Month: January 2023

On January 10^th the Coulsdon and Purley Debating Society debated the motion “Businesses and Service Providers are using technology to thwart contact and impose control of our lives”.

Maureen Levy proposed the debate, and below is her speech delivered to the society.  As always with this friendly group the debate was good natured, very well opposed and drew out some great views from the audience.

“I am sure many of you remember when people could, to a great extent, make their own individual decisions on the direction of their lives and what to say and think and whom to deal with?”

Although the debate is entitled Businesses and Service Providers are using technology to thwart contact and impose control of our lives insidious control is much greater than just through business and service providers.  I am afraid it goes much wider than this and, although some may say this is a conspiracy theory, governments and worldwide organisations are as guilty – if not more so – than businesses and service providers, unfortunately accepted as fact by many.  One such example is underlined by Germany’s proposal to change presumption of innocent into presumption of guilt. The gradual withdrawal of the use of cash to digital. Our ’masters’ have become much less recognisable and rule by consent is being eroded.

I am sure many of you remember when people could, to a great extent, make their own individual decisions on the direction of their lives and what to say and think and whom to deal with? There were certainly a number of constraints back then but nowhere near the insidious restrictions and limitations there are now so that one is forced into taking a route chosen by others and the use of technology to impose control. Our manufacturing base has gone and slipped quietly away to be owned abroad which must have been with the connivance – or stupidity – of our government.

Back then there was no internet, mobile phones and other electronic methods of control such as social media and data harvesting of an individuals’ details to be used to control our lives. Once The World Wide Web, emails, social media, data harvesting and such like were invented and implemented, we were lost. Unscrupulous, people, organisations and governments find more and more ways to manipulate our lives and give power to those in control to keep citizens under increasingly constant surveillance and control their lives.

Customer service is often no more or on the way out. If self-service tills, credit card and mobile phone payments were not used and encouraged by those who use such tills and such like manufacturers would not be encouraged to install more and more such tills and the gradually disappearance and reduction of serviced tills and the use of cash and picking up more information on everyone on the way.

“Going cashless is one of the first steps to total digital control. Businesses, services and government – Bank of England – can stop you from using your money to buy certain goods”

Going cashless is one of the first steps to total digital control. Businesses, services and government – Bank of England – can stop you from using your money to buy certain goods; Your accounts can be programmed to complete control over you personally and over your finances.

• not allowing purchase of sugar drinks, burgers, meat and such like; 
• Not allowing purchase of goods from certain countries
• On what you can watch on TV
• Where you can go (see Oxford and Cambridge diktats)
• What transport you can use
• Websites you can visit and so on.

Going cashless should be everybody’s concern.

Customers are acting how governments and companies chose. manipulating/coercing the population into compliance / acceptance of Government, business and service providers in readiness for what is to come. We must resist and at least use staffed tills

Through these methods, Big brother is indeed watching you and is indeed obtaining more and more control over our lives. George Orwell was right with his dystopian vision in his books and were a forecast of what is happening in the here and now.  The thought police are interfering, intruding, prying, snooping, meddling in everyday lives and it will get worse.  They are inhibiting, hindering and obstructing your daily movements, thoughts and actions. The concept of freedom and individualism will be abolished under the pretext of protecting you and you will be told ‘we will make your decision for you’.  The norms of the past are being deliberately eroded and the deliberate twisting of reality. It is altering the known structure of society.

“businesses and such like have conveniently – or deliberately – forgotten they serve the public and not the other way around.”

The culture is shifting and governments, businesses and such like have conveniently – or deliberately – forgotten they serve the public and not the other way around.  There has been a significant change in the structure of society. The insidious altering of the perception of things which have become ideologically offensive to a few, often to just a very small organised minority view, are taken up as fact and imposed by those in control who are afraid of upsetting the politically correct brigade. Imposed upon the majority who do not hold such, often bizarre views of the world.  It appears these kind of views are often taught and disseminated through our school and infect our young.  I am afraid, we are, to a great extent allowing them to do so and sleep walking to another type of slavery.

There is attack on Christian faith and the English Language. Brighton University banning the word Christmas.

Men and women being redefined.

Allowance of very small minorities to dictate policy and take control of thought – very like Napoleon in Animal Farm!

Cambridge dictionary redefining what a woman is and it is not a female woman.

Disabling the capacity for critical thought. They decide what should be preserved. What removed or altered or falsified. Abbreviated jargon to text speak which is becoming ingrained in our children. An invigilator found a student writing her English Literature exam paper in text speak. When pointed out, the girl hadn’t even realised what she was doing it has become so ingrained.  The student asked for extra time to re-write but was denied.

The constraints on individualism and the one size fits all to group think.

• Constraining of freedom of speech
• Constraining the freedom of the press
• Constraining the freedom of assembly
• Constraining thought
• Constraining the right to withdraw one’s labour

Social bonds are being broken down. Destabilising the family units and undermining love and pity and family ties. Cutting people away from their family roots to being of little or no importance. Encouraging conflict of interest between old and young.

“We saw the need for grieving with the pageant and outpouring of grief at the Queen’s funeral and laying in state, much of it from ‘ordinary people’.  Why should such outpouring and relieving of grief be reserved or retained just for the rich?”

One example of this is the current push to send family members – often presented in adverts as the useless old – away to be cremated when they die with no members of the family or friends being present. Just throw them on the rubbish dump with no ceremony to remember their lives. Just forget they lived.  The ashes are returned for people to celebrate the dead persons lives’ as they want’, if at all. (If they are actually the persons ashes!!)  We saw the need for grieving with the pageant and outpouring of grief at the Queen’s funeral and laying in state, much of it from ‘ordinary people’.  Why should such outpouring and relieving of grief be reserved or retained just for the rich? Erosion of the rights of the poor.

In this time of increasing costs and expenses Do any of you remember the Soylent Green film about the special ingredients that go into the making of the peoples’ dietary staple because real food costs so much that no one can afford it, the government provides the people with a synthetic substitute biscuit, supposedly made from plankton. –  a synthetic substitute Soylent Green which is actually made from the bodies of dead humans. Something to think about.!!

‘Someone’ – we know not who – makes a decision of what the official line is and proceeds to shut down any different view with a false view of the world so we do not know what is true and what is not. We will make your decision for you. There is loss of independence and independent thought.

“The asking of what you are spending your money on. How long will it remain your money?  We should try to keep cash and our physical High Streets.”

Choice is being take away. Bank branches are closing and people are being directed to use on-line banking as with other businesses, services and government departments. The asking of what you are spending your money on. How long will it remain your money?  We should try to keep cash and our physical High Streets.

The current drive to stop people eating meat or of farmers being encouraged to stop animals farming to plant–based production. Liberals in charge of the systems.

Control proposals – such as

• Oxford proposal of dividing driving zones and with residents only allowed to drive outside of the defined zone a certain number of times a year or having fines imposed.
• Canterbury’s ‘Local Plan to 2045’, proposes splitting the city into 5 districts, with drivers unable to cross between districts by private car – even if they live there. Those who break the rules will face fines enforced by number-plate recognition cameras and won’t be able to make simple journeys around the City
• Or Islington restriction of heating and hot water to a few hours a day.  
• The gallop to the Green agenda and net zero does not take into consideration – or care – on the collateral damage to poorer people.

All these plans are part of the Net Zero 2030 Agenda.

It is not about saving the planet – which is undeliverable in the way proposed – but about control – and profits for some.

Smart Meters and ability to monitor usage and times of usage and Electric current shut off is possible. Encouragement to install Smart Meters with £100 off if use less between certain hours – which, of course, cannot be done without the ability for monitoring – which, of course,  it is claimed cannot happen. Smart and electric cars, Smart Phones, Smart Cities credit cards, paying by Smart mobile phones, all ways of knowing where you are and what you are doing all with the ability to monitor and control. They are even developing Smart Socks which can detect neurological and other illnesses which will be passed to Doctors and Insurance Companies for their use and manipulation and not likely to be to the benefit of the person.  Notice the word SMART is used to insidiously imply people are smart to use.  No-one wants to be considered stupid, do they?  

Digital currency and discouraging the use of cash. All presented as safety and convenience but actually about tracking and surveillance. Remember the Canadian Government stopped the bank accounts of the truckers who would not listen to the diktats and direction of the government and refused to follow the controls of Covid inoculations.

Speaking of Covid restrictions – where were the Human Rights lobbies then and the deafening silence.  If they spoke up they were shut down or not reported.

“All this means YOU are paying for the phone call and someone – usually the company or government department – are reaping the profit through pay back contracts with the telephone companies.”

Have you noticed that the use of the telephone to companies and government department and the time taken, often half an hour or more – messages letting you know that you can use on-line systems and the button pushing before you can get to a human assistance if at all – often taking 5 minutes in itself. All this means YOU are paying for the phone call and someone – usually the company or government department – are reaping the profit through pay back contracts with the telephone companies.

Few face to face meeting where you can read the body language of those in the room.  Where you can only see a few of those taking part and only allowed to speak should the ‘controller’ of the meeting allow. Zoom meetings introduced with claims to protect you during covid lockdown.  Have you noticed how many organisations continue to only zoom meetings now the danger has passed?

Self-appointment does not make it lawful. The curtailing of the freedoms of law-abiding people is not lawful. It is not about health. It is not about saving the planet. It is justifying unreasonable emergency measures and an inexcusable fraud. Covid Lockdown was based on guess work and not science.   It is now emerging that Pfizer mislead the public. The scientist who did not agree were shut down.  Several scientific studies have emerged that call into question the safety and effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines, raising alarm bells about the potential harm they may have caused and their ability to prevent infection and transmission. It was, and is, Control.

We are slowly and acceleratingly losing our freedoms.  Propaganda through the Main media disbursing misinformation and suppressing news which does not fit into their and controllers’ version of reality. Destroying the fundamentals of the glue of society. Particularly the traditional family. Of mum and dad bringing up their own children. We are becoming the swallower of slogans and propaganda. Vague rumors taken as fact

It is all designed to teach us to obey.  All institutions are being infiltrated. Money making scheme for the usual suspects.

We should not accept this. They are playing us for fools. We need to protect our own identities as much as we can. We should say ‘No’ and ignore as much as we can.

It’s all interconnected. Largely by design. The ultimate aim is digital, social and financial control through: Central Banking Digital Currencies and as many ways as they can find.

Like all inventions, one has to attempt to make sure they do not end up controlling you.

I believe the genie is out of the bottle or another Pandora’s box has been opened and there is no way of putting it back in.

“Covid Lockdown was based on guess work and not science.  The scientist who did not agree on the need for mass inoculation and lockdown were shut down”

Summation

Self-appointment does not make it lawful. The curtailing of the freedoms of law-abiding people is not lawful – but what do they care, they have the upper hand and are well on the way to complete control. It is not about health. It is not about saving the planet. It is justifying unreasonable emergency measures and an inexcusable fraud. Covid Lockdown was based on guess work and not science.  The scientist who did not agree on the need for mass inoculation and lockdown were shut down.

Climate lockdowns will be disguised as ’15 minute cities’ coming to a city near you and about control and extortion. Note how easily the word Lockdown slipped into our everyday conversations! Our government is fully signed up to Net Zero 2030 Policy. There will be digital ID, programmable credit score Control of money, food, movement and all services with central bank digital currency. It’s all interconnected. Largely by design. The ultimate aim is digital, social and financial control.

In fact, an open-air prison to most. Of course, a very rosy picture will be presented to the public

We are slowly and acceleratingly losing our freedoms.  Propaganda through the Main media disbursing misinformation and suppressing news which does not fit into their and controllers’ version of reality and narrative.

We should say ‘No’ and ignore as much as we can. One has to attempt/try to resist as much as possible to make sure they do not end up controlling you through: –

• Thought police
• Changing things which had become ideologically offensive to those in control.
• They decide what should be preserved. What removed or altered or falsified.
• Faking of photographs – Instagram.
• Swallowers of slogan and propaganda
• Constraining freedom of speech
• Constraining the freedom of the press
• Constraining freedom of assembly
• Constraining thought
• Constraining the right to withdraw one’s labour
• Ridicule
• Destruction of words and language getting smaller with the aim of narrowing the range of thought with fewer words and expressions.
• Insidiously pushing its way into our everyday lives and overpowering and erosion of our individuality.
• Internet purchases with more and more individual shops being closed down so that physical choice and movement is restricted.
• Cutting off channels of communication

The genie is out of the bottle or another Pandora’s box has been opened and there is no way of putting it back in.

“I stopped DD the and replaced with a Standing Order of the amount I wanted to pay.”

Service problems

Bank closure – Coulsdon did have 6 banks and 3 Building Societies. Now it has none even though residents and RA’s asked at least one was left. 

Gas and Electric company I used transferred/sold to another company.  I had happily paid by direct debit for at least 20/30 years.  If I went into credit, they happily automatically paid credit back to my bank account.  I was not informed of the transfer until a year after this had taken place.  Once officially told the new company wrote and told me they had increased each of my DD payments by over 100%.  Told them to put back whilst also increasing to amount paid (but not 100%).  Told them not to do again.  Had to argue for re-payment of credit which had accrued as a result of their increase of DD to over £400. By the time I argued on repayment and reduction of DD this had gone to more than £550. Their accounts department rejected request for repayment.  I stopped DD the and replaced with a Standing Order of the amount I wanted to pay.
