Rising Wealth Inequality and the Growth of an Ecosystem of Fake

Image
Political forces at work at a national level were highly important in determining how incomes have become distributed after the major changes of the early 1980s in the English speaking economies. A universal trend of increasing inequality everywhere would be in line with the notion that inequality is determined primarily by global market forces and technological progress. However, the reality of two markedly different inequality trends, namely the “Anglo-U” versus the “Euro-L” suggests that institutional and political frameworks in different countries have played a substantial if not dominant role. In other words, inequality is not inevitable, it has in fact been driven by policies and actions. medium.com/@K_Gallowglaich/rising-wealth-inequality-and-the-growth-of-an-ecosystem-of-fake-104bae5e12d5 Many conventional City Tory economists will loath the sight of the two papers listed below. The second immediately signals criticism of Her Majesty Queen Thatcher, so will probably not be...

Getting BARXIT Done

Image
At least all the Projected Hot Air should start to die down and the IEA, ERG, Atlas and Heritage Foundations can start to complete their "Grand Projet" started all those years (decades) ago and we can all get some bloody peace and quiet.  Sir Antony Fisher, the godfather of the Atlas Foundation Network, was also the father of Linda Whetstone, who is now Chair of the entire 400+ "think tanks" of the Atlas Foundation. It's fair to say that Antony and his old gang of chums back in the 60s and 70s had some "unusual political opinions" and considerable and powerful international connections in certain areas related to security, political influence and finance. The Lovely Linda spoke most notably at the 1978 Tory Party Conference:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00kdpcx BBC - Adam Curtis, Linda Whetstone speaking at the Conservative Party Conference 1978 Linda Whetstone speaking at the Conservative Party Conference 1978 www.bbc.co.uk ...

Passports for Sale

Image
Part of the reason for many people's dislike and mistrust of the whole second nationality/second passport farce is down to this sort of Maltese/Cypriot/Moldovan/Montenegro "Global Citizen" farce. At last this deeply corrupt man and his gang of crooks are out. They have been selling European citizenship to anyone who can pay for a long time. A new government should ensure they go to jail. It is noteworthy that the BBC, including senior people such as the slightly dopey John Simpson and Jon "Trump's Mexican Wall" Sopel and several others have been soft-pedalling the disgusting story of Daphne Caruana Galizia's brutal murder for years and accepting appearance money. Not good. Naturally, those who enriched these crooks with "wealth" will have covered their tracks and removed themselves and most evidence a long time ago. Ernst & Young of course, one of the big four accountancy firms who will do almost anything for anyone for fees a...

Bernays - Propaganda - Needs Vs Wants

Image
The curse of consumer "Materialism" in the wealthier countries is allied to the need to keep producing and selling to "feed the system". That has now led to the end-game of approaching probable mass fiscal default. The numbers have grown and the monetary situation has backed itself into a corner. What else could have happened without a major shift? The debt arithmetic defines it. The only real question is how - deliberate or accidental. Trillions given to cheap-labour China for mostly shitty goods all in the name of "free trade" and profits to feed their nice little global domination expansion machine did not help. Freud's nephew Edward Bernays first understood how this started in his remarkable work "Propaganda". He knew it as the point when different groups, societies, countries, transition from NEEDS to WANTS. This tail-end of that system still needs people to buy and consume and must advertise that fact incessantly and without end. Th...

Libyan Refugees - Inflatables on Mediterranean

Image
If you have ever been on an "Inflatable" smaller than this when sea gets to Force 4, it's not pleasant. Over 1000 people since August 2019. The moves by Salvini and some in the Maltese/Greek governments to put up barriers and restrictions and even "let them drown" attitudes (oh yes) are short term. The only real solution is to improve conditions in places like Libya to allow these people to stay at home. No easy task, when countries are fucked over about hydrocarbons as Libya was, as Syria certainly has been, as Iraq definitely was. The war against the people traffickers is a losing one, according to understaffed Europol and the agencies dealing with this, but trying to get stability in the home countries and never letting up against those men is the only way. NO MORE OIL WARS! RENEWABLE ENERGY! With it's gas reserves managed and husbanded for good use and it's huge Solar Energy potential, Libya can be fantastic 10 years from now and no-one ...

Prince Andy-Panky

Image
After his recent pathetic BBC Interview with Emily Maitlis, Prince Andy-Panky was no doubt keen to get back to one of his many "Business Ventures" such as that involving Libyan gun runners, just one example of those facilitated through his links to Jeffrey Epstein and many others in that network. When the scrofulous Panky claimed he was at a Pizza Express party rather than boning the teenager (no doubt all on camera and sound) as she claims, I found it most amusing that someone had replaced the word (Lolita) with "Pizza". Most amusing. Hats off to the scriptwriter. Epstein was basically a highly intelligent deluded, half-crazy individual who was offered the opportunity to work in getting things done on the ground to create "Honey Traps" for a very wide variety of public figures, politicians and industrialists. He did not do it on his own. They do know how to pick them these Intel/Mafiosi outfits. They know the operator profiles needed. In addition...

The Political Party of the “Super-Rich”: Moscow Connections

Image
The British Conservative Party of the “super-rich” has clearly had an ongoing relationship with Russian money for many years and took almost half a million pounds in 2019 from just three wealthy individuals with close ties to Moscow (Ref. 2). Political donations in Britain need urgent reform. However, the financial support from Lubov Chernukhin (wife of Putin's ex Finance Minister), Alexander Termerko (ex Yukos oil man) and Vasily Shestakov are just the tip of a very large hydrocarbons-berg that has been growing for many years. Alex Nekrassov is a major player in London. The notorious 2013 Billingsgate fundraiser (Ref. 1) where Borisova, May and several others prostituted their Party was a ramping up of efforts. David Burnside (ex BA) has been heavily involved via his links to all sides, including the DUP who have been most supportive in recent times. For at least 10 years, Conservatives have regularly claimed that a wide variety of individuals prepared to pay are British citiz...
