2003 Paul Bremer prohibited Iraq's central bank from funding state owned enterprises, the rebuilding of Iraq was in US's image, a whole culture rapidly dismantled at exceptional cost to Iraq's industries. 'No one believes in the public sector'
Ring any bells UK? #BrexitDisaster
Iraq's firms couldn't compete with imports flooding the country, Bremer scoffed 'this is the beauty of the free market, only the best will survive, one who is dying deserves to die'
1997 W.Rees Mogg's Sovereign Individual, the libertarians guide to killing the state. Next Brexit
The language of the US' mission to wipe the slate clean was typically suffused with wanton death & destruction & the merits of frontier disaster capitalism. Well UK, #Brexit has smashed your country to bits and right wing libertarians are running amok plundering and pillaging
a once stable economy. The Tories are in league with global cartels of business tycoons who are rubbing their hands with glee at the rich pickings to be had, all during times of total crisis, Covid being the cherry on top. So what's it going to take to rise up and say enough?

Heart of populist Brexit beats with unrestrained passion for the Tories favourite authors/economists, Hayek, Rand, Friedman, Buchanan, W.Rees-Mogg. The world bore witness to what was inflicted, so many caught in the disaster capitalist maelstrom, now the UK sucked into its vortex
Economic violence runs parallel to military tactics of war, 'Go in hard and fast' nothing gradual, no time to recuperate from shocks the Tories unleashed on its own people. Like a boomerang Brexit returns, hammers the UK with the real pain of its ideology on a myopic public/press
When the Tories ousted party moderates, the ERG and its vast network of right wing libertarians and oligarchs seized the opportunity to force through the clean slate, far right extremists throughout history lay off a countries workforce in order to exact revenge on socialism.

History shows that Iraq's missing billions in 2004 were part of the US wiping away a whole culture and country and replacing it with free market corporations that destroyed over 200 state controlled firms. Fast forward to Dido's absconding of £37 billion of taxpayers money 1/1
during the pandemic, another £35 billion that is owed to the NHS since officially leaving the EU in 2020, another £4,3 billion written off by the Govt through fraud last week and a devastating pattern of economic violence emerges courtesy of right wing libertarians. #ToryLies
As UK trade collapses, EU funding is replaced with pitiful crumbs from the Govt's table, deregulation is rapidly shoehorned in allowing multinationals to asset strip companies and flood the UK with cheap imports banned in the EU. Brexit is the segue into full blown privatisation.

This shows why traitors like Matthew and Sarah Elliott vested interests in changing UK politics to far right libertarianism takes years of serious planning Read/RT #ToryScum
Brexit-Loving Koch Acolytes Are Getting Rich Off Climate Change Denial in the UK splinternews.com/brexit-loving-…
Elliotts took funding from Koch and Mercer to pave the way towards smaller Govt and climate denial/deregulation, remember how #COP26 went tits up? The Tories have opened the floodgates to intense fossil fuel mining in the north sea, paid by corporate free market libertarians.
Sheer number of right wing think tanks supposedly non profit are keen to hide who their funders are, it is a scandal of the highest degree that corporate money dictates Govt policy, Brexit would not have happened if legislation was in place to stop disaster capitalist wreak havoc

2018 Truss met with 5 US libertarian groups that cost taxpayers £5,000
The Heritage Foundation-Trumpian think tank with ties to Rebekah Mercer, funder of Breitbart, Cambridge Analytica and Parler. 1/1
Liz Truss: The Tufton Street Candidate – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2022/01/18/liz…
The American Enterprise Institute, a neo-conservative think tank
The American Legislative Exchange Council, a right-wing lobbying group funded by corporations that advises law-makers across America
Americans for Tax Reform, a low-tax advocacy group
The Cato Institute
2/2
Truss in Thatcher military garb will adopt the radical rights 'Go in hard and fast' approach which will compound the UK's cost of living crisis with her Free Market Forum project pal Matthew Elliott of the IEA. If she replaces Johnson, expect a new level of Tory Hell post Brexit.

Brexit+Covid= Double whammy of crises for UK, golden opportunities for the 1%. 'The best time to invest is when there is blood on the streets.' Project Fear is the twin of the War on Terror, hard truths emerging as UK's self inflicted economic violence of Brexit & Covid impacts.
The 'cleaning out' of the Middle East of terrorists went hand in hand with free trade frontier capitalism. #Brexit hidden corporatist agenda of the clean slate is flush with far right libertarians all residing under Truss's Global network of Liberty #GTTO
Parallels in history to what is happening in the UK are plain to see, Friedman/Pinochet in the 70's, Russia in the 90's. Brexit/Covid sees Tories take the money & run offering up NHS to US healthcare companies, the cost of living crisis next, deregulation on tap all predicted.

People of the UK, Brexit has ushered in an era of rapid privatisation, total division, demonising of your neighbours all during a pandemic, which for the Tories was a goldrush, they love Covid, they love the deaths, they treat you and your families like something they stepped in.
Johnson championing the UK's vaccine roll out as 'the best in the world, better than the EU' is total BS. Of 30 million jabs in UK, 13 million Pfizer were imported from EU, 5 million from India and non-trivial amounts from NL. UK has only provided 20% for a 68 million population.
Don't think for 1 second that the Tories will stick around to help with the economic and emotional fallout after they've got their titles and illicit gains from your taxes shared with their mates. Laws for accountability have gone, post Brexit will be someone else's mess, yours.
