M.I.5 Online Psy-Ops in Play.

I've been online for the best part of 40-odd years. If you think that's impossible, I was actually online at college back in the early Eighties in the days of teletype, using Open University servers.

Then came bulletin boards, accessed by modems from home. Oh, the convenience of technology. 

Then came UseNet, the online equivalent, accessed by internet connections, accessed on a pay-per minute basis.

I pre-date the World Wide Web and direct internet connectivity by decades when it comes to online usage.

Then the WWW came and as a tool for influencing the public, it was a game-changer. Don't get me wrong, Bulletin Boards and UseNet were hotbeds of conspiracies, but the World Wide Web brought those conspiracies into the mainstream, and with it the ability to manipulate various factions within the public.

Social Media has also had a huge part to play, crating "bubbles" of contact, within which ideas and opinions are kept in a feedback loop and extremely reinforced. During Covid, the intelligence elements went to work covertly manipulating groupthink in group chats and covertly requesting amplification of certain ideas and suppression of others. The latter only coming to light with the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk.

Which is how we get the extremism of opinions today. Whether on the left of politics which has the most rabid, slavish adherence to their orthodoxy, akin to a cult. To now the right wing wokeist element, that are now adopting extremist opinions of their own.

The right have been slow adopters of the type of Zealotry of the left, because they opine a more lessez-faire attitude, and the condensation of extremist ideology has taken a lot longer to form. 

One thing I've witnessed from day one of the internet, are the activists cajoling and caressing opinions. They are not immediately obvious unless to spend some time online. The more you watch, the more you seen the patterns, the cadence of words, the similarities. Being a computer nerd also allows you insight others cannot access.

The more you see, the more you understand. The nudges of certain people to become what they become. The Karens, the Far-Left cultists. 

You can see over the decades, the cultivation of the groups. Especially during the Covid crisis, where they were activated unlike previous activations. Opinions went off the scale in favour of oppression and authoritarianism.

Government agencies were very active in shaping public opinion by activating these cultish groups in favour of government policy. The intelligence services not only activated the groups through their various agents and proxies, they also monitored the effects. Where there was opposition to government edicts, they were quickly identified and stamped upon. 

M.I.5 and the assets at G.C.H.Q. were mobilised in a massive push to induce, indoctrinate and activate the rabid mob in order to quell opposition.

If you ever wondered how and why it went so far, that's your answer. The biggest Psy-Op in living history. Bigger than the Psy-Op that became the war on terror. 

This was a worldwide activation, where governments, even those normally in opposition, worked together. Governments that had vested interest in not revealing the truth.

Europe needed to quell the panic created by the massive number of deaths in Italy. It needed to downplay the effects of the virus and the panic within European governments. Revealed by the stupid decision to keep external and internal borders open.

America needed to hide their involvement in the funding of research in China. Research America had made illegal within it's own borders.

China needed to hide the fact they were working on bioweapons using funding from America and also that there was a leak from their laboratory in Wuhan.

The biggest indicator of this were the edicts coming out of The World Health Organisation. Like some broken A.I. (like HAL from 2001) the messages and the actions of the WHO made absolutely no sense without the knowledge that in the background, major governments were applying pressure to act in their political interests. Not at all in the interests of the World's health. 

Since Covid, the government agencies have not stopped. The various intelligence agencies got a huge boost in funding during Covid and as with all government agencies, once they have a certain level of funding, they are unwilling to give it up. Hence we have the various Psy-Ops in play at the moment. The Far-Right, The Online Safety Act, yadda, yadda. 

Right now it will not stop. But it needs to stop. Government manipulation of online spaces needs to stop.

It got to ridiculous levels now, witness the OFCOM letters to 4Chan and other non-UK companies. They are believing their own Psy-OP. 

That really is the time to call it quits guys.

Budget: Threat to Tax Homeowners on the Value of Their Property.

I've just heard on the Radio, the latest stupid idea considered by Labour as part of the budget. 

Taxing homeowners on the value of their property (theresholds vary).

Let's say your house is worth a million pounds. How did it gain that value? Did it attain those lofty heights through some magic?

No , it gained value through government policy. It's government policy that has not provided the new hoses that are required in order to keep the price of houses down.

So the first point against this "Wealth Tax" is it's highly immoral for a government to artificially inflate the value of an asset (your house) and then once it attains a certain value, to tax you on it.

The second point is that most houses are subject to a mortgage. i.e. you are actually in debt to the value of the house. It's in effect a negative asset. So is the government really saying they are going to tax you on the debt you owe? 

Not only that, you don't actually own a house while it's subject to a mortgage. The Bank or Building Society hold the deeds of the house until the mortgage is paid off. 

So is the government really going to tax you on something you don't actually own?

Is the government going to tax the lender and the occupier pro rata on what percentage of the house each owns? As an example, if you've paid off 20% of your mortgage, do you pay 20% of the tax payable and the lender pay the 80%? Who is going to work that out? How much will it cost the government to employ extra people to work that out?

If the government accepts the above and only taxes houses that are owned outright, don't forget that all other houses have increased in price at the same rate. So for instance you bought a house 10 years ago at £500,000 and it's now worth £1 million, ALL the other houses in the area have increased in price at the same rate. 

So the COMPARABLE VALUE hasn't actually increased. Yes the monetary amount is higher, but that amount only buys you the same asset.

Again, is it moral for the government to tax something that hasn't actually increased in value compared to similar assets?

Now, you could argue that if you buy a house for 50K, spend 5K doing it up and you sell it for 100K, then there should be a tax on the profit. But there already is capital gains tax, or corporation tax payable on that.

I could go on and on about the immorality of such a tax, how it is unworkable, how it would be expensive to administer.

There is talk of local councils administering the scheme, basically reporting property values back to HMRC. But that's an extra burden on local government for which they are not being paid. 

I wouldn't be surprised if local councils refused to administer the scheme. And I would especially expect Reform councils to refuse to comply. 

I Don't Really Know Where to Go With This.

I've tried to write this article several times, but there is just so much that is wrong in the UK right now economically, that I just can't write it. I end up spearing off in different directions, trying to right the many wrongs in the UK economy. But a bit of advice for Rachael: increasing tax on workers is not the answer.

It's not just taxation that is wrong-headed. It's also regulation, legislation, government policy, foreign policy, the whole shebang.

The decades-long experiment supporting global corporations and the globalist elites has failed. It's failed on several levels, not least it has failed to improve the living standards of the population of the UK. It has failed to provide the stability and security that allows a country to thrive.

Instead global corporations have pitted us against the slums of Mumbai in the race for the cheapest labour source.

Global corporations cynically use our open borders to employ illegal immigrants on below minimum wage pay to provide services and maximise profit inside the UK.

This is not capitalism, the is corporatism, in hand with government. It's essentially the definition of Fascism. 

The West is essentially a huge Fascist state. We tried to detach ourselves from it in 2016, but the Fascists in our own government keep trying to drag us back. 

In Europe now, we are seeing laws that make it illegal to criticise politicians. People are being arrested for calling politicians fat. That's a whole other level of censorship and authoritarian control, above criticising the importation of murdering, rapist immigrants.

There needs to be a massive divorce from Europe. We were a bastion against Fascism in the 40s. We need to be a bastion against fascism again.

Instead of printing money that devalues the pound within our borders, we need to stop it. It only inflates the value of assets like houses, that are so inflated right now, no-one can afford them.

We need to stimulate small-medium size investment inside the UK. It won't happen if the Bank of England keep printing money and keep devaluing the pound inside our borders. It won't happen if Government policy makes starting up a business hideously expensive. It just won't happen. 

We need to discourage foreign investment in areas that are detrimental to society, especially foreign investment in UK housing stock. We need to severely penalise corporate landlords that own non-commercial properties.. 

We need a government that works for the interests of the UK. 

Foreign Aid? It should only be used if there is some strategic benefit in applying it. We should be selfish when spending it as other countries are. What do we get back for our money? If it's just a salved conscience, then it's a waste of money. We want; no, we should demand influence and power for our money. We shouldn't be investing billions for nothing more than virtue.

But really the economy needs a fundamental reset. We have lost the mega industry that employed thousands and that paid billions in corporation tax. The high street, the local retailers that served the community are a dying breed. 

The current model, based on old-world economics, only allows the collection of that lost tax revenue from what is left after the collapse of large industrial companies. I.e. the middle and working class. Taxation has not developed to cope with the on-line world. Revenue raised by transactions with UK citizens should be subject to taxation within the UK. Companies already pay VAT. Maybe raise VAT for online transactions, raise VAT for imported luxury goods. Or maybe raise a new tax for online transactions with companies outside the UK. 

That's the sticks. But what about carrots? Let's give tax breaks for companies that train UK citizens rather than import foreign labour. Let's scrap the IR35 tax rules, so the jump from PAYE to self-employed is easier. 

Lets give tax breaks for start-ups. Lets reward those that take risks and/or invest in the future of the UK. 

Let's start aspiring, and stop just existing.
