It's a plant!  There's a big recession coming - house prices as always. Mortgages being the vehicle. Get out now before it's too late and buy gilts, the capital gains are tax free! When the QE and a crash in the base rate everywhere comes to the rescue of hundreds of millions of homeowners around the world, gilts will boom by at least 50% as they suddenly become super valuable.  Gold will fall. And bitcoin. It's not clear by how much. All you can say about those losses is that they most come out of the gains in gilts in the end. Where else? The original Bitcoin protocol will come to the fore in the rescue plan of every state but you won't see it, you won't need to. It will just work as an enormous labour saving device, carrying the line of productivity back above the line of rent - starting the recovery. The economy will start to recover once again, as expected, as seen a hundred times, by those who care to look at what happened the last hundred times. These one...

I say: "It's all entertainment, bread and circuses, distraction, propaganda. When will you so called 'people' start to care more about the big problems you are hiding from while you blame wealth and power like spoiled children?" A general election could see Restore Britain coming to the fore...very quickly indeed. Will Starmer call it. Will the King. The party? You may not see this, but all of wealth and power will be looking toward the people for direction now. With extreme care. Restore Britain already has activity in enough constituencies to win. Not for certain, it will be a long shot if they go for it, and under these historic circumstances a distinct possibility. Not to mention latent yet energised support who will quickly make a stand without needing persuasion. The attempt to crush an ancient civilisation is never taken lightly should the usurpers allow its followers to survive. Will the 'invaders' trying to crush the nation be spared? History show...

AI, though a much faster search engine, has become fast enough for us to realise that things are not invented by individuals. We build our new devices based on the shoulders of what is previously held in common by all. When I create a new word, or arrange existing words in a new order, do I own the new order of these words? The law says yes. I'm going to show you how that law is unjust. That is, copyright, patents and trademarks are inherently unjust law in action. And the advent of AI has enabled this wisdom to emerge. Everything is built on a past idea which is already recorded in history. Use Grok to find out about something or other. Do it often enough and you will find out about something apparently new. Really find out. What you have just found out will appear incredible. Occasionally it will be the first time anyone has found out about this new thing. But all Grok is, is a search engine on steroids. Hyper useful, yes.  What you did with your research, using Grok,...

We are all playing a game which in public we refuse to admit we're playing.  We all know the rules and fully accept them in the game.  The rules are to scam your neighbours to get on in the world. And we all carry it out willingly by any means and at scale, i.e. nationwide activity by all, all people are partaking in it, politically there is no difference between the winners and losers and how they play the game In the end, some households win and some lose.  For the winners the true reason for their win was that they were better players in the scam - effectively they took the rules and used them to deliver 'success'. For the losers that they were worse players.  The winners totally accept all of this. The losers are totally unable to accept any of this. Everyone took part willingly, knew the rules and were totally aware of the consequences of winning and losing, a priori. For an outside observer such as an alien, there is no escaping this observation. The winners be...

We often talk about how poor the quality of leadership is these days. We put it down to the possibility that the best leaders keep well away from the job for good reason - because the people they will have to work with are so bad.  I disagree with this analysis, not least because it's circular reasoning - "we get bad people because bad people are here". This kind of view is also bad because it insists that wealth and power are to blame as a way to help me to escape from my own individual complicity - very poor expert help. Still, it goes much deeper than even this though. The quality of leadership in the world sitting in the highest seats has descended to new depths because "I" deliberately refuse to elect and select the best to lead. The electorate and what have you, refuse to elect the good people, deliberately, and this is why we're now seeing such poor quality leadership on the 'front benches'. It has nothing to do with evil people st...
