Regarding the need for homes in the U.K - I think there are several million uninhabited homes that are being 'sat on' as investments. What to do? Should the gov't have the (authoritarian) power to commandeer them and turn them into social housing? The alternative is to build new houses on brownfield sites, as well as green-belt areas. I'm assuming high-rise is out of the question since it is well-proven to have been a social disaster.
Wouldn't surprise me if homes were deliberately being bought up and kept empty in order to justify further housebuilding opportunities for the money-hungry international property development community... They care nothing for the British countryside or culture, that's for sure.
If the UK is anything like Australia, there is a desperate need for housing, as neo-liberal govts have neglected building social housing, so people are forced to pay market rents. Now that the cost of rents has risen 30% or more in parts of the country, many cannot afford rents, or are being told they can't afford to rent, because the rent is now more than 30% of their income. This means many are forced into homelessness, or social housing.
This is another of those situations that has been created by wealthy politicians pandering to the wealthy, and treating workers like marks, to be conned, deceived and generally ripped off.
If there is not enough land in Britain available for use without infringing on nature, perhaps it is time to tear down the old homes held by the British Historic Trust, all over the place, and build there. Why have these pointless monuments to past glory, when real, live, people are suffering, because they cannot find affordable housing, in a gamed system?
Access to housing is a human right. Though some (who already have their pieces of paradise, presumably), think badgers and newts are more important? If that is the case, let's tear down those crumbling old piles that cost the taxpayer a fortune in maintenance and upkeep.
I agree, in U.K the then prime-minister Margaret Thatcher sold off council (social) housing - fair enough but no new ones were built since - hence we have astronomical rents, obviously not regulated enough. Politicians have indeed sold the British public down the river. Also Thatcher sold off the water-supply system (now a sewage disaster) all run down - it's been asset-stripped. Likewise electricity and more. It's a deliberate policy to grind people down into poverty and dependency.
And to justify it all, the controlled press raised two random economists (Friedrich Hayek & Milton Friedman) to superstar status because they said the right things.
“In reality, “sustainable development” is a scam dreamed up by financial industrialists to allow the diversion of massive amounts of public money into their own pockets, via support for “green” initiatives.” — This really says it all with regards to all things Green New Steal.
With respect to Charlotte Gill's network/map, do you know why Brian Eno — as but one of 13 Advisory Board members — is singled out?
Ditto. That's all I could come up with ... the other 12 being relative (if not utter) non-entities when it comes to public fame.
BTW, notice that the number of board members is 13 ... a favourite number of the occult cabal. It's probably no coincidence, in the same way that the lynchpin SDG of "Climate" is SDG 13, and that the number of SDG "Targets" is set at 169 (13 X 13).
Thanks. Another excellent article and it is great to see Michael Swifte's work being referenced. I wonder what all this building is going to do for genetic diversity and the environment that the left is always bleating about. I see no sign of this great uprising where I am but am willing to join it any time. Have been listening to the Erna Bennett interviews. I like Iain Davis's work but prefer Erna's explanation that Democracy is a term we use to stigmatise ourselves.
Thanks Paul for the excellent article and the scam which is the nature restoration funds, and more to look in to with the SEZ. I picked up on the data center mention in your article. If you haven't seen this video, it's an excellent breakdown of the exorbitant amount of energy and water data centers will need and how this will be a real issue for towns they are built around- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um7BK4qwmo8 Couple this with the intensive water needs for critical mining (Australia to be a critical mineral superpower) https://kate739.substack.com/p/when-is-mining-the-st-out-of-australia and that Australia (and many other countries) are working towards people's houses not needing to use any energy for heating and cooling, I think there is a clear picture of where the resources are needed- not by us but for the fourth Industrial Revolution and the AI governing system.
Exactly Kate. So-called "renewable" energy is not meant to replace the other kind, but to add to it so as to feed the voracious digital Matrix. Thanks for the video link, I will take a look.
Democracy and freedom already lost in the UK, that’s what Brexit was! UK is the most surveillance outside Chinese Uyghurs community, and the first western country with digital ID. The battle for freedom is already lost.
Off topic here, but wondering if any translation into English exists of Jacob Cohen's works and where to find them? I bought a book in French and am seeking a translator. Lord knows how much it might cost to do so, yet so far, no takers or cost quotes.
Great round-up thank you.

Fair point ... given the world we live in nowadays.
Oh high rises are going up all over the shop. It's called 'student accommodation', apparently.
... riding on the "Tiny House' philosophy too, no doubt ...
Just tax them higher as they are not productive but just an "investment".
But the reality is that they pay less taxes cause politics bullshit.
Hi Joshua,

I used to be afraid of the transhumanist push.
But these days, I see that they're full of hubris and cannot see why their inventions fail.
Even genetics is still a pseudoscience. I doubt it will proceed beyond gimmicks.

Neuralink and other ideas of brain chips ignore the fact that your brain codes differently than anyone else's.

Cheers. No, don't know. Just because he's famous, maybe?

The situation is grim but all is not lost while there are still men and women who cherish freedom and are prepared to fight for it.
Thanks for the Anneke Lucas link, Paul. Straight into my archive, that one.
He reminds me of Dolores Umbridge, minus the kittens.

I haven't seen any mention of English translations. There was just the English-language video that I previously linked. https://archive.org/details/JacobCohenDocumenterview480p
