suspicious wealth.”
 
 
         To those who take the time to look at the system, this should come as no surprise, we know it is a sewer, it is how the system works, pillage and plunder, fiddle and steal, unless you are one of the ordinary citizens, if you attempt this, then you end up being locked up in one of their cages of repression.

Eton Boy!

          I sometime find it difficult to express my loathing for the political ballerinas who dominate our lives while they prostitute themselves to the corporate world for a slice of the plunder, wealth and privileges gleaned from exploiting the ordinary people. Pampered, privileged parasites of the lowest order. This little video goes some way to describing my feelings for one particular political ballerina come member of the financial Mafia. Enjoy a moment of truth. Thanks Loam for the link.

Opinion.

My Humble Opinion From What I’ve Seen.
        Why I think protests against closures are bound to fail. Councils are by law prevented from running a deficit, they are compelled to balance the books, and the financial structure is engineered so that each year, because of inflation, rising wages (meagrely) maintenance and repairs etc. they have to make savings, “efficiency saving” which translates into closures and/or lay-offs of staff. Barmulloch community centre is closing, let’s suppose that the whole district mobiles to such an extent that the council concedes and keeps it open, it still has to look elsewhere to swing its axe to balance that inefficient budget. Should the council decide, to hell we will run a deficit for a few years and try and sort this out, then the government sends in its “managers” to run the city over the heads of the people. Remember Derek Hatton and Liverpool in the 80’s. 
  
 
     On a national government front, the game is rigged in favour of the large financial institutions who have the power to bring a country to economic disaster. Some 30 years ago approximately, these same financial institutions decided that privatisation was the best way to re-capitalise the system and more or less dictated to states that they had to follow this policy or find themselves outside the financial markets, economic doom. Of course they can force the issue in other ways, remember Greece 2010, Greece according to the EU financial mafia, was carrying too much debt, so sent in a team of their financial managers to sort it out, over the heads of the elected government, how it should be tackled, ordering the privatisation of lots of Greece’s profitable assets, altering labour laws etc. while loading them up with more debt, “the bailout”, so the privatisation policy continues merrily on its way. This debt of course has to be paid by the people. Some ten years on by 2017, unemployment in Greece was still at 22% and one third of the population still living below the poverty line, conditions haven’t changed much since then, this is how states repay their debt to the financial Mafia. You’re appealing to the minions who are forced to follow the rules set my the financial Mafia. They may now and again get some bubble gum and popcorn, but those who dictate the direction of the governments are sitting in their grand mansion counting their pieces of gold, and they like what they have and are not in any shape or form going to change the system that has given them such wealth, power and privileges. They will gladly bring down a country, should they not play be their rules. The UK is not immune, remember 16th September 1992, Black Wednesday? UK joined the European Exchange Rate against the wishes of the financial Mafia, who then engineered a fall of the pound to such an extent that the Chancellor raised interest rates three times in one day in an attempt to save the pound from becoming worthless, eventually gave up and withdrew from the European Exchange Rate. Privatisation is the direction set out and being implemented, and it is not going to stop because you shout at a councillor. Public assets will be disposed of one way or another, either by phoney community takeover or straight privatisation and placards are not going to stop the relentless march of the corporate world to gain all public assets of any worth.
        So what should we do? I suppose be anarchists and have one aim and one aim only, not to appeal to the system to be fairer, not to encourage people to follow a doomed path of asking to be treated fairly, but work hell for leather on destroying the system completely. The system will not change in any dramatic manner by dialogue, appeals and petitions, the system can cope very well with these methods of protest, and if the powers that be think these are getting too nasty for their liking, they have the armoury to stifle it, police, judiciary, prison system. 
           I tend to think that people of Peru and Colombia are getting close to the direction by burning police stations, banks, corporate buildings and looting supermarkets, but first you have to flood the streets with your anarchist ideas, literature, meetings, stalls etc. until there is enough of the population who have finally realised, the system has to be destroyed, not petitioned, if we want a free, fair, just, sustainable world, that sees to the needs of all our people.

Cashless.

         Covid19 has certainly been a great boon to the capitalist world, it has allowed the reshaping and refinancing of the crumbling capitalist model, leaving the bill for the tax payer, and as I have said before allowed the state to tighten its grip on the population. There is another opportunity that has been seized by the financial section of capitalism, the cashless society. The wet-dream of the financial gurus, and of the state has been a cashless society. Of course not in the same sense that anarchist/communists see a cashless society.  Transactions are much easier controlled if there is no physical cash to change hands. Much more efficient without producing all that moving around securely, producing and counting  paper and coinage. There will be no place to hide, we all need to purchase in this capitalist nightmare. The cashless society would mean that every financial transaction you make would be logged and stored in a computer somewhere, place, time, amount, all stored. There to be pried into, analysed and profiled along with your other actions from that massive intrusive array of surveillance apparatus that surround us all. 

 

        The pandemic was the golden opportunity to make cash infectious, dirty, much better and safer to use contactless cards. This moves on to the next money saving exercise, the end of the ATM machines, why maintain and service all those devices if the bulk of the population just wave a card to pay for everything, plus the line that is pushed, everybody now purchases on-line. Then of course, no cash deposits or withdrawals, so why have all those people sitting around in those nice banks dotted around you cities and towns, you can do it all on line.  Of course the most vulnerable are the ones who depend most on cash in the hand, but to our financial masters, they are a negligible minority that can be taken out of any equation in their grand plans, superfluous to requirements. The cashless society is a blessing to the control freaks in state organisations and a must for the financial mafia in their drive for a totally controlled, world wide system, of financial control and manipulation. Because of the pandemic and the ensuing propaganda from the state and its coterie of parasite companions, we have allowed ourselves to quietly walk into their dream, a world under their total control. One world, one open prison, with no escape route, except revolution of course.

Screw You.

        So now the wee hints are being dropped, with the Chancellor stating that hard times are ahead, suggesting a freeze on public sector wages, the inevitable cut to services and an increase in taxes, he did however, say that there would be no return to "austerity". Though in my book if it looks like austerity, smells like austerity and hurts the general public like austerity, then it is austerity. Having handed the large corporations and their business buddies, billions of pounds in handouts, and handed out lucrative health related contracts to non-health business pals, they now turn round and tell you and I, that we are the ones who will have to pay back all that money to the money lenders of the financial Mafia, apparently it is "our" debt. You have to hand it to them for their blatant two fingers to the public, while announcing these pictures of a brutal future of wage freezes, increase taxes for us, he has just announced the largest increase in military spending since the cold war. They know whose side their on, do we?

      Their sacred economy is all that matters, big business corporations must be rescued and protected come what may, as for small businesses, they can go to hell in a handcart and the public can go with them. Welcome to state/corporate fascism.
