Opinion and reporting by Mathew Carr
June 26-July 2, 2024: In politics, timing is everything.
I believe the United Kingdom has been captured by the United States and its interests.
And the US is secretly influencing how we will vote next Thursday.
America is the country that has secretly interfered with more democratic processes than any nation in human history. (Source: my gut and a survey of scores of voters.)
Most likely, they want Labour to win because that political party under Keir Starmer has shown it’s compliant enough.
(Eg they promised no wealth tax ahead of gaining office) …continues below…
English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh folks now have only a week to “take back control” of their country from the American imperialists that have made the country a vassal state … after pretending Europe was the problem as they encouraged Brexit.
The British have a small 7-day window to make sure the people elected to parliament on July 4 are strong enough to hold the new Labour administration to account … for the British people ahead of the Secret American Imperial Project.
Call me a conspiracy theorist if you must, but I’m following the money and I’ve spoken to scores of voters and others who are seeing the writing on the wall.
July 4 is traditionally American independence day. But really, it’s now the UK’s only chance to be independent of America (to some extent — not completely, obviously).
Fewer wars, less brutality, more privacy, less debt. Restoring nature. Protecting the vulnerable. Being happier.
This is the historic opportunity if we get it right.
I’ve got dual British-Australian citizenship and, while admiring much about the United States, it’s time we showed the “Yanks” that politics, economics and society CAN be better than the way they do it — which is all about the money, recklessness and brutality and — when you boil it down — very little else. The famous American friendliness, spirituality and morality has fallen to the wayside. I’m talking about much of the administration and lawmakers, not the American people.
Secret American Imperial Project
The problem America faces is two of the main pillars of its 80-year Secret American Imperial Project are breaking down.
*Warmongering is no longer acceptable to the global population after the brutal Ukraine and Gaza violence. Julian Assange’s freedom Wednesday demonstrates a global shift, as have the consistent protesting in cities across the world against the US-endorsed Gaza violence.
The brutality across 80 years worked by extracting billions of dollars from American and British taxpayers for use to dress up “forever wars” as legitimate. This was — and is I assume — one of Assange’s key messages.
*The world is shifting away from crude oil traded in US dollars, so that buying and selling activity (where users of oil must purchase USD before they buy fuel, underpinning the currency) is beginning to fall away at an increasing pace. That shift away from the petro dollar has really only just started as Assange is set free.
*A third pillar, the tech bros, are also under intensifying regulatory pressure.
If you follow the money, the apparent replacement pillar is debt — where the US exerts control by indebting other nations.
It’s not new but US treatment of Japan, for instance, has shown debt imperialism could have some long way to go as a tool for containment and suppression.
The pandemic stoked it bigtime.
Emerging Markets
Can and will America try to do to its own people what “it did” to Japan ?
This debt pillar has been deployed especially in Japan as part of the Secret American Imperial Project …to test the limits of sovereign indebtedness.
Does Britain want to become the next Japan? No
I spoke with some people familiar with the senior machinations of the Japanese government.
Like my home country of Australia and my adopted country Britain, Japan has been pretty much captured by America since World War II.
Interests linked to the United States have deployed a multi-decade strategy to weaken Japan and push down on its people. (You see, it became a little too successful in the 1980s and 90s…eg in car making, supply chain management.)
The US strategy involves imposing so much financial debt on the people of a country, they are too weak and distracted to object or do anything about it.
They have to work so hard just to keep up with the repayments.
In Japan, that means working two or three jobs and having very little fun, said one of the people familiar with the situation.
It also means political persecution for anyone who speaks out against the mainstream narrative, the person said.
Japan’s debt to gross domestic product has reached over 260%, the highest globally or near it during the past few years. In the UK and US, the measure is closer to 100%, which is why I say the debt pillar has a way to run.
But now Japan seems to be fighting back. I believe Japan was pushing for the release of Assange.
There were state visits by Japan when president Biden flagged he might release Assange in April and in the UK ahead of Assange’s release on June 26.
Aside: Earlier in TOKYO: Norinchukin Bank will sell more than 10 trillion yen ($63 billion) of its holdings of U.S. and European government bonds during the year ending March 2025 as it aims to stem its losses from bets on low-yield foreign bonds, a main cause of its deteriorating balance sheet, and lower the risks associated with holding foreign government bonds. (Nikkei) The company’s net loss for the year ending March 2025, which was previously forecast to top 500 billion yen, will rise to the 1.5 trillion yen level with the bond sales.
June 26, Bloomberg story on weak yen…38-year low …think about that for a moment:
Note the final sentence above
There are sophisticated plans to use debt to continue the Secret American Impirial Project (ok, it’s not that secret but there is a level of deception).
Leverage
Jeana De Zoysa, is an environmentalist, NVDA (non-violent direct action) organiser and coordinator for various movements relating to climate and environmental justice under different organisations, and is also an animal welfare advocate and conservation social media activist and writer.
She also knows a thing or two about missing your moment of political leverage.
She was part of the protest movement that captured and overran the presidential palace in Sri Lanka in July 2022.
After capturing the physical place, the people there should have made much bigger demands before leaving, she told me earlier this month in London after an event promoting a new movie on the emerging-country’s struggles. The nation is now lumbered with a samey same administration even after the previous administration was shown to be corrupt.
In a different way to Britain, Sri Lanka is an attractive island to the US (and China) because of its position just off the coast of the south of India, the world’s most populous nation.
The UK is important to America not just because of its colonial history and cultural influence, but because it is a seat of finance and journalism …and the seat of the language that’s become the global norm for commerce.
Concluding comment
It will be interesting to see at the end of next week whether the English people (and their “united” neighbors) are more clever at grabbing their political leverage opportunity than their Sri Lankan compatriots were.
The mainstream press seem against that shift as they gormlessly pretend the election outcome is a binary choice between Tories and Labour.
Choosing independent candidates or smaller parties (not the deceptively named Reform party) will force real change…not Starmer’s fake incremental change.
(More to come…updates with context on debt to GDP …see below for just some of the distractions)
NOTES
Sophisticated Distractions in Britain
The crucial importance of this July 4 vote can be measured in part by the sophisticated ways we BRITONS are being made to think the result is inevitable — a Labour government that complies with the US and other global corporate influences, advertisers, press.
–There was a snap poll so we are already a week away from the vote after five frantic weeks. There are also now France elections on both sides of July 4.
–The Euro Cup soccer tournament is happening throughout much of the hustings and debate period, lowering the chance the populous will get too feisty.
Glastonbury festival is being held from 26th-30th June.
Politicians betting on themselves and on the timing of the election highlights the (largely) corrupt nature of members of the Conservatives party … yet it keeps that party in our minds …when the press and corporations know full well the Labour and Conservative parties ARE the problem — the forever-war uniparty.
And I believe the Tories as they are known have no chance in this election (though they are a devious bunch, so beware…and constituency borders have been changed under their watch and I’m sure the loosely regulated attack ads on social media are having an impact).
(Mathew Carr is [I am] running to be independent MP for the Cities of London and Westminster constituency. Vote independent to “keep the bastards honest.” It’s a turn of phrase, I have nothing against bastards, to be sure.)
