The absurdity of "Trickle Down" economics - Elitist Lies!

£100bn lost in tax avoidance by individuals
People using tax havens have deprived governments worldwide of £100bn in revenue, enough to end extreme poverty twice over, according to new figures published today by Oxfam.
I can tell you what does trickle down, effluent--from the mouths of corporate elitist liars and their bedfellows.

I know many sage and learned economics gurus wax wise about such theories as "trickle down" economics... that is nice for them... but many of us live in a practical world, sometimes with brutal reality.

The theory of "trickle down" economics posits that if the corporate elitist power-monger is provided with sufficient wealth... then they will create jobs and buy stuff therefore dripping nickels and dimes into the raggedy pockets of the unwashed masses... and everyone lives happily ever after.

Nice theory but amassed corporate and personal wealth seems to defy gravity and gravitates in all directions except down. It seems that a greater force than gravity, osmosis has a way of diverting and sopping up all spillage.
The total amount of lost tax revenue is far higher than £100 billion, as the figure only includes tax dodged by individuals, and not companies.
That is just a UK perspective, viewed world-wide the figure is beyond belief.

Taxation for the working class is exempt of course, tax is skimmed at source. Think 45% tilted playing field.

The extent of public knowledge about this outright larceny is well known, condoned by corrupt governance, practitioners of these public theft schemes are an astonishing industry.

14,000 tax avoidance schemes (sold) and counting...  

At the last count, since rules requiring the disclosure of tax avoidance arrangements to HMRC were introduced in 2004 there had been around 14,000 such schemes.
Or so we thought. Now it seems these might be far from the limit of the problem, as many "promoters" of schemes, such as accountants, lawyers and specialist "boutique" tax avoidance firms, are refusing to play the game.
Refused to play the game???? 

The government replaces the chips when the reckless corporate scum have made the wrong bet, using tax payer funds of course. Federal reserve banking schemes cram the vaults of zombie banks ensuring their viability.

But where does all this replacement "money go?"

From bitter experience - not to the street!

Pure unadulterated larceny perpetrated by corporations and condoned by corrupt politicians ranges far above NOT paying fair tax.

Rigged, fleeced, duped and scoffed at - Is EVERY Market Rigged?

If you believe corporations create jobs in any event - think again.

Who Creates Jobs? Not Who You Think- Perhaps.

What can be done? 

Due to the extent of corruption, lies and deceit within the system... probably not much from a macro view. Think of the system as a system of corruption, not a system with corruption within it. This realization is the start for considering personal options within it.

The conclusion is obvious, you are by and large on your own. 

There is no white knight or cavalry coming to right the atrocities. We have reached a point in time where personal survival comes back to street smarts and wits.

Anticipate global socioeconomic collapse.

Think self-sufficiency, think of sustaining yourself through alternate "economy" means, trade, barter, swap, re-purpose--do anything you can to avoid feeding the insatiable beast. Be within the laws of the land, but don't be fettered by provided conventional solutions. Strive for self-sufficiency at least to some degree.

Your circumstances and location will dictate what you can and cannot do... but there are strategies for everyone. Many groups exist and participants are willing to assist.

Remember, the actual issue is about distribution, not shortage.

As with money food is also plentiful yet elusive.... roughly 50% of all food produced is thrown away each day.

Above all else, consider where you are located... is it a waiting death trap?



Stay tuned....

Austerity-A Fancy Word for Destitute.

The reason for this post is not for the folks who have been caught in the first wave of personal economic hard reality, but the next wave. Regardless of the optimism espoused by grinning leaders and sycophant press, we are entering the final stage of global economic collapse. It began in 2008 and was forestalled for five years with fudge putty, but the weight of global indebtedness cannot be propped any longer and the final crunch is imminent. Austerity measures herald the final throes.  Indications of coming austerity.   Austerity measures are the final last ditch effort, futile or not! Back in the day many of us old-timers went through periods of "hard-times". In retrospect I realize there is no comparison to yesteryear hard times and today's version. Back then, expectations were never very high for the working class, there were no sophisticated systems or conveniences anyway. In fact the difference between being "set" or not was about having treats or not. Si...

Terrifying Arctic methane levels

A peak methane level of 3026 ppb was recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 469 mb on December 11, 2021 am. This follows a peak methane level of  3644 ppb  recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 367 mb on November 21, 2021, pm. A peak methane level of 2716 ppb was recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 586 mb on December 11, 2021, pm, as above image shows. This image is possibly even more terrifying than the image at the top, as above image shows that at 586 mb, i.e. much closer to sea level, almost all methane shows up over sea, rather than over land, supporting the possibility of large methane eruptions from the seafloor, especially in the Arctic.  Also, the image was recorded later than the image at the top with the 3026 ppb peak, indicating that even more methane may be on the way. This appears to be confirmed by the Copernicus forecast for December 12, 2021, 03 UTC, as illustrated by the image below, which shows methane at 500 hPa (equivalent to 500 mb). Furthermore, ...

Women and children overboard

It's the  Catch-22  of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations,"  like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans."  Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that ...
