The present government is possibly the least trusted government in living memory, and it is certainly a contender for the least democratic. At a time when the policies of government have pushed the people to think only of how they are to survive, the cynical opportunists are wasting no time to break every election pledge, and push forward with an agenda that the people did not, and would not, vote for.
Under the lie of 'austerity', the government are transferring wealth away from the poorest sections of society, into the coffers of the richest. Theresa May has stated that austerity is over. The austerity policies continue, so this is another sound bite without substance. Giving tax breaks to their friends and their masters in the Establishment, and cutting services for the common people, the government insist that only by encouraging enterprise and cutting bureaucracy can the country struggle out of recession. What they fail to mention is that every recession is artificially created in order to redistribute wealth away from the people.
The re-privatisation of the Banks taken into public and part-national ownership under the previous regime, was conducted at a loss to the taxpayer. Yet again, the bankers gained at our expense. If the government was honest in any way, it would admit that the banking crisis was created to increase the grip of international finance, and that the only solution to our economic woes is for the government to issue its own currency, and pay the banks what they are owed in debt, using worthless pieces of paper created with no backing - in exactly the same way as the banks created the debt in the first place. Would the banks then fail? Hopefully so. However, what would be guaranteed would be that the people would owe the banks nothing, and the graduated income tax system introduced as a temporary measure to repay the Bankers' loans to pay for the war against Napoleon, could finally be abolished. Of course, as the politicians serve the Bankers and not the people, this outcome could not be expected under the present system.
On top of the theft of the people's money; in effect reducing us all to wage-slaves who have no option but to pay their taxes forever, the government have 'relaxed' green belt restrictions, allowing for the already over-populated UK to be flooded with millions more people who will be housed at the cost of the destruction of the land. Our country already relies on imports of food, thus an increase in population can only make the suffering which will come when food imports are interrupted, more devastating than if the population stayed at roughly the ridiculous level it is at now.
Tinkering with the economy is the way of political parties of ever hue. What the main parties will not do is to bring about full economic sovereignty for the country. As long as the issue of currency is in the hands of the banks, the country will never be free.
The great American, Thomas Jefferson stated that
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies."
That was true for the early United States, and it is true now in this and every other country.
Relaxing austerity is mere smoke and mirrors. Theresa May will not tackle the banks, nor will Jeremy Corbyn. Refusal to even consider breaking the power of the banks, is certain proof of allegiance to the economic system they are a central part of.
