Bigger fleas with lesser fleas upon their backs to bite ’em

The Slog looks at factions, rivalries and hierarchies behind the New World Disorder

Another slice of proof in black and white that premium deals with blog platforms/ISPs about automatic alerts going out to followers are blatantly fraudulent - and obvious cases of quiet censorship. Slogger Ian writes about how he found my emails in his Spam folder, and was given this ''explanation'':

'For your security, we have disabled links in this email. Why is this message in Spam? We believe this message is spam as you marked previous messages from the same sender as spam. If you want to receive future messages from this sender, please mark it as 'Not spam'.'

Ian adds, ''For the record; I have never marked you as spam.''

Thank you, Gmail. Or put another way, Fuck you, Gmail.

But such is the iniquitous world we inhabit....''Do no Evil'' and all that. Meanwhile, back at the long-running Wise saga - and following letters to the Financial Conduct Authority - the Estonian bigwigs from Wise have changed tack on their refusal to give me my money back. It's a case, it seems, of ''Oh alright then if we must, but we are firing you - wait for it - because ''the way you used Wise goes against our agreements with you''.

Wise's disallowed uses can be found here. Needless to say, Wise declines to tell me which of these heinous crimes I committed. Equally obviously, I am innocent of all of them. Well, all except - ahem - I complained about them. Bad Slog. Naughty Slog. Down, Slog.

A previous Slogpost about Wise perfidy and general disorganisation evoked much debate, including this one from a Wise staffer:

'…..is it any wonder that things go wrong? Not really…..a couple of the Big Four banks in the UK have had enough. No more expats will bank with us.....'

This has been another episode in the long-running New Normal adage, 'Caveat Emptor'.

Writing to a close colleague yesterday, I opined:

'....the 7 in 8 aren't moved or impressed by logic, facts or common-sense dot joining....they respond solely to media they trust, the ''comfort blanket'' of the familiar and what for want of a better word they see as an authoritative source - the governmental, the respectable, the civil service, the medical profession, the media-trained pols and so forth. The petit and haute bourgeoisie seem almost unshakeable in their belief that the ruling classes are there to help them...'

John Day's excerpted Spartacus entry yesterday made exactly the same point:

'The biggest problem we have is that most people are not accustomed to the notion of a criminal government. Any serious analysis of the CIA's activities over the past several decades would inevitably lead one to the conclusion that our governments are so deeply entwined with organized crime, it's arguable that they function like legitimized criminal cartels..'

The Resistance to the brick by brick jerry-built theatre of Global Mammon will never become a deconstruction-focussed majority until we get defections from the captured institutions of civilised culture - The MSM, the Civil Police, the CID, Quisling MPs, Bidenite pervert-fascists, pro-EU Remoanoids, the Armed Forces, our judiciaries - and regional leaders (like Oban in Hungary) tough and grounded enough to take on the goose-stepping blocists of the European Union of Communist Neocons [Eurocons].

I sincerely that this scopes out the gargantuan nature of our task to the forever overconfident sofa-dwellers.

The congruence of cheating - by ISPs, banks, health bureaucrats, the Unelected Surveillance State, and the Fourth Estate demonstrated in those opening three sub-sections - is that all of them lack prosecutors, and yet all of them have predators who demand obedience.

It's an odd, almost counter-intuitive conclusion....but it's irresistible: they are all answerable to giga-investment houses applying pressure on behalf of - not the military > industrial complex condemned by Eisenhower - but the Pentagon > Wall Street > Silicon Valley phalanx we see before us sixty-five years later.

Compare the numbers: between them, the 'Big Three' US fund giants BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) manage [aka control] some $20.7 trillion in assets...this threesome are major shareholders in 95% of S&P 500 companies.

To offer further perspective, The Three Amigos have 3.4 times more investing power than the US Government....greater than the combined gdps of Germany, Japan, India, UK and Italy.

BlackRock Inc spent $2.3 billion on lobbying Congress in 2022. The Vanguard Group spent $1.8 billion lobbying in 2023; State Street spent $1.1 billion in the same year. The total comes to nearly eight million bucks per Congressmen. I mean, how do these lawmakers make ends meet?

BOTTOM LINE FOCUS: BOURSE-PERVERTED GLOBAL FINANCIALISED NEOLIB CAPITALISM IS THE BEAST THAT MUST BE STARVED. EVERYTHING ELSE IS MERE DECKCHAIR REARRANGEMENT. I AM A COMMUNITY MUTUALIST ENTREPRENEUR, AND I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. NOTHING ELSE IS JUST.

Bric nations announce virtual launch of new vaccine currency to be called ''Placebo''

The launch remains virtual on account of being virtually ready to go but not just yet. Beijing is holding back because it would quite like a global duopoly with Amerika, and it can't pronounce the name. India is also profoundly hesitant in a sort of goodness gracious me manner given the likelihood that Islamist trouble makers in Pakistan, Iran, Sudan and Oman will dominate. There are also complications in that London Mayor Sadiq Khan insists that the competitor to the Pfizerdollar should be called the Placebostan.

Meanwhile, the rest of the three original founding countries Brazil, Russia, and South Africa have reached a consensus, and confidently expect that Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Alexei Kudrin's Uncle Stan will follow suit in due course.

The new anti-Dollar will be floated onto the Fauci-Wuhan Exchange at an initial rate of three Pfizer mRNA fatalities to the Placebo, said the South African finance sceptic Ivor McTin.
