The Privatisation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain


Her Majesty's Government is a corporation. Before I show the hard evidence, you can always tell what something is from it's actions. If I described an animal that was covered in hair, likes running around after tennis balls, and barked a lot you'd then know that I'm talking about a Dog. Same way if I describe an organisation which the majority of it's actions are to make money, then you know I'm talking about a business. Ok, now here's the hard evidence http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=majesty+&match=contains&CIK=&filenum=&State=&Country=X0&SIC=&owner=exclude&Find=Find+Companies&action=getcompany and for HM Treasury... http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=majesty+&match=contains&CIK=&filenum=&State=&Country=X0&SIC=&owner=exclude&Find=Find+Companies&action=getcompany

Ok, now here's the background....

Noble Drew Ali received the Spanish (Moorish) Land Grant during the Pan American Conference in 1928. Noble Drew Ali was one of the initiators of the Moorish Science Temple of America - a reconstitution of the original Al Moroccan government, which was fully functioning in America prior to the founding of the United States. The Moorish Land Grant (known more popularly as the Spanish land grant) was a grant given to the European powers in 1762 to conduct business in the Western hemisphere. For more information on this area see 'The Return of the Ancient Ones' written by the Empress Verdiacee http://www.dralimelbey.com/united-washitaw-de-dugdahmoundyah-muur-nation-history.html you can also research the Treaty of Paris 1763, the Royal Proclamation 1763, and the French Indian Wars circa 1754-63. The land grant, was just that, a grant of land that was only supposed to be last for a certain period of time - until 2004 if i'm not mistaken. This information was supposed to be hidden from the heirs of the land, the autochthonous, indigenous Moorish people, modernly known as black people. As long as the heirs were in a minority state i.e. thinking we're black people, and not Moors, the Europeans could act as trustees over the land, which basically means they could conduct business, and everything else they've been doing without paying for the privilege of being there. When Noble Drew Ali received evidence of grant it caused a panic amongst the European bankers - Investment bankers who trade on things such as securities, derivatives, and stocks and bonds, are really trading on the estates and energies of the common people. The hub of this, and therefore the most valuable stock, is found in America as it is the North Gate (see the Zodiac). Therefore any major occurrences in the financial market of America has a major effect on the whole world. When news of what Noble Drew Ali had done began getting around the investment bankers began calling in the loans and notes that they were trading thinking that very soon those pieces of paper that they hold would be even more valueless than they were at their creation.

BOE notes are backed by nothing. They have said that they can be exchanged for other notes. This came to head in 1931. Here's the proof straight from the horses mouth ... https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/155700/response/380147/attach/html/3/1.pdf.html  and .... https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/8097/response/20357/attach/html/2/9%20114%20Reply.pdf.html

What happened was after the Stock Market crash of 1929 lots of the creditors for the UK began to demand it's money be paid back. The UK had to pay out tons of money - real money, meaning gold and silver reserves. This is evidenced if you look at the Hansard records of parliament for 1931 http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/sittings/1931/ . The UK government was dissolved by the King, and then a national government was formed. As the UK no longer had anything left to back up the Bank of England notes it then had to go through a process of recapitalisation. This is a process that is one of the possible solutions for a company that is insolvent i.e. no longer able to pay it's debts. recapitalisation means that the company has to find a new source of funding or assets to back it up. So for a normal business this could mean re-mortgaging a factory. The Bank of England had to find something to back up it's notes with in-case anyone came asking to convert their 10 and 20 pound notes back into silver or Gold. Anyone who read the Freedom of Information response that I linked to earlier carefully you will have realised that since 1931 the BOE notes have been backed by what's known as securities. Now, a security in financial terms is a type of agreement. A 3 year old will be able to tell you that it is impossible to have 10 pounds (in weight) worth of agreements, but every BOE note still says to this day 'the bank of England promises to pay the bearer on demand the sum of....'

Now for a bit of science behind debts....

There is a 70 year debt cycle which is related to the cycle of precession. Precession is a cycle of the star systems of the zodiac around the pole axis of the Earth. It takes approximately 25,000 years to complete one full cycle of precession, and the cycle stays in each sign for approximately 2000 years. The 2000 year time period is called an 'Age'. This is what is meant when people say that we are now in the age of Aquarius, as the cycle as recently left Pisces and is now in Aquarius. The cycle of precession moves 1 degree out of it's total 360 every 72 years, So this is where the relation between debt cycles and astrology comes in. In fact everything in economics is based on the workings of nature, but more on that other time.

So around every 70 years nations will have to do something to try and gain funds to pay back some of the debts that they owe, so they can sustain their credit ratings at a level that is enough to convince the lenders (international banking organisations) that they are worthy of loaning more funds to. As an example of this,  in 1933 the USA announces the 'new deal' where all of the gold was taken in by the Federal Reserve, to pay back all of the loans that had been cashed in after the 1929 crash. Around 70 years before this it's 1860 and near the start of the Civil War. 70 years before this we have the USA constitution coming into play in 1789. 70 years after the new deal/stock market crash we have Y2K in the year 2000 and 9-11 in 2001.

The cycle is different for different jurisdictions and nations. In Britain if we begin in 1694 with the founding of the Bank of England, we can then move around 70 years forward to 1765 when the controversial Stamp Act was introduced, and the in 1770 James Cook claims New South Wales, in Australia for Britain. Fast forward another 70 years, and in 1840 we have the first major act in establishing New Zealand, with the controversial Treaty of Waitangi being signed, the Province of Canada is established, and Hong Kong is claimed by the British via the Treaty of Nanjing. Another 70 years on and we have the Knickerbocker stockmarket crash in 1907, the establishment of National Insurance in the UK with the 1911 National Insurance Act, and the immense curtailing of the powers of the House of Lords to veto legislation coming from parliament with the 1911 Parliament Act. Fast forward another 70 years and we are now into the eighties, and what do we get in the eighties?...A whole load of privatisation....

....The beginning of eighties sees Britain start the Falklands War (1982), and the beginning of the biggest wave of privatisation in Britain since the enclosures of the 1700s.

You'll also notice if you click on the Wikipedia source for that list that the UK has by far the largest list of privatised organisations compared to other countries.

So, all of the above organisations (plus lots more in the 90s) were sold off to help pay back the debt that the UK owed to international banks at the time. As all of these organisations were nationally owned i.e. owned by the people of Britain, then naturally if they're sold to someone else then people that owned them i.e. me and you, should receive some sort of share of that money - right? This of course never happened, but more on that another time.

The privatisation of national institutions was not limited to that list. One of the other major institutions which was privatised which no-one really mentions is football. Up until the early 1990s top flight football in England was free to watch. There wasn't the plethora of matches on TV that are shown today as having the cameras and staff to cover so many matches is expensive, and would have been even more expensive back in the 1980s/early 90s. But, at least once a week, if my memory serves me correctly, there would be a live match from division 1 on terrestrial TV. All FA Cup games were also on terrestrial TV, as were the European matches too.

Having been born and grown up in England there are some things that no-matter how much you learn, because there is a part of you that has seen things be a certain way from when you were very young, you will still be surprised by when you see them happening, or potentially happening, and this for me is one of those things. It's a similar thing for me when it comes to the FA Cup - FA Cup finals were always the highlight and grand finale of the footballing season. For a whole week before there would be build up and anticipation for the game, and then on the day all other football would stop, and the whole day's coverage on TV would be devoted to this one match. Now, you have premier league games being played on the same day, the kick-off time has been moved to late afternoon, and it almost seems like just another game.

To fully understand the privatisation of football in England you have to go back to the 1970s when English football began to be very dominant in Europe, and the first discussions for satellite TV in England were being had....

In the 70s the government began to talk about offering bids for licenses to broadcast satellite tv in the UK. This would be beneficial for HM government (aka the City of London) for two reasons - firstly they can make money from the licenses, as people will probably be willing to pay for extra TV which makes it a viable business venture for companies to have a go at. Secondly, they want to sell off/privatise football - now, if they just turned around one day and said to the nation 'You know what, last year we were broadcasting all this football to you for free, but this year we want you to pay 5 quid a match to watch it' people would just go nuts, protest, and basically just not have it. So, they let Sky start it's business, then they took the top 20 clubs in the country and put them into a new business of their own called 'The Premier League' so that it can now negotiate rights to broadcast separately from the rest of the football league. Sky then waltzes in and outbids everyone for the rights to show the premier league, and hey presto you are now paying to watch what last year was free but to the man in the street it looks like things just sorta happened, and it's either fork out and watch your favourite team, or don't pay and miss out.

From that moment on we have seen football become more and more of a business with clubs floating on the stock market, being sold to foreign investors, and in some cases being totally rebranded to the point where they completely change the city that they play in.

Here's details of more privatisation that has happened in the UK....

'Enclosure' is another way of saying 'privatisation', so this is something that has been happening for a few centuries, not just decades. Research the enclosures of land in the UK during the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s. Land used to be part of what was known as the 'commons' - a feudalistic legal term, relating to things that were free to use in anyway people chose by pretty much everyone - even though technically it was a feudalistic system it was still a lot better than the situation we have now where the government/crown/whichever name the greed-driven individuals who try to wield control want to give themselves this week claims to 'own' the vast majority of the land in the UK. The park-like Commons that we have now e.g. Clapham Common, are a remnant of what is left from those days.

Royal Mail was privatised via the 2011 Postal Services Act. This act turned Royal Mail into a corporation which was able to be listed on the stock exchange. The majority of the the shares have been purchased by private firms, and the UK Government (technically a corporation in itself) has retained 30% worth of shares.

The privatisation of the NHS has been a lot less blatant than what has happened with Royal Mail. As it was likely to create a lot more uproar if it was formally announced that the NHS was going to be privatised, the method used has been to split up the services provided by the NHS and sell those pieces off to the highest bidders who will then take over responsibility for providing those services. One report claimed that 70% of contracts that were put out for tender between April 2013 and December 2013 had been won by private companies, including one contract that was worth £1 billion. In order to aid the smooth transition from public to private ownership with a little backlash from the public as possible, HM government has let the companies which win the contracts use the official NHS logo, so someone who is unaware of the tender will probably still think that it's a publicly run service.

This tactic is reminiscent of the way that London Transport has been privatised. London Transport is run by a company called 'Transport for London' - a name which suggests that it's actually a nationalised, government company, when in-fact it is a private corporation which HM government call a 'PPP' (Public Private Partnership). The mayor of london is a chair on the board of the company, which I'm sure is very cosy for him. Transport for London has been responsible for introducing the money-spinning congestion charge, as well as the Oyster Card payment system, which although it has sped things up for the majority of people who live in London, can be an annoyance for anyone who doesn't, and therefore doesn't know how the system works, and is, at the end of the day, another method used to try and move people further away from using metallic based currencies, which have numerous benefits for the people using them, and more onto an electronic credit based system where it is even easier to control the movement and supply of 'money'.

The final straw for me came when I was watching newsnight a couple of weeks ago and Noel Edmonds popped up talking about how he and a consortium of other 'like-minded' people wanted to buy the BBC  (see these links for more http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/noel-edmonds-wants-buy-bbc-3256301http://www.theguardian.com/media/mediamonkeyblog/2014/mar/17/noel-edmonds-bbc-takeoverhttp://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/03/18/noel-edmonds-bbc_n_4983449.html?utm_hp_ref=uk&ir=UK). Now, I consider myself a realist, and even though I know that the so-called government is just a corporation, and therefore an organisation who's main aim is to make a profit, it still really take me back when I actually heard the possibility that something like the BBC could just be sold off to someone who pays enough money.

The flipside of all of this is the fact that as people become more and more disillusioned by the whole system more and more people have realised that the best way to do things is to start our own services, such as learning centres, healing centres, and maybe one day even football leagues too.
