Tomorrow Decides Who Gets the Blame for the 2026 Great Recession

Tomorrow, the UK electorate will be voting. To decide on who gets the blame for the 2026 Great Recession. 

The Recession vehicle is mortgages. The asset is real estate. The net affect will be 30% correction in house prices overnight. And either 1) government bailing out all single homeowner mortgagors or 2) 1 in 10 families losing their homes and families. More likely a bit of both.

By the end of 2026 we forecast the economies of the western world will have collapsed, so that they're in a position to recover from the past 20 years, and re-establish themselves for the next 20.

Whichever party wins the 2024 election will bear the brunt of blame in 2026 for causing the recession. It will not have been their policies which caused it but the majority who elected them. Nevertheless, this majority will blame the incumbents for the recession. To such an extent that another snap rejection will be forced onto the government and the other side of the Uniparty will be back in power.

Notice how housing comes up with high visibility in all manifestos on the ballot. Yet no one dares talk about restitution. Only jealousy of wealth and punishment of those who have a lot of it. Never a root cause analysis of periodic recession in spite of huge productivity. The biggest driving factor in global finance will escape.

How come? There are 27 million households in the UK. Each with 2.2 votes - an overwhelming majority. Democracy is a sham. The reality is this so called one man one vote is about getting rent and hanging onto it in spite of the consequences. Be that by getting a mortgage or buying second homes. Or beyond that trading in derivatives and securities which follow housing indirectly, AKA global finance. Which is largely monopoly profits, or economic rent, which eventually  ends up coming out of land values anyway. Only a fecund householder and voter knows this intuituvely and will never adopt any other investment policy. The feckless homeowner who does not have this wisdom and authenticity should be seen as no better than a gambler who's family should divorce him and put as much distance between them and him as possible.

For the candidates, it's forbidden to discuss homeownerism. It will make you unelectable for the reasons above. Discussing the eminent possibility of solving most large scale economic and financial problems is not on the table if you want to be elected. So do not blame the politicians it's You the house buyer who in the final analysis decides and has the real power. And the majority of you will vote for homeownerism as normal. This election is no different.

This is great news for Landlords like me. Tomorrow will be an entertaining day to observe. That is, how intensely will homeowners vote for rent this time, notwithstanding where they stand politically? Whichever way it swings is irrelevant to the economy. Whichever way it goes will be driving rental values anyway. I will observe the entertainment while smoking cigars.

Be authentic, and live.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
