No apologies for banging on about these books this morning - but they really are the blueprint to which ERG/IEA/Tufton Street are working
A thread

2/ Firstly there is the realisation that the Information Age will change everything - it did. But these books foretold it and advised those with wealth to grab the opportunity bull by the horns and use it. They describe it "the fourth stage of human society,"

3/ Rees-Mogg Snr argued (correctly so far) that this new age would liberate individuals as never before, irrevocably altering the power of government. It’s not just forecasts - it is scarily accurate in identifying that the new revolution of power which will liberate and empower

4/ Sovereign Induvidual describes it as the most sweeping revolution in history. Faster than all but a few now imagine, predicted microprocessing would subvert and destroy the nation-state, creating new forms of social organization in the process. It was not wrong.

5/ This change offered opportunities - to influence, to lead and to profit - all anonymously with the use of existing wealth to establish control, not through normal hard controls, simply through influence.

5/ Sovereign Individual also calls out the end of large scale violence -war. Putin clearly doesn’t agree and nor does the USA or China but they won’t be the arbiters of it. We already see the US economy “suffering” because they can’t export arms (death) as much as they used to

6/ nor can the superpowers use their influence (from supply of arms) to control because the power of influence, the very dynamic has moved from state to individual. Russia did get this bot (no typo) and set about abusing the information channels to create chaos in the west

7/ the exact same mechanisms were and are being used by the über rich to create belief in unbelievable scenarios - like Trump’s presidency & Brexit. Supported by Putin because it destabilised the West but designed for controlled chaos - this is where Blood In the Streets kicks in

8/ Blood in the Streets sets out the strategy - design and control the chaos. Know when it will happen and how and invest accordingly. Shorting currencies, destabilising markets, interest rates and inflation all designed for one thing: the sovereign wealth of the already wealthy

9/ they’ve been in delivery mode for over 10 years. It brings us to another book - Britain Unchained written by
Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Chris Skidmore and one Elizabeth Truss in 2012

10/ In Britain Unchained there is a blueprint, not for wealth or success of a nation (although that how it is badged) but for the delivery of the managed chaos that the wealthy need to maximise profit. The pinnacle of this delivery will be when there is Blood In The Streets…

11/ once we, the mere mortal poverty stricken (relatively) plebs, are fighting on the streets, the ultimate chaos has arrived, the optimum moment to buy back because markets are at their lowest. This is the context within which to understand the first two weeks of Trussonomics…

12/ Essentially, these capitalist behemoths give not one jot about anything but their own wealth. They despise paying taxes to support those less wealthy. They hate the very idea of social welfare and progressive taxation terrifies them. Corbyn wcould have been their Nemesis…

13/ so they used their influence to ensure he never grabbed the reigns of power. They own the press, they own the bot farms, they own the message, they own the govt. they profit and eff the rest of us

14/ and this is why @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer we need #PR proportional representation - because without control of the govt, architecting chaos is a lot harder and there is the inconsistency of their strategy.…

15/ They see the end of nation state power and influence yet need and are entirely dependent upon that nation state power and influence in order to design their chaos. PR removes that control. Permanently.
