  • The Spider’s Web: Britain's Second Empire, is shows how Britain transformed from a colonial power into a global financial power. At the demise of empire, City of London financial interests created a web of offshore secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it behind obscure financial structures in a web of offshore islands. Today, up to half of global offshore wealth may be hidden in British offshore jurisdictions and Britain and its offshore jurisdictions are the largest global players in the world of international finance. How did this come about, and what impact does it have on the world today?

    The square mile of London, known as the city of London was never conquered by the Normans. It was a walled fortress with access to the sea, and as such the bankers could escape the power of the Norman kings. Concerned that the bankers would pose a threat from their money changing and money manipulation activities, the Norman kings introduced a national currency called Talley sticks which kept the city of London bankers at bay, for almost 700 years. But in 1700, the city of London finally got control of the national finances by establishing the private "Bank of England" which loaned all the kings money into existence as debt.......driving a rapid trade and colonization expansion of the British empire to feed the ever expanding pool of interest accruing debt based money pouring out of the private pound issuing banks loaning out credit. The next disaster to engulf the world was when the private central bank, the "Federal reserve" was established in the USA which gave the bankers complete control of the USA and by default, the world. These tax havens, these dodgy financial shelters are just one small aspect of the many crimes that banksters do on a daily basis.

      So, you are from Malta? Interesting that a minority of the electorate voted in favor of the Constitutional proposal of 1964 which was used as the basis for declaring independence. Yes, a majority of those who actually voted, 54%, supported the proposal, but the party of Mabel Strickland, a staunch anti Independence campaigner, boycotted the vote. Seems that, even back in those days, political machinations with self interests, were to the fore. Would be interesting if a similar expose of Malta was undertaken to understand more of the current day dealings of more recent politicos, as seen from that recent event against the local journalist.

The flow of those funds are quite complex. It has been been building up for the last 60 years now. It will be quite challenging to de-stabilize this movement.

    However, if you find this shocking, have a look at France’c control of the Central African France. Used by Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon, these countrys have no control over interest rates or financial policy and it means France can control the price they pay (or don’t pay) for minerals and commodities from Africa.

    The British Nation blindly trusts their leaders (not unique but in an age of information, you would expect people to ask fundamental questions) - The leaders serve Corporation's and the rich elite who seek to change legislation for the benefit of themselves by taking Power away from others who can intervene. Take Brexit as an example, the rich want to remove minimum working hours, workers rights, tax regulations so these can be influenced by lobbies whose clients are Corporations and Individual wealthy Businessmen which includes owners of land from British history. Every intelligent person who follows politics knew, Brexit would harm people but the people's naivety and, cunningness of the 'elite' convinced them that Brexit is Panacea to society s financial problems - Today: they pay more for energy (and no, Ukraine may have made things worse but not fundamental cause), price of fule is higher, food prices are higher, NHS investment has gone up and politically, UK is weaker globally with not a single significant economic trade deal.

A 48/52 split is designed to continue the feud between the Leavers and Remainers forever. And Boris Johnson was not a Leave advocate, he was just waiting to see the best option for himself OR most likely waiting to be told what to do. So how people elected him to be PM is flabberghasting although I suspect they actually didn't.😮
