Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Things can only get better, however as long as these crooks remain in charge of the country that means better for them not us. The UK is rotting like a fish, from the head down. Sadly, the corruption now exists at all levels of government central and local. Small wonder that Anthony Charles Lynton (check his rap sheet) Blair changed the law so that traitors would no longer face capital punishment. Planning ahead so he was.

Sadly, there’s no difference from one side of the pond to the other side. The Anglo-American Establishment is joyfully accomplishing its goal of destroying “Western” civilization. It can’t be too much longer before “The Great Collapse of Society” and then the Globalist Fascist Oligarchy can “Build Back Better” >>> THEIR <<< utopian Neo-Feudalistic Technocratic New World Order!

They’ve even told us when we can expect it to happen: 2030!

So how can we break this cycle? Since mankind is enormously divided, there is little chance this system will ever change.

And the civil service?

As you pointed-out last year Democracy hasn't existed since Ancient Greek times. Why do we put up with the system? (Hopefully enough will awaken to bring down this system... peacefully of course!).

'Peaceful' is the operative word Mike. These psychopaths, drunk on power, will gladly impose a military dictatorship given the least excuse of perceived social disorder. I warned about this some time ago: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-special-36e?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

As many psychologists have pointed-out 'Just say no', which to date I have done. The animal in me wants more however, likely arising from the frustration of my inability to wake people up. I pray that this is the year of awakening - there are a few hopeful signs. But they're always a step ahead.

Of course it's all about the Money, or rather keeping the debt-based Keynesian ponzi scheme afloat, to their own ends. Not too many(?) seem to understand this a century on, least of all the politicians.

In my country, we call it pornocracy. :)

Yes, this is a lot of it. Good work again.

Yes, this is some of it. Good work again.

Brilliant as ever, Iain. Although you forgot to mention Satanists. Good few of those rattling around in there too.

Yes, Iain, I think you are a Voluntaryist (all governments are illegitimate, immoral, unnecessary evils) as myself? You cannot vote your way to freedom.

A memorable quote by the favorite Voluntaryist scholar Robert Higgs: "If anarchists are idealists, they may simply be likened to someone who finds himself swimming in a cesspool and, rather than paddling about looking for the area with the least amount of floating faeces, seeks to climb out of the pool completely."

For me, here is one of the best quotes for persuading persons to abandon government as a way of disordering (intended) things:

“This is how the world will change. When the world becomes free it will not be by the creation of new laws, or the removal of old, or new political leaders, or any election result. It will not be because of a change in government, but because of a change in attitude toward government. Genuine change will come when the state is ignored, not reformed. It will not come when politicians are better, but when they are irrelevant. When state-made law is no longer deemed necessary or important it will not be respected. When it is not respected it will not be enforced because it will not be enforceable. The world can become free of the barbarous relic called the state. The state is a dangerous fiction whose power rests entirely on people’s belief in its necessity, or inevitability. It is not a given that a state must or will always exist. The state, like so many other superstitions [e.g., slavery once accepted as necessary] now thought to be outrageous, inhumane, and inefficient, can be left in the ash heap of history.” Isaac Morehouse

I saw a pithier quote attributed to Voltaire: The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.

It's a lot simpler just introduce real democracy: https://off-guardian.org/2022/04/15/democracy-is-dead-long-live-democracy/

The end of BS reform evolved into the natural law of justice and inalienable rights.

Very good - excellent quotes thanks. In short: DO NOT COMPLY and this is going to be very important once they try their CBDCs. The only answer I can see is to form self-sufficient local economies: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-localisation?s=w

Iain, I've been following you for some time, and as Pompey resident, you make us all proud.

Here's a little excerpt from one my efforts

It's incredible who people will vote in to power,

The inability to lead that leaves a taste so sour.

Fame hungry celebrities not diplomatically concerned.

Nacissistic tendencies will leave you getting burned.

Bravo Iain - all very true but Joe Public is not listening - he will go to the slaughter willingly unthinking and turn out to vote for these dumbos time and time again. The people get the government they deserve is so very true these days as extremes go far beyond rational and into the sphere of the Mafia.

A ‘Pathological liar’ is absolutely the toughest individual to deal with as a psychiatrist. Because you can’t take anything they say at face value. And you can’t, you know, fill in their personality. You don’t know what’s real and what’s not. – Dale Archer: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-special-ec0?utm_source=email
