The Agenda: Global Dominance through Financial Exploitation?.

It is said that there exists “no accidents” but controlled events knitted into a fog of distraction for focus avoidance. Given the economic crises are we to simply believe that <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />UK PM Brown didn’t know or understand through ignorance what was occurring, he after all being a former Chancellor of the Exchequer whom once joked that there were "two types" of chancellors: those who fail and those who get out in time. In Britain parallel events have shaped the economy in stripping Wealth from the Nations Taxpayers.

 

On one hand the New Labour Government increasingly farms-out Public Services in passing their responsible/accountable onto the shoulders of others whom reach ever deeper into taxpayers pockets and purses in award themselves fat bonuses. Parallel to that and more destructive came the combination that allowed financial deregulation whereby taxpayers were allowed to walk the high-wire in having easy long term loans to which the safety net wasn’t a requirement in terms of endowments etc to repay such loans. Although signing to a loan provider “selling-on” such debt earns profitable commissions while others within the Financial Sector could profit too from purchasing Credit Default Swops (CDS) in “gambling” behind peoples backs that particular beneficiaries would default on their repayments after which a Bank would then credit a CDS holder with an amount perhaps equivalent or more towards the Assets worth – perhaps even becoming its new outright owner.

 

In June 2007 it was recognised that British households were living beyond their means and that the economy was skating on thin ice while across the Atlantic in 2008 the US Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the biggest Bank in the World and registered owners of 99% of all paper (stocks, Bonds, Securities etc ),  announces a public clearing facility for credit default swops (CDS), which will be linked to DTCC's Trade Information Warehouse. So if borrowers (beneficiaries of assets) defaulted on loan repayments CDS holders could become the registered owners of such assets. On the 11 January 2008 Northern Rock sold a £2.2 billion pound portfolio of mortgages to US investment bank JP Morgan while JPMorgan Chase by 15th January 2009 became the largest U.S. bank by market value.

 

What must ordinary people and businesses in the US, UK and Europe think in being “Wealth-stripped” financially by those whom rub their hands together with glee through their failure?. Chancellor Darling sited Oil prices as the real cause of the economic crises while shovelling billions of taxpayers money into Northern Rock “holed” through debt. Somebody somewhere is perhaps owed trillions of Dollars and could use a CDS on a CDS gaining even more profits should Banks default in paying up on the original debt!.

 

Global Dominance – events?.

People become poorer They(?) take control of assets Consumerism rises – everything becomes a rental as factories quicken output to replace. No physical money – contact less card technology adopted. Banking first into Super Markets such that Credits from employment or benefits can be spent and debits by an automated tax system trawling all accounts. Globalisation – People and systems fully digitally monitored/regulated. Homes technologically adapted such the Service providers [ Doctors, Care facilitators etc ] will be knocking on doors quicker than people can dial their numbers.  

The mega-wealthy controllers to which a New World Order (OWN) will enslave through exploiting advanced Technology. 

As Mr Brown sits in his G20 chair he should perhaps give a thought towards his paymasters, that of British Taxpayers, whom have to accept “spin”, press reports and Government Departmental leaks in assessing constantly as to what is actually happening as to a Nation and their welfare!. Although the G20 is about finding a Financial Solution to a current crises it also must raise questions as to the fitness of the Government itself in receiving loans whilst in the employ of taxpayers which surely is a conflict of interests!. Transparency is about communication but given the lengths to which the Government will go to in hiding its expenses from Public view it must serve to demonstrate both protectionalism and greed through self regulation.

Government expenditure rose to 42.2 percent of gross domestic product in 2006 from 40.8 percent in 1997. "It remains open to debate whether the U.K. has profited from the borrowing to invest," said Philip Shaw, an economist at Investec in London. Ernst & Young, the accounting firm, said in April that Brown was leaving the Treasury "on a high" of economic growth but that he would also pass on an economy that is "skating - not to say wobbling - on thin ice."  "We are all living beyond our means," said Peter Spencer, chief economic adviser to the Ernst & Young group that prepared the report. Households are saving less and people are borrowing money to finance current spending, the report said

Taxpayers spend £150 million each year on the 646 members of parliament and their staff, according to the House of Commons - around £4.74 each person. MPs are allowed to draw £87,276 each year for staffing, £20,440 for office expenses and £22,110 for additional costs.
