Yesterday, National Grid published a document called “National Grid – our role in the electricity industry”, in which they argue that in the near future they will not be able to properly play their role in balancing electricity supplies across the grid, and that large consumers such as shops and factories should be asked to reduce their energy consumption at peak times.As National Grid states in the first paragraph: Their documentsTheir job is to “balance the network, making sure demand and supply match up second-to-second, and asking suppliers and generators to make up the difference.” “They are not responsible for…
Numerous articles in the mainstream media today allude to the fact that we are rapidly sliding into a tightly controlled fascist existence, very similar to George Orwell's nightmarish 1984. that is Village cricketers banned from playing on grass Has been in use for 37 years, or Gardens confiscated by a tyrannical parliamentIt must be clear to most people that the Health and Safety Corps is changing the face of what Britain once was and poses a very real threat to our culture and family life. If they're not changing our lives or suffocating us with cotton wool, they're snooping behind…
Prime Minister David Cameron, Conservative MP Brooks Newmark, and US intelligence sources allege that chemical weapons were used in Syria. This “fact” is used to strengthen calls for military action to ensure the overthrow of Assad. But are chemical weapons real and where is the evidence? Brooks Newmark is a former banker and financier, believed to be a member of Shearson Lehman Brothers, Newmark Brothers, Inc., Stelican, Inc., and Apollo Management LP. Newmark, now a Conservative MP, wrote a full-page article in the Sunday Mail on June 9, 2013 calling for the arming of the Syrian opposition and the removal…
Last Monday, our Malcolm Massey, Neil Foster and Mark Anderson walked around the Globe Hotel after the Bilderberg meeting to see what was on show, and what they found was a conference room with a Thomson Reuters display panel. The exhibit panel, prominently displaying the Thomson Reuters logo, was titled “Unleashing the Power of Our Integrated Platform in Financial Markets.” Bilderberg agenda item? Why would Thomson Reuters advertise to attendees at the Bilderberg conference? It's easy to imagine Reuters advertising at a financial event for City of London traders and casino bank managers, but why politicians or businessmen? What are…
Tim Yeo has been embroiled in the Lobbygate scandal, forcing him to step down as chairman of the Energy and Climate Change Committee.Lobbygate is the latest scam perpetrated against MPs in a bid to bring about changes to the UK's constitution, with multiple MPs and nobles currently attempting to receive payments from journalists posing as lobbyists in so-called sting operations. is involved. Calling Lobbygate a scam may sound like an apology for bad behavior. But Prime Minister David Cameron knew before the 2010 election that this was “the next big scandal waiting to happen”. So why was nothing done to…
This year's Bilderberg conference attracted dramatically more attention than previous years, from both mainstream media and protesters, and drew more than 2,300 attendees. This increase, more than double last year's Chantilly conference, is hailed by many as a success in terms of exposure, and many believe it represents a ray of light in the dark curtain of secrecy that often casts a shadow over these conferences. Perhaps this is a bit of a jump in the fun: Looking at the attendance figures, Saturday's over-representation may actually be a smokescreen to hide what is fast becoming a bigger problem in the…
Speaking at the Hay Festival, the former head of MI5 said “the enemy is everywhere” and highlighted the recent “clash of civilizations” rhetoric.If that were true, it would be a surprising confession. Mr Rimington's comments, bearing in mind that MI5's role is to protect the British public from domestic threats, suggest that the agency is not fully fulfilling its role. Corporate media coverage, predictably, leaves no room for doubt, as it promotes the idea that she is “evoking a wartime spirit.” In fact, she and they promote the ideology of the clash of civilizations, the idea that the days of…
Today, the EU gravy train is back in the mainstream press, with the Daily Mail highlighting the huge difference in income between MEPs and the rest of society. As real incomes fall further, the gap will widen further. Workers will see their wages rise by 0.8%, while the cost of living will increase by 2.4% (food prices will rise by 5%). According to the Daily Mail,. The 0.8% increase is incorrect. There is no increase. When the cost of living rises more than wages rise, what we are actually seeing is a decline in purchasing power. But MPs and members…
Yesterday evening, Jon Snow tweeted: “Stock market hits highest point since 1999…are alarm bells ringing…or simply the closing bell?” If the alarm bells aren't ringing, they should.A few weeks ago, Business Insider made this point very clearly. On the chart of the dayInvestors are now, as in 2007, leveraging their stock market bets. Speculators use their stakes like crazy In other words, they are gambling with money they don't have, and this debt bubble is what is driving the stock market.Aren't rising stock prices a symbol of growth in the real economy? After all, stock prices represent the value of…
Foreign Secretary William Hague said yesterday that Britain would veto the reinstatement of the EU arms embargo on Syria at next week's foreign ministers' meeting if member states block moves to allow arms transfers to rebel groups.The Hague has French support for his demands, which is not surprising since we are tied at the hip as a result of a 50-year defense treaty. “I can say that we are prepared to do that (the UK's veto) if necessary, but of course we are looking for an agreement with other EU countries.” Of course, Mr. Haig, but you will move on…
