And we need a completely new Establishment to run and deliver everything too
Your politics, religion, ideas, background, age, education or anything else that has, can or will be used to divide us, does not matter when it comes to recognising that for every one of us, there are parts of life that simply don’t work in the UK, anymore.
Whether we are being affected and impacted directly, or the problems we recognise are just something happening to other people or different communities that we can somehow see, we all know that things aren’t working as they should. And the horrible truth is that for some of us, nothing is working at all.
We could go down the rabbit hole of trying to identify, apportion blame and then demand that politicians and government change whatever we identify as needing to be changed. Or, that they step aside so that they can be replaced by whoever we believe will do whatever it is that they either cannot or are choosing not to do.
Indeed, many are doing just that, and already expect that all it will take is just a change in government. So that we have ‘the right people’ in charge.
It’s a nice idea and it’s appealing to many of us. Because this pathway also leaves the real work, commitment and doing whatever it will take to enact change, to someone else.
Unfortunately, we’ve been here before. And very recently too.
In fact, many of us genuinely believed that the downward chaos of all the Conservative governments between 2010 and 2014, which was aided and abetted by the Liberal Democrats between 2010 and 2015, would unquestionably be stopped by the election of Keir Starmer and The Labour Party in July 2024. Because Labour was supposedly offering something new and would know what to do, or in any case could never possibly be as bad as what we already had, could they…
It took just a few months to prove the point that the power of our vote can have consequences that are completely out of our control.
Whilst some seem prepared to make the very same mistakes all over again, the reality is that as things stand today, we can no longer trust anything that politicians promise or offer us as part of an election manifesto. Because they are without fail behaving the same as all the politicians we have ever known and will inevitably go on and do whatever they want to do once they hold the power, we trusted them with.
And once they are elected, they will do whatever they want to whilst telling us that it’s in our best interests, knowing there is nothing that we can do about it democratically until the time of the next election comes around, when we will hopefully by then have forgotten whatever they have done which might then be years before.
Whether we voted or not, millions of us made the mistake of electing yet another group of politicians who are out of touch with real life; are motivated by all the wrong things and above all, have no real control over the apparatus of government and the legislative devices that should be at their disposal. Either because they are too frightened; are being very badly advised or misled; are out of their depth and really have no idea what they are doing and what they could do; or a mixture of them all.
This page is not here to make excuses for this government, the Sunak government or indeed any one of many governments before them both that have harboured and given favour to the wrong politicians and what decades of poor, absent and self-serving non-leadership has given us, whilst we are somehow always the ones who are getting everything wrong.
This page is here to make clear that politicians and the political class that we have today, right across the tiers of government in the UK, are just a part of a much bigger problem. And they are the only part of problem that we cannot otherwise see.
If we need a divorce, we go to a lawyer. If we need our car fixed, we go to a mechanic. If we want and extension built, we go to a builder. If we want a load of bread, we go to a baker. If we want a beer we go to a brewer. But for decades, we have gone to the Polling Stations on election day and chosen who we vote for from a list of candidates that only Political Parties have offered up.
Specialist professionals and tradespeople like these that provide goods and services that we genuinely need, learn a very specific craft. And they get better at what they do, because they spend all their working time doing just that.
Yet when it comes to everything to do with government, governance and how every kind of public service and are systems of rules and regulations are managed and designed across the UK, we currently leave strategy, planning and everything important in the hands of a few people who are always there to represent what they Political Party wants first. So-called politicians who cannot possibly know or understand every part of life they are making decisions upon, and certainly don’t have the leadership skills, experience or awareness to listen, consider and then act appropriately on our behalf, only after referencing all the people that they really should be, whilst being sure that they are being impartial and working in the best interests of everyone at all times, too.
Anyone with a platform, the words and a great speaking voice can sound like a leader. But leadership is about the actions that genuine leaders take and in the case of politics, the actions they take when none of us are either looking or able to see what they are doing; where they are doing it and who they are doing it (for or) with.
In other words, to lead any Country properly, it takes integrity, purpose and a commitment to public service before Party or anything else.
The evidence from what we can see today, tells us that no politician or would be leader in the public eye has this purpose, spirit or a level of integrity that we can put our trust in that in power, they will always do the right thing – even when it might require that they step up and do some very difficult and perhaps unpopular things.
We can all see that genuine leadership and integrity don’t exist within UK politics today.
Unfortunately, both have been absent for so long that the whole system has been so corrupted and become self-serving that it must be completely replaced.
The system is so established with the way it works and operates that it continues appearing to function. Whilst the reality is that in whichever direction we turn and begin to look, every part of it is either dysfunctional or going completely wrong.
The illusion of effectiveness is only held in place by the reality that like everyone else, our politicians have fallen into the trap of believing that every problem can be solved with money. And that if politicians have enough public money available to spend, every problem for them can be addressed. No matter the problems their inability to lead and acts of avoidance using that money will and have meant that we and people in every UK community subsequently face as a direct result of their ineptitude and what they have(n’t) done.
This isn’t a problem that can be fixed with politics or politicians who are just about the politics.
Because politics has become all about the politics and who’s in charge of the political process. Rather than being anything to do with results, outcomes or whatever gets done.
Politics is now the biggest distraction of them all when it comes to the change and scale of change that we need. Because the way that elections and the electoral cycle work mean that we really are just going around in circles, whilst everything gets worse, and we keep waiting for the merry go round to come full circle so that the whole problematic rotation can begin all over again.
Whilst so-called socialists and capitalists alike will continue to argue that their destination would have been different, until whoever is in power takes the rap for destroying everything at the time – and then the other tries desperately to convince everyone that there’s still time for them, just to be sure, the very perverse and somewhat disturbing truth that is now coming into our view of reality is that the direction of both left and right political thinking takes humanity to exactly the same place.
What all these ‘philosophies’ – the ideas of academics, thinkers, economists, industrialists, tech moguls, agitators, the aggrieved, life’s bitter victims, entitled shirkers, greedy and selfish bastards – have in common, is the centralisation of power into the hands of one or just a select few – who for whatever purpose intended – control everything, so that they can enjoy their own lives and positions more than anyone they see as different to themselves and therefore as being a threat.
Verging on enlightened thinking, as many will surely argue their heroes and inspirations to have written these works will have been, enlightenment doesn’t revolve around creating environments that centre purely on a beneficial vacancy at the top. Which the design of these solutions surely was the intention, resulting from whatever experiences the authors had themselves experienced up until the time of writing.
None of these accepted visionaries were wrong. Or at least they were not wrong in the sense that we all are the sum of our experiences and our position looking upon or perception of life in any given moment will be correct, for us personally, in terms of what those experiences have taught us and what we have therefore concluded that they should be, right up to that same moment in time.
Let’s face it. The world is a very shitty place to be. Whether you have nothing and cannot escape poverty because of the boot that rides rough-shod over you; or at the other extreme you are as financially wealthy as it is possible to be and all you quietly worry about is protecting yourself, your wealth and how you are going to accumulate even more.
The pain that hides behind our eyes hasn’t changed over decades and centuries in human time.
Yes, the surroundings, clothes, transport, technology and everything else may seem different. But the nature of the experiences we are all having on our different pathways are in relative terms very much the same.
Wherever we may sit across this spectrum, 200 or more years ago at the dawning of the Industrial Revolution or right now as we are being prepared for the AI takeover, we all have an idea of what the perfect world for us would be.
It is regrettable that only some of us find ourselves able to share those ideas and thoughts and have them taken seriously by enough others for them to be seen to matter – which itself doesn’t mean they are genuinely enlightened or of benefit to greater humankind.
It’s simply the case that even when complete idiots or utterly selfish bastards are heard, their thoughts and views are swallowed up like nectar by people who themselves have a back catalogue of difficult experiences that identify with what they read or hear.
They pick those ideas – those philosophies – up and run with them, no matter how twisted or damaging in the longer term they might be. Leaving ideas behind in the dirt that the chaos they unleash leaves behind to fester for years and possibly centuries, that would otherwise deliver for the good of everyone when implemented.
We must be clear that all the ideas and philosophies for the world, whether they fall under the socialist or capitalist umbrellas or not, are without fail just ideas and suggestions.
Whether well intended or not, these philosophies were all packaged with the pretense that they were the ingredients, nuts and bolts or technicalities of a model of the perfect working world, for all people.
As history has demonstrated only too well, the actions of those underneath these umbrellas lead to both the imprisonment and oppression of the masses under the yoke of world elites.
We are fooled into believing there is a difference in outcomes because one system gets straight to work by enforcing its ideologies on people and the systems of the world as it tightens its grip and pushes those who are left into the cage. Meanwhile, the other drugs everyone with every conceivable high that they believe they like, creating mass addiction to ways of living that mean there is little hope of sobriety for anyone who has bought in and become addicted, until the very heavy jail cell door will have already slammed shut behind us all.
Centralisation is the flaw in all of these philosophies. Because it is impossible to centralise every part of life, for every single person across every country and across the entire world, without life, values, happiness, health, wellbeing and all the mechanics of essential function and civic society collapsing in their wake.
The clever tools and devices used by capitalists, globalists and neoliberals are ultimately no different to the level-playing-fields, street revolutions and guns employed by communists and socialists to enforce and police their point.
The painful outcomes that these forms of idealistic thinking inflict upon the masses always have agendas behind them, and none of those paying the real cost of these ideological-turned-material crimes ever agreed to the world being run this way.
The elites and those behind all of this have of course been aided by technological advances and the many different ways that the world has opened up and the distances between us all have been bridged.
Yet the point has always and pretty much systematically been missed that humanity and our morality based values system do not need and never needed to change to keep up with the material changes in the world, which have always been about the things that appear to be important beyond and outside of people.
Indeed, the changes that have been made to our frameworks for behaviour have always been made to suit those in power, with influence and who are directly benefitting from those changes. Those who perceive that the only way they can benefit more is for the old ways or ways that benefit others with fairness and balance must be left behind. Because they will otherwise get in the way.
So, was there ever a point in history where humanity genuinely got the whole thing right?
There is good reason to believe not. Or that if that moment of genuine balance has ever existed so far, it was momentary and could only really have been so, because the opportunity didn’t actually then exist to end the self-interest, anger, frustration, greed and every other dark part of the human condition that drives generation after generation to ingeniously, creatively and ignorantly to exactly the same things over and over again.
We may not see it, nor appreciate nor even find value in the suggestion. But a centuries-long pathway of humanity being led and controlled by interests that are not in any way genuinely shared, has led us all to a place where those who have benefited from that control and the generations following behind them, can no longer maintain that control. Because the whole pathway is about to have gone too far, before that door can be slammed shut and the final adjustments to the oppressed fate of humankind can be made.
The intention underlying of all these ideologies was that everything and everyone would be controlled throughout the journey, until that control was necessary no more.
Yet the systems we have been conditioned into accepting, like the out of control value of money, the rules that are supposedly there to protect and help whilst they disadvantage us, and the process of making very intelligent people doubt themselves or force them to believe and support ideas which run contrary to common sense or that are completely untrue, have all contributed to a situation where many already know the world is out of balance. People know that whatever is behind all of this has gone too far.
Natural, universal, unspoken rules have always existed that require each and every one of us to have the freedom to learn, to grow and to develop if we so choose to do so.
Because of the persistent actions of these patriarchal few and those who have followed them, that freedom for everyone to learn grow and develop, no matter their background or position in life, no longer exists. Because the way the system of the world has been developed now means that many no longer have the opportunity to experience the personal sovereignty to which every man is entitled. No matter how, where or to whom they were born.
A collapse is coming. That collapse is already underway. We are all within it and experiencing it at subjective levels that keep us from the objectivity that would make it much easier to define.
The critical point that is now approaching will be the moment that something happens, that could be civil unrest, financial collapse, the extension of foreign wars, civil war or something else, when each and every one of us realises and accepts that we have a Choice. And that we no longer have to be passengers or passively accept whatever someone else has engineered to be our fate.
The curse of overcentralisation is the never-ending desire of those who are at the centre of that centralisation process to centralise even more. Simply because of the greater rewards and control that they believe it will bring.
The outcome of the overcentralisation is that nobody ever has enough of any of the things they really need. When in a world and time when we have so much available to everyone, this has become a first-hand tragedy for us all to experience indeed.
The only centre that we need and that we should ever seek is the community, locality and to share responsibility for everything amongst the people we see face to face and interact with each day.
This is real life that doesn’t come to us through media channels, digital technology or through rules that have been made by some name without a face.
This system is the only resource and ecosystem that we need to sustain us, that we need contribute to and that can be relied upon to create frameworks and governance for life that will always be in our best interests.
It is the only system that will provide and leave us with the genuine freedom necessary to enjoy every aspect of a good life, as the majority of us would want and like to experience.
The decision to make this change and embrace the power to do so is ours already, if we actually want it.
There is no need for hierarchies, for top-down systems and procedures, for political parties, financial markets and devices, globalised business and supply chains, or anything else that makes life cheaper. When life being cheapened any further is the very last thing that any of us need.
Local communities that are genuinely local and locality driven, and the ecosystems and self contained economies that they will create, offer us everything that we will need to have to experience valuable lives, where the basics and essentials are always in place.
Locality driven communities offer a system of governance meaning that no matter the life choices any one of us makes, we can all live independently of help – and therefore will not experience the forms of lack that are responsible for so many of societies social problems as their root cause.
The value of every one of us is exactly the same and nothing can change this.
No matter what we do, wear, what we have or how we are seen to be, not one of us should be positioned to advantage ourselves by disadvantaging others.
This is where the fundamental basis and genesis of a new world philosophy must be able to begin. One that is designed by us all for everyone rather than by a few who want everything controlled and for that control to be in the hands of one.
***
Over the past 3 years, I have been writing about the different aspects of what is happening; what is likely to happen and how we can all get from here to a much better place.
Whilst the rules and frameworks that govern a new world that will genuinely be of benefit to everyone, must be designed and agreed freely by us all, we still need an idea or vision of the outcomes that we can expect.
Our Local Future is a model for future life that I believe to capture this, which I would invite you to consider. Before someone else has considered and though out an alternative, that when the time has come to make the choice that is genuinely good for us, will instead steal that opportunity and take its place.
Whatever you do next, please remember to beware the many false prophets who are shouting the attractiveness of populism and anarchy now.
Don’t listen to those who tell you they are putting people first.
Keep watching for those who are doing so.
The only centre we need is within our communities themselves. Everything will make sense when everything important throughout our lives revolves around everything we can experience daily at first hand in this way.
Reform’s performance in the Local and Helsby and Runcorn by Elections really does look good.
Anyone looking on can immediately see why so many of the political pundits and members of the opinionati are now backing Reform for a similarly groundbreaking General Election result in 2029.
The uncomfortable truth that many supporters will fail to recognise is the only reason that Reform could achieve a seismic turnaround of the kind that would instantaneously drop Nigel Farage into No.10, would be that when compared to all the others, Reform could still be the only real unknown quantity, and therefore different enough to hoover up the majority of a very fatigued Electorates votes.
Unfortunately for the Electorate, without a significant change in their direction, voting Reform into power at the next General Election would once again be voting without due regard for the Law of Unintended Consequences. Just as it was last July when those who did vote put Labour into Government.
Nonetheless, it could and may well happen.
The real depth and direction of Reform are being hidden by Britain’s Political Perfect Storm
It won’t matter what problems the new Reform Administrations in Local Government create, being directed from Reform HQ, as if everything must now be run and controlled from the very top.
The unavoidable disintegration of the UK public sector that is already well underway will almost certainly hide whatever Reform Councils do from public scrutiny and view.
Because Labour, the Tories and Lib Dem Councils are going to struggle in this climate either not to go bankrupt or find other ways to avoid royally stuffing things up.
Reform aren’t reforming anything other than the public discourse over the issues that the majority of people can see and associate with the effects of the problems that are effecting society.
No matter how far detached those perspectives might be focused from the real cause.
Farage’s approach might at best be viewed as becoming increasingly aligned with the establishment and the global thinking that sits behind so many of the problems and the direction of travel that even this Labour government has.
The irony of this should not be lost, that whilst the parts of the political right that are falling in behind Reform either believe Brexit didn’t happen or that under a Reform government Brexiteers will get to finish the job, the reality is that everything that drove the EU project that Farage’s UKIP and Brexit Party so vocally championed against, also had globalism and the centralised global political model at its heart.
Once it becomes clear that a UK version of the Trumpian DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has no basis within the realities that underpin how our current dysfunctional public sector works, there may well be a moment when those Reformers with elected roles, who are taking their responsibilities to local electors seriously, will realise that there are many things that can still be done. Whilst there are many others that simply cannot.
At some point, the rather large penny must drop, that there is a very careful and considered game to be played that without otherwise torching the entire system and structure of government delivery and bringing it all to a halt, will require the buy-in of key Government officers, nonetheless.
To those watching closely, Farage has already shown his hand.
Whilst it might not be prudent to visit the bookies and begin trying to get odds just yet, as far as the next General Election goes, whenever that actually will be, the perfect storm that has engulfed British politics may well deliver a Reform win.
But it will be the U.K. and our people, rather than whatever is left of the political opposition, that will lose in that Election if Reform have ‘won’ under their current modus operandi and plans.
A Zero-Sum Game?
A rather interesting perspective of the seemingly unassailable position that Reform now has, is that as far as the future goes for the Tories, they currently face a zero-sum game. One that applies whether they capitulate to Reform or carry on as they have done before. As they clearly are continuing to do so, now.
Yes, there remains truth in the suggestion that Reform might never govern without the cooperation or collaboration of today’s Tories in some way.
However, Farage is unlikely to ever accept anything less than remaining in control. And as head of any collaboration and apparent PM in waiting, the real difficulties will begin for us all just as soon as the leadership has a lucid post-victory moment. Probably not unlike like Starmer et al did on the 5th of July last year, when those who had arrived in No.10 realised that unless they were big enough to risk precipitating an immediate collapse of the entire system, pretty much everything would still need to go on as before, and that even though they were in government, they themselves would be required simply to do as they are told.
Picture it now; a coalition that includes what is left of the Conservative Party, all subservient to a government of the kind that will almost certainly be filled with very angry activists. Ideologues who will have been promised much from outside of power, who took it all at face value; all without any of the understanding of how government really works. People who will quickly be looking for someone else to blame.
Now may be the Tories only available Watershed Moment
To say that the choice the Tories have sits between change immediately or die, might sound extreme. But it is a genuine reflection on where the future of this once revered political machine now lies.
The way the Tories would now out reform Reform, would be to reject and distance themselves from the establishment, globalist and accepted positions on just about everything. And not just say, but put everything about the UK and our people, first.
The choice to change cannot mean anything other than putting people and our communities back at the very heart of everything they do.
The Conservatives must return to the basic principles of conservatism and remember what it is to lead and deliver for others, selflessly, and with the key motivation to conserve.
The caveat would be that the Conservatives will also be required to restore and return a model of U.K. governance and related infrastructure to us that can recapture the sense of cultural belonging and shared feeling that our system is fair, balanced and just.
The point being missed across all of British politics today, is that by engaging the public correctly and re enfranchising people and communities appropriately and restoring real trust, people would quickly focus on a very different model of political engagement.
They would not need the myths, false promises and clever narratives to explain away the pain that disenfranchisement has caused for so many before.
Can the Tories actually change, rather than just talk it up?
Whilst being able to stand up and say ‘We have for too long got this all wrong’ is a very important part of getting any credibility back, it will be the actions of Today’s Conservative Party that count.
The rump of what’s left of the Conservative Party must stop pretending that with the level of uncertainty in the world as we have now, they actually have 4 years to try out and give wasted chances to new leaders who still believe that all the Tories need do to remain relevant, is wait until the political merry-go-round does its thing and it’s ‘their turn’ to return to power, once again.
No politician who is a genuine public servant has time to waste. And as it would be correct to say to any would-be political leaders who are ready and willing to do the right thing by the people who put them there, the time to change and begin working as they always should have, is now.
Any Political Solution to the crisis we are in must develop and grow from our communities and grassroots; NOT from any existing Party that still wants to rule everyone Top-Down
One of the key problems with UK Politics today is that it operates as almost the mirror image of wider culture, where most people fall into the trap of believing that their own perspective is the right one. But that anyone with an alternative view of any kind – even in just the smallest of ways, is or will be fundamentally wrong about everything else, too.
Yes, you could easily argue that this is how tribes and groups work.
But politics or rather the UK political system is supposed to be about delivering public policy that is created and then implemented in the best interests of ALL British People.
The one thing that we can be sure of is that when it comes to the political classes who have been running Westminster and our local Councils for decades, there is very little about any of it – apart from the Election campaigns, that has anything to do with or what is best for us.
As I have been discussing in some of my recent blogs, time has now run out for the way that government and our economic system runs. Neoliberalism and everything such as MMT, FIAT money, and the increasingly illogically impractical schemes like Net Zero and everything that pushes people and businesses into being reliant on credit are no longer sustainable.
That is why everything is now in the process of crashing around the Labour Government’s head.
Yes, the politicians in power are incompetent.
No, the mess we are in didn’t begin the day after Labour were elected to power and Starmer arrived in No.10.
And No, not Labour, nor the Tories, the Liberal Democrats, Reform or any other group of politicians currently looking ahead to the next General Election are going to offer and deliver to us anything different. Certainly not in any way that the UK actually needs.
For a time, I was open to the idea that Reform could find itself pursuing a different way. One that would offer the cross-tribal consensus and answers that the UK now needs.
Instead, it has become clear that the mechanics of this 4th evolution of the anti-EU movement certainly hasn’t moved on in any kind of people-centric direction.
Instead, Reform is just reforming itself, but in ways that have a very familiar likeness to political parties that have been in power before, who have increasingly aligned themselves and been led by the machinations of the establishment instead.
The mess over Rupert Lowe and the inescapable optics suggesting that at every level of the Reform Party, the whole thing is all about Nigel Farage, really does speak volumes for itself.
That’s before taking the time to read the outpourings of words from former party activists and ‘officers’ who have recently walked away. Just like better known voices associated with Reform such as those of Howard Cox and Ben Habib.
If any of the names instantly trigger feelings that suggest you have taken a side as you read – no matter the reason, it is exactly that kind of emotion that is our collective problem.
Disagreement over the smallest of things shuts so many of us down to the reality that we all have views about different things that we might never agree on. But when it comes down to all the things that are actually important, there is an awful lot of commonalities between all of us to be found.
Difficult to hear though it might be, it is the division that is deliberately sown between us over issues that we do have in common – by them being presented in ways that make them appear and trigger us as if they are something else – that really plays into the hands of the incompetent political classes that we regrettably have.
As things stand, and without a lot of us choosing to approach our relationship with politics very differently, the same people dividing us and guiding us to hate people we should not have any hate for, are set to keep guiding the ship that we are all beginning to sink on. And they will happily continue to do so, until the whole thing actually goes down.
Westminster is just the tip of the ruling iceberg that we can actually see.
Behind central government sits all the things like power, influence and the wealth accumulation that money controls and which is carefully kept outside of open view.
Because the truth is that the only people who benefit from us continuing to elect politicians who are under the spell of the establishment are those politicians and all those who are benefiting from the continuation of the establishment itself.
Whilst there is very good reason to believe that the wheels could fall off this broken bus at any moment in time, for those who have been aware and watching the direction of travel of the UK (and for that matter the whole of the Western world) for a considerable period of time, both the Global Financial Crisis and then the responses to the Covid Pandemic could, and arguably should, have already been the catalysts that introduced a genuinely new way of doing governance to the UK.
That these two massive events didn’t doesn’t indicate that change cannot or will not come.
The fact that we have been led to believe that what the politicians have done in response is in any way normal just tells us even more about how deeply embedded those who genuinely believe or work with this Top-Down, them vs us culture really are, right across the establishment.
We can see just how far they are prepared to take things in their attempts to stop the whole thing from crashing down, even now. Indeed, they are growing so desperate to maintain The System, they are even attacking the people who their ‘tribe’ have always typically helped.
Whilst the talk of absolutes will certainly sound like a contradiction to the words used as I began writing this Blog above, the one dividing line that we really do have no choice but to observe and then decide upon, is which side we sit between the establishment and all it stands for, and on the other side, the people and what putting people, our communities and the environment surrounding the places where we live and work, first.
Whilst even the Tories are successfully making themselves sound very plausible, just 8 months on from losing power, in the context of everything that the Labour Government is doing wrong, none of these political parties – and that almost certainly now includes Reform, show any sign of genuinely offering an alternative to establishment-directed public policy today.
However, it isn’t today and what is now past that we need to worry about. The most important thing is the future, and specifically what happens when we reach the next General Election and what must be ‘our time’.
The UK and we as its people cannot afford another General Election result that delivers power to any group – whether elected directly, or assembled as a result of some kind of post-election ‘deal’, that then goes on to do whatever the hell it likes.
No political party out there today, currently canvassing for votes in this years Local Elections is offering to do anything in any different kind of way.
We know this, because the way that they are running their election campaigns right now; how they are communicating and most importantly, how they are engaging with real people outside the bubbles of their own members and activists, is exactly the same as it has always been before.
To put it bluntly, we can no longer afford to take the risk that comes with accepting a choice of political candidates in any election, that not us, but the political parties themselves actually choose.
Change will not come in the way that we now so desperately need it, if we keep on doing politics at every level in the UK in exactly the same way!
It is our communities and the people who are around us every day who should be selecting the people who will represent us at all levels of government.
Not people we don’t know beyond the pictures, websites, social media and TV screens.
We need public representatives to represent us who have genuine skin in our game. People who are answerable only to us and who are committed to delivering locality-centric democracy, that is the only way that democracy can genuinely thrive, survive and most importantly, work.
Whilst government and the public sector really do now need to undergo massive change, the reality is that our communities could be working together to select and elect non-party candidates in all elections, right now.
We certainly don’t need any kind of change to the electoral system that just favours the election of more incompetent candidates. Ambitious and self-serving politicians whose actions will be made even worse by the guaranteed requirement for compromise on public policy that schemes like Proportional Representation as a replacement for First Past the Post would bring.
Power MUST come back to the people. Not through carefully crafted labels like ‘devolution’ and ‘devolved power’ that is nothing more than Regional Centralisation sold to us with a very misleading name.
The power – OUR POWER is already ours and that power can be made to work for us right now. IF we choose to use it. Look beyond the manufactured differences. And focus on working together, on the important things that we all have in common, and to deliver a new world and way of being that is happy, healthy, safe, secure and governs life with fairness, balance and justice for us all.
Anyone can begin this process of change and the appointment of new candidates to become the public representatives and politicians who will create and deliver our new future, right now. And we need them to, IF we are going to experience beneficial change.
That change will only be certain if we all change the way that we think. What we can be sure of, however, is that a good future for us all doesn’t and will not start where anything ‘new’ for the politicians and voices that we already recognise as public figures begins.
The ‘Great Reset’ is just 1 of at least 3 resets underway. We should all consider what the desperate attempts to reset the world actually mean
Everyone knows we are in a mess. We just can’t agree why
We are awakening to the reality that a conspiracy theory is no longer a theory and is certainly no longer a conspiracy, once everyone can see that whatever it is, is actually true.
There is much to ponder over the question of the ‘Great Reset’. In terms of who or what is resetting anything; why they are trying to reset it and what it will mean if any of them actually turn out to be successful.
As many of us are likely to realise painfully, very soon, the intended forms of ‘reset’ or ‘resets’ that are underway – and there are arguably at least 3, are relying on a lot more chance than they are anything that resembles any modicum of control.
Collectively, we may soon begin to realise that these planned ‘resets’ were just the manifestations of different forlorn hopes of what was once the very same new world order, now falling to bits as it loses control.
‘They’ know the game is up. That’s why ‘they’ are trying to ‘reset’
‘It was good whilst it lasted’ should be very much at the forefront of the minds of everyone with power, stood in front of their mirror, who is desperately trying to carve out a new future led by themselves today. Rather than whatever the sense of entitlement to continuing power and the accompanying delusions of grandeur that they are actually holding now.
You will not need me to explain how today’s media and the narratives that they so religiously convey would never share how vulnerable the establishment is now feeling. Nor any of the truths and therefore unspoken secrets that would actually explain to everyone how everything within the system does indeed work.
On this basis, you may also therefore be able to understand and appreciate that the last thing that anyone with power and influence wants the general public to know, is just how fragile everything currently is. How close things have been to collapse for a number of years, and how the almost constant flow of policy decisions and steps being taken that we are experiencing are actually a clear sign that the establishment is now in a very serious mess.
In real terms for us, the existing world order will continue to exist until the precise moment that it cannot convince the majority of us that it is there, still functioning and in control of everything, anymore.
Those who we are about to look at in more detail have known or been aware that ‘the game is up’ for a long while. Yet they are now in the process of attempting to create and implement a new world or new world order systems, that they then intend to lead and control.
World governance looks like a massive race against time. However, the reality is that they are all racing against events, forces, factors or whatever you feel comfortable calling factors, that are way outside of their control.
Reset 1: The reset that won’t reset the world as we know and generally accept it in the way they want
First in the list of the three resets, is what many will have heard and what those labelled as ‘conspiracy theorists’ celebrate as ‘The Great Reset’.
The Great Reset is being pursued, pushed, demanded and implemented by those involved with and aligned with the WEF (World Economic Forum).
In terms of the government and establishment figures who are ‘in on it’, the WEF ‘plan’ and what we now know as The Great Reset has, for a long time, been the only real ‘reset’ game in town.
There is so much that I could write about the realities of what ‘the few’ who sit beyond Western democracies and effectively ‘pull the strings’ of many different governments have done, that it would probably take many different books to get even remotely close to the detail.
The WEF are the group that we usually hear most about early each year, when the great and the good fall over themselves to head to Davos for a big meeting. Where it seems like an endless number of private jets, flown by everyone who is preaching at us to go green and look exactly the same get lined up.
These are the people who are responsible for the way that public policy has actually been formed and implemented for over 50 years, as part of a strategy or plan that has always been about a them and us approach to world governance.
These are the governing elites who use and manipulate existing ‘democratic’ systems to make what they are doing look legitimate.
They use a top-down hierarchical approach, that we believe to be all that it says, because elected representatives are technically still in charge.
Those who really understood neoliberalism and what the adoption of a FIAT money system, alongside the deregulation and manipulation of laws and rules to favour big business and profiteering that is under their control, also knew from the start that the life of the system it was driving was finite and that the wealth divide that it would necessarily create would eventually become too wide for even the uneducated not to see for all that it was.
Tools such as the EU (which has never been in anyway democratic but has been able to hide behind nationally elected governments so that it can perpetuate the lie that it has) have deliberately chipped away at the mechanisms, infrastructure and governance of sovereign nations. So that borders and basically anything that can give identity to people, groups and communities – i.e. the tools which are necessary for independence – have not only been removed, but then destroyed, so that there is little or no way back for any kind of revival of sovereign states, once they have been absorbed by whatever was supposed to come next.
What they didn’t bank on, was that the financial and monetary system would unravel in the way and with the speed that it has – helped in no small part by the responses of inept politicians to Covid and the War in Ukraine – and that events have now reached a point where the whole bus is about to go over the cliff, without the necessary tools of unquestioned societal control being anywhere near in place.
The front and belief that these people have not only had, but exerted through the governments that they have basically controlled for many years has been breathtaking.
In the majority of respects, all that they have been doing has been almost perfectly hidden in plain sight. Not least of all because control of the narratives and the media that share them with us has meant that the harm they have inflicted upon our own people as a consequence of their actions has been hidden. Whilst the impact of their behaviour on entire nations and peoples beyond their direct and desired sphere of influence has never been openly acknowledged or exposed to the people unwittingly under their control.
Here in the UK, people cannot earn enough to actually live on what the establishment dictates to be the Minimum Wage and the growing infliction of poverty amongst our own people, so that this grand strategy can be pursued, is troubling enough.
However, in many different countries abroad, the way that they and their kind have used money, markets, commodities and even wars to achieve these nefarious ends have not gone unnoticed.
With some of the more recent steps, that have simply taken things too far, there is a growing group of countries that have been considered to be outside the exclusive club that has been the West, that now see and have been actively working towards the implementation of their alternative choice of reset.
Reset 2: BRICS and a very unhappy world beyond ‘The West’
If you already think that what you are reading here is the stuff of conspiracies, it is more than likely that you also accept and take at face value, everything that the media tells us about events and what is happening in countries and across the world beyond what we know as the West.
The western narratives certainly don’t entertain or make suggestion at any level that our governments and the big businesses that are based across the west and which are traded here, have been exploiting every resource that they could capture control of. Simply by manipulating foreign governments, replacing them or invading sovereign states and taking over so that they can do pretty much the same thing.
Where the Western ‘few’ have done this already and taken all that they could through other ‘acceptable’ means, they have then artificially lowered, raised and even held prices of commodities, precious metals and currencies within the markets that they control, so that anything that these vested interests that are based in the west have needed to pay for has always been available to them for less.
This in itself is in no small contributing part to why the west is hated as much as it is.
The reality that we all face is that no matter how little we have been aware of what the establishment and those who control it have been doing ourselves, the people from these other countries who have suffered and gone without so that the few from the west can profit from them, don’t see any of us as being different from those who are actually responsible.
One of the most horrid parts of the whole sordid affair that the majority of populations right across the world do share in common, is that the only way that the western few have been able to do all that they have done, is by having created and implemented a financial, monetary and economic system that has effectively provided them with money that isn’t real and therefore money that they wouldn’t otherwise have had.
They have then used this money to buy up land, resources, infrastructure and even businesses that it would have been impossible for them to have done so otherwise.
Growing numbers of these countries from outside of the west have been progressively working together.
In recent years they have created another international group or body that you may have heard of which is called BRICS.
Two years on, I understand that the currency now has a name and is called The Unit; that it has already been tested in electronic or digital form, and that whilst Asian Countries in particular have been using the price suppression that our governments have stupidly played along with to hoover up and transport massive quantities of precious metals to the Far East, the BRICS Nations are also working towards the launch of a grain (and commodities) trading exchange.
Those who have been watching the evolution of BRICS will attest to the reality that very little of this was even on the cards during the last Trump Administration.
The ‘final straws’ have appeared and in turn broken the camel’s back, in the form of US Foreign Policy during the Biden Term. Which not unlike the actions of the Labour government in the UK today aren’t just an isolated one-off whose actions can be corrected once they are gone.
The policies that these governments have enacted are in fact the end of a very long downward chain of decisions that have been made to benefit and most recently save the skins of a few vested interests. Rather than being about anything to do with what is in the best interests of the people that they actually represent.
Any or all of the systems that BRICS are known to be building or working on have the potential to create financial and market chaos across the whole of the West and not just the USA, potentially within days if not hours of them being launched.
However, as plausible and as well thought out as these plans might be with the aim of effectively switching market and financial power to the East from the West, they do rely on what may prove to be the naïve idea that everyone in the West will simply accept the change and willingly step aside.
The real risk of a financial, market and economic collapse in the West, that is precipitated by BRICS systems or similar, is what western governments decide they (and therefore what we) should do in response, as the first thing that BRICS would almost certainly do is expose the systems that we have as not being in anyway real.
That means that we will have a critical emergency when it comes to the need for real leadership to step in and do whatever we will then need to do.
Reset 3: Trump is too Trumpian, too Late and too much of the same
Barely two months into the second Trump Administration and the flurry of headlines that policies such as DOGE have created, the noise and many distractions being caused are taking much of our attention away from the events that are unfolding around the world.
There is very little discussion or thought regarding what the result or outcome of Trumps ‘strategy’ will be. Not only in the long term. But critically within perhaps just the weeks and months that lie immediately ahead.
Many cannot see and fewer can accept that recent US Democrat Administrations under Clinton, Obama and Biden were all very much geared towards pushing a system that Trump appears to be destroying, overtly for all the ‘bad reasons’ that can be seen such as open immigration and woke policy.
Unfortunately, all those things that people didn’t like about the Biden Administration and those that contributed before, as well as all the recent governments in the UK, were just side effects or symptoms of everything bad in the centre. A direction of travel that has long since required growing chaos in all directions, so that the policies can be delivered which were their priority or genuine choice all along.
Politicians who are owned by self-interest and greed are all doing whatever it is that they believe necessary to keep the ‘Moneyocracy’ afloat.
It just looks different across different countries. Because the systems in each country are still different enough for a different approach to be required, IF they are to succeed in making the ultimate end game work.
In real terms, this means that the core direction is simply being rewrapped and represented differently wherever it is possible to do so, so that enough people will hopefully accept this ‘new’ way of doing things, until the real truth of even that is then exposed.
Regrettably for us in the UK, we are much further down the road than even the US.
Whereas Trump is doing plenty that gives the impression that it his reset is not only different, but that it will work and it will be beneficial, the situation here is that we are knocking on the door of the Inn that we have been desperately looking for, just as the sign goes up outside to say no vacancies and the landlord is calling ‘Time!’
Money has no real value, yet we have made it worth everything, whilst everything with real value has been made worthless by money
If you’ve read this far and the story that is unfolding is making any level of sense, you will also have some idea of the mess that we are in.
Not because all of these things are happening – because they certainly are. But because the next thing that comes to mind when you can see and accept the problem is that as things stand, there also doesn’t appear or feel like there’s any way out.
In my recent eBook Your Beliefs Today Create Everyone’s Experiences Tomorrow we journeyed through the opportunity to consider the different perspectives that everyone has; those perspectives that groups of people share; how shared perspectives are then perceived differently, and then what this all adds up to, or rather could add up to in the bigger scheme of things.
What is now beginning to become ever more apparent to anyone paying close attention to events that are happening around the world – and not just on our ‘accepted’ media channels, is that there are common themes amongst all the different experiences that we have.
These common themes demonstrate that everyone outside of the elite and ruling classes have many things in common that are being overlooked, missed and hidden by everything that the establishment has done and is still doing to create divides.
Money and the importance that it has as the tool that the establishment uses to manipulate, control and basically con the entire population is also the common factor with the elite groups or amongst the VVIPs whose fights are now breaking into the open as they take whatever steps they consider necessary on what they believe is their own respective pathways to control.
To summarise:
1. The WEF/UN/Known western establishment ‘Great Reset’ is falling apart because the elites involved have lost control of the FIAT driven monetary, economic and financial systems. Not least of all because they have either abused or failed to adhere to their own rules.
The UK could easily prove to be the first domino that falls because of the actions of the current Labour government that appear to have snapped into even closer alignment with the ‘plan’.
Whereas many other Western countries are openly resisting in what has manifested generally along more ‘right wing’ lines.
2. The BRICS ‘reset’ has been building, developing and evolving outside and beyond of our mainstream news view – even though you are likely to have heard BRICS mentioned at various times.
From the information available by doing web searches, watching and listing to podcasts that are available, it is becoming clear that whatever BRICS is going to do with a new currency, grain and commodities trading, and the precious metals that offer a very different and potentially anchored approach to whatever it will be that BRICS does, it could be launched and begin to create chaos across the Western world as we know it very soon.
3. The Trump ‘reset’ has been underway since the 20th of January 2025 when the returning President of the United States was sworn in and the new Administration got straight to work.
Trump’s reset is an attempt to shed or eject all of the bad and damaging policies and issues that were created overtly by the Biden Administration and to remove all the issues that people have not taken kindly to, such as woke ideology and everything that is currently being presented as being in a mess.
What is not so clear is that the plans being followed are also about retaining US hegemony and the status of the US Dollar as the ‘worlds reserve currency’, pretty much with the approach and thinking that bullying and bulldozing will overcome the resistance of a lot of very pissed off countries that will very quickly snap back into line.
Unfortunately, just with the example of the BRICS nations alone, we can already see that they see a pathway to their independence from the existing world order, and there is little to suggest that they will be happy to welcome it back – just because Trump is demanding otherwise.
***
It is reasonably safe to conclude that a system collapse precipitated by any or all of these 3 resets or indeed any other, will reach way beyond the scope of just the financial, economic and monetary systems themselves.
This is why our cultural focus upon money and the way that it has become the value mark for everything in life is not only dangerous. But has the potential to invite change and the chaos that goes with it on a level that has never been witnessed before.
If you were to have a conversation with a handful of different people and ask them for their view on the problems and what their solutions to those problems would be, it is unlikely that any of them would respond in a way that suggests that the existing monetary system and the way that we value money would be at its core. Even if they were to make suggestions that might at first glance appear to address the problems as they see them.
Even economists and highly regarded academics and researchers would fall into this category.
They share what we might call a situational bias that reaches across society and currently refuses to accept that the basis of what people are comfortable with (or benefit from) within the current system, would not or rather could not exist anymore.
It is important for those seeking solutions to understand that problems such as the exploding welfare bill, increasing poverty, the reliance upon debt and how it is considered ‘normal’, along with replacing jobs with new tech and AI are and would remain symptomatic of resets 1 and 3, with things likely to become worse much more quickly, if any collapse should be driven by a BRICS takeover.
Whilst any or all of the resets continue and appear to work, society as we know it will function less and less as we have known it – or at least not for the majority of the Western population whilst changes made under the resets favour some at much higher cost to many more.
Ultimately however, none of the resets can work permanently because of the disparity that they will cause. With even the BRICS reset working on the basis that it would switch one type of world dominance which is wholly unfair and unjust, for a completely different one which would only appear to be a switch of places for the specific VVIPs and elites who are involved ‘at the top’.
Moving away from chaos
Regrettably, it is very difficult and probably impossible to convince enough people that the way we are living, with the priorities that we have, is not only unsustainable and inflicting potentially great harm on everyone’s future. But that it is also only really benefiting the VVIPs and the elites, with the perceived material benefit to everyone else always proving to be transitory at best.
This means that things either have to crash, or other unforeseen events will need to take place that effectively result in the same thing and same experience for everyone, before enough of us will accept that the time has arrived for change and that change will not resemble anything like we have known before.
Until that point of acceptance, the elites and the VVIPs will retain control and continue to pursue every avenue possible to maintain and keep them in control.
Chaos will be the immediate result and the inevitable next step, with the alternative then being a power grab from opportunists who will prove to be even worse than the pathways of the 3 resets that we have now. OR the people and our communities can step up, take back power and determine the future for ourselves.
This is the only kind of ‘reset’ that we should ever allow or have.
