Here we go again.......... Things just go from bad to worse. Much of it is the same for most people on the little island and indeed all over the world, but when there is just me, no family and no friends then you are at the mercy of the system. I have been banging the drum on the way the system was going for decades and everyone thought I was crazy. Even now most people have no idea the extent they are being manipulated and intruded upon but that is not the scary thing. No, the scary thing is that even with my imagination on overload I did not think it would be as bad as it is these days. I did not imagine that simple things would be criminalised, bank accounts plundered by the state and fines becoming a substitute for loans in the monetary pyramid scheme of the FIAT currency. The incredible thing is how stupid we all were. It didn't begin in 2008 with the banking crash, oh no, it began back in the 1980s with a long game strategy set in place. All it needed was the collective stupidity and compliance of a bewildered population. ...... That was easy. Gone were the times when you went into a store and just bought something, paid for it and went home. Back then you were asked for names and addresses, then telephone numbers which of course were for "warranty purposes", and the explosion of loyalty cards which tracked you purchasing trail and tied your credit cards purchases with your cash purchases with your name, address and telephone number as well as your email account. All this progressed and became the norm with just about everything you did and we all just accepted it, gave away our privacy to everyone who asked for it. As far as banking was concerned it was Leon Brittan who sold off half the gold reserves of the UK to pay off the debt we still owed from the first and second world war. I remember the headline that we were free of debt, and yet, not too many years later we are in more debt than if we had run both wars simultaneously for a hundred years. For what? Nothing. Corporate controlled media throw out divisive propaganda as they have done since the eighties, pitching one group against the other. I remember they attacked the fat cats, then single mothers, then the unemployed, then foreigners, then blacks, then whites, then cash-in-hand jobs, then tax evaders. All designed to destroy any coherence within the population. Everyone mistrusted everyone else, unless you were part of the clicky little group at the centre of things. Spool forward to the last decade and 9/11. This was a golden opportunity for some. How better to drive a stake into the heart of every nation and lap at the blood pouring from its wounds. I am not talking about the people who flew planes into buildings, I am speaking of those who took away your rights in the name of "security". Security for who? I do not feel safe. I do not feel protected. No camera stops me being attacked in the street or robbed. No camera stops my home being burgled and when it is the only response from the Police is to give a crime number for insurance. No one comes, no investigation is done. No one cares.
