Mogg's comany Somerset Capital Management was until recently heavily invested in a company closely connected to the Kremlin. He will always put personal greed before moral and ethical principles.
Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Kremlin Contradictions – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2023/05/16/jac…
No surprise that Mogg’s calls for stronger sanctions against Russia were conspicuously absent. His investment firm at that time was heavily invested in the Russian Federation, and these investments included a stake worth some £60 million in Russia’s Sberbank. Follow the money.
'Sberbank is very far from being a conventional bank as that might be understood in Western countries. Majority-owned by the Russian government, it has provided copious funding to Russia’s military-industrial complex'. This is basically Putin's Bank.
Rees-Mogg is a collaborator of the worst opportunistic kind, remember the Russia report stated that the British Establishment had been comprised beyond mitigation and that's the redacted version! Govt refused to look into Russia's links to the Brexit referendum. #Russia #Brexit
Mogg is a traitor, a far-right libertarian in servility to the Putin regime. The Brexit Bruges Group, of which Mogg is a blood brother has voiced outright support for Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. It is obscene that no criminal proceedings against these people have started.
'From 2017 Rees-Mogg’s Twitter account began to be boosted by large numbers of followers that appeared to be Kremlin-linked accounts'.
Between 2014 and 2022, the Putin regime may have come to see Rees-Mogg himself and his Bruges Group associates as rather useful Russian assets. This is the price our democracy pays for our so-called elected representative's collusion with despots, Mogg should be arrested.

Tom Bell, libertarian advocate of charter cities and non-territorial governance should chill you to the bone. I believe Sunak's Freeports and investment zones will birth charter cities under corporate governance with soon-to-be ex-MPs as joint landlords.
Be aware Tom Bell's book 'Your Next Govt? From the Nation State to Stateless Nations'. SEZs will sell off sovereign territory to foreign investors under 'jurisdictional arbitrage'. A charter city can be built on vacant land or it can transform an existing one. Rule 'by' law. Image
Bell advises 'Pronomos', a venture capital fund set up by Patri Friedman (grandson of Milton) dedicated to building the cities of tomorrow with laws derived from ULEX 'open source' system. A colonialist imperative to isolate away from democracy.

The particular brand of libertarianism the far-right are busy with in post-Brexit UK is known as anarcho-capitalism. Murray Rothbard (b.1926) a member of Mont Pelerin Society in the 50s, referred to states as 'organized banditry', despised Govt of any kind and saw tax as 'theft.'
Sunak and his acolytes are demonstrably showing what kind of Brexit Britain they are molding, it is in this image of anarcho-capitalism where all public services, security, utilities, infrastructure, health care are owned by the market with no safety net for those unable to pay.
To do this successfully, democracy is placed in a stranglehold, all protest is stifled, unions are heavily fined, agency workers are deployed and public money is syphoned off to private hands. Contracts replace constitutions with no public tender. Citizens become customers.

Legatum Institute=Disaster capitalists leeching from Brexit. Pro deregulation+privatisation of NHS
Legatum "values disruptive transitions to create unique opportunities"
Scores of firms relocating to EU, leaving many assets under-priced, see SEZs Freeports
eureferendum.com/blogview.php?b…
Charity Commission records Legatum as a registered charity, it received over £4m income in 2015 up from just under £3m in 2014 and a mere £2,500 in 2013.
Do not be fooled, this is an all-out r/w economic war on the back of Brexit against the 'oppressive constraints of democracy'.
The greatest concern, though, comes the Legatum website. Having invested heavily in Russia and developing countries, the business speciality is moving into markets at times of crisis where assets are mispriced. li.com Please read it, it will shock you.

Property tycoon Ivan Ko hopes to find site for a charter city named Nextpolis between Dublin and Belfast to host 50,000 fellow Hong Kongers #brexit
theguardian.com/world/2020/jul…
China’s recent imposition of national security laws in the region has prompted many Hongkongers to consider leaving. The British government has promised to provide assistance and relocation.
A department of foreign affairs spokesperson in Dublin confirmed there had been talks with Ko but appeared to pour cold water on the idea.
But don't assume there won't be many more property/city developers eyeing post-Brexit deregulated 3rd country UK to install slave cities.

The British colonized Hong Kong after the opium wars in the mid-1800's. Brexit has eyes on Hong Kong’s coastal experiments in capital accumulation by framing it within SEZs, demonstrating you don’t need to create new nations, you just carve up old ones.

Truss’s Investment zones have been quietly picked up by Jeremy Hunt, consider Thatcher’s previous efforts to create a Hong Kong-on-Thames in the context of post-Brexit and the Govt’s resurrection of deregulated economic enclaves via Sunak’s Freeports🧵👇🏻
The Square Mile of the City of London is a zone that's survived since medieval times, known as the Vatican of Capitalism, like Hong Kong it enjoys the peculiar status of political independence as it is governed by different rules, and in its elections, businesses have ballots too

“A gift to rogue employers looking to exploit workers and put them through long, gruelling shifts without enough rest”
Deregulation of +800 EU laws and protections will impact food standards, the environment and workers rights. #Libertarian #Brexit

An attack on Food Safety Laws. FSA 'We are critically reliant on REUL to both set the high level principles of food safety and much of the detailed operation of the regulatory framework' food.gov.uk/board-papers/r…
An attack on environment protections means corporate polluters are incentivised by Govt to profit from ecological impacts, they are given carte blanche to dump more sewage, extract more fossil fuels and minerals til there's nothing left but a wasteland.
