Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state – it’s time we reined him in

Elon #Musk is, more or less, a #RogueState. His intentions are self-serving and #nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

To put it into context, if dollars were metres, Musk’s money would be enough to take him to Mars and back, while a mere millionaire could only make a round trip from Paris to Amsterdam.

He has:

#Kafkaesque: Starling Bank blocks cash transfer & froze their account

An Edinburgh academic has accused #Starling bank’s fraud team of behaving like officers in a police state after they repeatedly refused to allow him to send a €15,000 (£12,800) payment to a friend in Austria, then froze his account when he complained about their “absurd demands”.

When he told the #bank that he considered its demands a gross invasion of both his and his friend’s #privacy (and likely data rules) and totally disproportionate in the circumstances, he says it still refused to transfer the money. The staff could have told him the payment was at his own risk, but wouldn’t.

The final indignity came when he said he was so fed up with his treatment that he wished to close his account: the bank announced it had shut him out of it.

Trump tells supporters they won’t have to vote in the future

Former president implores Christian supporters to vote ‘just this time’, then ‘in four years, you don’t have to vote again’

Constitutional & civil rights attorney Andrew Seidel, for instance, replied to video of T#rump’s comments writing: This is not subtle Christian nationalism. He’s talking about ending our democracy

Stop the Government from spying on all of our bank accounts

The Government is sneaking in new powers to spy on all of our bank accounts on the premise of dealing with welfare fraud and error.

It will force banks to flag people who meet secret criteria to the government.

Everyone wants fraudulent uses of public money to be dealt with, and the government already has strong powers to check the bank statements of suspects.

But this is a major expansion of government power that takes away our financial privacy like never before and does away with the presumption of innocence - the democratic principle that you shouldn't be spied on unless police suspect you of wrongdoing.

The government is offering welfare surveillance to every benefit claimant, whether you like it or not!

Petition/Campaign to Stop the Data Grab Bill

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill will gut UK privacy laws, attacking our ability to challenge data abuse and expanding ways in which the Government can snoop on you.

The bill contains powers that would enable them to snoop on the bank accounts and financial assets of anyone who claims ANY benefit. That includes child benefit and the state pension, alongside tax credits and universal credit.

England to diverge from EU water monitoring standards

This is the latest example of the UK diverging from EU environmental standards. Recent analysis found that many toxic chemicals and pesticides banned in the bloc since Brexit are not outlawed for use in the UK. Ministers have also sought to rip up EU-derived sewage pollution rules for housebuilders.

In 2019, the last time the full water assessments took place, just 14% of rivers were in good ecological health and none met standards for good chemical health. The government has said it does not intend to deliver a complete update until 2025, the latest permissible date under the new WFD.

various more interesting insights and ideas in this, more than i rabidly sporadically jotted down and paraphrased here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zwq0pnLdX0
#who and #wef on the day of announcement of covid crisis unleashed their action plan which was obviously pre planned part of their global thinktank corporate-superstate-autocracy totalitarian technarchy devoid of #democracy (which we can still mend and re-implement all over).

"totalitarianism's ultimate goal is to render human beings redundant to its functioning as a system of governance"

when cbdc comes we must resist it with everything we've got.

no one could want this horror, unless #problemreactionsolution raised on a series of appocalyptic threats, our #children, raised on #austerity, on national decline, on banking crises, environmental crises, on health crises. they graduated to #lockdown, and #masks and #vaccinemandates. they've been bombarded by fear. and they're being offered as a way out of that explicit~ out of that terror, these transhuman programs. and that's why it's up to us. one of the things we can do, is reaffirm the human being.

#imagine and #create a #better #future, #now.
a future not at fear.
not scared of each other. at our most human.
individual acts of #noncompliance
question capitalism, and the horrible society capitalism created.
#decentralise #decentralisation.
#presrvedata #presrvehistory #makedigitalbackups #makehardcopies #hardcopy #books #buybooks
... if you are reading this, you are the resistance. ;)

we can do better.

"... and so now it's over, the, the, ~
and that's really frightening.

It means there's no~

Power is in no way accountable.
There's no transparency.
And we know, history has taught us when that kind of secrecy imposed on autocratic power, it just, it, it~
abuse grows upon abuse grows upon abuse.
And that is why they're just determined to crucify Julian.
That's the crisis that we're in.
We've lost the ability
to know
what power is doing."
