interesting post from Kim Dotcom.

The problem is that this has been going for decades and there’s now no way to fix it. The reality is that the US has been bankrupt for some time and what’s coming is a nightmare: Mass poverty and a new system of control. Let me explain why this isn’t just doom and gloom talk.
Total US debt is at $90 trillion. US unfunded liabilities are at $169 trillion. Combined that’s $778,000 per US citizen or $2,067,000 per US tax payer 

Remember, the only way the US Government can operate now is by printing more money. Which means hyperinflation is inevitable.

The total value of ALL companies listed on the US stock market is $53 trillion. The real value is much lower because the US has been printing trillions to provide interest free loans to investment banks to pump up the stock market. It’s a scam.

Most of the $53 trillion is air.

The value of all US assets combined, every piece of land, real estate, all savings, all companies, everything that all citizens, businesses, entities and the state own is worth $193 trillion.

That number is also full of air just like the US stock market.

US total debt: $90 trillion

US unfunded liabilities: $169 trillion

Total: $259 trillion

Minus all US assets: $193 trillion

Balance: – $66 trillion

That’s $66 trillion of debt and liabilities after every asset in the US has been sold off.

Do you understand?

So even if the US could sell all assets at the current value, which is impossible, it would still be broke.

The US is beyond bankrupt.
This patient is already dead.
This patient is now a zombie.


You probably wonder why are things still going? Why didn’t everything collapse yet.

It’s all perception, denial and dependency.

The perception is that the US has the largest economy and the strongest military in the world. But in reality the US is broke and can’t afford its army.

The denial is that all nations depend on a strong USD or global markets collapse.

The reason why the US zombie keeps going is because the end of the US is the end of western prosperity and an admission that the current system failed as a model for the world. It doesn’t change the reality. The collapse is inevitable and coming.

What are our leaders planning?

You may have heard about the ‘great reset’ or the ‘new world order’. Is it a controlled demolition of the global markets, economies and the world as we know it?

A shift into a new dystopian future where the elites are the masters of the slaves without the cosmetics of democracy?

Without a controlled demolition the world will collapse for all, including the elites. The world has changed so much and nothing seems to make sense anymore, the blatant corruption is out in the open, the obvious propaganda media, the erosion of our rights.

What’s the end game?

if you're not jabbed, your destinations are limited.

I agree with the Chinese thing: may you live in interesting times. What's more interesting than being in the UK over the next 6 months. To see a whole country, people, go Cold Turkey, will be quite the spectacle.
 
BBC 'WatO' NOT leading on what's already being dubbed Black Monday - £, , markets generally in freefall - shock!

Incorrigible scum.

As they said, the revolution will not be televised - reported by dear Auntie Beeb.

Poor old Denis Healey(Chancellor) became a household name and figure of fun in the 1970s, due to the BBC and co.'s non-stop coverage of the UK's dire economic situation, and PM Callaghan lampooned with 'Crisis? What Crisis?' - which was all to pave the way for the de facto banker City Coup, in 1979, with the frontman puppet 'Thatcher', whereas now Squeaky(Sunak) is the Scarlet Pimpernel, and anything is reported as major 'news' ahead of the actual,. major, only, news - the total collapse of the UK economy, and the 40+ years crime spree by the UK 'elite' - Plod was too busy investigating reports of pronoun misuse to comment.

All we need is Comical Ali/Baghdad Bob to come back and go on the BBC News and tell the plebs everything's alright, and under control.
 
@BMW4ever

Is this purely a spectators opinion or are you current/ex JLR employee?

I'm not going to comment on most of what you've written, but there is one underlying factor you haven't mentioned. Our car industry has been crap, and rotten on the inside for 6 or 7 decades. It's been trending towards oblivion since the 60's, national pride prevents a lot of people from admitting it, even if the media are or aren't failing to report on it. My father spent his working life at plants and dealers as varied as Dacia in Romania all the way to RR&BMC at Crewe via Longbridge, Cowley, Luton and even the Samara Oblast. The stories of integration of the Japanese and/or German work ethic, with the typical attitude of the British blue-collar are pretty awful. 1970's Truck manufacturing in eastern bloc countries is about the only thing that was consistently worse.

A lot of that can be blamed on the UK's attitude towards unions, if you see how German/Scandinavian industry works with the unions and how the UK industry pit management and unions against each other the writing was on the wall, sadly not just for the automotive industry but every manufacturing industry the UK had was effected by this. It was mutually assured destruction.
 
Victorian Britain was solvent coz they stole $45 trillion from India alone, not to mention the loot from other colonies. Now they have to pay their own bills. The time has come for Britain to face up to the fact that they produce nothing of value and rarely ever have. One tour of the British Museum would remind Tories or any other pseudo-patriots how insignificant their contribution has been to humanity's enrichment. Interestingly, The Economist has, this very week covered much the same topic - Britain's productivity lag and slowing economy. If they didn't have the millions of Indian doctors and nurses, their NHS would be in an even greater labor shortfall than the 'socialist' healthcare already is. Good luck coz Britain cannot now export Indian opium for Chinese silver and repatriate to the Treasury.

If you've ever worked with Indians you know they wouldn't know what to do with that alleged wealth, it would be controlled by a handful of families just like India's wealth is today. If you believe the divide between the wealthy and poor is wide in the UK it's even wider in India. When 2 people live in a US $1b 57 story skyscraper with 600 staff across the road from the largest slum in Mumbai something is very wrong.
 
Talking of India... , they're like the kids in the playground who wait to see who wins the fight between the hard-knock boys, and then run behind the winner:

- the new G8, trumps the old, deadbeat G7/8 - the genuine new world order.

As I think I said here before, Tata was proud as punch to bag JLR from Ford back in 2008, but now, 14 years later, they see it as the mad old aunty in the attic, an embarrassment, not to be talked about, ...pretend it's not here. A relatively short time, but boy, how things have changed, see-sawed. India now regards us, generally, as the mad old bat in the attic.

I already had my three COVID jabs. The first two were from Pfizer and the third one was from AstraZeneca.
 
Incredible that it's not kicking off - just one area - 'Health', our beloved, and world-envied NHS:

'Seriously ill patients who visit Accident and Emergency units in hospitals must routinely wait ten hours for treatment. It is reported that 90% of patients who visit A&E go there because they cannot contact their GP. That’s not surprising. The average GP now works a three day week or less. Most made a fortune giving covid jabs and are trying to keep their tax bills down. Even those who work a full week manage less hours than a librarian – and never see emergencies. Many GPs stay at home and still refuse to see patients face to face. The evidence proves this is dangerous but it is, say doctors, the future. GPs claim they are overworked but the evidence proves the contrary.'

- utter, utter scum. Quacks are as low as politicians and journalists.

The mystery is why British people still pay their taxes, and prop up this rotten to the core system.

They're offered a sub-Third World 'service', for first world taxation. Incredible what a bit of brainwashing can do - 'Clap for Heroes', etc.

Same with the Royals, our 'world-leading' Police, our 'world-beating' Culture, etc. All a pack of lies, 180 on the truth, but largely swallowed by a gullible, dumbed down, hardly any morals left themselves, populace - a pact of Hell.

If this was medieval England, heads would be on pikes, and if it was eastern Europe 35 years ago, the 'elite' would be repainting walls from machine gun splatter.

The 'elite' must not believe their luck. The bigger the lie they tell, the more the British pleb believes, AND closes ranks against anyone left sane, intelligent, who points out the emperor is plainly wearing no clothes.

At root, it's cowardice. The average pleb seeks the security of the herd, whether the herd is wrong or not, and headed towards the cliff.

As long as they're in the majority, the main stream, they couldn't give a flying one.

Anyone who was against the deliberate dismantling of British industry in the early 1980s was clearly a wrong 'un.

This mile-wide streak of cowardice, cravenness, a desperation to fit in, toe the line, echo, parrot all accepted 'truths' and wisdoms, given to them by the Govt-Media axis, in the overwhelming majority of the British people, has only gathered pace since.

And that's why, when the country is clearly completely broken, financially and morally, nothing working properly, a tragedy and a farce at the same time, the average person pretends it's not happening, cannot be happening, as the Media-Govt(regime) tell him the exact opposite morning, noon, and night, and it's comforting to believe in children's fairy tales, to not grow up, deal with reality.

Do you have a legitimate verifiable source for this information or have you just made it up like I suspect you have.

course I did - like the 'Elite' made up Covid/Pandemic, the 'Vaccines', CAGW, Evil-Russia, JLR-Stunning Success... .

Don't count me in with scum like that - politicians, journalists, medics, scientists etc.


- as I said, just because the (vast) majority think, believe something, doesn't means it's right, true. Eric Blair, 'George Orwell', knew this is where we'd end up - a smidge later than the 1948 he wrote it, or the set in future/'1984', because he was an insider, who knew this was The Plan of They - propaganda 24/7, dumbed down, soulless, brainless plebs, who just adore doing what Big Brother - the 'Elite' - tell them to do:

'in times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act' - Dr Coleman, one or two others, like Bobby Kennedy Jr for example, and me, if may say so.
 
Shows how bust UK Exchequer really is:


- this was sneaked out. One minute the Tories and Carrie Antoinette's charge, 'Boris' are telling the world how Green they are, the next they pull the already reduced to almost nothing incentive to buy an EV.

Doesn't add up - except that Sunak, or rather Treasury officials, are in total panic mode - slashing whatever spending they can(get away with), and repelling all borders who demand more than the ridiculous 5p cut in fuel duty(tax) be multiplied, with the price of a litre having rocketed by around 50p in the last 5 months,

This will save at most around £200m/yr. Chickenfeed, ~0.1%, when UK GDP is north of £2tn - supposedly, allegedly... .

The truth is that £200m is vital, as it's real cash, just like it's vital the £bns coming from fuel duty and VAT - real cash.

Sunak knows f all. But, the old hands at the Treasury and the BoE know that the £ is on the cusp of being a third world country currency. They're pulling out all the stops to try to prevent it sliding over the edge, into the abyss. This - the PiCG axing thing - is really an emergency measure, but not even properly announced to the plebs, and of course none of HM Press delving into what's really going on, why the suddenness, no trailing, illogicality, when we're supposed to be Green, 'Fighting CO2' etc, and other simple-minded bollox, aimed at the plebs.

No, as usual, the reptiles in the media just dutifully copy and paste the .Gov press release, and get back to staring into their phone, after this 'work'. Which explains why our '£2tn GDP' is a lie, that a five year old would see through.

Just as I thought you get your information from looney right wing media, the guys that pump out unsubstantiated mumbo jumbo for tinfoil hat wearers. So not actually a legitimate source of information at all.

- a retired, old doctor, GP I think - a real(old-school) doctor.

You know, 'intelligence' is really discernment, or what old folk - our ancestors - used to call wisdom. It's the ability, hard won, to make out the wheat from the chaff. Your knee-jerk labelling of this source says more about your ability to discern, than the 'looney'(sic) old gentleman.

In other words, you've fallen into the Media's trap. Fine, stay there, there's lot's of company - safety in a crowd.

But, if you want to grow in life, you have to dare to think for yourself, a very lonely place often, and stick to your instincts, which, although most will deny it, are god-given, innate in us. The 'looney' old guy has no axe to grind; does not need the shekels - his NHS, occupational pension alone will be around/at least £100k/yr - 2/3rds of final salary, index-linked; just wants to voice the truth, that is drowned out by the Media, Govt, 'doctors' - 99%+ utter scum, who toed the line on Covid, injecting poison, so state assassins, and paid around £25 per shot - 'scientists', etc.

I have a little personal insight, too. My sister is a 25 years consultant(M.D. quack), brother-in-law likewise, and a niece who is recently 'qualified' - fully certified to off people for the state - Liverpool Care Pathway, 'Covid' cause of death, Midazolam, etc, etc - the full nine yards.
 
oops - 'This will save at most around £200m/yr. Chickenfeed, ~0.1%, when UK GDP is north of £2tn - supposedly, allegedly... . '

- 0.01%.

So why the sneaky way it was put out, and why cut it, if it's just ~one-ten thousandth of our mighty national income(GDP)?

Anyone seen Squeaky? Maybe he's polishing the seat of his trousers on Treasury bog seats.
 
The general collapse, underway, will expose the huge fraud that has gone on under 'EV' - from Tesla - Musk getting some of the loot out before it crashes using the Twitter 'purchase' thing - obvious from a mile away to a child within 5 secs. of it being announced - to stuff like this, which sprouted like mushrooms all over the place in the last couple of years:

 
The Pols-Media axis would rather we talked, fixated about stunningly relevant stuff to the average pleb like Rwanda - where? - and the 'Protocol' - what? - of Northern Ireland - where? - and another stab at independence for Jockland - where?, than inconsequential, irrelevant, probably got up by 'right-wing, conspiracy nutjobs' stuff like the cost of living in this sceptred isle:


Cuddly 'Boris' will no doubt send in Plod/the Army, to restore order, crack a few plebs' skulls, like he will with the rail strikers, and like his hero Thatch did with the miners. And the plebs will applaud and adore him, Clap for Our Heroes - cos the Media told them to.
 
Damn you have some serious issues man.

By all means, write it off. I don't think anyone is reading anymore though, and I am out of popcorn.
 
Just as I thought you get your information from looney right wing media, the guys that pump out unsubstantiated mumbo jumbo for tinfoil hat wearers. So not actually a legitimate source of information at all.

If you've interacted with the NHS with any kind of regularity you'll probably have seen enough to know that whilst the horror stories aren't true across the board they aren't just fiction either. The article does appear to be written to rile the emotions without offering any evidence (and no doubt promote the author's book sales), but it is a problem we need to face up to in the UK. I can testify first hand how bad my GP has been in the past, and also how long the waits in A&E have been in the past. I can testify that my family considered action against the NHS for negligence surrounding my Mum's death in 2020. I can also say that I've no problem with clapping for nurses. At the points in my life when I've been facing severe personal pain or anguish, all the ones I've met have been spot on, it's not their fault the system is failing. As someone that profits from the NHS, it's more likely to be mine!

Do you have a legitimate verifiable source for this information or have you just made it up like I suspect you have.

It's simply an off-shoot of how funding is allocated to surgeries. If you increase their workload by up to 100,000,000+ jabs, there's going to be a cost that needs to be covered and allocated accordingly. My GP ****ed off to play golf three days a week...

...but that was 15 years ago. Bugger all to do with Covid jabs.

Has no axe to grind? Does not need the shekels?

He literally became a red-top columinst and agony aunt after being a GP, is not only a Covid denier, but also an AIDS denier, suggests that kids with Autism should be "stuck up to their necks in a vat full of warm sewage for 10 hours" to lean some manners, and also had an injunction from the High Court after threatening to publish the home address of someone who's views he disagreed with, that had already been sent one letter bomb by a group that had already murdered 3 people with another letter bomb. He also parrots unsourced claims about how impressed with him everyone is, the first of which I checked out literally was praising one of the fiction books he's written, not his scientific or medical opinions!

If you discern that as a quality source I'm surprised you're not an avid Johnsonite.

More seriously though, try and keep the rants properly on the subject of the thread. It was after all created so you could disclose your own perspective on JLR, without dragging a more focused thread off topic. Once you start going on about the 'Plandemic', your posts are likely to be moved elsewhere... and I'm pretty sure I know how that one ends already.
