The Rise of Corporate Landlords.

 It seems over in America there are strange goings-on in the housing market. A global corporation called BlackWater is buying up houses at a phenomenal rate. Not only is this snatching houses from normal people, but the corporation has the ability to pay over the odds if necessary (which it is), thereby inflating the price of houses and the US housing market in general.

Now, from what I can see this has no happy ending. Not for US house buyers who have to pay artificially inflated prices for the house of their dreams, but also in the long term. Because take the fact that a large proportion of houses in the US will become rental properties, but also those that have been able to buy their house are sitting on an inflated asset. Hopefully the value of the house will keep rising and cancel out the inflated element of the price they paid. Hopefully.

I assume that Blackwater sees housing stock as better than stocks when it comes to investment. Not only do you own an asset, but you have the ability to rent it out and generate revenue all the time you own the asset. With stocks and shares you only own the share and it only generates income if it rises in value. You can't rent it out. 

Well, someone in the city hasn't yet found a way to rent out shares. Yet.

Here in the UK, I'm getting similar signals from the housing market, but whoever is buying up relatively expensive houses and renting them out en-masse is keeping pretty low-key. But it is happening, adding about 5% or more to UK to house prices.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but some would say that this is part of the great reset, where you own nothing and all your money goes to the corporate state. 

Sounds like Fascism to me.

Considering what's happing in Austria and Germany regarding mandatory vaccinations with no choice or consent, it sounds like they've got the hop on all the other countries regarding our future. 

It seems we're looking at a no choice, no ownership, no consent, no free will sort of future. Yep, sounds like Fascism to me.

Are The Far Left Useful Idiots For The Big Corporations?

 I was recently mulling over the rise of cancel culture. I have seen several times where leftist organisations, whether it be media, special interest groups or political organisations tend to work in concert to promote a narrative. 

The actions against Project Veritas for instance are interesting because the lawsuits that PV are laying out to various organisations should bring to light where the narrative is coming from through disclosure requests. 

But it's a classic case: Journalist works alongside special interest group to create a narrative against PV, special interest group releases report and journalist cites special interest report in article mere hours later.

It's a neat circle. But who actually instigates that narrative? Who instructs the special interest group and then tips off the journalist? Who is actually at the top of the pyramid?

Increasingly the narrative benefits big corporations. 

The vitriol against Brexit was a classic case. Brexiteers were all branded Racists by the opposition, with no evidence. Just based on a narrative created from where? Before the Brexit referendum, Brexiteers were referred to as "Little Englanders". But once the threat against the status quo became real, the pejorative moved up a notch to "racist".

We see it elsewhere to. Against immigration? "Racist".

Against lockdowns? "Vaccine Denier".

Sceptical on Global Warming? "Climate Denier".

Yes, let's take climate change as an example. I'm sure the same corporate interests are pushing that agenda too. Greenpeace, the bastion of environmentalism went corporate years ago. The U.N. is also full of corporatists pushing the corporatist agenda. I do not trust any of them. But it's nothing new as the higher ups in corporations have always taken well-paid senior roles in NGOs.

I can't understand how saving the planet is about consuming more. Throw away your petrol cars and buy electric. Electric cars that you don't fully own because the corporation owns the software that controls it. Want an update, then behave and don't modify your car. Want to modify it to get more power? Then don't expect software support. Just lease the car and don't own it. Just one more step to owning nothing.

It's funny how 20 years ago the left were dead against the corporations, but are now it seems are controlled by them. It's a shame the leftists themselves can't see it. They are now footsoldiers for the one-world corporate governance and the great reset. 

I see very few people on the left enlightened enough to see this and call it out. Mainly because they are drowned out by the acolytes, the worshippers for the corporatist religion. 

Cancel culture is another facet of this, being used to target and de-platform individuals that go against the narrative. 

This subversion is clearly shown in the "occupy" movement and how that was subverted by corporatists afraid of such a movement causing problems for the elites of the world. The Socialist redistribution of wealth demanded by occupy has been subverted so that rather than the elites paying more tax, the burden for tax to finance initiatives like climate change has actually fallen on the poorest in society. 

"Beware what you ask for" is probably a salient phrase for most of the leftists ideology, because it seems that they are being used as a tool to further agendas that favour the elites.

But they are not yet enlightened enough to pick up on the fact that wherever they demand is being used and mis-used to further corporatist interests. More interested in the object than the outcome, once someone gives in they see it as "job done", no matter how skewed the outcome eventually becomes, or how badly it affects those with most to lose. i.e. the poor.

Take fracking as another example. Fracking could provide cheap energy for the poorest in society, but the useful idiots in the anti-fracking movement have been very successful at closing fracking down in the UK. Thereby pushing up the price of gas and thereby the profits for the big energy corporations. 

The Trans lobby has destroyed women's rights in the West. No longer can women win at their own sports, because trans athletes demand equal access to female sports. Without a hint of irony and ignoring reality and science the trans lobby have denied any physical advantage over biological women. 

I could say that most of these protestation are made by the Middle and lower upper classes. The middle-managers gluing themselves to roads for insulate Britain and the upper-class kids playing activist for extinction rebellion.

All of this leftist bollocks has to stop. The people within the various left-leaning lobby and interest groups need to understand the damage they are doing to democracy. They need to understand that inadvertently (for the most part) they are ushering in a new age of corporatist controlled authoritarianism. Otherwise known as Fascism.

The Rise of the Corporates: Fascism in a Velvet Glove.

Very slowly and gently, over the past 5 decades or so, the big corporations have taken over the world. 

This is just not evident from the current debate about Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google manipulating the debating space, but it's been going on for decades with the big arms corporations, the petrochemical industry, the city traders and the banks.

Once the corporations attain critical mass and a percentage of the country becomes dependent on their industry, then governments become sensitive to their requests. It's a pretty damn obvious statement really: the corporation become big enough to influence a proportion of GDP, the government is going to bend over backwards to avoid losing that revenue.

And this is where the corporate power has risen from. Such that certain corporations can dictate to HMRC how much (if any) tax revenue they will pay to government. With us normal plebs, it's the other way round: HMRC tell you.

Now they have control of public debate in the form of the online tech Giants, the machinations of the big corporates is more public than ever. Yet government seem powerless to enforce some sort of moratorium or enact legislation to protect free speech.

In fact we're seeing a movement of young people cosseted by the corporate cabal that actively protest AGAINST free speech! They might think they are independent thinkers, but when you trace the tenuous lines back to the source of the money that props them up, it ALWAYS links back to the big corporations or their owners. The obvious name seemingly with fingers in dozens of anti-democratic corporatist authoritarian "peoples" movements is of course George Soros. Yep, the guy that almost bankrupted the UK during the ERM fiasco.

If only those independent thinkers would look up the dictionary definition of corporatism..

corporatism

NOUN

1. the control of a state or organization by large interest groups.

   "fascism was the high point of corporatism."

That last statement hits the nail on the head. The level of control the corporations have over the state, their ability to stand up against the democratically elected government, the influence they have directly over normal people, is tantamount to Fascism. Especially this new wave of authoritarian corporatism, encapsulated by the extinction rebellion and the push to prevent Brexit and gain freedom from the antidemocratic EU.

 

These are indications of the way the corporates want things to go in the future: no borders, no barriers to global trading, one world government, one currency, no dissenters, no free speech, no pointing out the strings being pulled around the world.

 

This is fair warning as to what awaits the young if they keep doing what they are told and don't start to think for themselves.

 

All those cosy benefit you get with Apple products, while surfing the web checking Facebook and posting YouTube videos while drinking your coffee from Starbucks whilst protesting that the government should have more control over what people do and calling for an end to hate speech....

 

All of those are leading you into an authoritarian, fascist world of the future.  Don't blame us oldies for ruining your life. We voted to leave the EU so we could get away from corporate control of politics and the appointed crony commission. We wanted freedom, you want the opposite.

 

 

 

 

Anti-Democracy: The Pressure Fabricated Outside Democracy

We all (hopefully) know what a Non-Governmental Organisation or NGO is.

If you don't they are generally general charities, health charities, media outlets or political organisations that "advise" government on areas of special interest. They may be funded entirely by charitable donations, they may be funded by private donations, they may be funded by the UK government, or they may have a mix of any or all of the above.

If you do a Google search for Non-Governmental organisations, you'll get a list of the most lovely and benign organisations going. But you'll not get a list of the most influential NGOs. Not the ones that can click their fingers and watch the government ask how high would you like us to jump.

For instance Oxfam. They work outside the government and take donations from private individuals, but government may fund them in times of crisis to provide aid. They are a foreign company and so are outside the remit of the charities commission. They do however have an arm that campaigns and lobbies/advises government on aid and poverty.

The thing to note is that Oxfam has moved beyond charitable works and providing aid and now invests time and money in political lobbying.

Not just Oxfam, but the RSPCA, RSPB, The Qulilliam Foundation, HopeNot Hate, Common Purpose, etc.

There is a huge strata putting pressure on the government on behalf of special interests, mainly in direct conflict with the democratic will of the people. Just look at Brexit.

Hope Not Hate snapped their fingers and Tommy Robinson  was almost instantly removed from Facebook and Instagram. That's quite a lot of influence. Not that they really needed much to Ban Tommy. I just think HNH just provided the excuse.

This is typical of many NGOs, where the political aspect is now a large part of the organisation. In fact there are many NGOs where their remit is "education" and "political lobbying" and "advising government".

I put those attributions in inverted commas, because those labels are not strictly true. There are many NGOs that seem to have an impressive amount of leverage on government and MPs and Civil Servants in Ministerial departments pay an inordinate amount of attention to what they say. They also have an inordinate amount of influence amongst private companies too.

There are many NGOs that are politically active. They produce reports that governments and private companies act upon. It's amazing though how the government and these NGOs work in collusion. For instance an NGO may produce a report that then they use to put pressure onto government and then the government produces some for of legislation to address the "problem" the NGO has highlighted. Totally outside the democratic process: the people didn't ask for the legislation, didn't want it, but it gets pushed through anyway. It is never a part of any manifesto that is voted on, nor do MPs go back to their constituency parties to get a consensus. Just as with Tommy Robinson's banning, the NGOs provide the impetus and the excuse for the actions of government. Action that the public have not asked for.

It's all one jolly circular, anti-democratic club: require the legislation, get an NGO to provide a report providing positive bias, get the media to create positive pressure and then the government enacts legislation. Without ever seeing a manifesto or a democratic vote. Cosy.

However, this influence is outside of the democratic process. Decisions are being made by government based on information and political pressure not from the Demos: the people, but instead organisations outside the democratic sphere. Just as with the EU we have no way of voting these influencers into or out of power.

They are just there, funded by god knows who. The George Soros funded Open Society Foundation (quite an innocuous title) is one such NGO (amongst other George Soros funded NGOs) that has a quite incredible amount of influence due to it's incredible amount of funding. It has influence in government, with newspapers, TV and other media, news outlets and other NGOs. Not just in the UK but across the West.
What they say is taken as gospel and regurgitated almost word-for-word by the media. Any report they publish directly influences rather than advises government.

This outside pressure on government is what is putting the anti-democratic pressure on government.

It's what has changed government policy from Brexit meaning leaving the EU AND the Customs Union AND the Single Market that we were promised before the referendum, to Brexit means a deal, the backstop, and staying in the Customs Union at all costs.

The people didn't ask for a deal. They didn't ask for Brexit to be thwarted by a backstop. They voted for the thing we were promised before the referendum: OUT of the EU, OUT of the Customs Union and OUT of the Single market.

This pressure outside of democracy has to be pushed back. It's the beginning of Fascism. We cannot elect these "influencers" in or out of office. Once a government has been elected, these influencers have 5 years to ply their trade.

Currently that trade is shutting down free speech, shutting down the public's ability to inform other members of the public about the affects of the undue influence these organisations have on our lives.

The pressure and the collusion between Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube amongst private media companies and the BBC, Sky and other media outlets the deplatform, un-person, smear and lie, all at the behest of undemocratic Non-Governmental pressure groups has to be resisted on all sides of the political spectrum, before we ALL lose our democratic voices.

This is not a left/right thing, even though the left has been co-opted to do the dirty work of the Fascists.

This is a democracy thing, it's a free speech thing, IT'S A FREEDOM THING!

I believe in the honesty of to Demos, the people, the population. They make more honest and rational decisions than any politician or political activist group.

The Brexit referendum proved the point: that the people wanted out of the globalist anti-democratic EU. They public at large have a great sense of fair play and honesty and they saw the EU as anti-democratic and dishonest.

The public are fast understanding the anti-democratic pressure that is influencing government against their best interests. The public are calling "it" the Elite.

Hopefully they will wake up and realise that the status quo in government has to change in order to effect change. People need to stop voting for the same old political parties that listen intently to the anti-democratic Elitist message. Instead we need to start voting for something new, something untainted by the Elite.

The list of organisations founded or funded by George Soros is staggering, especially when you see how many times they pop up in the media to be quoted, or to front a spokesperson, or have produced a report highlighted by the media. Those few organisations are in the forefront of the anti-democratic process.
