What really drives Brexit?
Put it another way.
Pose a pertinent, topical question about what is happening across Earth's States at this time.
What is the largest scale global scale dynamic event that is happening? Change and resistance to change?
With
climate change and
particulate air pollution now proven, with the need for meaningful social and material action to address the harms these present, who are the people who would fear potential class actions and intense state and international regulation to address the accumulated harms and to prevent further harms?
Who is responsible for the most harms in these areas?
Who has known of these harms for decades and done nothing about it, and worse has actively impeded or
denied knowledge, understanding and remedial action that is need on these matters?
Wealth as a Political Hegemon, a dictatorship, a tyranny.
When it comes to Wealth as a political party, a global hegemon, the extractive industries are the largest group, or faction, and they have
huge influence over politicians, globally, through the wealth they deploy as a political weapon that serves their interests and frequently undermines the interests of ordinary working folk and the stability and survival of indigenous nations.
Iraq had many layers of purpose, one of which was a 'war for Oil'.
Oligarchy and War as a utility.Iraq, Libya and Syria are cases of administering a very public beating, a demonstration to any that might imagine standing up to the global bullies.
If that Wealth is threatened, if the extractive industry Oligarchy are forced to spend their profits on preventing harms, if they are regulated to pay for the previous harms of the externalised costs of their activities, then their industries will cease to be profitable, and they will also lose their political power.
What would they do to avoid that?
How far would they go?
How far to the ruling class of any oppressive situation go?
Israeli Apartheid.We only need to see what is happening in Israel, what the Israeli State and Military are doing every day, 24/7 to Palestinian people. That is how far the Ruling Class of the Israeli State is willing to go.
They will murder, bomb, evict, demolish, close off, entomb, shoot, imprison, starve and in what ever way they can devise, extirpate a people whose tenure on the lands of Palestine is proven, undoubted, long established.
We only need to see what happened in England as the covid19 epidemic rolled in, and on. They rejected Zero Community Transmission strategy, which is proven to prevent more harm than the let spread and try to control the spread policy.
Take a look at two interesting takes on this, with regards to interfering with Democracy.
Extractive Industry pre-empting State legislation on Climate, Environment, Pollution.Charles Koch and
Gina Rinehart,
Robert and Rebekah Mercer and
others associated with the extractive industrial complex have been and are funding the organisation and activities of a myriad of think tanks, lobby groups, media campaigns and the operations of
adverse election influence in 68 countries, covering more than 100 elections, deploying digital microtargeting campaigns interlaced with traditional electioneering methods in order to alter peoples perception and behaviour.
Politically motivated grooming operations directed against populations in order to inhibit democratic regulation of their industries. Both SCL and Cambridge Analytica have been shut down by their owners. The people who staffed them have moved on to other similar operations and the business of influence continues apace, not least with regards to
COVID19 misinformation and lobbying in support of Governments rejecting zero community transmission strategies.
Brexit, Bolsonaro and TrumpBrexit and the election of Trump in USA and of Bolsonaro in Brazil, among many others involving embedded news media political grooming operations via traditional media, and in the latter stages deploying industrial scale digital micro targeting operations designed to alter voters and non-voters behaviour through the repeated use of emotional trigger content, amygdala hacking and neuro-marketing propaganda techniques at an industrial scale. Grooming.
Setting international precedent at the state level by breaking treaties unilaterally. Walking away from Climate Agreements. Disposing of environmental regulations to protect wilderness.
The same networks funding and organising covid misinformation campaigns and anti-zero community transmission strategy lobbying globally. Grooming.
An alternative to the State - the Private CityFree Cities - a campaign to create
Privatised City States, the future of liberalism for the
next century and beyond that are run by Corporations, as locations to park Wealth and to evade Democratic State regulation and and to undermine State taxation systems that fund social programs, health care, education for the grass roots.
A libertarian utopia where wealth as a political hegemon is recreated as a protected species - protected from democratic, evidence led regulation and taxation.
Charles Koch, a fossil fuel industry leader worth an estimated $47.5 Billion believes in a world with no taxes, no health service, no state pension, no minimum wage, no sick leave, no disability support, no welfare system, no police, no foreign aid, no financial or climate change regulation.
“The Sovereign Individual” by William Rees-Mogg and James Dale Davidson, published in 1997 articulates this ideology. Published as Blair took a Thatcherite version of the English Labour Party into the 21st Century, his policy position laid the ground work for the destruction of the social contract where the State acts with a duty of care to the citizen.
Rees-Mogg & Davidson’s dystopian vision, along with the condensed edition of Hayek’s Road to Serfdom’ (PDF download), published in 1945 are considered pivotal texts of the ‘bible’ of the NeoLiberal or Libertarian authoritarian-right, the alt right etc.
Following the doctrines in these books, powerful libertarians all over the world including the controversial Peter Thiel, Koch, Rinehart and many others are working with much energy to introduce, implement and expand the radical concept of Enterprise Cities in various formats known as SEZ’s, Charter Cities, Freeports and ZEDE’s.
Moneyland
"Moneyland is a country I invented; it doesn't exist in the way that any normal country does. But it's basically the place where you can put your money, you can put your reputation, you can put your children, if you are rich enough to afford it services. And it is essentially a hybrid country that exists outside of ordinary nation-states, where the reach, the power of law enforcement, doesn't stretch to. So essentially, it's a secret country, a private country for anyone rich enough to afford its services, and it's essentially government, sort of, of the rich, for the rich, by the rich."

China - the exception?
Whereas China is doing the exact opposite! China is by no means perfect. No such state of perfection exists in the industrialised world at this stage of development, globally. The entire industrial system has huge dysfunctionality, not least in the areas of externalised costs.
Nonetheless, China is embarking on a remarkable program of alleviating poverty, expanding health care and education, eradicating destitution and imposing strict transparency on the activities of commercial corporations to detect, punish and prevent corruption and in that way reduce the harms associated with corporate fraud and other externalised costs.
War Crimes
The invasion of Iraq, a sovereign State, in 2003 was a War of Aggression. As such it was the supreme War Crime, the Act of Aggression, which contains all war crimes within it.
Two States are most culpable in the commission of this War Crime - England and The United States of America, who drew on NATO states and others to provide 'assistance'.
It follows that the political leaders who drove the prosecution of this crime are War Criminals, and their administrations and Military Chiefs are also War Criminals, and that the civilian officials and the News Media that ran propaganda in support of this War Crime are all liable under the Laws that prohibit Wars of Aggression for conduct ancillary to the commission of a War Crime.
Nobody has been indicted for these War Crimes.
Israel is engaged in war crimes on a daily basis and is allowed to operate with utter impunity.
In England, the Labour Party is the primary political organisation responsible for the move to wage war against Iraq. As such it is a War Criminal entity, until it finds the courage to indict those Labour politicians who prosecuted the War against Iraq. The English Government likewise is a war criminal entity.
The English Government 'stands with Israel. Starmer is a Zionist, by his own words - but does he even understand what he is saying? Does Starmer understand? Is that why he persecuted Julian Assange while he was DPP, and now refuses to come to Assange aid as he languishes in an English jail cell, accused of no crime? Because he understands all too well his role as a member of the Establishment?
There is a group with the Labour Party who have been protecting Tony Blair ever since 2006. Starmer is part of that group, a Johnny come lately to the Blairite war criminal collective.
Protecting a known war criminal.
Ugly....
Kindest regards
