Since the election of Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government in 1979, Britain has undergone a great experiment. Economically, the UK became the exemplar of neoliberalism in Europe. Politically, the UK has quietly transitioned to a postnational state, undergoing one of the greatest demographic transformations in the West.

Although the landslide victory of Tony Blair’s “New Labour” in 1997 may have seemed like a return to the model of European social democracy that Britain exemplified after the Second World War, Blair’s “Third Way” represented rather the embrace of neoliberalism by the establishment Left, summed up nicely by their spokesman Peter Mandelson’s declaration that “we are all Thatcherites now”.

Under the leadership of both the Conservative Party and New Labour, Britain has transitioned from a traditional industrial and manufacturing powerhouse to a highly financialised rentier economy. The effects have been profound. The average Briton is considerably worse off and entire regions have been left behind at the same time London has become a booming centre of international finance. The UK has been denationalised by decades of mass-immigration and cultural leftism, and has become the prime example of “anarcho-tyranny”, where the state punishes minor offences and acts of dissent against the liberal consensus with extreme force, while serious crime runs out of control in major cities.

The Rentier Regime

The fundamental transformation in the British economy since the 1980s is the movement away from an economy that made things to an economy that made money . Up to then, Britain’s economic might had been centered on its manufacturing. Britain was the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and the dual expansion of its colonial empire and rapid advances in engineering allowed for the creation of a vast trading network, where colonies provided the raw materials and markets for British manufacturing. Northern English cities like Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle became manufacturing powerhouses serving the world.

Britain has shifted from an entrepreneurial capitalism to rentier capitalism: an economic system organised around income-generating assets. In this system, ownership of sought-after scarce assets — land, natural resources, intellectual property — is the source of a significant portion of economic activity, and the regime is dominated by vastly wealthy rentiers. Wealth is built around having rather than doing.

In his book Rentier Capitalism, the economic geographer Brett Christophers showed that the main effects of Thatcherite-era reforms were to open up new income streams to rentiers that had little or no productive effects. The pattern since then has been the privileging of rentier accumulation over investment in productive economic activity. The share of UK GDP coming from manufacturing was 32% in 1973, today it is under 9%. The UK today is producing a lot of money, but not much else.

A number of developments have empowered rentiers and disempowered renters since the first Thatcher government: following the monetarist prescriptions of the Chicago school of economics, Thatcher’s government privatised vast quantities of public assets and deregulated financial markets, which allowed for a massive growth in interest-bearing credit (household debt increased from 37% to 70% of GDP under Thatcher). The big discoveries of oil and gas in Britain’s North Sea, as well as the emergence of new rent-generating digital technologies and platforms has also led to the swelling of rentier portfolios.

Successive governments have amended tax policy to favour rentiers. For example, in 2016 the Conservative government introduced “The Patent Box”, which allowed companies to pay a substantially lower corporate tax of just 10% on profits earned from intellectual property. This has mostly benefited corporate giants like GlaxoSmithKline, the UK pharmaceutical company who reported that this change led to them keeping an extra £458 million per year.

The UK was also the first government to pioneer Public Private Partnerships, under which public services and infrastructure are outsourced to private companies to collect rents, though much of the financial risk remains with the state. These PPP schemes have not only led to huge windfalls for the private companies operating them, but have been shown time and again to cost the government more than if it funded public projects directly. A report on “The UK’s PPPs Disaster” notes that:

Since 1992 PPPs yielded public assets with a capital value of $71 billion. The UK government will pay more than five times that amount under the terms of the PPPs used to create them.

Not only this, but much of this giant rent extraction from the British public to private finance is offshored and avoids taxation. In 2011, the UK Public Accounts Committee reported that investors were extracting huge profits from British taxpayers by buying up contracts for schools and hospitals funded through PPPs, and taking the proceeds offshore. The committee reported that many PPP contractors are based in offshore tax havens, making a mockery of the assumption held by the UK Treasury that these contractors would benefit the British economy by paying tax.

The Thatcher government also gave enormously generous terms for the oil companies which extracted British North Sea oil. The discovery of abundant oil and gas reserves in the North Sea can take a lot of credit for funding the economic boom in the 1980s, helping to mask the contraction that was happening in the real economy in this period.

But while countries like Norway invested large oil discoveries into long-term investments like sovereign wealth funds, Thatcher’s government used it to fund cuts in the higher rates of income tax. One economist estimated that had the 3% of national income that was being generated from oil and gas extraction been invested in ultra-safe assets, it would conservatively have been valued £450bn by 2008. Instead, this money was used to fund a great cash giveaway for the highest earners in British society, much of which was then invested back into property assets and used to inflate the housing market, rather than stimulate real economic growth.

Privatisation, deregulation and financialisation has led to Britain becoming, in the words of the Financial Times, a “rentier’s paradise”. All the while, this transformation and the huge wealth transfer it brought has been subsidised by the British public, most of whom have seen declining or stagnant living standards for decades. The UK is a rentier regime — all policy since the 1980s can be understood as favouring rentiers, even (and often) at the expense of the national interest.

London’s financial black hole

ORDER IT NOW

London had historically been the seat of British finance and government, but under Thatcher, the financialised economy began to increasingly decouple from the traditional economy while becoming the driving force behind the new model’s economic growth. The highest levels of the UK government and the Bank of England came to increasingly serve the interests of the London financial elite. The new model adopted in Britain was:

Very much influenced by people with financial market backgrounds. They knew a lot about the City and capital markets but relatively little about manufacturing and regional industries. Markets to them were all about transactions, not production, labour or materials. Industry was part of an ageing foreign space for them. Finance was their new world.[1]Davis, Aeron. Bankruptcy, bubbles and bailouts: The inside history of the Treasury since 1976. Manchester University Press, 2022. Pg. 82-83.

The graph below demonstrates the explosion in London-based financial services in delivering growth for the British economy

As well as allowing the growth of financial services in London, the deregulation of successive Thatcherite-Blairite governments has made London an enormous centre of speculation. Property in London has become an especially popular commodity for the world’s elites to speculate on. In 2015, it was reported that non-resident buyers had spent over £100 billion on UK property in the previous six years. Foreign buyers now account for 41% of activity on the London property market. Many of the high end residential properties snapped up by oligarchs are left empty — London now has over 34,000 homes classified as “long-term vacant”.

Hearing that London is both a booming financial centre and the top destination for the world’s super rich, anyone would be forgiven for assuming that this is an unmitigated good for the UK’s economy. But there is good evidence that the London financial centre has become a black hole on the rest of Britain and its more traditional economy.

It was conventional wisdom of the neoliberal reformers that a growth in the financial sector would benefit other sectors of the economy: not only is there more money fluctuating in search of investment opportunities, but a larger finance sector means more knowledge circulating about the markets it studies, more efficient markets, and thus more effective investments.

Since the 2008 financial crash, much has been learned that challenges this assumption. A 2015 study by the Bank of International Settlements concluded that:

The growth of a country’s financial system is a drag on productivity growth. That is, higher growth in the financial sector reduces real growth. In other words, financial booms are not, in general, growth-enhancing, likely because the financial sector competes with the rest of the economy for resources.[2]Cecchetti, Stephen G., and Enisse Kharroubi. “Why does credit growth crowd out real economic growth?.” The Manchester School 87 (2019): 1-28.

Referring specifically to Britain, the authors of The Finance Curse write that:

‘Financialisation’ has crowded out manufacturing and non-financial services, leeched government of skilled staff, entrenched regional disparities, fostered large-scale financial rent-seeking, heightened economic dependence, increased inequality, helped disenfranchise the majority and exposed the economy to violent crises. Britain is subject to ‘country capture’ with the economy constrained by finance, and the polity and media under its influence.[3]Christensen, John, Nick Shaxson, and Duncan Wigan. “The finance curse: Britain and the world economy.” The British Journal of Politics and International Relations 18, no. 1 (2016): 255-269.

In 2018, a trio of economists tried to put a number on the cost of this ‘finance curse’. They concluded that in just a 20 year period, from 1995 to 2015, excessive financialisation cost the UK economy £4.5 trillion in unrealised growth.[4]Baker, Andrew, Gerald Epstein, and Juan Montecino. “The UK’s finance curse? Costs and processes.” SPERI report (2018).

Deregulation has also allowed the UK to become a global centre for financial fraud. A 2016 report estimated that financial fraud costs the UK £193bn per year — more than the entire budget of the National Health Service. Margaret Hodge, the former head of the UK’s Public Accounts Committee, named Britain as “the country of choice for every kleptocrat, crook and despot in the world”. In one high profile case that demonstrated this role London now serves, the city was at the centre of a massive Russian money-laundering scheme where Russian insiders laundered as much as $80 billion in dirty money, passing it through fictitious companies registered in London.

The City of London — the deregulated, semi-independent financial district of London — is also at the centre of the world’s “shadow banking” economy, which is now estimated to account for half the world’s assets. Britain has created, since the 1950s, a deeply complex financial ecosystem which makes use of deregulated offshore British jurisdictions like the Cayman Islands and Jersey, allowing the world’s super rich to hide their wealth and business activities from tax and regulation.

Deregulation by the British government of the “Eurodollar market” of offshore trading — done consciously at a time of British colonial decline to try and maintain British financial power — allowed the City of London to become “the main nerve centre of the darker global offshore system that hides and guards the world’s stolen wealth.” The City of London thus benefits from depriving the world of hundreds of billions in lost taxation and facilitating fraud and deceit on a massive scale.

An overlooked way in which financialisation drags down the rest of the economy is in how the rentier state treats the national currency. The attempt to make Britain a hub for inflows of foreign money has made successive governments want a “strong” or overvalued pound sterling relative to other currencies.

The effect of this overvalued pound contributed substantially to the decline of British manufacturing — exporters suffer from an overvalued currency, as their products become less affordable to other countries. From 1950 to 1970, Britain’s share of the world’s manufacturing fell from 25% to 10%. While this has often been presented as an inevitable feature of modernisation, in the same period Germany grew its share from 7% to 20%.[5]Eglene, Ophelia. Banking on Sterling: Britain’s Independence from the Euro Zone. Lexington Books, 2011. The key difference is that in Germany, monetary policies have consciously been set to favour the growth of industry, whereas Britain has treated industrial interests as subordinate to finance and banking.

In leaning on finance to replace the economic growth once provided by industrial output and innovation, Britain followed the course of other once great empires. Previous capitalist hegemons like Genoa and the Netherlands also encouraged financial speculation and tried to build their economies on usury as they went into decline.

For Britain, this has allowed the country to maintain a level of economic might that its citizens were accustomed to, but this is a precarious state of affairs. The economist Philip Pilkington explains how this affair with international finance works:

Britain is allowed to run large trade deficits because its trade partners are keen to hold British-domiciled financial assets. This in turn allows Britons to live beyond their means. Foreigners send Britain goods they would otherwise be unable to afford, Britain sends sterling in return and instead of dumping sterling onto foreign exchange markets — thereby driving down its value and rendering the goods less affordable for Britons — the foreigners buy British financial assets. Britain is a potentially rather low-income country living the life of a high-income country, and the whole show is kept on the road by the financiers in the City. A clever arrangement — but clearly an unstable one.

There is already reason to think this precarious relationship is in jeopardy. The rich are fleeing the UK in droves — 9,500 millionaires are set to leave the UK in 2024. The UK is only behind China worldwide for millionaire emigration, but outpaces it per capita by a factor of 14.

At the same time, many heavy hitters within the British economy are being sold to American capital. Blackrock has just finalised a deal to acquire the UK-based data provider Preqin for $3.2 billion. To economists like Pilkington, this is another phase in Britain’s long decline and retreat from the world stage, the final consolidation of a post-war settlement which made the UK a subordinate partner to the United States:

In the Eighties and Nineties, Britain managed to carve out a place in the world by becoming a major financial centre. But it has long been well-known that the City of London is just an outpost of Wall Street. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the City has waned in importance with more and more British companies being listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Now the financialised British economy is being actively weaponised against the country to asset-strip its companies and place them under American ownership.

Left Behind

A 2022 piece in the Financial Times painted a bleak picture of the economic reality for most Brits that is masked by popular measures of economic health like GDP. Although Britain has many wealthy people, the average person is not very well off compared to other developed countries. In fact, the lowest-earning bracket of households in Britain were 20% worse off than their counterparts in Slovenia. The British middle class is also rapidly declining in its living standard relative to the rest of Europe:

In 2007, the average UK household was 8 per cent worse off than its peers in north-western Europe, but the deficit has since ballooned to a record 20 per cent. On present trends, the average Slovenian household will be better off than its British counterpart by 2024, and the average Polish family will move ahead before the end of the decade.

Britain is, in the authors words, a poor country with some very rich people. Another way to put it might be that Britain is poor country with one very rich region. Data presented by the same author shows that removing London would take 14% off average British living standards, enough to leave the remainder of Britain poorer than every state in the US.

This reflects how much Britain’s general decline has been masked by the growth of finance capitalism. The British economy has been stagnant since the 2008 financial crisis. In the period since, real wages have declined by 3%. For comparison, real wages in Germany grew by almost 9% in the same period. This has been coupled with a cost of living crisis and persistently high inflation since 2021, as well as a rising cost in rents. More than a third of people in Britain spend over half their income on rent, 80% spent over a third. Here too, the shift to a rentier economy has been devastating.

In the general election that won her power in 1979, one of Margaret Thatcher’s more popular promises was the “right to buy”, promising over 5 million tenants of social housing the right to buy their home from the local authorities at much reduced rates. The average discount obtained by those availing of the scheme was 44%, an amazing bargain considering how much the value of many of these houses would inflate since — in southern England in 1981 the average valuation of a Right to Buy property was just under £20,000. Most sales were financed by lending.

This policy embodied Thatcher’s ethos as much as any, flogging off public resources at a discount, funded by private credit, and instilling in the millions of new homeowners a spirit of risk-taking individualism and independence from the welfare state.

In the following decade, rents rose substantially on those who did not avail of the Right to Buy. In effect, poorer renters subsidised through higher rents the ability of their wealthier neighbours to become homeowners. Since Right to Buy, the number of social housing available has plummeted, as has building of these houses. 40% of ex-council flats sold through statutory Right to Buy are now private rental properties. So, while lower-middle class Britons got to experience affordable home ownership in the 1980s, millions of younger people now exist in precarity around housing, forced into overly expensive privately rented accommodation with no hope of affording a home.

The scheme also took away power from local authorities, who can now do little about local housing problems other than turn to the London government. This was one of the largest privatisation schemes ever undertaken, a major step in the transition to a rentier economy, and a classic example of politicians cashing in on short term gain at the expense of long-term concerns. Much like the cash giveaway taken from North Sea oil, Thatcher’s government took from future generations for short term abundance.

Of course, no housing crisis can be explained just by looking at supply, and housing is one of the sectors of the economy most clearly affected by decades of mass-immigration.

The Migration State

I have previously written on Britain’s demographic transformation through mass-immigration. I won’t restate the analysis presented there, but in this context it is worth discussing how Britain’s transformation into a migration state went hand in hand with its embrace of neoliberalism.

The left in Britain, as in the rest of Europe, has been keen to present a narrative of Britain as a historically multicultural country. At the same time, the Dissident Right , in its focus on the radical changes affecting Europe after the Second World War sometimes miss just how recent the radical demographic changes of European nations are. The 1980’s …

Net-immigration to the UK exploded under the New Labour government after 1997, and continued with successive Conservative governments since the 2010s, now at a historic high. This was largely ideologically driven, as former Labour advisor Andrew Neather admitted his party wanted to rub the right’s nose in diversity, and “make the UK truly multicultural.”

ORDER IT NOW

But New Labour’s embrace of neoliberal economic prescriptions also drove this new approach to immigration, as Labour shifted from its traditional Keynesian economic approach to prioritise labour market flexibility and counter-inflation. Labour representatives spoke of the mass-migration of people as a necessary part of living in a global, financialised economy, comparing it to the free movement of capital. A special advisor to the party reflected on the change in immigration policy as coming from

the reorientation on economic policy of the centre left—away from Keynesian demand management towards a more explicit embrace of globalisation—lent itself more firmly towards embracing immigration too. The emphasis on skills and education and openness to global markets meant that you had people more open to arguments about migration being an important component of a successful economy.[6]Quoted in Consterdine, Erica. Labour’s immigration policy: the making of the migration state. Springer, 2017. Pg. 130

What began as New Labour policy has become cross-party consensus in Britain. Net migration was 685,000 in 2022. While a major motivation for many who voted to leave the European Union was an opposition to mass-immigration, the Tories have responded by increasing immigration. In fact, the main result of Brexit on immigration has been to simply swap EU migrants with even more culturally incompatible non-EU migrants.

It seems that, after decades of betrayal, voters concerned about immigration are at last willing to abandon the Conservative Party in droves. Though at this point, the change to British demographics has been enormous. The 2021 census of England and Wales showed that 10 million people, or one-sixth of the population, were born outside the United Kingdom.

In 2010, the demographer David Coleman produced an analysis which forecast White Britons becoming a minority by 2066. Since immigration has expanded greatly since then, this figure can likely be revised forward. Minority status is already a daily reality for many White Britons, who are now a minority in major cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, and London — where two thirds of the capital’s residents are ethnic minorities.

Anarcho-Tyranny

Another defining feature of the postnational British state is anarcho-tyranny, the increasing breakdown of the state’s capability to maintain law and order and its failure to prosecute the most basic crimes, combined with the increasingly tyrannical policing of civil society and suppression of liberties once taken for granted.

British police are now more incompetent than they have ever been: an investigation into their ability to investigate crime found that more than half the forces studied failed to meet basic standards. Not one of the 43 constabularies studied made the top category of “outstanding”. Most Britons no longer expect the police to investigate crimes like mugging or bike theft, and many no longer bother reporting these types of crimes. This is a correct assumption: between 2015 and 2023 in England and Wales the percentage of crime resulting in the offender being caught by the police and taken to court fell from 16% to 5.7%. Police now solve fewer than 3% of burglaries. Most criminals have little chance of ever facing punishment in the UK.

In contrast, the state has proven absolutely committed to policing the speech of White Britons, especially if it concerns criticism of multiracial liberal pluralism. A 2017 article in The Telegraph reported that more than 3,300 people were detained and questioned in the previous year over “trolling” on social media and other online forums. Two particularly egregious examples of this kind of policing came in 2018: first, a 19-year-old woman was convicted of sending a “grossly offensive” message after she posted rap lyrics that included the N-word on her Instagram page. Then, the YouTuber Count Dankula was found guilty of a hate crime for posting a video that showed his pug raising its paw in what he called a Nazi salute.

British police also track “non-crime hate incidents”, encouraging the public to report if they take offence to someone’s speech on the basis of their “protected characteristics”. The police are instructed that in the case of these reports “the victim does not have to justify or provide evidence of their belief, and police officers and staff should not directly challenge this perception.” Almost 120,000 of these incidents were recorded in the 5 year period from 2014 to 2019.

The greatest tyranny has been reserved for nationalists. This year, Sam Melia, an activist and organiser with Patriotic Alternative, was sentenced to two years in prison for “inciting racial hatred”. Melia had set up a group called the Hundred Handers on Telegram, which posted graphics intended for members to download and print as stickers. The stickers contained messages like “its OK to be white”, “love your nation” and “stop anti-white rape gangs”.

The prosecution used materials found in a search of Melia’s house, such as a book by Oswald Mosley, as “key signs of Melia’s ideology that underpinned his desire to spread his racist views in a deliberate manner.” Thus, Melia’s private reading material was used as evidence that he harboured views the prosecution considered racist.

At the trial itself, the prosecution acknowledged the language on the stickers were lawful, but were produced as a body of work intended to stir up racial hatred. The jury was also instructed to ignore any consideration of whether the statements on the stickers were actually true, as truth is no defence in cases such as this. The jury duly found Melia guilty, after which he was sentenced to two years in prison.

The ideological commitments of the stewards of the British state have not only led them to targeting political dissidents, but also to covering up crime on a massive scale. We now know that British police and state institutions ignored and helped conceal the greatest child sexual abuse scandal in British history, with a series of pedophile “grooming gangs” composed of Asian, mostly Pakistani men ignored for years.

A report into the worst of these, in the town of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, found that 1,400 children had been sexually abused from 1997 to 2013, predominantly by men of Pakistani origin. It revealed that council staff and others knew of the abuse but turned a blind eye to what was happening and refused to identify the perpetrators due to their fear of being branded as racist.

The same conclusion was reached after an 8 year investigation by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, which found that grooming gangs still existed across the country, but investigations into them were still being hampered by authorities’ fears of pursuing so many non-white criminals.

The End?

I am publishing this on July 4 2024, the day of a UK general election. By the time you read this, it is likely the Conservative Party will have suffered its worst electoral defeat ever, handing a landslide majority to the Labour party. Decades of betrayal of their patriotic voter base has brought them to a point of absolute fatigue. The Thatcher-Blair-Cameron neoliberal consensus which has governed Britain for almost half a century now has transitioned the country from a proud and cohesive nation into a postnational economic zone, increasingly subservient to American finance capital and in a state of terminal decline.

The prospects of reversing these trends is bleak, especially if political power shifts to a political Left equally committed to diversity and the repression of patriotic sentiment. But leaving the Conservative party in the dustbin of history may be a start to what remains of the English, Scottish and Welsh nations reasserting themselves.

  1. The Tories have done enough damage to the UK for now. Now it’s Labour’s turn to continue doing damage. Once Labour gets exhausted it will be the Tories’ turn again.

    God bless democracy, it’s truly a wonderful system.

  2. Notsofast says:

    excellent article and yes, sunak was crushed, as he was ordered by his masters to fall on his sword. the same with macron in france, as the unseen ruling oligarchs have decided to change the puppet show. now the even greasier keir starmer will be at the helm of the rms titanic 2. this is the reward for this zionist sycophant, who sabotaged and ousted jeremy corbyn, as he was ordered to do by his masters, for his “anti-semitic” support of the long suffering palestinian peoples struggle to reclaim their homeland. corbyn won his seat as an independent in this same election but george galloway lost his seat to a labour candidate, a net loss, as this is trading a lion for a lamb, that will devoured by hyenas, as he was before.

    if there is any good news, it is this: the political changes we see here and in the e.u., accompanied by dumping of the brandon regime in the u.s., seem to signal the ruling oligarchs acceptance of a new multipolar world, which will include a palestinian state, marking the end of zionism and heralding the demise of the zioneocon hegemonic rule.

    of course this won’t help the middle class in the western world, as the parasites will now only be able to cannibalize their own citizens, as they are thrown out of their former colonial possessions, which will align behind russia and china in brics. yes, a new day is dawning in the east, as the sun sets on the zioneocon empire in the west, too bad we won’t be able to enjoy it.

  4. Keith, time gives perspective. Back in the day I looked at Maggie Thatcher as right old nasty c*nt – mostly due to the happenings in the Six Counties at the time. She still doesn’t give me a warm and fuzzy feeling -but something has to be said of her economic policies. The Brits were very far down the socialist road when she came into power, and to do the thing she did to the British economy took a woman with titanium balls. Just speaking economically, was Maggie wrong? At the end of the day I say no, because something needed to be done. Could it have been done differently? Maybe. Northern England & Scotland suffered under the change in policy -only because they were so far down the socialist road to begin with –and Maggie wasn’t wasting any time. She made Reagan look like an old Connemara granny knitting Aran sweaters -but the US wasn’t in the same position as the Brits. So, like most historical characters she is being seen in a different light than when she was going full throttle the early 1980s. BTW even back then I never saw Sinn Fein as the answer for the North’s problem – but the Irish people were in a rough spot.

  6. I agree with much, but the author seems to have slept through during the last 14 years.
    The Tories attacked the City and those rentiers, in particular the still productive often non-dom ones, throughout that period, just speak to a tax adviser.
    Why else do you think they have left and are still leaving in droves?!
    And most of the immigration from 97 to 2016 was EU citizens, not culturally foreign one.
    Without them, the UK would have been and be even worse off, particularly skill-wise.
    Thatcher’s goose might not have laid many golden eggs, but it did lay some and many regular ones.
    Injuring and hamstringing it without having an alternative is what brought about the UK’s current problems.
    Labour doesn’t have one either, and wasting billions to enrich the pharma industry, MIC and green oligarchs is just that: a colossal waste of taxpayer money.

    The milestone, I would say mill-stone events in Britain’s economic history;

    a:) The CIA and Rothschild installed Heath government of 1970.

    b:) Heath’s Chancellor Barbour’s 20%+ hyper-inflationary property/landlord/rentier boom.

    c:) Heath’s joining the EEC, 1973, with no mandate on the orders of his boss, head of his Policy Unit since 1970, Victor Rothschild.

    d:) Heath’s pointless battle with the mineworkers whose wages could hardly support their families. Resulting three-day week, manufacturing shutdown and losses, power-cuts etc.

    e:) Inflation impoverished all and sucked in imports from the EEC, domestic manufacturing, agriculture etc. slumped.

    f:) The rationalised, re-organised by Wilson state-run car industry got its act together under one management just as it was under-cut by a flood of European imports, plagued by strikes and power-cuts.

    j:) Unnecessary IMF loan’s conditions necessitate unnecessary public-sector pay freezes -private sector doesn’t comply. Inherited from Heath inflation still over 20%. More women enter workforce as two wages were needed to keep households in necessities.

    k:) Public-sector and nationalised industries’ workers strike for living-wage. Massive oil revenues being hidden, government rolling in money, even repay never necessary IMF loan, plus interest, whilst pleading poverty, don’t reverse IMF conditions imposed. Winter of discontent.

    l:) Thatcher. The end. As good as. Highly profitable state-run industries, 35 years of post-war capital investment, sold off at knock-down prices. End of integrated manufacturing economy, end of balanced diverse shock-proof economy, forever thereafter export-import trade deficit.

    Thatcher didn’t have economic policies. Nations’ economies are not comparable to running a domestic household budget. She had two-minders fixtures who couldn’t be removed: her first Chancellor Geoffrey Howe, her second Chancellor Nigel Lawson. She was Prime-Minister in name only, they controlled her, she had no mind or agency of her own. Their not her economic policies amounted to wholesale theft, robbery, enriching very few, impoverishing very many tens of millions.

    You can have no conception of the bleak scene that confronted school-leavers in the 1980s, everything they had grown up with and expected: full-employment, pay that could provide for a home and family had been pulled out from under them at one stroke.

    They were the generation who’d never had it so bad, who would experience a much lower standard of living than their parents had. Exploitation for slave wages -no more than pocket-money, homelessness, drugs and grinding poverty, early deaths were their lot.

  10. “Deregulation has also allowed the UK to become a global centre for financial fraud.”

    I remember reading about the below. Thanks for a great article.

    UK is most corrupt country in the world, says mafia expert Roberto Saviano.

    ‘It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not the politics but what is corrupt is the financial capital’ Britain is the most corrupt country in the world, according to journalist Roberto Saviano, who spent more than a decade exposing the criminal dealings of the Italian Mafia.

    Mr Saviano, who wrote the best-selling exposés Gomorrah andZeroZeroZero, made the comments at the Hay Literary Festival. The 36-year-old has been living under police protection since publishing revelations about members of the Camorra, a powerful Neapolitan branch of the mafia, in 2006.

    He told an audience at Hay-on-Wye: “If I asked you what is the most corrupt place on Earth you might tell me well it’s Afghanistan, maybe Greece, Nigeria, the South of Italy and I will tell you it’s the UK.

    “It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not the politics but what is corrupt is the financial capital. 90 per cent of the owners of capital in London have their headquarters offshore. “Jersey and the Cayman’s are the access gates to criminal capital in Europe and the UK is the country that allows it. That is why it is important why it is so crucial for me to be here today and to talk to you because I want to tell you , this is about you, this is about your life, this is about your government.”

  18. Poor old Adam Smith was a great opponent of rentier extraction. Such parasitism in humans mirrors parasitism in nature as a whole. The parasite sucks the life-blood out of its host, and either lives in a stable and enduring relationship, or kills the host and, often, itself also.
    Capitalism goes further by being, innately, neoplastic. It must grow, like the cancer, if only to pay the interest on debt, or sate the avarice of the capitalist caste. Marx predicted the financialisation of capital, as the rate of return on productive investment inevitably fell, and, once again, he is proved correct. ‘Interest grows without rain’, as they say.

    Aristotelian concept signifying „friendship“ – ethno-cultural consensus between members of the same city.

    For Aristotle, democracy is possible only within homogeneous ethnic groups, while despots have always reigned over highly fragmented societies.

    A multi-ethnic society is thus necessarily anti-democratic and chaotic, for it lacks philia, this profound, flesh- and blood fraternity of citizens.
    Tyrants and despots divide and rule, they want the City divided by ethnic rivalries.
    The indispensable condition for ensuring a people’s sovereignty accordingly resides in ist unity.
    Ethnic chaos prevents all philia from developing.

    When you factor in what Marschalko called The World Conquerers in his book of the same name, the money game is a bit like the empire game where some glory goes to this royal family for a bit, but the players all retain their initial value. When the Dutch moved their money to Paris and London, London got the top spot because the Rothschilds, like everyone else, did not trust the French.

    I am struck by the similarity, though with staggered delivery, of the Thatcherite debauch of Britain and how it compares with the Reagan-installed rentier USA or the Mulroney hit on the average Canadian.

    Speaking from outside Britain’s degenerate regime of ‘tyrannical policing of civil society,’ I can safely aver that I found the alien visage of Sunak impersonating the prime minister nauseating. Evidently millions within the UK agreed, and trounced the Tories like never before in their muffled rage, disgust and resentment over their cultural marginalisation.

    the political changes happening in the NATO assembled west ..signal the ruling oligarchs acceptance of a new multipolar world, but it also signals that the disenfranchise governed masses have little chance to fix things by elections. Much greater changes than elections can bring about are needed. The election trends suggest multipolarity may return the economies of the NATO assembled west from their current Financialisation economies back to competitive goods and services producing economies. But we are I believe two world war away from that change to take effect. Until the masses can force a change greater than the wealthy can generate, economic education and economic systems will always favor the rich and powerful.

    ‘Financialisation’ has crowded out manufacturing and non-financial services, leeched government of skilled staff, entrenched regional disparities, fostered large-scale financial rent-seeking, heightened economic dependence, increased inequality, helped disenfranchise the majority and exposed the economy to violent crises. Britain is subject to ‘country capture’ with the economy constrained by finance, and the polity and media under its influence.[3]

    Why does money laundering affect things? Corruption in the public sector far exceeds private corruption?
    governments have been separated from the people they governed. The fence separating those who govern from the governed masses is the digital platform. Its built of bits placed on top of physical networks and is guarded by authentication technology and policed by elite dependant warriors.

    Nothing is going to get better until the system fails and the masses send the wealthy and politicians, economist , bankers, social and political scientists and corporate executive elite, not just in one nation, but in every nation, all at the same time, to the guillotine because those on top have no reason whatsoever to change things and those at the bottom do not understand the cause of the problem, they just live with it.

Both types love hard sciences and Thatcher graduated with a Chemistry major. In politics her Understanding was that of the Chicago school and all of her Will was devoted to implementing their monetrist policies. There were problems with Britain’s industrial base due to the terrible class system still inherent in British society since the Norman Conquest, the unions and management never cooperated. Thus something needed to be done and the monetrist remedy was to liquidate all the physical assets to obtain cash. Like all Aspies she was a prisoner of her psychological beliefs.

The UK is the warmaking entity, dedicated to Eternal War, and without it we could at least hope for a peace. Both England and Scotland would then need to repudiate the ILLUSORY DEBT of the UK.
    Hope I live long enough to see this. Scotland would say to England, ‘Here’s trident – you can have it back!’ the English would reply, “Aargh, no, we don’t want it!’ the British only want their nuclear subs provided they can be kept in Scotland.

  41. The fundamental transformation in the British economy since the 1980s is the movement away from an economy that made things to an economy that made money .

    It’s fashionable to lay this at Thatcher’s doorstep, but it actually began long before her prime ministership.

    In the 1970s, the Callaghan government couldn’t even get the trash collected and had trouble keeping the lights and heat on. The government went hat in hand to the IMF for an epic bailout, something formerly thought of as a last resort for mismanaged third world sh*tholes.

    In the 1960s, deficit problems forced Britain to devalue the pound and renege on its Bretton Woods exchange rate commitments. Britain’s industrial production since WWII had been manifestly weak, though its financial sector was not therefore strong.

    Though it was an early progenitor of the industrial revolution, it wasn’t the earliest. In the sixteenth century Thomas More was already complaining that British landowners were enclosing pastures and evicting farmers to raise wool to export as raw material to the Low Countries’ spinning mill industry (on French-designed looms).

    By founding new colonies and conquering new markets over the next centuries, Britain managed to make itself the industrial center of a new imperial mercantile system, but by the early twentieth century cracks were already beginning to show. American, German, and even Japanese manufacturers were making better and/or cheaper products. Great Britain could shield itself from this reality temporarily behind tariff walls, but even waging a couple of world wars did not see off the threat and by the second half of the twentieth century Britain had to face that its manufacturing was not globally competitive and had only ‘succeeded’ within the system of imperial preferences. By Thatcher’s time the choice was between losing everything and becoming another late-stage Rome/Byzantium/Portugal/[insert former imperial capital here] or salvaging the financial machinery and becoming a global trade/finance/money laundering hub. Thatcher and every subsequent government chose the latter. Was that the right choice? I dunno. C.f. Rome/Byzantium/Portugal/etc.

    If it’s any consolation, this may be the inevitable fruit of imperial hegemony. Returns from monopsonies and influence peddling crowd out genuine productivity, until the system eventually succumbs to competition from producers who didn’t evolve under those distortions. The same thing is happening to the formerly mighty USA, the inheritor of Britain’s global hegemon mantle, just a generation or two delayed from Britain’s experience.

    The English Inbreds desperately need collateral and the ME is the last hope after loosing Ukraine. I am afraid the Palestinians will be consumed especially with Hamas using the Algerian model of resistance, Martyrs in return for liberation. Algerians lost a million to the French.
    Shadow Banking’s center is the UK where all the psychopaths of the world from dictators to drug dealers pay no taxes and enjoy full secrecy. They need collateral to keep it going in the face of BRICs demanding Gold for commodities or tangible for tangible. No more “faith and credit” after seizing Russia’s billions.

    It is not all bad news.

    No more vague legislation by the whores in Congresd and no more interpretations by the Ziocons soaked Deep State and in the end deference by the courts to the Deep State.

    The last Prime Minister who in any way cared about British people was Harold Wilson who twice came into office after Tory credit expansion wrecking ball policies – 1964 and 1974 – but was gone before N Sea Oil revenues came onstream

    Thatcher simply wiped out male employment as was an early Green/Global Warming believer who was surrounded by Communists like Alfred Sherman and opportunists like Hanson and Sterling and liquidated State assets at a discount to prevent re-nationalisation

    Thatcher destroyed Solutions but left Problems untouched

    It’s alternative history. No mention of colonialism and empire.

    It also has a strange take on the industrial production numbers post WWII. On 1950 most of the industrial Europe was in ruins, so of course UK had “25%” and naturally by 60s (Marshall plan ring a bell?) Germany was producing again.

    Also as an American, it is not my sense that we corrupted UK, rather the other way around. UK was ahead of US in letting the “rentiers” take the whole cake. This happened in US in Clinton’s tenure not Reagan’s.

    Post 9/11, it were the British that were lecturing US audiences on “how to act like an empire” and urging US to accept it is an “empire”.

    Cultural products in US are now almost wall to wall British accents and British actors. It is shocking the extent that the UK cultural machine has penetrated the American cultural space.

    Finally, it is really hard to feel sad for poor British. They were sucking the morrow of the world for at least 100 years and is the nation that gave (((Banksters))) their first sovereign fortress. So Karma?

    Just from your first paragraph, you show you need to do more research.

    So, you mentioned the Age of Discovery that Europeans did during the last 500 years, which mapped the entire planet and built cities world wide, along with abolishing the slave trade through out the Islamic World [which you call Colonialism].

    When one talks about the world, one should first be familiar with other civilisations. I go line by line.

    mapped the entire planet

    What enabled them to do these things?
    Calculations using the numeral zero (0) – invented by the Indians, transmitted through the Muslims
    Naviational Compass – invented by the Chinese 12th century
    Sextant – invented by the Muslims 8th century
    Stern rudder – invented by the Chinese 5th century
    Paper for maps – invented by the Chinese 2nd century
    Water tight compartments – invented by the Chinese 2nd century

    One should not sound like a rich kid who inherited a fortune from his father, yet boasts that he “succeeded” all on his own steam.

    built cities world wide

    You mean colonised world wide.
    You might think of it as compliment, but 85% of the population of the world does not. To them, it speaks of a particular avarice and warlikeness of Europeans.
    Here is what Mahathir, former Prime Minister of Malaysia had to say:
    We have traded with China for 2000 years, and they have never tried to conquer us. Yet within 50 years of contact with the Europeans, they had already begun to take our cities (Malacca).
    I add that the Malaysians had a similar experience with India, with whom they had trade and cultural links for even longer than China, yet never conquered them.

    One should not flatter oneself and think of European colonisation as a “gift to the world”. There is another way to look at it, …… like “an infestation out of control”.

    abolishing the slave trade through out the Islamic World

    Why do you focus on the Muslim part of the slave trade, when the Europeans were a major part of it? This is called “shifting the blame”.

    Why are you so proud of abolishing something that your people were so intimately involved in the first place. It is like saying “I am such a good guy, because after murdering my brother, I repented. See how good I am?”

    Besides, Europe was hardly the first to abolish chattel slavery. The Chinese did it circa 250BC.

    Of the three book religions, Christianity fits the European population best, because its core message (altruism) corresponds with the survival concept of co-operation, without which the Nordic peoples could not have survived either the Ice Age or the period that followed. In contrast to the Saracens, who raided European coasts for centuries and plundered them year after year, European seafarers (Portuguese and Dutch) brought trade and change, built bases, raised the standard of living of the locals and in this way unwittingly ensured the global population explosion. In the New World, things were a little different, but only because of firearms. Prior to this, the indigenous population had mercilessly decimated each other. Before you start counting civilisational achievements against each other, you should rather ask who was prepared to share them for the benefit of all. Some ethnic groups completely lack the desire to help the weaker, which is why Westerners are now paying the price for being too good-natured.

    The UK was also the first government to pioneer Public Private Partnerships, under which public services and infrastructure are outsourced to private companies to collect rents, though much of the financial risk remains with the state.

    This is NOT Capitalism.

    These Public Private Partnerships (PPP’s) are examples of CRONY CORPORATISM – whereby the oligarchs collude with government to receive monopoly positions in those industries that are privatised.

    In Free Market Capitalism :

    1) There are NO BARRIERS to prevent new competitors from entering the market at any time to keep the established players honest (seeing as the latter may be overcharging and/or under-delivering on service and quality).

    2) When the government sells off an asset to the private sector (which is invariably run less efficiently than by the private sector in a competitive environment), said private entity would assume ALL RISKS thereafter.
    In other words, if the private sector entrepreneur makes a loss, the private entity should be liable.

    Summary: NO DEAL SHOULD EVER BE DONE WHERE THE PUBLIC IS ON THE HOOK TO BAIL OUT/SUBSIDISE THE ENTITY that purchased the privatised asset.

    The taxpayer should NEVER bail out the new owner if they come unstuck due to reckless business practices and mismanagement (as occurred during the 2008 GFC when the U.S taxpayer bailed out all manner of ZOG miscreants).

    When the government does a deal with an oligarch after selling off a state owned asset, whereby they assume some of the financial risk, this a case of:
    Heads the Oligarch wins, Tails the taxpayer loses.

    This a CORRUPT deal and, assuming it’s not illegal, it should be.
    Said politician that signed off on the deal, should be named and shamed (and thereafter prosecuted and subject to a lengthy custodial sentence).

  66. Like all Statists that believe in Bloated Big Gubmint, Keith Woods writes:

    Deregulation has also allowed the UK to become a global centre for financial fraud.

    Keith Woods believes that such and such crisis/financial collapse/[insert national cataclysm of your choice] could have been averted if only we had a FEW MORE REGULATIONS in the books, if only we had a few more parasitic lavishly remunerated bureaucrats monitoring the greedy and rapacious private sector.

    Let me help you Mr Woods, and simplify matters by introducing one law only that covers every situation.
    Yes, let’s make a law that says:

    Henceforth, CRIME WILL BE ILLEGAL.

    And how effective do you think that will be? Of course criminals, by definition, do NOT OBSERVE THE LEGAL STATUTES. (That’s why they’re called ‘criminals’).
    FACT: There have never been more laws in the books than right now, and yet there is MORE CORRUPTION and fraud (certainly in qualitative terms), than in the past when far fewer laws had been legislated.

    Meanwhile, let’s take a real world example of something that occurred on September 11, 2001.
    For EFF’S SAKE, I suspect there were more than a few regulations/laws at that time (relating to treason), which outlawed the input of those traitors in the U.S Government, Military and Intel agencies who aided and abetted the Mossad in carrying out that False Flag.

    But what good did those regulations do if ZOG controls the government and all the regulatory/three letter agencies – who were told to turn a blind eye. (Just like the SEC, a government financial regulatory agency, turned a blind eye for years to the activities of Bernie Madoff).
    This is nicely explained by the following excerpt, extracted from a newletter from the great libertarian Tom Woods Phd:

    The recent history of the United States, for instance, is largely the story of elites creating problems that they later tried to take credit for solving, when in fact those problems resolved themselves on their own.

    That portion of the public that cheerleads for the elite has been taught to believe the myth of the omniscient regulator. No matter what goes wrong, enough wise regulators could have stopped it.

    On the verge of the 2008 financial meltdown, for example, there were 115 state and federal agencies whose job it was to oversee the financial sector. We’re supposed to believe that if only we’d had 116, everything would have been fine?

    Not to mention: the chief regulator of the banking system is the Federal Reserve System, and its chairman could see no serious problems with the economy leading up to the meltdown.

    What’s more, they want us to believe that nonexistent “deregulation” caused this and other problems.
    Why? Because it therefore follows that on our own we can’t be trusted, and thus we need the wise guidance of the elites as they keep watch over the economy and our lives.

    SUMMARY: There is only one solution that MINIMISES financial fraud (there is no magic prescription that will eliminate fraud and other criminal behaviour, as we’ll always have individuals lacking in integrity amongst us).

    And that is to radically downsize Big Gubmint, and decentralise as much as possible (so that local communites can monitor the expenditures/contracts awarded etc, at close quarters).
    If the few government departments that remains have LIMITED FUNDING and said politicians/bureaucrats within them have greatly diminished powers, then by definition the degree of fraud/corruption (financial or otherwise), will be greatly reduced.

This year, Sam Melia, an activist and organiser with Patriotic Alternative, was sentenced to two years in prison for “inciting racial hatred”. Melia had set up a group called the Hundred Handers on Telegram, which posted graphics intended for members to download and print as stickers. The stickers contained messages like “its OK to be white”, “love your nation” and “stop anti-white rape gangs”.

    The prosecution used materials found in a search of Melia’s house, such as a book by Oswald Mosley, as “key signs of Melia’s ideology that underpinned his desire to spread his racist views in a deliberate manner.” Thus, Melia’s private reading material was used as evidence that he harboured views the prosecution considered racist.

    At the trial itself, the prosecution acknowledged the language on the stickers were lawful, but were produced as a body of work intended to stir up racial hatred. The jury was also instructed to ignore any consideration of whether the statements on the stickers were actually true, as truth is no defence in cases such as this. The jury duly found Melia guilty, after which he was sentenced to two years in prison.”

    I’m starting to consider that the Jews are actually aliens who want to take over our planet and eliminate all the inhabitants.

    No, they’re not space-lizards. They obviously do want to take over the planet and eliminate or enslave the inhabitants. They are merely carrying out the will of their god, which is to steal, kill and destroy. Your own scripture tells who they are in no uncertain terms: The Synagogue of Satan.

    Instead of Christ’s summary of the commandments:

    “The most important one”, answered Jesus, “is this”: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ “There is no commandment greater than these”,

    the Jew-God Satan’s commandment is summarized in four one-syllable words: Do What Thou Wilt. It took a British Satanist to provide that blunt four-word summation of Judaism’s core worldview. Like a Jewish shyster ’splainin’ away some thug’s b.s. excuse for murder, the Talmud (Jew Holy Book) takes many thousands of words to subvert and invert (e.g. “interpret”) ten simple commandments. It’s kind of a template for the “Commentaries” of Cyrus Scofield (another ‘made’ man) on the Christian bible (talmud writ small). The Kosher Nosetra has no doubt backed up similar “commentaries” on the Quran and other peoples’ scared texts.

    The Kosher Nosetra were Nietzscheans two millenia before the unstable German ever existed. This Mafia of Mafias (which includes plenty of goyische ‘converts’ by the way) does indeed have supernatural power and is likewise favored by a ‘God’ (powerful spiritual force) of sorts (aka ‘God of This World’, ‘Prince of Persia’, ‘Beelzebub’, ‘Baphomet’, etc.). It’s just not the one the retarded Christian Zionists (who are nearly as clueless as the Rev. Jones’ flock in Guyana were) think it is. Of course your own Anti-Pope and his Vatican II flock are no different – following Rev. Hagee and his gang down into the very same smoldering pit. Hell of a job, Franny!

    Perhaps on the west coast of Africa up to the Cape of Good Hope this was the case.

    However on the east side, trade was already flourishing for centuries.

    The Austronesians and their Polynesian kin spread as far as Easter Island off the coast of Peru to Madagascar off the coast East Africa. If one looks at a map, the distances involved are truly astounding.

    On the western extreme of their range, Austronesians intermarried with the Madagascans and till this day the language spoken on the island (now called the Malagasy Republic) is an Austronesian language.

    The language spoken on the East Coast of Africa, or at least the lingua franca there is Swahili. It is composed of some 15% Arabic loanwords…testament of extensive contact with Arab sailors.

    There are are communities of people on the coast of East Africa who claim to be descendants of shipwrecked Chinese sailors.

    No, the Portuguese and Spanish did not come into a vacuum. They were eager to get a piece of lucrative trade that other sailors already told them about.

    What they did have, was an improved version of firearms (originally invented by the Chinese), that enabled them to match their ambitions with military might.

    Before you start counting civilisational achievements against each other, you should rather ask who was prepared to share them for the benefit of all.

    There is sharing, and there is exploiting.

    If the colonisers taught the “natives” how to make firearms, production technology, split the gold and silver extracted from the mines with them….then I would call that sharing.

    But if the colonisers only taught their language so that the natives could be instructed with ease, taught their religion featuring a “White Saviour” so that the natives would be docile, force them to produce raw materials such as grain and cotton and minerals, while they kept the processing industries in Europe….and obliging the natives to BUY BACK the processed goods…..then that would be exploitation.

    Westerners are now paying the price for being too good-natured.

    I have a different explanation for why Westerners are paying the price. And it is not about being good natured.

    Western civilisation has been a victim of its own success. I wrote a reply to another poster featuring this same explanation, so I hope you will excuse me if I cut and paste:

    Since the election of Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government in 1979, Britain has undergone a great experiment. Economically, the UK became the exemplar of neoliberalism in Europe. Politically, the UK has quietly transitioned to a postnational state, undergoing one of the greatest demographic transformations in the West.

    Incredible socialist propaganda. It was the LEFT that started mass immigration to Britain. But socialists always lie, otherwise they wouldn’t be socialist.

    And “experiment”? Labour in the 1980s was taken over by communists who had frozen the labor market. They made it extremely costly and difficult for businesses to fire employees. “Look, we’re saving your jobs, vote for us!” The result was that businesses also couldn’t hire employees, as they knew that when there was a downturn in their branch some years later they couldn’t fire those they had hired. So job opportunities were lost and Britain lost production of goods and services.

    But that just meant the socialist state got more people to bribe with unemployment benefits. This was the typical Social Democrat system for buying votes throughout the Cold War: Freeze the job market, so you can claim you’re “saving the jobs.” Then buy off those who will inevitably be unemployed as a result.

    Make them dependent on welfare through years of inactivity. These will be your voters and your protesters, as they have no jobs to keep them away from protests.

    But the British were still a majority in their own country, and enough people saw through the scheme. They voted for the Tories instead. Margaret Thatcher saved the economy, and therefore won three election victories with huge margin. For this leftists like Keith Woods here hate her immensely.

    Thanks to Margaret Thatcher the economy flourished. And as a revenge, the Labour socialists actually put their plan for mass immigration in print. The idea was to replace the hated British voters with immigrant voters. They actually wrote this.

    And Tony Blair was their main agent, while pretending that he had ditched their Marxism. They simply chose Cultural Marxism to bring in immigrants, so they can have their economic Marxism later.

    That’s exactly what the Labour government of Tony Blair did — as we found out in 2009. In public, Blair’s government claimed that the mass immigration of the Third World to Britain was absolutely crucial to the economy!

    Once they were out of office, Blair adviser Andrew Neather admitted that their real objective had been “to rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date,” as the London Telegraph reported in 2009.

    Jack Straw has admitted that throwing open Britain’s borders to Eastern European migrants was a ‘spectacular mistake’.

    The former Home Secretary said Labour’s 2004 decision to hand immediate working rights to Poles and migrants from other new EU states was a ‘well-intentioned policy we messed up’.

    His comments emerged on the same day as his successor as Home Secretary, David Blunkett, warned that the influx of Roma migrants into Britain risked causing riots.

    Mr Blunkett’s comments reinforced the significance of Mr Straw’s admission about Labour’s failure to anticipate the scale of migration when eight former Soviet bloc nations became EU members, and Britain – almost alone in Europe – allowed the free movement of workers between countries.

    At the time, the Government predicted up to 13,000 migrants would come to Britain each year. The actual total over nearly a decade was more than a million.

    Virtually every other EU state, apart from Ireland and Sweden, kept their jobs markets closed for the seven years permitted.

    Labour MPs are so dumb they can’t even predict the probability of two coins flipping to heads:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-19801666

    A total of 97 MPs were asked this probability problem: if you spin a coin twice, what is the probability of getting two heads?*

    To summarize, regarding Britain:

    Labour in 1968 started British legislation against “race and sex discrimination,” creating the Jew-written Race Relations Act.

    Labour’s Jewish Home Secretary *Frank Soskice was succeeded by Roy Jenkins in 1965, with Jewish *Anthony Lester behind him.

    *Anthony Lester wrote Home Secretary Jenkins’ important race speech. He was the leading race campaigner in the Society of Labour Party Lawyers, and on the Society’s Race Relations Committee. He dictated to the extreme socialist Roy Jenkins how to write race laws.

    In 1975 *Anthony Lester wrote Labour’s principles for new race legislation, in White Paper on Racial Discrimination.

    At this time, and especially after ruining the economy and losing to Margaret Thatcher three times in a row, Labour planned mass importation of new voters.

    The head of the five top Jewish lobby groups in Europe, Moshe Kantor created the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation, for writing “tolerance” laws. It was first headed by Polish Social Democrat Aleksander Kwasniewski, and since then by Labour’s Tony Blair.

    The work at the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation rests on Moshe Kantor and Yoram Dinstein – an Israeli who among other things has worked at the extremely socialist Amnesty International, in every European country staffed by Marxists and Social Democrats. In Britain Amnesty is almost completely filled by Labour members.

    When Brexit happened, *Ari Paul, who writes for pro-Labour The Guardian and the extremely socialist Jacobin in the U.S., connected Brexit and national governance to The Holocaust.

    In short, Keith Woods is lying.

    Thatcherism worked well for some 40 years. Pretty successful overall. It managed to offset the losses of productive capacities in Britain by creating financial markets that allowed to buy shares of profitable and productive foreign ressources. Except for the USA other countries were far behind on this strategy. The capital flow into the UK was enormous. The case for mass integration was really brought forward by Blair‘s 1st admin and continues for 25+ years. Now after decades they have to retest their approach.

    With arrogance like this, China closed its doors and closed its minds and it stagnated. A century later, British gunboats arrived and forced opium on the Qing, and they were powerless to stop them.

    Along with little things like the rule of law. China was a tyranny. All local leaders could do what they wanted with the people. The leaders could put thumbscrews on their servants to torture them for fun. And those same local leaders, if they made too much money, could be imprisoned or killed by the court who stole their money for the emperor.

    They were astonished that the British in Hong Kong had laws that were equal for all, so that a powerful man could be prosecuted for killing a prostitute.

    As for the opium, what a neatly blind story you have there, straight from socialist propaganda. No context as usual. First of all, the Chinese wanted to buy opium – do you seriously think the British were the sellers? LOL They sold to Chinese who sold to other Chinese.

    What actually happened was this: Tea grew in China. Through no effort of their own. Tea was needed in Europe because water had to be boiled before drinking it, and boiled water is horribly tasteless. So the British started drinking tea and also exported it to the rest of Europe.

    But the court of eunuchs around the emperor demanded that all payment be made in silver. And they refused to buy anything from the British, stating that they were superior and needed nothing from the outsiders.

    Those court eunuchs are not “the Chinese”. The British did not have a conflict with “the Chinese”.

    All the silver in Britain started pouring into China. The entire British economy was at risk.

    Eventually a British ship unloaded opium in a Chinese port, and sold it to the local leaders for silver. Opium quickly became popular. And from the sale of opium the British could get their silver back.

    That is why the eunuchs banned the opium trade. It wasn’t “the Chinese.” And it wasn’t out of any concern for “the people.” It was to keep the silver in China.

    That is why the British fought a quick war to keep the opium trade going, and they were supported by millions of Chinese, including local rulers. Who took part in the opium trade and who loved seeing the eunuchs get beaten.

    The only ones who actually opposed opium out of humanitarian concerns were the British. The resistance was in the British parliament. And that is why the British eventually banned the trade. They had smuggled out tea to grow it in India instead. Which the Chinese eunuchs should have agreed to, for the good of all, but they had refused.

    And by the way, the British and other Whites forced the Chinese to abandon slavery, real and de facto. Even the Chinese Buddhist monks had slaves working their fields.

    As with the Indian tribes in the Americas, the Africans, the Ottomans, the Central Asians, and more, they only gave up slavery when Whites forced them to.

    But evil British, opium trade, capitalismmmm, etc.

    The Chinese never abolished slavery. You don’t know what you are talking about. To many people have a very incorrect European view of China’s. 14 years ago I shared house with 2 Chinese girls in Dublin. Although they would never be allowed into the country with a refugee status, they were allowed with a student visa which they renewed on a yearly basis. The only precondition was to be studying in Ireland. 2 years ago I heard they were still in Ireland, one married an Irishmen , the other one is still studying in Ireland. The student visa thing is big business in Ireland and often it is the only way for foreigners to stay in the country. Universities in Dublin and all over Ireland make millions of these foreigners.
    What they told me about China was seriously scary stuff. Having a good job and a trusted employer means working 6 days a week 12 14 16 hours no exception. When you are seriously lucky you will get some holidays but not certain. When it’s busy at work your boss without scrupules will call you to come in on Sunday also. There’s Chinese companies who don’t allow their workers to leave for months. Can you imagine that ?
    Chinese are anti-altruistic. There’s camps for small people aka midgets and they are forced to do shows in circuses , wear funny clothes so others can make fun at them.

    Don’t make me laugh,opium wasn’t forced on anyone in China and it was just used as a trade off by the British East India company and China for Chinese tea which the British bought back to Britain on Clipper ship after Clipper ship and at the time tea drinking was the extremely popular caffeine drug of choice in Britain and so it was essentially just a drug trade off and the Chinese could very easily have said NO but they didn’t because trade means money and the ones making all the money couldn’t have cared less about the serious opium addictions in China or the obviously far less serious caffeine addictions in Britain.

    “Not nearly enough talk about the shadow banksters at the very very top if you ask me…”

    That’s because these motherfuckers don’t know who they truly are but you’re on the right path by naming the Rothschilds and Company…

    Imagine on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in which Napoleon Bornaparte was defeated by the British, rendering it the remaining sole superpower of the then world.

    Meanwhile, in the preceding few years or a few decades, the old man Rothschilds had been busy setting up his boys is five different cities of Europe, including London, a de facto capital of the world, where Nathan Rothschilds, the one believed to be the smartest was sent. Now, up to that time most of the world’s assets were not monetized like they’re today but the British were on their way through the London bourse. And the British wealth was displayed for all to see on the stock market.

    Back to the war: things weren’t going smoothly as had been expected and there was panic in the market and assets were being sold off for pennies on the pound. Step in Nathan and the collective cash of the money changers across Europe to buy up what was being dumped. And with the control of the bulk of the shares, Rothschilds family had for the first time became the effective masters of the world and thereafter, all subsequent British wars and colonization was done on the behalf of the bankers, which has made them immensely wealthy (there isn’t a world in any language to describe the amount of wealth) to the point of all modern governments being beholden to them.

    And don’t let anyone bullshit you into thinking that that takeover of the London market has nothing to do with that ability to print, lend and control money of the world central banks today… it has been compounding all through the last few centuries to the detriment of the humanity.

    Maybe it’s only one family or a dozen or so families but it’s definitely not in the hands of non Rothschilds entities… we’re all merely borrowers.

    ANARCHO-TYRANNY IN THE USA

    The JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire is using ANARCHO-TYRANNY to stay in power.

    The JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire uses open borders mass immigration and open borders mass illegal alien invasions to create anarchy.

    The JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire is cracking down on pro-peace, anti-war Americans because JEWS ORGANIZED GLOBALLY(JOG) is more than happy to use tyranny to attack and destroy those who would thwart their will.

    ANARCHO-TYRANNY defintion:

    Criminalize the European Christian ancestral core of the United States while allowing foreigners and non-Whites and non-Christians to do whatever the hell they feel like. Use the ensuing chaos to bring about totalitarianism directed at White Core Americans to prevent them from retaliating against the plutocrats and others who benefit from the loss of cultural cohesion and societal breakdown.

    Sam Francis and others have suggested that the push for race replacement or WHITE GENOCIDE is because the ruling class wants to create conditions of political mayhem and civilizational mayhem that can only be governed by a centralized managerial ruling class that will concentrate all governmental power.

    Sam Francis suggested that the managerial state is using mass immigration as a demographic weapon to create the conditions where political power is completely centralized and dissent is not tolerated.

    Sam Francis was getting at the Hobbesian Leviathan scenario where a multicultural jurisdiction requires brute concentrated force to keep it together because the inherent ethnic antagonisms are so severe.

    THE AMERICAN EMPIRE’S EVIL, TREASONOUS AND DEMONIC RULING CLASS IS USING ANARCHO-TYRANNY TO ATTACK WHITE CORE AMERICA

    Sam Francis on ANARCHO-TYRANNY from a 1993 speech(Chronicles Magazine 1994):

    In the United States today, the government performs many of its functions more or less effectively. The mail is delivered (sometimes); the population, or at least part of it, is counted (sort of); and taxes are collected (you bet). You can accuse the federal leviathan of many things—corruption, incompetence, waste, bureaucratic strangulation—but mere anarchy, the lack of effective government, is not one of them. Yet at the same time, the state does not perform effectively or justly its basic duty of enforcing order and punishing criminals, and in this respect its failures do bring the country, or important parts of it, close to a state of anarchy. But that semblance of anarchy is coupled with many of the characteristics of tyranny, under which innocent and law-abiding citizens are punished by the state or suffer gross violations of their rights and liberty at the hands of the state. The result is what seems to be the first society in history in which elements of both anarchy and tyranny pertain at the same time and seem to be closely connected with each other and to constitute, more or less, opposite sides of the same coin.

    This condition, which in some of my columns I have called “anarcho-tyranny,” is essentially a kind of Hegelian synthesis of what appear to be dialectical opposites: the combination of oppressive government power against the innocent and the law-abiding and, simultaneously, a grotesque paralysis of the ability or the will to use that power to carry out basic public duties such as protection or public safety. And, it is characteristic of anarcho-tyranny that it not only fails to punish criminals and enforce legitimate order but also criminalizes the innocent.

    “Britain has shifted from an entrepreneurial capitalism to rentier capitalism…” – Keith Woods

    Hahaha, very funny. British economy was and had always been based on “rentier capitalism.” Have people ever wondered why should the “colonies provided the raw materials and markets for British manufacturing,” as the author states? Did the colonies had any choice? Did they sell the raw materials at fair price? The so-called “entrepreneurship” means enterprising in making use of the British military and violence to find ways to exploit the world, through slavery, genocides, wars, drug trade, bribing every corrupted and traitors to squeeze the last teal of silver from Qing, from ROC and from all the colonies around the world. Why do you think the late comers in the colonial games like US, Germany and Japan were hell-bent wanting to break the colonial empires and their systems – if not because the colonies provided indisputable advantages to British rentier economy? Why didn’t British willing to give up Hong Kong, until the last second in 1997, if the city didn’t provide any return to London?

    “Britain was the birthplace of the industrial revolution” – Keith Woods

    The so-called “industrial revolution” was never about industrial nor technical revolution or invention. It was a revolution in international “laws”, in global rules and orders, a.k.a. globalization, in “free trade”, in blatant stealing of intellectual properties, etc, all pioneered by the Europeans. For example, the latest research by Chinese scholars reveals that lots of Newton’s “inventions” and Principia were copied from Chinese and others.

    Steam power was known to Chinese long ago. The Chinese couldn’t exploit the power because its market was fully employed and saturated, and they didn’t go around conquering and colonizing others for new markets and raw materials. The British, however didn’t have those type of moral constraints and civilizational awareness – because “greed is good” and white people “was superior.” So it was fully “justifiable” and natural for them to spread their systems, religion and knowledge to those shithole countries.

    about “immigrants…” and other rants

    If the British and Europeans could use forces to enter other countries, what’s wrong for others to migrate back to their former colonizers, PEACEFULLY, at least to enjoy the remnants of the exploits? If the British is truly people of entrepreneurialism, fair trade, and inventors, go ahead to start the rejuvenation through their own internal revolutions and renaissance, like what Chinese was doing 100 years ago. At least Chinese is not actively doing anything to stop the British, like what the British ancestors had done to others. But I am very confident 100 years from now, the little Britain will remain little, because they are just a bunch of robbers, thieves and pirates.

    What you said is true of the time, when China was rotten with corruption. Please note that China too had laws that under better administration would have functioned better.

    But one must be careful to compare apple to apple. One must compare 2 systems when they both function well/healthy, or when they are both in a corrupted state. Once cannot compare a rotten one with a healthy one.

    Britain at that stage was in a stage in the cycle when it was relatively healthy. Where although there was oligarchic/monarchic rule, the good outweighed the bad, and Britain as a whole prospered. To put things in a better perspective, we should compare it to Britain of today…

The public does not realize that in all the conflicts within nations and in the conflicts between nations there are, besides the people apparently responsible for them, hidden agitators who with their selfish plans make these conflicts unavoidable… There are moments when the history of empires only nominally exists, and when there is nothing really alive but the sects hidden within them… Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves controlled by the hidden hand.”
    – “… that mysterious russian diplomacy which so alarms western Europe is organised and principally carried on by jews; that mighty revolution which is at this moment preparing in Germany, and which will be, in fact, a second and greater reformation, and of which so little is as yet known in England, is entirely developing under the auspices of jews.”

    = David Lloyd George, british prime minister, ‘New Britain’ magazine, june 1934: “Great Britain is a slave under the international financial powers.”

    = Franklin D. Roosevelt, US president in a letter to an associate, 21st November 1933: “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.”

    = Theodore Roosevelt, former US president, “The progressive covenant with the people”, 1912: “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owning no allegiance and acknowledged no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul this unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of statesmanship.”

    = Clement Atlee, UK prime minister: “Over and over again we have seen that there is another power than that which has its seat at Westminster. The City of London, a convenient term for a collection of financial interests, is able to assert itself against the government of the country. Those who control money can pursue a policy at home and abroad contrary to that which is being decided by the people.”

    = Woodrow Wilson, former US president, “The New Freedom”: “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men… We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world – no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.”

    = Lord Hewart, Lord Chief Justice of England, “The New Despotism”, 1929: “A mass of evidence establishes the fact that there is in existence a persistent and well-contrived system, intending to produce, and in practice producing, a despotic power which at one and the same time places government departments beyond the sovereignty of parliament and beyond the jurisdiction of the courts.”

    = Jean Izoulet, member of the Jewish Alliance Israelite Universelle, 1931: “The meaning of the history of the last century is that today 300 jewish financers, all Masters of Lodges, rule the world.”

    = Walter Rathenau, jewish banker of the german keiser, Wiener Freie Presse, 24th december 1912: “Three hundred men, each of whom knows all the others, govern the fate of the european continent, and they elect their successor from their entourage.”

    = John Francis Hylan, Mayor of New York City, quoted in New York Times, speaking in Chicago, 26th march 1922: “The warning of Theodore Roosevelt has much timelines today, for the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the US government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties… [and] control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self-created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers and every agency created for the public protection…”

    = James Madison, US statesman, diplomat, philosopher and founding father: “History records that the money changers [jewish bankers] have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.”

    Contrary to what the Western media states–1n 1951 Tibet had 95% poverty and 97% illiteracy and it was a tough theocracy–those monks were not Christian monastic types but bullies carrying riding crops up their sleeves to punish who they might encounter–the peasants suffered from inherited debt going back generations.

    Let us see, GDP of South Korea is US$1.7 trillions, population is about 50 millions (1/30th of China’s, roughly). China being another South Korea would make a per capita GDP for China 1/30th of South Korea’s, which is about US$3,200.–.

    大韓民國/人均國內生產總值

    Even if we say that an average Chinese ought to be as intelligent and as competent as an average South Korean, which is reasonable, we would still expect the following:

    1) South Korea has 0 (zero) number of space stations. So, China should have 0 x 30 = 0 space station.

    2) South Korea brought back lunar soil to Earth 0 times. So, China should have brought back lunar soil to earth 0 x 30 = 0 times,

    3) South Korea sent probes and rovers to Mar 0 times. So, China should have sent probes and rovers to Mars 0 x 30 = 0 times.

    Etc, etc.

No matter who they voted for, they would get Thatcherism when it came to their nation’s economy. However, “they” are all Blairites when it comes to immigration. No matter what party Britons vote for, and on the verge of a massive of wave of job destruction due to AI, they get maximal immigration by the least desirable groups the planet has to offer.

    I remember when the first non-White kid came to school. He was a few years younger than me. He was a Sikh and his name was Singh. It must have been really weird for him to be alone in a school with 599 White boys.

    Jewish kids were treated like shit. I, born in Egypt, was shocked at the anti-Semitism of British kids. In a previous school, an English boy would go at night over to the bed of a Jewish kid and fart in his face – really close up. At the end of the school year, they tied this boy to the radiators running along the ceiling so that he missed the school’s reserved train to London.

    Now, the boot is firmly on the other foot.

    Not nearly enough talk about the shadow banksters at the very very top …..
    My wager would be on the ruling monarch as the chair of the BOE and the head of the Rothschild clan always subservient

    If you wagered that the British monarch is at the very top, you would’ve done your dough. You’re not even close.
    As for the Rothschilds being ‘subservient’, you have to be joking.
    With a net worth well into FOURTEEN FIGURES all on their own, the Rothschilds are accountable to no one.
    The King of England is a mere figurehead that takes his orders from the Zionist Usury Banking Cartel (aka ZOG), who operate out of the City of London.

    And if you’re wondering who those at the head of ZOG’s table are, no prizes for guessing that they’re ALL Malignant Talmudic Jews.
    Larry Romanoff covered it pretty well in an article he posted in UR a year or more ago.
    The following are those that represent the major players amongst the ‘Old Money’ Jewish dynastic families:

    Rothschild, Sassoon, Warburg, Moses Montefiori, Sebag-Montefiori, Kadoorie, Lehman, Israel Moses Seif, Kuhn Loeb, Goldman Sachs, Salomon, Schiff, Joseph Hambro, J. Henry Schroder, Samuel Montagu, Emile and Isaac Péreire, Lazard Brothers, Speyer brothers, Seligman brothers, Stern brothers, Barnato Brothers, Ernest Oppenheimer, Abraham Oppenheim, Carl Fuerstenberg, Jacob Goldschmidt, Oskar Wassermann, Hirsch, Raphael Jonathan Bischoffsheim, Hambro, Isaac Glückstadt, Levy Martin, Markus Rubin, Goldsmid, Rosenthal, A. Dunkelsbueler, Eugen Gutmann, Herbert Gutman, Wagg and Co, Speyer, Speyer-Elissen, Emile Erlanger, S. Japhet, Ernest Cassel, Carl Meyer, Achille Fould, Luigi Luzzatti, Wertheimer and Gompertz, Lippman.

    Added to that are the ‘New Money’ Jewish dynastic families around the world. (The following are just a small sampling of those from North America alone):

    Adelson (Las Vegas casino empire), Crown family (controlling shareholders in General Dynamics), Bronfmans, Pritzkers, Soros, Lauder family (Ronald Lauder is the heir the Estee Lauder Cosmetic empire and President of the World Jewish Congress) etc.

    The combined net worth of the ‘New Money’ Jewish miscreants may well be in the trillions, but it is dwarfed by the net worth of the Old Money families which amounts to multiples of U.S GDP.

    So there it is, now you know what cabal of depraved satanic ritual child sacrificing misfits controls the entirety of the western financial system, controls every western politician of note, controls the IMF, BIS, World Bank, the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) international payments system, controls western academia and the western MSM, controls all the major western health bureaucracies (hence its ability to foist the Covid Psyop and mandate those deadly vaccines on us).

  131. Keith Woods is a genius. Great article.

    Though I have one quibble: I think no-one has ever gotten to the bottom of the grooming gangs scandal. Why were the police protecting the gangs? Were they afraid of appearing racist? The UK prison system is full of Muslims; Tommy Robinson can attest to that, having done time with them.

    Who has the power to slap a D-notice on reporting about the gangs?

    I think the answer lies in the customers. They were to be found in Whitehall, in the House of Commons, and the House of Lords. Here we need to bring up Lord Janner, Labour peer, and one-time leader of Britain’s Board of Jewish Deputies- literally the most important Jew in the land. He was charged with being a serial rapist of underage, trafficked girls. He evaded prosecution by pleading advanced age and poor health.

This is silliness, invented here to demonize the Brits, and Europeans, developing technological exploration and exploitation interests. The Brits “stole it all”, ’cause they’re bad! Come on!

    Here’s what happened, completely roughly, generally, but at least slightly realistically. There was a lot of technical knowledge laying around, basically known in some ways, but mostly unexploited. The Europeans, in their explorations phase, returned with quite a bit. They began using it, then began building on the discoveries and using those. No good, no bad, morally, no “stealing” of proprietary knowledge, at all. Your desire to condemn Europeans, especially Brits, is too transparent, your twisting of history, false.

    (My wife was a international sportswoman and member of an East German national team, if that helps you executing me). (I still exercise myself).

    The net worth of the British monarch has been calculated to a reasonably accurate degree (I don’t have the exact number at my fingertips but it’s in the tens of billions £ Sterling).
    You can run that through a search engine and establish it yourself.

    Meanwhile, the financial wherewithal of the Rothschilds is quite a bit trickier, seeing as all sorts of chicanery, shell companies and smoke and mirrors is employed to hide their assets.
    BUT, even if we assume the figure at the extreme low end of estimates, the following comparison will suffice to give you some idea of how obscenely rich the Rottenchilds are:

    At various times, the following four individuals where at or near to being the richest men in the world: Elon Musk, Bill Gates , Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett.

    Well, the combined net worth of the four individuals above AND that of King Chuck III (ie: all five of them in aggregate), is a ROUNDING ERROR in comparison to the low end of estimates for the Rothschild family dynasty.

    Why are Chinese millionaires leaving China?

    1. Millionaires like to spread their eggs into different baskets…whatever the nationality.
    Here in Singapore, we have a bunch of American millionaires, Indonesian millionaires, Chinese millionaires, Indian millionaires…. all trying to move their money to a LOW TAX jurisdiction.
    2. China is socialist with an explicit policy of Common Prosperity…”Everybody gets rich”
    Selfish millionaires don’t like that. They would rather they get rich at the expense of everybody else. So they move their money out of China where it cannot “prosper the commoners”.

    Why do they send their school-age children abroad?

    China has a very competitive education system. Generally only the smartest kids can make it into the top Chinese universities.

    When rich parents have stupid kids, rather than the embarrassment of sending them to a second rate Chinese university, they send them abroad. This way they can at least boast that they are rich enough to do so.

    Of course, the exception to this are the super bright ones who go abroad to top rated Ivy League type schools.

    So yeah, in general when you see Chinese kids in normal US universities….these are NOT the cream of the Chinese crop.

    China is not alone in this. The same phenomenon happens in many Asian/Confucian countries.

    Here in Singapore, a standard advice a parent would give his child is “Try to get into a local university first. If you can’t make it here, then you can go overseas. This way nobody will think you can’t make it here. ……
    After you have done your basic degree in Singapore, then you can do your post graduate anywhere you please, and no one will THINK ANY LESS OF YOU”.

    In conversation one notices the texture, if you will, of someone’s mind. I have met some young Chinese people, and their minds are wound tight, like the springs of a clock. The pressure they suffer must be tremendous. Every once in a while, one comes across articles about Chinese men and women, some highly educated, going postal and settling their differences with meat cleavers. Decapitated professors, employers, lovers, neighbors.

    I have no strong reaction to what you have written. My only thought, for the moment, is that I would not like to be consumed by China’s particular brand of damnation, the urgent running towards — what exactly? How wonderful for China to catch up to the West so quickly, a West already out of West to conquer.

    At the edge of the world, it is best not to jostle but queue and be quiet, perhaps turn back. I doubt the Chinese tourists will have the presence of mind to arrest their progress, to leave unsatisfied, to disband disappointed, to return unfulfilled.

    [MORE]

    John Walker doesn’t say who are the guys on the very top of the power pyramid, he only mentions a few international [some secret] organizations and banks.
    I like to call things by their names, so it’s the international jewish bankers and jewry who are behind the world conspiracy for 500 years now… they’re the only people on earth having a ‘great plan’ to establish a global dictatorship, which they call a “Universal Republic”.

    = Rabbi Abraham Isaac Cohen Kook [1919-1935], Greater Israel champion, End Times cultist, Chief Ashkenaz Rabbi for British Mandate Palestine: “The truth concerning the land is revealed in Cabala. Jewish mysticism [cabala] militates for life in the Land of Israel. Rationalistic approaches to Judaism place no special value on the Land of Israel. In wars, national characters crystalize. Israel, as the universal reflection of mankind, benefits thereby. The heels of Messiah follow upon World Conflageration… At the hour of the downfall of western civilization, Israel is called upon to fulfill its divine mission by providing the spiritual basis for a New World Order.”

    = Bernard Baruch, letter to Karl Marx, 1888: “The jewish people taken collectively will be its own Messiah. His reign over the universe will be obtained by the unification of the human race and through the elimination of frontiers. A universal republic will come into being in which the sons of Israel will become the directing element, will be all of the same race and the same traditional culture without, however, forming another nationality, and will be without contradiction the leading element in all parts, particularly if it is successful in laving upon the masses of workers a permanent leadership by some jews. The governments of peoples all pass with the formation of the universal republic effortlessly into the hands of the israelites in favour of the victory of the proletariat. The personal property of the rulers will be able to be suppressed by the rulers of the jewish race who will everywhere govern the property of the peoples. The promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled that when the time of the Messiah has come, the jews will have the goods of all peoples of the world in their possession.”

    = Nahum Goldman, founder of World Jewish Congress, “The German War: The Spirit of Militarism”, 1915:
    – “The historical mission of our world revolution is to rearrange a new culture of humanity to replace the previous social system. This conversion and re-organization of global society requires two essential steps: firstly, the destruction of the old established order, secondly, design and imposition of the new order. The first stage requires elimination of all frontier borders, nationhood and culture, public policy ethical barriers and social definitions, only then can the destroyed old system elements be replaced by the imposed system elements of our new order. The first task of our world revolution is destruction. All social strata and social formations created by traditional society must be annihilated, individual men and women must be uprooted from their ancestral environment, torn out of their native milieus, no tradition of any type shall be permitted to remain as sacrosanct, traditional social norms must only be viewed as a disease to be eradicated, the ruling dictum of the new order is; nothing is good so everything must be criticized and abolished, everything that was, must be gone… After destruction of the old order, construction of the new order is a larger and more difficult task. We will have torn out the old limbs from their ancient roots in deep layers, social norms will be lying disorganized and anarchic so they must be blocked against new cultural forms and social categories naturally re-emerging. The general masses will have been first persuaded to join as equals in the first task of destroying their own traditional society and economic culture, but then the new order must be forcibly established through people again being divided and differentiated only in accordance with the new pyramidal hierarchical system of our imposed global monolithic new world order.”

    = Rabbi Harry Waton, “A Program for the Jews and Humanity”, 1939: “It is not an accident that judaism gave birth to marxism and it is not an accident that the jews readily took up marxism; all this was in perfect accord with the progress of judaism and the jews. The jews should realize that Jehovah no longer dwells in Heaven, but he dwells in us right here on earth; we must no longer look up to Jehovah as above us and outside us, but we must see him right within us [pag.148])… Since the jews are the highest and most cultured people on earth, the jews have the right to subordinate to themselves the rest of mankind and to be masters over the whole earth. Now, indeed, this is the historic destiny of the jews (pag,99)… Judaism is communism, internationalism, the universal brotherhood of man, the emancipation of the working class and the human society. It is with these spiritual weapons that the jews will conquer the world and the human race.”

    = Dr Oscar Levy, german jewish physician and author, “L’Anti-Semitism” pag 350: “There is scarcely an event in modern Europe that cannot be traced back to the jews… Jewish elements provide the driving force for both capitalism and communism, for the material as well the spiritual ruin of this world.”
    – “The jew is not satisfied with de-christianizing, he judaizes, he destroys catholic or protestant faith, he provokes indifference but he imposes his idea of the world, of morals and of life upon those whose faith he ruins; he works at his age-old task, the annihilation of the religion of Christ.”

    = Marcus Eli Ravage, on New York tribune + Century Magazine, feb 1928: “We are the founders and leading adherents of capitalism and chief perpetrators of the rebellion against capitalism… You accuse us of stirring up revolution in Moscow.

    What a vain attempt to whitewash history.

    “As though their was such a concept as intellectual property, copyright and patent law. This is silliness,” – 1jonny

    Your argument is like saying that since there is no Geneva Convention and other modern treaties, so all ancient armies were free to kill POWs and negotiators from opposing side. Of course, there was no copyright and patent law earlier, but the concept of stealing and “intellectual property” existed long before the rise and arrival of Europeans in world stage.

    If you are not aware of the examples of European stealing from the East, read up a bit about how the Italians (since they were the first European who had large contacts with the East) came to China to steal the silk-making technologies. Read up how the French came later to steal the porcelain technologies, and then the British came to steal the tea planting and processing technologies. All these were technologies that Chinese developed for thousands of years and highly profitable and valuable products. For example, from the book “For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World’s Favorite Drink and Changed History” by Sarah Rose:

    “the British East India Company … sending Scottish botanist Robert Fortune to steal the crop from deep within China and bring it back to British plantations in India… The task required a plant hunter, a gardener, a thief, a spy,… By September 1848, Fortune was travelling from Shanghai via Hangzhou to the green-tea regions of Zhejiang and Anhui. … Fortune had his hair shaved off, had a faux queue attached to the back of his head and donned the apparel of a local nobleman or wealthy merchant. ‘I am Chinese from a distant province beyond the Great Wall,’ he would assure local folk in faltering Chinese.” – Sarah Rose

    Note that Fortune knew very well he was stealing, that was why he tried to disguise himself as Chinese. And it was against Qing’s law to export tea planting and processing. Europeans not only stole from others, they stole from each others too:

    “Britain Steals Italian Spinning Technology
    Germany Steals British Spinning Technology
    USA steals British Spinning Technology”

    https://www.allaboutlean.com/industrial-espionage-and-revolution/

    “… no “stealing” of proprietary knowledge, at all.” – 1jonny

    I can continue to spend the next 5 hours giving examples of how the west stole technologies, sciences, mathematics, arts, artifacts, etc. But the above examples are already sufficient to refute your stupid claim that there was no concept of stealing “at all” (!!!) in earlier history.

    “No good, no bad, morally…” – 1jonny

    I have heard a thousand times (here in Unz and elsewhere) that Europeans’ behaviors were not morally wrong, slavery was not morally wrong, the wars, conquests and genocides were not morally wrong. And there was no right or wrong about colonization, about opium wars, and now, nothing wrong about stealing too.

    The fact is ancient peoples had concepts of morally good and bad too, sometimes even stronger than modern people in many ways. That was why before the opium war, Qing official wrote a letter to the Queen of Britain attempting to MORALLY persuade the British to stop the export of opium to China. We know what happened (do you?). And I can continue for another few hours too on this topic.

    “The Europeans, in their explorations phase…” – 1jonny

    Most of the Europeans so-called “exploring” the world were not harmless explorations, out of curiosity or other innocuous reasons. Most of the times, the motivations were to look for places to loot, to colonize, and to get rich.

    The English ceased to exist as a self-governing people in 1707; the crimes you imagine we committed in India were, where there is any truth to the stories at all, perpetrated by the ‘British’, most of whom seem to have been Scotch, as was the case in China.

    My only thought, for the moment, is that I would not like to be consumed by China’s particular brand of damnation, the urgent running towards

    Have you been to China? If not, I recommend that you go. I have been there many times, the last trip was a couple of months back….I will say that it would be the best gift you can ever give yourself.

    Not so much to see where China is, but to appreciate how much of our own minds have been manipulated by Western MSM.

    Seeing China would then only be a tool, to compare reality from the constant propaganda we are fed.

    I have met some young Chinese people, and their minds are wound tight, like the springs of a clock.

    That is an interesting observation. I must pay attention to it.

    But my first reaction is that it could be explained by “Hunger”. Let me explain. The children of a rich man have had all the comforts of life from birth. They have no “hunger” for such comforts. But a young man from poor origins does. His mind is focused to achieve his goals.

    So in that way, the Chinese are emerging from 200 years of collective disadvantageous circumstances, therefore they have a certain focus on satisfying that “hunger”.

    My hunch, is that in 50 years, when a generation or two have become accustomed to the comforts, they will be a little more relaxed.

    Every once in a while, one comes across articles about Chinese men and women, some highly educated, going postal and settling their differences with meat cleavers. Decapitated professors, employers, lovers, neighbors.

    Considering that China has 4X the population of the US, or 2X the combined population of the West, the numbers of such occurrences themselves are not too worrying.

    Jealous lovers, or crazed lunatics may use guns in the US, but they would use knives in China. …… In Singapore, killers have been known to cut up their victims and made them into curry!!! LOL.

    Come on now troofy, if you want to be known as truth you will most certainly need to get your act together.

    It’s one thing to be very well researched and simultaneously arrogant. I have no qualms with that.
    If you know what you’re talking about, I care not how boastful you are – indeed I welcome the opportunity to learn from you.

    But your arrogance is based on ignorance.

    With every syllable you utter, you further compound the stupidity of your previous commentary.
    So, be a good fellow, and click on to this article posted in UR from 2022:

    https://www.unz.com/lromanoff/the-richest-man-in-the-world/?showcomments#comments

    That article is a long read but, then again, your knowledge base in relation to FOLLOWING THE MONEY and determining what entity is the real money power on the planet, is next to NIL.
    So you have much catching up to do.

    SUMMARY: After reading that you’ll be fully up to speed on one irrefutable fact:

    ie: That the second placed cabal/secret society/non-Jewish dynastic family/monarch (or collective of European monarchs in aggregate), does not have even 1% of the financial wherewithal of the Zionist Usury Banking Cartel (aka ZOG).

    It should be OBVIOUS that King Chuck III is a tool of ZOG.
    We know that because of the following sequence of events:

    1) When he was Charles Prince of the Whales/Orcas (many decades ago), young Chuck had an independent streak and said things that were sensible, that were in the interests of the common man.
    But ZOG didn’t view that very favourably, so they used their media assets in Britain to embarrass him, with exposures like this (aka Tampongate):

    https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a34736481/tampongate-scandal-the-crown/

    For those living under a rock that aren’t familiar with the incident, here is an excerpt from that article above:

    … dialogue of Prince (now King) Charles telling his then-mistress, Camilla Parker-Bowles (now Queen Consort), that he wished he could be reincarnated as a tampon so he could live inside her

    2) No doubt ZOG had other dirt about King Chuck (like the relationship he had with his best friend, the serial paedophile Jimmy Saville).
    Yes UR readers, they were BEST friends – not just casual acquaintances.

    BOTTOM LINE: ZOG did not unload with both barrels on the then Prince Chuck, they merely gave him a sampling of what they could do to him if he didn’t fall into line and read his ZOG dictated script word perfect (like Donald J Chump does).

    And the script says that Chuck III has to constantly scare monger about Anthropogenic Global Warming, encourage the masses to take the Covid clot shots etc.
    And Chuck III has been delivering on that in spades.

    At the end of the day, if King Chuck III was anywhere near the head of the table (as far involvement in the money power that controls the entirety of the western financial system), then NO ONE would be dictating terms to him. ie: he’d be calling the shots.
    The fact that ZOG treats him like a hired hand is proof the King Chuck III is well and truly subordinate to the Malignant Jewish miscreants that run the western world.

    Simply put, people like King Chuck III, Bill Gates, George Soros and their multi-billionaire ilk, whilst certainly wealthy (when compared to the average Joe who still drives his beaten up 1980’s F-150 pick up and lives in suburbia), is a NON ENTITY relative to the power that ZOG possesses.

    Make no mistake, the REAL POWER BROKERS in the shadowy halls of that square mile of The City of London, do not front up for interviews, do not* appear in the public arena.

    (*Seeing as most among the dumbed down masses know that the Rothschilds are involved in the financial chicanery in some capacity, ZOG allowed Baron Jacob Rothschild, when he was alive, to appear in the occasional interview and speak about the creation of the Apartheid Israeli state, speak about his forebears role in the Balfour Declaration etc.
    In those interviews old Yacob appeared benign, like a harmless old fellow).

    But that was their sole token gesture of allowing someone prominent within ‘The Club’ to appear publicly. The rest of them are all lurking in the shadows, out of sight for the most part.

    Even David Rockefeller, when he was alive, was acting in the capacity of the FRONT MAN for ZOG, like Klaus Schwab (and King Chuck III) does today.
    That’s right, David Rockefeller (like all the other Rottenfellers), was well down the pecking order, nothing more than upper middle management.

    At the end of the day, even if King Chuck III had ten fold of what he possesses today in terms of net worth, he would still not be eligible to have a seat at ZOG’s table.
    That’s because he’s NOT ONE OF THEM – he’s not a Talmudic Jew.

    Of course, after Chuck and his son William die, young George VII will be King in about 50 years time (give or take).
    Boy George may well be eligible for a seat at the table – seeing as his mother, Kate Middleton, is Jewish.

    Got it now NagasakiDeathSpiral?

  157. @Truth Vigilante

    Hilarious how it is claimed by ‘your idea of a proof expert’ that King Chuck is forced by script, when he may just believe in global warming and act accordingly.

    You come across as an exitcable teenager Troof Fairy, who is clearly far too young to remember how back in the 1970’s it was quite common knowledge that the Queen of England was by far the richest woman in the world and how ‘they’ went into overdrive trying to hush it up and how it came to be that this previous talk of royal wealth was never ever talked about again and ‘just the fact that there was the need for silence’ is far more evidence to me than any of your teenage style theories.

    I stated upthread that my wager was on Royals vs Rothschild in U.K and you have tried enforcing your non proven belief on me and so you are the arrogant one infact but with the Vigilante bit in your name that comes as no suprise to me.

    I didn’t watch your video, because I knew it was Socialist misdirection when it said:

    ‘The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim …. to create a world system of financial control [ie: a One World Government] …

    You obviously know NOTHING about Capitalism, which (among other things) is about:

    competitive markets, price systems, private property, property rights recognition, economic freedom, entrepreneurship, voluntary exchange

    And I cannot emphasise enough the last one in the list above. ie: VOLUNTARY EXCHANGE.
    In other words, if you don’t want to buy that prone-to-combust lemon (otherwise known as an Electric Vehicle/EV), you shouldn’t have to.

    If you genuinely care about the environment and want to save the planet, you should be allowed to emit as much of the ‘Gas of Life (CO2) as you please – seeing as CO2 is greening the planet and MASSIVELY increasing crop yields per hectare of arable land (while simultaneously having no downside whatsoever – seeing as so-called Anthropogenic Global Warming is an obvious hoax).

    In other words, in REAL Capitalism, your life is not micromanaged by busy-body ZOG affiliated politicians and bureaucrats.

    You see, when GENUINE Capitalism exists:

    1) Government is MINIMAL, and to the extent it exists, it is highly decentralised and local (so that you and your neighbours in the community can keep a watchful eye and ensure that taxpayers money is spent wisely.

    2) Whatever government that does exist, consists of politicians/community representatives with LIMITED and well defined powers.
    Those in government are thus limited to the amount of damage they can do, money they can squander, or legislation they can introduce that bestows monopolies to favoured ZOG oligarchs.

    3) There are NO BARRIERS TO COMPETITION.
    ie: new entrants can start businesses at any time with NO REGULATORY IMPEDIMENTS that inundate them with red tape and barriers that prevent them from competing with the established players.

    4) Income and Corporate taxes are negligible (and ideally non-existent, as they were in America’s golden age, in the 130 or so years from the founding of the republic up until the founding of the ZOG owned Federal Reserve in 1913).
    To the extent that government collects any tax at all, they can levy a Consumption tax/VAT or just levy a small excise on imports etc, of the order of around 5% or even less.
    That would be MORE THAN ENOUGH to cover the functions of ‘essential’ government.

    5) To the extent that some Captains of Industry can continue delivering the best products and services at a given price point and thus continue satisfying consumer needs (like Henry Ford did in the early 20th century), they will accumulate great fortunes.

    But said fortunes are typically squandered in the second or third generation, as the progeny of the great industrialists is rarely as good an entrepreneur/businessman as the founding patriarch.
    Proof of that is Ford Motor Company (and GM’s) market share today.
    They are a SHADOW of their former selves, as new entrants (Toyota, Honda etc), are more efficient, more innovative, make a better quality product for a lower price.

    6) There can NEVER BE A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT under Free Market Capitalism.
    Yes UR readers, you read right. Let me use this analogy to assist you in understanding:

    Just as we don’t want a solitary military hegemon to rule the planet (like the Great Satan – aka the murderous Anglo Zionist empire), we would much prefer a bipolar world in place of that, so that one of the super powers can keep the other one in check.
    But even better than that is a situation of MULTI-POLARITY, whereby a dozen (or even two or three dozen major military powers), have that power divided between them.

    Because, after all, if there were only two or three hegemons, they’d be susceptible to COLLUSION and may form a cartel. Having more in the mix increases the likelihood that one of them will not abide by the arrangement (as has occurred with OPEC in the past – and thus the oil price on many occasions went into freefall and we the consumer benefitted from that).

    Similarly, under Capitalism, there is not just one mega rich dynastic family (like the Rothschilds), colluding with a few dozen fellow Talmudic degenerates to monopolise everything.

    Under Free Market Capitalism there will be countless millions of these Captains of Industry at any given time, and there will be CONSTANT additions and subtractions from that list as successful entrepreneurs of yesteryear fall by the wayside, while more innovative, more efficient, less greedy players (that are consistently profitable on wafer thin margins), are added to the list.

    That’s the beauty of Capitalism. You’re only on the list as long as you’re laser focused on delivering the best product or service.
    As soon as you lose focus (by scheming of One World Government or other nefarious activity), your business fails, your empire collapses, and thus you do not have the financial wherewithal to dream up these schemes that bring death and despair to the world like ZOG does.

    THAT, UR readers, is what GENUINE CAPITALISM is all about.

    In true Capitalism there is constant churn, as the market leaders of a generation ago are soon discarded in the dustbin of history, as new entrants build a better mousetrap, and this become the next generation of successful Captains of Industry/Tech Goliaths etc.

    SUMMARY: By virtue of the fact that the tax take going to Gubmint is negligible under Capitalism, said Gubmint is restricted as to the amount of taxpayers money it can squander on grandiose boondoggles, on foreign misadventures and belligerent wars of aggression.

    Absent an all powerful Big Bloated Gubmint, a tiny gubmint with greatly restricted powers is UNABLE to legislate the conditions that allow the favoured ZOG oligarchs to maintain their monopolies.
    Filthy rich family dynasties like the Rothschilds have not only kept their previous wealth over the last two centuries, but have greatly expanded on it, have done so for ONE REASON ONLY.

    And that reason is because they have CAPTURED SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS and used puppet politicians to start wars (thus demolish upstart noble countries like Germany in both world wars)/enact rules/barriers/import tariffs/outright prohibitions/a regulatory maze etc, that prevents new entrants from getting a foothold, that prevents new competitors from taking away their market share.

    In a nutshell, there will always be corrupt politicians and bureaucrats that will be susceptible to ZOG bribes. NO SYSTEM, NO REGULATORY framework will ever change that.

    We do not have Capitalism of any description in the U.S right now, at least not practsied in the big end of town. The U.S is a Socialist shit-hole, and what we’re witnessing is CRONY CORPORATISM, whereby favoured corporations/cronies, get sweetheart deals (eg: public assets privatised at cents on the dollar of their true worth, or Public Private Partnerships/PPP’s, where the oligarchs pocket the profits and any losses are socialised and the taxpayer is on the hook for that.

    THAT IS NOT CAPITALISM.
    There are NO BAIL OUTS in Capitalism.
    Taxpayers should NEVER be on the hook for reckless business practices/speculative trading etc, that leads to losses (as was the case in the 2008 GFC when Big Gubmint bailed out the likes of Goldman Sachs-of-shit and G.M).
    Both deserved to fail* – and under Capitalism they would have.

    (*People assume that if G.M was allowed to fail that the whole U.S car industry would have imploded. That is DEAD WRONG).
    Most of the U.S major airlines have gone bankrupt on multiple occasions, but the airline industry went from strength to strength.
    What occurred is that the assets of the distressed company were purchased by another entity, someone who was capable of running the company more efficiently. Sometimes the name of the company was changed, sometimes not. It just operated under new management using the old name).

    And so it would’ve been in the case of G.M. during the 2008 GFC.
    Perhaps Ford would have purchased the assets of G.M in liquidation? Or perhaps an ex-auto chief executive, like a Lee Iacocca equivalent, would’ve raised billions in an IPO and started his own company using GM’s assets.
    He would’ve hired the right people, fired the unproductive parasites in the organisation.
    He would’ve worked on improving quality control, would’ve reinvested more in R & D (like Toyota do), to ensure that his company was a market leader in introducing cutting edge innovation.

    Those loss making factories would’ve been closed down and capital would then be freed up to invest in those parts of the enterprise that were profitable. ie: expand production on those profitable sections of the company (which may not have entailed a net loss of jobs – and indeed may have resulted in MORE jobs added down the track as the business prospered and expanded production).

    In other words, G.M would’ve survived, but in a reconfigured way, in a SUSTAINABLE way.

    The ONLY SOLUTION to the mess we’re in now is to minimise government, drastically reduce the funding it gets, and thus make it next to impossible for the established players to maintain their monopolies.
    Doing this will guarantee the demise of ZOG within a few* generations.

    (*Of course we could fast track the process by prosecuting ZOG for its role in orchestrating 9/11, the Covid Psyop, the murders of JFK/RFK/JFK Jr and much more.
    Naturally, when they’re found guilty, their ill gotten gains can be confiscated, and thus the instant demise of ZOG will eventuate).

    What’s not to like about that?

    Of course Mr Nagasaki ‘heard’ that the Queen was the richest woman in the world from the same people that told us Bill Gates was the world’s richest, and thereafter Elon Musk. (ie: the corrupt ZOG controlled western MSM).

    Well the British monarch is nowhere near as rich as the two I’ve quoted above.
    And the two above have a net worth of the order of around a couple of hundred billion USD.
    Now Mr Nagasaki, what is it that you don’t understand about this statement (below) that I posted in a previous comment?:

    The Jewish dynastic ‘Old Money’ families have a combined worth that is multiples of U.S GDP.
    Let me put that in USD terms. That’s a minimum of DOZENS OF TRILLIONS.
    (Do you understand what a trillion is ? It is ONE THOUSAND BILLION).

    SUMMARY: I thought you were pretty stupid before but somehow, you’ve managed to lower the bar and stoop to new depths of imbecility.
    The monarch of England together with ALL the high profile individuals that the ZOG media told us were ‘the Richest Men on the Planet’, all of them COMBINED are a rounding error in comparison to ZOG’s net worth.

    So Mr Nagasaki, by all means go on believing in your little fairy tale about King Chuck III and his ilk. By all means keep collecting those trinkets (like cups, saucers and teaspoons etc), that celebrate the monarchy (seeing as you’re evidently a monarchist that hopes King Chuck will find favour with you and the two of you will get betrothed* after he dumps Queen HorseFace Camilla.

    King Chuck can whisk you off to his castle and the two of you will live happily ever after – just like in that fantasy world that you occupy.

    (*King Chuck is known to have had more than his share of homosexual indulgences in the past – like that episode he had with one of his butlers.
    That aspect of his personality may have been a byproduct of his close relationship with Lord Louis Mountbatten, the known pederast).
    So there’s still hope for you Mr Nagasaki. I wish you well in that endeavour. (The two of you deserve each other – I mean that sincerely).

    Virtue overtaking vice is the imposition of just order. Vice overcoming virtue is obscenity.

    Britain bit off more than it could chew and afterwards capitulated more than it could bear. Britain chose bargaining with foreign nations over reconciliation with God. So it continues to self-help its way towards perdition. Should the British people vanish from the earth, it would be a terrible waste of human excellence.

    It was Bede who first articulated the idea of the English people. In 732, he wrote his ‘History of the English Church and People’, in which he treated the inhabitants of lowland Britain, whether Saxons, Jutes or Angles, as one English nation.

    He traces the name back to a tale from the 590s. The story goes that Pope Gregory the Great saw some fair-haired and fair-skinned slaves in a slave market in Italy, and was told that they were Angles. ‘Not Angles but angels,’ he replied.

    It was a lovely pun, and somehow created an idea, which one senses in Bede, that the English were a chosen race.

    Since then, the English have always been the English because Bede said so.

    “if you live in a Sino-centric universe, history has to be rewritten to reflect it.”

    I am sorry you just noticing it. Most of the so-called western “history” and narratives are full of lies and holes. But those falsehoods were common knowledge for most of the world already, not just the “Sino-centric universe.”

    The Japanese also believed they were superior to whites. The truth is that this is a sign of being at a more primitive stage in the development of civilization.

    There is nothing wrong with being proud of one’s civilization, and Chinese civilization undoubtedly has a great history. Unfortunately, the chauvinism of the Chinese is a sign of their weakness, not of strength.

    Oh please, don’t show your ignorance. Most Japanese always think they are inferior to whites. They try hard to be white, and never accept themselves to be yellow. Only Chinese proudly accept to be called yellow, due to cultural and historical reasons.

    “this is a sign of being at a more primitive stage in the development of civilization.”

    LOL. Again, don’t make me laugh. The simple fact is that you guys just couldn’t accept chinks talking back to you. I was just criticizing and listing down points what your ancestors did (plus many of you still doing) wrong. And how those actions differs from what Chinese did. But, but, but… those must be “chauvinism” and “weakness.”

    Asia Rivals’ Ugly Images Best Sellers in Japan

    By Norimitsu Onishi

    In “Hating the Korean Wave,” a young Japanese woman says, “It’s not an exaggeration to say that Japan built the South Korea of today!” Photo Courtesy Sharin Yamano/Shinyusha

    TOKYO, Nov. 19 — A young Japanese woman in the comic book “Hating the Korean Wave” exclaims, “It’s not an exaggeration to say that Japan built the South Korea of today!” In another passage the book states that “there is nothing at all in Korean culture to be proud of.”

    In another comic book, “Introduction to China,” which portrays the Chinese as a depraved people obsessed with cannibalism, a woman of Japanese origin says: “Take the China of today, its principles, thought, literature, art, science, institutions. There’s nothing attractive.”

    The two comic books, portraying Chinese and Koreans as base peoples and advocating confrontation with them, have become runaway best sellers in Japan in the last four months.

    In their graphic and unflattering drawings of Japan’s fellow Asians and in the unapologetic, often offensive contents of their speech bubbles, the books reveal some of the sentiments underlying Japan’s worsening relations with the rest of Asia.

    They also point to Japan’s longstanding unease with the rest of Asia and its own sense of identity, which is akin to Britain’s apartness from the Continent. Much of Japan’s history in the last century and a half has been guided by the goal of becoming more like the West and less like Asia. Today, China and South Korea’s rise to challenge Japan’s position as Asia’s economic, diplomatic and cultural leader is inspiring renewed xenophobia against them here.

    Kanji Nishio, a scholar of German literature, is honorary chairman of the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, the nationalist organization that has pushed to have references to the country’s wartime atrocities eliminated from junior high school textbooks.

    Mr. Nishio is blunt about how Japan should deal with its neighbors, saying nothing has changed since 1885, when one of modern Japan’s most influential intellectuals, Yukichi Fukuzawa, said Japan should emulate the advanced nations of the West and leave Asia by dissociating itself from its backward neighbors, especially China and Korea.

    “I wonder why they haven’t grown up at all,” Mr. Nishio said. “They don’t change. I wonder why China and Korea haven’t learned anything.”

    Mr. Nishio, who wrote a chapter in the comic book about South Korea, said Japan should try to cut itself off from China and South Korea, as Fukuzawa advocated. “Currently we cannot ignore South Korea and China,” Mr. Nishio said. “Economically, it’s difficult. But in our hearts, psychologically, we should remain composed and keep that attitude.”

    The reality that South Korea had emerged as a rival hit many Japanese with full force in 2002, when the countries were co-hosts of soccer’s World Cup and South Korea advanced further than Japan. At the same time, the so-called Korean Wave – television dramas, movies and music from South Korea – swept Japan and the rest of Asia, often displacing Japanese pop cultural exports.

    The wave, though popular among Japanese women, gave rise to a countermovement, especially on the Internet. Sharin Yamano, the young cartoonist behind “Hating the Korean Wave,” began his strip on his own Web site then.

    “The ‘Hate Korea’ feelings have spread explosively since the World Cup,” said Akihide Tange, an editor at Shinyusha, the publisher of the comic book. Still, the number of sales, 360,000 so far, surprised the book’s editors, suggesting that the Hate Korea movement was far larger than they had believed.

    “We weren’t expecting there’d be so many,” said Susumu Yamanaka, another editor at Shinyusha. “But when the lid was actually taken off, we found a tremendous number of people feeling this way.”

    So far the two books, each running about 300 pages and costing around $10, have drawn little criticism from public officials, intellectuals or the mainstream news media. For example, Japan’s most conservative national daily, Sankei Shimbun, said the Korea book described issues between the countries “extremely rationally, without losing its balance.”

    As nationalists and revisionists have come to dominate the public debate in Japan, figures advocating an honest view of history are being silenced, said Yutaka Yoshida, a historian at Hitotsubashi University here. Mr. Yoshida said the growing movement to deny history, like the Rape of Nanjing, was a sort of “religion” for an increasingly insecure nation.

    “Lacking confidence, they need a story of healing,” Mr. Yoshida said. “Even if we say that story is different from facts, it doesn’t mean anything to them.”

    The Korea book’s cartoonist, who is working on a sequel, has turned down interview requests. The book centers on a Japanese teenager, Kaname, who attains a “correct” understanding of Korea. It begins with a chapter on how South Korea’s soccer team supposedly cheated to advance in the 2002 Word Cup; later chapters show how Kaname realizes that South Korea owes its current success to Japanese colonialism.

    “It is Japan who made it possible for Koreans to join the ranks of major nations, not themselves,” Mr. Nishio said of colonial Korea.

    But the comic book, perhaps inadvertently, also betrays Japan’s conflicted identity, its longstanding feelings of superiority toward Asia and of inferiority toward the West. The Japanese characters in the book are drawn with big eyes, blond hair and Caucasian features; the Koreans are drawn with black hair, narrow eyes and very Asian features.

    That peculiar aesthetic, so entrenched in pop culture that most Japanese are unaware of it, has its roots in the Meiji Restoration of the late 19th century, when Japanese leaders decided that the best way to stop Western imperialists from reaching here was to emulate them.

    In 1885, Fukuzawa – who is revered to this day as the intellectual father of modern Japan and adorns the 10,000 yen bill (the rough equivalent of a $100 bill) – wrote “Leaving Asia,” the essay that many scholars believe provided the intellectual underpinning of Japan’s subsequent invasion and colonization of Asian nations.

    Fukuzawa bemoaned the fact that Japan’s neighbors were hopelessly backward.

    Writing that “those with bad companions cannot avoid bad reputations,” Fukuzawa said Japan should depart from Asia and “cast our lot with the civilized countries of the West.” He wrote of Japan’s Asian neighbors, “We should deal with them exactly as the Westerners do.”

    As those sentiments took root, the Japanese began acquiring Caucasian features in popular drawing. The biggest change occurred during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905, when drawings of the war showed Japanese standing taller than Russians, with straight noses and other features that made them look more European than their European enemies.

    “The Japanese had to look more handsome than the enemy,” said Mr. Nagayama.

    Many of the same influences are at work in the other new comic book, “An Introduction to China,” which depicts the Chinese as obsessed with cannibalism and prostitution, and has sold 180,000 copies.

    The book describes China as the “world’s prostitution superpower” and says, without offering evidence, that prostitution accounts for 10 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. It describes China as a source of disease and depicts Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi saying, “I hear that most of the epidemics that broke out in Japan on a large scale are from China.”

    The book waves away Japan’s worst wartime atrocities in China. It dismisses the Rape of Nanjing, in which historians say 100,000 to 300,000 Chinese were killed by Japanese soldiers in 1937-38, as a fabrication of the Chinese government devised to spread anti-Japanese sentiment.

    The book also says the Japanese Imperial Army’s Unit 731 – which researched biological warfare and conducted vivisections, amputations and other experiments on thousands of Chinese and other prisoners – was actually formed to defend Japanese soldiers against the Chinese.

    “The only attractive thing that China has to offer is Chinese food,” said Ko Bunyu, a Taiwan-born writer who provided the script for the comic book. Mr. Ko, 66, has written more than 50 books on China, some on cannibalism and others arguing that Japanese were the real victims of their wartime atrocities in China. The book’s main author and cartoonist, a Japanese named George Akiyama, declined to be interviewed.

    Like many in Taiwan who are virulently anti-China, Mr. Ko is fiercely pro-Japanese and has lived here for four decades. A longtime favorite of the Japanese right, Mr. Ko said anti-Japan demonstrations in China early this year had earned him a wider audience. Sales of his books surged this year, to one million.

    “I have to thank China, really,” Mr. Ko said. “But I’m disappointed that the sales of my books could have been more than one or two million if they had continued the demonstrations.”

    Unfortunately, the chauvinism of the Chinese is a sign of their weakness, not of strength.

    You make a good point.

    My own perspective requires a slight adjustment to your very meaning laden statement:

    When the Chinese become chauvinist, they become weak.

    I make this adjustment because the Chinese have a very long history, with many high points, and as many low points.

    Their golden ages coincided with when they were open and able to learn from foreign peoples.

    In contrast, the lowest point in their history was preceded by the height of their chauvinism in the late 1700s to early 1800s.

    China’s financial sector jobs seen losing their lustre as salaries tumble amid crackdown

    Deep and widespread pay cuts have hit China’s financial sector as Beijing seeks an honest and trustworthy, righteous pursuit of profits to support the economy

    Published: 11:00am, 10 Jul 2024

    Amid China’s ongoing economic struggles, unemployment remains a headache for Beijing. In this eight-part series, we examine the range of unemployment issues facing the world’s second-largest economy, from young people to “the curse of 35”, as well as gig workers and political implications.

    A well-to-do couple in Shenzhen who once banked on a boom in China’s financial sector for their handsome income has seen their family finances deteriorate to such an extent they had to remove their son from an exclusive international school.

    The father, once a high-flying account manager at a state-owned securities firm, made the difficult decision when his income was drastically cut, having previously earned up to 100,000 yuan (US$13,753) a month.

    The couple will transfer their son to a public school in September to save 300,000 yuan in annual tuition fees after the father’s basic monthly salary dropped to around 10,000 yuan per month.

    Deep and widespread pay cuts are among Beijing’s fresh mandates to rein in financial sector excesses and whip bankers into line amid the sector’s shifting role and new emphasis on equality and tech.

    And while public controversy toward fat pay cheques has been assuaged, concerns remain over morale and a brain drain at a critical time when Beijing needs the financial sector to prop up economic growth.

    “It’s a rectification,” said Rui Meng, a finance professor with the China Europe International Business School.

    “Few would dispute that financial workers are overpaid, which does not sit well with public perception when other sectors are struggling to keep people on the payroll.”

    China’s financial industry used to be full to the brim with well-paid bankers and brokers, with Beijing encouraging financial players since the 2010s to model the industry after Western peers – including generous salaries – in a push to incentivise performance and internationalise operations.

    One flagship case surrounded investment bank China International Capital Corporation (CICC), which boosted average annual pay from 700,000 yuan in 2018 to 1.15 million yuan (US$158,000) in 2020, according to annual reports, despite the national per capita income being only 35,128 yuan.

    But as staggering pay rises raised eyebrows, the Wall Street way eventually fell out of favour as Beijing observed how some Western giants collapsed under the watch of well-paid executives and how bankers, acting only in self-interest, triggered and exacerbated financial crises.

    Then came a rethink of the roles and responsibilities of financial workers and how to keep tabs on them.

    In 2022, the opening salvo of what would be a succession of pay cuts was fired by the Ministry of Finance, when it issued a document requesting financial state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to limit packages for senior management.

    In October, the twice-a-decade central financial work conference heralded Beijing’s remoulding of the vast industry, with pay cuts an eye-catching hallmark.

    Directives were given to financial institutions to bankroll national strategies, including technology, and forgo excessive profits while keeping risks at bay.

    Unfurling his “financial superpower” vision at a party conclave in January, President Xi Jinping laid down distinguishing attributes and disciplines for China’s financial industry that contrasted sharply with Wall Street’s profit-seeking ethos.

    Warning of elitism and extravagance, Xi said financial workers must stay honest and trustworthy, righteously pursue profits and not seek quick success or benefits.

    The developments also happened under Beijing’s common prosperity drive to narrow yawning income gaps among industries, with a succession of anti-corruption investigations since 2023 dislodging financial officials and executives.

    Watchdogs were quick to heed Beijing’s call, and in April, financial regulators announced new rules to cap commission rates at public investment funds, who are forbidden to pay more than 15 per cent of their total commissions to a single broker.

    Regulators are also on the cusp of capping annual salaries at state banks at 3 million yuan, which could be applied retroactively.

    And the case of the couple in Shenzhen, amid the whirlwind changes, is hardly unique.

    Many who climbed onto the finance gravy train in previous years now find their pay packages shrinking.

    The average annual salary at Citic Securities in 2023 fell by 3.4 per cent to 775,900 yuan (US$106,700) from a year earlier.

    Total pay for its directors and senior management at Citic Limited also dropped to 6.7 million yuan last year from 7 million in 2022.

    CICC’s average annual salary, meanwhile, nearly halved to 696,800 yuan in 2023 from the highs of the 2020s.

    The Hong Kong branches of some mainland Chinese banks have also been reviewing pay and making reductions in recent months.

    Some are also streamlining operations in the city and replacing local staff with colleagues from mainland China.

    Chen Zhiwu, a chair professor of finance at the University of Hong Kong, said while such pay corrections are warranted, a market-oriented way is better than top-down directives to decide compensation for financial professionals.

    “China needs to loosen regulations, increase competition to drive down the price of financial services [to benefit people and businesses],” said Chen, adding that the sector’s high pay was also due to the shortage of financial services amid government overregulation and controls.

    The pay cuts and salary cap, nonetheless, can alleviate the burden facing many financial institutions amid a dearth of initial public offerings, thinner interest margins and shrinking profitability, when China’s economic recovery is made uneven by stock and property sector slumps.

    “Morale can be low, with the impact on work performance already there,” said Fu Weigang, executive president of the Shanghai Institute of Finance and Law think tank, warning high staff turnover may affect the sector’s ability to help stabilise growth.

    Fu also said while watchdogs have every right to intervene as key stakeholders in financial SOEs, law and contracts must still be upheld.

    “Clawing back paid bonuses could contravene labour laws and employment contracts, and there could be lawsuits,” Fu added.

    Yao Yang, a Peking University professor, said that salary cuts are “not punitive” in nature, with some aimed at boosting other sectors deemed more important by Beijing amid manufacturing upgrades and tech self-sufficiency endeavours.

    “[They are] intended to take the lustre off the financial sector so more talent and resources can flow to manufacturing and the real economy,” Yao said at a forum earlier this year.

    “The starting salary in the financial sector has come down to the level of the tech sector.”

    Rui from the China Europe International Business School also said, with the allure of the finance sector dimming, China’s best and brightest may flow to the tech sector.

    Artificial intelligence surpassed finance for the first time in a second-quarter salary ranking by online recruitment platform Zhilian Zhaopin.

    But Chen at the University of Hong Kong warned that such pay cuts may only serve to drive away skilled financial professionals and depress supply of risk capital and other financial services.

    “[Over time], tech start-ups and the real economy will also suffer if there is fewer risk capital and financial products to support them,” he said.

    And Gordon Brown sold off a lot of England’s gold at low prices, just before currency depreciation.

    England didn’t/doesn’t have any gold. The idea that politicians control or the people own the Bank of England was and is absurd, even when the BoE was nationalised in 1946 that only consisted of an irrelevant ignored ‘advisory committee’, much like the previous ‘polite hints’, it gave to the owners of the then approximately 16 private banks it had always comprised -actual ownership didn’t change. Political control was a fiction. Not only is it not ‘yours’ (if British), it’s your mortal enemy. The Bank of England’s job is to steal and launder the resources and the labour of the land and the people of (occupied) England and occupied Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland. It’s a parasite abusing the national name.

    The economy was already wrecked by then, Brown was moving the proceeds of crime on to its frightful owners, sharing the spoils with the gang. Manufacturing contraction under Blair/Brown finished off what the Thatcher governments started for the big fish, with the few remaining small-medium fry productive independent businesses/employers surviving subjected to wrecking-ball tactics and taken down, land, plant, stock, trade-marks, customer-bases appropriated.

    The scam was you (a closed-shop of selected traders) en-masse could borrow pounds buy the under-valued gold, wait for the pound to depreciate as it must, then repay the (now plentiful and cheap) borrowed pounds and still have a profit, it was two dead-cert scams rolled together for the price of one, at zero risk.

    The same happened with pound/Deustchmark trading under the European exchange-rate-mechanism (ERM) scam pulled by Major/Lamont, with opposition-leader John Smith in on it. You could borrow over-valued pounds, trade them for DM, wait for the pound inevitably to fall, then repay the £-sterling loans with lots of DM left over. Currency speculators ganged-up pack-like on every European currency in turn, versus the stable DM, till the game-able ERM scam had run its course and national treasuries emptied. Countries so looted clamoured to join, for ‘protection’, the Euro, the DM in all but name.

    These were select-few enrichment projects, blatant and in your face, politician-enabled financial crimes. Politicians are content with financial remuneration, during and after their starring-role and with the superficial trappings of power, because that, they soon learn, is all that is on offer. Scapegoats, Aunt-Sallys, punch-bags, national-treasures. Villains, one and all.

    They don’t do these things out of stupidity but it does help if they’re economically illiterate/innumerate as well as blackmail targets. If they don’t co-operate, people start dying, if they still don’t co-operate they themselves die, politically or literally. They do what they’re bidden to do, or it gets nasty.

    Fella me lad this is a leading question about the state of Chinese society. Not about capital-flight-topia Anglo-America. About this last we all know, smart boi.

    In China, several hundred million peasants — most of whom would not have been reproductive stock in another age — have been enfranchised within a single generation. The Chinese sit on the cusp of postmodernity, flush with enthusiasm, confidence, and refrigerators from their market modernity speedrun. There will be cultural and political effects from 800M mouths lifted out of extreme poverty since 1970. In one sense, it actually means 800M are now on the money grid, networked to global capital, however indirectly. 800M mouths to eat. 800M mouths to speak. 800M pairs of eyes to see. 800M brains to wonder, what about Me? 800M souls to incorporate.

    The American Joe on gaining similar social enfranchisement 75-100 years ago, promptly fumbled the whole of the franchise. Promotion gave broad cultural write permissions to people mainly equipped for read only, resulting in irreparable damage to the codebase. The permission to ‘add users’ was also handed out rather too freely, in the moment when history seemed to stop and victory seemed eternal. Sometimes I lose track of who writes what where under what alias.

    A reformed China without its traditional controllers might be a holy terror, a haunted machine. We wait.

    China has several advantages. First, it is ruled by the CPC, by far the most competent governmental entity in the world. Second, nowhere in its ruling class does it have a group analogous to Jews in the west, hell bent on undermining their civilization. The CPC is almost all men and almost all Han Chinese. Third, monied interests do not have large influence on government policy. It is government that directs capital, not the reverse.

    The USA followed the path it did because it was a liberal shit hole founded by Anglo and Jewish pirates for the purpose of tax evasion. It can’t really be compared to real civilizations.

    This comment seems like a direct response, or at least relevant to the exchanges between us. I don’t know whether you forgot to reply to me, or intentionally do so (as a way to disengage?)

    I haven’t read the book you quoted. But just like 99.9% of what I have read about China written by Westerners, from a few pages of browsing, I am convinced that this is extremely superficial and stupid. A few brief response.

    “the Chinese people are convinced that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with China.”

    Consider the book publication date of 1926, this is a very ignorant statement. The real situation was the diagonal opposite. It was a period of chaos and lowest time in the 5000 years history of China. Most of the ordinary Chinese were confused and the elites were widely divided and unsure. Everyone was searching for the reasons of “what’s wrong with China”. Politically, they tried every conceivable forms of government, from monarchy, to constitutional monarchy, to parliamentarism, multi-partisanism to presidentialism. China as a whole tried to be a republic, a democratic republic, dictatorship, federalism, nationalism, fascism, communism, authoritarian, one-party military dictatorship and warlordism… you name it, they tried it. Intellectually, reformists called to learn from America, learn from Nazism, from British, from France, from Japan, from Soviet, etc. Does this sounds like someone who are convinced that “there is nothing fundamentally wrong?”

    Furthermore, they started revolutions after revolutions, and movements after movements. The Taiping and Nian Rebellions were anti-emperor, but not anti-monarchy, and the hundred Days’ Reform or Wuxu Reform of 1898 (百日维新, or 戊戌变法) was anti-monarchy but not anti-emperor. And then the Xinhai revolution was both anti-emperor and anti-monarchy. There was the Western Affairs Movement (洋务运动, 1861–1895), Gengzi New Policies (庚子新政) of 1901-1911, the New Culture Movement, which came after the May Fourth Movement, etc. Many people wanted to uproot the entire cultural and social fabric, so much so there was anti-Confucianism, anti-intellectualism, and even anti-Chinese language. The end results of the 100+ years was that Chinese people not only did many thorough and complete political reforms and revolutions, they went through a wholesale revisions of the cultural, social and philosophical views of their lives, the world and the universe.

    “the elect of the gods”

    This is again nonsense. It is a pure projection from a Westerner. Gods don’t play as important a role in Chinese as in other ancient or modern cultures, let alone “elects” Chinese as the chosen people. In fact, Confucius already advised over 2000 years ago 敬鬼神而远之 (respect the Gods but stay far from them)!

    “…the heirs of the only literature and art that are not beneath contempt ; the handsomest people on earth, … the only race whose philosophers have worked out an answer to every possible question…”

    Too much BS, too little times.

    Enough of the rubbish.

    What you say does not sound untrue to me, but that is because I know just as little about what’s actually going on in China as you.

    We peer out at China through our fringe-political, dog-whistle, near-conspiracy, disaffected hobby-commentariat lens. The China we reference here, she of Anglin’s vain imaginings, is no more than an icon, a Madonna, the glimpse of a girl through a douyin beauty-filter, an object, shorthand for real dissatisfaction.

    Let’s not be silly. China is massive, old, complex, foreign, unimaginable. China is not the e-girl answer to incel frustration. And since you’re not near the one you love, love the one you’re near (old maid ‘Murica). I mean unless Trump deports you.

    If the Chinese were that arrogant at the nadir of their history, we can only imagine what they are like now.

    I think you got the timeline a little back to front.

    The Chinese collapsed to the lowest point in their history because the were arrogant in the century or two BEFORE the said collapse. They closed themselves from the world, and rotted, eventually becoming so weak, they could not resist a few Europeans on a few gunboats.

    Now let us see if the trend has continued….

    There are many Westerners in China. A good many of them would scarcely be able to make a living in their own countries, but in China, they are fat and happy employed as “English Teachers”.

    Why? Because there is an insatiable appetite for learning English in China. To the Chinese, English is gateway, the means to engage with the world.

    English is mandatory subject in Chinese schools….starting at First Grade!!!!

    I make the bolded parts particularly to distinguish the intent of the Chinese people to learn English……it is NOT to become Anglo or even Western (tho some people might try to flatter themselves with this belief).

    …..but, IT IS to engage with the wider world.

    It is clear to me that China has learned from its painful lesson on arrogance/hubris.

    In a somewhat ironic way, US is at the very same juncture in history now as China was 200 years ago. Will it avoid the pitfalls of arrogance? …. it does not look likely so far.

    You’ve stated, parsimoniously, what is likely very close to the truth. To veer the topic slightly, was the apparent exclusion of Jews in England mere cover for the hidden power of the Jews? The emergence of the Jews from the shadows is often conventionally assigned to Oliver Cromwell. But I recently came across a paper (by a French scholar) who established that Henry VIII relied on Talmudic rabbis to formulate arguments to take to then pope in the matter of his divorce of Catherine of Aragon. Henry then required his sons to study Hebrew and mandated the circumcision of his male lineage (which apparently continues today).

    In the US, a mere 30 years ago, there was a strict dividing line between the WASP and Jewish investment banks (ie Morgan Stanley vs Salomon Bros). Obviously, this no longer exists. But at that time, the elite city clubs (Union League, New York Racquet etc) did not admit Jews (and even Catholics in cases) whereas today that has changed too (though the WASPS by and large avoid mixing, at least in my observation).

    What caused this to happen? These clubs must have encountered financial difficulties and required Jew money…and memberships. In the last year, the Princeton Club of New York closed its doors.

    This is not true. WASPs have been mixing with Jews for centuries. For the most part, any opposition to mixing came from the Jewish side. The Jews use tactical mixing by offering their Jewish daughters to influential gentiles (call this “the Esther tactic”), but they try to retain their pure Jewish core.

    ” they are fat and happy employed as “English Teachers”.”

    They would make more at home, but not in a job as a teacher. But the real reason they go there, for the most part, of course, is for the Oriental women, which is why they are so hated and despised now more than ever.

    I would say the Chinese born during the Cultural Revolution and remembered the past and were in America had a certain humility and old-fashioned aspect about them. Even so, one (an excellent fellow from Wuhan) told me hoped for a return to the Tang Dynasty, when foreigners studied in China, and not abroad. The younger ones, no. Polite and friendly but without the same aspect.

    The guy who wrote the book obviously knew exactly what he was talking about. Whites shouldn’t despise the Chinese, or mock them, or hate them, but they should recognize the truth. d dan should help make it clear to white people, the sort of thinking that is endemic over there.

    They would make more at home, but not in a job as a teacher.

    Perhaps that was true at one time, but it is not so clear cut now.

    The average salary of a high school English teacher in China is about USD $41,000
    Deduct 25% applicable income tax, that would leave $30,750
    If we adjust for PPP/cost of living, then it would be $59,040

    The average salary of a high school teacher in USA is $53,610
    Deduct 22% applicable income tax, that would leave $41,815

    So if one were an average high school teacher in the US, one would be faced with a real choice…have almost 50% more spending power in China? or stay somewhere familiar.

    If the said high school teacher were single and had a taste for Asian women, then as you have said,….he would make the switch in a heartbeat.

    told me hoped for a return to the Tang Dynasty,

    He is really expressing the hope of all Chinese people, not just his own. The Tang, along with the Han and arguably other dynasties….were regarded as the golden ages of their civilisation.

    Incidentally, that is why the Chinese call themselves Han or more accurately “people of Han”. They were not so much expressing ethnicity as they are expressing inclusion in a civilisation that they are so proud of. Of course over the centuries, and contact with the West, such definitions become muddied and used interchangeably with Han “ethnicity”.

    As a case in point, some Chinese people, particularly in the south, call themselves “people of Tang”, rather than Han…..but both terms have essentially the same meaning.

    The guy who wrote the book obviously knew exactly what he was talking about. Whites shouldn’t despise the Chinese, or mock them, or hate them, but they should recognize the truth.

    I can’t comment on the book because I have never read it.

    But what you have written is wise indeed.

    As for the the way your countrymen regard China, I regard it is somewhat natural…. a necessary phase that all empires go through. That being said, the shorter, and less intense the that phase, the better.

    The Brits had a relatively short and mild period of letting go of their empire. I can only hope that the US will learn from them.

    Whether China will indeed become another empire after the US? Now that is an interesting discussion.

    It is quite ironic that Buddha was Indian and so clearly as Buddhism is still numero uno in China today 2500 years on,at one point in history the Chinese weren’t so inward looking afterall,to their great credit,because ‘inward looking’ really means ‘dont want to look out because looking inward is superior’.

    yes, the problems we have can’t just be pinned on the upper levels; the whole thing is rotten from top to bottom, inside out.

    Scotland was an agricultural and industrial backwater before the Act of Union gave them even greater access to English capital than the accession of James I had done. Oatcakes, porridge and haggis, for example, are not Scotch in origin but are identified as such only because Scotch agriculture was so primitive that it could produce little more than oats and sheep until union with England meant they could afford the agricultural and industrial advances being made in England.

    James I was a dribbling fop who could not understand the workings of the English exchequer when he came to the throne and robbed his English subjects to reward his Scotch ‘favourites’. His idiot son, Charles I, was so incompetent that he reduced England to civil war, one result of which was the readmission of the Jews to the country by Oliver Cromwell.

    The Scotch have never been anything but a greedy, expensive and troublesome nuisance to England.
