The Bank of England – Free From Government Control

30 March 2024 @ 12:48 pm

The Bank of England is a private corporation. The evidence demonstrating the fact is all in the public domain, if you care to look. It runs the UK like its own private business. Power in the UK does not reside with the politician's a few of us elect. We are sold a seemingly never ending stream of lies, such as the lie that we do not have a codified written constitution, or the lie that the UK Prime Minister runs the country. Perhaps one of the most egregious is that the Bank of England is a "public corporation" that is wholly "owned" by the government.

UK independent journalist, researcher and documentary filmmaker Richard D. Hall faces conviction, sizeable damages and an injunction that could potentially end his career and his livelihood. The High Court of Justice has denied Hall the opportunity to present any kind of meaningful defence. This travesty of justice has potential implication, not just for Richard D. Hall, but for all journalists who dare to question power. Hall was attempting to defend himself against a civil claim for harassment brought against him by two of the reported survivors of the alleged Manchester Arena bombing. The claimants' original claim stated:

Interrogating “Multipolarity”: A Response to “Understanding Power Dynamics”

18 January 2024 @ 8:57 pm

[This piece is a response to an article originally published by UKColumn which challenges my position, which is shared by OffGuardian (and others), on the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. The UK Column article maintains that “traditional” geopolitics remains a vital topic for the alternate media, and that multipolarity represents a positive alternative to Western Imperialism. Written by Catte Black (from OffGuardian) and myself, this response puts a second case, arguing that what some might call “multipolarity” does NOT represent any real alternative – and that neither “side”, whatever the depth of the objections to each other – have the welfare of ordinary people as their goal.
