What did I tell you? The entire UK is about to be privatised and deregulated for total autocratic corporate hegemony, extortion, destruction of environment/countryside, public services annihilated, slave labour, Neo-Feudalism, charter cities. The Tories must be stopped!
UK democracy is being sold off to private investors who can write their own anti-statist laws to usher in 'Laws as services that companies demand' Shanker Singham. 'Win the courts, win the war' Libertarianism is incompatible with democracy.
The UK is witnessing the total commodification of democracy and yet hardly anyone seems to care, least of all the opposition parties. Tories have their clean slate ready, next unelected PM will unleash libertarian hell on an unsuspecting public. I despair.
Tories 'Freeports' is a veiled umbrella term that will lead to deregulated charter cities. Exactly same tactic was used to mask the true agenda of Brexit as a Libertarian Exit from democracy. Same pattern copied and pasted from Romer's Honduras failure.restofworld.org/2021/honduran-…
We're witnessing completion of the Brexit clean slate. A deregulation cull of EU laws. Tories let disaster capitalists wreck the country while they rake in billions as your lives and incomes are upended. It will get worse, high bills are a cruel exercise in libertarian ideology.
Watch out, those 'investment zones' Truss speaks of are the latest buzzword that translate into 'land and power grabs'. You don't raze a country's economy to the ground for nothing. The zones around the +10 Freeports have been expanded up to 75km across.
Now the UK has left EU, Tories are setting up Britain as one big tax haven. Transfer of public wealth to private hands, public services annihilated, citizens turned into customers for mega corporations with their own laws! #BrexitChaos
Context in this 🧵
@BBCNews @guardian @itvnews @SkyNews Get a news crew, go on the streets and ask the UK public what a charter city is! Someone once asked me to frame the answer as if I were talking to a 10 year old.

Never forget the ERG (a tax payer funded thinktank) now run the UK Govt, they took money from the Koch's and Mercer family to push through corporate influence on UK policy making. Next they will abolish the welfare state and privatise the entire UK.

Tweeted this back in May, now the ERG occupy Cabinet. A week after the Queens death, the most radical r/w libertarian policies fomented for years, designed to inflict, punish and humiliate those struggling to make ends meet is pure disaster capitalism.
Problem is colossal power & influence of this global network of liberty, it's infiltration of institutions like WEF, IMF, World Bank. Libertarians have an army of +500 right wing think tanks funded by dark money and multinationals like Exxon Mobil, the Koch's and Mercer families

The UK's 'Don't Look Up' moment is on a permanent unending loop, it's a tactic the libertarian radical right have unleashed on an otherwise unsuspecting public, massive distraction techniques while they rapidly accelerate all out disaster capitalism during crises. #BrexitReality
Mogg's restructuring of sovereignty, of taking back control didn't quite reveal it's true intention. Rewriting laws to favour corporate hegemony paving the way for the privatisation of the entire UK.
Do you know what a charter city is? Ask your friends.
Just as VoteLeave campaign was proven to be fraudulent, successive waves of corruption, corporate heists, lockdown scandals, conflicts of interest were put into practice, copied from libertarians like Tom Bell and Paul Romer, why? To capture and hold hostage an entire country.

Guess who will get rich and who will suffer and die.
@raycraib Sunak signed off on UK's Freeports, his mentor Stanford's Prof.Paul Romer taught him well. Sunak surrounded by the who's who of free market fundamentalists, Critchlow, Norquist, Singham, Gebel, Brimen, Schumacher, Chafuen. Same patterns of 2016 ref fraud as Brexit!

Here's what the Dutch Govt are doing about the rise in energy bills. The cabinet and energy companies have reached an agreement to lower the energy bills. Starting from the 1st of January 2023, the Govt will pay towards the energy bill of every Dutch household.
Govt will install a price cap for energy: every household with energy usage under that cap will pay the energy fees from before the start of the war in Ukraine. Everybody who uses more, needs to pay the current market price for energy for their usage above the price cap>
This will stimulate cutting back on energy where possible. Govt will pay the difference between the household's energy bill and the current market value. Nov-December 2022, the monthly payment is already lowered to pre-Ukraine war levels.

It's happening. Privatisation of entire regions of UK will see charter cities run by corporations with their own laws beyond Govt reach, regulations, planning rules eased to encourage industrial, commercial & residential development. UK 1 big tax haven
theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
The Charter Cities Governance Handbook, everything from rewriting laws to favour corporate hegemony, small Govt, to 'universal bank transfers' for those on UC/disability being told what they must spend their money on. Truss has this guide under her pillow
chartercitiesinstitute.org/wp-content/upl…
Unsustainable welfare systems, declining birth-rate (The white Anglosphere)
Education systems that don’t educate & often inculcate attitudes inimical to prosperity (Kill independent thinking and turn citizens into slaves)
This is Frost's script for Truss

Truss steals £100bn of taxpayers’ money, hands it over to energy markets who've reaped astronomical profits during a time of profound economic crisis. Tories despise those on middle to low incomes, they worship at the disaster capitalist altar of Buchanan and Hayek. #GTTO
Bigger picture for recurring heists of public money is accelerating, post Brexit is a live experiment whereby the clean slate is set up for 'capital hungry' frontier capitalists who have bought x10 UK Freeports with 75km 'investment zones' around them.
This 🧵details how charter cities owned by multinationals and arch libertarians known to Truss as her network of liberty are recolonizing entire regions with segregationist dystopias for cheap labour next to super rich NIMBY cities. This is happening now.
