David Cameron's mission to privatise all that we once owned continues with Bernard Gray's hushed plan to privatise the MoD.

There will not be many of us unable to see that the handing over our national defence to corparations with foreign interests is national suicide. 

That is unless you are Bernard Gray, the Chief of Defence Materiel at the Defence Equipment and Support branch of the Ministry.

Whilst acting as an advisor to the Ministry of Defence in 2009, Gray compiled a review of  defence acquisition, in which he strongly recommended the privatisation of the Defence Equipment and Support Branch, by creating what is termed a Go-Co partnership.

British government child trafficking for profit at hands of Clegg’s Lib Dems?

Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather is Minister for Children and Families, and is responsible for some 14 areas listed on the government’s education website. These include childcare, children’s centers, health issues, school food disabled children and more. One of her key responsibilities is “Children’s services commissioning and market development”.

European finance ministers will meet today to finalise the terms for Greek debt restructuring.

Resolving the issue of the Greek debt swap is considered key to keeping the Euro going for another few weeks. Under the terms of the deal, private investors will swap their current, unrepayable, Greek government bonds for some equally unrepayable bonds of lesser value. Private investors are expected to take a so-called "haircut" of between sixty and seventy percent.

The markets seem to have mostly shrugged off France's loss of its triple-A rating.

The downgrading of France and other European nations on Friday was not unexpected, so markets had already come to terms with it; viewing it as the least of their worries.

This week sees a number of European government bond auctions, and most critically, Greece's continuing attempts to make a deal with its private creditors.

On my way into the office this morning I was treated to yet another slice of the habitual, and cleverly packaged “but, we are only trying to help” medicine from our good friends at the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation.

The Republican Party Presidential campaign could well be described as the best street theater since Punch and Judy.

As ever, it is a mixed bag of outright racists, homophobes, warmongers, religious demagogues and, last but not least, private equity carpetbaggers. Only libertarian leaning Dr Ron Paul, who is enjoying solid and surging support amongst young and independent voters, could be described as a remotely honest and genuine candidate for what is otherwise a pretty good advertisement for national suicide.

Alcohol consumed in classrooms, bullying, racism, health and safety breaches, pornographic videos, sexual and physical assaults, abuse of trust, and neglect are just some of the accusations against Oxford & Cherwell Valley College which have surfaced over the last eighteen months.

Nestled in David Cameron’s Conservative heartland, this leading college, states that it is the largest provider of further education training in Oxfordshire. According to the web page of college Principal and Chief Executive Sally Dicketts  “We pride ourselves on the fact that we have something for everyone, we are all members of a vibrant and diverse community,  and we are passionate about helping each individual to achieve their potential.”

Positive Money bills itself as “a simple solution to the debt crisis”. With a cursory glance, it might appear to be making some of the right noises. On closer inspection, however, there’s just nothing there.

Positive Money states that it wants three things:

1. Make banks ask our permission before they gamble with our money.

December 2, 2011

If Positive Money is not the answer, what can we do? The solution is actually not that hard.

We must begin with full Glass Steagall style banking separation now, today. Not this ring fencing nonsense being pushed by Mervyn King and George Osborne.

An analogy suggested to me, which I think is perfect, is to compare the financial system to a ship: naval architects invented watertight compartments in order to stop the ship sinking when holed. Full separation of retail and investment banking is equivalent to the watertight compartments and is the only way to guarantee the ship won’t sink. The ring fence idea is not watertight - there’s a gap at the top, just like the unsinkable Titanic.

The Community Accreditation Scheme gives pseudo police powers to a whole host of civilians.

The Community Accreditation Scheme gives pseudo police powers to a whole host of civilians. Back in 2007, the Police Federation of England and Wales made clear their objection to the proposed plan when their Chairman Jan Berry stated:

The Police Federation were opposed to the provision of police style powers to Community Accreditation Schemes from the outset as we believe this is effectively another way of bringing in private policing

We have long known the effect of the direct attack on the education sector by successive governments. Keep them stupid and they won't see what we're doing, and all that.

The next step in the anti-learning campaign came yesterday, as Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs announced the decision to target teachers giving private after school tuition for special intimidation and red tape.

Within four days of learning that a paedophile's park ban had been lifted because of his Human Right to 'keep fit' we learned that a Nigerian rapist had escaped deportation after European judges ruled that he had a right to 'private life' in Britain.

A constitution is a vital part of any country's system of government. It provides the rules by which the people agree to be governed. It is a contract, the terms and conditions under which those elected must govern, be they a monarch, president or parliament.

The people as a collective are the ultimate supremacy. Once accomplished, a constitution cannot be changed without the express will of the people  -for to do so would be a violation of contract and would negate the authority of those in breech.

Britain Has A Constitution

Britain has a constitution of considerable standing, the foundations of which were established almost 800 years ago with the signing of Magna Carta in 1215, and reasserted 322 years go with the Declaration of Right and Bill of Rights in 1688.

Past Is Not Prologue

Readers of my articles in the UK Column over recent years may have puzzled at the long silence. Without boring you with the details, let it be said that a tactical retreat is not to be confused with capitulation, but part of a wider strategy.

Notwithstanding tactics, all that was pertinent with respect to the economic and political situation as it stood at the time my last article went to print, had already been said. It therefore only remained to wait for the next major phase shift in the situation before summoning the inspiration to offer a genuinely new perspective.

Such a phase shift has now occurred.

In 2008, then South African president Thabo Mbeki’s mother, wrote an open letter to the South African people, severely criticising the nation's political leadership. Published in the Johannesburg Sunday Times, she concluded: "South Africa wake up. Zemk’iinkomo Magwala Ndini! (The cattle are being stolen, you bloody cowards!)"

Since 2007, hundreds of billions of pounds of banking assets have been wiped off the books. For a year or two now, we've been told that these same banks are "profitable" again, but the truth is that its only through hyperinflationary injections of cash that this illusion has been made possible.

But the real plan is this - Cameron cynically understands that the British public is not yet ready, and in many places, very wary of European Police Officers coming on to British Streets.

Dear All

I would like to alert the UK public to dangerous moves by Cameron to establish 'private armies' and foreign police on our streets. The story begins with Cameron pressing for the American 'super-cop' Bill Bratton to become a senior police officer. Cameron is thrusting his US mate forward, knowing that Bratton has been collaborating with British police over many years, and thus knows the system.

Is there something rather sinister hidden beneath the fluffy Big Society label that the British public find unpalatable?

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

The Coalition government's plans for the NHS are revealed in the Health and Social Care Bill now before Parliament.

We, the electorate however have not had a chance to say yea or nay to these drastic changes as neither the Tories or LibDems saw fit to put them in their manifestoes.

Even after the election, their Coalition Programme, published on May 20th 2010, foresaw a gradual evolution of existing structures for the NHS, rather than drastic upheaval, but by the time of The White Paper in July 2010, there had been a significant change of plan.

Britain is bankrupt. There's no getting around that fact. We have a national debt of over £900 billion and rising. We have a massive black hole in the public pension pot of £1.2 trillion. We have personal debt of £1.5 trillion.

That is a total shortfall, today, of £3.6 trillion.

£6 Trillion - £188,000 Each

If we add corporate debt onto this figure, then the nation, its people and its employers owe somewhere in the region of £6 trillion to bankers in one form or another, complete with its burden of interest. And we are told we can solve this debt problem by creating more debt.

... Communitarianism is a political system that gives authority over individuals to unelected community "stakeholder" councils. A stakeholder is defined as a "group, person, organization or system" which can be just about anybody or anything. You'll find the term used in just about every government and grant funded project in existence today ... Forming partnerships with stakeholders is an effective way to bypass voters and taxpayers.

We have to ask and ask again, what is this unhealthy and worrying fixation which the power elite have with sex and children?

Is paedophilia in high places spreading so rapidly that it should become government/national policy, globally?

Young children are not interested in sex so where is this obsession to make them sexually aware at such a young age coming from?

It is a result of the planned implementation of the following;

Americans have a lot more in common with the British than many may realize. On both sides of the Atlantic there is a very quiet and totally identical revolution underway. Commoners from Alaska to London face the same enemy with the same name. What binds them in a way that surpasses all others is the simple fact that neither side knows what exactly their enemy is called.

As is usual with a Budget, the media concentrates on the nonsense. Stamp duty, drink, cigarettes and petrol are the things the BBC and the rest report on, ignoring the elephant in the room.
