Bitcoin bandit's £5B bubble bursts as cops wrap seven-year chase

The UK government already owns 61,000 Bitcoins placing it 3rd in the list of countries who own Bitcoin, USA are first, China are second.

This should by put in to a sovereign wealth fund with this newly acquired Bitcoin.

Europe preps Digital Euro to enter circulation in 2029

Remember….

What happened to the truckers in Canada.

CBDC and digital ID are for Ultimate Control.

That’s the only reason they keep pushing them.

You can’t survive without money.

Digital ID is now less about illegal working, more about rummaging through drawers

Blair is Still Running the Show

UK government's £45B AI savings pitch built on broad-brush guesswork, MPs told

Everything is an Opportunity

Everything is an opportunity to divert your money to their bank accounts.

AI is just the latest scam to send massive amounts of your tax money to companies they own shares in and consult for.

The transfer of wealth continues.

Just look at where all the money goes and who owns all the shares.

Capita fined £14M after 58-hour delay exposed 6.6M records

Who Owns Capita

Who owns all the shares in Capita?

The same people handing out the contracts.

It’s a scam.

Your tax is being sent to companies the elites all own shares in. That’s how they make millions.

UK Home Office opens wallet for £60M automated number plate project

Pay Per Mile

This data will be the start of Pay Per Mile.

This will be tied to your Digital ID and Carbon Footprint score.

Quote from the Tony Blair Institute:

“Introduce road pricing: Rather than increasing fuel duty in the spring, introduce a simple pay-per-mile road-pricing system of 1p per mile for cars and vans, and 2.5p to 4p for heavy-goods vehicles. This reform would be revenue neutral compared with current plans to raise fuel duty but would be a crucial step in reforming the UK’s system of motoring taxation for the electric-vehicle era. In doing so, it would help prevent a growth-stifling rise in road congestion.”

BT promises 5G Standalone for 99% of the UK by 2030

More BS

99% “coverage”.

1% “bandwidth”

Mobile phone services are a complete scam. They tell the regulator how wonderful their service is with their 99% coverage map.

Let’s see the data download statistics?

Yes you might get 4 bars of “signal” on your phone but zero ability to transfer any data.

There’s whole counties in the UK where data transfer is slower than dial up.

Blockchain just became an utterly mainstream part of the global financial system

Peer to Peer doesn’t need SWIFT

SWIFT is not being used by younger generations. They don’t trust banks. You no longer need a third party to transfer money.

The issue with the SWIFT blockchain is it will probably be centralised which completely defeats the objective of blockchain security.

It is possible for very fast transactions. This has been solved on the Bitcoin blockchain by using the Lightning Network on layer 2 for off chain transactions. It’s fast and cheap.

SWIFT are losing business and it’s only going to get worse.

The elephant in the room is that blockchain doesn’t need a third party as it was designed to be peer to peer.

Banks are also aware of this which is why they want CBDC’s so they collect a commission on every single transaction.

Jaguar Land Rover gets £1.5B government jump-start after cyber breakdown

Keep Those Shares Valuable

Look at who owns the shares.

They’re getting £1.5 billion because the elites who own all the shares are protecting their wealth with your money.

Your tax goes straight to companies they all own shares in. It’s how they transfer your hard earned cash to their bank accounts.

Empty shelves, empty coffers: Co-op pegs cyber hit at £80m

It Will Be Priced In

Supermarkets never take a hit.

They’ll just put 5p on every product and the customer will pay.

Just like they do with shoplifting.

Brussels faces privacy crossroads over encryption backdoors

Who’s Promoting These Ideas?

Look no further than the self confessed Globalisation expert Tony ‘Total Control’ Blair.

Do you want mass surveillance, mass data surveillance, mass media manipulation, Diigital ID, Central Bank Digital Currency? The Tony Blair Institute can help. Pay us loads of tax payers cash and we’ll help you keep those tax payer cows in the field so you can milk them of all their cash till they drop dead.

Check out Tony’s website for the full new world dystopia play book.

Got to go, there’s a knock at the door.

Johnson, Cummings met Thiel months before Palantir won NHS pandemic role

Easy Money

1. Meet with a company.

2. Buy a few million pounds worth of shares in that company.

3. Award that company a big fat contract.

4. That companies shares increase significantly in value.

5. Sell your shares.

6. Bank a load of cash.

7. Go to stage 1 and repeat the process.

It’s how they’re all worth tens or hundreds of millions.

Get paid like a prime minister to tame Home Office IT chaos

The Theatre Continues

This is yet more evidence that Parliament and all of these government offices are just theatre.

This isn’t a serious salary and whoever gets the job won’t change anything.

The elites don’t want change, they just want the gravy train to continue.

Your tax will continue to end up going to companies they all own shares in.

UK retail giant M&S restores Click & Collect months after cyber attack, some services still down

Arrogance is Misplaced Intelligence

Arrogance is the issue.

The big question is, how many times did the bean counters reject advice to spend more on cyber security?

There’s a growing culture to just buy cyber insurance rather than invest in real defence. You might get a payout but the bean counters haven’t factored in the biggest cost, reputational damage. I would love to be in the board room when the calculator comes out to quantify this cost.

Congress tries to outlaw AI that jacks up prices based on what it knows about you

Re: Uk insurance

Insurance companies look at your postcode/zip code, vehicle value and occupation to determine how wealthy you are.

They also increase quotes if you add optional extras to the quote. As an example, if you’re buying car insurance and you add breakdown cover or legal cover they will inflate the quote.

Sh!t happens, so Microsoft is paying biz to flush its carbon sins underground

No One is Surprised

Just like it’s founder, you are all the problem, don’t use a petrol car, don’t eat meat, while we pay to hide our waste and private jets.

NCA arrests four in connection with UK retail ransomware attacks

“Sorry to be a pain, but how in hell, these days, is this sort of thing possible.”

In the UK companies are only interested in immediate profits and so the bean counters have got way too much power.

98% of companies won’t engage in a discussion, even if you show them a possible threat to their organisation.

Every single company has had an intruder on their network.

It’s not a matter of “if” they get hacked, it’s a matter of “when”.

There has to be a special level of arrogance to think saving a company a couple of million pounds is superior to losing £300 million.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

City council rejects inquiry into £130M Oracle IT disaster

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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?

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?

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.

Europe signs off on €10.6B IRIS² satellite broadband deal

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

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.

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.
