Power. And How it is Wielded

Imagine you hold a high seat in power. Then separately consider the following two scenarios:

1) One day you are accused of a very serious crime. Which you know you did not commit. And it looks certain the accuser is going to succeed in the frame up. Would you use your position of power to get yourself off? That is would you get yourself off even if that meant using corrupt means such as calling in favours with the judiciary, DPP, home office or police? You may not have to sink that low, but you may have to to mitigate the injustice and you would use your power for as far as it didn't make matters worse. You might do it if the rest of your life might be ruined if you did not use your power.

2) Same scenario, except this time, you did commit the crime. Isn't it true that you would absolutely 100% use your power to get off the hook, without a second thought. You have knowingly commited a crime. Why hold back now?

The second scenario is what I think we're seeing with the appalling protection of criminals at the BBC, in government offices, the judiciary, police force and so on. Even corporate power is a perpetrator of corrupt power.

Power always corrupts. I realise this is a way overused phrase. But it's not even that there's a tendency for power to corrupt. There are no exceptions to the rule is what I'm saying.

If you get power, you have to be on constant guard. Because you will eventually become a perpetrator. How can I be so sure? I've seen it many times with my own eyes as an elected member and from within the network I nurtred over several decades. With my own eyes - primary evidence.

So what's the remedy? Never accept a position of power. Leave that to the lesser and more insecure mortals. Sure, this means inevitable systemic problems. Well these things happen already while you try so hard to fix them, right?

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

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. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. 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 United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

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...
