I wanted to write about something else. But to avoid legal problems, I need to wait for a certain situation to evolve before throwing in my ignorant contribution.
The illusion of freedom
Anyone who watches the Neil Oliver monologues available on YouTube will be aware of his hypothesis that the idea of democracy and freedom is a lie which has outlasted its usefulness for the ruling elites – politicians, bureaucrats, bankers and our supine prostitute media. The lie was perhaps finally exposed by the Chinese lab-leaked plague lockdowns when we were imprisoned in our homes and many people were forced to allow an untested and possibly dangerous new medical procedure they didn’t need if they wished to keep their jobs, travel or just remain part of society.
Our cringing obedience to the lockdowns surprised our rulers and made them realise how easy it was to force us to act against our own best interests. So now they don’t care what we think or want:
- Want a ‘smart meter’ which will allow energy companies to raise prices when demand outstrips supply or even to cut off your power (due to the economically-suicidal Net Zero)? Well, you’ll be forced to have one as traditional electricity meters are discontinued and you’re told that your traditional meter has reached the end of its life and so must be replaced as it is ‘dangerous’. To ensure you comply, probably your insurance company will refuse to insure your home unless you have your supposedly ‘dangerous’ traditional meter replaced
- Want a useless and massively-expensive heat pump? No? Well you’ll be forced to have one. To encourrage you to comply the authorities will downgrade your home’s ‘energy efficiency’ rating if you don’t agree to have one and maybe even make it illegal to sell a home with a low energy efficiency rating
- Want a useless and hugely-expensive, impractical, range-limited, fire-hazard electric milk-float pretending to be a car? No? Well, you’ll be forced to have one as sales of efficient, cheap petrol and diesel cars are gradually banned
- Want masses of cameras recording where you drive and fining you should you dare leaving the small area in which you live as our rulers implement their “15-minute cities” plans? No? Well, nobody cares what you want. Our rulers’ beloved”15-minute cities” are coming whether you like it or not
- Want mass immigration of over one million mostly-uneducated, mostly-unemployable, often violent, culturally-backward Third Worlders every year? No? Well, nobody gives damn about what want. Our rulers are doing everything they can to import the Third World to destroy our culture and our countries
- Want multi-billion-pound subsidy payments to the owners of useless windfarms and even more useless solar farms to give Britain some of the highest energy prices in the world bankrupting British businesses and destroying hundreds of thousand of jobs? No? Maybe you don’t want this because your realise that Net Zero is a scam and that by pursuing it Britain is committing economic suicide? Well, nobody gives a toss what you think. Net Zero will be imposed and you will suffer the consequences
- Want a war with Russia? Well ……………….
I just found this quote from rock musician Frank Zappa. It seems to me to perfectly encapsulate our situation where our ruling classes have no use anymore for the illusion of democracy or freedom. Instead they intend to impose their totalitarian fantasies on our increasingly-restricted, increasingly-impoverished lives whether we like it or not:

Of course democracy is an illusion, and surely this was revealed with the Brexit vote. This was an example of direct democracy where we voted for a specific policy. Democracy is based on the majority view being accepted as the correct policy. Many of those who voted to remain in the EU did not accept the result, along with MPs. Parliament did everything possible to frustrate leaving and it has been and still is a complete shambles.
It made me question why the majority has the right to impose their view on the minority. In the UK the majority is determined by those who vote Those entitled to vote but don’t are ignored. Look at the Brexit vote and every election result for years and it is apparent that based on the voters on the electoral register that a minority determine the decision. We don’t even have a majority deciding what happens. This cannot be right and cannot continue. But even if all the registered electorate vote, what right does the majority have to impose their view on the minority? We are not free and another part of the scam is to divide and confuse us in anyway possible. We have right and left in politics and we stupidly accept it. The choices should be freedom from control by the state or control by the state. Most people could not survive without state support and so we will never be free.
The other part of the illusion is universal suffrage. This has made people feel that they determine who represents them and further that the MPs are responsible to us. That clearly is not the case, and I doubt that few people read the party manifesto before they vote, and don’t complain to their MP when manifesto promises are broken. The repeatedly broken promises on migrant numbers is a good example. We have no control over what the government does and Parliament, our representatives, has no control over the government.
One person who saw the problems years ago was Ayn Rand and she links our rights and freedoms to free competitive trade. We don’t have free trade in spite of the continued references to it. Nothing demonstrates this more than the transfer of our jobs to China. There was no benefit to us from cheaper goods, which free trade should provide, instead the western manufacturers just made more profit. The politicians allowed it. Who controls it all – the big businesses and in particular the central banks and the money printing. The system can only go in one direction and that is collapse.
I recently saw a reference to a document called “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion”. It is said to be a fake, and it first appeared in Russia about 1903, and even those who say it is a fake agree on the date. It is not clear who wrote it or who it refers to, but it describes very well everything that is happening today including the main objective of a world government.
