Andy Burnham is now the frontrunner to be Britain's next Prime Minister.
Nobody is asking what he actually built in Manchester, which has everything to do with Zone Fever, which is quietly extracting massive amounts of State aid (public money) to privatise the entire UK without any mention in the MSM whatsoever.
Let me explain why that matters.
Please read, share and subscribe to my Substack. No one else in the UK is focusing on the stealth nationwide rollout of free zones, initiated by the Tories, and fully backed and continued under the Labour Party.

On 22 June, Manchester United announced it had secured land for its new 100,000-seat stadium.
The land was owned by Indurent, a UK warehouse company owned by Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager, with $1 trillion under management.
Four days earlier, Burnham had left office.
The timing is not incidental.
For nine years, Burnham was the primary architect of the institutional and regulatory framework that made the Old Trafford regeneration zone investable.
And made Blackstone's land, sitting inside it, enormously valuable.

£160 million in state aid. Planning powers. Infrastructure earmarks.
Burnham welcomed it. "A vote of confidence in devolution."
What he didn't say: this was a Labour mayor co-signing a Tory deregulation framework.
This is the same architecture Labour officially opposed.

As usual we start with Russian losses
A woman in my office had been doing the same job for nearly ten years. She knew every shortcut, every process, and every excuse for why she shouldn’t apply for a promotion.
Whenever people encouraged her, she’d laugh and say..
“I’m not management material.”
One day, her manager resigned unexpectedly. Until a replacement was found, she was asked to lead the team for just two weeks.

One day, her manager resigned unexpectedly. Until a replacement was found, she was asked to lead the team for just two weeks.
She spent the first few days convinced she was failing. Every decision felt uncomfortable. Every meeting made her nervous.
But something surprising happened. Problems got solved. Deadlines were met. The team actually listened to her. Two weeks later, senior management offered her the role permanently. She sat quietly for a moment before accepting.
But something surprising happened. Problems got solved. Deadlines were met. The team actually listened to her. Two weeks later, senior management offered her the role permanently. She sat quietly for a moment before accepting.
Months afterward, she admitted something during a team lunch.
“The hardest part wasn’t learning to be a manager,” she said. “The hardest part was letting go of the story I’d been telling myself for ten years.”
That’s what comfort zones mean to me. Sometimes they’re not places. Sometimes they’re old beliefs we’ve lived with for so long that we mistake them for facts.

Note on the dual nature of rudra's sons:
------------
Rudra having the dual nature - that of a disease bringer, killer of men (pūruṣaghna) and killer of cattle (goghna) vs the best of the healers and bringer of medicine in vedic literature is quite well known. AV 6.90

Associates his arrows with diseases and the mantra is meant to remove his darts that struck the limbs and heart. The shatarudrīya alludes to his ghora form - the chant during agnichayana is to pacify this terrible form.
Perceptive readers may also note that this dual form of rudra is inherited by his sons skanda and vināyaka - Both are great seizers. The former especially of children (hence the bālagraha kumāragraha etc.). Skanda's pacification thus naturaly is important in pediatric cures rites

THREAD: Bob Ferguson built his entire political career on one image.
The ethical crusader. The transparency champion. The man who held power accountable.
It was always a performance.
And the curtain is coming down.
Let's dig into the psychological profile.

First, understand who Ferguson really is psychologically.
He's a chess master. Literally. Two-time WA state champion.
Chess rewards total board control. Anticipating every threat. Never being caught off guard.
That's not how he plays chess
That's how he runs government

A man obsessed with controlling every move is a man terrified of losing control
And every time Ferguson has been caught off guard, the pattern is identical:
Deny
Minimize with legal language
Attack the messenger
Apologize ONLY when the audio leaks
Every. Single. Time.

@MadamSavvy @Awk20000 🧵Because it's projection. The Piker is entirely performative in his manner of being. It's why the multi-faceted designation sits within the category of lolcow But it goes just a bit beyond that
@MadamSavvy @Awk20000 The Piker Projection™ and The Piker Projection Rule™ are jokes but they carry a truth to them that you have to take seriously: Whether he performs for being emotive or he's expressing accusation towards someone of something he actually has or is doing, are heuristics.
@MadamSavvy @Awk20000 Consider from the very start of his birth (New Brunswick, N.J. because he's an anchor babe), reared (Istanbul, Turkey), his higher education history (poli-sci + comms; all non-STEM degrees), and the financial class he was born into.
