What's Going On: A Synopsis, Part I

 What's Going On: A Synopsis, Part I

There seem to be two economic- and social- Cycles.

In the first, repeated more often (within Capitalism, at least), the economy crashes every twenty years or so.

The last crash was in 2007/08 (Northern Rock etc,here in the UK; likewise in the US).

So, the next crash is, or was due later in this decade.

Say, by 2027.

The second cycle seems to be about every five hundred years, when the entire economic- and social-system changes.

Thus, in Britain:

The Romans arrived at about two thousand years' ago (55BC or so, if I remember correctly).

Then, about five hundred years' later, they left, and the Angles and Saxons turned up, from what is now Eastern Denmark and, at about the same time, again if I recall correctly, The Jutes were 'invited' to come and 'protect' Kent, from about the same place.

About five hundred years' more, in 1066, 'The Northmen', who had settled in Normandy, likely from what is now Norway, (and, so, are referred to as 'The Normans') turned up at Pevensey, East Sussex.

William brought his bankers (likely from Rouen) and a supporting army.

Then defeated the Anglo-Saxon army, directed by Harold Godwinson from Wessex, and said:

    'This is now ours, and, so all Rents will be paid to us (me) as per the new Rent Book, called The Domesday Book.'

  'Oh, and assorted Taxes and Fines, too.'

Five hundred years' later, in 1545, a new set of rulers took over: The Usurers.

They 'convinced' the by-then decadent 'King' (Mafia boss, called Henry: the Eighth one to be so named: Ie 'King' Henry VIII) to legalise Usury for the first time in England.

 A little-known, or little-reported, and certainly-now, little-taught, but true, historical fact.

And, thus, five hundred years' or so, ago, Modern history started: the history of a new set of exactions for Rent, Interest, Profits and, yet more Taxes and Fines, called Capitalism.

Which, for the first time, was made legal.

So, here we are, Five hundred years' later.

When a new economic- and social-system need to be put in place.

Because the present one is busted.

Beyond repair.

Or 'Reset'.

More in Part II.

Regarding the new mutation of SARS-COV2

 Regarding the new mutation if SARS-COV2

Our friend, Leo Donnelly has been very helpful regarding my enquiry as to evidence on this.

His contribution is extremely valuable, and I  thank him for it.

He, extremely helpfully, cites the following, from which I quote:

From https://virological.org/t/preliminary-genomic-characterisation-of-an-emergent-sars-cov-2-lineage-in-the-uk-defined-by-a-novel-set-of-spike-mutations/563

From it, I quote, at a first scan, the following:

   'What evolutionary processes or selective pressures might have given rise to lineage B.1.1.7?
High rates of mutation accumulation over short time periods have been reported previously in studies of immunodeficient or immunosuppressed patients who are chronically infected with SARS-CoV-2 (Choi et al. 2020; Avanzato et al. 2020; Kemp et al. 2020). These infections exhibit detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA for 2-4 months or longer (although there are also reports of long infections in some immunocompetent individuals). The patients are treated with convalescent plasma (sometimes more than once) and usually also with the drug remdesivir. Virus genome sequencing of these infections reveals unusually large numbers of nucleotide changes and deletion mutations and often high ratios of non-synonymous to synonymous changes. Convalescent plasma is often given when patient viral loads are high, and Kemp et al. (2020) report that intra-patient virus genetic diversity increased after plasma treatment was given.

Under such circumstances, the evolutionary dynamics of and selective pressures upon the intra-patient virus population are expected to be very different to those experienced in typical infection. First, selection from natural immune responses in immune-deficient/suppressed patients will be weak or absent. Second, the selection arising from antibody therapy may be strong due to high antibody concentrations. Third, if antibody therapy is administered after many weeks of chronic infection, the virus population may be unusually large and genetically diverse at the time that antibody-mediated selective pressure is applied, creating suitable circumstances for the rapid fixation of multiple virus genetic changes through direct selection and genetic hitchhiking.

These considerations lead us to hypothesise that the unusual genetic divergence of lineage B.1.1.7 may have resulted, at least in part, from virus evolution with a chronically-infected individual. Although such infections are rare, and onward transmission from them presumably even rarer, they are not improbable given the ongoing large number of new infections.

Although we speculate here that chronic infection played a role in the origins of the B.1.1.7 variant, this remains a hypothesis and we cannot yet infer the precise nature of this event.'

At this first glance, this confirms the evidence collected in 'The Spirit Level' book (see www.equalitytrust.org.uk) that my/our strategy of creating resilience (through maintaining high levels of good health through the maintenance of high levels of income equality, using our plan for Co-operative Socialism) is the one that needs to be *with considerable urgency* pursued.

Thus my contention that we need to implement the living, loving plan for Co-operative Socialism 'By Tuesday!'

As outlined in the CCPA Reader on Co-operative Socialism: for which see YouTube videos and a recorded radio interview and, as a free PDF, in the papers' section at www.interestfreemoney.org

 PPS 

Yes: thus wickedness is *entirely* Political: aimed at the continuation of Capitalism/Zionism/Satanism and its Evil Offspring, The Nazi State of Israel.

So, the solution has to be Political: hence this astonishingly-timely opportunity to say so!

*And* highlight The Solution.

Our living, loving plan for Co-operative Socialism #truesocialism !

In the event of the ultra lockdown

 In the event if the expected Social Media clamp-down, I propose the following approaches.
First stay in touch with family and friends by text.
When the mobile phone networks are shut down, walk to London.

Travel by the sun's direction: it rises in the East (at present), is due south at mid-day and sets in the west.

Go to any of the three following areas of Central London: St Paul's in The City, Parliament Square, Westminster and St James' Square and Pall Mall generally.

These are the three power nodes of Capitalism in London.

Find others and, if approached by The Police, lie down in a curled-up fashion and neither engage or resist.

Support organisations for feeding etc might care to pre-organise using the Sunflower Co-operative model (which is as nonhierarchical as I could design and, having no central node cannot be co-opted by the Nazis/Zionists).

I hope this helps.

Give the love.

Grow The Peace.

John Courtneidge 😊

All in All, For All: Love

Capitalism is five mechanisms:

Theft
Rent
Interest
Profit
Unequal-pay for work

No more TRIPUp!

#truesocialism is Love:

Living Incomes for Everyone (LIFE)

One World, One Love

Victory over Fear

Everyones' Happiness is Everyone's Happiness

Hence our Living, Loving Plan for True Co-operative Socialism.

By Tuesday!

Not 'On' Tuesday',

But, By! Tuesday!

Covid the smoking gun

 more:

 Very many thanks!

Update 18th December 2020

 

Another FB friend has pointed to a BBC2 Programme on Covid that was aired last night and which is available this morning on i-player.

I shared that post onto 'my' FB page with the following comment.

In that comment is the search that leads to the 19th March downgrade for Covid-19.

That you might care to use.

So:

I can't watch this, sadly, since I won't but a TV Licence.

For those that have watched it, does it mention the downgrade of the Covid-19 illness that was announced on the gov dot UK website on 19th March?

If you Google the following that page is still available:

Covid-19 downgrade from Highly Contagious 19th March

The announcements on the same day (19th March and the following day, 20th March by the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and the announcement, without debate, of the 356-page Statutory Instrument, as an amendment, probably ultra vires, to the 1976 Public Health Act, on 23rd March *flatly ignored* that 19th March downgrade.

And led to people with pre-existing, co-morbidities, being *frightened to death* (as Denis Rancourt has conjectured).

So, the wickedness of the present Conservative Government in killing its own people deserves prosecution.

Status of COVID-19

As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.

 

 

Yesterday in Hyde Park a Reflection

 Yesterday in Hyde Park, a Reflection.

So, where were the Authoritatians and other Hobby Protestors yesterday?

Where were the Trades Unionists defending democracy?

The PLP, The Micky-Mouse and Minnie-Mouse Marxists and 'Radical' Feminists, The SWP/MI5, The SP, AWL ETC?

Class Traitors selling their Red Tops, their fellow Authoritarians, the EDL, BNP, Kippers, the NEC Members of The Zionist Shouty 'Labour' Party and Co-operative Party.

Where were The Churches and Quakers defending Freedom of Assembly?

Where were the Professors, Lecturers, School 'Teachers' and the rest of Capitalism's Praetorian Guard? Sat at home reading 'The Guardian of Capitalism', supping hot chocolate with their freshly-clicked croissants?

Fair Trade, from Waitrose, of course.

Where were the MPs?

Off away in their Second or Third homes, South of Kent?

Those great 'Defenders' of 'Democracy'.

But, of course, there were no platforms for them to show off their 'Credentials'.

Before going off to their hot chocolate and Stolen.

All Fair Trade, of course.

From Waitrose.

Or Aldi.

Such good prices!

Slumming it! Eh?

No, they will have seen the advert placed on 'Social' media on Friday evening (or did Sadiq Khan's Political Police only target me? Quite likely.).

And been 'scared' off.

Or given an easy out.

Where a fresh-faced Met 'Deputy Assistant Commissioner', not Cressida Dick herself, warned us *NOT*  to come to Hyde Park.

Because the Met, the TSG, Gold Command, Re Territorial s in Reserve, etc, would disperse the Freedom Marchers and True Defenders of Democracy, Free Speech, Freedom of Assembly and Peaceful Protest *before* they assembled, 'Because of COVID'.

But they wouldn't disperse the Christmas crowds in Leicester Square or The Haymarket, 'Because of COVID'.

No: the Defenders of Capitalism/Zionism/Fascism/Satanism and Paedophilia, Eugenics and Worse, would *NOT*  come out of Broadcasting House and ITV HQ, all a mere walk away from Hyde Park.

'BECAUSE OF COVID!'

And, so, *NOT*  record the bully cowards, Sadiq Khan's Political Police (Quislings for Fascism) *deliberately targeting* the weakest members present: the elderly women, the elderly men, the disabled, the single mothers, all those aware of the next step after mandatory masks:

Mandatory Sterilisation.

Shame on those Fellow Travellers for Capitalism.

An Open Letter to All Freedom Movements Worldwide

 An Open Letter to All my friends in The Freedom Movements, Worldwide

Please share and Give The Love

For the past twenty-five years, I've been part of all of the Freedom Movements here in the UK and in Canada.

Always as An Outsider, never as An Insider.

I don't know why.

Each time, the New Movement for Freedom has been undermined by a sinister effect.

Thus, we were always told to 'Not Be Political: After All, All Politicians are Corrupt'.

This co-option always seems to come from the same sources: the Supporters of Neoliberalism/Capitalism/Zionism and worse, along with their allies, the Wannabe New Bosses, the Marxists.

"Our only rôle", they said, "Is *only* to protest 'What is'."

Never to propose, 'What might be'.

Let alone, 'What must be'.

Now, we know that this present Covid-19 'circumstance' has, at the very least, been used for political purposes by those same Tyrannical 'Élites'.

For their benefits, alone.

At worse, they've been used, or even created, for astoundingly evil purposes: of Satanism, Eugenics, Paedophilia.

And worse: Cannibalism, perhaps, Genetically- modified Humans, mass sterilisation if our Child-bearing-age women and girls.

Who knows what The New World Order's end goal is? The 'Great Reset' is only a prelude.

So, I dissent.

Again!

I dissent from the Totalitarian Imposition that 'Your rôle is just to protest, crowd-fund, hold up 'our' Mass-produced placards, sing our mass-produced slogans ('We are the 99%', etc), sell 'their' MI5-Approved Red-top 'News'-oapers 'Of Resistance'.

No!

I won't stop saying that there *is* an alternative.

And that alternative will produce a free, sustainable, creative polity: of 'We, The People, Caring, Co-operatively, for All'.

Not *For The All*.

But *As part of The All*.

That alternative is the plan for Co-operative Socialism. Call it by whatever name you prefer (though the bosses would prefer that: Divide, by name, And Rule').

And, organisationally, consider using The Sunflower Co-operative Model (as in the papers' section at www.interestfreemoney.org) by setting up *local*, *not-federated*, Community Co-operatives, or Guilds of Co-operators: For Peace and The Common Good.

As it said above, please:

Please, share and Give The Love.

For all, the best, equally,

John Courtneidge 😊

 My range of activities is shown by the papers' section at www.interesttfreemoney.org and an archive of essays at www.sustainabilitynotcspitalism.blogspot.com videos and a radio interview on the plan for Co-operative Socialism are on YouTube: most easily found using the web search term, as punctuated "Co-operative Socialism"

I am a sixty-nine year old Grandfather and Quaker and have a PhD in Chemistry from University College London.

The intersection with sociocracy us to be found in my proposal for the repopulation if Second Chambers such as The House of Lords here in the UK and The Federal Senate in Ottawa: I am both a UK Subject by birth, a Canadian citizen by application and, in my heart an Acadian.

Then There Was Light

 First, there was Darkness and The Darkness comprehended it not.

Then, there was Light and The Darkness comprehended it not.

Then there was The Messenger, with The Message.

And The Darkness comprehended it not.

And attempted to kill The Messenger.

But it could not kill The Message.

Then the plan for #truesocialism emerged from The Messenger's Message From His Father.

Our Father.

And The Darkness still tried to kill The Messengers and their Message and plan.

The plan for true Co-operative Socialism.

Then The Light spread all over The World.

From The East.

Thanks be!

The Democratic and Co-operative Socialist Route

 The democratic and Co-operative socialist route is:

Adopt our objective as the replacement of Capitalism by a Co-operative Commonwealth, Nationally, and a Co-operatie Commonweal, Globally.

Adopt the plan for Co-operative Socialism.

Educate the electorate as to its features.

Become the Party of Government.

Implement the plan for Co-operative Socialism in the first two years of the first Parliamentary Term.

Annually, thereafter, Audit its Successes and Failures: with an Annual Festival of Celebration, in every locality.

First step: set up an autonomous 'X and District Guild of Co-operators: For Peace and The Common Good'.

Then debate adoption of the plan for Co-operative Socialism: as it presently is with, if felt necaessary, a 'Local Statement' that could form the basis for inclusion in a triennial review process.

Details of the present plan for Co-operative Socialism are at the top of, about, page 5 of the CCPA Reader on Co-operative Socialism, which is in the papers' section at www.interestfreemoney.org

Ps as Guilds grow, they might find the Sunflower Organisational Model, also on that papers' page, of use.

I hope so!

October 2020: Where We Are Now

 To summarise where we all are: all of the events are designed to ensure the continuation of Capitalism and its evil offspring, The Zionist Nazi Apartheid State of Israel.

If that involves the Mandatory Sterilisation and Extinction of Billions of Humans and the creation of a slave-force of Genetically Modified Humans, that's what the 2% (The Thieves called The Capitalists) will have their Praetorian Guard (the10%) do.

To us, the 88%.

Ps and, as all Degenerate Times teach us, that  slave-force of Genetically Modified Humans will include babies and children bred for Child-rape and Satanic Ritual purposes with Harems of Sex 'Workers' - of all Genders and none - for the use of the Praetorian Guard and The Élite Thieves.

The glitch in all this is that the board game if Monopoly teaches us that, in a competitive, money-using world, the 2% get shrunk to a 0.00001% and the money mechanism used to fund the Praetorian Guard (ie, taxation of us, the 88%) dries up.

So the 0.0001% have to ask for 'Volunteers' from within the, now, 88+% to be Covid Narks and Covid Marshals.

It is only by education, organisation, the proposition of Better, that we will avoid that Human Extinction option.

Hence the living, loving plan for #truesocialism : the plan for Co-operative Socialism.

You can help by setting up non-federated local Guilds of Co-operators for Peace and The Common Good.

Just as we have done for Littlehampton and District and for South-East London and North-West Kent.

Local organisation to implement the plan for Co-operative Socialism.

Co-operative Socialism: Foreword

History tells us that about every 500 years the human experiment has to take off in a new direction.

We are indeed about 100 years delayed in that process of, 'Change towards wellness.'

One hundred years ago, the 'Politics of the Act', such as bomb throwing, assassination and so-on, showed how great the strains had become in the prior one-hundred-year period.

At that time, economic inequality had grown to such an extent that the question was not 'What shall we have for tea tonight?', but, rather, 'Will there be *anything* for tea tonight?'.

In the subsequent one-hundred years, things have become worse.

This book, then, describes how things can get better.

And quickly!

It describes a plan for economic equality and equity and, thus, for wellness.

For various reasons, this plan is called 'The Plan for Co-operative Socialism': it is designed to replace the five mechanisms that create inequality and, so, produce, by creating economic, socially-determined, equality and equity, 'Peace, prosperity and sustainability for all'.

The mechanism proposed to bring about this beneficial transition is that which the past one-hundred years has been shown to work: Parliamentary Democracy.

For those who doubt that such beneficial change can be brought about peacefully, nonviolently and without bullying, that recent history shows that, 'Progress to equality' is, indeed, possible.

Additionally those 'In charge' of this present catastrophe know that, 'The game is up!'

Time, then, for True Co-operative Socialism!

By Tuesday!

John courtneidge, Sunday 4th January 2018.

Co-coperative Socialism and Incomes

 Co-operative Socialism and Incomes

Our friend Lucy Bee asks about this.

I offered:

Lucy: the plan for Co-operative Socialism calls for a socially-determined level of income in/equality.

Accordingly, the Secon Chamber would make a pair of Annual Recommendations to the Elected First Chamber as to:

A) the £-amount of the guaranteed Living Income payment that should be made to every person normally-resident in that Country's jurisdiction, and,

B) the maximum amount in £-per-hour that should be paid to people who do paid work: it would be a matter, then, for each workplace to determine, as they see fit, the distribution of paid-work pay levels in their own workplace, based on that Socially-determined pay-for-work upper limit.

I hope this helps.

Where The Blockage to Progress lies

 I have been led to consider where the blockage to progress lies.

When I lived in The London Borough of Bromley, it was noticeable how many retired Trade Union General Secretaries were living very comfortable lives there, alternating their days resisting even a discussion on our plan for Co-operative Socialism . . . and playing golf.

Those life styles rely on comfortable, for them, not their retired members (less still us, the long-term unemployed and, thus, ex-members).

Those fat 'Occupational' Pensioners don't have to scrape along using coffee and tea 'whiteners', as those of us who gave had the unusual grace to *survive* to State Pensionable age.

No! Cabernet and Sauvignon for them and their wives.

The same is true for the Co-operative Retail Societies.

Their Employee Pension Funds are 'invested' (or trapped as hostages) in the Capitalists' Stock Market.

And so, those 'Senior' employees, The Trades Union General Secretaries, Co-operative Society CEO's, along with Labour Party General Secretaries, Fabian Society General Secretaries, Co-operatives UK/Co-operative Union General Secretaries and CEOs are Quislings, by default, for Capitalism/Zionism.

That's where the blockage lies: those 'Leaders' Above-fair Occupation Pensions.

Funded by The Capitalists' Stock Market.

To our detriment.

Grr!

 

The True Progressive Path

 Since I wrote this, inequality has been increased.

As a result, the four extreme corners of the Four-Quadrant Personality Map have been more highly populated.

Consequently, the Four Extreme Pathologies (all initiated, I conjecture, by toxic surfeits of the four Quadrant-associated neuroactive imbalances) are dominating society.

Those Extreme Pathologies seem to be:

   Ultra-Orange Pathology: Libertarian Anarchism

   Ultra-Gold Pathology: Dogmatic Authoritarian Racist, Monarchist, Conservative Nationalist Nazism

   Ultra-Green Pathology: Dogmatic Authoritarian Know-it-all, Fake-Progressive Marxism

   Ultra-Blue Pathology: Off-with-the-fairies, Individualism

Upon reflection, therefore, the True Progressive path is a Horizontalist balance: of 'Freedom-within-Co-operative Society' ie, of the Order that creates good health and appropriate security, with, in equal measure,  the 'Freedom to be Contribute and be Creative, For The Common Good'.

Of course, that's what our living plan for true Co-operative Socialism is all about!

The Experience of Unemployment

My Facebook friend, John Osman, has kindly asked me to comment on my twenty-two years of unemployment: which started in 1994 when I came back from Canada and was ended when I was retired in 2016.

For the last few years, even the Job Centre admitted that there never would be paid work for me and decided to switch me from JSA to Pension Credit.

And, no, I was never deemed or assessed for Disability Benefit income.

Now, back in 1994 I assumed that, as everyone said, 'Something would turn up'.

It didn't.

And, as we know, 'Unemployment us a price worth paying.'

It is, therefore, *deliberately created, monitored and managed*.

So that the cost is borne by Worked Class people: not, as a result of Revolution, by our Oppressors and Exploiters, The Middle Class and The Capitalist Usurers respectively.

Indeed, it is astonishing that, a) the Experience of Unemployment, which is part of The Experience of Virtually *Every* Family, is so little discussed or researched in Academic Circles (how many Professors of Unemployment Studies are there world-wide: none have I found) and b) that the shame associated with unemployment is an automatic killer aspect for those who are *made* and *kept* unemployed.

So, despite my efforts to, for example, return to teaching Chemistry in schools, nothing did ever 'turn up'.

Yes, in those twenty-two years I had all sorts of short-term, often Part-time and Seasonal jobs: in a Print Factory, in an office, trying to sell newspaper subscriptions by phone, etc, etc: the most awful being, probably, in a bottle, etc return deposit depôt in British Columbia, where the returns to be sorted included addicts' needles and used nappies. Ughh!

At first, I imagined that I was 'Between jobs': not 'unemployed'.

Partly that was because The Job Centre (or as a friend-then named it, 'The Joke Centre': a cruel jibe about a cruel inhuman place, whose degraded, degrading task is, not to find applicants jobs, but, rather, to smash them into beggary, prostitutions and worse) wouldn't register me for any Unemployment Benefits since I had some savings from my years of paid work, including a Pension that I cashed in.

So, the odds and ends of paid work came and went (mostly the latter) and I returned, as was Margaret Hilda's plan, 'To the gutter' where we, The Worked Class and the Untermench Class belonged.

Literally: at the Print Factory, which was supposed to be a High-Security Print Works, where Examination Papers etc were printed (and it wasn't: the back shipping door and gate were always open) we were not allowed to stay inside at Lunchtime. So we were corralled out, past a notice-board, where someone famously put up a samisdat copy if the Company's Accounts showing that The Company made essentially no profits (because of the Interest that it 'had' to pay to its Owners of many Centuries' standing: sound familiar? National Debt etc . . .).

So, once outside, the others disbursed and I remained: sitting on the car-park kerb, to eat my sandwiches.

Just where the Managing Director parked his car: a choice spot.

So, as time, place and savings dribbled on, I realised that, yes, I was unemployed and, as such, despite these odds and ends of paid work, it was an insult to those more deeply suffering than me from the shame of unemployment that I would accept the term if self& description as 'Unemployed'.

Ashamed as I was of it.

Now, during those years, I looked for books that might describe and, even, explain the Causes Of, and Experience Of, Unemployment.

I've, realistically only found three.

Of those, one was self-published, one a discard from the Public Library in Eugene Oregon in the US  (thank-you www.bookfinder.com !) while the one photographed was in the stacks at our local, West Sussex Public Library (thank-you to our Littlehampton Free Public Library staff!): in which is the surprising discovery that the term 'unemploynent' was only coined in the late Nineteenth Century.

Prior to that, the term was, apparently, 'Distress from Want Of Employment'.

I bet that Worked-class people had less genteel terms.

But another *excellent* book, 'The Common People' by JFC Harrison, also photographed, doesn't say what

Income Classes: Who Gets How Much Income, and From Which Sources?

 Our friend, John Osman has propelled me along the question as to, 'Who are 'The Working Class'?

Readers might recall that, expanding beyond the 'We are the 99%' diversion, I prefer a 2%:10%:88% division:

  - The 2% being The Capitalists (who collect/take/steal Rent, Interest and Profits-as-Dividends on Shareholding)

  - The 10% as the capitalists' 'Praetorian Guard' (who are permitted by the 2% to Tax us, the 88%, in order to take/receive/steal higher-than-fair Paid-work Incomes and Perks and, ditto, Pensions.

  - And us, The Worked 88%.

I've tried to visually show this division and to separate out the Incomes by proportion according to whether those incomes come from the 'ownership' of capital (ie of the Economic Resources of Land, Money and Shares), and from Paid-work Incomes and also Income from 'The Common Purse' (ie the proceeds of Taxation).

The first of the photographs shown is the final attempt for today, the other two being preliminaries.

I hope they help.

Three ps's:

1) As a working defiition, I consider that 'The Middle Classes', who form The Praetorian Guard, derive at least some part of their income from the 'ownership' of Capital Resources,

2) The 88% are usefully divided into those who have paid work and those that do not: the latter comprising those who are unemployed through either being pensioners, those unable to work through disability and those who are unemployed through there being a lack of paid-work positions. The trolls will add 'and those who choose not to work': a class(ification) that, apart from its applucation to the Capitalists, I *entirely reject* as poor bashing: which I *will not tolerate*: poverty is deliberately created by and for those who are supporters of capitalism

3) I found it helpful to subdivide each of these Income Classes yet further into thirds, as shown.

The objective of The Co-operative Movement

*IF* a new socialist Party is needed, I suggest that the rôle of the Trades Unions is key.

Ps, that True Labour Movement has to be *genuinely* democratic:

     With the replacement of capitalism as its objective,

     And the replacement being National and Local Co-operative Commonwealths,

     And a Global Co-operative Commonweal its outcome.

All operating according to the Co-operative Values and Principles:

     As in The Statement on The Co-operative Identity, as freshed periidically by The International Co-operative Alliance.

That's what the living plan for Co-operative Socialism is designed to do.

See the papers' section at www.interestfreemoney.org

I hope that this helps.

The Present Threat

 I understand that the new General Secretary of The Labour Party is encouraging all present Labour Party members to join The Co-operative Party.

As a now-expelled Labour Party member and, although under-threat of expulsion, but still a Co-operative Party member, I encourage all true Co-operative Socialists to join The Co-operative Party.

That said, a darker possibility should be considered.

There might be a conspiracy afoot to insinuate the new, pro-Israeli New Labour membership of The Labour Party into The Co-operative Party, and, so, form a new cadre of Zionists and, thus, pro-Capitalists, into The Co-operative Party.

All of which would be at variance to the Co-operative Movement's objective.

Which is, like the true objective of The Labour Party,  'the establishment of a Co-operative Commonwealth' (as per Clement Attlee and The Labour Party prior to WWII).

However, since both Parties have adopted the pro-Zionist, fake definition of Anti-Semitism conspired by the equally-fake 'International Holocaust (singular) Remembrance Alliance (of who, for what purpose, funded by who?)' it is the sad case that both Parties are now Zionist/Capitalist Parties.

Both Parties, then, in that sad circumstance, are heading into the dustbin of history: along with all the other #fakesocialist entities, such as every (bitter) flavour of Marxism and Social-not Democracy-not that one might spit out.

As poison.

The Solution:

Local, *autonomous* 'Labour, Trade Union and Co-operative Socialist Policy Alternatives and Political Education Groups'.

Which won't happen, because the Zionist/Capitalist/Marxist/MI5 Machine will infiltrate each one.

That, then, of course, will be the death knell of world-wide peace (which circumstance *requires* the replacement of Capitalism and the concurrent replacement of The Zionist State of Israel: and the reversion, in that geographic area, to a secular Palestine, upon the 1917 boundaries, as a Co-operative Commonwealth).

Events will tell . . .

masks

At last, I think that I've understood.

The masks thing.

They are Conservative Party - and Conservative Movement - Propaganda.

The mask is a symbol.

Of fear.

Another Expulsion in Prospect

Another expulsion in prospect.  Friends will know that I and twenty four others were expelled from The Labour Party on 10 February of this year.  I informed The Co-operative Party of this fact immediately thereafter.  The Co-operative Party sub-committee charged with review has recommended that I also be expelled from The Co-operative Party: again in a #fakechargeofantisemitism.  Ie using the #fakedefinitionofantisemitism concocted by the #fakedefenders, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.  Whose #fakedefinitionofantisemitism insists that any criticism of Zionism and its #eviloffspring, #TheFascistNaziApartheitStateOfIsrael constitutes Anti-Semitism.  Which, of course, is fallacious: #TheFascustNaziApartheitStateOfIsrael is a *Political* entity, with no basis in, as I understand it, all Jewish Theology.  I have been offered, and have accepted, an appeal hearing in respect of this proposed expulsion from The Co-operative Party (which is more than the new rules that The Labour Party 'adopted' at its 2019 Annual Conference in Brighton: where I was present, but only helping to man the joint stall of Labour Action for Peace and Uniting for Peace and Justice).  I asked for paper copies of the relevant communications from The Co-operative Party and a face-to-face Appeal.  The latter had been denied, I have yet to receive the former (unsurprisingly given the present conditions under which our Co-operative Party workers are operating).  I well expect that the Zionist networks, including our friends Simon Hill and John Osman will immediately respond. Perhaps they will tell us if they were already aware of this matter.  Sad times.  But hopeful!  In and for true co-operation,  John Courtneidge Dr 😊

Our friend, Martyn Lowe  wrote:

  'Actuallly there is a need to cut down birth rates from an ecological perspective.     Taking a vacine is part of being socialy responsible,  which in turn makes for  a good anarchist way of life, '

I reply:

   No!

The problem is *not* overpopulation, it's overproduction of pollution by over-consumption of energy and raw materials.

The evidence for that are Figures 1.1 and 1.2 in 'The Spirit Level', where the zone of 'Enough' is shown: the zone of Contraction and Convergence that Aubrey Meyer spoke of and which our Friend Gianne Boughton has entitled her book.

And which will be achieved once #truesocialism, true Co-operative Socialism, replacss capitalism.

Review: 'The Makers if English History' Norman Stone, General Editor

The biographies that the author chose are of people that have made our lives a misery and, even then, omit (as us usual) key matters.

The usual red flag for me is the biography of Henry VIII: the usual catalogue of his marriage events.

As always, historians such as this exclude the key event of his life: his legalisation of Usury in 1545: the first time that Usury in England was legally-allowed and which, in my preferred-definition of the term, that Capitalism was made legal.

With all the consequential catastrophes that have ensued.

In short: this is a politically-motivated hagiography of the worst sort.

I'm glad to have bought it, in order to be able to say so.

Review: Lawrence Stone, ' The Causes of The Englush Revolution, 1529-1642''

This could be an account of today's circumstances

Many times reprinted.

Highly recommended.

One additional point: Henry VIII's Legalisation of Usury ('In Restraint of Usury' 1545, see Sir Harry Page's book of that title) made legal the lending of money in England *for the first time*.

My speculation is that this led to a speculative-perhaps, driven market in land: something that would have increased the amount of economic- and, thus, social- and religious-distress in the subsequent Century.

I wonder, therefore, if that was a factor, even a key, central factor, in the precipitation of the First English Revolution of which Lawrence Stone writes.

The Killer Stats

The killer stats.

According to a recent video by Vernon Coleman (on YouTube and archived at www.vernoncoleman.com), we now have proof that a) capitalism kills us, all, prematurely, (which we already know from the data given in 'The Spirit Level' book and via www.equalitytrust.org.uk), and, b) that the present virus doing the rounds (Covid 19, SARS2, what-ever its present name or mutation is) is *less* deadly than going to work  (aka going to *be* worked) was, last year in the US and UK.

Thus, it seems, the *aggregate* death rates, week-on-week, in *both* the US and UK, are *less*, week-on-week, for 2020 as compared to 2019.

When 'the working week' recommences, I'll endeavour to give links to the statistics.

For now, I rely on Vernon Coleman's observation.

Unless you can confirm or otherwise.

Good or Evil

The night before last, it occured to me that the contest is between me and Dominic Cummings.

As a prelude, I don't fight. I practice the Theory of Noncontested Spaces. So if the Zionist/Capitalists want to fight, I'll walk away.

Now, the cipher, here, for Dominic Cummings has been our friend Simon Hill, for whom I'll create the tag #sillysimon. I forebear to tag him as #idiotsimon, just about, since I pray that he will learn that being a 'leftist' (albeit one that voted Lib-Dem at the last, December 2019, General Election) *and* supporting the Zionist/Capitalist/Nazi/Evil is inconsistent.

Time will tell.

In the case of Dominic Cummings, poor man and family, I have to use the tag #evildominic, with great sadness, as a means of linking posts together.

Like #sillysimon, we can reasonably expect that #evildominic is a supporter of the Zionist/Capitalist/Nazi/Evil.

Unlike #sillysimon, who has only supported the former Coalition Partners, the Lib-Dems, of the Conservative/Capitalist/Zionist/Nazi/Evil, #evildominic is a full-blown participant in the murder of hundreds and thousands of entirely innocent people: mostly low-income, poor and disabled, often elderly imprisoned people, through his work for Austerity/Capitalism/etc.

And its #evilsibling, this pandemic/plandemic/flu/virus event.

Now, for a moment, let's ignore the Face-gang in front of #evildominic, Boris Johnson, Priti Patel et al, and wonder about who is funding and supporting this Conservative/Capitalist/Zionist/Nazi/Evil attack on the population of this Country?

Of which the mandatory face mask diktat is but a prelude of worse (mandatory injections, mandatory sterilisations, mandatory voluntary euthanesia, and, even more evil impositions).

Clearly the Capitalists and their supporters in this Country, from The Monarchy, The Aristocracy, The Establishment, Its Praetorian Guard networks, likely many/some/a few/perhaps in The City of London, but certainly all members of the Capitalist Employers' Round Table at Chatham House, The Royal Institute for International Affairs and its World Economic Forum networks, the Bilderbergers, The Trilateral Commission, The Council on Foreign Relations in New York and its equivalents in Canada, China perhaps, Russia perhaps, The Gulf States, India and Australasia, Saudi Arabia, and, of course, The Zionist/Capitalust Apartheit State of Israel.

But what about the people of the British Isles, your neighbours and families, your 'communities', Trades Unions, Co-operatives, Churches and local Councils?

Who do they support?

Zionism/Capitalism/Nazism/Fascism/Apartheit/Racism/Evil?

Or #truesocialism?

Ie True Co-operative Socialism #cohyphenoperativesocialism.

Support for Zionism/Capitalism/Evil can be active (like bullying at the Supermarket) or passive (Passing By On The Other Side).

Support for True Co-operative Socialism, however, can only be active.

Since, as remarked by others,

     'For Evil to triumph, all that need happen is for good people (the good in all people, that is, even in #sillysimon and, presently, #evildominic) do nothing.'

Yes?

My Dad's Murder (The Murder of .my Dad, that is)

My Dad, I consider, was murdered by Capitalism.

He succumbed to his third heart attack in September 1978, two weeks after I started my PhD in Chemistry at my beloved UCL.

He was fifty-six years old, or so I thought.

That had two consequences. First, because my Mum, who is still alive, at the age of ninety-four has had to endure forty-two years' widowhood on a reduced State Pension: because Dad 'died' early, he didn't have a full National Insurance record, so his wife, my Mum, had the double whammy of an early widowhood and a Reduced State Pension.

The same is true of one of her sisters, my Godmother, who, all being well will be one-hundred years' old this year.

So much, then for the 'Mixed Economy' and its 'Welfare State': the former a Tory idea, the second a Liberal plot.

Both foisted on The Labour Government of 1945-51.

The second, or at least, a second consequence of the murder of my Dad by Capitalism, was that his son, this son, spent *his* fifty-sixth year quietly, and irrationally, wondering if his fifty-sixth year would, also, be his last: my last.

It was not to be.

Firstly, I'm now sixty-nine, dreading the appearance, each morning, of each day.

Secondly, it turned out that my Dad didn't die at fifty-six years'of age.

He died at the age, my Mum told me later, of fifty-seven.

So much for my year of silent worry.

Which brings me to this mask thing.

Capitalism has gradually ratcheted-up the Iron Heel on our necks.

Now, The Party of Freedom (as if!), the Neoliberal Tories have reverted to their True Selves: the Nazi Party of NeoConservative Authoritarianism.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking: it lobbied for escape from The Iron Heel of The European Imposition, with which I agree, only to replace the tantalising prospect that I will be fined One-hundred Pounds Sterling (not Euros) if I go into a shop not wearing a mask (incidentally, I haven't got a mask, nor do I want one: my Quaker Testimony to Integrity in-forms me, that to wear one would be wrong).

So where next with thus agenda of Nazi NeoConservative Authoritarianism?

The Rack?

The Inquisition?

Movement Sensors as well as 'Smart Meters' in every home? The former was threatened to us at Coleridge House 'For Our Safety', the latter already exists in 'my' Housing .Associatiin flat here in Littlehampton, monitoring my every switch-on and switch-off.

If we were 'self-responsible' to adhere to the (anti-)social distancing during the height of the lock-in, why not now?

Oh yes, I get it: anti-socialism.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The Continuatiin Of Zionism/Capitalism/Nazi/Iron Heel Tyranny: Authoriatarian NeoConservatism.

Is that what my Dad's war-time service in the RAF To Defeat Nazism/Fascism was all about?

I doubt ir.

Creating Peace

A note on Misanthropy.

The data referenced in 'The Spirit Level' tells us that, as income inequality increases, so also does unhappiness increase.

At the same time, as income inequality increases, misanthrooy increases: misanthropy being the hatred of, distain for, fear of other people, regardless of gender (the two related words are, I think misogeny and misandry: hatred of all gendered women and hatred of all gendered men).

These are firms, I suggest, of psychological displacement: the unhappiness that income inequality creates (at a neurological, neurochemical basis, I also suggest) 'concretises' (turns from abstract feels and emotions, to practical, concrete objects and objectification) these neurochemical developments.

I recall, for example, a million kr so years ago, when I had a Summer-time job in a bottling line at Schweppes in Footscray, reaslising that I 'hated' the women workers opposite me: my hatred for the repetitive job, wrongly-projected onto them.

Likewise our responses to the lock-down and the lock-down on George Floyd's neck: taking the knee, as it were.

The solution, of course, is income equality, socially-determined.

As in the plan for Co-operative Socialism.

But you know that already . . .

Fourth First Day, June 2020

The Big Picture

A note to our friend, and beloved Friend, Mededith.

Our fridnd Simon Hill lives, as I understand it, in Brighton, West Sussex. Know colloquially as London-By-The-Sea.

The Brighton fascists (the Zionists) have a history of targetting our Friends (Quakers) Meeting House, there, as part of their anti-Democratic Nazism (you will recall that the Nazis burnt down the Brlin Reichstag for the same purpose and that our (their) Canadian NeoConservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper achieved the same anti-demicratic end by Proroguing Parliament in Ottawa.

His NeoCon Zionist colleague, Alexander dePfeffile Boris Johnson used the same stunt here in the UK.

Particularly since the UK Working Class voted Brexit, in order to get us out of the anti-democratic, Zionist EU.

He had no option.

His $-backers would have demanded so.

Now, the Zionist Nazis cannot attack Friends House in London (for fear, at present, of upsetting their North Lindon Liberal-not Élite, so they repeatedly attack Brighton Meeting House. (The same force is at play in regard to our Meeting Houses in Toronto and Ottawa: such an attack, the Nazi Zionists kniw, would provoke a hornets'-nest of well-odganised pacifists and Christians.)

The late-notice 'unavailability' due to 'a threat of public disorder' was used, most-recently, by targetting our Brighton Meeting House, last summer, when booked to allow my fellow democratic socialist comrade, Chris Williamson, a public platform.

Now, as to the Christian aspect to this.

Jesus was inordinately brave: knowing full well that Simon Hill's forebears in Jeruusalem had plotted to have him murdered by (attempted) crucifixion.

Their plot failed.

Likewuse, Simon's Nazi Zionist friends, Sibohan McDonagh, Peter Mandleson, etc, tried to politically-assassinate our friend and fellow democratic socialist, Jeremy Corbyn.

They failed, too.

Now little me.

Ditto.

(Odd that the three of us have JC initials. Pure alphabetical coincidence.)

Now, the Teachings and Parables of Jesus call us, as Quakers and Christians to act for love in the world*.

* I ran a workshop at CYM in er, um south of Ottawa by collectively and sequentially, reading three Parables:

The Parable of The Talents (Matthew)

The Parable of The Goid Samaritan

The Parable of The Minas (Luke)

All helpful.

Poor #sillysimon

Regarding Usury, Zionism and That Virus

Hurrah!

And thank-you, Simon Hill, for your offer to help!

Clearly my hope and prayers that you would turn from being a vexation, #obsessed, whingeing Zionist, into a helpful friend, have bourne fruit.

Hurrah!

So, in your rôle as an ardent Zionist and, presumably, equalky-ardent and practicing Religious Jew, you can help us all over the following matter.

You will be aware of the 'Deuteronomic Double Standard' in that an Observant Religious Jew may practice Usury (in other words, use money to get and accumulate money, through the charging of interest: any level of interest, however openly or sureptitiously disguised, Chevienses, etc).

But only against 'The Foreigner': like us, the non-Jew, The Goyim, us, The Goys. Isn't that your observant Jews' name for us, the underclass, the mensch?

But not against your fellow Jews, to whom, and this is my question that I hope you can answer for us, as below, that 'All Manner of Usury' is forbidden.

I've added photograhs of some books that, I'm sure, you must have already read.

So, isn't that the Double Standard that the earlier Rabbis, The Pharisees and Sadducees in your midst, declared as Holy.

Presumably at the encouragement of The Usurers who were, then as now, paying them to say so.

And the leaders of your leading families, the Mothers and Grandmothers, requested be done.

So, my contemporary question:

We know, from the Book of Nehimiah, that that that slippery character, The Devil, selfishness, wheedles away inside each Usurer and that the Usurers of Jerusalem, in Nehimiah's time, and doubtless also in Daniel's time, started to practice Usury Against Their Fellow Jews.

Is that what's going on now?

Are Observant Usurers lending money to their Fellow Observant Jews, interest-free?

So that those borrowers have a #CommercialAdvantage over their Goy Competitors?

Or are The Usurers being #ParasiticalUsurers upon their Fellow Jews as well as us, The #Untermensch?

Is that what led to the various expulsions of 'The Jews' in various places, at various times, and which finally-culminated in the inclusion of 'The Jews' into the Nazi Death Camps.

After the Socialists, Communists, Trade Unionists had been dealt with, but before the Homosexuals, Gypsies, Roma, and the 'Mentally Defective', 'Useless Eaters'* had been 'dealt with'.

*(From Wiktonary: Calque of German 'unnütze Esser:

  useless eater (plural useless eaters)

  (politics) In the ideology of Nazi Germany, a person with a serious medical problem or disability, seen as requiring help from society but giving nothing back.')

So, that brings me our current times.

Is it Usury that is at the root of the present #HolocaustOfThePoorAndFrail ?

I understand that the present global plandemic was the result of the January 2019 US Congress Bill, itself, initiated by the Rickerfeller Foundations' 2010 'Scenarios' Document, that #TheEugenisists wanted all along?

Now, as best we know it (and here again, your research could help) the US Rockerfeller owners of their banking (ususry) empire are not from within the global Jewish Community.

But they are, doubtless, Zionists.

So, there we have it.

We know that very few people self-describing as Jews are Zionists and, indeed a similarly-few are #ZionistUsurers.

Indeed, most #ZionistUsurers are not self-describing Jews: Tony Blair and Hillary Clinton seem to not be, while Peter Mandelson, and his mortgage-provider Geoffrey Robinson, and his political funder Lord Levy, doubtless are.

Donald Trump may not be.

So, again Simon Hill, thank-you for being such a #HelpfulFriend !

Oh, those books, attached.

Fake Zionism, Capitalism and 'Racism'

The PBS Blair videos, below are part of Perception Management (ie as in Adam Curtis' documentaries 'Hypernormalisation', available on YouTube).

I suggest that the perception that Physical-Space Zionism (Fake Zionism) is justified is the, initial, objective.

And, thus, first, that the continuation of The Zionist State of Israel is desirable, and, second, that the continuation of capitalism is desirable, *is the underlying objective*.

In other words, the population of *all* the people self-describing as Jews *are being used* by the Capitalists, via this Fake Zionism, in order to bolster the continuation of capitalism.

That's the true objective.

The question, then, is why the Fake Zionism (that led to the imposition of The State of Israel upon a pre-existing jurisdiction, Palestine: let's call that 'The Zionist Invasion of Palestine') occured (was occured) in the first place?

Was it to create a Fake Zionist Tax Haven for Capitalist Deposits?

For which I have no evidence.

But there must have been a reason why a Fake Zionist State was envisaged.

The Socialist/Communist/Marxist Bund opposed its creation.

That must be a clue.

Killing kids

Today, 1st June in the UK, is, as I understand it, a Bank Holiday.

In theory, or, rather, by Diktat, the Havarta Agreement Nazi/Zionist UK Government is putting all of our Worked- and Lower Middle-Class children in harm's way, by forcing them back into school.

Tomorrow.

Where are their mothers, aunts and grandmothers?

The Private and Public Schools are to remain, as I understand it, closed as the Web of Deceit weaves its noose tigher on our Worked Class families, weakened already by forty-one years, since 1979, of Conservative Capitalist Austerity and Profitisation ('Privatisation'/Piratisation).

Our children, grandchikdren, nieces and nephews are being used, by the usurers, as guinea pigs to the Eugenisists' toxins of a 'deadly' virus;  backed-up by the shadow of the covertly, now-installed 5G monitoring network, and, immune-system-weakened, by ten or more weeks of imposed 'self'-isolation/enforced solitary-confinement.

Presumably the Nazi/Zionist eugensists in both Conservative and New Labour Parties believe their own conspiracy: or why else would they have closed down our Parliament after only (for men) a Century of the full franchise . . .

And, for women, not even a full Century of full-franchise democracy . . .

Although given the capture of Our True Labour Party by Zionists such as Sibohan McDonagh, Stella Creasy and Margaret Hodge, womens' democracy is a fiction rather than reality.

So, tomorrow at the School Gates, as our children and grandchildren are locked-in, from lock-down, against the depredations of paedophiles (or are they?) behind Prison Fences, as experimental vectors for the toxins described, family fear will be hightened . . .

'Will our kids bring home, asympomatically, the deadly virus?'

'Is the Singlet Oxygen toxicity of the Microwave-generated 5G threat going to make them even more ill?'

While their Class Oppression age-cohort 'equals' in the 'élite' prep-schools (including the prep 'Universities' of Oxford and Cambridge) remain, as I understand it, closed until 2021 to 'protect' the 'élite' Dons.

But, more importantly, to protect the 'élite' gene-pool of the 'élite' Aryan/Norman-Empire/Zionist/Nazi, child-bearing age, Public School Boys and Girls?

Rhetorical overkill?

Or not.

Come on you Zionist/Nazi/Eugenisist trolls.

Come on you mothers, aunts and grandmothers.

Which side are you on?

For all,

The best,

In and for peace,

Through true socialism,

True Democratic and Co-operative Socialism,

Quaker Grandad John.

Then and Now

Then and now.

The trajectory of the Margaret Thatcher-led Conservative, neoliberal capitalist UK Government of 1979 onwards was to reverse time.

To take us, force us, back to Victorian Values: unemployment, insecurity, poverty, illness, destitution, early death.

This was achieved. Largely without demur.

Without saying so, the Johnson-led (perhaps) UK Government of present days has forced us back to before the 'English Civil War' (strictly, 'An Englich Civil War') of the 1650's.

Boris Johnson, as King Charles The First has abolished all 'freedoms' (permissions) of association.

We may neither meet in 'Conventicles' for political purposes, including Conventicles for Religious Purposes.

The Freedom of Association for Religious Worship, 'won' then, has been abolished.

Quaker Meetings for Worship, by Zoom, or Church on The Screen (long a medium for Conservative, Capitalist, 'Christian' Zionists in the US) don't cut it. They are bowing the knee to Mammon, no more, no less.

Now, in between those two Centuries, the European Immigrant population in, what is now, The United States of America, started a series of Wars of Independence from the, apparent, oppression of Taxation Without Representation. Only to replace one form of Slavery, The Colonial and Slave-owning form of Capitalism, with the Wage Slavery of Materialism, Manipulation and Financialisation of Contemporarary Capitalism.

Now, in the US, a New War of Independence, ostensibly, is being fought.

It will deepen the Nazi US State, nothing more.

Unless.

And the 'Unless' depends on whether the UK Populations, now divided and ruked as Devolved Capitalist Parliaments, will allow their children to be used, in adavance of the children of the Capitalists and their 'Senior' Praetorian Guard families, to test the theory that children and their families can survive 'Social' Mixing.

My Marxist friends would call this 'The Class War'; though so many of them are Fake Communists, with children (not!)  in the still-closed Private and Public Schools, the fake Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, apparently, included (their 'Research' Laboratories included also,
I wonder).

When my fellow Quakers decide to voluntarily open our Meeting Houses to Meetings for Worship, and await, in Worship, the arrival of Oliver Cromwell's Police to eject us into the street (as happened at the Horselydown Meeting House in Southwark, beyond the City Walls, the tide may, perhaps turn.

Usury in England had been legalised, for the first time,  a hundred years' before, by the Eighth King called Henry, to the resultant tensions that resulted in that 'English Civil War' of the 1650s.

One of Cromwell's other acts was to allow Jewish families to live openly in England after the expulsion of three hundred years' before, for reasons that I don't know.

Where, then is The Board of Jewish Rabbinical Deputies, demanding freedom of Worship, also?

Oh yes, Boris Alexander de Pfeffile and Kier Starmer/Blair/Mandleson's financial puppet masters.

Ah, I get it.

The Star Chamber next . . . Enforced Vaccinations, 5G surveillance, 'voluntary'euthenasia.

Or not?

True Socialism

True Socialism.

Is a peaceful replacement for capitalism.

Thus: No Rent, No Interest, No Profits to Shareholders as Dividends.

As a result, Work as Contribution: Consensual and Co-operative, Not Coerced and Compulsory.

Workplaces as Appropriate Co-operatives, even where people work independently, co-operatively, For The Common Good.

Incomes a mix of Community-Provided, Free-at-the-point-of-use, a Community-provided, guaranteed, Living Income for Everyone, at a socially-determined level and Paid Work income up to a maximum, socially-determined level for those that wish a Paid-work income in addition.

A global, Co-operative, Not-for-profit Fair Trade network, with Grants-not-loans as needed.

Co-operative Careship of economic resources, rather than Ownership and Exploitation: a global Co-operative Commonweal, composed of local and National Co-operative Commonwealths.

For The Global and local, sustainable and peaceful, Common Good!

The Next Phase

It Is Time to Start Planning for the next Phase.

The next Phase of this Counter-democracy Revolution is to take down all Social Media interactions.

Indeed, the signal that this is already underway is the number of us who are being targetted by anonymous supporters of Capitalism/Zionism/Fascism/Nazism/Apartheit.

As a result we need to think about how to respond when the lock-down increases through the increase of fear, and the resultant imposition of a Police State and Martial Law.

Thus I offer two possibilities:

A) Start to organise locally. Gather names, addresses, mobile numbers, perhaps emails.

B) Plan an event that can respect the 'Anti-social Distancing' imposition. The regularly timed NHS clapping has worked. Hence the push-back.

C) Demand that your Churches lead by pressing for, or even self-organising out-door, vocal and silent Worship events.

D) Art is the key: Propositional, Ridiculing, which-ever.

E) Samisdat: many of us have home-based printers.

F) There must be history on this and far more clever, creative ways than I've sketched here.

G) Remember that individual action is far weaker, and more easily squashed, than collective action. But, that, collective action is always co-opted. Be fleet of foot, dismantle structures regularly, be patient, impatient and, in a measured, energy-conserving way, be persistent.

H) Rember the objective and embed it in action: to create a non-hierarchical, sustainable society of contribution based on true Co-operative Values, Principles, Outcomes and Celebration.

I) This will be a long haul. The first step is to neutralise the terrorisation by the Police Force. How, I've no idea. The aim is for the supporters of Capitalism/Zionism/Fascism/Nazism/Apartheit to respond by replacing the Police with The Army on the Streets.

To which we will be goaded by Agents Provocateurs into attacking with violence, so that supporters of Capitalism/Zionism/Fascism/Nazism/Apartheit will have won.

The Churches must respond.

We will know them by their actions.

I Despair

I despair that our work for twenty-six years has had no popular impact.

The epidemiology (see 'The Spirit Level' book, and a host of sequels, and the website www.equalitytrust.org.uk confirm, unambiguously, that mortality and morbidity - death and illness - are increased by the stress caused by economic inequality, specifically income inequality.

People in more equal societies are healthier, live longer, more fulfilled lives, are more peaceful, more ecologically resposnsible, and are more happy.

People living in more unequal societies, be they Countries or States within Countries, are less healthy, die younger, etc.

In short: stress weakens auto-immune systems in people, and in societies and ecosystems.

The solution, therefore, is to create more or greater income-equal societies, Nationally and Globally.

That's what the living plan for democratic and Co-operative Socialism is all about.

Sadly, hardly anyone is listening.

Solution Not Problem

The problem that we have is that the problem has caused a problem.

And then the problem is deemed to be the solution, which is a problem.

Because the problem is not a solution: it is a problem.

So the solution is to find a solution to fix the problem.

Hence the solution:

   True,  Democratic and  Co-operative Socialism as the solution to the politics, economics (not) and ethos of selfishness (capitalism).

The problem is not solved by social distancing (isolation of the self).

But rather by social attraction for The Common Good:

     - Community provision, Free-at-the-point of use.

Thus, the solution is:

     -  Rent-, Interest- and Profits-to-shareholders- Free economics,

      - All workplaces, therefore, as appropriate Co-operatives, all contributing to The Common Good,

      - Community-provided, Free-at-the-point-of-use provision of as many human needs as possible, facilitated by a not-for-profit, interest-free money, banking and finance system,

      - Retaining money, only in the short-term as a mechanism for discetionary purchases, through the provision of 'Social pocket money', ie a guaranteed Living Income for Everyone, with paid-work income, if wished, up to a socially-determined maximum, as a top-over,

      - A National Co-operative Commonwealth of Co-operative Careship rather than Own-ership, all contributing *to*, not parasitic *upon*, a Global Co-operative Commonweal.

By Tuesday!

Corona Virus questions 12 May 2020

This is a new blogpost from the Science Museum in London

https://www.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/coronavirus-science-what-we-know-and-dont-know-about-the-virus/

The three queztions that I still cannot answer are:

1)  Has this virus been isolated? It ssems to go by various names, why, what are they? If it mutates, is it changing into something that has a new name? Has each different type/mutation been isolated? Does each mutation have a different name? If the virus mutates in one place, say in one person, does it automatically change/mutate in every other place/person at the dame time? Does the original mutation survive alongside the nrw mutation or does it disappear?

2) So, is a test to show the presence of, say, initial Mutation A of any use to *reliably* detect any new Mutants, Mutant B, C etc? And, anyway, how specific, and how reliable are those tests?

3) To what extent is the only strategy being offered, isolation, in more, or in less strict ways worsening the death rate, and suffering rate? We know, from the pre-existing epidemiological evidence that greater levels of stress, caused by greater levels of economic distress, specifically, greater levels of income inrquality, lead to greater levels of mortality and morbidity (ie premature death and elevated distress and illness, respectively).

So, are the elevated death rates in, say the UK and US, two of the most income-unequal Countries, scarecely societies, in the world, in this period, due to the *added stress* of enforced anti-social isolation than before?

4) Finally, the only alternative explanation for the, apparently, elevated levels of death during this period is placed at the installation and use of a new microwave technology called 5G. The map of introduction and use of this new technology must be well documented, as will be the map of deaths over this period. Is there any correlation between these two sets of data? And, if yes, which set of questions follow?

The Science Museum blog doesn't seem to be open to posting these questions.

And, even if it was, would any of them be heard above the political battle that is being fought.

Ah well,

John Courtneidge (Dr), PhD UCL Chemistry 1978-1981, Post-doc, briefly at Imperial College, longer at UCL, 1981-1986. Research Chemistry Participant and co-research leader employed by the Malaysian and, then, Canadian Governments, 1988-1994 (including, by intation, at the recommendation of an anonymous fellow Chemist, as a peer-reviewer of researcher-submitted manuscripts submitted for publication in Primary Journals of The Royal Society of Chemistry). All of which ended, then, when funding for fundamental Physical Organic Chemistry research was ended, world-wide.

Usury and The Virus

"Let's go and see our friend, he's feeling down."

"We can't . . ."

"Oh, I get it:

Divide, Depress, Rule, Rob."

"Yes, and kill: it's a genocide.

Capitalism is a genocide.

Not a racial genocide, but a Class Genocide."

"But they need us, the essential workers, to do the d-jobs that they won't do: the dirty, dangerous, dispiriting, degrading, down-right drudgery."

"Yes, but they can breed drone eunuchs to do that."

"No!"

"Yes, that's what the north European slave trade was all about, the Vikings, Jewish Bankers in Rouen, etc."

"No, it won"t happen!"

"And, you say 'Jewish Bankers in Rouen': that's Anti-Semitic!"

"It's historically factual."

"And the Bankers in the Jewish Communities are Anti-Semitic."

"How can that be? Surely self-hating Jews is not possible?"

"Well, first of all, being a Usurer, in other words a for-profit Banker, is a guaranteed route to becoming hated. And people's first instinct is to see all of the people in the Jewish Community as benefitting from the practice of Usury.

Especially, since The Bible has the Deuteronomic Double Standard: that Jews people are *forbidden* to practice Usury (Ie charging interest of any amount, not the corrupted definition of 'Excessive Interest') to the rest of their Jewish Community, but they *are* allowed to practice Usury towards all other Communities.

One rule for Us, one rule for Them.

That's why, in my experience, popular Anti-Semitism develops: people don't like being used for the profits of others.

They hate Landlords, they hate Usurers, they hate Bosses-for-Profit: they hate Capitalists, the 2%, generally.

And they hate the Capitalists' Praetorian Guard: the 10% who are allowed by the Capitalists to tax them (us, the 88%, The Worked Class), in order to finance the guaranteed, higher-than-average, higher-than-fair, paid-work incomes and retirement 'Pension', incomes: 'Reward for Service', more like.

It's that TRIP-Up thing: inequality created by Theft, Rent, Interest, Profits and Unequal-pay-for-work.

And we all know that inequality makes everyone sick: *everyone".

As in 'The Spirit Level' book and at www.equalitytrust.org.uk .

And, because *some Jews* are Usurers, *all Jews*, in popular culture, get painted with the same brush.

And, of course, people know that, if Usury 'against one's brother' is wrong, then Usury against one's neighbours can't be right.

That's why Usury creates Anti-Semitism.

And the present Virus panic."

"So the prevalence of Usury against other Populations engenders Anti-Semitism."

"Yes.

To say nothing of the hatred of Jewish Bankers of Rouen, and other North Sea and Baltic ports, from the victim Communities, in financing slavery from northern Europe to the Islamic Caliphates. Memories have histories.

And present-day consequences."

"Such as Israel?"

"Yes."

"Oh, OK."

"Hold on . . . "

". . . You haven't told me about the relationship between Usury/Capitalism/Israel/Zionism and this virus thing."

"Another day."

"OK, thanks."

Fake Socialism

Fake capitalism = 'Oh! How generous I am/we are!'

Fake socialism = 'I/we tell you what to do, when to do it, how often to do it.'
Nothing about, 'Why to do it.'

True Socialism

True Socialism = 'What can I give?'

True Capitalism = ' What can I/we get? And, how much? And, how quickly?'

I Will Remember

Capitalism will use anyone's blood for its own survival.

To say nothing of tomorrow's VE Day diversion.

All wars are instigated for profit.

We, the Worked Class, the 88%, are murdered (culled) for profit.

The 2% take the profits, then collect interest on the 'War Debts' while, all the time collecting Rents, every day, every minute, every second.

And less.

While the 2%'s Praetorian Guard are allowed to Tax us, in 'peace'-time as well as in war-time.

All the time.

To fund their higher-than-fair incomes, pensions and perks.

So, whose murder will you be remembering?

And whose, ongoing, victory.

Me?

Victor Adolphous John Courtneidge.

My dad.

Murdered at the age of fifty-seven.

By capitalism.

It, then, becomes personal.

Ps, he and my uncle, I'm fairly sure, were at Cable Street.

Will that be likewise remembered?

Hope so!

What It's All About

My anti-Zionist Jewish friends, rightly in my view, regard Physical-space Zionism as the heresy.

Not the other way around.

As to what this is really all about: follow the money.

Physical-space Zionism was, and is, a capitalist enterprise.

For just one example, Google the five word list:

Peter Mandelson Geoffrey Robinson Mortgage

And see who the authors of the first hit, a Guardian article are.

Finally: Capitalism/Physical-space Zionism/The Israeli State will, upon examination, be inextricably enmeshed with the funding of war and the consequential State War Debts (ie interest-bearing 'National Debts').

The two named individuals in the Balfour Declaration were both Physical-space Zionists.

One may have been an Observant Jew, the other might not have been, but that is of no matter: both were supporters and 'beneficiaries' of capitalism: Balfour and Rothschild.

Always: follow the money!

Btw, I am one if the twenty-five expelled for Our Labour Party on 11th February 2020: with no hearing, no appeal and no right of reapplication until 2025.

Not because of the alleged anti-semitic nature of the Facebook posts that my *anonymous* accuser/s offered as their 'evidence'.

But because I am a democratic and co-operative socialist.

Of fifty-six years' standing and work.

Oh, and I'm a Quaker and Christian, so that sealed it!

Incomes in a world of true, living, democratic and Co-operative Socialism

Incomes in a world of true, living, democratic and Co-operative Socialism

The income part of the plan for true, living Co-operative Socialism includes the following:

A) a guaranteed, community-provided, not-mean-tested 'Living Income for Everybody': a LIFE for all,

B) then, for those who do paid work, paid-work income up to a maximum level that will be determined, annually, by:

C) a repopulated Second Chamber (populated on a randomly-selected, one-place per Parliamentary Constituency, serving for three years, retiring by thirds) that will, annually, make a recommendation to the First, elected-as-now, Chamber as to i) the £/$/€/¥/₩/etc amount of the Living Income payment and ii) the paid-work maximum, all remembering that,

D) an increasing number of human needs will be community-provided, free-at-the-point-of-use, so that, eventually, money and its equivalents will disappear from use.

Now, finally, as to who gets the paid-work income and how much, the evidence is that, when a guaranteed-income scheme operates, people contribute more in paid work than before (see Evelyn Forget's emerging analysis of the 1960's MINCOM experiment in Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada). More-over, it will be the members of workplaces (all of which will be appropriate co-operatives) who determine how the paid-work income is distributed, up to that socially-determined paid-work maximum: not some external agency.

I hope that helps!

Very best wishes,

John

This is important

Regardless as to whether the release of the Vovid-29 virus was a deliberate Military act, by whom we leave to the historians, or an accidental release, ditto, or a natural evolution, ditto, the race is now on to define the 'new normal' afterwards.

For the Thieves - the Capitalists - and their Praetorian Guard, prominent among whom are the Zionist Rabbis and their supporters, the 'new normal' will be the Conservative form of Capitalism: the conjunction of Theft, Usury and a Monopoly of Violence.

Fascism and Nazism, in other words.

Forget the neoliberals and their defeated Ex-Praetorian Guard phalanxes.

As much as they might moan and whinge, their 'deregulated', anarcho-Capitalism has reached the end of the road.

Just as Keynes said it would: see his quote in the papers' section at www.interestfreemoney.org

Which brings us to the question of Usury.

The Land-Thieves hate the Bankers: hence the three-Century struggle between the Tories and The Whigs, which, up until now, The Whigs (The Liberals-not) have won.

This is because, by his Act of 1545, Henry VIII legalised Usury in England for the first time: despite the spin in that Act's name, 'In Restraint of Usury'. (Sir Harry Paige's small book of that title tells the story: from the perspective of the former Director if the Chartered Institute for Public Finances and Accounts and his prior- position as the Treasurer for the City of Manchester).

This released the up-until-then-illegal usurers in The City of London (who, due the expulsion of 'The Jews' two-hundred years' previously: who had operated under various Kings'/mafia-boss protection had operated according to the Rabbinical Double Standard as described as 'The Deuteronomic Double Standard') to evolve into 'The Silken Independents', then The Whigs, then The Liberals-not and, then the Thatcher/Fib/ SDP/ Blair/Mandleson/ Robinson/Levy/Hodge/McDonagh/McNichol neoliberals.

Their day is over: just as Keynes predicted.

So, the next phase will, either, be NeoConservative Fascism/Nazism/Zionism, or true Socialism.

That's why the Capitalists, using their shock troops, the Zionists, *had* to get rid of John and Jeremy.

And me, also.

The Capitalists know that we three hold the prospect of true democratic and Co-operative Socialism in our hands, ready for public examination and support.

So, over to you.

Please let your family, friends and communities know of the study materials in the Canadisn Centre for Policy Alternatives 'Reader on Co-operative Socialism', also in the papers'section at www.interestfreemoney.org

And, also perhaps, my very home-made videos and excellent radio interview (by my fellow Quaker Tony Gosling) all on YouTube.

Everyone's children, grandkids, nieces and nephews' lives depend on it.

That's what CV-19 us all about.

what its all about, Alfie

An open letter to The City of London, the People of London and my fellow co-operators, comrades, friends and the wider world.

Easter 2020

At the encouragement of my friend, Tony Gosling and other friends who have encouraged me to write this: in honour of many friends, not leazt our belovec Ed Finn.


So, finally, we come to the fifth of the five mechamisms that capitalism uses to trash the planet and immiserate all of us: the capitalists and their Praetorian Guard, also, despite their beliefs, otherwise.

I speak, therefore of the 'Up' part of the five-machanism TRIP-Up aide-mêmoire: Theft, Rent, Interest, Profits-to-shareholders and Up: Unequal Pay for work.

Now, the three 'Unearnt Incomes', o Rent, Interest and Profits-to-shareholdsrs, flow from naked, unashamed Theft of the God-given Economic Resources necessary for human life, the Theft of The Land, of The Law and the Theft of Knowledge, Data, Wisdom, Understaning generally.

But what is stolen to provide Unequal Pay for work?

Upon reflection, what seems to be stolen is 'Position'.

The uber-Thieves, the 2% of the population who steal, remorselessly, Rent, Interest and Profits-to-shareholders are the worlds uber-parasites, poor they, the Capitalist families.

They do no work to get trese three 'Unearnt Incomes', which accumulate through the Thievery of past generations of Theives.

Rather, they allow about 10% of families to 'protect' themselves and, they foolishly believe, their families, by setting up, in the old Roman Empire way, a 'Praetorian Guard'.

To pay that Guard, they do not shell out any of their accumulating Thievery, of Rent, Interest and Prifits-to-shareholders: their business is not giving money away.

Rather, capitalism is the process - the grand Thievery, the Grand Larceny - of using money to get and accumulate more money.

And, thus, they imagine, poor fools they, of power . . . and security . . .

Just as the early fools, the Feudal Lords, Emperors, Kings, Queens and Other Mafia Rulers, used land, to accumulate, they thought, more land, via horses, oats and grass, lancers and fighters, generally.

Poor fools they.

So, nowadays, the 2% allow the 10% to tax us to provide the greater-than-average, Unequal Pay for Work, and Pay as Pensions, Perks and other Thievery, to oppress us, the Worked Class, the 88%.

Interestingly, those Praetorian Guard positions have job names that start with the letter P.

Not, probably so-designed, but, again helpful to remember.

Whike we, the despised 88%, do the d-jobs.

Thus: Police, Professors, Publicists, Poiticians (now, most), Poppes, Publicans, Prelates, Pimps of all sorts, the list goes on: all the jobs that are paid, over the odds, to use the three Power Mechanisms (of Bullying, Bribery and Brain-bashing: Condign Power, Compensatory Power and Conditioned Power, respectively: The Gun, The Carrot and Your, or rather, Their Telly, respectively), to immiserate us, the 88% on behalf them, the 2%, to the shame and misery of us all, the 100%.

So, our despised d-jobs, the dirty, degrading, dis-spiriting, dangerous jobs of daily dirt, danger and drugery are our, less-than-decently-paid lot.

Woe to our oppressors!

Not woe because I hate of envy them.

No, I an a Christian, Quaker and Rational Idealist, a recogniser that The Creator, God, is present everywhere in The Creation: suffering as we suffer, joyful when are over-joyed, starving when we are paid to little to live prispering, decent, productive, contributing-as-best-we-can lives.

Woe, because *the evidence is* that income inequality - and, worse, income inequity as regards paid work and unearnt income - is harmful, deeply harmful to us all.

See the evidence on that in 'The Spirit Level' book, its sequels, predecessors and web-sites such as www.equalitytrust.org.uk

As you may know, by now a peaceful, ecologically-respectful and Creator-given solution is to hand: the living plan for Co-operative Socialism.

Which is the opportunity for you, your family and friends, neighbours and communities to implement, annually audit and celebrate and move on to better from.

Very best wishes,

John Courtneidge

In All, for all,

The best!

By Tuesday!
