Pension theft revelations: cancellation punishment of The Slog begins....

Since Friday's Slogpost about mendacious DWP Theft went live, [a] I have been blocked by Gab [b] Google are bouncing my regular Resistance emails back before I see them and [c] X has wiped all my tweets relating to the piece.
This is only to be expected: in 2025, genuine free speech and investigation results in punishment by cancellation and censorship.
The aim of the neolibs is to reposition a Civil Right as a benefit.

Anti-Orwell smuggies have long maintained that George Orwell was an alarmist since proved wrong. This is obvious balderdash: Orwell predicted the start of jackboot propaganda as 1984 - then still 36 years in the future. Margaret Thatcher was elected on the basis of Saatchi & Saatchi lies in 1979. In June 1983, she was elected for a second term.

One of her first moves was to remove the ring fence on State pensions based on National Insurance contributions - effectively, a charter for every future Whitehall burglar to welch on the State's promise. Hitler's Volkswagen con was of a similar ilk: the money gullible Germans gave unser geliebte Dolfi towards a people's car in the 1930s went into preparations for a Nazi War in the 1940s.

As Mark Twain remarked, "History doesn't repeat....but it does rhyme". George Orwell's 1948 prediction was a mere nine months out. I was born in 1948. Now the DWP regime created by Sir Peter Schofield KCB (not just gongs, but also fat bonuses) has stolen my pension. QED.

Margaret Thatcher was the most destructive demolisher of social cohesion since Prince John in the eleventh century. But before you dismiss me as an inreconstructed LeftLib idiot, let me point out that her vandalising philosophy has now being surpassed by Labour PM Keir Starmer....for Starmer now wants to extend DWP powers further still via his plan to hand the DWP unlimited powers to raid citizen bank accounts in a bogus search for fraud...

Encouragingly, there's been a Labour Party revolt against this insanity. Sadly, the power of elected backbench MPs to kick up a fuss will be ignored by Schofield's Scammers, because the DWP is not answerable to anyone.

The greatest migration of the 21st century is that of power away from elected assemblies towards unbridled corporacratic greed.

I can only keep repeating the same mantra to my detractors: I am not Left or Right: I am for Truth, Justice, the Rule of Law, honesty and Personal Liberty.

Do you have any belief in the power of the current Conservative Party opposition to change anything? I don't: here's why.

The current Tory leader is a Yoruban Nigerian called Kemi Badenoch. She is married to a banker.

None of this affiliation instills a teaspoon of confidence in me. Yoruban revenge against Biafran nationalism was at best ruthless, and the influx of hard drugs into The Gambia where I live is largely Nigeria-driven. Nigerian swindling was the primary cause of decisions taken by hospitality suppliers in Gambia to demand up-front payment in full for all rental agrreements. Kemi herself has consistently tried to present herself as working class, but this is untrue: her Dad (she was née Adegoke) Femi Adegoke, was a doctor who later founded a publishing company in Nigeria, and her Mum Feyi was a professor of physiology at the University of Lagos.

Those wishing to play the racism card against me at this point should bear in mind that I gave up a First World life to settle in The Gambia four years ago, and represent a White minority of just 0.7 per cent. During that time, I have made charitable donations and small business seed capital investments of some 7.1 million Gambian Dylasis [£73,000].

As for Hamish Badenoch, he's a Deutsche Bank bigwig of some fourteen years standing, and currently the global head of “future of work and real estate transformation”. Deutsche Bank has faced multiple investigations and settlements for a variety of criminal and regulatory violations, including money laundering, fraud, and market manipulation. These issues have led to significant fines and a tarnished reputation for the bank.

But do those who maintain that State pension costs must be cut have a valid case?

One such neolib advocate is former Tory MP Miriam Cates. Here are two recent observations from Ms Cates on Musk's TwitterX paid-for Free Speech platform:

With respect for this only briefly elected Conservative, the above observations are a classic case of quoting big numbers and alleged causality in a bid to hide the comparative maths. First up, her prediction of £190bn State pension cost by 2050 represents the extrapolation of a rising trend, when all the data shows DWP ambitions in a diametrically opposite direction. Secondly, we have been 'living beyond our means' as a result of incontinent Whitehall expenditure on major policy failures and political diplomatic stupidities like handing massive interest-free and no strings support to anti-democratic dictator and American Pentagon cypher Vlodomor Zelenskyy of The Ukraine under NWO fanatic Keir Starmer. A 100-year partnership agreement with Ukraine to provide military support - while pledging to provide security guarantees if an end to Russia’s war comes - would amount (given monies already despatched since Starmer came to power) to a grand total of three quarters of a trillion Pounds.

Miriam won the Penistone and Stocksbridge constituency in the 2019 general election with a majority of 7,210. Her stay in the HoC was however a brief one, because - so popular was her term at Penistone & Stockbridge - in the 2024 General election she turned a 7,210 majority into a 9,569 deficit.

Finger on the pulse, or what?

Once one brings in international comparative data about State investment in its pensioners, the entire argument for DWP theft falls apart at the seams.

Let joy be uncontained, my fellow Brits...Poles, Fins, Germans and Slovenians spend over twice as much as Scrooge Central UK does on its State pensioners. Almost exactly the same figure, in fact, as such expenditure in the horribly wicked Russian Federation we must all learn to hate....but still trailing behind public pension expenditure in Communist China, where OAP spend is 5.4% of the country's GDP.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government has plans to increase pension payments and other social spending in 2024 to 14.5% of GDP. Now I wonder....who on Earth might be paying for such largesse? UK, EU and US taxpayers?

Talking of which, even the tightfisted GOP dominated USA spends 30 per cent more than we Limey Commies. Greece, Italy and Portugal each spend nearly three times what we do. That once-upon-a-time homeland I used to love is now 30th out of 33 First World nations when it comes to care for those who put the Great into Great Britain.

Also note that since burglar-in-chief Schofield took over, elderly support has dropped by a further 8.5%.

As Sinatra once sang, "I'm so proud I'm busting my vest". This is the national culture that in 1947 - after bankrupting itself in the fight against the Nazis - created a National Health Service to banish fear of medical bills....a World First.

What a fall from grace this is.

*Major Hat-Tip goes to Slog follower DPhil for alerting me to many of these stats*

Bottom line: the lunatics running the asylum are massively understimating the consquences of their power mania

A central problem remains among both the sleepy, denialist bourgeoisie and the online cognoscenti.  Neither seem to understand that there is no such thing as [a] a gradual market panic or [b] a slow realisation that the elites are treating all of us as lobsters to be gently cooked prior to death.

Once money becomes digital BS while banks and sovereigns are failing on a weekly basis, people will be brought sharply face to face with robbery-rape: it will be like the Bikini island test, the Krakatoa eruption and the Miami Bay meteor hit all on the same day. In Homo sapiens terms, it will make Big Bang seem like a fart by comparison.

Catherine Austin Fitts is on the money when she talks about Trump and Musk trying to build a Control Grid to keep blue-collar America in line and throw US weight around in a rapidly changing world. I've lost all faith in TrumpMusk as an Administration...they don't know WTF they're at, and they've sold out to the fisco-financial Hegemonist military-hitech complex.

Last night, breaking news suggested that Trump is threatening the EU with blanket 50 per cent tariffs on everything. It's like telling Hitler in 1938 to reverse all his Sudetenland ambitions or face a total ban on Hollywood free-speech movie exports. It's an empty threat, and everyone from Brussels via Moscow and Beijing to Mecca knows it.

Work at self sufficiency of energy, water and food, fasten your seatbelts, excavate your shelters and beef up your security....

...but not necessarily in that order.
