Taking back control

It’s important at times to remember that we need ‘government’ to control those anti-social citizens in our midst who would take away all our civil rights.

Bet you never expected to see that as the opener to a Slogpost. But it has to be said: Homo sapiens is a dangerous species with recurrent homicidal and/or depraved tendencies.

So now, let me pose if you will a challenging question: what do you do as a concerned citizen when the very institutions you expect to protect you from psychos, bankers, market manipulators and pharma/climate emergency death merchants are actually those with the political and unelected power promoting the policies of psychos, bankers, market manipulators and pharma/climate emergency death merchants?

The original anarchist Kropotkin would probably have said, “Abolish all government”, but with a global population at 8.2 billion that’s obviously impractical.[My experience of families – both my own and those of others – is that somebody has to be “in charge” of tribal government even if the number is 8, let alone 8 billion].

I posted recently to suggest that – in my view – the role for anti-Establishment blogs, substacks , podcasts and news sites going forward [in short, the online digital Opposition] is to focus on merciless revelations about the shady opportunists at or near the Top Table…those who are busy feathering personal nests at the expense of our cultural survival as “civilised” citizens.

I stand by that.

But when it comes to going ‘off-grid’ in the [necessarily] secret and organised fight to stop the New World order achieving its Dark dystopian Age, don’t fool yourselves that it’s going to be a tickling contest.

The indefatigable observer Roger Lewis agrees with me that the digital world is now tosh; but we differ fundamentally about off-grid resistance, because Roger thinks the New Normalistas have already lost. Roger and I enjoy mutual respect as a solid platform of free thinking and debate, and I know for certain that he will relish the coming debate about off-grid because his mind is open, and he deplores the closed ranks ideologues.

He’s an admirable bloke, and funny with it. But his reformed P2P level web (while being exactly what’s required) is way beyond the understanding of the Man on the Clapham Omniphone.

(Feel free to come back at me on that one, Rog)

I, meanwhile, come back again to an ancient Slogarithm that I’ve held dear from the moment I started out on this [at the time] somewhat naive mission in 2004:

The only thing necessary for the triumph of Evil is for many good men to do nothing

Over the twenty years since then, far too many battles have been lost in favour of the Nosforatus as a result of voter apathy.

I catalogued this in depressing detail three days ago at The Slog.

I’m rapidly reaching the conclusion that conditioning citizens to the “wisdom” of ‘resistance is futile’ is now very much in play.

One is reminded of the Jewish joke about the SS Commandant – who, after the Anschluss with Austria gives the Nazis their Grossdeutsche Reich – lines up two Jews [Heimy and Abe] to be shot. He asks Heimy the Jew if he has any last requests, and Heimy says yes, I should like a blindfold.

And Abe says, “Heimy, how many times I have to tell you – don’t make trouble”

As for the online business of researching and destroying lickspittle collaborators on a regular basis, well….it’s not as if we only have a sub-atomic barn door to aim at, is it?

Let’s examine the pre-Starmer Tory Cabinet of Rishy Sunak….

Jeremy Hunt, James Cleverly, Michael Gove, Grant Shapps, Mel Stride, Nadhim Sahawi, Andrew Mitchell, Gavin Williamson.

But also very obviously (in the same order) worthy of the empirical descriptions below:

Educational online scammer and naked nepotist, Ministerial evader of justice, trougher and yet pigsty renter of foreign property, multiple user of online aliases designed to cheat investors, embezzler of Benefit funds via DWP, dubious liar about private education, poodle of Washington neocon policies, and Tory Party lobby-fodder bully.

Quite a line-up folks. My aim is not just to show what assholes these reprobates are, but also to name and shame who the Starmeramer incoming State WEFs and WHOs are – and why they will only accelerate the process of compliance with the utter lunacy of planetary monopolism.

Meanwhile, we Brexiteers [having been branded Little Englander old racist farts because of our opposition to the open borders Schengen thing] now discover that the Brussels mafia has, um, unhappened the Schengen thing. German leader Olaf Scholz (left) described the abandonment of open borders as “historic and indispensible”, adding that the volte-face reflected “total solidarity among all EU States”. Those naughty Germans and their blase attitude to borders, eh? “Let’s protect our Lebensraum und keep out ze Untermenschen rif-raf”. You couldn’t make it up…..cognitive dissonance on a continental scale. [Big hat tip here to the ever-watchful John Day substack.]

But if you want to really grasp the depth of grubby corruption at the heart of the EU, try this one for size from ‘Follow the Money”:

‘EU voters went to the polls in June. But more than a year after several of its (former) members were accused of being involved in a massive bribery scandal, dubbed Qatargate, questions remain on how well the institution is equipped to deal with occasions when its lawmakers break the rules – and it’s not looking good, an investigation by Follow the Money and media partners shows. The investigation reveals that almost a quarter of current EU lawmakers have been involved in scandals that hit the news or have outright broken the law – ranging from harassment cases to large-scale corruption.’

And don’t be conned into thinking this is something new….surely representingan irresistible segue into a nasty, bent Belgian who has featured in many a Slog demolition over the years: yes, it’s hello again to our old friend, Guy Verhofstadt

Looking a little the worse for wear these days but still sporting that groovy hairstyle – above the gap in his money-chomping teeth, there to increase his capacity for lying through said teeth – this is the exclusive Slogpost from July 2015 describing how our Guy flagrantly hid both his Greek and Ukrainian interests from the EU Parliament, media and Brussels authorities.

Always a chap ahead of his time, Verhofstadt was early into the ‘let’s bomb Russia’ Ukranian snake-pit at the same time as the EU plan to steal every State asset in Greece in order to dilute its sovereignty beyond recognition. Perhaps this was when he met chaps with names like Biden, Zelenskyy and others sharing his “democratic values”. Always judge folks by the company they keep, that’s my motto.

If we don’t keep the WHOs and WEFs and their allies under control in the future, the future will control us.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
