"That is boldly going nowhere Jim!" Star Trick, Bezos and Brexit : Not solving the problem, dumping them elsewhere to avoid changing the toxic behaviour.

A friend of mine described William Shatners comments on Bezos' master plan to move polluting industries into space: "That's boldly going nowhere, Jim!"


Here's a short segment of William Shatner speaking prior to his brief journey into the edges of space on Blue Origin, Bezos's reusable rocket.

Interviewer to Shatner : "For the kids watching today, do you have any words for them?"

Shatner : ".. Well... Seriously the truth of the matter is this whole blue origin thing is based on the idea of building industry above the Earth.... and taking this pollution out of this planet .. out of the immediate planet.. and putting it up there.. That's got to be the future the Earth and and the Earth is is dependent on that .. and the youth.

The two work hand in hand and so it's very important that the young people today know that this, that up there, is the future and to work towards that.. for the improvement of the Earth."

Interviewer : "Fabulous...."

So I did my first ever TikTok video! Yay!

1. Jeff  Bezo's solution to Earth Pollution?

Don't change what we are doing that is toxic, just place the dodgy industrial toxic production shit in space. Sounds like a good idea?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeff-bezos-space-heavy-industry-polluting-industry/

"I think people don't understand it, or most people don't," Bezos told "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King in an exclusive interview after he landed back on Earth Tuesday. "When you get into space and you can see the Earth's atmosphere, it's so thin and fragile looking. So we do have to take care of this planet. And right now it's just true that our civilization is — we pollute the planet. 

This sounds fantastical, what I'm about to tell you, but it will happen. We can move all heavy industry and all polluting industry off of Earth and operate it in space," he said.
 
It will take decades to get there, Bezos acknowledged, but he cited the technological advances that have happened since the Wright Brothers took their first flight in 1903.
 
If you told somebody, 'One day there will be a 787,' it would seem fantastical. But that is what happens. And we do need to move heavy industry off Earth. Because this is the best planet. We've been to all the planets in this solar system with robotic probes — this is the good one," Bezos said.

Bezos is off loading the problem, continuing the toxic behaviour, doing it somewhere else - in space - rather than changing the behaviour.

The truth is that the top 20 industry sectors would be loss makers if they paid their full externalised costs. 

If they paid for all the damage they do, they'd not be profitable. 

They make profits by causing harm instead of avoiding that harm in the first place. They estimate that it would be cheaper (for them) to build the infrastructure to move industrial production into space, than to change the way industrial production operates on Earth so that it does not cause so much harm. Why do they think this way?

Billionaires Wealth is built on a huge deceit. Billionaires Wealth and Power is rooted in the practice of externalising costs. They use their wealth as a political weapon to prevent democratic regulation of their wealth extraction and sequestering systems.

2. Externalities  : https://investopedia.com/terms/e/externality.asp

An externality is a cost or benefit caused by a producer that is not financially incurred or received by that producer. An externality can stem from either the production or consumption of a good or service. Someone else pays the price. 

Environmental degradation, the poverty inherent by maintaining low wages to maximise profits, the social disruption caused by political interference and corruption in democracies, clearing indigenous people's from land in order to develop it, waging wars for resources, climate change, air pollution are all externalised costs of industrial production, wealth  extraction and political dominance. 

The dumping of waste into landfills, or into the ocean is another externalised cost - chosen to save time and money rather than make the effort to prevent the waste or develop functional recycling of materials as an integral element of the whole industrial process which might eat into profits extracted.

3. The Elephant in the Room: The Deceit of Profit.

https://dwylcorneilius.blogspot.com/2019/12/profit-and-deceit-stripping-it-down-to.html

"Of the top 20 sectors ranked by environmental impacts, none would be profitable if environmental costs were fully integrated. Ponder that for a moment: None of the world’s top industrial sectors would be profitable if they paid those costs or invested in prevention of the harms, as things stand today. All that accumulated wealth is based on a fundamental deceit.

Climate Change is just one element of the adverse toxic impacts."

So when some politicians talks about GDP, and extolling the virtues of growing the GDP, increasing productivity and profits, know and understand that he or she is either deluded or knowingly lying, or both, and really ought to be disqualified from any role in governance, anywhere.

4. Brexit Reactionary context :  Resisting necessary change

Brexit is fundamentally a retrograde movement, a reactionary reflexive strategic attempt to stop history, to revert to the old authoritarian rule by wealth, Empire modality of hierarchical organisation of society. Brexit is both a denial of the need for change that toxic practice has thrust upon us and a rejection of the responsibility to future generations that defines adult maturity.

That it is typified by lies and gaslighting and immature adults behaving badly is indicative. Johnson calling on the Earths nation's leaders to 'grow up' at the UN is exactly that. Immature gaslighting. It's not easy being green when you are a liar!

His lies are not to be dismissed as merely lies, or buffoonery - they are part of a political weaponization, a war of words, of unilateral treaty breaking, of destabilising democratic regulation, a struggle that is central to where we are, and where we will be in the near, medium and distal future. 

https://dwylcorneilius.blogspot.com/2021/09/making-sense-looking-at-what-happens.html

What does the political industrial wealth group that represents accumulated wealth aka Capital. fear most, as we walk into dealing with Climate Change, Pollution, Environment Degradation as existential threats to Humanity?

Democratic Regulation that demands they pay the externalised costs, directives that urge that they invest their wealth and energy into prevention of further harms and the demands of helping populations at risk to find adaptive strategies that protect their health and well being?

For example Shell are being held to account in Holland, Exxon are being sued for lying about their knowledge that CO2 emissions were causing Climate Change. There are many other cases, precedents are being set. If it is citizens who are bringing these cases, and succeeding, it will be democratic Governments elected to continue that work that bring it to fruition. And it certainly is necessary. The problems are real, and they will not go away so they must be resolved.

Absolutely they do.

5. Sovereignty has no meaning on the individual level. Brexit is about breaking treaties unilaterally. Brexit is about evading EU and other international regulation of finance. Brexit is about setting up privatised economic zones free of democratic state 'tyranny' - the word the Accumulated Extracted Wealth Political Oligarchy use to describe any form of democratic regulation of industry and of wealth. 

Free Marketeers fear democratic regulation. In impedes their ability to extract wealth. Without that wealth they are ordinary people with no power, because they have no ideological ground, and without that wealth as a weapon, without the pimping and pomposity, they are impotent and ordinary. They have no ideas worthy of the attention and loyalty of the human population.

https://99-percent.org/malice-in-plunderland-a-new-kind-of-government/

6." Income distribution at current levels means that close to half of the working population in both the USUK would be unable to survive without external aid. Most regard this as a sign that the system isn’t working properly, most view providing the help as an intrinsic part of a civilized society - To a market fundamentalist, though, these people are simply not worth what it costs to keep them alive. Their existence is not cost-effective, and being forced to sustain them is an unjustified burden."

The cutting of the £20 uplift is instructive.

7. The same logical dynamic applies to the prevention of toxic outputs from industrial processes, from raw materials to end of life disposal, from clothes to food, from housing to transport. Preventing those harms is not cost effective, it cuts into their profits. Therefore it is impractical, inefficient. Easier to ship it into space, says Bezos! He's wrong, of course.

The Free Marketeers object to being made to prevent the toxicity because it interferes with their Wealth Extraction, which is what gives them their political power - without that vast wealth, they would be unable to influence politicians, corrupt legislatures, use mass media to indoctrinate and groom entire populations. Their Wealth is the source of their power, they have no ideological or moral standing without that wealth  which they deploy as a weapon.

8. These people feel entitled to `rule' the larger population in part because they view their success as proof of personal and collective superiority. They are psychologically addicted to power and are unwilling to cede any of the power they have gained, even if that means causing harm to billions of people.|

This is where we really are.

9. William Shatner did not come up with the idea to dump industrial pollution into space, disguised as 'space tourism'. He is being used, exploited as cultural fantasy icon, to fashion a veil, to groom generations into the idea of space tourism.

He's only repeating what Bezos has already indicated, back in July 2021, after the first launch.

10. So to push back we need the knowledge of what can be done to re-engineer industrial process so that it prevents toxic harms and instead outputs nutrients and enhances our environment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_to_the_Grave

And we need to bring robust democratic regulation and legislation to enable this trajectory, and that must include solid evidence based legislation and robust class actions against those who resist making these essential healthy changes because they want to retain the power to extract wealth, to hoard wealth and to use wealth as a political weapon to preserve their power, against the best interests of the global population and our shared environment.

11. This will be a serious, difficult and protracted struggle, and we must do it well, we must be wholly evidence based and we must fully commit to it and be determined, for the sake of all our children and their children to follow, to move it through to completion over a few generations. The main reason I think this is possible is this: most people are decent, our species is bio-logically set for an egalitarian default setting for our social organisation.

https://dwylcorneilius.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-human-species-is-fine-its-culture.html?m=1

I have been thinking, reading, writing about hierarchically violent social and cultural behavioural characteristics for 30 years, dipping into the best work I could find, work done in the past, work being done today by serious, hardworking scientists, clinicians, practitioners and by trauma survivor populations.  This study is as much a study of myself and my lived experience in this culture I was born into. There are personal elements to this pursuit as well as global concerns. Being a survivor informs my study.

What I have learned is this:

When we study the evolution of the human neuro-endocrine system and how it functions, how it relates to our emotional state, our mental and physical health we discover something. It is 'designed' or 'evolved' through natural selection for optimal health. Being a bully or being bullied is not optimal health on any possible measure.

Egalitarian life was/is generally peaceful,  humanely beautiful, physically healthy, grounded in solid emotional attachment and mature affective state self regulation which reduces incidence of lost tempers and general violence because egalitarian culture nurtures the default setting of trust which is the basis of co-operation. 

“The mutual-aid tendency in man has so remote an origin, and is so deeply interwoven with all the past evolution of the human race, that is has been maintained by mankind up to the present time, notwithstanding all vicissitudes of history."

Pytor Kropotkin was correct.

We can do it. it won't be easy,  and it can be done.

PPE, Masks, How to Earn £50,000,000 in Three Seconds, Priti Patel and friends.

Some people are making the case that the English Government's policy position on COVID this Autumn 2021 is an experiment to see what will happen as they allow the virus to spread without mitigations in place, given that there is a large part of population vaccinated. Our school children, a cohort that is largely unvaccinated, are being exposed to the virus. Epidemiologists know what will happen.

Watch this short video, which accurately sets out where we really are, right now and then read on. 
The question then is why is the English Government doing this? Bullies will always seek to exploit any new emerging vulnerabilities within any group or situation where they hold degrees of power.

Take the matter of crony contracts issued without tender process, or transparency at the time, many of which minted new millionaires and multi millionaires over night, at the stroke of a pen, the click of an email sent, the posting of a text message.


Priti Patel, David Cameron, Samir Jassal - the un-Masked Raiders of COVID Kit Budgeting 

Contracts for PPE at twice the price of the going market rate at the time!

The Good Law Project unearthed these details in the courts, extracting the evidence in spite of robust Government resistance. A government more properly called a misManagement, 
Minting Millionaires over night, whilst exposing the UK population to a really nasty pathogen, by neglect.

"The bare facts of what Good Law Project has learned about the Pharmaceuticals Direct contracts – two have so far been published, for £28.8m and £102.6m – are extraordinary."

Imagine this : one contract revealed that the masks supplied were priced at more than twice the going rate, netting a clear take home profit of over £50 million, for almost no work other than doubling the price on the contract papers. In spite of other suppliers offering the exact same products at the lower price. And having active Cabinet level ministers lobbying across departments on behalf of the beneficiaries of these contracts. Emails back and forth between the beneficiaries, Priti Patel, Matt Hancock and other officials, as this video shows. Well worth a watch.
£50 million for typing 6 characters! Minting Millionaires as a favour.

Matt Hancock’s position, as set out in legal documents provided to Good Law Project, is ‘nothing to see here’: his lawyers say that PPE Direct Limited made offers to supply PPE through the public portal
.

Friends with benefits

David Cameron had a neat job with Greensil, that netted him a cool £7 million we are told. He was able to use his direct contacts with acting Cabinet ministers to further his employers desires for business. So much easy cash sloshing around these slick politicians. 

Crony contracts that this Government doled out are mapped out on this rather adept website.  
An interactive visualization of the links between Tory politicians and firms winning government contracts by Sophie E. Hill - take your time to peruse the layers of friendship and association of the Conservative Party COVID cash cow milking parlour. 

Effectively this behaviour amounts to political bullies exploiting an emerging vulnerability and using the power of high office to enrich contacts and associates, and then using that power to get away with mismanagement that leads directly to avoidable death and disease amongst the vulnerable population.

Sajid Javid was not involved in any of this, as far as I can tell.

He was working part-time as an advisor. However his 'part-time' work with JP Morgan Chase in between his ministerial roles suggests he would not be much bothered by this kind of arrangement. After all, he was a lead in developing CDOS, which were a scheme to resell bad debts, repackaged as solid investments to unwary investors - a behaviour that led directly to the financial crash on 2008. 

There's a documentary about this kind of thing, Inside Job, that is worth viewing as generalist introduction to this level of quasi legal corruption. 

Anyway, that  was then.

This is now.  COVID infection rates are rising across educational settings and elsewhere. New cases are rising to 42,000 per day, (Government figures) or 70.000 (ZOE), deaths are running at above 100 per day, close to the anecdotal 1000 a week 'acceptable level', each death a pretty horrid process, and Sajid Javid is very much responsible for that state of affairs, he is the Health Secretary - b
etween 4 October 2021 and 10 October 2021, 5,423 were admitted into hospital with coronavirus

The front page of the Mail on Sunday on July 4th 2021 ran a quote from Javid declaring that "opening up will make us healthier" due to a backlog of NHS cases exacerbated from the pandemic. That backlog has not subsided in any measure since that optimistic declaration.

Given the multiple reports and studies and papers that lay out the catastrophic mismanagement of the COVID19 epidemic in England culminating with the recent Health and Social Care, and Science and Technology Select Committee Report I would suggest that the 45 million adults in the UK need to see this video, we need to view it and then to read this summary, at least three times. 

a parody song, based on the folk-blues ballad, The House of The Rising Sun:


Lyrics:

There is a house on Downing Street
They call it number ten,
It’s been the ruin of many a fair country
Now they are doing it again.

They could have avoided importing the virus
They could have stopped the spread
But they decided to play at being supermen
They let it transmit instead

Then when it was clear it was beyond control
They shut the whole country down
But they did not implement the strategy
We needed to stop it now

Our elders were made into a vector
Of this viral spread
Sent from hospitals without a test
To care homes to die in bed.

There is a house on Downing Street
They call it number ten,
It’s been the ruin of many a fair country
Now they are doing it again.

Furlough was given to corporate staff
three million excluded, left high and dry
They gave crony contracts to their best  friends
Millionaires were made over night

Then they let it run again, 
Into a second wave
The bodies piled high as People got sick,
And so we were digging many more graves
We were grieving in the thick of it

Dido’s Test and Trace was a costly farce
Lost track of the virus, cash went off shore
The vaccine was made of European co-operation
And NHS volunteers at the core.

Johnson claims the kudos he seeks all the praise,
Cummings denies responsibility
They scapegoat the people they have mislead
They’re destroying this country.

There is a house on Downing Street
They call it number ten,
It’s been the ruin of many a fair country
Now they are doing it again.

Now they’ve opened up again, the virus is on the rise
Spreading like wildfire
With no guarantee it won’t be a Health disaster,
From the the frying pan into the fire


Living with the Johnson Government and The English Ruling Class is a domestic abuse situation at population level or scale. Here's a blog article I wrote laying out the reasons I made this assessment.


So here's a few suggested markers,  the dynamic roles that play out in the classic domestic abuse family dynamic.  I'd be happy to read your critiques of these, with examples, to refine this study

The Abuser  - Boris Johnson and the Cabinet, The English Ruling Class, the prevailing Establishment of Power rooted in the Extracted Accumulated Wealth Party,  aka the Oligarchy

The Enabler  - The right wing media, the so-called left wing media, the centrist media, the Churches, Parliament and other public institutions that refuse to speak the whole truth.

The Hero - Idealised images of Nurses, Policemen, Troops, Doctors - Personalities such as Farage, Rees-Mogg, Tommy Robinson, National Icons that distract from the wounds by claiming British 'Spirit' etc..

The Scapegoat - Immigrants, the poor, the low income workers, the Blacks, the Browns, the Whites, the China Virus

The Lost Child - The Establishment Arts that refuses confront the truth, Britain's Got Talent, people groomed by Conspiracy Theory, Cultism etc..

The Mascot - The Queen, The Flag, The Establishment Arts, Parliament

These are all broad generalisations, and there needs to be a robust discussion around how truthful each of these elements of our Society are, and to what extent they are failing in their duty of care to the population they serve, in the face of this intolerable situation.

Letter : The Catholic Church, Transparency, Humility and Justice

Letter : The Catholic Church, Transparency, Humility and Justice



To the Editor

The independent Inquiry into Catholic Cleric Abuse behaviour in France has shocked that nation, with estimates of between 241,000 and 330,000 children attacked between 1950 and 2020. 

Most Survivors in those other countries where similar inquiries have taken place could see this coming a mile off. With each inquiry more is revealed.  With each, there is still more to be revealed.

30 years of exposure and even still, the Catholic Church, and others - and there are many other settings where sexual attacks upon children have been and still are being perpetrated - have not come clean. 

These powerful institutions have not offered total transparency, and they continue to defend and litigate against Survivors - what would Jesus do?  

Would He urge fullest possible transparency and humble honesty as a key element in both accountability and prevention? 

Such a move need not be humiliating for The Catholic Church - rather it would be a liberation from its own internal tyranny to do justice for all the Survivors, the living and the deceased.

What would be a truly just accounting, and what would a truly wise and healthy outcome look like?

How would Jesus approach the Survivors? How would Jesus end this story? 

Yours sincerely



Kindest regards

Open Letter on Facebook : Define grooming, criminalise it, impede predatory media content dissemination.

open letter : long version




To the Editor

Frances Haugen's testimony and evidence concerning Facebook and Instagram speaks volumes.

Media communications that target people’s cognitive biases, their insecurities, prejudices and worries, their misunderstandings, cultural conditioning and their fears, studying those conditions, aiming attenuated content that exacerbates those conditions at the targets,

And doing this with intent, in order to drive behavioural change - more on-line time extracted from users,  to encouraging addictive behaviour, whilst allowing malign actors access to vulnerable people, inciting hatred, nudging target groups into voting or not voting based on emotional and irrational drivers, increasing sales: all of this is economically or politically exploitative. 
 
This activity is psychological abuse. This activity is grooming. 

If we had legislation identifying it, defining it and criminalising it, as psychologically abusive intentional action, then the media providers would be unable to allow such behaviour to be disseminated on their platforms as a revenue stream.  Their AI algorithms would have to be written accordingly. 

This would not be an inhibition of free speech. This would be protecting vulnerable people from predatory actors.  

The asymmetry of power  between the State, the Corporation and the individual human being is immense. Legislation is required to prevent bad actors exploiting that power disparity. This is a question of Health and Safety.

Free Speech is, on the citizens side, the responsibility to speak truthfully, publicly and it is also an admonishment to State and other institutional actors to never use their power to harass honest critics, witnesses, whistle-blowers and truth tellers - the State and other powerful institutions must listen to the honest citizen and hear the honest truth.

Frances Haugen is demonstrating the best practice of Free Speech. The Bi-Partisan response is demonstrating the best practice of the State as an ear for the truth. 

Make grooming a criminal offence.

Yours Sincerely

Corneilius Crowley,
London

To be fair and honest, Grooming was already a standard behavioural characteristic of our current system. Grooming is a core element in every hierarchy of wealth, power and violence culture. The online media environment has made it possible to direct grooming content to individuals on their own, exploiting their vulnerabilities, exacerbating fears to drive behavioural modification, which can be exploited politically or economically, whereas prior to the online media environment, propaganda was aimed at larger aggregate groups, and was to some degree more obvious and more cautious.
