Britain is the ultimate example of if the nation state doesn't control international finance capitalism, international finance capitalism will control the nation state.
Hey Keith, amazing article. Top notch analysis of one of the most tragic and quietly explosive declines of one of the world's former great powers.
I think financially speaking as well, it's worth mentioning that mass migrants have actually increased the decline of the public finances of the state as well. Some amazing and controversial but likely correct research has come out of the mainland of Europe, essentially confirming that migrants are a net drain not just in that they are human rent extracting devices for companies to take from the state, but also drains on the actual economy - black markets, parallel and untaxable transactions/businesses, and even how they send money home, effectively removing wealth from the UK. I have seen the wealth removal here in the US firsthand - it is particularly curious to me that we don't even bother to cover how migrants are effectively robbing the state that hosts them.
I pray for a Europe that stands against international finance. It has been tried many times before, time and time again, and it is a battle that must be fought fiercely it seems.
Real Wealth and its accompanying employment is created by Production and manufacture, using the natural resources of its territory, and the skills , ingenuity of its labour force in the Agricultural ,Engineering,Mineral extraction and Manufacturing sectors.
The primary dependency for a modern Industrial society is a cheap enery source, either fossil fuel ( coal, oil ,gas or Nuclear.)
Renewable energy from wind or solar is inconstant and can not replace the present demand.
Fossil fuel energy is finite and the wells are running dry, while population growth is expanding, increasing demand for heating, housing and food products.
Fossil fuel is preferred, because of it derivatives in the form of plastics, fertiliser,lubes etc and its flexibilityy for transportation to locations as needed.
Nuclear is but raw electric energy ,with a waste heat component possibility.
At present Nuclear is the only feasible energy replacement source, while oil/gas /coal ought to be husbanded for its derivatives.
The curse of the modern economy is the Un -productive, parasitic, FIRE sector, ( Finance, Insurance,Real Estate) which is negative on GDP, extracting an unearned Rent on Labour by its fraudalent ability to create credit from thin air.
With the decline in fossil fuels, modern Industrial societies are at a crossroads, as we see in Germany;s present Industrial decline ,due to the sabotage of its cheap Russian gas supply and the suicidal weaponisation of the Green agenda on its Industry.
Without an Industrial sector a Nation loses the ability to defend itself or project Power.
The Ukraine conflict is an example of the failure of NATO's 32 member Industrial bases to produce sufficient weapons to defeat and progress the resource looting war on Russia.
Great article, but the real issue with Britain is that no one is going to address this situation. I am preparing an article where I compare the main 2 right wing contenders in the UK and France based on electoral results; Reform and RN. While the RN has some distinct characteristics from the ruling parties (even if they are waning due to Le Pen's moderation efforts), Reform could be described as a slightly right copy of the Tories; it panders to the same demographics, supports the same solutions, and tries to adopt the same multicultural standards. Also regarding the economy, Reform doesn't mention any proposal to support industries. It will be published tomorrow.
The real issue is the West exists in a transitional stage in which total revolutionary change in its political structure and world outlook is necessary yet people think they can vote away a treasonous ruling class and the superstructure of the liberal order. This is the defense mechanism inherent in liberal democracy, it funnels all dissent back into its system rather than truly against it. Imagine if the liberal order functioned as a formalized dictatorship without the illusion of democracy, then all dissent would become revolutionary.
That's also true and it's something I have mentioned in my Telegram channel, it's obvious that people are thinking that voting is effective when they don't know that the real political power is held by the business and political elite as well as central banks. It's one of the reasons why the last probably radical government that came into power in Europe, which was SYRIZA in 2015 (because unlike modern populist parties this one won based on anti-austerity and anti-EU sentiment and Greek economy suffered setbacks during the first months of office) was ideologically neutralised after the 2015 referendum, an analysis of which is coming in today's article on the Greek referendum.
People got brainwashed into thinking racism was immoral.
Racism (if we must use the term) isn't moral or immoral, it's neutral. It becomes moral when defending your people and promoting your people's interests, it's immoral when you harm other groups in a cruel way without justification.
Therefore, for one to be a moral person they must be a moral racist, while wishing the best for other races who aren't against them, but to remain skeptical of outsiders and to separate out of desire for peace and cohesion.
The sense of decline around much of Britain is tangible.
Provincial towns have increasingly been left to rot - with their once-bustling and well-kept centres reduced, almost uniformly, to grimy and run-down strips composed of Turkish barbers, mobile phone repair shops and takeaways. This is, of course, to say nothing of the broader, community-eroding effects wrought by the massive expansion in "diversity". Once confined almost exclusively to cities, there are now few places that can claim to be untouched.
Public services are in dire shape. Use of the NHS involves the endurance of ever-longer waits, in order to receive a standard of care which is often only passable at best. In the majority of instances, the police are indeed simply not worth the trouble to contact. Investment in basic infrastructure lags behind that which is necessary in order to meet with the demands imposed by a swelling population. Instead, priorities lie in the littering of cities with masses of identikit apartment blocks - erected hastily in order to provide a quick private rental fix, courtesy of the demand placed by the many newcomers (notably students).
As pointed out, wages have remained effectively stagnant since 2008. By now, the public has come merely to accept that this is how things necessarily must be.
It is genuinely difficult to see where the county goes from here.
Recently I read History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind by Stephen Goodson. Not too long of a read but there's also a audiobook on YouTube that's uploaded( for now).
After learning that this knowledge and the subsequent economic actions taken by a certain Austrian painter was true cause for ww2 erupting was really elucidating to me. Ever think of writing an article on debt based monetary systems and the perils of usury? There's also a fun short story that people can avail of to quickly learn, called A Parable on the Dangers of Banking - The Money Myth Exploded, it's uploaded by user leather apron club on YouTube. You ought to post more on this topic on X where you have so much notoriety!
Just an insight I've had, you mentioned that a demographer estimated that native Brits will be in the minority by 2066, well that's a funny and specific number.
Knock off 1000 years and you get 1066, just saying I don't think it's a coincidence.
Vert well written! Thats a good summary of it all. But in regards to Germany's post war success, a couple of years ago I learned that it was contrived, of the 14 Marshall Plan countries, 12 (sans the UK and FR) were effectively and in some instances explicitly forced to purchase all their capital goods (machinery, etc.) for the investments from Germany, which essentially force gave Germany a large number of hostage export markets off the bat because MP money and the various foreign debts they quickly accrued were channeled to purchasing from them no matter what, and then they completely forgave ALL of Germany's debt but not those other countries, in fact, not only did they not forgive them, they were conditionalized and some of the conditions seems to always specifically prevent investments that would boos the manufacturing sector. In some cases, like Greece, Germany had literally stole most of their manufacturing sector (they disassembled whole plants and moved them to Germany) and then those countries were forced into perpetual manufacturing trade deficits with Germany! The German people did a great job, the quick rebuilding couldn't have happened without them. But it wouldn't have happened the way that it did, to the huge extent that it did, absent powerful international forces (it seems Big Finance was big into this) and the United States government making it happen that way
Almost perfect! You left out Thames Water and the railways...
Be in no doubt the Right (populist and official) would rather burn the welfare state and pension system to the ground before changing these arrangements. Numpty Sargon already saying abolish pensions.
Watch also how Labour have pledged to involve Blackrock in UK infrastructure and Blair wants to use pension funds to "supercharge" growth. What could go wrong?
Anyway, we have to be strong enough to say we're not honouring these corporate debts and we're writing them off. Cross debt cancellation can also be used to liberate Ireland, Greece etc etc
Britain is the ultimate example of if the nation state doesn't control international finance capitalism, international finance capitalism will control the nation state.
That's not enough. Financial capitalism will try to destroy the nation state. We are seeing these attempts everywhere in the West.
The WEF itself is the leader and spokesman for this policy.
Very well said Evola's Sunglasses. You nailed it, mate.
Thank you for doing the audio version yourself as so many others don’t.
Very nice article, Keith.
Thanks!
Very well written Keith👍☘️
Thank you
Seems like UK has been taken over by money lenders who love immigration.
Yes Ireland as well.

In other words, Israel must be destroyed.
Brilliant analysis of the death of Britain.
A great piece.

Spot on article. Too bad you won't mention the certain ethnic group in the finance sector that is responsible for all of these negative changes.
I'm excited to read this, however I'm a bit worried it might only talk about the 'What'.
A lot of posts on Twitter, YouTube, Substack etc focus on the ‘What' without explaining the ‘How'.
The What-to-How Pipeline = identifying problems and also figuring out how to solve them.
Heya Keef. Exceptional article as per usual.
Recently I read History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind by Stephen Goodson. Not too long of a read but there's also a audiobook on YouTube that's uploaded( for now).

Knock off 1000 years and you get 1066, just saying I don't think it's a coincidence.
Its likely sooner now as the prediciton was made before the most recent increase in immigration, but yeah i see the symbolic nature of it.
