thanks Gimlet Eye- I did watch some of it today, but, it was a hectic day and I’m going to watch it entirely tomorrow

Hi Kaz
thanks for the comment and I went to look at the concept of techno feudalism.. Very relevant

“But do these unprecedented developments really mean that we no longer live under capitalism? After all, capitalism has undergone fundamental transformations before. Should we not simply prepare ourselves for its latest incarnation? No, I do not think so. What we are experiencing is not merely another metamorphosis of capitalism. It is something more profound and worrisome.”

Capitalism has undergone extreme makeovers at least twice since the late nineteenth century.

The ensuing boisterous cycle of mega-debts and mega-returns eventually led to the crash of 1929, the New Deal, and, after World War II, the Bretton Woods system

The end of Bretton Woods in 1971 unleashed capitalism’s second transformation.

The transition from Smithian to oligopoly capitalism boosted profits inordinately and allowed conglomerates to use their massive market power (that is, their newfound freedom from competition) to extract large rents from consumers. Yes, Wall Street extracted rents from society by market-based forms of daylight robbery. Nevertheless, both oligopoly and financialized capitalism were driven by private profits boosted by rents extracted through some market – one cornered by, say, General Electric or Coca-Cola, or conjured up by Goldman Sachs.Then, after 2008, everything changed. Ever since the G7’s central banks coalesced in April 2009 to use their money printing capacity to re-float global finance, a deep discontinuity emerged. Today, the global economy is powered by the constant generation of central bank money, not by private profit.

But that generation of central bank money cannot continue and the potential for massive ensuing chaos means they controllers need to have their mechanisms of control in place before the shit hits the fan-
Covid allows for that to be put in place- it must be resisted

It is difficult to comment on the current situation without sounding ruthless.

But nothing seems more dangerous than a poison which builds up slowly but faster than the body can get rid of…

Looking at history there has always been big events which caused a huge number of body bags, because of the whims of royalty and the nobles. The pretend not to be royals(communist elite) and now the with which I will describe with a borrowed word from “yanis varoufakis” techofeudalists. (No I am not a leftist).

Anyway I came accross a certain book I am going to give a read which might give me some better understanding of the whole ordeal
“Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration”

Keep up the good work Penny.

Anyone with half a brain and a modicum of thinking skills could have easily predicted this outcome- I wrote extensively about this at my former blog– leaky, ADE inducing vaccines, were never going to end the pandemic- in fact they were going keep the ball rolling, just as lock downs have and continue to do.

Time to realize we’ve been duped – well not all of us but way too many.

More than 118% of Gibraltar’s population are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, with this figure stretching beyond 100% due to doses given to Spaniards who cross the border to work or visit the territory every day. Gibraltar’s entire adult population has been fully vaccinated since March, and masks are still required in shops and on public transport.

The drastic increase in the numbers of people testing positive for Covid-19 in recent days is a stark reminder that the virus is still very prevalent in our community and that it is the responsibility of us all to take every reasonable precaution to protect ourselves and our loved ones,” Health Minister Samantha Sacramento said.
