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

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?

Vietnam to collect biometrics - even DNA - for new ID cards

Blair

Blair will be salivating at this news.

He’s been pushing this for years.

The UK will probably deliver this by stealth. A digital currency app that collects your biometric data. The government will offer £20 for free and the sheep will lap it up.

Two days into the Digital Services Act, EU wields it to deepen TikTok probe

Offshore bank accounts are in US dollars. That’s why Rishi and all MP’s, bureaucrats and banks don’t care about the pound.

These laws are just another way for the EU to tax companies outside of Europe.

Infosys enjoyed a boom in UK government invoices in 2023

Insider Trading

“the Cabinet Office has said all contracts are awarded following an open and fair process, and decisions are "rigorously scrutinized." “

They’re definitely rigorously scrutinised, so that all of the elites know who’s going to win so that their broker can purchase shares in the winning company a few weeks before the announcement.

NHS in Wales bets big on Microsoft with deal worth nearly half a billion

The NHS is just another conduit to tax you more and transfer your wealth.

Don’t forget, you’re saving all the poor people.

HPE seeks $4B in damages from Autonomy boss Mike Lynch and his ex-CFO

Irony

Isn’t it ironic that they want paying back, but they amassed that kind of money from not paying people.

Most CCTV of ferals show they have their faces covered.

Politicos demand full list of Fujitsu's public sector contract wins in wake of Post Office scandal

The Game is Rigged

Your tax goes to the treasury.

The treasury gives your tax to companies.

Companies give your tax to banks.

The elite know and control where the tax money is going and invest in those companies.

Nothing is going to change. The game is rigged. The elite wrote to rules to transfer your wealth to them.

UK PM promises faster justice for Post Office Horizon victims

This Isn’t an Isolated Incident

Isn’t it funny how the Horizon system only showed ‘deficits’ on postmasters books?

Money was always being taken off them but no one got an overpayment. Isn’t that strange.

This isn’t an isolated incident. That’s why it’ll get swept under the carpet.

Many companies IT systems only work in directing money from employees to the business. Obviously we can’t have the little people making too much profit or commission.

The IT systems are blamed and manual changes are made if you flag up a discrepancy. However, the system is left to keep taking money off people. But where does the money go? In to the company profits because that’s what the C level people get paid on.

Programmable or 'purpose-bound' money is coming, probably as a feature in central bank digital currencies

In the UK 50% of cash machines have already been removed. Lots of shops, restaurants and transportation are now cashless. Contactless payments are the transition to normalise digital payments. The government will offer free digital pounds (CBDC) if people download a digital wallet and people will do it like lambs to the slaughter.

The CBDC wallet is Digital ID by the back door. Your location will be tracked and your spending will be tracked. The goods that you purchase will be tied to a carbon footprint score.

CBDC is the END to your privacy and freedom. It hands ultimate control to the government.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in crypto stolen after Ledger code poisoned

Money by a long way

The share of all cryptocurrency activity associated with illicit activity in 2022 was 0.24% of all transactions ($20 billion).

Approximately $4 trillion in fiat is laundered through traditional financial institutions each year. 4% of global GDP.

If you want to add dirty money from corruption and bribery then that’s an additional $3.6 billion in fiat.

Ofcom proposes ban on UK telcos making 'inflation-linked' price hikes mid-contract

Post-Brexit tariffs on EU-UK electric vehicle imports staved off till 2027

Re: Tariffs To Kill Free Trade

I sincerely hoped you’d present some facts?

Why don’t we start with the ECB where magic money appears. €652 million in staff cost, €594 million in admin expenses, the list goes on.

“Here at the European Central Bank (ECB), we work to keep prices stable in the euro area.”

I wonder who is in charge of such an organisation? Oh it’s Christine Lagarde. She must be very trustworthy.

She used to work at the IMF? I’m seeing a pattern here:

“A French court has found International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde guilty of negligence but did not hand down any punishment.

As French finance minister in 2008, she approved an award of €404m ($429m; £340m) to businessman Bernard Tapie for the disputed sale of a firm.“

Tariffs To Kill Free Trade

Our ‘friends’ in the EU don’t want free trade, they’ve used tariffs for 50 years to decimate the UK.

Look at manufacturing, farming, fishing, ship building etc. 50 years ago in the UK compared to Europe. Now look at those industries today. There is no free trade with the EU it’s a protection racket. They’ve pumped money in to Northern Europe and neglected Southern Europe as well.

Free trade means no tariffs.

Twitter, aka X, tops charts for misinformation, EU official says

Governments have spent decades weaponising misinformation to the point where no one believes them anymore.

The EU is one of the worst offenders. They continually bang on about democracy but are unelected by citizens. Now they’re blaming everything on climate change and Russia but continue to burn more coal and buy loads more gas from Russia.

Compare your bank account to MP’s and EU bureaucrats and you’ll see why controlling misinformation is so important to them.

EE touts next-gen broadband Smart Hub with Wi-Fi 7 for 2024

More BS

EE claim they have 85% coverage of the UK.

Well, having 26 bars of signal on your mobile may be great but you can’t actually transfer any data!

And where’s that useless shower of sh*t OFCOM?

“According to Ofcom’s Connected Nations Report Summer 2020. 85% geographic coverage equates to more than 99% of the population.”

What a surprise! The failed government uses one of its non regulating regulators to pump out more propaganda to the plebs.

Britcoin or Britcon? Bank of England grilled on Digital Pound privacy concerns

She Doesn’t Understand the Question

She was asked about “programmability” but talked about “privacy”? These are two very different things.

The only reason for a government to adopt a digital currency is for full control.

We already have digital transactions which do everything that a digital currency does apart from the programmable part.

Also remember that once you download a digital wallet for the proposed digital pound it will capture a face scan etc.

This is Digital ID by the back door. The government get full control of your money and can track your movements.

Transfer of Wealth

The transfer of wealth continues.

Compare your bank account to Rishi’s or any MP’s or any EU bureaucrat.

If you think any money going to the EU is a good thing then you’re a lamb to the slaughter.

All of your tax ends up going to big corporations and then banks. Money going to the EU is just another way to siphon of your tax. Guess who’s the most invested in these corporations?

You guessed it, Rishi, all MP’s, EU bureaucrats, banks.

Clingy Virgin Media won't let us leave, customers complain

Nothing Will Change

OFCOM? Another useless government department wasting more taxpayers money and only protecting big corporations.

Everyone knows these contracts are a scam to sign people up on low deals and then hike up the prices. Mobile phone companies have been allowed to get away with it, by OFCOM, so other companies will jump on the gravy train.

“Ofcom rules state that customers can only leave mobile contracts early, penalty-free, if the price hike is of “material detriment” “

CBDC = Digital ID

You don’t need it but governments want to tie your Digital ID to money.

CBDC’s will require an app on your phone. They’ll offer free money to download it and people will lap it up.

Once you submit all your details via the app the government can now track all of your movements and financial transactions. This removes all of your privacy and freedom.

CBDC Trojan Horse

The EU will say anything to introduce Digital ID. When you download that friendly government CBDC app your privacy and freedom have gone.

Let’s create loads of fear around crypto being bad so we can save everyone:

“U.S. Treasury Department says that fiat still accounts for the majority of financial crimes.”

“Chainalysis found that the share of illegal money in crypto is only 0.15% of all transactions in 2021.”

NHS England considered using Palantir tech to manage strike disruption

Control is a Drug to Government

“NHS England considered using Palantir tech to manage strike disruption”.

Translation:

The government are using Palantir tech to track staff who went on strike.

UK consortium bid for NHS data platform falls at first hurdle

Money Making and Control

Palantir will win because those making the decisions have loads of shares in the company which will shoot up in value when the contract is awarded.

Also, Palantir proved during COVID how quickly they can pass your data to the police so you get a knock at the door. Government love this level of control.

When all the banks closed in Ukraine when the war started what do you think was still working?

People were buying things with Bitcoin.

People could also flee the country immediately and still have access to funds once they reached another country.

Oppressed people and people in countries who don’t trust their banks also use Bitcoin as currency.

People who can’t get a bank account use Bitcoin.

1.7 billion people don’t have a bank account but Bitcoin allows them to become their own bank.

I think these are good examples of blockchain solving very important problems.

Apart from meat, fruit and vegetables, try buying something from your chosen supermarket that doesn’t contain toxic seed oils. Top tip, vegetable oil is not made from vegetables.

This isn’t a joke, this is the reality. People are buying Bitcoin because they don’t want to be slaves controlled by the government’s CBDC. 105 countries are testing CBDC’s and governments want to attach it to digital ID’s and your carbon footprint.

This report is the continuing FUD to scare people away from Bitcoin adoption. The FCA saying it’s bad yet banks are buying loads of it.
