European pols wave their hands about digital sovereignty with broad but vague plan

MrGreen

All Talk

The EU is only saying this for distraction.

All of the bureaucrats own huge amounts of shares in US tech stocks.

They’re not going to devalue their portfolio. Your tax will continue to go to companies that all profit from.

The gravy train will continue.

Keep paying those taxes.

Just 15 buyers are in charge of £14B in UK central government tech spending

MrGreen

15? I’m Surprised It’s That Many

All these departments are for show.

They’re designed to spend as much of your tax money as possible, as quickly possible.

The employees don’t ask any questions because the deal is, they get an easy life and a nice pension.

All MP’s and their rich friends own huge amounts of shares in all the companies where the money is going.

They all know where the money is going in advance.

'Close to impossible' for Europe to escape clutches of US hyperscalers

MrGreen

Nothing is Going to Happen

The EU members all own shares in American tech companies. There’s no way they’re going to do anything to devalue their massive investments.

Only 4 of the world’s top 50 tech companies are European.

They’re all talk and no action.

MrGreen

Everything in the UK is “fabulously expensive” because you have to factor in all the corruption costs.

Greater Manchester says its NHS analytics stack is years ahead of Palantir wares

MrGreen

Follow the Shares

All MP’s can’t profit from public owned entities.

This is why they are directing your tax money to private companies they all own shares in.

They all become multi millionaires from this insider knowledge.

M&S stops online orders as 'cyber incident' issues worsen

MrGreen

No Cash No Cake

This is why cash must not be removed.

Digital payments or digital cash is a single point of failure.

No cash, no Colin the Caterpillar.

Bank of England flirts with offline digital dosh

MrGreen

Digital ID by the Back Door

Cash is distributed and anonymous.

Digital government currency is centralised.

Centralisation equals total control.

How will this centralised digital wallet handle authentication?

It’ll require you to input all of your personal data and a facial scan, all conveniently sent to the government’s centralised database.

Vivaldi bakes Proton VPN into browser to boost privacy

MrGreen

Proton? Don’t they share your log files?

Mullvad is definitely worth looking at.

City council rejects inquiry into £130M Oracle IT disaster

MrGreen

The bigger issue

Yes there should be a full independent inquiry. It’s unacceptable that councils think they can audit and regulate themselves.

However, the bigger issue is, they still can’t audit all of the money they’ve spent since the system went live.

No wonder they don’t want a full inquiry.

Payday from hell as several British banks report major outages

MrGreen

The Silence is Deafening

Still no real detail from the Barclays outage a few weeks back and now this.

Let’s not forget that Halifax and Lloyds also had issues when Barclays went down.

Parliament also issued a demand to 9 banks to explain what happened and find out how resilient they are.

The lack of transparency doesn’t smell right?

Under Trump 2.0, Europe's dependence on US clouds back under the spotlight

MrGreen

Why?

So why is Europe in this situation?

Ask yourself why all the contracts “continually” go to the big US tech companies?

Because all the MP’s and bureaucrats giving out the contracts own massive amounts of shares in the tech companies. They make lots of noise about the US in public but are all getting filthy rich from your tax money.

Mega council officers had no idea what they were buying ahead of Oracle fiasco

MrGreen

Not an isolated incident

If this massive overspending is constantly happening then you have to ask yourself, why is central government not doing something about it?

The reason is because the money goes to private companies they all own shares in.

DXC paid 50% more than original contract value for disastrous public sector Oracle project

MrGreen

Other People’s Money

The issue here is that it’s too easy for people in senior positions managing projects involving technology they’re not proficient in, to blow tax payers money. It’s easy because they’re unaccountable for failure and they still get paid regardless of any failure.

Put them all on performance related pay and the wasting of other people’s money will disappear.

Bank of England Oracle Cloud bill balloons – but when you print money, who's counting?

MrGreen

It’s obvious

Oracle was the only choice because those in the know all own shares in it.

UK biz dept overspent by £208M prepping to pay workers hurt in Post Office IT scandal

MrGreen

Where has £208M gone?

The UK legal system. Another way to transfer your tax money to the rich elites.

Why does the UK keep getting beaten up by IT suppliers?

MrGreen

Conflict of Interest

Those handing out the money for the contracts have shares in the companies where the money is going.

They don’t care how much of your tax money is being wasted because they’re making millions.

Why is Big Tech hellbent on making AI opt-out?

MrGreen

Soon it will always be on.

Tech companies are giving you a choice, for now. They’re conditioning people.

Soon it will always be on.

Governments will allow it because they’re dribbling at the thought of harvesting all of your information for their “Control Everything” database.

Brit competition watchdog takes aim at Google, Apple's mobile ecosystems

MrGreen

How Long?

10 months to investigate?

This is the exact problem with the UK government. It’s the world leader in inefficiency.

The bell tolls for TikTok as lifelines to avoid January 19 US ban vanish

MrGreen

The replacement is:

ByeBye TikTok.

Hello to BrainWash.

UK unveils plans to mainline AI into the veins of the nation

MrGreen

The Tax Funnelling Continues

You pay tax.

That tax goes to private companies.

The elites all own shares in those companies.

They know where the money is going.

Where do you think they get millions of pounds from?

They don’t care about you or the country!!

Telemetry data from 800K VW Group EVs exposed online

The Burning Question

Who the hell is still using Faceache?

Pornhub pulls out of Florida, VPN demand 'surges 1150%'

MrGreen

VPN Warning

Most VPN’s are data collection partners for government agencies.

Choose wisely.

Europe signs off on €10.6B IRIS² satellite broadband deal

MrGreen

Re: Its obviously a govt project... but

….. because those dishing out the money have already purchased massive share allocations in the companies involved and $10B will pump the share price significantly.

Check the net worth of any politician or bureaucrat and it’s many times more than their lifetime earnings.

You don’t become an MP to help your citizens, you become an MP so you get insider knowledge of which companies your citizens tax is going to.

Satellite phones are coming, but users not happy to pay much extra for the capability

MrGreen

Re: X Phone is Coming

They’ll definitely buy it if he delivers on the privacy he promised.

Also remember they’ll probably throw in a free 12 month carrier subscription.

He has the resources to disrupt the space easily and a poll on X showed massive support.

MrGreen

X Phone is Coming

The rush to offer a satellite service is only because the legacy telcos know that Elon is going to release a phone.

With Starlink in place Elon has the ability to release the X Phone with the carrier subscription included.

When you look at the size of the iPhone and Galaxy revenue it’s too tempting not to go after that market.

Fujitsu wins spot on £600M framework after vowing to sit out public sector

MrGreen

Who owns all the shares?

Follow the money.

Lot’s of elites can’t have their share portfolios being devalued. The free money continues.

Transport for London confirms 5,000 users' bank data exposed, pulls large chunks of IT infra offline

MrGreen

More Bonuses.

When TFL went bankrupt the head of TFL still got his £350k salary and £150k bonus.

He’ll still get the same this year.

Rewards for failure.

Transport for London confirms cyberattack, assures us all is well

MrGreen

Bonuses All Round

The head of TFL earns £350,000 per year plus a £150,000 bonus.

He received the £150,000 bonus when they went bankrupt and he’ll receive the same bonus after this failure as well.

Serco appoints former GDS leader Tom Read to digital leadership role

MrGreen

Follow the Money

A member of the big club moves to a company all of the big club own shares in. What a surprise.

This company is a conduit to poor your tax money in to.

Have a look who owns all the shares.

Capgemini wins deal with UK tax collector worth up to £574M

MrGreen

Re: Flat tax rate

The UK tax code is 10 million words - 21,000 pages. To put that number in some kind of perspective, the Complete Works of Shakespeare is about 880,000 words. So our tax code is about 12 times the length of the Complete Works of Shakespeare. It's about 12.5 times the number of words in the Bible (800,000 words).

All by design.

It’s how they justify robbing you of all that tax, but it actually goes straight to the companies they own shares in.

Why do you think nothing is actually changed by Parliament.

Chief Architect of red tape, laws and big government was Tony Blair. He’s amassed a personal fortune of over £100 million from it.

Craig Wright admits he isn't the inventor of Bitcoin after High Court judgment in UK

MrGreen

Bitcoin Inventors

Adam Back is British - invented Hashcash. A similar system is used in Bitcoin.

Hal Finney was American - worked on Bitcoin code, received the first Bitcoin transaction.

Nick Szabo is American - pioneered smart contracts, conceptualised decentralised Bit Gold.

Gavin Andresen is Australian - early developer of Bitcoin.

Brit council gives Oracle another £10M for professional services amid ERP fallout

MrGreen

Unaccountable

This is what happens when people know they won’t be held accountable.

Councils need auditing regarding who is in senior roles in the organisation because this is now a country wide problem.

Billions of pounds of taxpayers money is being squandered by people who will never be sacked for bad decisions.

It’s beyond a joke.

European Commission may be about to put the squeeze on Apple for its App Store rules

MrGreen

Smoke and Mirrors

Apple’s fine and other fines to tech giants are all distraction.

Fines are costed in by these businesses.

The EU are pretending to do something.

The leaders of the EU are all heavily invested in Apple stock and all the tech giants. Check their net worth. They’re never going to penalise these businesses heavily.

UK Labour Party promises end to datacenter planning 'barriers'

MrGreen

Lining Their Pockets

Labour and Conservative MP’s will only make decisions where massive amounts of your tax money goes to companies they are heavily invested in.

Otherwise known as insider trading.

The transfer of wealth will continue until the uni party apple cart it upset.

UK opens investigation of MoD payroll contractor after confirming attack

MrGreen

Which MP’s Own Shares in Sopra Steria

MP’s should be made to disclose what investment they have in Sopra Steria.

My guess is, most of them.

Follow the money.

The Government Value Cyber Security

This is how much the government value cyber security:

Head of Cyber Security - HM Treasury

IBM accused of cheating its own executive assistants out of overtime pay

MrGreen

All By Design

All of the big IT companies do this.

Imagine how much their profitability goes up by ‘accidentally’ not paying employees correctly.

If you complain you’ll be labelled as a troublemaker and they know no one will go legal on them because they have huge resources.

Use of India's CBDC declines, but central bank presses ahead

MrGreen

Centralised Control

Sounds like the people know that CBDC’s are designed for centralised control and don’t want to give up their freedom.

The trouble is, governments will give out free money to get people to download the app. People will lap it up.

The app will also create a Digital ID database by stealth.

UK government sets sights on £8B tech procurement overhaul

MrGreen

Insider Trading

A “framework” so that all MP’s have prior visibility of which companies are getting the contracts.

How convenient.

Hillary Clinton: 2024 will be 'ground zero' for AI election manipulation

MrGreen

?

Is it ground zero if you accidentally lose all your emails?

CEO of UK's National Grid warns of datacenters' thirst for power

MrGreen

If Only

If only there was a company like Rolls Royce who could build small form factor nuclear power plants.

Oh wait a minute, if the UK went down that route all that unlimited energy couldn’t be manipulated to fill rich land owners pockets.

SWIFT embraces central bank digital currencies after sandbox success

MrGreen

Do Not Give Up Your Freedom

CBDC’s = Centralised = Total Control

If you accept CBDC’s you will have no freedom.

It is the ultimate control mechanism.

Fujitsu set to be preferred bidder in UK digital ID scheme

MrGreen

Resist

Blair has been pushing Digital ID for decades.

They’ll sneak it in via things like CBDC’s.

They’ll offer free money to download an app or restrict access to things without the app. People will fall for it.

UK tech titan Mike Lynch's US fraud trial begins today

MrGreen

Arrogance

Certain companies have always been arrogant.

There’s a long history of the purchasers throwing their weight around, but the reality is that they didn’t do their homework and are equally responsible.

You can’t buy an overpriced second hand car, then complain that it’s overpriced, but you didn’t check the service history.

Record breach of French government exposes up to 43 million people's data

MrGreen

Re: Not again ...

If you were to visit some of these departments and heard how lax their attitude toward cyber threats were, your jaw would be on the floor.

MrGreen

Perfect Example

This is a perfect example of why Digital ID should never be allowed.

Vietnam may ban virtual assets to fix its bad rep for money laundering

Let’s Blame Crypto

Governments love someone to blame.

HPE blames GPU shortage for contributing to unexpected sales slide

MrGreen

Reputation Matters

If you don’t pay commissions, people leave, sales go down.

People talk, you can’t hire new people.

HPE boss Neri bags 15% pay hike in 2023 as targets ticked

MrGreen

Compensation

Isn’t it funny how certain people get their compensation, while those doing all the work don’t?

Surely it must be a glitch in the system?
